Stacking Hay.

A writer in an exchange says: "A vast
amount of hay is lost by bad stacking
Many who attempt to stack have no proper
ideas of the subject, and not few OF those
who understand it are inexcusably negli-
gent when they undertake the work. The
process of stacking hay is very simple. The
essential points may, perhaps, be reduced
to two: 1st-Keep all sides at an equal
height, and the centre considerably crown
ing; and, 2d-Keep the whole surface of
the stack thoroughly tramped. These two
rules, carefully observed, will ensure a stack
that will be very little damaged by the rain,
whether it be egg. shaped or a simple cone.
But there are several other points which
should be observed in making a perfect
stack. In the first place, there should be a
| clear space of about foot between the hay
and the ground. For this, the cheapest
plan is 10 lay three rails or poles on blocks,
or stout stakes driven into the ground, and
then poles crosswise, thick enough to
prevent the hay from falling through.
Care should be taken that the hay laid at
the bottom does not hang over the ends of
the poles, so as to obstruct the free circu-
lation Of the air under the stack. The fork
fuls of hay should be laid flat, and not
rolled up into wads or bundles, because
when part is thus rolled, the stack will
settle unevenly, and perhaps careen to one
side. The centre should be tramped more
than the sides, and kept higher all the
way up. so that when the stack settles, it
will settle more on the sides than in the
centre, and so that when the hay is pitched
off, it will be found to lay in the form of
water shed from bottom to top. Rain can
never find its way to the centre of stack
formed in this way. A ladder long enough
to reach nearly to the top of the stack
should always be at hand, and as soon as
the stack is topped out, and while the stack
er stands on the crown, the upper part
should be thoroughly raked down, and
two or three stout hay ropes, with weights
at the ends, should be thrown across the
top and fastened together at the crossing.
The weights should hang as low as the
bulge of the stack. Saplings three or
four inches through at the but may take
the place of these ropes, their tops being
withed together on the top of the stack.
In hundreds OF instances every year tops
of stacks are blown of and large amount
of hay lost, just from the neglect of this
precaution, which would cost about one
hours work.
The whole stack should be nicely raked
down, as this leaves the hay on the outside
hanging downwards, forming q most per-
| feet water shed, All the hay living on the
ground around the stack should be taken
away, and if the ground on which it stands
/ is little siding, trench should be cut
around the upper side, close to the base,
/ so that no water can get underneath to
produce dampness and mould. Stacks
/ thus formed are an ornament to the farm,
/ and are safe from the rain.

A Young Lady Shot by her LOyer--Su
icidp of the Latter.

Thomas Merl1lein, of fredericksburg,
was employed in the Pennsylvania Rail-
road shops at Altoona, where he labored
for a considerable time. He there made
the acquaintance of young lady named
Seibert, to whom he became devotedly at
tached, and finally the two were betrothed,
but from some cause Miss s. recently saw
proper to break the engagement. Merklein
made repeated efforts since to obtain her
consent to union, but without avail. On
Friday evening last he quit work as usual,
but did not return next morning. During
the forenoon Saturday he visited the resi-
dence of the Seibert family, and obtained a
private interview with Miss s.
He again endeavored to gain her consent
to marry him. She refused, at the same
time stating her cause for so doing, where
upon Merklein drew pistol, and pointing
it to her heart, fired, at the same time de-
claring that she should not become the wife
OF any one. Immediately after firing, he
turned the pistol toward his own head and
shot himself, producing instant DEATH
Fortunately Miss Seibert was not fatally
wounded; the bullet entering her arm near
the shoulder The tragedy produced great
excitement among the people of Altoona,
where the parties were well known. 1t is
said that Merklein had been intoxicated
several days before he performed the deed
that stamped him a murderer and suicide.

Crime.
Horrible Slaughter by a thunderstorm
teen Victims Fall Under His Knife.

A correspondent of the New York Her
aid writing from Constantinople on the
9th OF June, relates the following startling
tragedy:
"A terrible incident occurred at Trebi-
zond, few days since, which spread con-
sternatlon throughout the whole city. In
the space OF few minutes only, seventeen
victims fell under the knife of mailman
| Four were killed on the spot, ten MORALLY
wounded, and three others slightly wound
| ed Each victim received but single
wound, which in all cases was aimed at the
heart The assassin is man Of small sta
ture, but strong and robust, about so years
of age, sometimes calls himself a Persian,
sometimes Russian, sometimes Chris
tan, and at others Mussulman.
During the past four months he has oc-
cupied hole In an oldewall, half ofwhich
has fallen with decay, in one of the most
| frequented streets of Trebizond, where he
! sold, in the open air, old iron, which he
collected from every quarter of the town.
| He commenced his butcheries in bread day,
at S o'clock in the morning, armed with a
knife sharpened on two edges, the blade Of
which was about or inches in length. =
| Having fastened the knife to his hand with
a cord, keeping the blade beneath his arm,
thus prepared, he commenced walking slow
! II up the street he inhabits Selling his
opportunity to stab every one whom he
found within his reach, and, quietly con-
cealing his weapon after each murderous
blow, left his surprised victims totally un'
conscious of the hand that dealt their death
wound, and unable to denounce the as
sassin
No allusion is made to the action of the
police during this time; in fact, they did
not appear on the scene until after an end
was made to the bloody work of the mad
man or fanatic by baker, who succeeded
in telling the assassin to the earth by we'll
directed blow from heavy stick of wood,
when he was Immediately seized disarmed
and handed over to the authorities, several
/ policemen having promptly appeared as
+ soon as the danger was past. he was taken
/ before the Governor, where, after an ex-
animation by two physicians, no evidence
whatever Of insanity was discovered. After
/ having answered the questions relating to
his name and place of birth, the fanatic,
who calls himself Hadgi, would give no fur
/ ther information. On showing him the
/ dagger with which he had committed such
havoc, he pretended not to recognize it,
and his only response to all questions was,
/ ''Biimem" Il don't know The excitement
and horror created among the entire popu-
4 lation of Trebizond was so great that the
Governor was obliged to hasten the execu-
/ ton, and after a summary trial the culprlt
was taken into the public square, and be-
headed in the presence of the whole pop
ulatlon OF the city.

A Burglar Killed BY a Vessel Captain.

The particulars of a desperate encounter
between a notorious burglar and rutlan
and Captain Hinsky, Of the schooner Two
Charles, lyirg at the foot Of Sixteenth
street, were published in the Tribune yes
terday morning The time of the occur
renee was o'clock Saturday morning.
One among number of thieves who at
tempted to rob the vessel entered the cabin
wherein the Captain was asleep The
noise he made IN descending the COM
panion way awakened the Captain, who
leaped from his bunk
The surprised desperate seized a mar
hne-spike, with which he dealt the other a
blow upon the head, fortunately inhicting
only slight injury. The Captain by some
means became possessed Of revolver, and
fired at his assailant as he was making a
retreat to the upper deck the contents OF
the weapon passing through the small Of
the back and ont at the navel, Though
badly wounded, the fellow ran several
blocks before he was captured, when he
was taken to the Armory He was after
ward removed to the County Hospital,
where, after suffering greatly, he died at
ten O'Clock yesterday morning.
He was a noted ruffan, and had served
several terms in the penitentiary and the
bridewell for various offences. His real
name seems never to have been known to
the police, his numerous aliases, John
Jones, Jimmy Piggot Marshall, Williams,
etc, serving to identify him with his fell
lows in crime. He was about 26 years of
age.
On Saturday afternoon, Capt. Minsky
was arraigned before Justice Millikin, on a
charge Of assault with deadly weapon,
with intent to kill, and was admitted to $500
bail for further examination ten days hence.
The court then expressed the opinion that
no criminal action could be taken against
the defendant in case of the death of Jones,

The DroOping Ears of Animals,

Our domesticated quadrupeds are all de-
scended as far as known, from species hav-
ing erect ears; yet few kinds can be named,
of which at least one race has not dropping
ears. Cats in China, horses in parts of
Russia, sheep in Italy and elsewhere, the
guinea pig in Germany, goats and cattle in
India, rabbits, pigs and dogs in all civil
lied countries have dependent ears. With
wild animals, which constantly use their
ears like tunnels to catch every passing
sound, and especially to ascertain the d.
rection whence it comes, there is not, as
Mr.. Blythe has remarked, any species with
dropping ears except the elephant
Hence the incapacity to erect the ears is
certainly in some manner the result of do
mestication, and this incapacity has been
attributed by various authors to disuse. for
animals protected by men are not COMPEL
ed habitually to use their ears. Colonel
Hamilton Smith states that in ancient eff
gies of the dog, with the exception of the
Egyptian instance, no sculpture of the
early Grecian era produces representations
of hounds with completely dropping ears
those with them half pendulous are miss
ing in the most ancient, and this character
increases by degrees in the works of the
Roman period
Gordon has also remarked that s'the pigs
of the ancient Egyptians had not their ears
enlarged and pendant" But it is remark
able that the dropping of the ears, though
probably the effect of disuse, is not accom-
panied by any decrease in size; on tn,
contrary, when we remember that animals
SO different as fancy rabbits, certain Indial
breeds of the goat, our petted spaniels
bloodhounds and other dogs, have enor
mously elongated ears, it would appear a
if disuse actually caused an increase il
length. With rabbits, the dropping of tn
much elongated ears has effected even tn
structure of the skull. -Daracin

FrIghtful Tragedy in Ohio.

A tragedy has occurred at Middleburg,
Logan county, o., of character much re-
sembling the celebrated Congressman
Hamilton affair, the principle difference
being the absence of relationship between
the parties. A Mr. Marshall, who has been
insane and incarcerated in the Central
Ohio Lunatic Asylum, was sent home about
six weeks ago, by the officials of the Asylum,
who said he was well, but he was not
During the alteration of his mind he has
taken dislike to one of his neighbors,
named, Norville, and has frequently threat
ened him with violence. Both of these
men were attending trial at Middleburg.
1t appears that Marshall was armed and
considered dangerous, and that efforts were
made to take away his weapons. During
the alteration which followed he killed
Mr.. Norville and stabbed brother of the
murdered man. Marshall has been con-
veyed to the Bellefontaine jail. All of these
parties live near Newton, Union county.
The murdered man was one of their promi-
nent men, and at the last election was a
candidate for Sheriff
