difficulty ascertsined where they had found

wall had fallen to ruin; the skull was iound
in the darkest corner, where il had been

and an entire skeleton brought to light,

Berrills arrest was commanded by warrant.
He had got tidings of the affair, had sent bis

was arrested. The Misses Barratt were al.
so brought to Englund, and bore witness, at
the inquest, and before the magistrates, to
the disagreement which had arisen betwixt
DuvOlt and Berrill. 1t appeared they had
all along strongly suspected the latter Of
foul play. A pistol was found at Berrill's
house, hidden in the recesses OF a secret
closet; the makers name was cn it; he was
sought, found, and was able to testify that
the weapon was purchased by Mr. Berrill
some four days previous to Duvalt's disop-

to having, at his request, made inquiries re-.

How 10 Keep Fat Cattle.

Good hay is no only the basis of fatten-
ing, if YOU feed in winter, but all you
need for wintcring stock which is in good
order in the fall. A skillful farmer can
mike healthy cattle grow all winter by
taxing his ingenuity to see how much good
hay he can manage to get them to eat (;
and this is the great secret in keeping
stock. He who attempts the experiment,
rs very many do, of trying to winter cat
tie on The least possible quantity of hay,
will find himself in the end in very much
the condition of the economist who tried
to see with how much salt he could winter
his pork. When warm weather came,
however, to his great astonishment he had
not only lost his salt, but his pork.-[Dick-
inson's Address.

that the work devolved on the Republican

New-England, New-York, Ohio and the North
West, the Republican banner floats in tri-
umph; while in Southern Jersey, Pennsylva-

RIGA might distinguish those portions of our
country most blessed with Education, %Intelli-
gence, Thrift and Virtue, by scanning the re-
turns Of the Presidential contest of 1886. We
have failed of present success, not because
the People are against us, but because that
large portion who did not hear or read the ar

questions n issue, went almost solid against
us, reversing the verdict which the great ma

in the proportion of II pound maize leaf
to four ounces Of quassia, and half an
