Crooger's wounds were dressed by Dr. Le1vis of Elba. A HE£NOUS ASSAULT. A seventeen year old girl named Libbie Plock,. appeared before Jus- tice Crosby tbis 'lllOintllg atl.d com- plained that she had been out- rageously assanlted by two men about 8:30 o'clock Tuesday evening. The girl's stoxy is that she lla.s been employed for some time at the Eu- roJ;ean Hotel, and that on the eve- ning of the alleged assault she had gone out oftbe back entrance of the hotel, int~nding to pay a visit to some of the girls em:ployeo at the Hooper House. There are nu m- erous sheds amd barns back of the buildings, by which she was ob- liged to pass. As she waa going by one ot these :she<ls 11 man whom she recognized as W m. Demmer spoke to another who w11..s not known to her, saying, \Here she is,\ and without ceremony she. was seized and taken into the.shed, tile stranger accomplishing his purpose, while Demmer held tne door. A second assault upon her person, she olaims, was made by Denu:ner. She told her parents of the affair and tlley went before the District Attorney last eve- ning, the glrl s-wearing to the al- leged facts upon whicb the warrant is based. Warrants for t'be arrest of lhe men charged with this dastardly crime have been placed in the hands of Office! lo'ox and it is probable that before the NK:ws is issued tlley will have been arrested. It is asserted that the girl has been indiscreet.

The Springfield Republican says: \He was a loveable old man, one of the best specimens of the rugged New England farmer, and is faithfully sketched bv Mr. Thompson, whose love for him has grown from boy· hood and inspired the dram.atization.

Stevens' suo • The Bergen cornet band, assisted by home and foreign i.,llent, is to g1\e a ~rand concer,l· in Conce:rt hall nr Xl S~.turday evening The B~tavia Farn:>-ers' Clnb having become mterested Hl the subject o'f ensilage, made an arrangement to visit the silo of Hon. R. S. Stevens of Attica, to investigate the process of preparing the feed. Mr. Stevens has .the only. silo in this vicinity, it havmg been m successful operati<>u from the first of November last. About two years ago he bought his farm of 150 acres, one mile north- east of the village of Attica, forninety dollars per acre, upon which he has erected extensive barns and other outbuildings at a cost, I should think, of at least $15,000. His silo consists of a substantial stone and frame building·, about t8x30 feet, The pit or ~ilo is divided by a wall, thus forming two pits in which to deposit the green forage as soon as cut. It is packed and pressed down with jack screws o:r other powerf~l mechanical appliances in order to exclude the air and preserve it in a green and Jresh state. Mr. Stevens bas a Baxter engine of sufficieDt power to drive his Cumming's poVI- er feed cutter. also a threshing ma- chine and separator. The cut lor- age put in last season remains fresh and sweet and the stock eat it with great apparent rel;sh. .Mr. SteveDs commenced leeding it ~!.bout the first of November last, giving most of his !!tack one feed tach da.y, about one cubic foot of the solid mass making a bushel, to e<1ch ani- mal-tlsing in connection with it a little meal and mill feed. Three of the cows have had notnmg to eat since the first of November last ex- I cept tbe product of the silo. l\1r. 1 Stevens has a fine herd of pure l blooded Holstein cattle most of tbem imported, silt just out of quar- anline. Among them j he has a splendid two year old Holstein bull which turns the scale at a,ooo lbs. He has forty-three animals in all, some of which a.re Ayrshire and Grades. He has deven horse~ a.nd colts mostly of good Llood, also a. young Clyde stallion weighing over x,Soo pounds and a pen of Berk- shire pigs. All the forage and most of the grain fed to the stock, is m..is- ed on the fotrm. The s!ables are kept in splendid condition, all the bedding which is ample being cut stravr and chaff. Swamp muck:. is placed in the gutters behind the cows to absorb all the liquid drop- pings, so that very little manure is wasted. If he had a cover over bis Qlanure pile, his system would be perfect. Our party consisting of about fifteen, mostly members ot the Batavia Farmers Club, were tnet by Mr. Smith (in Mr. Stevens ab- se.nce) at the N. Y. C. R. R. depot w1th teams and conveyed to the farm. After a thorough and highly satisfactory examination of the build- ings and stock, they returned to the Wyoming Hotel where they all par- took of a bountiful and free dinner. After a. few remarks by some meDl- bers of the party, expressing tneir gratification at the visit and tneir cordial thanks to Mr. Stevens and his people for their entertainment, the party adjourned and took the 4 :4.) train for home, highly pleased witt! their trip and feeling satisfied that the svstem of ensilage is not only possible but profitable. Mr. Stev- ens is entitled to the gratitude of the farmers and stock growers of Western NewYork, for his mtelligent and successful exptriment, and the village of Attica is to be congratulat- ed on having for a citizen, one w·h() has tile means and enterprise to carry lo a successful conclusion, a valua.ble experiment in stock feed- I ~~ R .
