In A TIGHT PLACE. At l., on Sunday
evening, fatigued by his long journeys wag-
oner ana his son John drove the team into 4

sane on the Subject Of Spiritual
ism.
On Wednesday and Friday of last
week, we mentioned the finding of a
dress, a shawl and belt, on the riv-
er bank, near the Vitriol Works, in
the eighteenth ward. The impress
sion was, that some unfortunate wo-
maq had committed suicide. but later
developments show that the suipicion
was unfounded, although the condi-
tion of the lady who wore these gar
ments is such as to render her almost
dead to her friends. They belong to
a Miss .Orme, aged thirty years, and
resident of Pitt alley, Allegheny,
and who, until recently, made a COM
Portable livelihood by fancy needle
work. She was a very respectable
lady, and associated with some of the
best families in the city. Some two
months ago she became excited on the
subject of spiritualism, and frequently
visited medium living in this city
Lately it was too evident that she had
become hopelessly insane on the sub

to visit a friend in Lawreneeville.
Nothing more was heard of her in AL.

turned to Mr.. Barker's almost naked,
her body covered with scratches and
bruises, and her mind completely

that the articles were found. She

unreliable statement as to her having
been seized and abused while passing
through Lawrenceyille. See states
that after getting away from her cap

Weddinr Presents.


There was 4 time when the word
"Wedding present" had charm in it..
When it meant something fresh spon-
taneous, representative of the giver's
affection, and when the giver was per-
mitted, without creating a scandal, to
proportion his gift to his means.
But that was good while ago. Now
it IS become regular affair of busi-
ness. There's neither love nor feel
ing in the matter. Not but that there
are love and feeling still in the world
in plenty, only it would seem. they
have taken to sanetifyiHg other things
than they used. A wedding present
aow Is forced contribution, or a
means of gratifying tn giver's vanity
or ostentation, or an Investment made
for the sake ofgetting peg higher in
''society All the sentiment is gone
clean out oft. It means. at the best.
nothing more tender than sgood
morning lis said as easily and for
got as soon. That is, if the giver can
forget it as easily. For it is not to be
disguised that the wedding present
has become a serious tax, and is ouly
endured with patience by those who
count on getting back the value of
their gilt rhen they themselves shall
be married. .-PutaaH's Magaziae,

DOMESTIC INFELICITY-A TIFFIN GIRL
NAkRIEs AN OLD MAN FOR HIS MON
EY-wHAT CANE OF IT.
Not many months ago, there lived
in Tiffn an elderly gentleman Of re-
puted wealth, and like many men
who have passed over the summit Of
life's rugged path and descended far
down on the opposite side, nearing
the end of his journey, he became
impressed with the belief that he
should have a wife-a young wife
In the same thrifty and ambitious
little city there lived, at the same
time, young lady whose pride and
poverty had led her to think that
money, or Its possession, was the
great source of human happiness.
The reader can readily see here was
lar chance for 4 mateh-the old
man not caring so very much what
kind of wife he got, only that she
should be young; and the young lady
not being particular about the man
she got, only that he should have
plenty of money.
The two finally met, and each
found in the other what was deemed
essential for a successful matrimonial

The Farm,


Farm is profession, not to say a
science. If any one doubts this state
ment left him leave his city home-for
no one bred in the country will doubt
lit-and undertake to cultivate even a
garden of half an acre for the summer.
He viii then find that knowledge is
as essential to the right use Of the
spade as Of the pen, aud that there is
as great difference between the sci
entiic farming of Flanders, where lit
orally not weed is to be seen, and
that ofmany Ofour farmers, the wealth
of whose soil is about equally di-
vided between fruits aud weeds, as be-
tween the trade of a modern CONNER
eial city and the barter of back
woods settlement. 1t is true that
agriculture has been the last to re-
eeive the impetus Of modern science.
1t is true that many agriculturalists are
content to 90 on in the ways of their
fathers, because experiments are cost
ly. But it is also true that they are
unable to compete With those who un-
derstand the use Of new instruments,
methods, and fertilizers. Agriculture
is also becoming in this country a
popular recreation. Many a gentle
man is content to spend on his couu-
try-seat money which he makes in
the counting-room. The practical
farmer is thus able to get the benefit
Of experiments without paving for
them. This change in agriculture,
which has converted it from drudgery
to an art, has created a demand for a
corresponding literature. Fifty
years ago a stable agricultural period
ical did not exist on the American
Continent. Now every considerable
district has one, while almost every
weekly paper, secular or religious,
has its agricultural department; and
it will not be long before something
Of library will be part of the furn-
iture of every well-0rdered farm

MACCARoNI.-Is an article Of food
which we should like to see in more
common use in this country. When
our people learn to make it, as well as
they make it in Naples and what is
equally important to cook it as tAs
NeapoIitans do, it viii be as much
used here as it isthere, for it is, or
might be, cheap, and healthful.
The -four is specially ground for it !;
and the best article of maeearoni is
retailed in the Neapolitan provinces
for FIVE and six cents a pound. A
eommoner and eoarser article is much
used by the common people, which
sells for about half this price. 1t Is
difficult to imagine what the basse
geHte, the lower classes, would do with
out maccaroDi.
Here, we think, it is usually baked
with cheese style in which no Ital-
ian could be induced to eat it. They
boil their maecaroui until it is tender,
which ordinarily requires about ten
minutes, and then serve il up with
butter or the sauce Of the Tagom. To
make this dish they take piece Of
beef without bone, and after cutting an
onion into small pieces and cooking it
thoroughly in kettle, they place the
meat on the onion, and after it is parti-
ally cooked they add tomatoes, pre-
pared as they would be for steWing
adding more from time TO time and
sometimes water, and cooking for
three or four hours. The meat IS
then served up by itself, and the to-
mato sauce is poured over the mac
earoni. They always have some
grated cheese on the table to be sprin-
kled on the maoearOni by those who
ike it.

days the year round, this firms the

TOURNAMENT MATTERs.-We are
satisfied that the attendance at our
Tournament will be large. The San
dusky Register denies that the Great
Western Band has been engaged to
play on the occasion, but that it will
come here with the Sandusky Fire
Department. We don't care how ii
comes, if it is only present.
The Bellefontaine Republican seems
to think its town has a wide awake
Company of dHooks. See what they
intend to do:
"The Olympic Hook and Ladder
Company are having their truck
put up in the incest Of trim, prepar-
atory to attending the tournament at
Tifin, on the I'd Of July. They are
going for the trumpet, and if they
don't bring it home with them, some
body will have to get up and dust.
Mark that"
And then puts in the very modest
note of the UrJana Citizen and Ga
sette. asserting that the Departm ent
of that city will take four prizes
Listen, once
"The Young America Engine and
Hose Divisions, and the Rescue Hook
and Ladder Company will attend the
Firemen's Tournament, at Tifin, on
the I'd of July next. The Young
Americas expect to bring home three
prizes, viz One hundred dollar sill
yer trumpet, on distance one hun
dred dollar silver trumpet, for the
Hose Company running one quarter
of a mile, laying two hundred feet of
hose, attaching to Engine and getting
water in the shortest time and $50
in greenbacks, sweepstakes prize,
The Rescues' are going for a trum
pet also, valued at one hundred dol
lars. Dread-nOt the Findlay Hooks,

If that is not frightener we are
not awake.
The Fremont Journal has calm
confidence in the powers of its Com
panies, and simply announces that
they are to be present:
"The Rescue Hook and Ladder Co.
and the Steamer Mcpherson, of this
city, intend going to the Firemen's
Tournament, at Tifin, July I'd.
The Hancock Courier announces
that three companies viii be here
from their town:
"We understandahat the Dread
nought Hook and Ladder Company,
ono Of the Fire Engines, and the No.
l Hose Cart, intend going to Tifin TO
take part in the Firemen's Tourna-
ment to be holden in that place on
the I'd of July. We hope they will
bring home some of the prizes. -
The 0berlin Hooks will also be
here to run, and they propose to
make it "lively" for the Findlsy boys
or any other Companies that may en-
ter the lists against them.
Right here we wish to say a word
to our editorial friends. Those who
come here to attend the Tournament
are invited to hunt us up, and we
will try and make it "hOt" for them.

the foundation Of all great ones. A

pick it up, if it lay before him. Yet
