Sad Acoident-A Young Married Lady
Killed.


A correspondent writing from Fairfield,
Denton county. No, Adgist 90, furnishes
the following particulars OF a sad accident, by
which a young married lady, just from West
Virginia, was almost instantly killed:
"a sad accident occurred near here last
evening. The southern hound stage, contain
ing four passengers,- young married couple
named Moore, a lady with two small children,
and gehtleman-had passed the post office
about three quarters of mile, when the stage
ran over stump, throwing the driver from
his seat, aud frightening the horses SO that
they ran away, dragging the driver some Two
or three rods before he could regain his feet.
When he did so he endeavored to stop them
by running around a tree with the lines this
gave a sudden jerk to the lines which caused
them to break, and the horses then sped on
their way with the stage and its living freight
of human beings. The two gentlemen jumped
out safely, but one of the ladies { Mrs. MooreJ
in jumping from the stage caught her hoop
skirt in the brake, aud vas thrown to the
ground and dragged some two hundred and
fifty yards before being released. Every
particle of clothing wes stripped from her
body except her shoes and stockings aud u
narrow strip cf her under, dress around the
shoulders.
81 reached the scene of the accident few
moments after its occurrence, and found the
husband supporting the head of his young and
golden haired bride, his own clothing saturated
with the warm blood that flowed from the
many wounds upon her fair young head, and
moaning as if his heart would break. She
was still living when reached the scene, but
was past all human aid. and in few moments
i,h aI barl tlln
rose above the tree-tops, throwing a flood of
soft, plying light upon that inauimate form,
and revealing the agony ofthe young husband.
"Hlr and Mrs. Moore were from Western
Virginia, and were the vanguard of several
families who are expecting to settle in this
part of the country. Deceased was about
eighteen years of age. and was within twelve
miles of her destination when the accident
occurred. The other lady remained in the
stage. closely holding her two children in her
arms and was not hurt i'll the least"

Matrimonial Advances.

The Rev. Dr. Bushnell in hia new book,
''The Reform Against Nature" writes on
this subject IS follows:
There is one matter where genuine re-
form would accomplish more for women, rs
verify believe, and take them out of the cor
ner that now pinches them great deal more,
certainly, than to give them the right of fsuf-
frage aud of civil office having also the fur
ther advantage that it would give them more
open way to the proper woman 3 life for which
they are better made, instead Of taking than
off into quasi battles with men for points of
precedence. and prerogatives Of government
which do not belong to them and never can.
l speak here of reform that takes off or
somehow loosens the embargo of women, as
respects advances toward marriage. The as
sumption now is that woman must be first
lassOed and taken, courted long and skilllully
then, and almost to the death bofore they can
venture an approving look. If they cannot be
conquered then, they must not be had, and
they must take this ground themselves. On
one side there must be close fence of prudery,
hard as possible 10 be got over; and on the other,
the man who will try must 90 to it bravely,
which alas for his modesty, is likely to be quite
impossible. Full three>quarters of the men
who get stuck in their bachelor lie and are
never married, are, in fact, the most in-born
adorcrs of women, such as never in their lives
can muster courage for any advance, just be-
cause the shrine they look upon has too much
divinity in it for their mortal approach. OF
course it will not do for unmarried women to
put themselves in 4 way of being suitors to
men. That kind of suitorship would even be
an offence, and raise a sense of Tepulsion
nobody would recommend to women that they
get over their modesty, but the almost ehOlic
stringency of what are called good manners
in this matter might be relaxed, without real
improperly, and with great advantage. The
present irOn>clad mOdesty, which is simply
ridiculous in either party, might be SO far
mi;igated as to let feeling feel its way and
carry on its own courtship, requiring no re-
striction save the restriction of words and
formal advances, and allowing nature to in
terPret and work out her problem, hampered
by no unnatural coyishDess. Women cannot
be forward and bold, but they are now great
way further off than they need be.

Drilling Wheat.
their success

The season approaching for seeding down to
wheat, we would urge the benefit of drilling
in the seed with machine, instead Of broad>
cast sowing. Nothing in agricultural practice,
now a-days, may be said to be better estab>
ished than this, as every one knows who has
ever tried it i; and the reports last season in
the Department at Washington, from, all sec-
tious of the country showed the gain iu BUSH
els per acre to be in some sections 20 and 20
per cent with the drilled wheat. 1t is found
to be much less liable to be thrown out BY
frosts or winter killed, and the free action of
the atmosphere through the drills in the field,
the uniform depth at which it is covered, caus-
ing an evenness in tho growth, together with
at least one peck less seed being required for
sowing, are all advantages which belong to
drilling, connected also with securing bet-
ter taking of the grass seed.
Drills, as with other farm machinery, havo
been greatly improved the last few years, and
are now constructed not only to SOW wheat,
oats, rye, &C., in given quantities, bat also to
SOW with it, grass seed aud fertilizers in the
rows, with the grain so that the soil being
previously we'll prepared, the the whole is
finished at one operation, and the ground left
in nice, smooth condition. The ridges loft by
the drill are leveled down by the frosts of
winter, giving additional protection to the ten.
der roots of the grain and grass.

Charity,

Night kissed the young rose and it bent
softly to sleep. Stars shOne aud pure dew
drops hung on his blushing bosom, and watched
its sweet slumbers. Morning came with its
dancing breezes, and they whispered to the
young rose, and it awOke joyous and smiling.
Lightly it danced to and fro in all the love-
liDess of health and youthful bloom. Then
came the ardent sun god, sweeping from the
cast and he sniote the young rose with his
scorching rays, ard it tainted. Deserted and
almost heart-broken, it dropped TO the dust
in loneliness and despair. Now, the gentle
breeze. which had been gamboling over the
sea, pushed on the home bound bark, sweep.
ing over hill aud dale, by the neat cottage
and still brook, turning the old mill tanning
the brow of disease, and friskins the curls Of
innocent childhood, came tripping along on
her errand of mercy and love aud when she
saw the young rose, she FASTENED to kiss it
and fondIy bathed its forehead in cool, re
freshing showers, and the young rose revived,
aud looked mp and smiled in gratitude to the
kind breeze but she hurried quickly away
her generous task was performed, and yet not
without rewards, for she soon perceived that
a delicious fragrance had been poured on her
wings by the grateful rose and he kind
breeze was glad in heart, and went away
singing through the streets Thus, true
charity, ike the breeze, gathers fragrance
from the dropping flowers it refreshes, and
unconsciOusly reaps a reward in the perform
ance of its Offices of kindness, which steals
over the heart like rich perfume to bless and
cheer.
