In the battle of Ohicamauga there were 107,000 men engagod with a resultant. loss of 83,655, being 31.45 per cent of the forces engaged. In the four battles between the Unionists and Confederates in the Civil war, Antietam, Chica uaaugaj Gettysburg and Shilo, the contending armies repre sented 460,000 fighting men and the total losses footed up 124,014, a loss of nearly 27 per cent of the troops engaged.

We are jumping pith a lively spring when we reach the conclusion that the battles now going on in the Orient are being fought with greater desperation than those of the Civil war. FAMINE IN IRELAND Again wprd comes from Ire land that the people are starv ing. . A short rpotatoe crop in that f island means death to thousands, and the last crop was short. . ' Seven yesrs ago the suffering among the Irish people for want of food was terrible. Old people remember the great Irish famine of 1845-6-7 in which 1, 250,000 people miserably per ished of starvation because of the successive failure of the potatoe crop. While Irish people in all countries but in home island were rejoicing in St. Patriot's' Day, there the dread shadow of another famine darkens the land. Ireland has la mild climate and fertile soil, yet no part . of the civilized world has to suffered for food within recent years. Wheat, cats, barley, beans and peas grow there but by a strange fatality the Irish farmer place his chief reliance for food upon' potatoes and when that crop fails there is death . from starvation . The 244,451 acres of wheat grown in Ireland , produced 4,- 475,512 bushels of wheat in 1871 an average of 18 bushels per acre. Ireland seems to need a re vival in Farmer's Institute work. The rain last evening has in creased the wealth of this valley many thousand dollars. More will follow and there will be a still greater increase. The climate in this valley can always be depended upon. It is folly to worry about the weather in this county because .the right thing is sure to happen at the right time.
