SUICIDE AT SAwp1r FLAr.-A cor

SUICIDE AT SAwp1T FLAr.-A cor
respondent sends us the following
''Mrs. Morton committed suicide at her
residence at Sawpit Flat this (Wednes-
day. morning, May 10Th, between the
hours of 10 and II o'clock, cutting the
arteries of both arms Immediately above
the elbows. The circumstances we're
as follows Mrs. Morton had been sick
for a long time but was supposed to be
improving. She had been nursed and
cared for by the ladies of Sawpit Flat.
On Wednesday morning, in the absence
Of the attendant, she asked her daugh-
ter, aged about 8 years, to bring her
two pans and a razor. The little girl
obeyed her request, and as soon as the
articles were handed to her she told the
girl to 60 into another room, close the
door, and not let any one disturb her
for half an hour, as she wanted to rest.
One Of the ladies who had been attend
ing upon Mrs. NJ. went to the house
few moments after, and the little girl
told her Of her mothers request, and,
as matter of course, they did 90 into
the room for some time but after
short time the attendant opened the door
and found her body lying in a pool of
blood, with each arm laid across pan
and the pans filled with blood. The
razor was lying near by. The incisions
IN each arm were very large and
reached the bones.
Mrs. Morton's husband left Sawpit
about two years since for Idaho, where
he now resides By this sad affair five
little children are left motherless and
without any one but strangers to care
for them until their father returns.
Mrs. Morton has always had the
reputation of being good wife and
mother and an exemplary woman, and it
Is supposed that she was laboring under
a fit Of temporary insanity at the time
she committed suicide.
An inquest was held by Esq. Sturges,
and the above facts were proven at the
time.

NAILS IN FRUIT TREEs.-A singular
fact, and one worthy to be. recorded,
was mentioned TO us few days since,
by Mr.. Alexander Drake, of Albemarle.
He stated that whilst on visit to
neighbor, his attention was called to a
large peach orchard, every tree in which
was totally destroyed by the ravages of
the worm, with the exception of three,
and these were the most thrifty and
flourishing peach trees he ever saw.
The only cause of their superiority
known to his host was an experiment
made in consequence of observing that
those parts of worm-eaten timber into
which nails had been driven were gen
orally sound. When his trees were
about year old, he had selected three
of them and driven a tenpenny nail
through the body, as near the ground
as possible. Whilst the balance of his
orchard had gradually failed, and final
ly yielded to the ravages of the worm,
these three trees, selected at random,
treated in precisely the same manner,
with the exception of the mailing, had
always been vigorous and healthy, fur
nishing him at that very period with
the greatest profusion of the most lus-
cious fruit. 1t is supposed that the
salt of iron furnished by the nail is of
fensive to the worm, whilst it is harm
less, or perhaps beneficial, to the tree.
A chemical writer on this subject
says: ''The oxydation or rusting of
the iron by the sap evolves ammonia,
which, as the sap rises, will impregnate
every part of the foliage, and proves
too severe dose for the delicate palate
of intruding insects"
This writer recommends driving half
o dozen nails into the trunk. Several
experiments of the kind have resulted
successfully.-Southern Planter.

not be altogether pleasant to persons
who dislike the trouble of grinding their
coffee form the berry:
The business of the firm. it appeared.
was the manufacture of the essence of
coffee, and the Court alluded to the de-
scription given by the plaintiff, as to
the manner in which the article was
prepared, as being amusing. and a mat
ter of valuable information to the pub
lie. The testimony referred to was
this:
"We take molasses, the cheapest,
dirtiest and nastiest We can find, boil it
down until it gets thick and ropes, take
it out then and place it in a pan to cool,
and when hard it is broken up and
ground, after which. ground rye is mixed
with it. 1t is then put into paper pack

So it is with cattle and sheep. You will

old steers worth from $50 to $50 each,
and his neighbors, at the same age, not
worth over $25 to $40. If his land is
