The late Rail Road Accident...Statement
of Passengers.

The Rochester Democrat publishes
the statements of several passengers
who were on the train at the time of
the accident, going thence eastward.
The following are extracts:
Mrs. DIR. Geare, of Cincinnati, a
daughter of J. w. Wilson, ESQ.,, of
Penfield, and on her way thither, was
in the middle car, and providentially
escaped any serious injuries, although
scratched and burised in MANY places.
The car was about half turned over,
and standing at an angle Of forty.Jtce
degrees, she could escape only by climb
ing to the rear. On emerging from the
car, in company with Mrs. Mark
ham Of Auburn, they found themselves
at an elevatioas Of fifteen feet from the
ground, but fearing the car might tilt
over. they jumped down and sunk so
deep in the sand as to be unable to ex-
tricate themselves without assistance.
Mrs. Geare lost her bonnet, shoes and
stockir gs, and was obliged to remain
in this uncomfortable plight for several
hours, until assistance had been pro-
cured from Hamilton.
Mr.. William Cox, of Philadelphia,
says: s-

rear end of the train. The first imti-

nothing visible OF it except the tops OF

passed over the engine and appeared
to be split in two so that the water
tanks lay on each side of it. The bag

engine and tender, and was lying

The Elder Rush-Valuable Hint.

1t is not known to many persons that the
common elder bush Of our country is a great
safo-g guard to plants against the devastation
of bugs. II any one will notice, it will be
found that worms, flies bugs, or insects new
er touch the elder-This fact was the initial
point of an Englishman in 1894, and he com
municated the result of his experiments to
the London Magazine. Accident exhumed
this old work and Kentucky correspondent
last year communicated to the Dollar NeayS
paper copy of the article.-The practical
results of the experiments as asserted by the
English eXperimener are, that the leave Of
the elder, scattered over cabbages cucum-
bers, squashes, and other plants subject to
the ravagcs of insects, etfectualy shields
them.-The plum, and other fruits subject
to the ravages Of insects, may be saved by
placing upon the branches and through the
tree bunches Ct elder leaves.

Hints to Farmers.

Toads are the best protection of cabbage
AGAINST lice. Plants, when dropping, are
revived by few grains of camphor. Pears
are generally improved by grating on the
mountain ash. Sulphur is valuable for pre-
serving grapes from insects. Lard never spolls
in warm weather, if it is cooked enough in
drying out. In feeding corn, sixty pounds
ground goes as far as one hundred in the
kernel. Corn meal should never be ground
very fine, as it Injuries the richness of it.
Turnps of small size have double the nutri-
tious matter that large ones have. Rats and
other vermin are kept away from grain by
sprinkling with garlic when packing the
sheaves. Money expended in drying land,
by draining or otherwise will be returned
with ample interest. TO cure scratches on a
horse, wash his legs with warm soapsuds,
and then with beef brine. Timber, when
cut in the spring, and exposed to the sun
with the bark on, decays ouch sooner than
if cut in the fall Wild onions may be de-
stroyed by cultivating corn, poughng and
leaving the corn in the ploughed state all
the winter,

TO THE AFFLICTED.-Dr. L. j. Czapkay,
returns his sincere thanks to his numerous patients
for their patronage, and would take this oppor-
tn nity to remind them that he continues to con-
suit at his Institute for the cure of Chronic dis
eases of the Lungs, Liver, Kidneys, digestive and
genital organs, and all private diseases viz;
Syphilitic ulcers, gonorrhna, gleet, structures,
seminal weakness and oil the horrd consequent
ces of sclf-abuse, and he hopes that his long ex-
perience and successful practice of many years
will continue to ensure him q share of public
patronage. By the practice of many years in Eu-
rope and the United States, and during the Hun
garian war and campaigns, he is enabled to ap-
ply the most efficient and successful remedies
against disease of all kinds. He uses no mercury
charges moderate-treats his patients in a cor
rect and honorable way-hOs reference of un-
questionable veracity from men of known res

How to Wash Flannel.

Some washerwomen possess quite a
knacI in washing flannel so as to prevent its
fulling. 1t is not the soap suds, nor rinsng
waters that thcken up flannel in washing,
but the rubbing Of it. Cloth is fuled by
being "pounced and joinced" in the stocks Of
the fuiling mill. Flannel, therefore, should
always be washed in very strong soap suds,
which will remove the dirt and grease by
squeezing, better than by hall rubbing will
in weak soap suds. 1t should also be rinsed
out of the soap in warm water, and never
in cold, as the fbre5 Of the wool do not
shrink up RS much in walm as in cold water,
after coming out Of warm soap suds Great
cr care should he taken to rinse the soap
completely out of tho flannel. This advice
will apply to the washing of blankets, the
same as i, docs of flannel.

Your correspondent would have grown
stalwart and strong with horny hands, and n
face as black as the ace Of spades. lie
would have taught school winters, worked on
the farm summers, and gone out haying for
fifteen days in july and taken for pay the
iron work and running gear of a wagon. At
two aud twenty, or thereabouts lie would
have begun to pay attention to a girl with
a father worth two thousand dollars, and a
spit curl on her torehead-a girl who al
ways went to singing school, and sat in the
seats and sung without opening her mouth
"a pretty girl any way. WE'LL after seeing
her home from singing school ono or two

down for life with her. Years would have
passed away, and that girl with the curl
would have eleven chiIdren-ust as sure as

should have hard time in bringing them
up, but they would soon be able to do the
