a Hcart.Rcnding Calamity I'm Ronne
Comfy.

The following distressing story we
clip from the Mason Co,0,ty Jomnal Of
the 10th inst. We hope it may prove
uniounded-it looks q little snaky:
\ gentleman just from Roane county,
gives the particulars Of most heart
rending calamity that happened last
week on Spring Creek ia that county,
and by which one family was bereft OF
four children in less than an hour.
A lady whose name our informant
had forgotten, residing upon the above
named creek, had gone down to it in
the morning for the purpose Of doing
'thc weeks washing" taking with her
the Youngest child, an infant of about
year old, leaving her other three at the
house. While engaged at her work she
heard suppressed screams at the house;
taking up her little child from the soiled
clothes upon which it was sitting, she
placed it in an empty wash tub to keep
it from crawling into the creek during
her absence, and FASTENED to the house,
where she met her eldest child with its
head frightfully disfgured and swollen.
She hastily CLEANED from this one that
the three children had crawled under
the house in search Of eggs: that while
under something had hurt them, and
that the other two children were still
under the house The mother, upon
looking under the house, found them
dead with several moccasin snakes "a
very poisonous and deadly species)
crawling around their bodies. The
neighbors were alarmed, and by their
assistance the snakes were killed and
the unfortunate children taken out, their
bodies presenting n frightful and sick
ening appearance. BY this time the
elder one was corpse The mother in
her despair and agony had forgotten un-
til now her little one at the creek, and
upon going down to the creek for ii, it
was only to find it also corpse in the
creek. 1t is supposed that the little
child climbed up in the tub and was
holding on to the lower edge of it, when
the tub upset, rolling the child into the
water below and drowning it. 1t is
said the mothers grief was so great
that at last accounts she was raving
maniac.

Start fhe Plows.

7 Important advantages are gained by
blowing stubble ground soon after the
crop is taken off. The weeds and stub.
bic viii decay very rapidly during the
hot weather, forming an excellent ma
nme; many weeds will be prevented
from maturing their seeds, and some
seeds that haye remained dormant in
the soil viii be brought into condition
to terminate, SO that they may be killed
by the frost or by later blowing
Another great advantage is, that fresh
stratum of soil is thrown to the surface
to absorb the ammonia from the atmos-
phere, and to be acted on by other gases
floating in the air. 1t is, a maxim with
the best farmers that stirring the soil
enriches it, whether there he growing
crops upon it at the time or not-hence
the plan OF summer following.
8 If stubble ground is plowed rather
shallow; and again a little deeper
about the twentieth of November, it
would probably produce a better crop of
corn next year than it would If it was
left unplowed until spring and then a
fair coat, of manure applied.
We are aware that the scattered grain
is Of some Importance, and many farm
ers commence fattening their hogs by
turning them into the stubble field
but with proper care in harvesting,
there will be very little grain left on
the ground, to justify the delay Of the
plow. II, however, poor machinery
and careless workmen have been en-
ployed in the harvest, a horse rake,
while the dew is on, will soon
gather up nearly all that is OF any
value, and it may then he fed to the
hogs NF
Buff, as we suggest, the first blowing
be shallow, the hogs may be turned III,
and they will find portion, at least, of
the grain that is plowed under, and en-.
rich the soil by roofing it over. What
Tie hogs do not obtain will grow and
form green crop to be plowed under in |
Owing 10 the dry weather which !
sometimes prevails at the time and ,
some weeks after harvest, it may he
lificult to adopt this plan in all its de-
.ails; but it is very seldom that the
ground is baked when the grain is cut,
and il the plow is started Immediately |
here will be no trouble from drouth. -

Lafe-Keeping Apples.

The Horticultural Editor OF the
Prairie Farmer received q box of Viii
low Twig apples nearly at midsummer,
from Kansas, in excellent condition.
The correspondent who forwarded
them states that such fruit has been
sold the 10th Of June, for $3.50 per
bushel-a small wagon load bringing
500. They are kept on wide shelves,
in darkened, well ventilated cellar.
The willow Twig is one Of those varie'
ties remarkable for its fine smooth ap
pearancc, although not Of the highest
quality. We formerly cultivated 1t IN
Western New York, but it did not
reach the size and flavor Of the speci
mems received from Southern Ohio and
other similar localities.

Some 325 head changed hands yester,

Candid.

Greeley ingeniously states as a reason
why the Republicans were defeated last
week in North Carolina that compare,
lively there are fewer negroes in that
State than there are in the cotton States.
This confession shows that the Northern
Republicans are fully aware of the pos
ton which their party holds in the
South. They know that it is nothing
but negro party. But for negro votes
no Radical could be tound foolish
enough even to be a candidate for any
office in the gift OF the Southern people
