One hundred dozen of quail have re

Association of Pittsburgh, and turned out
at various points in Allegheny county. The
birds came from Tennessee. Quails used to
be quite plenty in Western Pennsylvania,
but of late years only a few have been
found, and the Spoilsmen's Association has
had to stock Allegheny county several
times. The scarcity is attributed to the se
verity of the winters. The new birds were
turned out upon farms where there seemed
to be good cover and where it was believed
that they would be protected.

It is rather early in the season as yet to
begin wi;h gloomy prognostications about
the prospects of the Europeaa wheat crops
for the ensuing year; but it cannot be de
nied that there is a certain raportance to be
attached to the reports of the English pa
pers about the rotting of young wheat all
over the Continent, and the devastations of
the enormous floods. This gives a peculiar
interest to all current information resect
ing the condition and prospects of our own
American wheat crojis, which if good, will
bring good price aud wealth to this coun
try. We would advise iuc:e than the usual
acreage ot spring wheat, io be ready for

From the Bedford Inquirer: On last Satur
day morning Frederick Clayeomb, of Union
township, Bedford county, was found dead
in his room. He was a bachelor and was
about 07 years of age, and for a great many
years had been living alone. He was always
looked upon as an eccei.tr' ' old man. He
had beea seen after dark on Friday evening
attending to matters about his house, and
at the tame time it was discovered that the
window sash had been knocked out of the
frames. Albert Kitchey went over to the
house, pushed open the door, and on enter
ing the room he saw old man Clayeomb
lying on the bed dead. He evidently had
quite a struggle during the night. The bed
clothes were partly o!T ot the bed and he
had worked himself under the tick, and got
himself fastened in the bed cords. One cord
pressed tightly over his face, and another
over his throat. His arms and legs were
held down by the cords, and the scratches
and bruises on his face and arms showed
that
self.
Xathau Goff, Esq., of Clarksburg. West
Virginia, an uncle of the Hon. Xathau Golf,
Congressman elect from that State, has for
sixty years, notwithstanding his numer
ous aud engrossing business engagements,
been a volunteer distributer of the scrip
tures. He thus concludes a letter to the
American Bible Society:
"During the war I continued the distribu
tion throughout Harrison county, and also
gave a great many Bibles and Testaments to
soldiers in the Union army. From my ear
liest recollection with the cause, whenever I
have sent to the Parent Society I have met
with prompt and generous answers to my
requests. After the war I began to supply
the freedtucn. At one time the Society sent
me a donation of seventy-five Bibles for
that purjwse. It is understood all through
this country that I keep on hand all kinds
of Bibles and Testaments for sale and for
gratuitous distribution to the poor, so there
is hardly a day passes that I do not distrib
ute from one to twenty. As near as 1 can
rite, I have distributed between 23,000

Soith Pens. The South Penn Kail-
road Company will begin work to secure
right of way in Fulton, Bedford and Somer
set counties, within a short time. The offi
cers of the comjiany express their belief
that the owners of land over which it is
projKised to locate the road, will show a
proper appreciation of the benefits to be de
rived from the building of the road, and
with a desire to act fairly will not ask spec
ulative prices, bnt agree to give the right of
way for reasonable compensation. In
many places no money will be asked, for
the owners of the lands know that the road
will open up new markets, and bring their
properties up in value. In some instances
the right of way has already been tendered
by the owners. But there are cases where
the building of the road wi'l damage proper
ties. It is not expected tl.at these people
shall sustain this loss. The company don't
ask that they shall, but they desire that
these people will meet them on friendly
terms, and in an amicable and friendly way
agree upon a jus compensation for any in
jury received, ills nopexi mat litigation
may be avoided in this respect, and that the
road may be constructed w'th the owners of
land along its route as its friend. .'i.-d

Thb Potato Caor. The potato, which is
now on the table of nearly every family, and
a dish at nearly every ineal.of the day, was
first found in the low lands of Chili. It was
growing wild, and was iu 1550 never found
more than one inch in diameter. The pota
to crop of this country now reaches over
125,000.000 bushels annually, valued at
$100,000,000, and every year notes an in
creased production, unequaled by any other
farm crop.
At this time potatoes are selling in cities
at $1.00 to $1.25 per bushel, w hile wheat is
only worth 93 cents to $1.10 per bushel. As
an illustration, we will take wheat as yield
ing. TO bushels per acre, which will represent
a value of $33.00 per acre, while potatoes at
150 bushels per acre, will represent a value
of $187.50. Of course all farmers cannot get
$1.25 for their potatoes, but even at 50 cents
per bushel they will bring him $75.00, and
nfore than 150 bushels to the acre should be
the rule rather than the exception, and I do
say that any farmer can realize $100 ier
acre for his potatoes if his laud is at all
adapted to the crop, if he proceeds intelli
gently about selecting the seed, and in cul
tivation. hongh thousands of families are depend
ent upon them as their main article of food,
they are also largely used for feeding stock ;
thousands of bushels are annually manu
factured into starch ; alcohol is distilled
from the juice, and sugar has been made
from the tubers.
Our most profitable potatoes now are of
recent introduction ; this is true of all vege
tables, but it is most emphatically true of
potatoes. In the different varieties in culti
vation we find a great variation of yield be
tween the best and poorer sorts, the best
yielding varieties being three to four times
as productive as this poorer, and it is a fact
that by far the largest acreage is planted
with poor yielding sorts. Among the best
old sorts are the garnet, early and late rose.
But the seed is becoming far from the true
sort; it is becoming mixed, and therefore
produces but half a yield. The best of late
introduction are the Mammoth Pearl, Mag
num Bonum and Burbank Seeding, which
I have been growing for the past two years,
and I would especially recommend the
Mammoth Pearl for its large sire, produc
tiveness, and fine flavor. Its yield is two to
three times as great as that of any other
kind. I pot one peck two years ago, and
riiseil between six and seven bushels, thpn
sold and nsed tome ; last spring I planted
four bushels, and if the season bad been a
good one, I could have gathered 100 bushels.
I also have the other two varieties named
above. Aiiv. reader wishing to try any of
these new varieties can have tbem, at aliout
one-half the price charged by seedmen, by
addressing C. H. Schmuckcr, Somerset, Pa.,
who will sell them by the pound, peck,
bushel or barrel. The past season was par
ticularly favorable to growing potatoes. As
regards the bugs, they were doing but little
damage uompared with previous years. Let
us hope it is the beginning of better times,
and say, in the language of the poet,
FARtWEI.L TO THE BLC.S.
Good-bye ! ye bugs, you strijed devils !
Who have brought us oft so many eyils ;
Your absence now may leave some room
For better things in years to come.
Farewell, you crawling, devlish pest !
How oft ye have disturbed my rest;
Stole in my fields and ate my Vines
For years on years, at sundry times.
Farewell, you poor, pesky " crater I"
No more you'll nibble at my tater ;"
No more we'll hear the deacon swearing.
Or cursing fate, and oft despairing.
Farewell, thank (tod ! a long farewell !
We hope you all have gone to
Gone for good ; gone, we hope to stay ;
We'll lift our bats, and hear the deacoe pray.

Sir .Democratic reform in Addison twp.
is like a bird trying to fly with one wing
little lopsided. The Commissioners havw
doubtless learned this fact during their short
stay among us. The Assessor seems to wear
reversible glasses, and when he assesses a
DemotrSl he thinks of the panic of 1873,
and his lands, money and cattle are put at a
very low figure ; but when he assesses a
Republican he thinks of prosperous times,
and his property at once advances one hun-
dred ptr cent, if not more, and is assessed
accordingly. One might think that the as
sessments are made according to the ability
of the parties to pay taxes, but such is not
the case, as some Democrats, who are
abundantly able to pay, are assessed more
than one-half less than their Republican
neighbors, whose lands would not bring
much inore than half as much in market
those of his Democratic neighbor. Addison
township is largely Democratic, but Repub
licans pay more taxes than Democrats, and
this can only be accounted for upon the
proposition that the assessments are unequal
or that the Republicans have the prepon
derance of wealth and intelligence. There
may be a little of both. There are two ad
joining properties on me National road :
the one is owned by a Democrat, and the
other by a Republican. That owned by the
Democrat is claimed to be the most valua
ble property in this end of the county for
its size, and that owned by the Republican
is regarded as but ordinary, but the most
valuable property is assessed at $10 per acre,
presumably because it is owned by a Demo
crat, and the other at $22 per acre, because
it is owned by a Republican. This is not
the worst or only discrepancy, or the above
reasons would not be assigned, but about
the saibe condition of things seems to exist
throughout the township. A party bought
two acres of ground out in the mountain
for a nominal sum and it was assessed $30,
while its real value is not more than $6 but
they are Republicans. A Democratic farm
er is offered $4,000 in cash for his farm and
it is assessed at $300, aud his Republican
neighbor is offered $3,000 for the adjoining
farm, but it is assessed at $Uo0. It is sug
gested that assessors should be sworn on a
corn cob, in the interest of mock reform.

Not seeing anything in the Herald from
this section of the county for some time, I
thought a few items might be of interest to
your readers.
Onr trappers have met with good success
during the winter. Jacob Hostetler alone
killed two skunks and one possum.
Mr. Samuel Hay is building a new house.
When finished it will be one of the finest in
this section of the county. Mr. Hay is a
well-to-do mechanic.
The boys of this place had the pleasure of
attending a school exhibition at Lavans-
ville under the auspices of J. Albert Berk
ey on Thursday night, the 1st inst. The
programme consisted of dialogues, decla
mations, recitations, etc The exercises
were very entertaining, and muclrcredit is
due the teacher and pupils.
Many of the wheat fields in this section
look well, although iu some fields the wheat
is "winter killed,"
Several of our young men have taken
Horace Greeley's advice and have gone
west.
Sugar making is now on foot, and of
course the weather is here too. Juuging
from the outlook now the "taffy" will be
plenty in a week or two.
Independents are as scarce as hens' teeth
n these parts; of course they will vote the
regular Republican ticket hereafter.
Our Reform Governor has promised good
times: let s see.
J. A. Berkey, teacher of the Lavansville
school, will start for California, where he
expects to remain about four months at col
lege.
Mr. J. M. Hostetler is the boss keeler
maker, having made about three hundred
this winter.
Mr. Wm. Weimer is lying dangerously ill
at his father's, H. II. Weimer.

Onr Democratic friends, by placing four
Independent Republicans on their ticket at
the late election, "killed the goose that laid

Last Friday night the smoke house of
John S Meyers was entered by some sneak
thieves, wbo took things by the wholesale.
Ther carried olf twenty-three pieces of
pork, consisting of hams and shoulders. It
is to be hoped that Mr. Meyers will be able
to ferret out the guilty parties and Judge
Baer provide a home for them in Allegheny
Citv.
-Mrs. George J. Schrock slipped and fell
on her shoulder, dislocating the joint and
fracturing the collar bone. Dr. Miller, of
Berlin, drcessed the wound, and the patient
is now doing as well as could be expected.
l.ast Sunday Joseph Brubaker. one of
Brothersvalley' best and oldest citizens,
died after a few days illness of pleurisy.
Last week Mr, Irvin Suder and wife were
poing to Meyersdale, and in going down an
icy hill the sled slipped around and in strik
ing an object threw Mrs. Suderout on the
ice, bruising tier very mucn. ine doctor
thinks she will not be able to attend to her
work for some months.
The past winter was a good one for ice,
and a largo number of our farmers packed
from half a dozen to a dozen loads for the
coming hot season. There is no reason why
every larmer should not have a good supply
of ice during the hot month of summer.
"Ground hog" Is King, and for the past
