Us, Montgomery had a very narrow es-
cape with valuable horse of late. In
turning a corner while narrowing, his hors-
es got entangled in the rigging and got
away from him. The accident ended with
upturned harrow, and his best horse in its
struggles to free itself from everything was
thrown on to the harrow teeth, three of
which entered the horse-one at the cavi-
ty of the bowels-making severe wounds,
but is recovering.

Mr.. J. d. Goodrich is now preparing for
market five tons of honey, the largest
amount sent by any manufacturer in the
state. Mr.. G. this season, from 80 swarms
of bees which comprise his own stock, has
produced one ton Of the above amount;
the remaining four tons was purchased
from other manufacturers in the vicinity
Much of this is in an unmarketable con-
dition. To put this into a form that shall
be neat and attractive to the dealer Mr. G.
exhibits much skill. BY furnishing boxes
to those of whom he purchases honey he
has in this form eight hundred boxes of
honey which needs no preparation but
paeking-going to market just as the air
left them. These are made all of a size
four sides of which are Of glass-the tops
and bottoms of wood. They each hold six
pounds of honey, and are worth seeing in
this age of adulteration. But the princi-
pal labor is in preparing that part found
in most all apiaries not in a condition for
market. This Mr.. G. puts up in glass jars,
self-sealing and holding four pounds each.
The best part of the comb of a certain lot
is cut out, and in each jar is placed two or
three pieces of it, and the remainder of the
jar is filled with strained honey. Putting
it up in this way it makes AZ neat and sale
able appearance as box honey. He is fill
ling fifteen hundred jars this season. The
box honey finds amarket in Boston and the
jar is partly sold in New York and partly
in other markets. 1t is all sold for about
thesame price-30 cents per pound. From
Mr.. G.'s ffty-fve swarms he then realizes
5000 and furnishes $4,000 worth for mar
ket Judging from appearances he makes
this very profitable business.

LOWELL.
Under circumstances to the inquisitive
public mind mysterious, an Irishman nam
ed John Murray, so years of age, was found
dead on Sunday evening, Aug. 28th, sup
posed to have come to his death by fit. 1t
appears that the only one who had been
living with him of late was sister, who
testified that on the afternoon of Tuesday
previous he left the house, as she said, to
burn some rubbish in the field, and as he
did not return she concluded he had gone
to a neighbours. He was not accustomed
to stay away over night, apd she became
worried about him, and though she had
been to the neighbor's several times during
; the intervening time of over three days. she
2 had given no alarm. When asked why
! she did not create alarm, she said she die
not know. On Sunday Ed Murphey called
and after enquiring for Mr.. Murray, pro-
: posed to Henry Coolbeth. Ia brother-in-law
!; of Mr.. Murray to 60 in search, and in do
ing so found the body of Mr.. Murray about
twelve rods from the house in the oper
field, his clothes, except his boots, burned
! off-his body badly crisped, wound ovel
one eye, and laying few feet from where
f there had been any fire, as also from thu
s place where the buttons of his clothes were
!, found, with his neck across a stump roo
: and broken; with his hands folded upor
, his breast as if placed there for the coffin
. Among the strange things, it is said tina
Coolbeth was knowing to Mr.. Murray
! strange disappearance, went twice within
+ eleven PAGES of the body fully exposed t
j sight, in open day, and dug potatoes TO
+ his family, and yet, as he claims, did no
see it. Also it is very remarkable that h
