The History OF a Dog That Has Saved
Four Lives.

GEORGE ADR is the owner OF large
white, black spotted dog-spotted Ia
coach-dog-weighing somewhere in the
neighborhood Of big Newfoundland or
st. Bernard He is about - years old,
and answers to the cognomen OF Carlo.
Carlo has performed deeds of heroism that
even you, dear reader, might be proud oil.
Who would not deem it an honorable dis
tiuction to have il said of him that he had
saved four valuable lives? Carlo has
done this, and more to make him worth
honorable mention. Do you recollect,
about three years ago, the papers itemizeo
dog that rescued small boy from the
horns of sn infuriated COW, on Bluff street.
and carried him to place OF safety! The
Nearly two years ago. Mr.. AIDE had q
very spirited colt in his stable, and, by
accident one day the stable door was LETT
open. A little son of his, scarce two
years Of age, seeing the door sjar, crept
into the stable, and had scarcely entered
before the colt had him under his feet
pswing him. Carlo, hearing the child $
cry, rushed into the stable, caught and
dragged the boy into the stableryard Tor
safety. while the mother, attracted by the
alarm, met him. Carlo, by this act, came
near falling into disgrsce, for the mothers
irst thoughts were that he was eating up
the child, and met him with reproofs SC
During the spring freshet Of '66 two
little girls got into skif on the bank OF
Lake Peosta, and somehow, II their play,
fell overheard. Carlo was nigh at hand,
and. seeing their predicament, he rushed
into the food, first rescued one, and then
The other, and thus cut short mournfni
tragedy.
Another instance of Carlos sagacity
and we are done:
II was in the spring of 1854, on dark,
rsiny Saturday night, when the hood

Care Of Orchards.

As an amateur orchardist, have noticed
an evil which is extremely common in the
orchar6s of this locality, and / presume
of others also. l refer to the manner in
which he trunk of the tree divides itself
into branches This division is often at
SO shap an angle that the bark in the an
gle sndt the dirtlodging there arecaught be-
tween the two branches as they grow, 50
that, instead of a solid, woody union in
the angle where the branches seem to
unite, crack is formed, holding the bark
which has been pinched in, and deepen
ing " ith the growth Of the tree. Thus,
while the lower siei. Of the limb, Is firmly
bound, to the tree, by its fiber passing tato
and becoming part OF the trunk, the
upper side Is cut of by cleft filed with
dirt and rubbish across which no fbers
psss, though il may seem to the careless
eve q perfect union The weight Of its
load of fruit, or the violence of storms, is
sure in time 70 split of such limb, often
to the utter ruin of the tree.
The remedy is, first and best, allow no
division Of the young tree with such an
giles 70 take place. But if you have old
trees in which the evil already exists, pick
out from the crotch all the loose bark, and,
with q sharp knife, pare the bark where it
would be likely TO pinch, till you come to
the green bark, but by no means reach the
inner bark, or separate il from the wood.
Even il q cleft has slready been formed
you can, if 1t Is still shallow, clean 1t out
and -,re it smooth The angle will then
I'll up with q woody growth that viii bind
the branches solidly together Such
branches are saf5; they viii generally
break before they viii split apart
Once or twice each year, every tree
should be visited, The divisions of all its
large branches carefully examined, and
everything removed from the angle which
can By any possibility become pinched In
as the branches grow. BY this means the
ruinous breaking and splitting Of trees
now 90 common, may be almost wholly
prevented.-Cor. Western Rurd.

considered eminentIy desirable that the
road shall, in the shortest practicable
time, be completed to the Kentucky State

reasons, to.wit: ..
That the finished road will develop the
immense mineral and agricultural re-
sources of the section through which it
will pass, thereby enhancing the value of
the lands, increasing The prosperity of the
people, and augmenting the revenue Of the
State. That il will become a prominent
part Of great thoroughfare from the Ohio
valley to the Atlantic coast. That it will
render available large body of mineral
lands belonging to the company, and, for
this, and the reason Immediately preceding
will place the company in a position to
discharge, at an early day, its Indebtedness
to the State; that the road in its present
incomplete conditsoB, can hardly pay it's
running expenses leaving the interest upon
the company's debt to the State burden

BARMORE.
Finding of She Jury orEnquest.

Finding of She Jury ofEnquest.
The jury of inquest held over the body
of the late Seymour Barmore after its ar
rival ia the town of Columbia, and whose
finding is now before us, discovered no inn
portant facts not hitherto given the public.
The jury carefully and thoroughly investi,
gated all the circumstances connected with
this unfortunate affair. They say thai
Barmore was taken from the cars at the
town of Columbia about o'clock on The
morning of the 18th of January, without
any resistance whatever on his part, and in
very quiet manner; only three or four
disguised persons being seen by any one
and allwho were no knwn n
The jury expressed themselves as satis-
fed that the parties abducting Barmore
were not of Maury county, but are be-
lieved to have gone from Nashville.
Eight men are said to have been seen on
the pike near Oyerton's, on the morning of
the llth, and in the afternoon of that day
they were again seen some sixteen miles
from Columbia, and still later are said TO
have been heard of within six or seven
miles of Columbia. They are reported 10
have been sometimes in and sometimes out
of disguise. The reported movements
these disguised parties were not of such 6
character as to connect them Immediately
with the abduction, but are merely men
toned az suspicious circumstances.

The Lease of Ward and Briggs to Ter
inmate LIST of July, and the Stale 10
Assume Control.
The act Of the Legislature providing for
a valuation and sale of the machinery
ETC., belonging to Messrs. Ward & Briggs,
lessees of the Penitentisry, to the State,
has been accepted by these gentlemen, and
their lease will terminate on the let Of
July, next, at which time the entire estab-
lishment will be turned over to the State.
Provision has also been made for an al
bitration of the outstanding differences
between the lessees and the State officials
growing out of the fire of June, 1866.
Having kept the lessees in constant
trouble and annoyance from the beginning
of their lease, the State will be again in
possession of "lhe elephant" and it re-
mains to be seen whether it will be again
leased to other parties, or be run as purely
a State institution.

Indeed, DIR. LhghthilI performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for in

two years since, my niece, Miss Blizs
Mitchum, of McLemoresville, Tenn. She
had been suffering from child with a
rising in the head, which had for years
emitted through the ear very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the best physicians of The coun-

Lighthill kept her under his immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
with remedies She used the remedies as

II may be proper TO state that when Miss
