denly fell to the ground, bathed in blood
One of the wretches had lifted the iron bar
and struck with it his heroic comrade.
He was carried dying to the hospital, and,
ere he breathed his last, he uttered one word
it was "Fine-Ear."
Must tell it J the rat appeared restless
and unhappy for few days, but he soon for
got his master, and began to testify the same
affection for his new owner that he had for
merly shown to him who was dead.
Fine-Ear still lives, fat, and sleek, and
strong; indeed, he no longer fears his feline
enemies, and has actually succeeded in kill
ing a full-grown cat and three kittens. But
he no longer remembers the dead, nor re-
CARDS the sound of his masters number,
which formerly used to make him prick up
his ears and run from one end of the court
to the other.
Does it only prove that rats, as well as

PRESERVING Corn FROM WoRMs.-In the
spring Of lS47, we ploughed up an acre in
a corner of a six acre meadow which had
been several years in grass, and the whole
of which was infested with cut worms and
the yellow wire worm. The acre was plan
ted with corn, and totally destroyed by the
worms. Late the ensuing fall, the whole field
was manured and turned over smoothly;
tn spring Of 1913 it was sown with barley,
which was very much injured by the worms
lin many places entirely destroyed. In
September. it was sown with wheat with the
same result as with the barley. In the
spring of 1850, we manured it with fresh
barnyard manure, turned it under; harrow
ed and marked three feet and half apart
by two and half. and planted corn four
grains in hill, the first Of June. 1t came
up in five to seven days, and is now very
promising piece, as forward as any planted
in May.
The seed was soaked in decoction Of
pound of tobacco in four gallons of water.
There were plenty of worms in the ground,
as | found in planting and hoeing. but they
would not touch the tobacco-scented corn,
while there was not single weed to be
found, and indeed they did no small benefit
in destroying the grass and weeds. The
field was kept clean of everything but corn
as well as could be. At the first hoeing
observed large mullen plant. the leaves of
which were eaten through like riddle, and
by digging around it found over twenty

THE LAsr DOG STORY.


The advantages of advertising are admi-
rably illustrated in the following incident,
which we find recorded in the last Sandus-
ky Democrat:
Mr.. Luke Horton, of South Eighth street,
keeps dog called La Vega, an ill-favored,
fierce-eyed brute, whose untidy habits and
cross-grained temper caused him to be held
in detestation by the family in general, and
by Mrs. Horton, bis mistress, in particular.
La Vega, however, is great favorite with
his master.
About week ago Mrs. Horton became
exasperated on account of some unendurable
offence committed by La Vega, and private
ly bargained with an old collector Of soap-fat
named Abe Walker, who, for dollar fee,
agreed to take the dog off and "render him
up" into tallow, or otherwise relieve Mrs.
Horton from the annoyance OF his presence.
Mrs. Horton, on coming home to dinner,
inquired for La Vega, and was chagrined
with the information that his troublesome
pet had absconded. For some days the abb
sence of La Vega gave occasion for much
rejoicing in the household, and even the
grief of Mr. Horton FOR his loss was made the
subject of many sly joke in his domestic
establishment.
Mrs. H. congratulated herself excessive
ly on that lucky thought of hers, which
cleared the house Of the odious brute; and
though lady who thinks great deal of a
dollar she did not grudge the money, since
it gained her object SO effectually. In the
mean time La Vega was detained close
prisoner in the cellar of the soap factory, a
musing himself by swapping at the rats
which coursed about the premises, and sus-
tanned himself, like Napoleon at Elba, with
the belief that the objects of his destiny were
not vet accomplised.
On Tuesday morning Mr.. Horton appear
ed at the breakfast table with beaming
countenance. "Well, my dear, good news %
said he to Mrs. H. "What is it," asked
the lady with some secret misgiving. '1've
La Vega back again Advertised for him
offered reward for his recovery, and this
morning he was brought home by Abe Wal
ker."
"Heavens" calculated Mrs. Horton
"what did you have to pay for him p con
ly eleven dollars, replied Horton, zone for
advertisement, and ten to old Abe for bring
ing him back" "Merciful goodness |" re-
piled the unsympathizing wife. eleven
dollars (enough to buy silk dress) for the
recovery of such nasty cur and to think
that gave the black rascal dollar for TAX
ing him off,
This inadvertent confession, of course,
produced matrimonial duel the report Of
which we omit, as it might appear stale and
commonplace to some of our married readers
BY this little canine speculation all par
ties were gamers. Abe Walker, the cum
ming darky, gained ten dollars; the adver-
tising sheet gained one dollar, and MIR. and
Mrs. Horton gained some valuable expert
ence which will teach them the importance
of mutual confidence between welded par.
ties

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE
The trial of case of breach of promise of
marriage, is in progress before the District
Court in Philadelphia. The Statesman says !:
The plaintiff is young gentleman appa-
rently about 25 years of age named Samuel
+. Earl, having prepossessing and intel
lectual cast of countenance, and is an artist
of some merit in the line of portrait paint
ing. The lady is rich widow of the city
of Reading, enjoying the euphonious name
of Esther Frances Packer. She has been q
handsome woman, and still bears the traces
of beauty in her face, though she must have
passed the meridian life. Itappears from
the letters which passed between the par
ties, and which were read in court to high
iy delighted auditory, that the youthful Acia
had been wooed by the Reading Galatea for
the space of two years, during which time
protestations of friendship and vows of love
were lavishly bestowed the one upon the
other. But ''the course Of true love never
did run smooth" and the letters read would
indicate that such was the fact in this par
ticular case. That the lady has sly vein

plaintiff, tired of attempting to rival Apelles
with his brush and easel determined to play
the Triton, and betook himself to the waters
of Long Island Sound, his lady-love being
at the time somewhere on the opposite
shore, in Connecticut. In writing to her ar
account of his pastimes in the Sound, ht
apprises her of his skill in catching sleeps

plies 'that she is not at all surprised at tha

1NoCULATIoN WITH THE VENOM OF RAT
TLEsNAKEs.-ln a work called, 'Life in
Mexico, recently published, the fair author
gives the following account: "We have just
been hearing a curious circumstance con-
nected with poisonous reptiles, which have
heard for the first time. Here, and all
along the coast the people are in the
habit of inoculating themselves with the poi
son of the rattlesnake which renders them
safe from the bite of all venomous animals.
The person to be inoculated is pricked with
the tooth of the serpent on the tongue,
in both arms, and various parts of the
body, and the venom introduced into the
wounds. An eruption comes out, which
lasts for few days. Ever after, these per-
sons can handle the most venomus snakes
with impunity; can make them come by
calling them; have great pleasure in fond
ling them; and the bite of these persons is
poisonous You will not believe this; but
we have the testimony of seven or eight re-
spectacle merchants to the fact. A gentle
man who breakiasted hero this morning.
SAYS that he has been vainly endeavoring to
make up his mind to submit to the operation
as he is obliged to travel great deal on
the coast and when he goes on these expe-
ditions, he is always accompanied by his
servant an inoculated negro, who has the
power of curing him, should he be bitten,
by sucking the poison from the wound. He
also saw this negro cure the bite given by
an inoculated Indian boy to a white boy
with whom he was fighting, and who was
the strongest Of the two: The stories of the
eastern jugglers, and their power over these
reptiles, may, perhaps, be accounted for il
this way. | cannot say that should like
to have SO much snaky nature transferred
into my composition, nor to live among peo
pie whose bite is venomous."
New Motive PowER.-An engine ha.
been completed at the American Machine
Works, in springfield, in which air takes thu
place of steam as the expansive force. /
is to be sent to the Worlds Fair. 1t is sals
to work well, and shows that air can pro
duce the same effect as steam, with on,
twentieth part Of the fuel, and less DANCE

If all this be true, the inventor must hav,
found some new way Of making available
force. which has often been tried befor
with no success 10 be compared with steam
power.
