Very little of an exciting nature has occurred in this vicinity since last we wrote. Farmers have been busy plowing for wheat, putting up bay, cuttiog corn, and some few have sown wheat notwithstanding tbe continued dry weather. A larger acreage than usual has been plowed for wheat, but owing to the fact that chinch bugs are ex ceediogly numerous, a large portion of it will not be sown, at least till late in the season. Those who were fortunate enough to plant their corn very early last spring have good crops, but late corn is almost a failure, on account of chinch bugs and dry weather since harvest The walls of the new school house in district No. 25 are completed and tbe roof will shortly he put on.

it is a snug little building of stone, 22x24. We believe it will supply tbe want of this district very well in the meantime. This neighborhood is awakening to the fact that wolves are getting by far too numerous. Scarcely a neighbor about here can be found whose chicken roosts have not been visited, more or less, by the 'varmints." There should certainly be a bounty on the critters in this county, and the people should turn out en masse and if possible clean out the last mother son of them. Last Saturday a game of base ball was played between the Slough creek, Morris county, Red Jackets and the Liberty township, Davis county, Plough Boys, resulting iu the defeat of the former.

The score standing 20 to 25. Look out you fellows at Fort Riley. That we may have to chronicle a big rain next time is the wish of the Greenhorx. At Manhattan. William Cutter, of this county, has been elected an honorary member of the Manhattan Historical Society.

He was present at a meeting of that society on the 21st and took part in the discussion. Says the Nationalist Mr. Cutter was requested to give bis experience in grape culture. He said that tbe losses of 1874 had been so severe and extensive that he bad been discouraged from entering upon extended experiments with the grape. Theonly varieties that he had found uniformly successful were the Concord and Dracut Amber, IJe wished to criticise the report of the last meeting of the society, wherein it was recommended lo mulch the ground under fruit trees while frozen, so as to retard the spring growth, He did not think this plan could be a success.

Growth could be retarded only by shading the tops, after grapes are one-fourth grown they seem to be almost independent of tbe root, and will mature after the vine is girdled, making a growth much larger than they would naturally. In reply to some remarks of K. that he had tever bead in boyhood of pruning vines and that he bad never pruned, Mr. Cutler said that, unless Mr. Moses bad a pretty large place, he would soon be compelled to s-earch iu his Leighbor's yard for his fruit, a his vine would surely outrun au ordinary place in a few years.

Iu regard to mulching Mr. Cutter thought that frequently in winter mulching did good by keeping the ground from freezing about the roots, that a slight flow of sap can be secured iu the dry months of the winter. More plants perish from drought iu winter tuau is generally imagined. There is no use of talking. Febriua will positively cure the worst case of fever and sprue.
