It is u»-ct-scaly to take into consideration

to raise the lands, as well as nearness to

avoided are too thick planting, causing
a great amount of thinning, and putting

Corn Smit anh Oattur.—I n the fall
of the year there is always frequent
complaint of cattle dying after lsung

very to or
smut so common on the stalks. One
farmer will affirm that he knows this to
la* the cause, having seen the results so
plainly and so many times that there is
no jvusHiblo room to doubt it. Another
testifies with equal energy and certainty
that his cattle have eaten corn stunt time
and time again, and that not the least
injury has iuqqs nixl. If this fungus is
a poison it must always mierate in the

poison one man just as quickly as an¬

animal, and if corn smut can lie eaten
with impunity by one herd of cows it can
lie eaten with impunity by nil cows.
That cattle do eat it without injury we

- A LOTTERY OF DEATH.
A Skull, »lor, ot Mmfcy’a CaniaaaA
A writer In the Philadelphia Weekly
Tiroes relates the following story Of the
war as told to him by a soldier of Mosby’a
command:
“ On arriving at Bectorville, command Virginia,
we found CoL Mosby with full
drawn up in line, and he himself in con¬
sultation with bin principal officers. One
of these finally advanced toward the
s piad which guarded the union prisoners
and gave orders to draw them up in line.
The adjutant then rode forward and read
an order stating that seven of our men
having determined U-en recently hung by th e enemy pris¬
it was that seven of the
oners should be hung in retaliation, and
that lots for these seven would be im¬
mediately drawn. A scene ensued which
will be impressed upon my memory un¬
til the day of my death, A ci j of an
guish and consternation arose from the
unfortunate prisoners. with Borne Col. implored
the guard to intercede Mosby
and have them excluded from the draw¬
ing, two of them declaring that they were
merely sutlers, ami not fighting men,
never having fired a gnr. at a Houthem
soldier. Others Federal said they had been
drafted into the army contrary to
their wishes and were friendly to the
Mouth. Others desert again expressed a will
.gu,’ is to that army and join our
standard. While this tempestuous ap¬
peal for lift, was going laxly on among these
poor follows, the main of prisoners
heard the awful sentence with deep de¬
jection but sullen resolution.
“ In the course of twenty minutes,
two officers approached, one of them
holding a hat, in which had been placed
a number of wads or ballH ot paper, cor¬
responding wilh the number of prisoners.
Seven of these wwls Were marked, The
drawing then commenced tlie officer
with the hat requiring ball, the right hand
prisoner to handed take out a the other which when
drawn he to officer in
al tendance, who on opening pronounced
it lo be either a blank or otherwise. At
first several blanks were drawn, then
came a marked ball, which was drawn
by a cavalry soldier of Custer’s command
and bailing from Michigan. This man
very die cooly remarked his that he was prepared
to for country.
“ ‘Six men have now been drawn,’
cried the officer with the hat; ‘one more
must come.’
“The next, and last victim was adrum
mer-bov, who, upon being informed of his
fat.', uttered the most piercing cries, and,
throwing himself upon the ground, ex¬
claimed i Inti he was only n drummer-boy

begged tn Ik- spared. excited So greatly was the
pity mediately of (lie officers that they im¬
applied to Col. Mosby to spare
tld.t hoy. I to very promptly replied
that he did not know there was a hoy
among the prisoners, and ordered that he
should lie removed and the drawing
taken over again. This was done, and on
the second drawing my friend, a lieuten¬
ant, drew a marked hail. I was shocked
by this, and he was greatly distressed,
but exhibited a courageous resignation
t" his fate. Calling to him a soldier of
his company, who hail also been taken
prisoner, he requested him to take to
Ilia wife an empty pocket-book and pen¬
cil-ease, saying these were the only
souvenirs he had left when condemned
to execution, and that his last thoughts
were with his wife and mother. 1 was
deeply affected ut. his fate, and desired
to assist him if possible. Whispering to
him, I asked him if he was a Freemason,

guard) only a few hundred yards, when
wo were ordered to halt ana await fur¬

for a raid, approached ns, with orders
from Col. Mosby that wo should ho re¬

intimate friend of mine, to whom I re¬
lated the circumstances in connection
with the lieutenant, and also inform si
him that he was a Freemason. IS ring
noxious to learn their destination, I
questioned him about the recent order,
and he informed me that they had been
eommanded to take the prisoners across
the mountains anil a« near to Sheridan's
headquarters as possible, and there to
hang them. He promised me that ho
would do all that he could (consistently
with duty) in behalf of the condemned
officer. They then proceeded on their
way, and several days elapsed before I
heard anything of their movements. On
following meeting with my friend, he gave mo the

Freemason, and requested that ho would
try to save him. Uth«> hearing this
the Mountjoy requested and immediately an interview with

he crossed the street to where he kept
his own prisoners, and returned with

in charge of the prisoners as two of
Ouster’s men, whom he wished to sub¬
stitute for the lieutenant. After some
hesitation, and with the condition that
Mountjoy should assume all responsi¬

A Lecture on Oyster-Opening.
There i» a Frenchman who ha* lived
in New York for twenty-six years who
is loud in hi* complaints of the bar¬
barous manner in which oyster-opener*
in this country do their work. He say* :
“The wav to open an oyster so as to
save all the liquor, which* to connois¬
seurs is a valuable part, is not to smash
it and murder it, as most of your oyster
openers do, nor to stab it, as they do in
other Boston, places. Baltimore, Washington and
And then your oyster
openers flat always shell, lay ont the oyster on the
or convex so that by the time
your plate of • raw on the half shell’
comes to you what little juice that wa*
not spilled in the slaughtering has all
run away. The live oyster opens and
doses its shell at will by means of a
tough little membrane, or ‘hinge,’
about a quarter or a third of an inch in
length. This hinge is at the small or
narrow end of the oyster. It follows
that all that is needed to be done to sep¬
arate the two shells, whether the oyster
is alive or dead, is to sever this lit tm
hinge. It is invisible when the shells
are closed, hut those who understand
the business (aud any one can learn it in
five minntes) find know exactly how and
where to it.” He oontenda that a
man working in while the proper way can
ojien two oysters another man is
pursuing his barbarous practice with
one.
CartjYive once asked an Edinburgh stu
dont what he was studying for. The
youth his replied that he had not quite made
up mind. There was a sudden light¬
ning flash of the old Scotchman’s eye, a
sudden pulling down of the shaggy eye¬
brows, and the stem face grew sterner
as he said: “The man without a purpose
is like the ship without a rudder; a waif,
in a nothing, life, if it a no man. Have a purpose
is only to kill and divide and
sell oxen well, but have a purpose; and
having ond it, throw such strength of mind
musle into your work as God has
given you. ”

said: “The goodness of gold is tried by
