Quite a scheme has been suggested for the
benefit of couples intendidg matrimony in
Hartford. Is is that ten or a dozen couples

ing the festivities with a banquet. The wed-1 warrant ayainst* his own mother. The
ding tour con d be taken in by the whole

ence, the unbroken and unmistaka
ble experience of a long series of
years—has proven all this so conclu
sive that no elaboration of the theme
is necessary. Instead of bettering
their condition every year, instead
of gradually snrroundiug themselves
with comforts, elevating their child
ren and accumulating independence,
our farmers have either stood still or
retrogated. They drag along a
hand to mouth existence, finding
themseives no better off at t li£ end of
a years hard work, growing older
and losing strength and energy—
There is no essential reason why
these things should be. Our lands
are more generous than those of the
North,our climate is more propitious,
and, so far from the circumstances
being unfriendly, they g re exactly
the reverse and in the highest possi
ble degree. Why then, should our
farmeis remain in the mire while the
march of progress leaves them far
behind? Upon the prompt and in

related the following: “One of tbe mott

his instrument of isicendiatisin. He first got
the cat, then he tied her up for two days
without food. He then went our and

well filled, on the counter; around the globe
of the lamp he hung a wire hoop, on the
outer edge of which was secured the codfish.
Below the counter he had piled the necessa
ry preparations for a quick ignition. All
being in readiness he cut the cat loose,closed
bis door and departed.
coroner’s inquest developed the above
facts. No explanation is offered for
the mother’s brutal act toward her
son’s wife. The case is attracting
great attention from the fact that the
sole witness against Mrs. Parker is
her own son. She was held in de
fault of $25,000 bail.

committed suicide during the night
while delirious form typhoid fever.
He had been sick the past few days
but was perfectly rational. During
the day a large number of visitors
called, and the excitement was too
much for the patient. Late in the
evening his wife, who was attending
him, noticed a change, and went out
in the hall to get assistance from
some of the professors, Returing to
the sick man, she found her hus
band lying upon the bed iu a pool
of blood. Daring her absence the
delirious man had obtained his pen
knife, with which he had been
trimming his finger nails earlier in
the evening, and with it cut his
throat upon both sides. He then cut
a deep gash across his abdomen, and
finally plunged the knife into his
breast over the heart, where it re
mained imbedded.

Battle was crossing the bridge over
the Ocraulgee river, near the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad, and stretch about halfway
across. While seated in the narrow
railing of the bridge, his attention
w: s attracted by an object cp the
river. While looking at it he lost
his balance and fell backwards. His
friend standing on the bridge became
paralyzed with fear for the moment
■and rushed to the side of the bridge
to see him madly struggle for life
with the waves, when he struck the
water he s^nk, and his companions
thought he Lad been killed. In a
few seconds he rose and made a strug
gle fer ihe shore. IFhen he reached
the bank he was .exhausted from
fright and fatigue. He had fallen
from the distance of about 40 feet
and was saved by the depth of the
water. He was taken home by fri
ends and placed under medical treat
ment, and is now in his usual health
and spirits.
Miss Astoe’s wedding Dress.—
The wedding dress was made by
worth and is said to be the handsom
est that ever left his establishment,
and is one of the finest ever brought
to America. The entire dress is
made of white satin, embroidered by
the most skillful fingers in Pairs.
The design is a clump of roses done
in threads of silver. This delicate
work on the soft shining background
glistens like the sun on new fallen
snow, and is certainly most appro
priately termed ”frest-work.” The
front and sides of the skirt ore artis

sleeves reaching ta tbe elbow, and
finished with wide ruffles of point
lace. A plaiting of the same lace
completes the neck trimming. Tbe

with diamonds and orange blossoms,
then, falling to the floor, extends two
yards upon the train.

Messrs. Douglass Bros.
Gents: The Ground Limestone
purchased last spring I sowed broad*
cast on an old meadow that had been
mowed for a long time, and had lie*
come very badly run. It is clay
soil. I am satisfied that where the
Ground Lime wa§ sown the crop was
increased fifty per cent. Its effects
were plainly to be seen while the
grass was growing and up to the
time of mowing. The spring before
I sowed Plaster on a part of the
same meadow, but am satisfied that
the Lime did me the best service.

Montegomry, Pa., June 15, 1880
Messrs. Douglas Bros.
I have tried Carbonate of Lime
(ground Limestone) as a Fertilizer,
on about fifteen acres of corn, last
season. I planted it with the corn,
using about 400 pounds to the acre,
and have to report that although in
the farming business in my infancy
and my father before me, I havu
never seen such thrifty corn gro v
out of the earth as that grown from
the use of this Carbonate of Lime.
The ears were longer, grains fuller,
and certainly turned out more bush
els to the acre Usan any corn I ever
raised, and I believe it to be tho
cheapest and best Fertilizer in the
country. John G. Bear.
