In Dakota about eleven bushels to the acro have-been-liarveetecl. Tho returns in. both cases are snialler than in pre- vious years, owing to the dryness of the season. But in Manitoba there is less. damaged wheat- --t11an_.. there, _was last year, and the entire crop is of superior quality. -AntoniarGuiswald, a= wealthy.Italian of Williamsburg, was arrested at New York 'Monday, on a charge of enticing young girls into his apartments for iiia• moral purposes. Two ten/ear-old gids found undressed -in his rooms, confessed that Guiswald had assaulted them, •and said that belied recently debauched ten others All were trader 'r6 years of age. Whilst two boys,'sons of Thomas Mc- Donald, fisherman of Point' Ann, near Belleville,r oer'e &Mug home with aload of empty ,,fish barrels, on Wednesday af- ternoon, the younger, Herbort,aged ten, got into a barrel to protect himself from the cold. The barrel jilted off the wag- gon and fell against the horses, which ran away; When the boy was •picked up, it'was found that he was. dead, Charles Laughlin, of Philidelphia,hacl $8,200 stolen .from him. A" neighbor- ing woman dreamed that. it was hidden away in a-haryloft, and--she=elinabed up - and found all 'but $1,000 ;ina bender chief. She was at once,arrested fornot dreaming where the:balance was, and a search of,lier house brought the missing 'sum to•light. An extraordinary windfall happened near Hayward, .Wis. ' An area half a mile wide and six miles long ;vas "swept by a' cyclone, and all the trees within that space were crushed and felled tc• the ground. Norway pines, two feet - through and eet;throughand perfectly sound, were bro- ken off at about ten• and twenty feet from the ground. It is •estimated that 8,000,000 feet of pine. was levelled by the storm. The family of •C, W. Messenger, of Mayville, Mo., hada a lively time of it the•other night. They 'were all awak- ened by a 'fearful clatter .inthe cellar.. Oneof the boys mustered courageerre ugh • to start on a torr of investigation, but his mother would not Tet him de; and all of.;thetu.remained awake while; the. in went'on. In the morning the 'cellar was invaded, and there was a 300 pound ]ion discovered•gloriously •drunk•'on' the con- tents of a broken demioho. •Fie had:a swelled. head .for .several days after- wards.

A Chinaman, on his wily froi'ri Lewis= ton to China, carrying the bones of his brother carefully packed • in a valise, _ stopped ac Portland, Ore., for a day or two, to visit friends.. On his way to the steamer the ?aline was 'stolen, and the gfief and indignation of•the pious Cshina- man were intense. Ho was about to offer a reward of $100 for the recovery of the bones, but bis wiser friend•. said it was not worth. while, for the thief would certainly drop the valise as soon as its contents were known.

The invention of a system ° by which ibls.possiblo_to transmit a telegraphic message to or from the moving-ttain,has contrary -to expectation, not been lot - dewed by the general introductiari of the process into common use. As, theore- tically at'least, the power of communi eatingwith a moving train at any time, appears to be a,valuable one, this fact is somewhat remarkable. By a recent in- 'vontion the 'system has been still further • improved, so that it will not be necessary to put tip special wirea which can bo used for no other purpose than •cowmunieat. ing with trains, so that the expense ,of the system is minimized. Whether valuable to f'ailway arnauagers: or not, there can b no doubt that to businessmen the abilit to keep touch -through the telegraph wi with their business, no matter -how fa or how fest they were travelling, would be a valuable one.

The 'Care of Horses. The trausition from the moderate weath- er of the fell wombs to that of winter im- poses a.much larger amount of care upon the farmer in looking after the comfort of bis flocks.. Of ;these the horse is more. likely Co be affected by° alternate changes from heat and cold than almost any other: a1-Jima1. He is driven in all kinds of weather, and often• left hitched, exposed to wind and ,rain, without shelter for long petiole. A stable, a good;bed'and a comfortable blanket'are among'the most important requisities next to regular feed- ing, to.seeure good health to that most faithful lint most abused horse.'
