Patrick Currnn has boen in jail nt Villinnuport, for sotting firo to tho woods in Gamblo Township, Lycom ing county. Currnn was stricken with imrnlysirt nml sinco then nt times ho tins been out of his mind. During his fits of riving ho would cry, "Tnko him nwny. Why did I kill him 1 That is my secret. I will tell you nil sonio day." Sheriff Sprnguo visittd Currnn mid told him if ho had any thing to confess ho had better do it, bo enuso ho only had n short time to live. Curran said that ho wanted to mako his statement to n barrister. Tho Sher iff told him that there was ro need of n lawyer, and that ho would tnko his statement and it would bo all right, Curran commenced to talk to Sheriff Spragttc, but before ho had spoken five luinuics his tonguo had becomo swoll en and it was Tmpof&iblo for him to proceed. Tho Sheriff left tho cell, but before ho went away ho told Curran that if ho felt better in his abseuco ho could niakchis statement to one of the at' tendants. Lalo last Thursday night Cur called ono of his nurses to him mid said i "I iell better now nnd I will now mako my confession.'' Tho nurso procured tiapcr and ink and after ho had propped Curran up in tho bod pro ceeded to write tho confessioii which is substantially as follows : I was born in a small hamlet near tho city of Cork 81 years ago. In my youth I received a fair education, my parents being engaged in tho industry of cotton bleaching. Upon my fath er's death I spent what monoy was loft mu in gambling and drinking, nnd got into any number of scrapes but was not arrested. 1 joincU tho cnians and was leader of n number of men during the insurrection which was started by 'William Smith O'Brien. My boon companion was a young man by tho namo of Pat Martin and my acquaintanceship with him was my ruination. Martin and I got into a scrape, and that together with our con nection with tho Young Ireland party compelled us to llco tho country. Wo left Cork in disguisu and camo to America. After knocking about Ihcw York for somctimo we came to Penn sylvania and procured employment in the coal mines. Wo joined tho Mollio Macuires and wcro leaders in all of their conclaves. Tiring of this ns thcrd was not monoy enough in it for us, wo lett tho coal regions ana tramp ed to Howard, in Centre County, tvhoro wo heard thero wai a band of counterfeiters. Wu had learned tho art of counterfeiting in tho old country and determined to ioin this band and grow wealthy. At Howard a coldness sprang up between Martin and mo on account of a girl whom wo "wero both paying attention to. Wo had buried our monoy in an old barn on the out skirls of the town and ono night in tho early part of 18G3 wo went thero to divide tho spoils. Martin was very ugly and we quarreled. Ho hit mo and then wo camo to blows. Ho threatened to blow on mo and for my own protection I drew my knifo from my pocket and killed linn. Reeling that my crime would bo discovered, I dug a holo in tho corner of tho barn and buried tho body. I covered tho spot with a bundlo of ryo straw and set it on fire. As soon as tho barn was a blaze I made my cscapo and come to Williamsport and havo never seen tho tho place where I committed tho crimo since. This is my secret I have kept lor tho last 22 years, and 1 feel ns it can't die until I confess. Curran killed Martin by cutting his throat. Ho is decrepit with old age, his hair is gray and his luce is covered with a shraggy beard. His body is swollen with paralysis and ho can hardly move. He chows tobacco con stantly nnd cries out for rum. His yells and oaths aro horifying, especial ly when tho delirium conies oa and he imagines that his victim, Martin, is glaring at him from tho corner of his cell. Mho physician pays that uurran is liaole to die at any moment. Take Oare of Your Animals. Live stock aro to bo our especial watch and caro (or thecoming4 months at least.

At this season, look especially to the comiort abloncss of their quarters, that they may bo easily cleaned, warm, and well- aired when needed. Alterations that will facilitato foddering, littering, and dealing out, should bo planned and carried out at once. Tight board wans, or any others, aro a much cheaper source of warmth than much feeding, so far ns neat cattle, horses in use, pigs, and poultry are concerned.

" What if it should skip a heat J" As a matter of fact tho heart is tho least msccptiblo to primary disease of nny of our vital organs. It is, how ever very much injured by certain long continued congestions of llio vital organs, like tho kidneys, liver and stomach. Moreover blood filled with ut ic acid produces a rheumatic tendency, and is very injurious to healthful heart action, it often proves fatal, ami of course, the uric ncid comes from imparled kidney action. Roberts, tho great English authority, says that heart disease is chiefly sec ondary to some moro fatal malady in the blood or other vital organs. That is, it is not the original sourco of tho fatal malady. Tho work of tho heart is to force blood inlo every part of tlio system. If the organs aro sound it is an easy task. If they aro at all diseased, it is a very, very hard task. Tako as an illustra tion : Tho kidneys aro very subject to conjestion and yet, being deficcnt in tho nerves of sensation, this conjested condition is not indicated by pain. It may exist for years, unknown even to physicians, and if it does not result in complcto destruction of tho kidneys, tho extra work which is forced upon tho heart weakens it evory year, and a "mysterious'' sudden death claims another victim ! This is tho true history of '-heart dis ease." so called which in reality is chiefly a secondary effect of Uright's dlseaso of tho kidneys, and indicates the universal need of that renowned specific Warner's safo cure. li. Y. Larra'jee, Esq., of Boston, who was by it so wonderfully cured of Uright's disease, in 1879, says that with its disappearanco went tho dis tressing heart disorder, which ho then discovered was only secondary to tho renal trouble. Thero is a general impression that tho medical profession is not at fault if it frankly admits that heart discaso is tho causo of death. In other words, a euro of heart diseasu is not expected of them ! Thero may bo no help for a broken down, worn out, apoplectic heart, hut mere is a help tor the kidney disorder which in most cases is responsible for the heart trouble, and if its uso put money and farao into tho treasury of tho profession instead of into tho hands of an independent investigator, every graduated doctor in tho world would oxclaim of it, as one, nobler and less proiudiced than his fellows, onco ex claimed : "It is a God-send to hum anity 1" What thercforo must bo tho public estimate of that bigotry and want of lrankness which forbids in such cases (because foresooth it is a proprietary article), tho uso of tho ono eiTcctivo remedial agency of tho ago T "iieart disease, "indeed I Why not call such things by their right names 1 Why not ? "Dead without a moment's warning." This likewise is an untruth ! Watn- incs aro civcn bv the thousand. Phy sicians aro "not surprised." They "ex pected it I 1 hoy know what tho end will bo, but tho victim 1 "oh no. he mustn't bo told, you know, it would only frighten him, for thero is no help you know, for it 1" The fato that attended "Littlo Mao" and tho five governors is not a royal and exclusive one it threatens every ono who fails to heed tho warnings of nature as sei tortn anovo. Oonfedorate Appointees. Tho attention of Governor Porter, Assistant Secretary of State, was call ed to tho statement mado by Mr. S. V. White, on taking tho chair at a Repub lican mass-meeting in Brooklyn recent ly that of the diplomatic appointments mado by tho present administration 80 had borno arms during the late war, but that only ono out of that number had fought on tho Union sido in tho contest. "That is not so," roplied Governor Porter. "In making tho appointments the fact whether those selected fought in eitner army is not taken into con sideration, and consequently no record is kept of it. But from my personal knowledgo of tho men who havo been appointed, I know that thoso figures aro not correct. Thero has always ex isted a wrong impression about the number of Confederates appointed through this department. Tho sur prisingly few appointments of this kind as compared with tho cencrallv sun- possed number has frequently been a smijeci ot comment nero in my onice, When Lawton and Jackson were npi pointed simultaneously early in tlio ad ministration the cry went up, 'tho Com federates aro to havo everything,' and a good many people hayo never been disabused ot that idea. Governor Porter then picked up an official list of all tho diplomatic and consular appointments mado by tlio present Administration, numheriug 120, and checked off thu names of those whom ho either knew to havo ueen in mo L-ontederato army or was satisfied belonging to it from their place of residence and their age.

A neighbor told mo tho other tiny that last Fall ho bought ono hundred and fifty sheep, fed them straw, hay, corn stalks, nnd grain, all Winter, and sold them for forty-llvo dollars ninro than hu paid for them. "I got a lot f good manure," ho said, "ami that and tho forty-livo dollars is ail I have to show for tho iced and labor. It does not pay." If win ran buy .1k.i in tho Full for tliicu ei'i,l n p in, (I, it will p;iy. It will pay still lifttir in buy thuin fur four ten's, nml noil them fur eight cunts per pound. Weoin sometiuits do even better than thi. Ono thintr U certain! it does nut pay to try to fatten poor shetp in Winter. If sheep are not iu good growing condition iu tlio Fall, get rid of them. If on aro going to bay sin op to fatten, select tho very best that fan bo found. You do not want old sheep, and you do not want lamb. If the sheep aio lone-wool, or Southdown grades, select thi.se that ato yeai lines, or two-yeat'-oldsj it merino gratles,thtii year-old wolheis aro best. I'uy moro than yon want, if netd be, anil select out tho best to keep over Winter, and sell tho poor onci no.v for what you can got. Careful selection is the main point. With good sheep, liberal and regu lar feeding, dry, comfortable quarters, fresh water every -lay, and salt onco a week, fattening sheep in Winter is de cidedly profitable to tho farmer and beneficial to tho farm. In oilier words, it will provido both monoy and manure. Joscpii IIauuis in American Agricul turist for November. How Marjy Eggs Will a Hen Lay ? Wo often road of hens that lay 200 eggs a year, Bays tho Jarm and Gard en, but such statements do moro harm than good, by inducing tlio inexper ienced to beliuvo such to bo fact. Any ono who is familiar at all with poultry knows that during tho fall all hens un dergo tho process of moulting or shed ding of feathers. This requires usual ly about threo months, or ono hundred days. As thero aro only 305 days in a year, wo havo 203 left alter deduct ing tlio moulting period. If a lion lays regularly an egg every other day slio will lay 133 eggs; but sho will probab ly loose threo mouths in hatching out her broods ; oven if sho is a non-sitter sho will tako a resting-place. As molt ing is a heavy drain on tho system, but fow bens lay during that process, though thero aro exceptions, and where tlio number of eggs exceed ono every two days, it will bo found that a cor responding reduction occurs during some portion of tlio year. Whilo wo admit that certain individual hens havo been known to lay as many as 130 to even 17.J eggs in a year, sucli cases aro rare ; and if ono has a ilock of twenty hens or moro ho should bo satisfied if thero is an average of ono hundrdo eggs a year for each ono of tho wliolo flock, or rather nino dozen. Four dozen out of tho nino should realize thirty cents per dozen, threo do.en should bring about twenty cents per dozen, and two dozen should lealizo fifteen cents per dozen, or an average of about twenty-throo cents. Ot course this catenation may bo wrong, but it will convey an idea of what may bo expect ed. IMttliiK CiiIiIkikch fur tile 'Winter. In the usiinl way of keeping cabbage ia winter, there is a considerable loss by freez ing nnd decay. In attempting to nvoid this wnstc, we have tried with success the method of pitting hero described, A long pit, three feet deep, nnd a littlo wider (it may bo mndo its wide ns desirable), wns dug out on n part of the field where the soil was dry nnd sandy, nnd thero was no danger that water would enter. The bot tom of the pit was loosened up, so that tho first tier of cabbages wero planted in it, tho stems being set so deep that thu heads rest ed on the soil. The cabbages of tho next tier were set alternately between the lower ones, buying tho roots partly In the soil. A third tier was placed on the second, but reversed, with the roots upwards. All the soft heads wero put at the top. Straw was laid between the stems, leavinc tho roots out, and enrth wns thrown upon tho straw, burying tbo roots three or four inches. In pulling cabbages, tho roots were all taUen up with them, and out off. A covering of boards was laid on tbo pit, to shed rain. In tlio spring tlicso cabbages came out in tho best condition j the soft heads had fill ed up, nnd none of the cabbages had been frozen. Tho pit was filled with selected cabbages, with tho intention of keeping them for tlio spring. The same plan has been tried for several years, and always with satisfaction. Neighboring farmers have adopted it, and continue to uso it in preference to any other method. Irom'can Agriculturist for JYoronocr. J. II.
