Distressing Death.

Mr.. Dewall, farmer in Woodstock, N.
Y. was killed few days ago under the
most painful circumstances. The King
ston Journal says:
He had been ploughing corn in one of
his fields, in sight of his dwelling, during
he forenoon Of that day, and when called
to dinner by his wife, unhitched his horse
from the plough, threw the traces over his
back mounted it to ride to the house.
Just as he was passing a brook that ran
across the way, one of the traces slipped
down, the chain end of it wound closely
around bis ankle and its hook caught in a
link. His horse was spirited animal and
Immediately grew unmanagable; first it
threw him from it back and then started
off at full speed drawing him along the
ground. After it ran to the barn and
around it several times, Mrs Dewall saw
the dreadful condition of her husband and
and FASTENED out to his relief but this only
frightened the animal the more, and turn
ing in another direction jumped over wood
pile, causing dreadful mutilation of Mr..
Dewall's body, and then ran of for a dis
tance of two miles before any one could
stop it. The appearance of Mr.. Dewalps
person was horrid in the extreme. In the
flight of the horse he had been.iterally torn
and crushed to pieces. His head was a
mangled mass. Along the way he had
been dragged flesh and blood were seen.-
When taken up he was altogether lifeless.
This terrible affair created deep gloom
over the community in that section. The
occurrence of such an accident when there
was not the slightest cause for apprehen
sion of danger, and the awful manner of
Mr.. Dewall'e death, made this an extraor-
dinarily affective and impressive casulty.-
Who can tell what unseen dangers lurk
around?

are obtained in due proportions, at depth than
In sandy, light Soils Wheat sown broadcast i,
usually covered all depths from six inches To
that which rests upon the surface, uncovered
The last is liable to dry up, or be devoured by
birds or animals, while that which Is covered
too deep fails to receive due warmth and air,
and consequently perishes.
Without reference to the peculiarities Of soils,
the average depth Of which winter grain should
be covered is from one to two inches; generally
one and half inches will prove nearest right.
In light soils and dry weather, two inches will
not be found to deep. To always come within
the range Of these limits and to effect the object
most economically, the best form of grain
drill is necessary. These can be adjusted to
the proper depth required in soil, and with eq.al
accuracy the proper quantity of seed per acre
can be measured.

lady readers in particular: -oauggr
"Take one pound of sal soda and half q

your dirty clothes over night, or until they are

on plenty soap; and to one boiler Of clotheswell
covered with water, add teaspoonfal Of wash

thoroughly through one suds, and rinse well with
water, and your clothes will look better than the
old way of washing twice before boiling. This
is an invaluable recipe, and do want every poor
woman to try it. think With a patent wash

II disposed to rot, and buried in the ground
when damp their loss is almost certain, as the
moisture Of the sod favors rotting, and there is
no opportunity to watch them and select out
these that are decaying, and the whole lot soon
becomes rotten mass. We are the first we
think to speak of the potato rot the present sea-
son, and had watched ito insiduous attack and
progress for some time previous to making the
announcement, lest We might raise an unneces.
cary alarm. ..---.. -....
Now the papers in all parts of the country are
complaining Of the ravages of the disease. In
Ireland the greatest fears are entertained, lest
the sad scenes of former years should be repeat
cd, in view of the almost total destruction Of the
potato crop Which sss.s i.svis.bis.a In England
too there is much complaint The Phytocorss,
which some have supposed caused the rot, have
been very numerous the present season, and We
have counted twenty and thirty on single plant.
Incur grounds the tops are entirely dead or dying
The tubers are not rotten, but they are heavy
and hardly fit to be eaten. All varieties seem
to be affected. The only kinds which arc not
seriously injured out of forty sorts, are the York
Regent and the Lapstone Kidney, two varieties
imported from England.-R3rai Nev Yorker.
