Hrothces


A man named Joha W. Halsted left
his home in the interior Of Illinois, last
week, aud with bis sister started for Cal
ifornis. Arriving il this city they took
passage on the steamer Arctic for Bufa-
10. Before the boat started Mr.. Halsted
manifested unmistakable signs Of insan
ity. He frothed at NE mouth. talked
wildly to his sister, end scted insanely in
other ways. His sister deemed It bsst to
60 ashore with him. She did 80, and BY
advice Of some friends, took him to Mr..
Edwards tavern in Newburg, where, away
from noise and hustle she hoped he would
speedily recover. In the night she wss
aroused BY hearing The window Of the
room which adjoined hcrs, open. She
hastened to the room and found that her
brother had Jumped to the ground and
was running wildly across the fields. -
Quickly throwing on dress, but not
stopping to put on her shoes and stock
ings, she pursued him aud nearly over
took him, calling piteously on him to
stop, but he answered that men we're close
on his heels who wanted to murder him,
aud he could not stop. ....4
Through the woods and swamps in .
strange land, barefootcd and in the night,
this noble woman pursued her mad broth
er to Chagrin Falls, distance of twelve
miles. He knew her, and would every
now and then allow her to almost over
take him. He would speak kindly to her,
but would not stop, as the murderers
we're lurking near to kill him. At the
Falls, through the aid of some Of the cit
liens, she succeeded in capturing him

The unfortunate man is apparently
about thirty -three years old. Religious
excitement is supposed to be the cause of
his insanity. The attack was very sud

To Prerent the Worm IN Peach Trees
Clear away the dirt in April, from about the
roots of the tree then take small sheaf of
straw-the size of the tree-wheat straw
will answer, but rye is better-place it neatly
around the body of the tree, with small
cord-adjust the straw then evenly around
the base of the trunk, aud throw the dirt
back upon the lower ends of the sheaf This
prevents the earth from coming in contact
with the bark of the trees when the moth
deposits egg, and will always effectually pre-
vent the depredations of the peach tree worm
The straw leaves the bark of the tree in a
very clean and swathy condition, while the
tar or pitch binds and destroys the bark,
leaving it IN very unhealthy state One
application of straw will last one whole sea-
son.
