If the hands are used, put the crashed

FISH AS MAXTRE.— I>r. J. V. C. Smith
said in the Farmers Club, fl*h was a very
good manure for worn-out land*. Their
use for this purpose was suggested to the
Puritans by Squauto, an Indian, who
told tbem that the way the natives man
aged to raise corn was by putting three
herrings into each I*ll. The Doctor alsc
remarked that the great valne of the
overflowing of the Nile was the fact that
the deposit it left on the land was com
posed of millions of infusoria] animals.
This fertilizing material, so rich in ani
mal matter, had made Egypt the granarv
of the old world. He also alluded to
the custom of burying dead animals
near twos, so that they may derive the
benefit of the fertilizing matter contain
ed in the muscles, and the phoa
£ hates in the bones as the bodies decay,
[r. Bruen told how a friend of bi
bought a farm of poor land for 82,000.
This farm was manured with M>s
Bunkers, spread all over thickly, and
ploughed under, after which a crop of
wheat was sowed. The proceeds were
forty bushels to the acre on seventy acre*,
which he sold for 31.50 a bushel, and
thus paid for the place twice over with
the first crop, afld it was the fish that
did it.' Dr. Gro well said that where Moss
Bunkers were used continually, the land
becomes sour after the thin! year, and
-will not produce a crop. The* same re
mit is noticed with fish guano.
HABVESTTNO HAT EARLY. —Mr. H. L.
Readc read the following paper on the
importance of. harvesting hav earlv, in
the Farmer's Club: "In 1869, the* hay
crop in the United States amounted to
19,291,128 tons, worth at least 8191,-
291,280. Eleven years have increased
this by at least one-third, so that the
cr'p m 1870 was at least 30,000,000 tons,
worth 8300 000,000. Making alow es
timate one-sixteenth of the value of
this crop is l<st by late catting. And
yet the practice so costly is surprisingly
common. Were argument necessary to
con vino* farmers of their mistake 'and
lorn, attention might he called to that
wonderful and most suggestive provision
of providence that in almost if not all
sections of the world where cattle de
pond upon wild grass for winter as well
a* summer food, sudden and great heat
and a correspondingly dry atmosphere
coml line t<> change the grass into what
civilization calls hay while in the ful
ness of its growth and always before its
maturity; and thus it is that when
for months not a green thing is eaten
by the herds or roving animals, they are
found to be in better flesh at the* end
than at the beginning. If the grass
reached completeness in its growth and
seeding before being dried, cattle eating
it would die of starvation rather than
thrive. Science as well as observation
demonstrates the necessity of en early
hay harvest. Grass is the natural food
of animal*, and before the plant reaches
its maturity it oontains all the elements
needed to make a perfect aliment in the
best pos-ible combination and in the
best possible proportion. AJterwards,
the nature of the plant changes, and
reprodnction, not force—if we may put
it in this phrase—becomes the ultimate
object If, therefore, farmers would se
cure the best and most valuable hay crop,
grass should be cut while the seed-vessels
are forming, and never after they are
formed. Haying therefore, should be
commenced, ou an average, ten days
earlier than it is. There may be a little
loss at the beginning in the bulk, possi
bly in the weight, "in consequence of the
immaturity of the erop; but the lose
would le none at the end, by the change
in the nature of the plant from a juicy,
saccharine combination into something
that acta simply as a stiff, horny holder
for the vessels containing the matured
seed." .

A PETBOTKD BIRD'S NEST AND EOOS.
—A correspondent of the &ientific
American says : The most remarkable
petrifaction I ever saw was found in the
mining ground of Mc-sia. Nichols and
Ennis, in the You Bet mining district,
in California. It consisted of a bird's
nest and eggs thoroughly ailicified, the
eggs retaining their natural size and
Bhu{ie. Tlie nest was somewhat flatten
ed, and what hod evidently been the
straws and twigs of which it hod in for
mer times been composed were like
threads of glass. Some of the eggs were
broken before the nest was discovered ;
the shells seemed thickened, but very
little, if any. What had apparently
been the inside of the egg was now like
a little dab of glass. Tins nest was
t iken from the fork of a large fossil tree,
where it bad been for ages, undisturbed
in its cosy resting place, until wood, nest
and eggs had passed away, and their
place and form being assumed by the silex
of which the fossil was composed.

which exhibits the number of deuths iu

with those of Loudon for a similar nue,
.aid also as compared with the deaths in

1870, The official statement of the
i Physician of the Prefecture of the Seine
shews that in Paris, with a population
of 1,825,247, according to the census of
1 866, there were, from the 10th to the

A BLOODY FlOHT.— Details of the re

Mich., between some of the town-oeople
and the attaches of a menagerie, show that
it vaa caused by the refusal of the door
keeper to admit a little girl on a half
price ticket. She came with her father
aud mother. The refusal given rise to
some word*, aud the door-keeper knock
ed the father down. He imm'-diately
went to a neighboring brick-yard aud
collected a crowd of men, who proceed
ed to the canvas, and soon succeeded in
getting into a low with the attaches of
the concern. One of th<- attacking party
was hit on the head with a brick and
instantly killed, aud several others were
desperately wounded. Nearly at the
end of thi? fight one of the menagerie
men made an attack upon an inoffensive
fanner stauding by. threw bis arm
around the old man's neck. and pro

AN INDIAN Hrso.—The Lake port {CaL)
Arnlmchr. says: At half-past twelve
o'clock, the jury summoned, and visitors
and Indians invited, were admitted into
the jail court to witness the execution of
'lndian Tom,' the murderer of Daniel
Wedig. Up to the time that the Indian
was brought from his cell he contended
that Indians 'Francisco' and 'Jim' were
equally as guilty as himself—decluriug
most positively that they assisted in the
murder. When taken from the cell to
the scaffold be walked with a firm, steady
step, and apparently fully self-possessed.
He said he 'wished to told them not to
steal, not to do anything wrong ; to be
good, and God would forgive them ; not
to gamble or drink whiskey ; uot play
cards ; not to stole anything ; not to do
wrong, and God would stive them ; God

WITCH BIRSIXO. -The natives of India,
in their progress toward civilization,
seem to liave just reached the witclis
burning stage. Si range stories are told
of their superstitious fancies regarding
ngly old women. One uged lieldurae
wufl lately accused of eating the livers
of the patients in a hospital, aud in order
to put an end to her indulgence in that
kind of diet, the liigh-miuded natives
hung her by the heels to the branch of a
tree, and swung her back and forth for
several hours. Iu another case an alleged
witch was on the point of being bur mil,
when the English authorities rescued
her. Her offense, too, was fees ling on
other people's livers, to the groat preju
dice of their health. The-e Hindoos
ought to be either more or less civilized
than they are now, for the present state
of their progress is the worst imagina
ble.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. —Judge Mal
lory, of Milwaukee, Wis., a few days
ago, in sentencing a confessed prisoner
to imprisonment for life, said : "I am
induced to think and believe that the
universal practice of pardoning crimi
nals, so common in these days, is one of
the incentives to the commission of
crime, inasmuch as criminals are led to
expect a brief incarceration. In this
ease, considering the aggravated circum
stances under which the crime was com
mitted, and its cold-blooded character, I
should, were the death penalty in force,
feel constrained to pass it upon you, and
if many such atrocious crimes are devel
oped in this community there will be a
strenuous call for the re-enactment of
the death code."
A Petroleum Exploration.
Colonel Forney write* to the Phila
delphia Pmt from the oil regions of
Pennsylvania s long account of the pre
vent condition of the pctrolium field.
Ho say* :
There are uow forty-seven oil-districts.
In the month of May last these forty
seven district* produced 408,7W7 bur
rels, equal hi l!t, 187 per dav, which, st
#1 60 to $3.00 per barrel, will give you
some idea of the revenue derived fyotu
tins new luwuch of industry. Many
changes have taken place, but uo revo
lution has Uvn so effective avthe substi
tution of wrought-irou pipes, some two
and • half iuchea in diameter, for the
original plan of conveying oil in barrel*
form the wells to the tank* on the rail
road car*.
These pipes are frequently carried over
distance of three or four miles. They
are manufactured in Philadelphia, and
are composed of ma-lious, which screw
iuto each other. They are spread over
the most irregular ground, up snd down
, hill*, and when fastened into the laukv, at
both end* the steam-engine i applied,
aud the oil is forced to run down st a
very rapid rate until the railroad tank is
full. There are said to be over iI.OOO fvt
of this pipe now laid in the district. Un
der the former proccM the cost of con
veying the oil was equal to one dollar a
barrel. I i now not one-fifth of that
amount—an almost incalculable econ
omy, when we consider that there is no
longer any necessity tor spending money
for laurels. Another great advantage
of the uew svsteui over the old is the
1 utilising of the gas which is found iu
| large quantities iu many localities while
1 boring for oil-wells. Pipes see applied
to this gas, and it proves a first-oiaa*
substitute for fuel, Wing employed to
i run engiues, Ac. It is estimated that a
j single well is capaliU of supplying gas
enough to illuminate a city the site of
Franklin.
The question tuny lie asked why, if
-ueh fortunes were realised when oil
comniauded only F1.26 a Wire I, it can
' not W obtained at the same price now ?
I The answer ia that tlie article has appre
ciated, owing to the increasing demand
for it ; aud as the trade is in the bauds
of certain united organizations, they
slacken o}>erations the moment the de
i maud moderates, or store their oil iu vunt
I tanks on their estates, some of which
hold kp,ooo and eveu a> high as *20.000
barrels. You will perceive, therefore,
i that while there arc tuauv failures, while
mauy a {>oor fellow vainly bore* for tlie
precious liquid, the average profit i* enor-
I moil*, and thut one or two good pro
ducing wells is a sure fortuuo.

The inflated part lient over the topmost

no limb below it, and to reach this, by

Cormick, seventeen yearn old. eldest
daughter of a wealthy farmer's widow
living in DrKalb Counrr, Illinois, was
shot and instantly killed, while sitting
at the supper-table with her mother,
her brother and sinter. The murder was
committed by an ignorant farm hand
uatned John need, who luul worked for
her mother three season*, aud the only
cause was that the young ladr had re
fused to accompany him to a Fourth of
July celebration. Reed tired two shots
through the window from a double-bar
reled shot-gun, the first charge entcriug
her brain aud killing her instantly, the
m cood pissing over the head of a little
sister sitting in range, and lodging in
the ceiling. Reed returned the gun to
a neighbor from whom he had borrowed
it, and fled. Forty men on horseback
scoured the country, and messengers
were dispatched to various railroad sta
tions, some even going to Aurora and
Chicago, to intercept h s flight.

there thev move in large liautU. Wagons
filled witii luggage of every variety and

which are horse-trading, theft, and for

strange, wandering people should u<>t

to ioretell the future, but everywhere
llud such multitudes to believe them.
Pi-rbupa it is their isolated wild life

A Itussiau traveler iu hi* rambles

he had completed only a few faces las

occurred One day the whole band
crowded annuel him, loading liim with
reproaches, and heaping all aorta of
opprobrious epithet* upon him. It turn
ed out that the hand of one of the band,
whose portrait he had sketched, had
heroine dtseaaed, and they lea|>ed at
once to the conclusion that some sort
of poiou hail been inoculated in the
prone-a of taking the likeness, and they
eried out as he approached, " You are
u iteiuou,—you bring dineaeea UJKJU us."
They had no idea at first of the object
of the artist iu desiring a sitting, or in
fuet what he was after—they thought
only of the pay they were to receive.
But when they saw the likeness of them
selves produced on the paper they were
astonished, and looked upon it as a

ludicrous. Home, on seeing themselves
as it were in a mirror, laughed outright

A flood Us; fir Snakes.
A gentleman residing iu Greene coun
ty, Geo., give* us the following remarka
ble snake story :
"He says that lie had repaired to flu*
banks of a small stream for the purpose
of securiug a small fry far breakfast
His attention was soon attracted by a
watcr-Miake Iving a few feet below htm,
in the elge of the water, with hia head
resting on the hnuk. He had hooked
young alligator once by putting a small
fish on hi* hook and playing it on top
of the water, and it occurred to him
that he might hook the snake in the
same wav. Cutting a small piece from a
tinh ami baiting his hook with it, he
I liegau to play it slow ly around the snake's
head. lie gave evident signs of interest
in the bait revolving around liini, but
made no move. Soon, by accident, the
' piece of fish touched tlie back of his
bead. His snakeship took this as an
| insult, and showed his resentment by
snapping at it furiously, and after three
, or four efforts caught it in bis mouth.
I The gentleman tightened the line, and
his snakeship discovered that he was
'sold. After performing divers evolu
tions, with the hope of either running
| or fighting hia way out of the scraps, he
I acknowledged that though hi* great an
j ocstor hud been too much for the woman,
the sou of the woman had now become
| too much for him, and gracefully sub
mitted to lie lifted on the bank and have
I hit head bruised. 'lhe queer antic* of
the first snake had now attracted n
; second to the spot, and, rebutting his
hook w th a piece of fish, the angler let
it down gently till it touched his head
as he lay u|*>n the wuter, with his head
a little elevated. Soon as tlie hook
touched him bo seized it, and quickly
found himself by the aid" of hi* compan
ion. In less than an hour ho caught
four—all that ho mold find. One of
them got loose after being drawn up to
land, and got back into tne water ; but
ho readily bit at the hook the second
time, and was caught again. On ' a
good day for anak a,' Uio gentleman
thinks he could catch them faster than
some men can unhook them."

There ia no aoeue ao heartrending and
diaireaaing a* the gronud atrewu with the
b<Hliee of men, who lived end laughed a
few momenta before the fatal bullet laid
them low. But the aight of women and
children in the throee of violent death,
at their own door-steps, is atitl more dia
tro#Mtng. Much an <me waa presented in
Eighth avenue, betweeu Twenty-third
and Twenty-fourth afreet*, after the
struggle dtmcriltod above. Home lay in

and kindly bystander*, "flu-re were six

poor fellow named Heed, who had liecn

bleeding to death, strove hard to leuietu
tier a prayer, and repeat it with hps that
had but a few mouieuta tiefore given vent
to terrible blasphemy. "Ji*u, Mary

of Twenty-fonrtlt street laid the tiodies
of two men and women, beyond them

one of whom wa* attired elegantly. Me

A woman aud child were shot dead at

aud that she fired at the troops on seve

the child are at the Morgue. The wo
man wa* ahot through the body, aud
the child through the head. The ap*
p-aranee of both IMMUCS was ghastly in
the extreme.
Patrolman Patrick O'tlnoly, of the
. .Sixth Precinct, when the attack wa#
made on lliberuia Hall, refused to fol
low the lead of Captain Kenuedy, of
the Sixth Precinct. The latter told him
to "get to work," when he fiatly refused,
Maying that he would not fight against

taken from him, and himself locked up
in a ci-U. The Sixth Precinct police
were ao incensed at tlie coudnct of their
comrade that it was difficult to restrain )
them from pounding him to death.
While the police were marshalling in
front of police headquarters a patrolman
of tlie Fourteenth Precinct, while on
duty in Prince street, saw an immense
crowd gather in front of the liquor store
of Oliver Finney, 14 Spring street.
Thinking that fighting waa in progress,
he gave an alarm rap and rushed toward
the crowd. A* he gradually w*ml it
he was horrified to see a rope thrown
over the police telegraph pole there, aud i
what was apparently the body of a man j
costumed in the regwli* of the Orange
society swing into the air. Iu response
to the alarm rap a strung force of police
soon arrived, aud the crowd ran away.
The swinging Imdy iu the air proved to
lie an effigy of straw habited in a man's
clothe* anil decorated with Orange rib
bons It wa# soon cut down.
The World saya : The writer of this
bad seen in the early part of the day,
near Hibernia Hall, in Prince street, a
more than mortal man ; his frame was
herculean ; his face not unlike that which
Mirabeaii deacnlww aa his own—that of a
tiger who had had the small-pox. He
iwrtned filled with nppmara ferocity
not pleasing to aee. He was the centre
of no group ;yet no bystander, interested
or not in what waa to be tlie ruder of the
day, could help looking at him ss a type
of t bad and dangerous class. He stuck
j out his jaw*, twisted hia hand alout
nervously, and evidently was bursting
for a row. The better sort of men about
Hilwmia Hall did not wm to like him,
but another sort afterwrards followed him
into Broadway, up which tbev went.
Later in the day the writer aaw the same
man near the St. Denis Hotel, when the
Orangemen were marching up to their
rendezvous. Again he saw the same
ominous actions, and, looking for n re
sult, saw one when on the heads of his
comrades, for good cause, ilcsecnded
the policemen's clubs, aiul where they
fought tlicre they fell, but not the hero,
whose thoughts tin u were bent on safety.
Still later the same man was seen urging
a crowd up Twenty -sixth street to d
deeds of valor at Eighth avenue. He
pressed hia way to the first ranks : there
was a volley final, and the reporter had
the pleasure of looking at the dead face
of the bully, shot right in the mouth
and lying in the gutter.
After the storm bad passed, its track
waa marked by signs ghastly and deso
lating. At each place when- riot had
occurred law had left its mark. Doors,
half-o|iencd to hide some ahriukwg
w re'.oh who had tried to place them be
tween himself and the dealt oyer, re
mained half-opened, with a dead body
on the sill. Stairs leading into cellar*
were slippery with the blood of tbo*e
who had l>cen tumbled headlong down.
For three minutes after the troops hud
passed the street was almost deserted,
and then was filled again by wailing
women rushing about wringing their
hands and screaming for their dead.
The rioters had disappeared, their place
was now filled with mourners. Willi
staring eves the father sought his sou,
and turned with Ueuibling hand* each
corpse, if perchance it might lie that of
which ho was in search. Houses which
a few minutes before hud been still and
apparently deserted now poured out
their inmates from every door, for from
each s father or son was missing ; and as
the warm-hearted Irishwoman saw in the
mangled coriise at her feet all that was
! left of her husband or her boy, her
wild keening pierced the air, and she sot
down on the ground, covered her face
with her apron, giving uncontrolled vent
ito her sorrow. At the corner of Twen
ty-eighth street, where the tiring did its
j moot terrible work, the sight was unen
! durable.
Here lav s child moaning iu its death
agony, and looking piteoualy at each
j one who passed it, as if wondering
when its mother would come and take it
in her arms and carry it home. A man
IST just as he had fallen head first down
a cellar, another trampled into a shape
less mass in n gutter. Here was the
I broken and dented stock of a riile ten
feet from the man whose head it had
j crashed. Not to complete, but to give
terrible meaning to the story, more than
one woman lay dead, with the symbol of
her un*eied womanhood —a murderous
weapon in her ban i.
Before the mob procession started from
j Frince street, there was one person in
it, a mere boy, who could not nave been
over 18, who'made himself oouspiouous
by the moat violent action and language.
He flourished a revolver, and vowed the
most fearful outiis that he would have
the blood of an Orangeman Is*fore night.
Half frantic with excitement his slender
frame and freckled face were seen flying
through the crowd as he incited hia fel
; lows to acts of violence. YVlieu the
|orty started he took his place in front,
and for a long way inarched by tha aide
of his leader with hia pistol in his baud.
An hour after, the writer of this came
down the cleared thoroughfare and *M
attracted to a crow d at a drug store near
Thirteenth street. Passing through the
knot of bystanders, he came upon the
i senseless form of this boy laid upon a
j board. His skull was oruahed, and the
blood had saturated him from head to I
feet A sorrow-stricken crowd glared at j
him.
The saddest sight of all. says the
Evening Pott, waa the body of a young
girl, about sixteen years of age, who
had been shot through the heart. It is
probable that the child never looked so
pretty in life aa she did in death. The
faoe wna in perfect repose, and a half
smile played around the lips, ae if,
when the' death shot struck her, she.
had been laughing at the exoiting scenes
around her, rejoicing, possibly, at the
prospect of e collision between the mil
itary and tit* mob.
It la known that many of the moat
desperate ringleader* were abot in the
act of inciting their follower* to greater
exertion* in the oanae of anarchy, and
of the many wounded at Bellerue Hos
pital, a great nuuilwr of them are hard
looking rufUaua. One or two of them,
whoae linrta are lc ** *rriou* than tboeo
of their companions, uttered fearful
threats against the Orangemen, and
curse* against the troops who had pro
tected them aw effectively, a wearing to
be tivengwl on aome future oeoaaion.
The Family Peleener.
One of the moat horrible instances of
female wickedness since the days of the
Borgia, (who used the aqun kfana witli
*nch freedom,) ia tliat now before a ecmrt
iiiDerhy, Conn. A woman named Mrs.
Lydia Mkerman ia held there charged
with many murder*. Altogether ahe ia
*ti|qo#ed t > Itave killed off three hus
band* am! eight children by giving them
small doses of arsenic; but it ia the death
of her hat husband, Mr. Mhennanaad
that of his children, for which the law ia
now seeking to make her responsible.
The alleged murdreas is a tine-looking
woman, with black, lustrous eye#, and
a good figure, and a prepossessing man
ner, and a taste for elaborate dress.
Cupidity ueein* to have prompted all her
murderou* movement*. Hhe wanted to
own by herself, all that her husband
posse****], (which wa* not ao much.) and
to this end desired first to get rid of all
the children aud then remove kirn to
" another aud a 1 letter world." In the
pofiular mind of Connecticut there seetns
to be no doubt of the woman * guilt, aud
the nature of the testimony leaves it in
no dispute. Hhe professed the warmest
attachment for her victim*, every one,
watched tenderly and n##idn msly at
their bed sides, and literally murdered
them by inches while b-stowing carcases
on them ! Her victim* all died plainly
of the effects of arsenic, and their bodies
being exhumed, the traces of arsenic
were ful'y expeak-d by means of chemical
analysis. In the liver of one of the
murdered parties the * mount of arsenic
found, to use the chemist's words, " was
simply enormous"—it was "certainly the
maximum amount that the human system
is capable of absorbing." To an this
proof of her guilt the witness listened
with uu air of elegant nonchalance, but
itia probable Shut, uotwithstanding all
her lieautv and cuuuiug, she will nave
to go to trial.
A Horrible Incident.
" A woman waa arrested in the Rue
. Hoqnettc, Paris, accused of arson, and
led off to execution ; her child, a little
girl of three or four, followed, clinging
to her mother's petticoats. No sooner
had the unfortunate woman been taken
into a court—front a window look
ing on to which my informant aaw what
fojlow.-d— than the was placed againat a
wall and shot The child, which had
I wen dragged away from ita mother
when the hitter waa led out to be shot,
fled, screaming with fright, at toe report
ot the muskets. An officer thereupon
drew his revolver and shot the child
through the back as it ran, killing it in-
Htantly. This sounds almost incredible,
I Hit after what I have heard I do not
doubt that it ia true. A staff officer,
| who in ordinary timea is one of the
kindest-hearti*d men I bave ever met,
told me • day or two ago that some hour* j
after toe regular array had got possession
of the Chateau de la Muotte, a mysteri
ous rapping was heard In a cupboard, j
Search wa* made, and two unfortunate
National Guards were dragged forth.
They had been locked up by Dombrow
ski'a* older, for having got drank on
duty—a Tery common crime under the
Commune. 'And what did yon do to
them?' I asked. 'Do to them F waa |
the answer ; 'why, shot them of course.'" j
