THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. EARLY EXECUTIONS. There; is something hi the very lilirajo 'burnt at tho slaku" which lilts one with horror, nmi ihu llioiij;lit. that any woman would brnvoHtii-h ;i iluMh seems almost incredlblo. Tlio Mild of Or leans has doubtless been in tho minds of ninny poisons all over tho civilized world of lute, as well as in that of every Frenchman on account of tho monument recently erected in her honor in her beloved natrio. Hut, al though it seems absolutely barbarous to make such a suggestion if tho old records aro to bo credited, tills burning was by no means tho agonizing death it is generally supposed to have been. Indeed, in England it was looked upon as an easy death, and women wcro even burnt for tho samo crimes for which men aro hung,as being tho more humane manner of putting to death. Hut hero lies tho whole secret, the so samo old records show that tho con demned wcro invariably stranulod to death, or at least into a state of perfect unconsciousness beforo tho llamcs wcro allowed to touch them so that in realty it was simply tho dead body which was devoured by tho augry llamcs. In proof of this case is mentioned in an old English hook whero tho ex ccutioner was severely blamed becauso his hands becoming scorched, ho failed to pull the ropo fastened around tho neck of tho condemned hard enough to , III , t. .1 n . Kin ucr uniu niter mo names nati reached her and caused great agonyjn spito of tho efforts of thoso about her. Quito a detailed account is given of tho execution of a woman named Eleanor Elsom in tho "Lincoln Dalo Hook," who was condemned to death for ilie murder of her husband and or dercd to bo burned at tho stake. It read as follows : "Sho was saturated with tar, and her limbs wcro also smeared with tho same lnllamable nub stance, whilo a tarred bonnet had been placed ou her head. Sho was brought out of prison barefooted, and being put on a hurdle,was drawn on a sledge to ttio place ot execution near tho cal lows. Upon arrival some time was passed in prayer, after winch tho ex ecutioner placed her on a tar barrel a height of three feet, against tho stake. A ropo ran through a pulley in tho stake and was placed around her neck, sho herself fixing it with her hands." She was probably quito dead beforo the fire reached her, as tho executioner pulled upon tho ropo several times whilo tho irons were'.being fixed. Tho body was seen amid the names for nearly half an hour, though through tuo dryness ot the wood and tho quan tity of tar, the lire was exceedingly uerce. Huroincr at tho stako was, not so very long ago, used as a punishment ot heretics ot both sexes, or any per son accused of witchcraft. This mode of execution was kept up all during tho middle agcs.tlio hrst case on record being that of a man named Alban who was burned in tho year 304 A. D. Many persons were put to death for coining, which was up to lato date, re carded as an offense meriting death, the latest case on record of burning at tho stako for this crimo being that of a woman named Utmstinii Alurphy, alias Bowman, who was burned on March 18, 1780. The last case of burning opposite .Newgate was in IyH'i, when a woman was hanged on a low scaffold, and af ter lifo was extinct tho Gro was lighted below her and the body was burnt to ashes. Gcorgo III. put a stop to this bar parous method of execution and pro vidcd that after Juno .1, 1700 women should bo hung as well as men. Still more tlrcndful than burning at uie stake was tho horriblo idea of boil ing ppopio to death, whicli was at one timo a legal punishment for the crimo of poisoning, tho law putting it in ef- t . 1 ' " . . 1 TUT . il'ul ueing passed oy iionry vni. in 1531. Ono of tho few cases recorded was that of a cook in tho diocesn of tho bishop of Ilochester, named Rich ard noose, 'this man had put poison in food, causing the death of two per sons and tho serious illness of others, and tho sentenco was passed on him that ho should bo boiled to death with out any benefit of tho clercy, which meant without any mitigation of tho senienco such as was commonly accord ed to thoso in anv wav connected with tlio clergy, so that ho piobably really ion ttio tnghttul aconies of being boil cd. Tho next person of whom wo hear as meeting this hideous death was a woman, a servant, who had poisoned three families with whom she had hv ed. In tho chronielo of tho Groy friars, mention is mado of a man who was made fast to a chain and let down into boiling water until ho was dead. Tho expenses attendant on tho parboiling and hanging of Friar Stonoin 1C30 aro curious. Tho execution came off at Canterbury, and tho following wero tho details of tho expenses : "For a ton of timbor to mako a pair of gallows for to hang Friar Stone, two shillings six pnnco ; to a carppnter for making tho gallows and the dray, ono shilling four pence ; to a laborer that dug the holes, three penco ; expenses setting up mo same, ono shilling j tor n load of wood and for a horso to draw him to a dungeon, two -hillings three pence; paid two men thbc sat at tho kettle and parboiled him, ono shilling ; to tnreo men that carried his qnarters to tho gates and set them up.ono shilling'; lor natters, sandwiuh, cord and scrows, ono shilling; for a woman that scoured tlio kettle, two penro ; to him that did the execution, three shillings threepence loiai. iourtcn shillings eight penco. uis punishment was not uncommon oither in England or on tho continent, for coining and Uie law permitting it was not repealed until tho time of lid ward VI., in IS 17. Cases whero persons wero dism bowled wero not infrequent, but the sentenco was generally mitigated, and as in tho caso of burning at tho stake, tho condemned wero first strangled, Mention is mado in an old hook of a man being pressed to death, but no in stanco can bo given of this dreadful modo ot killing, tho very idea of which is enough to givo anyone of modorate )y strong nerves tho nightmare for a week. It is claimed that death by drown ing is the cts'ust, but wo doubt if the idea of being sewed up in a sack and thrown into tho water would be agreo able to any one, yet such was at ono timo tho not unmerited doom of parri cides, but still inoro rovolting is the idea of being put under herdles into bogs or ferns, which was the fato re served for the meaner criminals at one peilod iu Germany, whilo tho greatrr malefactois was reserved the infinitely preferable death of hanging. Tho Anglo-Saxons had all women who wero convicted of stealing drowned, and King Richard tho Lion Hearted mado that tho legal punish ment for a soldier who killed a fellow crusader. Criminals wero drowned in England until tho early part of the seventeenth century, and in Edinburgh, FoollanJ, a man was drowned aa lato ta 1011 "lor tho stealing of a Iamb." In other parts of Scotland tho custom was prevalent until luso. It would seem that as civilization ad-, yaticcs executions aro being not only much less painful, but arc, in many cases, altogether disappearing. Strango to say, many noblemen of our day bo longing to old families, who still own tho leiidal castles ot their ancestors, point with a kind of prldo to tho soul rovolting instruments of torture used by their forefathers instruments that ono would Imagino to 1111 them with shame for tho barbarians who cm ployed thorn. Hut lifo is a jnizzlo at tho best. S. Louh l'osl-Dispatch, Ureon Manuring. Hy tho term green manuring, says tho American Agriculturist, is meant tho practico ot growing and plowing under crops in the green state, to en rich tlio soil. A soil is said to lie pro ductive in proportion to tho amount of humus it contains. Humus is formed by tho decomposition of animal and vegetable matter. If a heavy growth of vegetation, grain, clover or weeds is plowed under, a certain amount of plant food is returned to tlio soil. It would bo very natural to Biipposo that tho decayed stem of ono plant would contain pood, acceptable food for an other. If plowing under lias been done on a clay soil, six months after wards, by digging down through tho furrow, a dark" stratum will bo found where tho weeds fell and rotted. Re peated plowing under of green crops will fill tho ground with humus, and re storo tho worst worn land lo fertility. Ouo objection to this method of fer tilizing is tho length of timo nquired as several yeari, must elapso beforo many crops could be added to tho soil. It is very important, then to adopt tho rotation that -will admit of tlio greatest number of crops in tho shortest time. Somo plants add more fertility to tho oil than others, but these aro not al ways tho ones that aro easiest grown, and it is very important to get a good growth to plow under. Ryo will grow whero no other grain will, and yield a fair crop. Another advanta"e is its growth in winter. In tho latitude of Southern Illinois, ryo may bo sown in November and plowed under when fully headed out in May, and tho ground sowed immediately with South ern cow peas and plowed under iti July or August. Another sowing of peas will mako a partial crop by tho first frost, when it can bo turned under and tlio ground again seeded to rye. This makes three crops plowed under in ono year. Tribune & Farmer. Didn't Favor a Halfway Job. A gentleman had occasion to scud his little daughter up to tho garret for somo article he wanted. Tim child soon returned crying; and upon being asked what tho trouble was, replied, "that the snow had sifted in upon tlio garret stairs and sho had slipped down and hurt herself." "Well, did you get what 1 told you t" inquired ttio father. Sho replied that bIio had not. "Well then," ho exclaimed, starting up. "I'll go; I guess I ain't afraid of a littlo snow." After ho had gone tho child obsericd that she hoped papa would fall just a littlo for laughing at her. Soon afterwards a distant bumping and rolling was heard, accompanied with tho sound of suppressed wrath. The family listened with awakened in terest, but tho object of ilieir solicitude was heard uboe whispering quite bo berly as though nothing had hap pened. IIo crossed two rooms abovo and as ho approached tlio top of tho stairs, thuudered oul: "Open tho chamber door ! Next you know, you'll have me tumblo down hero and break my neck. It's so daik now " but tho sentence was never finished. Trip went his heels and rolling, thumping and swearing ho sprawled his six feet of length upon tlio kitchen floor, where ho was greeted with bursis of merriment from tlio collected fam ily. IIo lay quito still for a moment, and then shouted out: "Open tho cellar door; I may as well put her through, clear to tho bottom." Tell Tour Pastor. Tell your pastor when his serviecs have been a bles3ing to yon. His words may havo convicted you of sin, warned you of somo lurking danger, guided you in perplexity, comforted vou in sorrow, elevated your groveling desires, and brought the very lifo of God to your soul. Whatever good his words may havo conferred upon you, mako it known to your paBtor. The knowledge will comfort and en courage him. IIo has many discour agements in his work. Among these is tho reticence of ids pooplo respecting their appreciation of his services or of tho blessing which, in whatever form, may havo come through his words to their souls. There is no danger of prido being engendered in his heart by your cheering words, ns it is sora-timcs imagined might bo tlio caso by superficial thinkers. Grati tude, praise, joy are inoro likely to fill his heart and burst from his lips. Ho sides, you owo it to your paitor to tell him how you havo been benefited by and through him. It is part of tho reward allowed him by God for his work. It is only following in tlio foot steps of tho good in all ages, and the examplo is given by God himself, who will say to each faithful servant, "Well dono!" Do not let your pastor, then, bo discouraged through your failuro to inform him of his agency in your spir itual good. Tell your pastor.

J., read n paper on tho subject of "Sum mer Pruning,'' beforo tlio last conven tion of tho American Horticultural So ciety, nn abstract of which wo givo herewith. As tho vines awaken from their winter sleep in tho spring, nnd tho buds begin to swell, it will bo ob served that two buds often appear from what seemed but ono in n dor mant slate. Tho first and simplest operation in summer pruning, is to tub oil ono of tlitso and nil superfluous ones wherever and whenoNor they ap pear. A simple touch ot tho linger will do it. Tlio weakest and generally tho lowest ono has to go. It tho buds fiom "any cause start feebly, tho sooner this is dono tho bet tor for thoso that remain. In cases where they start strong and vigorous. ly, however, it is well to defer their removal until tlio embryo clusters havo appeared. If these shoots liaio grown a foot or a foot and n half, no matter. Tho check to tho vino will bo tho greater and their removal none tho less demanded Tbo remaining shoots aro pinched off at ono or two leaves be yond tho last cluster of fruit, and the laterals aro stopped in tlio samo way as recommended for tho young vine, to ono leaf. Thoso bearinc cones and laterals, after recovering from the check thus n T i r t. !.. given, will soon ukiku h ipww muit m wood makincr, and tho pinching pro cess is to bo repeated ns before, hav ing an additional leaf each lime. Tho effect of tliis treatment is to retard tho sap and retain it whero it is needed for tho full development o: buds, leaves and fruit. The leaves remaining in crease in sizo much beyond their nor mal proportions, and a strong, vigor ous leaf of this kind is inot capable of resisting tho attack of mildew. lhe larger tho leaf area next to the fruit, tho larger and finer tho fruit will be. This pinching process nlsa results in full, nlumn and well-developed buds on the canes to bo left for tlio next year's frnitniEr. Vines, winch aro allowed to grow at random and lake earo of them selves, seldom fruit, purely from lack of development. Tho sap, being allow ed to pursue its natural course unmo lested, has no time to stop and pay proper attention to' these buds. The short spur system depends absolutely for success on this summer pruning. Mr. Williams cited tho caso ot a very successful amateur who has vines ten years old treated on this system, some of tho spurs on which aro not over ono and a half inches long, so short in somo cases that tho base bud seems to start almost out of tho old wood, and yet this bud will give as good fruit and as largo cluster as any, and docs so year after year. It is simply duo to this full development resulting from summer pruning. A Tale of a Oyclonn. Wo wero riding along on the bound ing train yesterday, and somo ono spoko of thu freo and democratio way that people in this country cot ac quainted witli each other whilo travel ing. Then wo got to talking about railway sociability and railway eti quette, and from that wo got to talk ing about natural phenomena and storms. I spoko of tho cyclono with somo feeling nnd a littlo bitterness, perhaps, briefly telhne my own experi ence, and making the storm as loud and wet and violent as possible. Then a gentleman from western Minnesota, a man who went thern in an early day and homcstcaded it when his nearest neighbor was fifty miles away, spoke eif a cyclono that" visited his county beforo the telegraph or rail road had penetrated that part of tho state. IIo said it was very clear up to tho moment that ho noticed a cloud in tho northwest no larger than a man's hand. It sauntered down in a south wcterly direction like a cyclone that had all summer to do its chores in. Then it gave two quick snorts and a roar, wiped out all tho farm buildings lie had, sucked tlio well dry, poured all the milk in the milk house, and spread desolation all over that quarter-section. Hut tho narrator said that tho most re markablo thing ho remembered was this : IIo had dug about a pint of anglo worms that morning intending to go over to tho lako toward evening and catch a few perch. Hut when tlio cyclono camo it picked up those angle worms and drovo them head first through his new grindstono without injuring tlio worms or impairing the grindstone. Ho would havo had tho crinelstono photographed, ho said, if tho angle worms could havo been kept Btill long enough. Ho said that they wcro driven just far enough through to hang on tlio oilier side like a 1am breejtiin, It is such circumstances as these com ing to us from tho mouths of oye-wit-nesses, that led us to exclaim ; How prolific is nature and how wonderful aro all her works including poor, weak man 1 Man, who comes into the world clothed in a littlo brief authority, perhaps, and nothing else to speak of.

Tho End of tho ' Oneida Oominunity." Tho notorious Oneida community seems to havo been pretty well broken up. Its founder, J. II. Noyes, is dead; tho majority of tho members have mariied; tlio rest havo abandoned "multiple marriage,'" in accordauco with the pledge given to the publio of that region tsomo veaiu aco. Even ,1)10 peculiar faith and tlio property ar rangements ot tho community havo been abandoned by the majority; and nothing now remains but an Oneida joint Block company, which carries on tho various kinds of business by which tho community supported it self. Tho truth is that the community was doomed as soon as tho agitation against its practices had driven Noyes to flight into Canada. As ho himself admits in his "American Soejialism," ono of tho lii'dt conditions of oommuii ity success is to havo a master whoso will is law. Ho was tho master, ami when ho was too fur away to rule, l ho elements of revolt proved loo strong for tho mere tradition of his inlluenco, Ho left no one competent to tako his place, as bis methods had rather re pressed than fostered tho kind of abil ity required in a leader. insects havo an aversion to tlio odor or smell of the red cellar.
