Frozen 10 Death.

A melancholy account comes to us from
Bullitt county regarding the wandering
from home and freezing to death OF the
child of Mr.. Philo Twiggs. Itappears that
the child, a boy about 8 years old, had a
~favorite dog, in company with which he
was in the habit of staying away from home
for hours. Saturday afternoon the boy
called his dog as usual, and they started
ont to spend the afternoon among the hills
but when night came they did not return.
The family of Mr.. Twiggs became alarm
ed for the safety of their child, and, after
mastering q posse ofneighbors, a thorough
search was made of all the surrounding
hills, but to no effect. Sunday came, and
still no news of the lost boy,
and the fear now became a certainty
that the boy and dog must have been
caught in the terrible hail-storm and dur
ing the night frozen to death. All day Sun
day passed, and still no tidings, but at day
light Yesterday the dog was found sitting
at the door of Mr.. Twiggs' residence, shiv
ering and hungry. He whined, howleC
and leaped around until he was fed, anC
then started back to where his little maste
was. A party of neighbors followed tn
dog about four miles, and finally beside
large rock, on the banks of Floyd's Fork
they saw the dog stop, they went to tn
spot, and there lay the ~lifeless body of tn
little boy cold in death. He had wanderers
around until he lost his way, and, nigh
overtaking him far from any shelter, b
persisted in the storm. The little boy wa
a general fsgorite among the people in til
vicinity, and his death is q sad blow I
them. The faithful dog had guarded tn
dead body of his little master until drive,
home by cold and hunger.-LouisUiAe Coz

Legend OF The Az.

The legends respecting the ass are as
quaint as they are Innumerable. Accord
ing to an old rabbinical legend, no being
could enter the ark unless Noah rendered
a special invitation. When the food over
whelmned the world, the uevil, b was
at the time wandering on the earth, saw
that he was about to be cut off from con-
tact with mankind, and that his dominion
would be lost forever. The ark being
completed, and the beasts called to enter
it in their proper order, the ASS turn came
in due course. Sadly enough for US hu-
mans, the ass was taken with q fit of obsti-
macy, and refused to enter the vessel ac-
cording to orders. Noah finally lost pa
thence, and struck the animal sharply, cry
ing at the same time to the heddstrong
beast: ENTER, thou devil" Rash and
Hateful words The invitation was, Of
course, accepted-the devil entered the
ark. We may be sure he gave the patrl-
arch and his family ome Trouble during
the V and he was on hand to begir
operations again on dry land as soon a
the disembarkment should take place

There is a very general understanding among farmers
as to supply and probable demand of this seed No
reasonable man, who knows the facts doubts for a
moment but that they viii come into general use, Just
as rapidly as the seed C an be tad, displaeing all others
from our soil If the entire product could be retained
in this country, it would require two more crops to
supply the seed wanted. But it is rapidly becoming
known in other countries. While we have not cOurted
foreign orders, wishing to reserve that market for
another year. the few samples sent there last year have
produced so well. that orders are daily reaching US from
all parts of Europe Even Norway is looking to us for
seed that bears her name, several important orders
having been received from there. Nearly fifteen percent
of the last crop will be exported. and probably not less
than = of the next will find ready sales abroad With
these facts before US, we Sannot expect a very great
reduction in price of seed next year. We have shown
that at price of ordinary oats, they are a profitable crop
At 81 per bushel, they will pay handsomely but at 50
or 81 il is an easy matter for a farmer to pay on mort
cages or build a new house from a few acres Last
season a aacre lot yielded Sl1.259 to a New York far
mer. a larger sum than he had made in ten years farm
ing. Wisconsin farmer did still better and hundreds
have made small fortunes These facts can be fully
proven any day by undoubted testimony. While these
high prices last, it is speculation, but IL Is safe and
sure. We hope no farmer will buy this seed unless he
fully believes he is doing himself a greater favor than
he is US. Many have thanked Us for urging themto buy
last year, and thousands viii do so next year.

DISCOVERY OF HUMAN BoNEs.-The peo-
pie of Woodbury., N. j., are greatly ex-
cited about the recent discovery of a large
bed of human bones on q farm about one
mile southeast of the town. The bed is
several feet in thickness, and two or three
rods in extent, and the bones are lying
within three feet of the surface. The
owner of the farm, before leaving for Phil
adelphia, gave instruction to his men to
cart some earth from an adjoining field
to cover a compost heap. On his
return in the evening he found
TO his surprise that the heap was
partly covered with human bones. The
neighbors were informed, aud upon exam
ination it was found that this mass of bones
were piled in together pr~omiscuously, and
are of an unusually large size. The bot
tom of the bed is thickly covered with
charcoal, and the lower tier of bones fall
to pieces as soon as touched. Those on
top are well preserved, and are but little
affected by the length of time buried. A
committee of townspeopls was appointed
to take some specimens to the Professors
of the Academy of Science of Philadel-
phia. and next week, a scientific examina-
ton will be made. 1t is supposed that
they are the bones of an Indian tribe, but
so far there are none of the Indian war
relics found among the homes, which leaves
some doubts on this point.

ssSOmetime.''

The following is one of Mr.. Prentice's
little waits, so many of which appeared
in the Louisville Journal in its palmiest
days:
'-Sometime-It is a sweet, sweet song,
warbled to and fro among the topmOst
boughs of the heart, and filling the whole
air with such joy and gladness as the songs
of birds do when the summer morning
comes out of darkness. and day is born on
the mountains. We have allour possessions
In the future which we call sometime.
Beautiful flowers and singing birds are
there, only our hands seldom grasp the one,
or our ears hear the other. But, oh reader,
be of good cheer, for all the good there is
a golden tSometime;' when the hills and
valleys of time are all passed; when the
wear and fever, the disappointment and
the sorrow of life are over, then there is
the place and the rest appointed of God.
Oh, homestead, over whose roof fall no
shadows or even clouds; and over whose
threshold the voice of sorrow is never
heard; built upon the eternal hills, and
standing with thy spires and pinnacles of
celestial beauty among the palm trees of
the city on high, those who love God shall
rest under thy shadows, where there is no
more sorrow nor pain, nor the sound of
weeping sometime"

A Young Lady's Hair Torn Out.
FrOm the WOpcester Spy.

Ayoung lady by the name OF Williams,
employed in the hoop skirt factory of D.
b. Fsnnina met with an accident on Fri
day, by which she lost her front hair. and
was injured about the head. She was down
upon the floor, engaged in cleaning up
around a revolving shaft, which rum under
q table or bench, and a few hairs on the
front OF her head got entspgled and wound
up with the shaft, without her knowledge,
until so much of it had caught that she
could not free herself. Her cries brought
the other girls of the room to her aid, and
while some of them were engaged in try
ing to throw off the belt that turned the
shaft, one, with quick thought as to whai
must be done, seized a knife and cut of
the hair before it had torn the poor girls
scalp off though it had raised 1t up in ar
ugly manner, and drawn her head so neal
that a set-screw struck her IN the face a
each revolution and cut q bad cash. She
was taken to her home on Southbridgt
street and medical aid procured.

NEW SAFETY VALyE--In view of the great
number of boiler e~xplosionsin the country
of late, much interest attaches to the series
of experiments just finished at the Wash
ington Navy Yard, under the direction of
Admiral DahIgren, with a double action
safety valve, invented by a Mr.. Boden, of
Louisville. The first trial was hydraulic,
the second by fire; and both were eminent
ly successful. In making the latter, the
boiler, having no water in it, was heated 10
as high a temperature as was deemed nee
essary, and then suddenly supplied with
water through a ten-Inch aperture. The
steam formed instantly, the outer valve
rose, the inner valve fell. and the necessary
relief was given. This trial at the navy
yard is the fifth to which the Boden valve
has been subjected, the first having been
by red heat-the second by black heat, and
one having been a deliberate attempt made
by practical steamboat engineers, with the
inventors consent to blow IN old boiler to
atoms. The attempt failed.

We have been to considerable expense in putting
farmers on their guard against the frauds that were
being perpetrated In the sale of Seed Oats, but not
until recently did we realize the magnitude of these
swindles. II. W. Marshall. of Cincinnati, Ohio. has
issued a circular much OF the C ntentsof which has been
copied from ours, representing thath he is our authorized
agent for the West, for the sale of the Ramsdel Nor
way Oats seed. We are informed by reliable parties in
Cincinnati, that he has sent out over HaJfG Milton of
these circulars, and is receiving thousands of orders.
He is a swindler, has never had any of our seed, nor any
communication with us
n. p. Boyer & Co, Publishers of a country paper
somewhere in Penn. issued a circular in a similar man
ner, claiming to have our seed, but when we exposed
the fraud they changed their tactics, and are NV
advertising that they import seed from Norway This
dodge is so ridiculous, in view of the fact that our seed
never came from Norway, and that we are filling orders
from that country, that Inteligen farmer are nothkely
to be deceived by it Samples sent US, which same
from them, have been pronounced New Brunswick
Oats by hundreds of farmers who examined them
Other parties are selling what they claim to be our seed
at prices varying from SL5O to So per busheL, all ''ar
raated, Of course, and some use our name Some Of
these parties are honest, but were themselves deceived
in the purchase of seed last year. Out OF twenty sam
Piles sent US of Norway Oats now being advertised
only two were genuine. We cannot 90 through
the whole list, but the above facts are sufficient Wa
have only TO request that those who buy Of such parties
and are disappointed IN their crops, will not condemn
our seed, as some did last year
Facts and igures have already been published, show
ing b. as reliable testimony as can be fOand IN the land
that the Ramsden Norway oats will produce from twice Il
three timesa as much TO the acre, are heavier and of bette
