Not returning to the house within a reasonable time search was instituted, and she was found in the barn in an unconscious condition and the evidences of severe bruises in the fa. The unfortunate lady had evidently received rough hand ling at some one's hands. Her face was badly cut, but whether she was subjected to outrages of a more serious nature it is impossible to tell, as she has since been in such a men tal condition as not to be able to give much information. Detectives at once took the matter in hand and by night fall arreed a yonng man of the neighborhood, named John Lucka baugh, aged twenty-one years.

John Butterton, a young man of North Hammonton, N. J., purchased a horse in Philadelphia, on Wednes day, and had proceeded as fir on his way home as Kirkwood, when, pass ing through a belt of timber where some wood-choppers were at work, a tree fell across the road . in front of him. The horse took fright, dashed wildly through the woods and across the fields- to the railroad, and there, coming in contact with a passing train, man and horse were precipita ted down the embankment together. The horse was instantly killed, but Mr. Butterton escaped with a 'few scratches. On Tuesday night a week, in the eastern part of Bartholomew county, Ind., a ni'ib masked and armed, seized Samuel Kwing and hung hiiu till be was nearly dead, and stood over bim with a cocked pistol trying to extort from biui a confession tbat be bad poi soned Dr. Biddiuger's borses, the doc tor having lost seven by poisoning. The mob utterly failed aud abandoned the prisomr. Oo Thursday the parents of three children namd Shutter, residing at Stepbeoville, N. Y , locked thero in t!,e bouse and went off to enjoy a visit with a neighbor. bile tbey were abroad tbe children played witb tbe fire, and one of tbem was burned to death. A little daughter of C Hamiltop, an I employe in a paper mill at Coeymins, N. y., on Thursday, fell on tbe water wheel and was instantly killed. Women are less given to suicide than men are, and married people than tbe nnmarricd.

Russian immigrants bave domestic ated in Minnesota the brick lined por celain stove wbicb every one who bas been in Germany associates with bis residence tbern, and remembers kiudlv for the even and healthful beat which it diffuses, if not for its cheerful aspect. Since these stoves are air-tig'jt, aod bence economise fuel, their introduction in regions wbere ooal and wood are scarce is a matter of importance. It bas been found tbat prarie hay serves to produce a comfortable heat when burnt d in these stoves, and machinery for compressing it bas been put on tho market. It is said tbat a horse which can walk five miles an hour is worth more tban either Maud S. or St Julien, and would probably walk to San Francisco before either of those two horses could trot there. Tbe horse should be trained to walk. A good walker will travel more miles in a day tban a fast trotter. The average yield of Indian corn per acre throughout the United States is 29.2 bushels, of an average value per bushel of 371 cents.
