faction. All who deal with Mr. Mil

in bis line, you will save money by
giving him a triaL Tribune.

Tbe Richfield correspondent to

This community was terribly shock
ed last Saturday when it was statod
that Miss Henrietta Itease, daughter
of Mrs. Bonj. Kauffmnu, died vory
suddenly at tho homo of Enoch
Swartz whero she bail been employ
ed for sometime. Mr. Swartz lad
beeu away from homo and upon re
turning found tho bouso locked,
when be entered through a window
only to find the nudo body of Miss
Pease, which bad already turned
black. Upon investigation it was
discovered that she bad made an at
tempt to commit an abortion, which
was plainly proven by the medicine
and instruments found by her aide.
The funeral was to have been held
on Monday, but later reports say
that tt took place on Sunday owing
to the bad condition of the corpse.
Although we have not beard her age
we would judge that it was near 23

and Gilbert's.
Ono of the greatest ariiiminl a
against tho too-great nso of farm
muchinary is illustrated on tho farm
of P. B. Criden,. near Beech Creek.
this county. This spring Mr. Crideri
put out a neklof liG acres of corn.
and, just to experimeut, he pluntedi
the entire held by band. Tho liold
was first nuuked out in cheekem
about three feet square, and them
planted. The utuioht euro was si.
erciued, a til but four grains of coin
were put ui one bill. The nhosnl
of which there was about a ton, to
every toa, acres, was also put ia by
baud. And now the result fiu ex
ceeds tike most sanguino eipec-
tation.. The corn in fields along-
sido Mr. Cridor's field is onljr of tho
ordinary growth, while tho orn in
Mr. C'tidar's field is all froiu twelve
to sevontoou feet in height Stud many
of the stalks bear two and some
tUree ears. Mr. Crider anticipates
barvesting anywhere from 15,(HK1 to
20,000 bushels of corn from off tlmt
field and those who Lave teen it
think there is no douU that be will.
The Boil on which tbi cron in l.in
raised is of the low moadow, partial-
ly loamy kind. It is better adaptod
to the raising of bay orops"than corn,
but the preseut showing would in
dicate that with proper cultivation
it is also adapted to the raising of
the cereals. Mr. Crider also Lah m.
other field on a farm on Marsh creek
which contains fifty acres, on which
the corn is iust as good as on hi
farm at Beech Creek. A"a
