CUTTING BUsHEs.-A writer in the New
Hampshire Mirror gives the following on
this subject:
The question is often asked by those who
have pastures covered more or less with
bushes, ''How can we kill them2" Many
think it hard if not impossible to hill
bushes by cutting them, especially the
white birch and some other varieties. But
it can be done. Cut your bushes the long
est days in June, and they will not trouble
you more. YOU will kill them. I have
cleared number of acres during past years
by cutting at that time and I have killed
them. On the land we're white birch, alder,
pine, hazel, etc. If do not want to cut
more than two or three days in year, / Sc
lect the middle longest days, as there are q
number Of days of the same length in June.
There are other seasons oftheyear probably
when they can be killed, but have proved
the above time, and have succeeded In get
ting nd Of quite large quantity of bushes.
Brother farmers, just try it.

An Excited Mob Threaten to Burn WO'
man for a Witch.
tFrOm the LapOrte Hnd. Courier

GlpOEVS lAuu-I NOukACA'J
Our readers will be startled to learn that
the famous oldwoman Of Endor has a daugh-
ter in Laporte-a spiritual if not ineal
daughter. Very early on Monday morning
the grounds about certain dwelling on /
street, in Andrews Addition, presented a
scene which made one think Of Salem, Mass,
as Salem was in the year of grace 1892. A
Mrs. D., who domiciles there, is reputed to
he q witch, averitable sorceress, who, though
not positively known to have ridden through
key-hole on broomstick, is said to have
tried her damnable charms with fatal sue
cess on one Mrs. R., who tabernacles on q
farm little south of the city. Mrs. R. is
afflicted with commissions, and believes
Mrs. D. to be the cause Of her epilepsy
She has been treated by several medicine
men, but without any benefit except to
the doctors. Recently she has been avail
ing herself of the professional services Of a
man from New Buffalo, who, to the double
business Of healer and preacher, adds that
of exorcist. This man insists that not long
ago Mrs. D. confessed to him that she was
the authoress of Mrs. R. s suhGerings, hav-
ing by her black and diabolical art be-
witched her. He was here visiting his pa
tient at the time mentioned, and
about "gray dawn" or little after,
on Monday, went in company with several
others, as we understand it, to the house Of
Mrs. D., for what precise purpose we are
not informed In the course OF the confab,
Mrs. d., it appears, plumply denied that
she had ever made any confession to the
preacher doctor, and denounced him as q
liar. Exactly what followed we do not
learn, but in the meantime an excited
crowd Of probably two hundred gathered
about the house, the victim OF the sorcery
sitting in buggy in the midst thereof The
New Buffalo gent, who was the ringleader
Of the rioters, proclaimed from the mob
that if Mrs. D. would come out and
show herself he would unwitch her in
trice and evermore. But Mrs. D., not lik-
ing the outlook, and doubtless thinking
that the doctor had already more devils in
and about him than he could properly man
age, declined the kind invitation. This did
not have the effect to moderate the, rising
fury of the crowd, and there were threats
of burning the incorrigible woman with
fire. But just at the nick of time, the City
Marshal and officer Dan Brown made their
appearance, and succeeded in dispensing
the mob without much difficulty, and be-
fore the commission Of any violence. An
effort was made 20 arrest the New Buffalo
mountebank, but he had prudently de-
camped
