Terrible Adventure.

The Paris PdmSe tells the following
story t"An adventure truly horrible,
and which, if made the subject of melo-
drama, would certainly be denounced as
improbable, has just occurred in the envi-
rons of ViterbO, in the Pontif1cal
States. A cattle dealer stopped at an inn
on the road not far from the CITY. He
seemed very well satisfied with the accom-
mediation and with himself, and he related
to the inn keeper that he had Just made an
excellent bargain about some cattle, by
which he had Melted sum of 5000 francs.
After supper, he started for the city, but
had not gone far before he was attacked
by three men, who tried to get him down.
He defended himself bravely, and succeed
ed in making his escape He returned to
the inn and related what had happened.
At the same time, he said he would sleep
there, as he did not wish, for fear of
another attack, to resume his journey un-1
til the next morning. Accordingly,
room was prepared for him, and he re-
tired to bed and soon fell asleep. In the
course OF the night he awoke, and heard
some one speaking outside the door.
What he heard filled him with horror.
The inn keeper was saying to some one
+" Dig the hole deep in the garden. 1
will throw him out of the window, and
you can bury him at once" The
traveller understood the situation
at once. They were going to muir
der him, and the inn keeper was in league
with the murderers to share the plumber
and conceal his body. He Immediately
rose and dressed himself, and, arming
himself with spade which was standing
In corner of the room, he waited. It
was not long before he heard some one
approach the door. 1t was opened softly,
and the cattle-dealer saw the inn.keeper
about to step into theroom. He immedi-
ately struck the wretch dead upon the
floor with the spade. The cattfe-dealer

The Carpenter.
BY THE "FAT CONTRIBUTOR"


BESIDES being a very useful, we might
say an indispensable, man in the commu-
nifty, we look upon the carpenter as a
soother and peace maker. for after the
architect has formed ofttimes wicked de-
signs upon your house, and puzzled you
with the Corinthian, the Ionic, the Doric,
proto .Doric and hunk Doric bewildered
you among pOrticos and columns, and TO-
itraves, and flutes and cornices, and pilas-
tiers and facades, and exasperated you
with his sprandrils, and traceries, and
cinque centos, and corbels, and trefoils,
and pendentives, and other architechni-
calities you don't know anything at all
about, the carpenter steps in and puts
your house in a good frame-makes every
thing plane, as it were, with the addition,
perhaps, of his square, chalk-line and
scratch-awl, ADJ, saw and few other tri.
| fling articles from his tool-chest. With
out the carpenter to plan and put to-
gether, your house would be in no frame
to receive the joiner and the paper-hang-
er, and various other representatives OF
the mechanic arts, who are dependent
upon his movements. So you see the i'm.
portant position he fills.
Although nothing but mechanic, yet
the carpenter is admitted into our very
best houses, and is often consulted re-
garding their arrangements. The rich
and the proud, who live in "stuck-u up
houses, have to get the carpenter to stick
'em up. The carpenter gets UP great
many stories on such people. We have
known him to get up five stories and a
Mansard roof.
Carpenters have knack of accumulat-
ing. There is Carpenters Shavings
Bank back OF nearly every carpenter shop,
where they deposit their shavings. The
poor are often allowed to draw on that
bank IF they don't draw off a wagon-load),
and no interest charged. Little shavers
are not considered of much account among
carpenters, as this is a profession in
which workman is known by his shay
ings.
The carpenter is charitably disposed to-
ward his fellows. He is not looking for q
mote in his brothers. optic, because there
is usually a beam, or at least scantling,
in his own eye, so, if by chance he should
discover the mote, he would simply re-
mark, so mote it be-" .s. "a 49,.
Several distinguished men began their
career as carpenters. There was the
Carpenter Of Rouen." We don't know
how he happened to be in ruin, but think
it was through drink. Then there is Mr..

joint transactions are carried on all over

The Apfary In September.

WHERE plenty of buckwheat is in bios
som there is little danger of robbing, but
when that fails, weak hives will be plum
dered at once unless protected. Make
the entrances to them narrow, so that the
bees may guard them, or remove them
without delay. No one should complain
of bees being robbed now, as prevention
is in his own hands Leave no refuse
honey near the apiary. Such may be
carefully fed to light hives. Remove dis
eased stocks now. There are too MANY
chances that they may be robbed to the
detriment of others. The bees of such
may be given to queenless stocks, but not
until after having been confined 36 hours
in an empty box, as a precaution against
infection. That portion of the contents
of diseased hives which consist of brood
and honey mixed, should be buried in the
ground-not particle of such honey
should be fed until it has been well scald-
ed and SKINNED. The portions free from
brood may be strained, scalded, and saved
for use. Condemned hives that are
healthy and strong enough to defend
themselves, may stand until next month.
Time will thus be given for the young
bees to mature and leave the combs clean
for next year. Italians seem almost ex-
empt from disease A heavy hive, though
queenless and having but few bees, if not
infested with worms, may be saved by
supplying queen and bees. Bees Of two
or more hives will unite more readily if
moved mile or SO. Where there are
few bees and no sealed brood, it is strong
evidence that there is no queen. When it
is desired to winter light stocks that have
but little comb, they must be fed freely,
that they may build comb and rear brood.
If attended to 1000, this may be done, but
it is not always the best economy. Where
there are plenty of bees and comb with "a
lack of stores, feed in October.-American

Farm Work after Harvest.

AFTER the labors Of gathering in
the hay and grain crops have been
finished, most of the farmers have before
them season of comparative respite,
lasting until the time comes for harvest
ing fall cereals, roots and fruits. During
this season of relaxation from arduous
duties, there are many things connected
with the pursuits of the husbandman
which do not require any great amount of
physical effort, but those which will prove
very advantageous if attended to. We
mentioned some of them last season,
which will bear repeating at this time.
Particular attention should be given to
the condition of meadows. All the OBJ
structions of the moving machine may
now be seen and removed, and the spots
least productive marked by sticking stakes
or otherwise, for future attention.
The present is good time to note the
effect of undertaking, and what advan-
tage to crops has been gathered by it /; the
advantage or disadvantage of drilling in
wheat; the difference, if any, in corn
planted by hand or with the planter;
covered deep or shallow, sprouted or dry.
Note the growth of different kinds Of
crops now in the ground, and the effect of
the several kinds of manure used. 1t is
well known fact that different kinds of
soil REQUIRE different kinds of fertilizers !;
and also that the various kinds of grains
and vegetables seek in part different ele-
ments to make up their growth, and by
noting now the effects from certain treat
ments, knowledge will be gained of value
for future use.
Note the progress of cions set from
cuttings made in the winter, as compared
with these taken off at the time of setting;
the growth Of vines and trees where differ
emit mulches have been used; the effects
Of different liquid fertilizers applied, etc.
Note the result of feeding whey to mich
cows, and the profits as compared to CIV
ing the same to hogs; of frequent sailing
of stock and the opposite; of soiling
mich cows with different kinds OF feed
of keeping swine in clover fields, etc,
etc. t3 s2'3f1s
Making notes of observations as we
have suggested, and others similar, will
to more in real profit to the
farmer than he would suppose, if care in
this particular direction has never been
exercised It is noticeable fact, that
our wealthy and prospecting farmers are
those who keep their eyes wide open, and
are continually watching the result of
different modes of farm operations, and
adopting such as are seen to be most profit
able.
An exchange wisely suggests that
farmers at this season now the roads,

but it Is consoling to know, that where time has
not been thus taken by the forelock, and the par
oxsyms have actually commenced, a complete cure
may, in all cases, be rapidly effected by the use OF
this powerful vegetable tonic. The reputation of
the Bitters as specific for dyspepsia. liver COM

some measure thrown into the shade Its merits as
a preventive and cure Of other ailments, but all
who have ever taken it, either as protection
against or a remedy for malarions fevars, will ad

tirely harmless and decidedly palatable.

LId ,SiA VlLLAGE--As we have stated in
another place, the heat at Ligonia Village or
Saturday was intense; in the yard of the Ker-
osene Works the thermometer stood at 100 ..
Swede employed in the Atwood Lead Works
was prostrated By sunstroke, and remained in
an insensible condition for some time, but has
now recovered.
Although there was no rain accompanying
the storm which passed over the village the
thunder was terrific, and the lightning remark
ably vivid and played curious pranks. The
thunder was very heavy and burst over the
village like the rattle of musketry. The light
ming struck a pole of the International Tele-
graph line and one belonging TO the Kerosene
Compapy's line, shattering an insuator,
sliverng the post and throwing splinters more
than hundred feet. The electric fluid was
distinctly seen running over the pipes in the
yard of the Kerosene Works, and a train of
cars loaded with iron standing ON the Rolling
Mills bridge was lshtened up with wierd
fame. .
A match game of base ball was played Sat-
urday afternoon on the Rolling Mill grounds
batween the Rivals of the city and the Unas Of
Ligonia. The Unas were the vctors by score

TORNADO AT THE OCEAN HoUsE-A tre-
mend GUS tornado passed over the Ocean House
on Saturday afternoon, which was most fright
full to witness, as we learn from'a spectator.
About three o'clock black, angry looking
cloud was seen coming up from the northeast,
but Mr.. Chamberlain, the proprietor of the
hotel, said he thought it would pass over like
the other clouds and they should get no rain.
But in few moments the storm burst upon
them in all its fury, consisting of wind and
rain. A boat standing on the shore by the fish
house was taken up by the violence of the tenn
pest, carried some five rods and broken in two.
The fish house was split in two as if it had
been paper. the earth was torn up in places, a
chimney on the hotel was partially torn down,
as well as several chimneys belonging to resi-
dents in that vicinity, the house shook like
leaf and the rain was driven in around the
sashes of the windows so as to badly wet the
carpets. A great limb, as large round as
mans body, was twisted off the big tree in
front Of the house as if it had been a twig and
the salt water from the ocean was blown up
ON to the leaves Of the tree, long distance,
causing them to shrivel and wither. The rain
poured down in such torrents that, united with
the wind, you could only see few rods out of
the windows, and a stream of water flowed
down the hotel stairs wetting everything. The
storm lasted about half an hour, and passed
away as suddenly as it came. Mr.. Chamber
lain says it was equal to the great gale of last
September in violence. I
