M MISCELLANE Q N Y
The Children I'm the woods.


The Austin Texas Gazette narrates
the following melancholy incident OF
the death of two children who had be-
come lost in the woods They were
twins, brother and sister, four years
old, named Dunbar, residing in Lime
stone county Tie Gazette says:
The day was mild and pleasant, and
they had been playing between the
house and the spring not far distant,
where their mother was engaged in
some household duty. How the little
innocents were tempted into the for
est's depths is not known, but dark
ness came on, and the children were
missed and did not return. Tho coun
try is sparsely settled, and no neigh
bors could be called on to assist in the
search until morning. Then the alarm
was given, and numbers joined in the
vain effort to find some trace of the
lost ones. This was continued until
the evening of the third day (thc
searchcrs then numbering nearly one
hundred), when they were discovered
in thicket about two miles distant
from the house, lying side by side dead
They were the nephew and niece OF
Captain Cane, Of Dallas, the Cover
nor's private secretary, and as heread
us a portion of letter from his sister,
the unfortunate mother, which has sen
sibly affected us, and from which We
have gathered some of the additional
details of this melancholy affair, given
above. She mentions another fact
which, simple as it is, touches our heart
to the core. The shoes and stockings
of the little darlings had been taken OF
and were found near them. The ex
planation of this to our mind is plain
When night came on there was a sud
den change in the weather peculiar to
this region, called wet norther. The
effect Of the cold on the human system
is we'll known The children became
more drowsy as the piercing wind
chilled through their tender bodies,
until they could resist the influence no
longer, and then, in half unconscious
state, thinking they were at home,
they pulled off their shoes and stock
ings, and, as it seemed to them, went
to bed. And so, locked in each others
arms, they fell asleep to awake i'll
heaven.

Fields of Grain Destroyed by
Pigeons,

The farmers of many of the western
counties are much troubled with pi-
geons; in fact, these hordes have be-
come perfect scourge, Vast tlocks
have made their appearance, the air
in many places being literally darken-
ed, and having migrated ii long dis,
tance from the South, they are very
vOracicus These focks alight upon
the fields of now sown grain, and, roll
ling over and over like the waves of
the sea, pick up every kernel Of grain
in sight. 1t is impossible to drive them
away they are unmindtul Of the firing
OF guns, throwing Of stones, shouting
of men, or barking of dogs; and it is
an easy task to kill any number of
them with pole. One farmer, resid-
ing two miles east of Independence,
had soWn tnrcc acres Of wheat, and
was preparing to harrow it in, when
t! G pigeons made ther appearance,
and gobtlcd up every kernel before he
could get it covered Some fields con-
tanning forty acres were absolutely
covered with pigeons, and although
INC llollSHiSu Na8cu dh iIlCCSSttIlG war
fare against them and killed great num-
ber~, their places were soon supplied
d, ith others Hunting pigeons has lost
HE charm Of novelty, and the main
question is how to save grain With
the present high price Of seed wheat,
and its scarcity, this becomes Il ques
rinn OF serious consideration. \ great
number of fields will have to be sowed
a second time, and we hear of some
farmers who are doing it third time.
From all accounts, the main deprcda-
tions OF the teathered scourge appear
ed To be confined to the region Of coun,
try bordering the Wapsipinico, as but
comparatively little damage is report
ed along the Cedar river.-Front tie

Experience Proves there are only
Two VALUABLE
Machine Stitches:
411 GROVER & BAKER
ASTIC STITCH
AND THE
SHUTTLE OR LOCK STITCH.
SHUTTLE OR LOCK STITCH.

THE Grover Baker ElasticSttch Sewing Machines
are superior TO all others for the following reasons:
i. They sew direct from the spools and require no
rewIndIng OF thread.
,. They are more easily understood and used and
less liable 10 arrangement than other machines
3. They capable of executing perfectly. without
change of adjustments much greater variety of ork
than other machines.
4 The stitch made by these machines is much more
hIn, elastic. and durable especially upon articles
which require to be washed and Ironed, than any
other stitch
s. This stitch, owing 10 the manner in which the
under thread Is inwrought, is much the most plurnp
ana heautliuI IN use, ana retains this plumpness and
beauty even upon articles frequently washed and
!rontd until they worn out.
B. he structure of the seam is such that though il
he cut or broken intervals of only few stitches it
VIII neither open, run, or rave but remains firm and
durable
. Unlike other machines, these fasten both ends of
the seam by their own operation.
> WITH these machines, white silk is used upon the
right or face side OF the seam, cotton may be used
upon the other side without lessenng the strength or
durability of the This can be done on no other
machine and Is great saving upon all articles stitch
ed or made up with silk
. These machines. in addition to their superior
merits as instruments for sewing, by change OF ad
lustment, easiy learned and practced, execute the
most heautiu. and permanent embroidery and orna-
mental work.

are injuri0us; others, mt best, of little use,

from objections OF this kind, has long been
desired by many gentlemen who have va
luablc horses. We therefore offer the only
