Tho Richmond Tragedy.

The Richmond papers of this NOR
ming ere all dressed in mourning, and
filled with details of the great caIami
ty. Many of those have not been
t~elegraphed from that city. The
Whigsn describing the catastrophe,
speaks of the crowded Courtroom
and the distinguished people who
were present, and then says; Cali
was quiet as the judges came in to take
their seats. All but one had taken
his seat, Wien n crash was heard as if
a gun had been exploded beneath the
floor.
All eyes turned toward the center
door, under the front of the gallery,
from whence the sound proceeded.
In an instant, the ominous and
alarming sound was again heard, and
simultaneously, to the horror Of all
present, the floor commenced TO give
way, and Immediately fell through to
the floor below with a fearful crash,
followel not only by the gallery and
its weight of humanity, but by tine
tlmber' overhead to which the ceiling
OF tine court room were attached.
THE FEARFUL SCENE.
We dare not attempt a description
of the fearf,.l es. A wall ofhor-
ror, quickly followed by the shrieks
Of suffering mortals assembled from
that abyss ofagony and death. That
portion of the floor, on whFch the
Judges platform was erected, did not
90 through with the rest, as there was
comparatively but little weight upon
it. A few persons were on the square
near he Capitol. Most of them com
pretended at once the terrible accident
while others who observed the vel
umes of dust pouring from the win
dows, supposed that a explosion of
the heating boiler in the building had
taken place.
A GNEERAL ALARM SOUNDED.
Mr.. w. H. Grant FASTENED to the
Dollhouse on Ninth street, and at
his instance the general alarm was
sounded. The bell was tapped rapid
", and all within hearing of the sound
&ere startled, knowing that something
unusual had occurred The report
spread rapidly that the Capitol was
on fire, and citizens ran from al di-
rections toward the square. The
white dust, resembling clouds of smoke
still envelopeb the northern end o.
the Capitol. and until the awful fact
was realized the impression prevailed
that the bulldog vas doomed to dis
truction.
Every heart felt a shock ofhorror
as the news spread from all parts Of.
the city and through all the tho olgh-
tares and streets. Crowds took their
way to the Capitol, all feeling that
their nearest relatives and dearest
friends might be among the victims.
In addition to these private and
personal apprehensions there was an
appealing sense Of a public calamity
that stunned and bewildered the firm
est minds. -. .-..
THE RESCUE.
Such scenes as presented them
selves were sickening. Fortunately,
there are always i'll such emergencies
, those who throw aside human weak
nesses, and Immediately give them
selves up to the good work of resou-
ing, saving and relieving the subjects
of disaster. 1t was so Yesterday.
They lost no time, but going into
the fearful scene, they commenced oper

STRIKING RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN
TWO DISTINGUISHED MEN.-The Port
land Argus mentions the remarkable re-
semblance between Hon. John A. Poor of
of that city and the late Gen. Thomas, a
fact to which we can personally vouch:
"In speaking of Gen. Thomas, whose
recent sudden death excited SO much
sympathy throughout the country, we
were reminded of the fact, so often re-
peated, of the striking resemblance in
personal appearance between Gen Thomas
and well known citizen of Portland, Mr..
John A. Poor. Many officers who knew
Gen. Thomas well have approached Mr..
Poor, in Washing ton and elsewhere, under
the belief that they were addressing the
| General, and not stranger At one time
when in Washington, Mr.. Poor and his
family were invited by an army officer to
examine new portrait of Gen. Thomas,
on exhibition at Phillips & Solomon's
book store. The proprietor of the book
store and other gentlemen present, after
carefully scrutinizing the picture and
comparing it with the original as they
supposed, declared it capital likeness.
A gentleman skilled in such matters ex-
pressed his qualification at the correctness
OF the likeness, having never BEFORE as

,,ycrv Farm = study in Itsoif.


Tb, v7-y;a.. experience and diverse
,,,f,i.ns bolI by farmers on many sub
iac,. connected with tho cultivation OF
land mvo often seemed unaccountabIe'
TAI, far ia+laa-, lie productive values
of commercial ,nnuces Two sensible,
intelligent and obsarvant farmers will
hold dramatically opposite opinions upon
Nh. effects of platter. They may have
farms nearly adjoining, yet one regards
plaster as essential to success, and the
other hold shat every dollar invested in
this fertilizer as money thrown away.
Both, when they extend their opinions
into general laws, err. Each, so far as
his opinion applies to his own land and to
other lands like his, is correct. An analy-
sis Of the soil on each farm might have
f5retold the result of each mans opinion.
Still the methods pursued by both have,
on the whole, been the best and most
economical.
So upon one farm deep cultivation may
be advantageous on another it may be
hurtful. Now since, as in the case of the
use Of plaster, there is as yet no settled
rule, plain and easy of application, by
which one can tell beforehand whether
upon a particular piece Of land the one
or the other is advisable, the determine
ton Of the question is vested in trying
both experimentally.
Again, one farmer finds that muck
has brought him good crops; another try
ing it has reaped no increased produce.
Each has pursued the matter experiment
ally and in practical way, For though
they may not have used the same sub
rtance exactly, each one has used that
muck available on his farm, and has de-
'crmined the question for himself in an
economical point of view.
Hence it is that every farmer earnestly
soarching for the most profitable culture
Of his land must investigate these ques-
tons in relation to his own farm for
while the suPerphosphate of lime may be
profitable manure on one farm, it may not
be 90 on another; while plaster may be
profitable on one piece of land, it may not
bo so on another

THE LATE FREsHET.-The freshet at
Conway Center, on the 20th made way
through a fifty foot embankment, tore
away sheds, carried away logs, and has
laid the town under the necessity of build
ing bridge in place of the bank, which
was used as a highway. Mr.. Fl. G. All
bott loses his mill power, unless he goes
to great expense in building dam, the
stream having taken new channel At
Conway the people had to turn out and
improvise a dam in order to save the
streets from being swept. One gulley
one hundred and fifty feet long and TWEEN
ty feet deep, was made in road by cur
rent. The bridge over the Blackwater, al
Andover, will be ready for travel by Mon
day morning, and the Vermont Central
will be able to reach Concord without any
carries. The Montreal through train came
in Saturday morning, and the Hillsborc
and Bradford trains were expected to BIZ
on time.

The Cardiff Giant and Cohoes Eos-
sill.
ALBANY. Anri

Editor Rutland Herald This city was
the first to receive and publicly exhibit
the Cardiff giant, after it left Syracuse,
and it was during its sojourn here that
"the great antiquity" of the statue dwin-
died down into two year old. We were
reluctant to believe that a block of gyp-
sum taken out from a bed near Fort
Dodge, Iowa, had been chiseled into a
statue at Chicago and buried at Cardiff
and afterwards exhumed for exhibition /;
but the evidence that such were the facts
was overwhelming, and we were obliged
to believe it. 1t was big sell.
There is another one still in Albany
quite equal to the Cardiff Giant, but not
"got up" expressly for the occasion. I
mean the Cohoes Mastodon, SO called, now
on exhibition in the State Geological col
lection in this city.
1t will be recollected that in 1866, as a
party at Cohoes were digging to secure a
suitable place for the foundations of a fac
tory, the workmen struck upon the bones
of huge animal, which some of the
saUdnS declared to be those of the Masto-
don; but all were not agreed upon this
name. Henry McGuier, geologist of
Saratoga, wrote two or three articles for
the newspapers, in which he asserted
that the teeth of this fossil were not those
of the extinct Mastodon. But he was
ridiculed for expressing such sentiments,
and the term Mastodon was applied to the
skeleton of the animal when it was set up
for exhibition.
1t seems great pity to take away this
name, for with it departs the "great an
wrought theory of their having been
taken into that huge pot hole of peat by
an immense glacier that separated the
animal parts and deposited them into
many different places. But we will tell
a story related to us by Mr.. William ].
Bradley of Ballston, N. Y, respected
and truthful citizen of that place, sixty
four years of age. He says he peddled
tin for William J. Benedict of Scheneec-
tady for several years, and for two or
three years he followed caravan-June
Titus u Angevina's. 1t was his custom
to travel from place to place in the night
and sell his wares each day at auction
near the tent of the caravan. In the fall
of 1888 he was going from Schenectady
to Troy, following the elephant, which in
those days was taken from to place in the
night, to escape observation-au when
near what is now Cohoes, but which then
had only honse or two, he found the
elephant had fallen dead in the road. The
Keeper had sawed off the tusks and was
cutting the body into pieces, that it might
be drawn out of the road. This was nc
small job, for the elephant was one of the
largest ever exhibited in this country
Mr.. Bradley had a nice span of Canadian
ponies ON his peddler's cart. He took
them OF, and, assisted by Aaron Ackley
then of Troy, who led one of the fright
ened horses while Mr.. B. led the other
they drew off the body by piecemeal, and
dumped it into bog hole some Fix OF
eight rods distant-the identical one, at
Mr.. b. thinks, in which this so-called
! Mastodon was found. SILEX.
