right Between a man andn a Lion

ing an account Of it. says :t"A strange and
dangerous accident happened last week,
when Messrs. Cross, inaturalists Of. Iiver.

named Sahara, lion to Scarborough. its
arrival there the animal was at once .taken
to the menagerie. y An went we'll until il
vas attempted to shift this unnamed king
of the forest from the cage in which he had
been forwarded into. the den built to hold
him at the exhibition, After many unsuc.
cessful attempts had been made to move
him out Of the cage into the other, il was at
last determinedto telegraph their difficulty
and request the assistance Of Mr., William
Cross, who at once. on receipt of the tele.
gram, took train for Scarborough. ]. Upon
bis arrival there anothertriaI was made. and
after a severe struggle. that lasted some
hours, the noble brute was at lebgth sue.

to say, whilst Mr., Cross was receiving the
CONGRATULATIONS ofthe people about him he
inadvertently laid hold Of one Of the bars Of
the den. .-.,.l ,.lr ..,... -. :, .......
In moment. the huge animal sprang
from bis crouehinR position, and. to the con
sternation Of all beholdeTs,, seized the, hand
of Mr.. Cross 10 his mouth, 1t is impossi,
ble accurately to describe the scene at this
juncture- fear, seemed to possess every one
present. Several strangers, who had been
specially invited to witness, the shifting
maguifed the accident to Mr. Cross into an
escape of the lion out Of his cage; thus,flled
with fear, theyrushed out of the menagerie
in great trepidstion. The lion still held Mr.
Cross fast by, the hand nor could he be en-.
ticed to let 40 his bold, although tempting
junks Of beef and cows hearts were thrown
into his cage !; bnt the most surprising part
of all was that, during the whole of the time
each was trying to attract the attention Of
the lion from him, Mr. Cross appeared the
least undistulbed, as, with his eye fixed up.
on his captor, he seemed to be waiting pa
tiently for some expected opportunity.
Finding the lion determined to retain
bis hold, and the pain becoming very Sc
we're. Mr. Cross asked one ofthe keepers to
hand him small bar ofiron he was holding
ready for use With this Mr.. Cross sue
ceeded in striking the brute terrible blow
between the eyes. The outraged animal

flesh from the hand, and mutilatiDg one
finger so seriously that at first il was thought

was recommended; but Mr.. Cross. with
coopess in him characteristic, refufed all

cut up already, and, wrapping hismutiiated
limb in wet clothes, walked out of the me-
nagerie as if no accident had happened to

The Necessity OF 81 Leg;blc
Iandyyritiug.

One of the most. characteristic speeches
ever made by thelate Viscount .PaImeFston.
was jenunciatory of the careless style OF
penmanship now in5vogue. The great Pre-
mier, whose wonderful success in. life was
attributable to the fact that he was thareueh
in everything he undertook and believed
that IF thing was worth doing at all. it
was worth doing well, " very properly maln's
tanned the necessity ofpersonsg cuitTvating
a neat, legible handwriting 4 from the, fact
that it was usefulin business, and pleasing
in private correspondence. There are many
persons in the professions who are of the.
opinion that scrawling penmsnship is an I'M
dication Of genius. ana that the less COM
prehensible are the letters the more pro-;
found is the writer. Many young geniie..
their wre,ched scribbling; ,heyl rather al
lude 10 it as Ruara nteeg eli their tDture
greatness, and proudly refer to the letters
of the late Mr.. Choate. 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that the heroslypbics of DR.. Chap
man have caused many medical student
to initiate his style, and it is to this foolish
habit of apiDg greatness by the adoption OF
practices which are ludicrous and annoying
even to eminent men, that business is very
Ioften deranged and not unffequently lives
are lost. o. r. faas--lr,- adj ssir'Ugiqs,.s =

THE BEST SEWING MACHINE.--It has been
our experience to own several sewing machines,
but we never obtained one fully up to our ex-
pectations until we received, lately, Howe
Machine. Mr.. Howe, as is generally known,
was the original inventor Of the Sewing Ma
chine. From the invention of his brain have
sprung all the numerous progeny, modified or
combined in form, of patent sewers Some of
them, by virtue of merits which they really
possessed, by persistent advertising, and by the
attraction of cheapness, for many years took
the lead in the market and left MIR. Howe en-
tirely in the shade so far as notoriety was con-
cerned, notwithstanding the fact that they were
all using more or less of his patents. The ma
chimes manufactured by Howe, meanwhile
whenever used, were found to do their work
satisfactorily, and as improvements were added
gained steadily in the estimation OF manufac-
turers of clothing and workers in leather. The
Howe machine of to-day is as near perfection
as it is possible for machine to be. 1t has
the advantage of being shuttle machine, ma
king stitch alike on both sides the seam has
an adjustable spring and screw tension in the
shuttle a reliable contrigance for moving the
needle away from or towards the shuttle as
large or small needles may be required re-
liable device for regulating the pressure on the
work as it is being sewed, so as to suit differ.
ent fabrics a positive and easily adjusted feed
motion runs smoothly, makes but little noise
uses needles almost as fine as in hand sewing,
requires but little power to drive it, and Is a.
cheap as any other good machine.

The MILFORD AaRICULTURAL SOCIETY. =
At the meeting OF this society last week the
following subjects were discussed Says the
Argus: 4
Does II man 10 Manure Corn IN the Hall. :
Mr.. Postles thought it did, 1t starts Oft the
plant and puts it out of the way of insects and
this would make it pay if it had no Other, ef-
feet. Mr.. Postles applied 100 pounds OF Moro
Phillips, Super-phosphate of lime to the acre,
ON corn in the Hill; It had fine effect on the
corn crop. The corn was followed by wheat
and the effects was very percephble-ranlEK; !;
stalk and heavy heads growing where the hlll
of corn stood. :,
Peruvian Guano it was thought would pay
on corn at $85 per ton. Mr. James PostleS
said that for first crop he, thought guano had
fine effeot-it is powerful stimulus and its et-
fects are pretty nearly all exhausted in hrs'
crop; while the phosphate were more perma-
nent in effect frequent paying as well tFs-het
ter ON second crop.
Howthick should Cord Stand MIR. Rob
erts said that Mr. Gilbert (near town, in Sus
sexl exploded the idea of leaving but two
stalks in the hill He left three and four anC
had q very heavy crop of cern DIR. Davidson
said that Mr.. Gilbert's success was owing t
the remarkable season-hence the result wa
exceptional. Mr.. Wales thought the yielC
would have been quite as large ifbut two stalk
had been left
Mr.. Coursey of Kent County had an extra
ordinary yield from the Peabody corn lastyear
He had field of Is acres from which he gath
cred 1000 bushels. He had SO bushels and |:
tbs of corn from one acre.
The best way to cover corn is with harrow
so constructed as not to drag grain. AbOu
two inches is the proper depth. Many farmer
plant too deep, and put too much in the bill
making it hard work to them and treQuentl
| Injuries TIE root of the remaining plants.
| Mr.. PoStles says if birds are troublesome
SOW corn broadcast to supply them and the
will not pull the corn. Corn soaked in strycl
nine will sicken the birds and frighteR thel
away.
Mr. Whales succeeds in keeping cows OF
effectually by fencing with twine.
Bedding StCeet Potatoes. POstles say
that bent hay is the best covering he is al
quainted with for covering the beds; but mus
be used carefully not to get the bed too hot
Covering should be removed in good weathC
to give the bed the benefit Of air and sun
rays.
Mr.. Prettyman reported at last meeting ths
he used muslin covering and finds it the mos
convenient. He used the same muslin for
years. Mr.. Yardley Thought that the see
should not be covered more than two inches
the plant will be slim and weakly if they al
required to come through great depths {
