Mother and Child Drowned in a Wen.

AFHA ~ R"A a ~ LAiAHAAA bNNH Vel
one OF the most heart-rending accidents
that 1t has been our painful duty to record
tor q long time, occurred Mt the corner of
Railroad and Fifteenth aYennes yesterday
afternoon, about three o'clock. Mrs. Shell
wood lett her home about three o'clock,
with the intention OF calling upon some Of
the neighbOrs, taking her little child-tWo
years Old-in her arms. Her husband,
who had II of his legs broken about two
months ago, was unable 10 accompany her.
At the time appointed for her return she
failed to make hor appearance, and Sher-
wood feeling a little anxious, hobbled ont
10 see II they were in sight. lie passed
along the atoop ut the rear of the house,
and discovered that the newly-lug well,
the top Of which came nearly even with the
stoop, was uncovered, and the boards
lying scattered around.
One glance was sufficient TO tell the
whole story. The mother and child had
fallen into the well. He drew near the
place with terrible forebOdings, and gazed
into the gloomy depths only TO see his
worst fears realized The corpse of the
little child was floating upon the water.
The neighbors were attracted to the spot
by his shrieks aud Distracted cries Of an
guish and dispair, The corpse of the child
vas drawn out, and n ladder being let
down, what was supposed to be the body
of the mother was felt Rt the bottom, some
fifteen feet under water. Mrs. Sherwood
was an ostimable lady, beloved by all who
knew her. At last accounts this terrible
catastrophe had 30 worked upon Sher-
woods mind that it was feared he would
go crazy.

Tue DoILAR-MARK The origin Of the
symbol (S) used to indicate dollars has been
a mattor of considemble dispute, II is COM
monty ielGiged to be an Authorization of tho
letters y s, which have in the hurry ofbusl.
ness writing been run into each other until
the original form was lost sight of. It il be-
lieved, however, by some antiqunrians to
have been a contraction of q Spanish word,
but those who hold his opinion differ in
their views about the precise word from
which II IS derived. Some say it is fderies,
hard, others that it is pesos, dollars. The
dictionary Of A~merieanisms gives, as a
more probably explanation. that it is a
modification OF the figure 8, denoting a piece
of eight reals, or as the dollar wal formerly
called apiece ofeight. 1t was the symbol
by 8 8.

1t is in the smaller details Of trimming
rather than in shape, that the endless va
lIiety is made in cloaks. Two leading
styles are seen at oil the best houses, viz:
the polonaise, or paletot, with a belt, and
the basquine, with loose fronts and tight
corsage back, tho ~fullness of the panier
skirt added ut the belt. Coat sleeves, small
ut the wrist, are universal. The polonaise
requires q slender figure with tapering
waist, on account of the fullnoss under the
belt caused by gathering thickly wadded
materials. The close fitting basquine is
adapted to full figures. Capes of various
shapes and depths, usually to the elbows,
IRE worn with both styles. Narrow-shoul-
dered persons seek the appearance Of
breadth given by the small pelerine cape of
the cloak material, while the broad.shoul-
dered veal pointed hoods on cloth, or lace
over-capes on velvet. An ingenious mod
iste makes a pretty hood of the round-cor-
negcd thread lace wells, nov out of fashion,
by fastening the top to the neck OF the
cloak, and gathering the edges toward the
center by an elastic cord run through the
bender. When ornamentcd with Renais-
SINCE bows of satin, this forms an ele-
| giant and economical finish for a velvet
cloak.
The panier puff is seen on many velvet
cloaka. Cloth is more frequently caught
| up with pleats in the Camargo style. I'M
mense bows, plcated loops, like fans, and
belt, give the Greciau bend tournure with
ont the aid of the torturing straps, said to
be worn for this purpose. Long broad
sashes make any cloak look old.fashioned
and dowdy.

The theory Of subsoil plowing has
been frequently explained in the Agri-
culturist, and the practice has been ad-
vooated for the last quarter Of a century.
Nevertheless, the use OF a subsoi plow
is rarity on American farms, and
almost always marks really progress
i've farmer. The action of mole near
the surface represents tolerably well
the manner in which a subsoil pow
works, only at such depth that little
or no elevation OF the top soil is visible,
while more ground is moved in pro-
, portion. These plows are usually en-
ployed following in the fuIrow Of
common pillow, aud driven as deep as
the team is capable of drawing them.
Crops upon land thus prepared are
much more likely to send their roots
deeply, to gain more nutriment, to sus-
tain themselYes during drOuth,r and to
mature heavier crops, than where sub
soiling il not praeticed. Indeed, the
only circumstances under which sub
soil piow does not work to the advan-
.tage Of the crops, is on very light, thin,
leachy land, and where the water
stands within a few. inches Of the sur
free. For corn, potatoes, and roots,
this preparation Is expedient, and for
the latter class of crops especially so.
Subsoil plows are Of steel and cast iron,
and are of either the lifting or mole
patterns The lifting subsoil plows may
have q wing (Which takes the place of a
mould-board in common plowsD y on one
or both sides OF the standard, There
isagreat diversity Of sizes, from the
admirable little one-horse plows, used
10 run between the rows Of root crops
and potatoes after the ground has been
competed by the horse hoe or culti-
vator, to those requiring team ofthree
or four horses 10 drawthem. There is
mot a crop which the subsoil plow may
not greatly benefit, either in the prepa-
ration Of the soil or in,the sammer

this subject says:
"Some ten years ago ] planted an
car of corn to test the difference be-
tween the product Of the kernels OF
both ends and the middle of the same
ear, aud will give you the result. The
soil was Just alike, the cultivation the
same, aud the crop very different. !
planted the first two rows from the ilp
or small end, and planted all the same
morning. The large end produced
fair sized ears, with irregular rows,
much as you will find them at the end
of the ear. The middle kernels pro-
duced ears mostly straight and fair.
The tips brought forth Dubbins only.
There was not fair ear on the two
rows of corn. / have raised corn, more
or less, for forty years, and now plant
only about half, or, at most, only two
thirds Of the kernels on each ear of
corn, and generally raise good crops
If the crop can be got into theground
early, it is not advisable to soak the
seed for the purpose Of fastening its
growth. Ifthe weather comes on un-
favorable for planting while the Corni is
soaking the sprouts are apt to get so
long that they will be broken off while
carried in the planting bag, and besides
sprouted seed cannot be put in the
hand planter, the use Of which very
much facilitates the labor, and if the
ground is dry, makes the growth of
the seed doubly certain. sae8 6a1
