REARING TROUT.

Any one with spring of good soft water at his
command can secure the luxury of brook trout up
on his breakfast table every morning for six months
in the year. We heard of a Massachusetts farmer
who, last season, besides supplying his own table
with these delicious fish, sold three hundred pounds
of fish at fifty cents per pound His pond was made
and stocked only two years ago at an expense Of
s5, and covers about an eighth of an acre of land
and he full expects to triple the product next sea-
son. Now, Independent of the pleasure derived
from rearing the fish, and the luxury of eating
them and taking mere practical dollar and cents
view of the case, we cannot conceive how an eighth
of an acre of land can be made to yield as much
clear profit under any species Of cultivation. Solon
Robinson, who is known to all agricultural readers
as practical man whose opinions are worth some
thing, has been among the fish breeders of New
England last summer, and says that the only diff
cuties he can in the way of pisciculture becom-
ing profitable branch of rural economy is the diff
fcuty of providing for the fish sufficient quantity
of animal food. We fancy the animal offal from
most households would go long way toward fur
nishing supply. Let the viscera of poultry and
animals slaughtered for the table and for market be
passed through an ordinary sausage grinder cut
ter, and they will furnish ample food for more trout
than would suffice the home demand. Turf, Field
and Farm.

A MURDER TRIAL IN NEVADA.

Il was sitting here" said the Judge, sin
this old pulpit, holding court, and we were
trying a big, wicked-looking Spanish desper-
ado for killing the husband of a bright, pref
ty Mexican woman. 1t was a lazy summer
day, and an awfully long one, and the wit
nesses were tedious None of us took any
interest in the trial except that nervous un-
easy devil of wOman--because you know
how they love and how they hate, and this
one had loved her husband with all her
might, and now she had boiled it all down
into hate, and stood here splitting it at the
Spaniard with her eyes, and tell you she
would stir me up too, with little of her sum-
mer lightning occasionally. Well, l had my
coat off and my heels up lolling and sweat

the fact is, there wasn't any interest in a
always brought in not guilty, the Jury ex-
pecting him to do as much for them some
time; and although the evidence was straight
and square against the Spaniard, we knew
we could not convict him without seeming to
bc rather high-handed and sort Of rejecting
upon every gentleman in the community; for
there warn't any carriages and liveries then,
50 the only style there was, to keep private

her heart set on hanging that Spaniard; and
you'd ought to have seen how she would
glare on him a minute, and then look up at
me in her pleading way, and then turn and
for the next five minutes search the ijury's
taces-and by and by drop her face in her
hands for just a littie while as if she wasmost
ready to give up but she'd come again di-
rectly and be as live and anxious as ever
But when the jury announced the verdict
Not Guilty, and I told the prisoner he was
acquitted and free to go, that woman rose uI
till she appeared to be as tall and grand as a
seventy y-four- gun ship, and says she:

Watching me, white and dumb.

All solemn-lighted, grding my repose,

With hyacinth and rose.

Beyond, the glad, strong Spring.

And hide beneath its shroud-plaits one dim rose

A horrible story of brigandage reaches US
from Chill. Lagoberon, notorious bandit
captain, was SO closely pursued by a body of
South American troops recently, that he was
compelled to desert his band of brother cut
throats, who had been the terror of the whole
country round, and take refuge in q cavern
situated near the summit of one of the lofty
mountains of Sierra Profunda. In this cav
ern he had concealed female captive, whose
husband he had robbed and slain. The SOL
ders made several Intellectual attempts to
reach the abode of the culprit. Lagoberon,
a man of gigantic statue and herculean
strength, succeeded in beating them off by
rolling heavy rocks down upon them when
ever they approached. The officer in COM
mand OF the troops resolved, at first, to starve
the bandit out, but after two days blockade,
grew weary of so tedious an expedient, i'm
provised an escalade Of the chieflain's strong
hold, and succeeded in capturing him. 70
their horror, upon entering the cavern, they
found the poor woman in dying condition,
Lagoberon having cut off one of the breasts
OF his unfortunate captive and eaten it. The
inhuman butcher was conveyed to Talca,
where he was promptly tried and condemned
to die by the garrote. He was speedily con-
Quoted to the scaffold. and while the execu-
TONER was engaged in adjusting his toilette
de mort, the convict drew whistle which he
had concealed in his pocket and blew it
sharply; whereupon about sixty Of his follow
crs, who had introduced themselves amongst
the crowd surrounding the scaffold, rushed
upon the gendarmes and massacred them ere
they could offer any resistance. They then
freed their chief and garroted his would
executioner, after which they escaped, almost
unscathed, to the mountains, facilitating
their flight by seizing the horses Of the mur-
dered gendarmes. They also carried off
several women from the throng gathered to
witness the execution.
