A Ua "CONVICTS RELEASED. v Mennessee Stockades Burned and 350 Felons Freed. The Prison Guards Overwhelmed by a Mob of Miners. The Tennessee conviots employed in the ‘mines of the Tennessee Mining Company and the Knoxville Iron Company, at Briceville and Coal Creek, were liberated a few nights ago by the free miners, and the stockades in which the were confined burned to the ground. The guards in charge of the stoockades saw that the free miners were in overwhelmning force and made no show of resistance, so that the raid wasnot attended with fighting or bloodshed. Not the least hint Briceville or Coal intended any a ter the courts convicts were had been received at Creek that the miners movement, Af. had decided that the lease of the convicts was legal and the State authorities announced that the law would be upheld at all hazards, the Miners Comunittee, which had represented the dis. satisfied elements since the July outbreaks and which bad pledged their words that there would be no resort to violence, called a meeting of the miners, gave a full account of what bad been done and disbanded, They urged the miners to refrain from violence and accept the decree of the courts, depending on their power at the polls to cor rect the evil. This advice was taken, ap- parently in good part, The first intimation that there was any. thing out of ymmon going on in the mining region came when it was discovered that the telegraph wires between Coal Cresk and Offatts station and between Offutts and Ciinton had been cut Shortly afterward a series of signal fires were seen in various places among the mountains, Hardly had the signal fires been lighted when the miners began to gatber at Briceville, They came in little parties from all the surrounding hamlet and settlements, Every man had his rifi and many were armed with revolvers in ad- dition { Within an hour full had gathered was made on ee Mining ( [ETeSsIVD RET i the « thousand men 1 the advance ‘owapany at ade was react » heavy of the rate w flew a stocka hi shots, | BO Hus breact to th o the ioters rushed in and in a fe m'nutes the st was in wr hands.

Then the stockade was fired and destrovel. After the destruction of the stockade an attack was made by the liberated convicts on the company store, which is run by Cap- tain Chumiey, formerly superintmdent of convicts. There was about $1000 worth of goods in the store, consisting of a general stock, The convicts took as much of this as they could aud destroyed the balance, The total number of convicts released was 850, Of these 141 were at Briceville and 200 at Coal Creek, Trainmen who passed tarough the coal regions next day say that they saw large numbers of convicts making their way towards the Kentucky line, They marched along the roads in small parties openly, and do not appear to be in fear of being arrested, Nothing was done looking to the rearrest of the liberated men beyond notifying the Kentucky and North Carolina authorities of their escape and requesting them to be on the lookout for them, Governor Buchanan, of Tennessee, has offered a reward of $5000 for the arrest and conviction of the Briceville mob. More Convicts Freed, : The Tennessee mountaineers have fulfilled their threats. The last convict is gone from the Waldern's Range region. The stock. ades are destroyed, After freeing the con viets at Briceville and Coal Creek, the mob of miners marched to the convict stockade atthe Big Mountain mine, five miles north of Oliver Springs. There were 165 convicts confined there, all of whom were liberated. Thus all the Tennessee stockades are dis mantied or burned, and more than 450 des. radoes roam the mountains and valleys of theastern Tennessee and Kentucky, A B800RE KILLED, Horritying Accident at the Big Ana conta Mine, The worst mining accident of the year took place at the Anaconda mine Butte City, | Montana, a few moral when nine | ya sp, | wells Island, New York City, from alcohol teens miners were killed on a cage coming Wine had just come up Nl of miners ’ . | ag oth leaving work, aod nineteen started to | descend in 18.

WINTERING SHEEP. The question that every flockmaster should ask himself at this season is whether all his sheep will pay for win- tering.

In experiments made at the Ind station to find the form of t adapted to wheat, and WAS any advantage is actional ap tions of the different forms, nitrogen was applied to every alternate plat, each piat that received nitrogen was com pared with a plat on each side of it that received no nitrogen. The plats were forty-nine feet four inches by four feet. In all the same amount of nitrogen applied to each plat receiving nitrogen. On certain plats the nitrogen was all applied in the fall, on othems one-half was applied in the fall and one-half at the opening of spring, and on others one-third in the fall, one-third April 15 and one-third May 18, when the heads were just appearing. The results showed { nitroger urther, if was that in no case was any marked advan- | tage derived from fractional applications, | while io the case of the ammonia com. pounds a decided advantage arose from making the full application in the fall, Nitrate of soda gave a gaia of 95.4 per cont, of grain and 105.5 per cent. of straw. Sulphate of ammonia gave a gain of 64.6 per cont. of grain and 73.8 per cent. of straw, while dried blood gave a gain of 54.4 per cent. of grain and 6.60 per cent. of straw. From the fact that the applications of nitrate in one lot in the fall gave as good results as those in three fractions, it is inferred | that there is really not so much daager of loss of nitrates as many suthorities would lead us to believe.—New York World, A SYMPOSIUM OX DERORNING, The Orange County Farmer has made up a symposium of notes about the effects of dehorning cows. A writer in the Jer- sey Bulletin is fully persuaded that a mooley bull can kill a man as easily as a horned one, the only advantage in his favor being that he will not so badly disfigure the corpse. Does he think the Spaniards would enjoy o bull fight with the horns sawed off! That the mooley bull or cow can hit a hard blow with their heads is true, but as to being dan- gerous when any ressonabls amount of caution is used, we cannot see it. Again, an Eoglish suthority says the highest Euglish courts have unanimously de- clared dehoraing to be cruel and iliegnl. The Scotch judges affirm that no cruelty need be involved. Again, a Connec. ticut farmer while crossing a pasture wont out of his way to pat a “gentle” bull as had been his amiable but indiscreet cus. y and pushed him down the hill, the grass frosted. Wea both of them —— of the opinion that in ten years from now, or perhaps less, a herd of cattle with horns will be as hard to find as a herd of mooleys has been in the past, The practice of dehorning is growing in favor, and he has yet to find the man who has dehorned a herd who is not pleased with the results, and Mr. Brown might have added further that such a man is not only pleased, but continues to practice it, { From the New York Z'ribune still an. { other item is taken to the effect that hav. {ing referred to the peacefulness | sociability of polled cattle he says: But | put one horned cow into the pasture with the polls and she spoils it all.

The Seychellas Islands, which are sup- posed by many to be the site of the Eden of the Old Testament history, form an archipsiago of 114 islands, and are situated about 1400 miles east of Aden, and 1000 miles from Zanzibar. They rise steeply out of the sea, culminating in the Isle of Mahe, which is about 3000 feef above the level of the ocean, and is nearly the centre of the group. All these islands are of coral growth, The beaches which surround them are the most beautiful in the world, and are of white calcercous sands inclosed in coral reefs of the most subtile and varied structure. The reels form a sort of wall sround the island, and when the sun's rays fall slanting on the sands the shore reflects here and there light tinted rainbows of the most exquisite shades, The houses are built of a species of massive coral hewn into square blocks, which glisten like white marble and show themselves to the utmost advantage in the various tinted green of the thick tropical palms, whose immonse fern-like leaves give pleasant and much needed shade. The palms grow as high as 100 feet and more, overtopping both the houses and the coral-built church.
