Simw the dftwtt of last Sabbath «, m. c;ie of our tiappy nam bet lias the River of Death, and though It has saddened tb« Hearts of all, yet it lias dealt out more sadness to the Harness family and relatives thaa to the rest of us; and it would seem for a time more than they are able to bear. Oue week ago to-day Mr. and Mrs. Harness were visiting her brother and other friends a: Solon, apparently en- J»yl»g good health, and at parting the same fond farewells were giveu in the same manner as has been done many times before. Little any of the them thought then ere three days had gone one of them would be numbered among tho Angels, and thoir next meeting would be beside the Blverof Death. But so It was. Mrs. Harness performed her duties as tt*nal on Mou- day, without any com plaints, ate qnite a hearty supper, and soon after was seized with deleriousness, said she did not kuow what was the matter but she never had felt so before, and was able; to hear a fearful noise.** Mr. Harness urged her to retire, thinking siie was tired and fatigued with the heat of < the day. She went and got the Bible to read a chapter, as she was accustom* ed to do before retiring. Her husband seeing she was unable to read, took the Bible from her hands, and request­ ed her to refrain from reading that night. She then went to her bedside, fell on her knees and lowered her head In prayer to Him she had asked so many times to watch over her. Then Mr. Harness assisted her to bed, aud for a time she slept nicely, aud ap­ peared to be resting. . At 10 o'clock she again grew restless and Dr. S. F. Bennett was called. He said at once it was a case beyond hu­ man control, that we must trust it all with God, knowing He would do that which Is for the best. In the morning hef children aud friends were sent for, and were soon gathered arour.d the bedside of the dying woman. She was entirely unconscious of her surround- liigf, gave no notice to the words 'simken to her, but was apparently asleep. At 10:20 p. m. Tuesday site expired, without giving any symptom* j?f, consciousness or. sintering. Q# Thareday the luuvncu net bU her last resting place, where ahe had long since chosen for her burial. Mrs. Harness was bom in Lincoln­ shire, Old Etigland, April 24,1822. At the age of eighteen she was converted, and began to prepare herself for the place site now occupies in that upper and better kingdom, and hasNever siuce been striving to be more worthy of its possession. When twenty yeavs of age she was given in wedlock to Thomas Harness, has been a faithful and loving wife, as well as a kind, devout Christian moth­ er. She will be miased in the circle of her acquaintances, her labors will be missed in the church; but most of all she will be missed in the little cottage on the hill which she has Just.left. The c!;";!rcn will miss her many kind nnd Steering words, hut will ever re­ member Iter manv good acts, aud the -model .example of her life, to look on tiie bright side. The bereived com­ panion whom she has comforted for so many years, now feels that no human hand can aid him; will And consola­ tion and a life companion in Him who M has given, aud only takeu away his own;* * a w.

Address, inclosing Set. stamp, Ben Vandelf ft Co, M Ann St., New York' A Mean Slander. One o'f ihe most shameful slanders afloat, is that which charges one of our clergymen with swearing an oath the other night. The circumstances are these: He went into the house, and attempted to make his way in the dark through the sitting room into the pantry, to deposite a bunch of rbnbarb presented him by a parishoner, forget­ ting that house-cleaning had commenc­ ed. The girl had left a pail of soft soap near the door, over which he accidently stumbled. Making a Hercu­ lean eflort to save himself, he grabbed for something with both hands, and as he alighted firmly on his stomaeh pulled down on top of him a table full of crockery. Rising promptly to his feet, he made a pitch for the* match safe, but, happening to plant his foot in a puddle of soft soap, he promptly sat dowu in a tub of presei^ve'd fruits, H's poor tired wife, who had retired early, was aroused from her slumbers, and, thinking burglars were abroad, shrieked for help, to which the hired girl responded, rushing Into the room and tumbling over the man in ti»e wash-tub. These are the simple facts of the case, and that is all there is of It. Our good friend did not utter a word that could be construed into pro* fanity. He simply sat firinly and quietly among the preserves until a light was struck, and then mildly in­ quired, " How, much longer, dear, dues house'deauing last ?"--Exchange^ VOLO.

JWe understand that our school board have engaged Mr. York, of Huntley, to conduct the school the coming year. Mr. Langdor is erecting a fine dwell­ ing house on his farm near this village which Is a great improvement to the street on which it is located.

Mr The Elgin Advocate, which Is good authority in dairy matters, says that the export of cheese to Europe up to last week was 15,000,000 pounds in excess of what it was for the same period last year, while the shipment of hotter to Europe has fallen oft over 800,600 pounds for the same period, owing In a measure to the poor quality of the goods put upon the market. In regard to the low price, it does not look for any improvement lu prices for a month to 9ome. although certain shippers In New York anticipate that the European demand has Increased and that should it continue, better prices will be the result from now on About this time last year a dull season with'low prices prevailed; but about the middle of July prices advanced and for' the remainder of the season the market was brisk at good prices Such may be the case this year, but we do not believe the advance will occur as early as it did last year. W&'A.t Stockton, Cal., a doctor. In sinking a well, at the depth of sixty feet came upon something which pre­ vented further progress. A drill low­ ered down rebouhded with a hollow sound, as if striking the roof of a house or the deck of a vessel. He then put down a sand pump and obtained a good stream of water which brought up with it two brass .nuts of peculiar pattern. For several weeks past the stream has brought up quantities of tow or oakum and scales of iron or copper. It is apparent that some sort of a vessel is sunk there, though how it came so far inland is a mystery, and a shaft will probably JHMWSI be sunk, to explore the matter.. ' ' WASHINGTON CORHSPONDKNCK. WASHISGTOK, D. O., July 1st 1378. It has been said of the lately ad­ journed Congress that it has verified the homely adage---' groat cry and little wool." Some 6000 bills were introduc­ ed, which showed, at least, a disposi­ tion to do something; but the small number passed (sorhething like 400) as plainly showed a lack of executive sense or ability in some direction. The closing scenes of Congress al­ though interesting and amusing In a certain sense, were scandalous and dis­ gracing to the country. Drunkenness is always more or less indulged in dur­ ing the last few hours of a Congress but last week It was more noticeable than ever and wns confined to neither side of the House. Most of the busi­ ness done was executed in Committee Rooms and Congress proper had little to do but wait tor measures to be got­ ten ready to be voted upon. In the meantime much boisterous sport was indulged >n, and it was beyond the power of the Speaker ami even of the Sargeant-at-Arms to keep order. Spec­ tators were decidedly amused at the sight of the last named officer holding his ponderous mace aloft, chasing such members as Cox aineng the benches, in accordance with an order from the Speaker to compel the gentlemen to preserve silence and keep their seats. There was great hurry and flurry to get tilings ready for closing at the appointed time. The President and Cabinet remained at the Capital all night to sigh bills and approve of measures. Three were taken to him, sigued, taken back and acted upon dur­ ing the last 60 seconds of the session. Up to the very moment that Speaker Randall's gavel fell, there were a score or more of members demanding recog­ nition to refer or pass bills, or to make reports. ' In his closing address the Speaker said he hoped the labors just closing would result in happiness and good to the people and the country. He did not say he believed they would. Washington will probably never be come^the peer of some other American cities in point of business and com­ mercial iuterests, but surely, it should be without a rival as a literary, scien­ tific and educational center. To make it this endeavors are already beiug made, the latest proposition towards such an end being a hill preseuted at the last session of Cong .ess by Mr Blair, of N. II., to found a "Nationa Polytechnic School for Instruction iu Science and the Useful Arts." The bill proposes that such a school shall be at first supported by the surplus funds of the Patent Office, which now amounts to more than t#120,000 aud is annually increased by a sum exceeding $100,000, The Sec'y of the Interior is to be en officio the director and the Commissioner of Patents ex qfficio rec­ tor or governor. The Polytechnic should embrace schoels In Mathematics, Civil Engineering, Mining Engineer­ ing. Machinery, Architecture, Chemis­ try. Forestry and Agriculture, and is necessary to lit candidates from which Liie GoYClament may sclcrt officers to serve In the vairfens scientific bureaus, and for snrTtydjfe, financial agents, accountants, geologists, explorers, etc. The bill mentioned provides that the school should accommodate about 1,500 pupils, appointed under eertain conditions by the President, and mem­ bers of Congress, and that the cost of tuition,, board and lodging should be $250. This is a scheme that cannot reasonably be objected to and it Is to be decidedly hoped that it will be carried forward with energy. Gen. Sherman's oldest son, a youth of 22, has just sailed for England with the intention of entering there the Novitiate of the Society of Jfesus. The family are too. devoted Catholics to object to bis becoming a Monk, yet they are too warmly attached to each other to bear the separation without pain. ^ OLIVE. |ki?*The Sycamore Marsh Harvester Co. is feeling particularly happy, just now. Last Wednesday, at ten o'clock A .M., the court made an order confirm­ ing their composition with their cred­ itors, and by four o'clock of that day over $250,000 of claims had been settled and all seemed to be satisfied. Nearly all the claims have new been adjusted. On Thursday the court also issued an order turning all affairs into their hands and placing them in a position to light some dubious claims. The sales of the company, in its own territory, are nearly twice as lArge'as any previous year. The grasshoppers are all gone, nrrtna are everywhere good, and th« danger and difficulties that have hith­ erto beset them seem to be all vanish­ ing away. The orders for harvesters are twice as large as before; they are putting on the market 3000 Corr sulky plows, and 1000 of the Marsh sulky plows. They will probably work 200; hands next winter, and still more In the future seasons. The outlook Is all -very pleasant*--/Sfyeomofd ItepubHwm. Jl The crop Prospefcta. i® The Kew York Herald of Satnrdaj has a very encouraging and apparent* ly trustworthy report of the crop pr pects. The prospects of an abundant? 1 harvest in this counter seems to be cellent. About thirty millions acres-. J were in wheat the present year, an 1#«4 j crease over last year in area sown o#'w ^ ^ fifteen per cent for winter and eigh* - teen for spring wheat* We notice a curious fact that while the total sufpg, face sown with wheat is i>earty as greatC as all New England, twelve States wift v this year produce nearly foitr-tlfths the entire crop. These are Peunsy^f vaula, Tennessee, Ohio, Michigan, nIll|lH nois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesotii^ Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and California*,^ Tbe crop promises to exceed three ? hundred and fifty million bushels, of":: which forty-five millions will be need«** ed for seed, and it is estimated that we snail have a surplus of seventy mil- lion bushels for shipment, ^ Besides the thirty millioasia wheat we have fifty millions acres in India*^ | corn. Illinois alone has nine million ? ; . acres in corn, and Iowa has tlve mil* lions. The acreage of corn- has in* : 1-^ creased twenty millions sin«» 1800.^/ J 3 The prospect is for a fair ratiier than ft *, | grlat crop. The acreage in oats is Ifr ^ per <seiit. greater than last yearf the yield will be above the average.**^ The acreage in cotton Is three per ot» • greater than last year. The Sonth^' ern States have a far greater area § food crops than ever before, the pla# .3 ters having discovered that it is prof- . I it able to thetu to raise grain as well M ' cotton. We notice also that in the New England States there Is an i**» ' crease iu the nnmber of small wheit fields, which shows that the farmers lit? that region have found it profitable tcr' raise at least a part of the bread th^jL consume. ' ^ ,'j Tbe Future ot the llaitedState*. It is not generally known, even j cultivated circles, that the amount ©f; arable soil in America Is greater thin in Europe, Asia and Africa put 10- ^ gethcr, and can therefore sustain more jjj lives. This is no rash conclusion. We »speak frotn a scientific basts, and wiH ' show you what that basis Is: Otir 3 continent is narrow, and therefoi^ the . ? , WUMIE J&MI* mountain chains on the east sllfe the American continent are low; on the east side of the old world, are • high.
