absent Chas. Shrigley, the Vice President,

cultivate oae-fourth more land than they

custom. He commended that il cost nearly
as much labor TO half cultivate land as TO
cultivate it thoroughly, and that ans land
that would mot pay to cultivate in this
manner would not pay at all. If the far

amount of manure and labor on TO three
iourths as much land, they would obtain
from so to So bushels of corn and oats 10

Murder and Suicide.

/ The Chicago papers contain an account
OF shocking murder committed at Lake
Station, Indiana, little village on the
Michigan Central Railroad. Timothy
Molioy, resident of st Louis, recently
quarrelled with his wife, and the two sep
arated, a divorce having been procured in
the Missouri courts, The origin of the
disagreement is not known; but il was
such as to produce great bitterness, on the
part of Molloy, so that his wife finally
sought an asylum with her brother who
keeps the hotel at Lake Station. tbronoh
fear OF personal danger. Molloy stealthily
followed her, went to the hotel to seek an
Interview, and failing returned TO Cbicaoo.
on wednesday last he went again to
Lake Station, arriving there about seven
o'clock in the evening, and found Mrs.
Moiioy sitting in one of the upper rooms
OF the hotel, with two of her brothers
children, who were kneeling before her
repeating their evening prayer. Before
she had time to utter a scream her bus-
band stood before her with revolver
pointed at her head. Almost instanta-
neousiy he fired. The shot whizzed
pas her ear and lodged in the opposite
wall of the apartment.
Finding that the shot had missed its
mark, MoIloy drew large sheath knife
from bis belt, and rushing uron the de-
leneeiess woman, seized her by the hair.
and bending back her head, plunged the
blade into her thread, completely severing
the windpipe and jugalar vein. The
deed was accomplished before any alarm
could be given, and the murderer. BRAN
