The Profit in Corn.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
gives the following figures as the
oost of a crop of corn. Corn being taken
in the ^pi-airie region of the West at par
for economical feeding, let ns see what
one hundred acres cost, from an itemized
account kept with one hundred acres in
1870 in central Illinois; and this again we
tabulate for convenience to the reader :
DEBTOB.
100 acres land, rent at ?5 ?500.00
Depreciation in implements, estimated 100.00
Reed corn 15.00
Plowing, forty-seven days, at ?3 141.00
Marking. A ve days, at ?3 15.0C
Planting. tan days, at ?3 30.00
Boy. drop^i"g, teu days, at ?1 10.00
Rolling, eight days, at S3 24 00
Harrowing twelve days, at ?3... 36.00
Plowing three times, thirty-six days, at
S3... 108.00
Hu?kiug and cribbing, fifty-three days,
man and team, at S3 139.00
Hacking and cribbing, fifty-three days,
extra man, at S1.50 79.50
Total days, 224; total cost SI,215 50
CREDIT.
By 4,670 bushels corn, sold at crib at
forty-two and one-half cents per
bashel $1,985.75
Cash balance $770.25
Thus 224 days' work produced 100
acres of corn cribbed, or an expense?including
rent of land, wear and tear of
implements, and men and teams?of $1,215.50,
produced ?1,985.75,leaving a net
profit of $770.25 ; #r, again, we find that
the cost of making an acre of corn to be
withiu a fraction of oneand one-fifth days;
or, cribbed, the crop oost less than two
and one-quarter days' work per acre.
The cash expense per acre is $12.15 :
the produce is $19.86 per acre; the net
profit per acre is $7.70. To this should
be added the value of the stocks sold
standing after the corn was husked, at
$1 per acre, bringing the net profit to
$8.70 per acre. We have heard good
farmers say they could make and " lay
by" a crop of oorn at one day's work for
man and team per acre. In exceptional
cases it may be done. Our experience
is that it will oftener overrun than go
below the figures we have given.
Whether it takes a quarter of a day more
or leas, it will vary the cash cost of the
corn per bushel but slightly.

it may be useful to know that it is relieved
by using the white of an egg,
thoroughly beaten, mixed with lemon
juioe and sugar. A toaspoonful taken
occasionally is a dose.
Cure roB Acidity op the Stomach.?
I know a person, writes a correspondent,
who was in the habit of taking a teaspoonful
of pine charcoal pulverized for
sour stomach, and thought it an excellent
remedy. It was taken mixed with
sweet fiiilk.
Light pood for an Invalid.?Stir one
pound of rice flour with half pound of
loaf sugar into a quart of boiling water;
let it cook slowly for twenty minutes and
put in a form to cool. To be eaten with
cream.
Sudden Knocks.?In cases of sudden
jar, knock or jam of the hand or
fingers, immediately after the blow press
the injured part with the uninjured
hand, say, between the thumb and forefinger,
and gradually lessen the pressure.
It will nearly always remove the
pain, and generally any swelling that
might occur under the circumstances.
Warts.?The treatment of warts is to
pare the hard and dry skin from their
tops, and then touch them with the
smallest drop of strong acetic acid, taking
care that the acid does not run off
the wart upon the neighboring skin, for
if it does it will occasion inflammation
and much pain. If this practioe be
oontinued onoe or twice daily, with
regularity, paring the surface ?f the
wart occasionally, when it gets hard and
dry, the wart may be soon effectually
cured.
A Cure for Catarrh.?A medical authority
asserts that the severest catarrh
cold can be removed in about ten hours
by a mixture of carbolic acid, ten drops,
tincture of iodine and chloroform, each
7.5 drops. A few drops of the mixture
should be heated oyer a spirit lamp in a
test tube, the month of which should be
applied to the nostrils as volatilization
is effected. The operation should be
repeated in about twenty minutes, when,
after the patient sneezes a number of
times, troublesome symptoms rapidly
disappear.
What to Do ta Cue of Fire.
Do not get confused ; admit no one
to your house except firemen, policemen
or in ighb >:8. If a lady's or child's
dre3s takes fire, endeavor to roll the
person np in a rug, carpet, or any piece
of woolen stuff.
Keep all doors and windows closed
until the firemen arrive.
If smoke enters the room and it is
difficult to stand erect, get your mouth
as close to the floor as possible and
breathe easy, as there is always a fresh
current of air near the floor. A wet
cloth over the mouth will greatly aid
breathiDg.

PURSUED TO DEATH.
A Cold Blooded Crime nnd a Thrilling
Retrlbutlon?Tlie Rlderle*? Home.
In the year 1812 the western portions
of Pennsylvania, embracing the mountainous
regions between Chambersbnrg 1
and Pittsburgh, presented little more !
than an unbroken wilderness, through f
which the great road from Philadelphia
to tne neaa waters or tii3 unio vaney
passed; and at that period it was a;
lonely and daDgerous pathway to all |
wayfarers between the Eastern cities and j
the great Western wilderne&s of Ohio i
and Kentucky.
About midway of this road, and in a
most dismal locality, was located an inn, [
kept by an honest, well-to-do German, |
named Stottlers. The house was a small J
one, but the accommodations were j
amply sufficient for the travel that came 1
that way. In the spring of the year
mentioned there came from the stock !
raising region arouud Pittsburgh a
drover, who, with his flock of well fatten- j
ed bullocks, was on his way to Philadelphia.
He was *well armed and;
mounted on a horse of spotless white-;
ness. In conversation with the inmates |
of Stottlers' iDn?the most of whom j
were ordinary hunters?he stated with !
reserve the objects of his trip, and communicated
the fact that on his return he ;
i would stop at the tavern with the proceeds
from the sale of his cattle in his
possession.
On the day following his arrival the
stranger departed. About three weeks
thereafter, or at the time he was expected
to return, two Canadian Frenchmen,
of villianous appearanoe and both
heavily armed, arrived at Stottler's, and,
after breakfasting, continued their journey
eastward. In less than an hour
they returned, accompanied by a third
traveler, who was mounted on a white
horse that closely resembled that ridden
by the Pittsburgh drover. The third
party, in the course of his conversation
with the landlord, stated that his name
was Pollock, that he lived near the residence
of General Arthur St. Clair, in
Westmoreland oounty, and that he was
on his way to rejoin" his wife and children,
from whom he had been separated
for some weeks. He stated also that he
was a farmer, but possessed of small
means. The oontents of his purse were,
however small they might be, at the dis- 1
posal, in equal shares, with destitute
I travelers, such as those whose comDanv '
he was in, and whose expenses to Pitts'- i
burgh he expected to pay. 1
After partaking of some refreshments <
the three men then took the road westward.
In leas than an hour John Stottler
and his brother-in-law, John Lam
bert, a blacksmith by trade and a thor- 1
ough frontiersman, were startled while 1
in conversation on the porch outside 1
the inn to see Pollock's riderless horse 1
approaching them at a gallop. As the 1
animal neared them they saw that he was
bespattered with blood, and Lambert, j
who had just been oommunieating his
suspicions of the Frenchmen, insisted
that the farmer had been murdered, and
urged an immediate pursuit of his companions.
The servants about the inn were at
once mounted and sent out to scour the
country for assistance, while Lambert
and his less energetic relative busied :
themselves in preparing their horses 1
and arms for the chase. By noonday
about a dozen men, residing nearest the 1
! inn, congregated at the general rendez- 1
j vous, and, with Lambert for a leader, |
were soon in pursuit of the murderers. ,
I A n 1A11 vnnT? nf olv\nf Ann tyi iIa f lin I
.HKV7i a J UUiUCJ V/4 MVVUV VUV AlAAAXS VUV j
party came to the scene of the murder.
Here they discovered the evidences of a
terrible struggle. The snow which lay ,
upon the ground was much trampl'd (
and greatly discolored with blood, and ,
a few feet away from this scene lay the j
corpse of the murdered man, wedged in (
between two logs, and covered with the
rubbish of leaves and broken twigs.
Two balls had passed through the body,
and in. the breast were several gaping 1
wounds that had evidently been inflict- ]
ed with a large hunting knife. One of
! the hands of the deceased was terribly 1
disfigured, as he had evidently grasped <
the blade of the knife, which, being <
drawn through his Angers, nearly cut i
them in twain. His clothiug was badly i
j torn, while his countenance indicated i
I the intense agony of his dying mo* |
ments.
It appeared from the foot tracks in j
. the snow leading to the west that the ,
j murderers had set their horses free or j
j been compelled to part with them, and j
| this seemed a wise precaution on theft: 1
j part, as the mountainous condition of 1
! the country ahead of them rendered
' travel by foot, to those aocustomed to
i such exertion, far more expeditious than
i by horseback. Lambert and his com!
panions knowing this to be the case, determined
to follow their prey on foot, 1
j also. Accordingly the major part of the 1
party at once continued on the trail, ;
, while three or four of the men removed 1
] the body and the horses to Stottler's '
, inn. Shortly after night had fallen (
Lambert's associates became dissatisfled '
| with their errand, and in a body returned i
; to the inn. i
The intrepid blacksmith, notwith- i
standing this demoralizing defection,
I continued the pursuit alone. After (
traveling in a northwestern direction ,
for twelve or fourteen miles he came to ,
an old and disused road, running nearly j'
j parallel with the one he had left. This I.
| was called the "Old Pennsylvania!:
j Trace," between Philadelphia and Red ;
1 Stone Old Fort, situated on the waters j:
i of the Monongahela river. It was the
i first road ever opened between eastern 1
j Pennsylvania and the head waters of the 1
i Ohio river, and the ancient landmark,
*' three chops and a blaze," were still i
| visible by daylight on the old trees. ,
! This ancient road and landmark were
adopted by the old surveyors and open!
ere of roads iu the West to propitiate i
; Heaven in favor of the first settlers of i
the great Western wilderness, and hence the
first chop was for the Father, the | j
! second for the Son and the third for the 1 j
j Holy Ghost; and the blaze was merely j <
; designated to attract the eye of the ob- j ;
server. j (
When Lambert struck this old road he !
discovered on the north 6ide of it a di-!'
lapidated log cabin. Approaching the ! 1
cabin he noticed a light within, and, 1
feeling satisfied that the murderers were j '
close at hand, he gave a loud cough, j !
j This brought to the rear door of the 11
I house the old woman who occupied it, ; <
aud who obtained a living by selling ; i
j cakes and beer to passing wayfarers. j j
j Lambert, in a feigned voice, asked to j t
spend the night within, and was at once j
j admitted. He had but crossed the ' j
i threshold when the report of a musket: ,
was heard in the next room, and the ball i
i splintered the woodwork of the door
above his head.
Without a moment's hesitation Lam !
i bert, with notliiDg but his tomahawk in
; hand, sprang into the next room and ]
: struck down the man in whose hand was i
the still smoking musket. The villain's I
! companion, the smaller man of the two, i
at once fled the house; but before he had ?
passed beyond the light of the fire '
within, the avenger, with the wretch's g
own rifle, brought him to the earth in a t
I
struggle with death that lasted but a
second. As soon ns he had fired the
shot Lambeit turned upon the prostrate
murderer, who was about to arise, aud '
struck him a second time, felling him to ,
the floor again. He then, with a rope
furnished him by the old woman, bound !
the villain's hands and legs securely.
In the morning the avenge'- borrowed a j
horse from the woman, strapped upon
its back the liviDg and dead murderers, j
and before nightfall arrived at Stottier's j
inn. On the following day the living
man was publicly lynched in front of the
inn, and the two bodies were then con-;
signed to an unhonored grave. Lambert's
companions, craven-hearted as
they had proven themselves, were loud
in praise of their daring leader, who,
until the day of his death, was a hero
in the humble circle of life in which he
was placed.

In the Military Appropriation till the pay of
the cadets at West Point wis fixed at $540 p.-r
aunum without rations.
Mr. Pi*roe (Rep.;, of Massachusetts, irom
tie committee on commerce, repotted the bill
gr&ming an American register to the Hawaiian
bark Arctic. Opposition to the bill as ad yen?e
to publio policy was expressed, but the bill j
passed.
The House took up the proposed amendment [
to the constitution reported from the judiciary j
committee, which is, that "no person who has j
held, or may hereafter hold, the office of |
President, shall ever again be eligible to said 1
office.
To this proposition Mr. Frye (Rep.;, of
Maine, offend the follow.ng as a substitute:
From and after the fourth day of March, in
the year 1885, the tertu of office of President
and Tice-President of the United States eliall
be six years, and any person having been
elected to find held the office of President, or
who for two years has held such office, shall
be ineligible to a reelection.
The bill was disousred by Messrs. Kuott, of
Keutucuy, iiew. of Indiaia, Frye, of Maine,
McCrary, of Iowa. Caultield, of ILinois, Lawrence,
of Ouio, and Harrison, of Illinois.
The House r . sumed the consideration of the
proposed constitutional amendment limiting
tje Presidential teim and after considerable
discussion a vote was taken on tue passage of
the bill, which was lost by 144 yeas to 108 nays.

The Goosebone and the Weather.
The Louisville Commercial says:
The goosebone predictions are perhaps
in ore closely watched in Kentucky than
anywhere else, and it may be called the
Kentucky weather prophet. We must
take the breast bone of a last spring's
goose?none other will do, for the j
prophecy does not extend beyond the
year in which the goose is hatched. It
mu9t be divided into three different
parts, which represents the three divis- j
ions of winter. The breastbone of a
gooae is translucent, but at places has
cloud-like blots upon it. These blots
denote cold weather. Looking at the |
bone before us, we find a little cold j
weather about the first of December, I
which we have realized, and there is an-1
other blot beyond the center of the
hnnp dpnntinc cold weather about the
middle of January ; this cloud we are
passing now, and so far our little prog- j
nosticator has guided us right. We are
to have warmer weather after a few days
but the worst is to come. The darkest
blots are near the end of the bone, and I
if the prophecy fails not, winter will,
verify the saying of ooming in like a
lamb and going out like a roaring lion
Our coldest weather will come after the
middle of February, and our warmest
tires will bo required for the parting
days of winter and the first days of
spring. This is the goosebone prophecy,
and as we have the word of a good old
farmer that it has not failed for fifty
years, we would advise the laying in of
a good supply of ooal and general
preparations to meet cold weather?for j
the goosebone has said it, and old winter
will be after young spring with a big
icicle.

A Remarkable Professional Success.
Among the notable professional men of this
country who have achieved extraordinair success
is Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. x. The
prominence which he has attained has been j
reached through strictly legitimate means,and,
so far, therefore, he deeerves the enviable i
reputation wbioh he enjoys. This large meas- :
uro of success is tho result of a thorough and j
careful preparation for his calling, and exteu- J
sivo reading during a long and unusually large !
practice, which have enabled him to gain high ;
commendation, even from his professional
brethren. Devoting his attention to certain j
specialties of the science he has so carefully j
investigated, he has been rewarded in a re- :
markable degree. In these specialties he has

remedies prescribed by him have, it is eaid, i
be&n adopted and prescribed by physicians in I
their private practice. His pamphlets and 1
larger works have been received as useful j
contributions to medical knowledge. He has
recently ad-led another, and perhaps more important
wit because of more general applies- i
tiou, to tho list of his published writings. This '
book, entitled " The People's Common Senso !
Medical Adviser,'' is designed to enter into '
general circulation. Dr. Pierce has received
acknowledgments and honors from many j
eom'ces, and especially scieutitic degiees from '
two of the first medical institutions in the t
land.? Missouri (St. Louis) Republican.

SCHENCK'M PULMONIC MYRUP, MBA '
WEED TONIC and MANDRAKE PILLS. I
These deservedly oelebrsted and popular medicines
nave effected a revolution In the haallng art, and proved '
the fallacy of several maxims which have for many yean
obstructed the progress ol medical scienoa. The false
supposition that " Consumption is incurable " dote;red
physicians from attempting to find remedies for that
disease, and patients afflicted with it reoocdied themselves
to death without making an effort to escape from
a doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. It is
now proved, however, thst Consumption ran b? enrtd,
and that it Ka? been cured in a very great n amber of ;
cases (some of them apparently desperate ones) by
Scheuck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in other cases '
by the same medicine in connection with Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, accordi
to the requl-ementa of the case.
Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good
health for more than forty years, was supposed, at one
time, to be at the very gate of death, his physicians having
pronounced his care hopeless, and aoandoued him j
to his fate. He w?s enred by the aforesaid medicloea,
and, since his recovery, many thousands similarly affeot- >
ed bare used Dr. Schenck's preps: ations wltn the same
remarkable success
Fall directions accompany each, making it not absolutely
necessary to personally see Dr. Schenok unless 1
Catlenia wish their lungs examined, and for this purpose
e is professionally at his principal office, U^rner Sixth ,
and Arch Streets. Philadelphia, every Monday, when* |
all letters for advice mast be addressed.
Schenck's tucdJciuee are sold by all druggists.
