SCALDS.— A correspondent says that
♦he randiest and most useful remedy for
scalds aud burns is on embrocation of
lime water and linseed old. These simple
agents combined form a Uiiek, crernui
luto substance, which effectually excludes
the air tram the injured porta, "and allays
the inflammation almost instantly.
Tor DRAINING THE WHEAT FIELDS
where needed, is of great importance,
and it is better to do it as soou as the
wlient is sowu UIAU to wait till the raina
come. There are fields where it ia neces
sary to nlow out every dead furrow, but
ordinarily all that need to be done is to
make furrows from the lower ports of the
field where water accumulates. Secure
a good outlet from these, and the upper
portions, unless there are hollows, will
not need furrowing.
A Cm* FOR RCHAWAT HORSES. —A
gentleman exhibited before the Fanners'
CluK a patent device for stopping the
noses of horses to as tu prevent them
from running away when so inclined.
He said it was very cffcctual.'aud wonted
five dollars for each specimen of his
device. Mr. Ely suggested that the {dan
would do as well fig donkeys and awes
as for horsew ; but as none of the ani
mals came forward to be operated upon,
the Club was unable to pets an opinion
upon the practical working of the pntent.
VORACITY IN HORSES.—A subscriber to
Hmrlh umd Uom a who hue • horse thin
iu flesh, but with au enormous appetite,
which prompts huu to cat Urn litter, asks
what to do about it This iuordinate
appetite is a symptom of disease in the
digestive organs, or of the presence of
worms. If no worms have l>eeu ob
served, the first may be supposed to be
the cause. A simple remedy is to feed
to the horse a handful of wood-ashes,
one ounce of sulphur, an ounce of
common salt, mixed is his feed every
other day. I? worms ate troubling the
horse, give the following : one dram sul-
Sliate of iron, powdered, one ounce of
axseed meal, and the same of sugar.
Give this for one dose in a bran-mash at
night and repeat in forty-eight hours.
ROTTING AND SWEATING APPLES.
Samuel Wilson, of Podge County, Minn.,
tells the Farmera' Club, that he* reserved
twenty-five barrels of large Spitaenberg
apples about the 20th of last November,
and although he put them awav in a
cool place, when he looked over tliern a
month later, nor more than a quarter of
the entire lot was sound. He wanted
to know whether the barrels in which
the apples were stored should not have
had holes in them. Mr. Ely said it was
not the custom of large dealers to store
apples in perforated barrels, as in cold
weather the changes of temperature
tended to make them rot. Mr. Fuller
said apples {generally sweated after they
hal been picked or had fallen, aud that
if they were packed before this operation
had taken place they would be very
likely to rot
THE PortTBT " STANDARD OF EXCEX
LENCIL " —Some people ridicule tha con
ventional points of high-bred fowls,
which fanciers oossider of so much im
portance, and which determine the
awards of prizes at the shows. They
repeat the adage, " A good horse can
not be of a bad color," and ask whether
an egg from an old-fashioned fowl ia not
as good as one laid by a bird possessing
comb, wattles, and so on, of just the
prescribed proportions. It may be said
in reply, that it has been found necee
sarv to establish a set of conventional
points for Jersey cattle, in order thit the
breed may have an external badge as a
sign of their intrinsic merits and the
genuineness of their lineage ; and if an
animal relatively so large and of such
slow breeding, needs a scale of arbitrary
points, there must be more advantage
in having an indellible token affixed to
fowls, because their descent is more open
to doubt in many cases, owing to their
comparatively insignificant site and
value, and their quick increase, and the
facilities for their transportation to parts
of the country remote from the parent j
stock.
STORING WINTER A rn.ES A corres-
Endent of Laws of Life, who claims to
ve extended experience, is "decided
ly of the opinion" that apples keep far
better wben put into close barrels or;
boxes, and secluded as much as posai- ]
ble from the air. When thus stored, he
says they will come out in the spring
full and plump as when taken from the
tree. Many rarities, as the Tollman
Sweet, Spitzenberg, and those kinds that!
are not considered as long keepers, and'
shrivel badly, will do well treated in this
way. I have, he continues, found uni
versally that they keep better to let them
He without picking over. It is much
better to pile them into a large bin
across tlie cellar, say six or seven fret (
high snd four or five feet wide, and i
cover them up tight, than to lay them <
on shelves. I once saw such a bin that
a man had kept through the winter
About the first of April he thonght he
would open the windows on the side of I
the celiac next to the bin to let iu tlx-!
air, that they might keep better. I !
was at his place and he called my atten- !
tion to the fact. Two windows over the '
bin weroopereed about ten days or two j
weeks, ami the apples exact]v opposit.
the windows, about one-third, rotted
for as much as a foot in depth, and the
remaining part on either side, were not!
rotted at ull.
How APPLE TREES GROW.— If we;
make a deep hole with a crowbar in the
substratum of the earth, fill it with i
sand aud mellow soil and plant apple
seed in autumn near the surface of the
ground where the hole was made; the
next spring the wed will throw out a
root directly downward, until the end
reaches the strata of perpetual moisture?,
provided the "-arth is not so firm that a
root cannot extend further; and a stem
will com men e pushing upward, at the
same time bearing the apple seed on its
end, to the surface, where the kernel
will separate in two equal jiarts, forming
the seed leaf of the young tree. Mean
while, the tap-root continues to obtain a
more firm hold of the soil, which forti
fies the tree against injury incident to
dry weather. In a congenial soil, rest
ing on a pflrgns subsoil, the tap-root of
a tree of moßt ally kind, will extend
farther, by actual measurement, into (
the earth, when the tree i three or four ■
years oMLflian the fop has grown up- j
ward. But, when the trees have been '
produced from pieces of roots planted
in nursery rows, they rarely send down ,
tap-roots. Gonseqam dPSjfuch trees can ,
be taken up and transplanted far more ,
advantageously than if thfr.top root was \
severed and left in the ground. So .
long as vegetation does ot suffer from \
protracted drouths ft win make no dif- ,
ference whether a tree has a tap-root or \
not. ButxVhen the roots near the sur- j
face can not imbibe one drop of moisture
out of the dry soil, if there be no tap
root to bring up moisture to the leaves, I
the fruit must mil, and the tree will re- : J
ceive such injury that the liolf-formed <
buds can not yield fruit the next season, t
Every tree ought to spring from the j
seed where that tree is to grow. If at
hole a few feet in diameter were dng c
eight feet deep, and filled with sods or c
mellow soil, and on apple seed or a pair 1
seed, chestnut or hickory nut were s
planted in autumn, and the soil kept {
clean, or were mulched during summer, t
when the land is poor, a tree would push r
upward over twenty feet in one decade a
of years; and if the gtomid were rich f
it would grow thirty feet in thff some t
period. ■ i'

Far mint: In the Went,
' Our reader* have heard *o much of
the great farm of Mr. SnDitut. at Burr
Oak. in Illinois. about 10tl miles from
Chicago, that titer will bo pletwxl to
( know something oI the way Mr. 8. farms
I it. Prom a lengthy description of the
farm wo copy a* follows :
' In 1868 Mr. Sulltvant commenced work
on Burr Oak with 1000 acres of com. Ho
• Knight the laml from the Government at
SUM |H*r acre, In the following .veer
. | 5000 were put iu ; in 1870, IMXkI aerea.
At the present writing he has upwanl of
11,000 aero* of corn. which promise an
average of fully forty-five l>nnhcb< to the
r j acre. Bcaidca this there are quite 5000
acres of other crops nmlcr cultivation.
But this is a comparatively small part
. of the work iloneat Burr Oak during the
i past four year*. The estate embraces
. ! exactly sixty-Ave square miles—over
, 40,000 acres. The laud, which is rolling,
in some places quite broken, is in the
forui of a square, and has been crossed
i and reeromea by wide avenues lictlged ou
either side with the Osage orange.
I'brec hundred uiiles of htslge have been
I set out, six miles of board fence built for
' entile and stock, and 150 utiles of ditch
ing (the ditches are woven feet wide, and
s average nearly two feet iu depth) have
II been done to dram the wet placet; nu
merous corn cribs, farm building, shop*
r for various work ; and a vast amount of
work of all descriptions, iu which a new
place abouuds.
Burr t>ak is u Ivehive, with no drones
( abont it. Mr. 8. being a practical man
his farm-work is jerfcct)y aystcmatiaed.
J The aceouuta show where each day'a
work has beta done, whether it is by
man or beast. His purchasea are iuvari
ably made iu large quantities. For in
stance. fifty plows, fifty cultivators, etc.
t This enables him to make terms of the
. most favorable character. The bauds.
mostly Swedes nd Germans, are guguged
t about the Ist of April, and are expected
s to stay until the Ist of January. Two
huudrod and fifty men are required at
present to work the form. These, with
' the exception of a few who bring their
owu tenuis and work by contract, arc
" assigned to the different farms and gangs.
Mr. Sulltvant is the commander-in-chief,
• Mr. J. M. Miner his brigadier ; next
twelve captains, each with three lieu ten -
- ants, each lieutenant having charge of a
sound of men. and immoiliately reapon
. stole to the captain or head of the farm
. for their work.
Besides the organized form gangs,
there M a considerable force constantly
e niployed in carpenter and mason work ;
[ a regular blacksmith's shop, with its
, four or five smiths ; men constantly busy
in the repair of machinery ; tlie harness
shop, wagoi.-shop, |winters. In the fall
of the year Mr. Sullivant finds it necos
' aary to detuil a certain number of men
as gunners to kill or drive away the in
numerable dock* of wild geese and ducks
• w hieh would otherwise tlestroy thousands
' of bushels of graiu. in s|H'akiLg of this,
' he savs : " I tried at first to equalize the j
tiling by planting a few hundred more
1 acres, but my feathered boarder* forced
me to drain some of the lakes and ponds 1
I before I could get them to come in more
reasonable force."
Kaeli evening reports of the day's work
| are made to the proprietor. Ten hours
work is required from each man, and at j
noon each .lay two hours rest is given to ;
' man and beast.
The regular farm-work of Burr Oak,
" i which is essentially a com farm, is the
breaking of raw prairie, planting, culti
vating, and harvesting. Oxen are prin
• cijwliy use-,1 in breaking, and with the
brewking-plow a furrow twenty inches in
' width is cut. This appears to lie merely
• a turning of the sod, for the furrow is
, but two and a half to three inches in
> depth. This work is done during spring.
summer, ami fall, and the land, if plowed
! sufficiently early (any time before the
. 20tli of June), inay be at once planted
[ with corn, which is not cultivate,! or
worked in any way until it is harvested.
The yield will average twenty bushels to
the acre, brvakiug is rated at 92,75 per
acre aud planting twenty-five cents. A
bushel of com will fully plant eight sens
' of land. A man and team will phiut
twelve and a half seres, and ran the fur-;
I I rows to guiding stoke. This is sum
mer or fall work. In the spring follow-
F ing this laud is harrowed, planted, aud ;
i j cultivated in the same manner as old
• land. The crop abundantly repays the
, out.'ay. Old ground is plowed from the '
i Ist of April until the 10th of June. •
With a steel plow and horses or mules,
two and a quarter acres is u fair day's i
work. A man and four yoke of oxen
[ will harrow, with gang-harrows, from
. twenty-five to thirty acres per diem, j
i The cultivation is done entirely by
machinery, and very completely, the i
p numlH-r of times the crop is gone over
f depending on thccoudition of the ground
—generally from three to four. Some !
I idea of this cultivation of corn by ma-'
t chinerv may be gathered from the men
■ tion that in one single field the writer
saw no leas than 123 cultivators, each
worked by one man and two mules or
horses. Scattered about at convenient
points were l<ovs with low tracks or
wagons, on which were casks filled with
' water, to be used for drinking purposes
by the workers. Burr Oak is a temper
i anco farm—whisky bring only used for
snake bites ; even then its owner is doubt
■ ful whether the whisky will not injure
the man more than the snake bite. The
j work of cultivation finished, the crop j
is said to lie laid up, aud breaking, j
ditching, and other faini-work is in order
until the harvest, at which time the men
are told off in squads composed of two
gongs of six to a gang. A laws, two
wagons, and four horses are allotted to
: each sqnad. A gang takes five rows of
corn, and an average of fifty bushels of
: corn is cribbed for every man's day'*
work. The cribs are long wooden sheds j
of sixty-four feet length, twelve feet J
width, and twelve feet height, with the
roof stooping four feet. They are set in j
couples at favorable points', and crib
three thousand bushels each. When a
shipment of grain is to lie made, power
sbellers are sot to work between the
cribs. Trains an* contracted for through
to New York, thus avoiding two or three
commissions, as well as elevator risks and
charges—in a!l a saving of nearly the
cost of producing the groin. The corn is
bright yellow, and brings in the market
a good price.
The machinery in use at Burr Oak
would handsomely stock two or three
agricultural implement stores : 150 steel
plows, of different styles; 75 breaking
plows; 142 cultivators, of several de
scriptions ; 45 corn-plnnters ; 25 gang
j harrows, etc. The ditching-plow, a huge
i affair of eighteen feet in length, with a
! share of eleven feet by two feet ten
inches, is worked by sixty-eight oxen and
| eight men. These finish from three to
i three and a half miles of excellent ditch
<nch day of work. The oldest hedges
(Osage orange) are but three years'
growth, but now staud full seven feet
high, and much of it is pig-tight. Even
here machinery is called in. and the rows
are clipped by a sort of an upright
mower. The nursery for young trees
and plants is well stocked, and many
years will not elapse before Bnrr Oak has
other groves than the one from which it
derives its name. It is proposed to pre
sently sink artesian wells, which will
generally strike the water-vein at the
depth cf 145 to 150 feet.
The stock of Burr Oak is at present
350 mules, fifty horses, and fifty yoke of
cattle. There may be 1000 or 1200 hogs,
and a magnificent herd of milch cows,
mostly Durhams, and very valuable.
An entire section of land is devoted to
raising produce for feeding stock and
hands. There aro 2500 acres of tame
gross, which will cut an average of a ton
and a half to the acre ; besides this much
wild grass is out.
A NEW DODGE.— A new thieving dodge
is out, as practised on railroads with
success by females who cuter the ears,
and finding a gentleman Hitting alone,
ask if the other seat is occupied. The
I gentleman at once motions her to be
| -ated, when she politely asks him if he
wen't allow her to sit by the win.-ow.
0f course this request is also granted ;
and Bi.'e becomes seated. Presently she
fb ids that there is not air enough in the
car,, aud requests the gentleman to raise
the window. He at once rises to do so,
and as he leans over her she picks his
pocket or removes his watch, which she
pas ies to a male confederate in the
nexi \ sept behind.
Improved Stack.
The present high prion of thorough
bred stunk, while it limit* the business
of breeding to uteu of capital, does not
neooMuriljr prevent the ordinary farmer
frotn procuring male animals wherewith
to improve his native stock. A stock of :
grade cows for the dairy may IKS gradu- ]
ally gathered tip by the expenditure of
from fifty to two hundred dollars. Many
breeder* of Jersey cattle will dispone of a
young bull suit for a very small sum,
1 1 treatise its color does not suit their taste,
while iu r< spent to its pedigree, or other
useful qualities, it uiay IKS faultless. Much
an annual purchased young and well
eared for will become useful for ruising 1
calves, at a year old. A yearling heifer
of his get will, by the use of another such
auiuiai become profitable at two years
old, ami its calf pill Is* three quarters
bred, and it is quite likely to become us
valuable for the dairy ae a pure bred
atitmal that could not be purchased for
lees than |SO9 or #4OO.
The priHltioe of this cow would IKJ
seven eighth* bred, and if care Is taken
in selecting the parents, would show
; little difference from entirely pure ani
mal*. t'ooporaliou sutoug a few neigh
bors who would each procure and keep
a young bull, whose services they
might exchange with each other to pre
vent close breeding, would soon change
the appearance tut well as the productive
qualities of the aUick of quite a large
district. The mum point U> be gtumlcd
against is not to breed from any but
pure stock. All male grade nutuinls
should be cmasculatHl or go to the
butcher, while young. The uio of the
grade bull ought not to bo permitted.
Here is where many u mistake is made.
In the ootirae of four or fly# years quite
I a herd of three-quarter or seven-eighth
bred animals would accumulate, and the
profit would begin to coine iu. Ayrshire
! and Jersey cattle should be the breeds
aimed at, as these are excellently titled
for the dairy, and are profitable fed for
the butcher on ordinary farms. They
i are exceedingly tractable, quiet and
i orderly, and large milkers, and yield
uuult butter of good color aud flavor,
j The Devon and Durham are I letter
' fitted for the grazier, and would be men
suitable where beef is the objact aimed
at. Hut whatever the breed chosen, oarr
should b taken to avuid neglect, or loss
j will inevitably ensue. We have known
onsen where mouey has been iuvesttHl iu :
thorough-bred stock which has been
treated as though its I>IO.HI alone would
i be sufficient to protect it from neglect, j
exposure and starvation. The natural
consequence of such a mistake was made
a ground of complaint against the breed
et, and led to dissatisfaction and disgust
The old silage, " blood will tell," true as
it may be, is no talisman against such an
error. The retined nature of sn animal
carefully bred through many genera
tions, will often enable it to sustain much
I ill treatment, but it will not thrive under
it When possessed of a specimen of
such stock, give it fair treatment- natu-
Ei-ring is unnecessary, as it is unwise—
ut care and proper feed and attention j
will make the wvroUueut a greatly profit
able one.

the man with the iron jaw." and also a
French woman, who is denominated the
"Strong Woman."' They take with them I
also a little bov, seven years of age, who
was purclias. il in Paris by Uu- French
woman for SIOO, •specially to aid the
performance. * It was this little fellow's
duty to be thrown about by the man
• with the irou jaw iu various ways, every i
one being dangerous iu the extreme—as,
; for instance, in one scene he it fastened
to the iron-jawe-i man by a belt, and the
two are drawn up to the top of tin
tent, where the man fins a pistol aud
j is let down ; then in some way the lit
tle fellow is hoisted up the same dis
tance. lumping by an ingenious contriv

I required to aid the French woman iu
a scene where she plac* a six-pounder j
on her shoulder, and he gets tip on
her shoulder aud tin-s it off. It i ai-. t
therofore, necessary that he should not
la-come too heavy for the business.
While stooping at StonnviJle, N. V.,
tlie French woman from some eunse is
alieget] to have tied the little boy's
hands behind him and shut him in n
• room alone. .Staggering to the wirulow ,
he begged of the cook to put np a
ladder and give him a piece of broad
and butter. She hail to throw it on
the floor, when he snatched it np and
i devoured it eagerly. Another boy. Ob

i French woman of it. She at once flew
, into a rage, and going to the bov'a
room it is said U-at him unmercifully,
saving, " How dare you do so when I .
told you if you did I would pound

it ngain. He did not look as if there
; was a drop of blood in his laxly. j
When his condition wna aacertnintd, n

died the same night, aud was buried
tlie next morning. The physician has
said he died of starvation. A Pough- j

were arrested in Philadelphia some
mouths ago for cruelty to this same
child, and managed to escape punish

THF. VKRY SAMR. —An anecdote of
Peter Hinds, a well-known stage driver
of New Hampshire, is worth telling.
Early one season Peter had his coach
overhauled, and painted to look as
?;ood as new. Just as he had set his
ace down a steep hill he heard a shout
behind him : " Hallo, you there I hold
on s spell, will ye ?" Peter drew up his
two horses on the slant of the hill with
great difficulty, and waited until the
man came up, who walked leisurely
round the oouch, and then looking up
to Peter, said : " I guess, artcr nil, that
that's the same coach you had last
year." Like a flash, Peter smacked his
wlup across the fellow's face, shouting,
"Yes, by thunder ! end the same whip,
too 1" and headed for Concord at a two
forty rate.

Now AND THEN. -The Chamber qf Agrm
' culture Jam nal speaks of the great change
produced in the morals of farmers by
t he introduction of agricultural machines.
I'nder the old system of hand labor, j
harvest time was a Mason of feeding and
swilling from mnraing to night. The
farm kitchen was converted into a place
not unlike the tap room of a public
j house ; and when extra rapidity of work
was requinil the usual way of obtaining
it was to supply the laborer* with almost
unlimited quantities of food and drink.
Flitcbro of bacon, cm*k after cask of ale
and cider were brought out and diaap-1
fx-a ml with moat remarkablo celerity. I
A* the result, harvest time aa* the time j
of drunkenness, and consequently—for
boom cannot drink without becoming !
I brutes—-fighting, aeeidenta, and immo
rality wore the order of the day. Inebri
ated reapers armed with sickle* would
assault each other, and bloody Iwttlro
would ensue ; or they would tumble off
ladder* and corn stack*, ami roll inglori
ously tinder wagon wheels— proceedings |
which not at all make one believe in the
poetic myth of the reaper* merrily ring
ing "harvest home." The introduction
of machinery on the farm ha* largely
done away with this, and in lieu of the
time-honoied bacon and lieer, laborer*
receive a full equivalent in wages, and
thus the machine becomes a great moral
engine.

The English Mine Disaster,
From our English paper* we have
details of the sad disaster which took
place at Wigan, England, and in which
tIU persona Tost their lives. These col
j lieries have only been at work a few
; year*, and the pit in which the frightful
: disaster took place was ouly eommenred
last October, with a view of workiug
the Wigwn nine--foot seam, or the ait
fixit aeaui, aa it is called iu other parts
of the country.
Although everything tliat skill aud
science could accomplish to reuder its
; working secure has been done, yet it
! must be iulmitUsl that the miner* go
| down to work it with their lives literally
jin their liamls. The men, bad, however,
great confidence in the manngemeut.
The niue-fiHit seam is worked at a depth
if 4HO vurds, but the depth of the pit ia
l alxnit tllU yards, lie low the nine-foot,
j which travels north aud south, ia the
| cannel scam, which ia soma hundred
| yards tielow. Both these seauis are
worketl by the downcast shaft, aud the
owner* are extending the upcast work
ings to the Arley ae*m, which liro to a
| still greater depth. A l>arty of siukers
were at wmrk at tlie time in the upcast
shaft. The explosion occurred at 11
o'clock in tlie morning, sixty-three men
aud Ixiys being employed in tlie uine
■ foot level, fifty in tlie caiutel mum, be-
I aides six siuker*. Three of throe sink
era were in the art of demi*ndiug the
iqicost shaft to join Uleir fellows at tlie
bottom, when from the downcast shaft
came that terrible sound, like the die
| charge of a cannon, which told the fear
ful tale of the occurrence of another ex
ploriou. There followed almost im
| mediately a fearful diacliarge of soot and
smoke from the upcast, which hung like
a poll over tlie Kurrotiudiug district.
At the downcast shaft the stage, which
was standing on a raised platform, was
hurled from its |orition, aud tlie banks
man had a most narrow escape, while
at the second shaft tlie gearing suffered
*o complete a wreck tliat the browntnan.
(>ukit, is at a loss to know how he escaped
from the wreck with his life. As it was,
lie suffered severe bruises, and had to
be taken home in a conveyance. Parties
of workmen were quickly act to work.
At the ti{toast shaft the winding appara
tus was repaired, so that the "lioppett"
might be drawn up, which was still
tianging iu the shaft. It took over an
hour to accomplish this work. When at
last the cage was brought to the surface
many anxious eyes were directed toward
it, as a faint hope was entertained that
the sinkers mignt be still in it. It was,
however, empty, and no further doubt
could be entertained of the fate of the
men. A cap which was found in the
gearing above tlie shaft was supposed to
■ have lieluoged to one of throe men.
The " lioppett" wss then lowered with
great caution with three mm as far as
tlie cannel seam. After a short interval
the cage waa raised, and it brought back,
amid the breathless ailenoe of the spec
tators. five colliers, who anuounoed, to
the relief of some of the anxious re
latives who crowded tlie hank, that all
was safe in tho cannel seam, but tliat
the explosion had occurred in the
" nine-loot." The fifty men who work
<>d in the cannel som were quickly
brought to bank, and every one'a ener
gies were then directed to the establish
ment of a communication by means of
fie downcast shaft, by which means
alone the " nine-foot" could be reach
ed. A short distance above the nine
foot is the four-fool. It was believed
that there were no men iu this part of
the eollery at the time of the explosion,
but when"the first exploring party de
scended they found at the mouthing
tho underlooker, the furnaeeman, and
n bricksctter. These were all alive,
and were at once sent to the surface.
The explorers then descended to tbe
nine-foot, where s terrible scene was
presented. Here the full force of the,
< xplosion appeared to have taken place.
Timbers and brokeu curves were strewn
atiottt, and here and there lay the dead,
the majority of whom were most fear
fully mutilated by the scathing force of
the fire-damp and the violence of tlie
projectiles which were burled along the
causeways. The living were crying
bitterly for water, which, with other TO
-locatives, wss supplied to them by the
willing hand* of the brave men who w ere
risking their lives to save them. The
exploring party was in charge of Mr.
John Bryham. son of the manager of
i Hose Bridge Collerics, and Mr. William
! Piekard, miners' agent The living
were at first sent up. sud one of the men
in the agonies of iiia dying struggles,
nearly threw himself out of the lioppett
His agony was so acute that it took four
men to hold him. He died shortlv
after he got to the surface. Mr. Piekard,
■•n coming to the surface reported tliat
the pit wa* on fire in both levels of
the nine-foot but especially in the
voutli level. It was then determined
I to send down s number of extineteurs
and s supply of buckets to quench the
fire. Up to this time ten men had
i lieen brought up, seven from the nine
foot and three from the fonr-foot. one
iof th<* former having died. Everything
appeared to go on favorably for a
! further examination of the workings,
when, shortly after 3 o'clock, those who
were standing on the hank noticed a
cessation of the smoke in the upcast
! shaft, followed by two guata of wind,
which indicated that another explosion
1 had occurred. Great from were felt for
the safety of the exploring party under
Mr. John Bryham, consisting of a!ont
t<-n jicrwona * The eagt waa in the shaft
at the time, and it is needless to add
that tho winding was carried on aa
quickly as safety would permit. The
excitement waa now most intense. Tho
cage, amid a suspense in which minutes
seemed like hours, wa* quickly brought
to the surface, but it was not until tho
thinl ascent tliat Mr. Bryham appeared
in the hoppett. The entire exploring
party reached the surface in safety, but
some of them had made some very nar
row cecapea. They reported that there
had lieen a great many falls of roof, and
the blast bad overturned everything and
extinguished the light*. Mr. Bryham
was, at the time, examining an opening,
and he might have been lost if he had
not lieen in company with some one
conversant with the workings. The
matter was anxiously debated, and tbe
engineers came to the conclusion that
they would alloWr no more explorers to
go down in tho pit, ss it would be run
ning a serious rizk to life. It was felt
that there was no chance of any more
men being alive in the pit, and it was
determined to stop the downcast shaft,
in order to extinguish the fire which wn*
now raging in the pit. The number of
liodics in uie pit i* sixty-nine, of whom
six are sinkers.
The American Institute Fair.
The annual fairs of the American In
stitute seem now likely to be aa regularly
held at the Empire Rink, Third Avenue.
New York, as they were in old times at
Caatle Garden. That is, thry will lie
held there until the Institute erects a
building for a perpetual Industrial Ex
hibition, for lie it known that the direc
tors have such a plan under considera
tion, and although it can only be carried
out at an estimated coat of 82,000,000,
the project seems to lie in a fair way of
realization. While this perpetual exhi
bition is assuming definite shape and
approaching accomplishment, they arc
contented to accommodate themselves
with the Rink, which is each year en
larged for their accommodation. The
original interior area of this buildiug
was 61,250 square feet To this 9,720
square feet were added in 1809, and a
similar amount in 1870; and at least
13,000 square feet of floor and gallery
have been added this year, to meet the
increased demand for space. This last
increase has been mndo by extending
the building up to Third Avenue, which
involved the erection of a wooden ad
dition 105 feet deep by 48 wide, forming
a spacious entrance and providing room
for a suite of offices and a dining-room
on the Jground floor, with an extensive
art gallery on the second floor.
An invalid once complained to his
neighbor of a Shanghai which the latter
kept. The bird was a terrible nuisance,
and gave him no peace day or night.
"But," said the skeptical owner, "mv
cock only crows a few times a day. I
don't see how that can annoy you so
much." "Becauae," replied the sufferer,
"you don't take into account the times I
when lam expecting him to crow." I

too early to get up yet; " I said to lier r
" Being as I am up, I gueaa I will dress
myself ;" as I wa* drroaed I went out
into the hall. I saw If r. Haggerty come
out of the door with a bundle of pefNir*
under his arm, aud bring them up to

was tied with a pink ta|x or ribbon.

Ou Thursday morning, when Mr.
Haggerty came into the kitchen, be

"Mary." I aaid, "Hir." Haid he, "I

On Saturday night 1 went down to

would awror to; she told me that I
could do aa I cboae about it—that 1
might go against Mr. Haggerty if I

I went down to the market again on

In 1866 a company of eleven gentle
