a tank about sixteen feet long, and
between fonr and five f>et broad, by
tliree feet deep, which he stocked with
fish but they did not breed. I suggested
to him that gold flsh were verv fus) of

wanted to breed fish he must have the
means of separating the old from the
young. I also advised him to stretch
across the tank a partition of wire-work,

large fish from pushing through, at tin
some time giving tlie voting fry an
opportunity of getting into a secure

SEASONABLE HINTS ANORR SWINE. —It
is said that the hogs which have breui
marketed during the recent packing
season were of better quality than those
of any former season. Farmers are be
ginning to pay more attention to the
feeding and management of swine, but
there is still room for improvements in
the selection of the most improved
breeding animals, the construction of
pens and the preparation of food. Suf
ficient attention is not paid to tlie wonts
of the animals in summer; they are in
many places left to depend entirely on
clover or grass, get no grain and have
no defense from the heat or sun. or from
rain. When a hog is roaming at large,
he is his own physician, and selects such
plants, etc., as are remedies for his dis
eases. Swine are particularly fond of
plants which contain a large proportion
of sulphur. Common mustard, or a few
plants of wild mustard, will supply this.
Radishes and the top rind of the ruta
baga contain sulphur, and may be used
with good effect Tlie peculiar Bmeli of
horse-radish arises from the sulphurous
volatile oil in it When hogs are shut
up in a yard or pen, they should lie sup
plied with preventives of the diseases to
which tbey are subject A mixture of
earth and chalk should always be within
reach. Coal ashes or powered charcoal
are essential. Salt shotud be given
daily in small quantities. A few grains
of nitre are beneficial in warm weather.
Sulphur in some shape should alwavs be
availnble. Perfect cleanliness should lie
observed, and regularity in feeding etc.
Now that cheese factories ore becoming
so general, it is imjxjrtant for farmers to
know that whey and barley meal make
excellent fattening food for swine.—
WttrrK Rural
Moss ix PAfiTTßra.—F. B. Palmer,
Centrevilie, X. W, writes to the Farmer's
Club that the farmers in that vicinity
are mostly engaged in dairying—" Many
with myself have large rmature* where
the land is naturally good. bnt the gram
is running out, and a dark, green, mossy
substance is taking its place. Can such
land be economically reclaimed,and grass
be made to grow bv any other top dressing
than born van] mauure ? If we plow up
such land and re-seed it, it will be all
right again, but many pastures are so
situated that it would make much in
convenience to do so. If men who have
had experience in such matters, belong
ing to your Club, can give us some good,
practical advice we will be much oblig
ed." In response the application of
lime was recommended by several parties
but CoL Curtis said lime, nor barnvard
manure, nor anything else short of plow
ing would destroy the moss which wa.t
getting possession of the pasture lands ;
aDd then it would return and occupy
them after a few yearn. Such had been
Deacon Reade's experience also. The
Commander had put two tons of
bone dust on three acres, overrun with
moss, and grass grew thereafter without
faiL Mr. Smith had a low-lying meadow
covered with moss and unproductive of
grass, which he first drained. Part of
it he limed and the grass crop improved; !
another part was manured with like'
results; still another part was irrigated
by turning on it the wash from the
roadside. This succeeded best of aIL
Mr. Gregory recommended soot Pro
fessor Squelch had restored mossy,
unproductive meadows on Stiff clayey
loam soil by thoroughly harrowing fin
or spring) with a sharp-toothed har
row, sowing on grass seed, applying
plaster and ammoniacal manure—horse
manure. Gentlemen must not expect to '
exterminate moss forever any more than
wpeds. If you do not give the Boil some
thing else to do and something to do
it with, it will grow only moss; and
moss, even if plowed under, is not a
manure, and a pretty good index of a
soil that needs feeding.
MASSACRE IN ALGERlA. —Accounts from

insurrection continues to range as fierce

had been perpetrated by the Arabs at

ware murdered with the greatest bru

THE VEXDOME Connor.—The Palrir
gives interesting facts in ' regard to the

It was made with the bronze of 1,200
cannon captured from the Russians.
Prussians, and Austrian*. It was begun
on the 29th of August, 1806, and finished
in 1810, under the direction of the ar
chitects Denon, and Gondiiin.
Its total weight was about 600,000 Ilm.
The expenses for its construction were : j
Melting the bronze, 154,837 francs;
weighing the same, 450 francs ; chisel
ling, 257,210 francs ; the statue by Chan
det, 13,000 francs; sculptured cornices,
39,115 francs; general designs, 11,400
francs; masons, locksmiths, carpenters,

50,000 francs; 251,367 kilogrammes of
bronze, 1,005,468 francs; total, 2,352,-
468 francs. Ure's Dictionary of Arts,
under the article on bronze, says the
founder of the column was so unskilful
in melting the bronze that he had gone
on progressively refining his alloy till
he had exhausted the copper, and he
then worked up the refuse scoriae in the

A Shocking Tragfdj In Ohio.
A young man named Hunter, while
living at his home in Michigan, became
ncquaiuttnl with and ennmort'd of Ghloe
QargiU, of Uiclifield. Summit County,
Ohio. She was at tout t wont v-two years
of ue, he twenty-eight, taut Fall he
paid liar a visit, being well received by
the family. Hut visit in the family waa
prolonged, the attachment between him
and MIHH Unrgett strengthened nml in
tensified. When he retained home to
Michigan he kept ttpa correspondence
with Iter and endeavored to obtain the
ifluisent of her |an<ata to his marriage
with the daughter. The Winter IWMMI
and in the Spriug he was informed that
the marriage was iinjHwuuhle, jxwuip
torily ordered to desist from all further
eornupoudeuoe, aud to gi\e up whatever
pretension* lie hud to Miss Gargvtt'a
ft and. He swore that he wotild have
her or slav her, aud used every means in
his power to execute his threat.
A few days ago he concluded tliat all
endeavors to obtain her in
would le Useless aud lie set about to take
her life. He went (o Hielith-ld. Arriv
ing at his destination in the afteruoou,
he ri mured immediately to the house of
Mr. liotx-rt tiargott and tuk<d where
his daughter wa*. "It makes uo differ
ence where site to," answered the father,
**Ttu cannot see her." " I will see her,"
said he, "or I'll kill all of you." The
father here-upon ordered him to leave the
premises, ana Hunter die a a revolver
and tins), hitting the old man in the
head.
The old magi fell, rendered insensible
by the wound, and the mother, who waa
standing near by, cried out to her
daughter : "He lias killed your father ;
tiv ! flv !" The daughter ran up stairs,
| and the murderer aimed at the mother,
shooting her IU the head, aud causing
instant death. As the report of the pis
tol tuiuglod with the moan of the dying
mother, the fleud ruslu-d forward toward
the alnir-cu.se where the daughter had
disappeared The lady's brother, Hod
uey, here grappled him, and a violent
struggle ensued. The blood-thirsty
mau triumphed. He leaped from the
cluU-litM of the brother, and raising his
revolver, tired at him a shot that put
him leyond the power of interfering,
lioduey rushed into tiie street, frantic
from his wound, and tilling the air with
shrieks and screams, the life-blood
tr,aklig from his wound. In au instant
he was a good distance from the scene
of the tragedy. A large crowd gathered
about him, totally unable to comprehend
the ueaningW hisorit*, and soon moved
toward tlie house, where the bloody
truth became but too apparent.
Iu the meantime, the ilaug liter, hear
ing tlie second report of the pistol, and
seeing her maniac brother stagger
through the streets, leaja d from a st-c
--oud-tory window into the street, nml
sought refuge in a neighboring house.
An old lady lu whose house she entered,
wwited her in a cellar and then return
ed to her front door just iu time to meet
the bloody murderer on the threshold.
He demanded adiuiaaiou ami was refus
ed. The brave woman stood before her
door,barring tlie pamnge-way and stout
ly refusing him admittance. He here
again delcuired his piirjavie to lull the
young woman, mingling his threats with
oaths, and saying that die should either
wed him or die. The crowd gathered
around, and he said he would shoot him
self. and raised the revolver to his head
to let it fall harmless. He aimed tin
weapou at u young man iu the crowd,
utteriug a threat, but did not tin-. He
reeled about for a moment or two,
pointing his revolver at every one who
came near, and finally moved away from
the house.
Iu became evident now that Hunter's
plan waa tooasume insanity. With the
seven-shooter in his hand, four barrels
loaded, he miugb-d with the cxcit- d
throng, calling himnelf a murderer, ami
extending his blood-stained hand to all
he met. "Shake hands with me," said
he, " see how it seems to shake the
hand of a murderer. 1 was determined
to kill or marry her. If you don't shake
bauds with me I'll shoot you. Hurrah
for a murderer." With these and other
cries he stag ;ered alxv.it the streets,
compelling every oue to shake hinds
with him, and finally wandering tuck to
the house where lay the dead mother
aud the wounded father. Several ut
tempto were made to arrest him, but to
all who approached ho presented the
deadly barrel and they shrank tuck.
Here in front of Mr. Garrett's house
a ni'iu from the crowd slipped behind
the murderer and tiirou hun to the
ground. An instant later he was txmnd,
the revolver wrenched from his hand,
and all jxiwer of doing harm taken from
him. In this position the murderer
asserted that he had drank a great deal,
and was then under the influence of
liquor. He said lie had taken lxtison
from remorse, and wanted to kill him
self. Neither assertion wits listened to,
for it was clear that he was not under
the influence of liquor, and if he laid
disired self-destruction it could have
cosily been obtained by the loaded re
volver.
The excitement existing among the
crowd was intense, and u strong di*j>osi
tion was manifested to hang the murder
er at once without trial. The friends of
law and order, however, prevailed, and
Hunter was placed in confinement. The
wounded son, on Ixdiolding iiim, uud
understanding the terrible eritue that
agitated the bosoms of thou- around
him, attempted to grasp the murderer
of'liis mother and ileitroyer of tlie jx are
of his family. He was restrained, and
the thoughts of the crowd turned to the
wounded and the d-ad.
The doctor proceeded at once to ad
minister all the care that surgical and
medical skill could suggest. He has hut
little hope of the recovery of the fnthcr,
and the fate of the sou depends more
upon his Own conduct than northing
else. If he can he kept quiet atnl calm,
he will probnblv recover. The father
has a bullet in his brum.
Hunter was taken to Akron, to be con
fined in jail. On the way he conversed
freely, stating that he did wrong to
shoot the father and mother, and only
intended to kill the daughter. He in
timated that he was unconscious of
what be was doing when the father re
fused him admission, and seemed to be
pre)wring the way for "emotional in
sanity.'*
The family of Mr. Gargett lias resided
for many years in West Hichfield, where
the crime was )x-rpetrat-d. They had
amassed quite u fortune and lived con
tent, enjoying the esteem of all their
neighbors who now mourn the loss
death bus made among them. Hunter
was from Michigan, and says he is of a
highly respctable family.

A BRITAJ- AFFAIR. —Lieut Whitman,
of the Third United States Cavalry, in
an official report of the recent massacre
of eighty Indians, nearly all women and
children, at ('amp Grant Reservation, in
Arizona, says that since these Indians
liail been at that post they had made
friends with all whom thoy met, by their
unvarying good conduct, they had fur
nished the jKist with nearly 150 tons of
hay, and that many of the women were
killed while sleeping beside bundles of
hay which they had collected to bring in
on that very day. He says that the
atrocious butchery was without justifica
tion.
VACCINATION has received a new lease
of life from the testimony of Sir William
Jennet), the great English physician,
who declares that he would be wanting
in his obligation to his six children did
he permit them to go unvaccinated.

they at otira did—over thirty of tln-ui
going out iu a crowd, uud matted Uirtn

butcher, named lsdwig Nelier, utid well
known a* a desperate character, (rot in
to an alteivation with an Irishman iu
the Hall, and, doming a sabre, struck
at ldw. The latter involuutartly threw
up hla hands, and received the full force
of the wcajmn acroaa both orais, inttict
>ng a severe wound. Nelier, fur some
reason or other, liefore going to the
dame, had }iut a revolver in hia jxs'ket
tUid alrujqwd ou a cavalry mibre alanit
three feet long. Hhortly after, Neher
went out to walk, where the crowd,
spoken of altove, waa hitting, lie com
menced uaiog abusive language and
wutteriug threat* against the Yankees
A young man named Joaejdi ltuelle told
bira to aton hia uoiae, when Nolier turn
ing around auddenly, drew his revolver,
and ahot young llilelle through the lu-ad,
the ball euteriug at the temple and | lash
ing ao far throu <h that a pnitubaranoe
could tie heeu at the back of the head.
The wounded man sprang into the air
and fell ou hia back. 11* waa taken
borne, where be lingered in an uucon
aciuti* state until the next morning at 7
o'clock, at which time he died. Km lie
wua a (|uiet, civil young man, about
twenty yeara of age, very generally
known and mtMßnl After Neher had
(trod the firat and fatal shot, he fired
. three time* more in quick huccraaion at
the sain* crowd, and afterward filed two
allot* more at the bystander*. Fortu
uately none of the aliota after the firat
took effect. Thia occurred about 11
o'clock.
Nelier ww> immediately aiTented, and
officeia proceeded to take him to jail.
The infuriated crowd commenced >Uimp
iug upon aud lusting him, and by the
time he reached tin- j til ou the aoutii
side he wta mora dead than alive. The
officer*, after hs-kiug liim up, stationed
a guard alx>ut the jail.
Tuesday muruiug the excitement
seerut-d to grow more intense, and threat*
of lynching the murderer were frequent
and o|ien. Toward noon, a* it became
evident that tbe mob would carry tlieir
threat iuto execution, it wa* resolved to
get Nelier aboard of the Northwest, and
bring him to Green Ha v. Hot this waa
fcund impossible. At Vugtli the boat
teaui<sl across the river, and lay at the
dock Home little time for this purpooe.
lhey could not get him aboard, a* a
mob gathered at the luirf aud stood
ready to kill the primmer, should thia lie
attempted. This inoject was abandoned,
and Neher waa left in the jail, a strong
guard being stationed on lli<> outside
meanwhile. About 7 o'clock in the
eveuiug the mob made an attempt to get
the prisoner, but faded. AUmt 8( tln-y
wade a second attack. A telegraph pole,
which it required thirty men to lift, was
converted into a tattered-nun. end with
thia three door* were iiattcied down.
The officer* and guard* offered ucb re
sistance aa they could, but the over
whelming force against them rendered
their effort* futile. At l ngth Neher
wa* roadbed, and a ropa immediately
tiewl about hi* neck. He wa* then drag
ged forth, and taken to the north aide of
the river. He begged to tie granted
time until morning, when, a* lie cxpreaa
ed It, he would clear himself. When
the bridge wa* reached, he was inform
ed that he could have fifteen minutes in
winch t-> pray, though be was given but
atmut three minutes. After tlua tem
porary halt, the t)d crowd went on
with their victim until they reached a
vacant lot on Section street, about
eighty rods from the jail. Here a tree
wa* selected, and some person quickly
ascended and throwiug the rvipeover a
stout limb, he wa* pulled up a few feet
from the ground. 'lhr nuuincr of thia
execution was most tarltaroits. The
r j>e was |KOMSI around lit** luck, with
the knot tied at least a foot above his
head. He wa* not allowed the suddcu
drop and almost instant death, bnt pull
ed up from the ground and left iu tlie
agonic* of the death struggle for aome
minutes. Just before being hung he
implored the *rnricea of a pruwf. but was
retimed with the reply that lie had not
given hia victim a aimilar opportunity.
It is described as a fearful aocne. The
wretched man hanging there, struggling
to free himself, the dreadful rope js-r
--forming it* mission slowly ; at times he
would awing against the tree, and.
with an apjwrent conseioueiicsa, would
kick with ancb force a* to throw bis

length death put an end to bi agony,
and the body of laid wig Neher hung
limp and It is estimated
that atiout I,ooo,person* witnessed ih •
dreadful scene. Tlie ringleaders of the
mob constated of about twenty or thirty
m-n.
The hanging occurred alout 9 o'clock.
The next morning, the body bail mys
teriously disappeared. It i* conjectured
that the remains wi re thrown into a saw
dust pit aud bnrned. in order to prevent
implications of any of the narti'-* by
reason of an inquest. The whole affair
is a most shocking one and a sad com

the gun is, moreover, not merely a show

' THR WHEAT HARVEST IN VIRGINIA.—
A Richmond journal says: Wheat har
vesting lias generally commenced einong
the farmers in tliis part of the State.
The information received from those
whose wheat has ripened, indicated a
much finer yield than the farmers had
anticipated they would get a week or teu
days ago. The rust, which had almost
universally mnde its appearance on the
blade of the wheat, seems to have
stopped there, and in only a few in
stances reached the stalk. The heads
are said to be pretty large and w ell tilled,
with good-sized grains. Should the sea
son lie favorable for taking care of the
crop after it has been renjied, the farmers
will, we believe, liave no cause to com
plain of a " short crop."
In dressing for photographs, dark
brown, chirk green, maroon, ami plain
block goods, without gloss, will take a
rich drab color. Hilks of the same color
will take considerable lighter. Snuff
brown, dark leather, dark drab, scarlet,
cherry, dark orange, (crimson, and slate
will also take a rich drab color, Violet,

in the United States—it is of 3,000 cow
power, and is now using the products of
225 cows. The main building is of brick,
35 by 82, three stories high, witli a wing
20 by :tT, and is complete in all its ar
rangements. A STT-lorse-power steam
engine drives the machinery, and the
water is supplied in every pari of the
building from uu ai-tesiau well. The
manufacturing room contains 3*2 presses,
and three vats, holding 800 gallons each,
and an arctic cooler. There is also a but

COUNTING CHICKENS.— The French
habit of couutiug chickens before they

action of a French prisoner of war, at
Hamburg. He was an officer who had
been very kindly treated by the family

leaving for his own country, wishing to
express his gratitude to nis hosts, he
left with them a sealed envelope, to be
opened after his departure. It was
found to contain a letter to the future
French Commander of ILunhurg (when
it should have been conquered by the
French), begging him to treat the afore
said family ar considerately as they

violently that the Oovaroment office*,
temples, granaries, atone and atora
bonnea and fortifteatiotia, with idl tlie
common dwellings and the temple of
Tmg-lin, were at once overthrown and
ruiutd ; the only exception was the hall
; in the temple grounds, called Ta-cha-,
which stood unharmed in ita isolation.
A few of the troops and people e*ca|>-
ixl, but moat of the inmates won crualitxl
and killeil under the falling timber and
stone. 1 lattice also suddenly burst out
in four places, which strong winds drove
about until tbe baavena were darkened
with atiioke, and their roaring wa* min
gled with the lamentation* of the die
treated people. On tlie 16th the flainea
were beuteu ihran, but the rumbling
noise* were atill heard under tlie ground
like distant thunder, and the earth rock
led and rolled like a ahip in a storm at

miseries of the afflicted iuliabitaut* were
increased by a thouaand fears, but in
■tlauit 10 days mstUrs l*gan to grow

Tbe grain collector at liathaug saya
that for several days la-fore tlie eartli
quake the water had orwiowed the dyke,
but alter it the eartii cracked iu many

out in a furious maimer. If one poked
the earth the spurting instantly followed,
just aa in tbe raae with the aalt-welU and
fire-wells (in the eastern part of the pro

ed that thre followed the earthquake in
liatliang.
Aa nearly a* is aar toined, there were
destroyed "two large t mpleo, the office*
of the' collector of grain tax. the local
magistrate, anil the colonel, the Tiug-liu

The earthquake extemled from lia

It is antoniabiug what au immense

Shoe Tin Company of Boston. The
silver ami ooitper tips for boots and shoes
