he had for a condemned criminal. and in
dulged in some severe personal reflections,
upon bis colleague.

Glad enough was he to accept the prof

Of over five hundred dollars.

aimed with such bitter maIignity did not

given. The consequence would to all

The declaration of Elder, made to
more than one, that he had struck Mr..
Lee a heavy blow, was remembered in
connection with this serious loss from a
defect in bis title and for long time
afterwards he was spoken Of familiarity
among those who knew him as the man
who struck himself
A broad illustration Of what is taking
place ally in hundreds of instances
around US. The evil that is medtated
against others usually comes back in some
form, upon those, who seek to DO their
neighbors wrong. In this matter there
is a law Of compensation which acts With
unerriug certainty. The blow that is
struck in malice at another, may not
seem to rebound. But as surely as il is
given, will its power to do them harm
remain unspent, until the circle of conse-
quence Is complete.

MURDER IN STRAFFoRD.-John ID.
Donabue, of Berlin, was killed by John
Ready, at Strafford, on the 10Th of Nov.
Both were employed in the copperas
works at that place. 1t seems that the
party were at a dance, where Ready got
into an alteration with one or two others
and was on the point of fighting, when
Donahue came up to part them. Upon
this, one or more of them made furious
attack upon Donahue and injured him
considerably but be finally escaped them
and left the house. As he was leaving.
Ready came up from behind and struck
him upon the head with stick Of wood.
His skull was split completely open, and
he died in a few hours. Donahue was
p years of age and is spoken of as a
mild and even tempered man. Ready
has the reputation Of being a vicious and
quarrclsome man, and it is reported that
he had threatened the life of young Don
ahue on a previous occasion. He was
arrested and admitted TO bail in the sum
Of $1,000.

PASTURE.

In the afternoon the renovation of pas,
ture lands was discussed. Joseph An
derson of Shelburue, noted farmer oi
Frank lin, gave his experience. He said
he was once a school teacher, and went
to farming 80 years ago for health. He
took a hard tract of 200 acres in She!-
burne, and went to work. The farm was
then capable of keeping only ten head of
cattle, worth, it may be, $400. Now he
has 40 head, worth $4,000. He began
with sweet fern, moving and burning the
dry plants. Then be took brakes, and
treated them in the same way. Eradica-
ting foul and wild plants brings n and
makes room for something better. Sow
ing plaster with lime brings in clover
He would not plow to improve pastures,
bat rather make room for something bet
ter, and then be careful not TO oyerstock.
Canada thiStIes, he thinks, improve land,
deepening the soil, and supplying fertili-
ziny matter. Itwas easily exterminated.
Now them in full bloom for two or three
years, and they are done. He removes
small stones, believing that stoney land
will not stand drought.
Mr.. Lathrop Of South Hadley spoke
of his pastures. The land was cleared
Of wood in 1949, and stubbed in 1850.
The white clover came in in patches, but
he had never pIowed his pastures. He
sowed plaster, but no grass seed, and
now his pastures were the best in his vi
cinity. Six acres in his vicinity that
would once scarcely keep cow, by the
aid of plaster, would now support an ami
NAL per acre. He would never plow or
burn land for pasturing. Plaster there
had been applied successfully for thirty
successive years.
DIR. Hartwell said that those lands
Astounding in sulphur would not be BEN
Gifted by plaster. He bad one pasture
that plaster would benefit, and one that it
would not. Horse and cattle manure
was certain death to some wild things,
and would bring in some useful things,
whether grass seed was sown or not
Some lands couldbe improved only by
letting them go to wood.

fourteen acre farm, that would ouos only

only $4,000 inhabitants in 1860, and
