Another horrible tradgedy has occurred at
the town of Winchester. Two brothers named
Hinshaw went to town, one Of them went into
. saloon and and engaged in game Of cards
with three other men named Hill, Page and
Heaston. The latter were all playin5 against
Hinshaw. An alteration ensued in which
Hinshaw was badly beaten and seriously in-
jured. His brother was sent for to take him
home. While he was being placed in wagon,
his brother overheard Heaston make a remark
which aroused his passion. The brother sprang
to the sidewalk and stabbed Heaston fatally /,
and he died within few minutes. Page, Hill

Chalk for Calves aud Lambs,

WHEN an animal is found licking its
fellow, it is proof that uneasiness is pres
ent in the stomach, and the licking of its
neighbOr Is habit contracted by instinct,
with view of removing the UNPLEASANT
ness. Unfortunately, instinct is not at all
times sufficient to avoid dangerous prac-
tees. To overcome this evil propensity
in the young animal a very simple expe-
dent is at hand If we take for granted
that the stomach is at all times fully
charged with acid matter, we shall, with
out much Hesitation, find a remedy.
Calves being generally housed together
for time, previous to turning out 1t is
only necessary to procure some shallow
troughs, into which is placed a quantity
of common chalk, which the young stock
will OF fail to make themselves acquaint-
ed with. A constant supply should be
kept in the troughs. If one animal has
super abundance OF acid secretion, it will
most certainly swallow some of the chalk,
which need not assert will as certainly
neutralize the excess of acid. If an ami
mai has not acid in excess, and partak es
OF the chalk, IL will do no harm. 1t is
often too late to administer remedies to
young stock when suffering from such
diseases as are produced by concretions In
the stomach, and the placing of chalk
within their reach cannot be made too
early. l hope your readers will not fail
to take this hint, as know from long ex-
perience it is the best and cheapest safe
guard. In regard to lambs, the same re-
marks apply with equal force, but there
are diilicUlties in the way, as they are
generally more numerous and are always
in the open cir; however, where troughs
are employed for the use of ewes, lumrs
OF chalk can be placed.-Cor. Agric7sssu ~

Promises 10 Children,

PARENTS ought to realize, when max
ing promises to their children, that failing
to keep them, unless good and sufficient
reason is given, is greviOus wrong.
Children lose courage under repeated
promises that lack fulfillmtnt Especially
is this the case with farmers boys They
are often promised if they will bring up
some calf or lamb by hand, that it shall
be theirs their own to do with as they
please. The child, flushed and eager,
takes the promise in good faith, runs and
tends and feeds his pet until there springs
up mutual affection between the child
and the animal Sooner or later the farm
er disposes of the animal to the butcher,
or trades it off as coolly as if it was h s
own, which it rightfully is not. This is
done again and again and by and by the
boy, discouraged with hopes proving false,
goes off into the world to labor, and the
man never ceases to wonder why none of
his boys will remain with him.
This matter was brought out in full
force little time since, by the converse
ton of an old and respected citizen of B.

Flax Culture aud ihreShing.

Flax growing has become an interest of
magnitude in some parts of the country, and
is extending to new sections. Nearly q mil
lion acres were grown in the interior States
last year $500. It's culture is found profta-
BILE and is likely TO be greatly stimulated, now
that there is a market not only for the seed,
but for the fiber, and also an economical
method of threshing and saving the seed. In
addition to numerous oil mills which consume
the seed at remunerative prices, many flax
mills for the manufacture of the fiber or tow
into bagging, are in operation, of which Ohio
has thirty-four Indiana ten, Illinois six, and
Wisconsin, Minnesota Michigan, Iowa, Mis-
souri, and Kentucky one to three each One
impeachment to flax culture heretofore has
been the incapacty of ordinary threshing ma
chimes to thresh 1t economically, owing to the
tendency of the fibre tow to catch and
wind on everything it comes i'm contact with.

came down again, and another day was
passed in uncertainty and doubt.
During the afternoon, l endeavored to
form some idea of the size of the berg, but
was unable to do so. The highest point
we could see appeared to be about one
hundred and fifty feet in altitude; but it
rose so precipitously from the little plain
on which we spent our first night, that
we could not ascend it, so were unable to
form any conjecture as to its shape or size.
One fear alone haunted me, and that was
that it might capsize, and could not help
remembering that had on previous occa-
sions seen icebergs do so without giving
any warning, save premonitory rocking;
but this was not destined to be our fate,
and our third night passed unmarked by
any accident.
About noon of the fourth day the glo-
rious sun shone out, and quickly dispelled
the fog, and our eyes were gladdened by
the sight of the distant shores of New
foundland.
Anxiously was the horizon scanned for
fshing-vessels, but none were seen; and
then remembered that it was Sunday,
and that most of the boats would have
made their ports the hight before. Our
own boats were s-ove and useless, so all
we could do was to hold the usual Sun
day service, and patiently await the adj
vent of another day.
Next morning we were up betimes; but
hour after hour passed and still no well
come sail hove in sight, and we felt the
! full truth Of "hope deferred maketh the
heart sick :" but just before sunset, the
welcome cry of " Sail, Ohr' sent flood
of Joy to our bosoms, and couple of fish
ing boats were seen heading well up for
| Us.
To charge our remaining mounted gun
and fire it was but the work of moment
and before the smoke had cleared away,
we had the Joy of seeing them steer direct
for u.s.
All was cow happiness and joy, and
thought no better time could be chosen
for sending up our thanks for our almost
miraculous preservation
Soon after this was done the boats hove
to close under the schooner's stern, and
heaving lines to us we were brought along
side.
Unbounded was the establishment OF
the fishermen, and hearty and warm their
congratulations on our escape.
/ at once chartered them to convey
ourselves and as many of our stores as
could be saved, to st. Johns; and, next
day, having removed into them as much
as they could carry we set fire to the
wreck, and made sail for that port, where
we arrived safely, and from whence re-
turned to Halifax by packet. Arriving
there, we were tried by Court of Inquiry
for the loss Of the schooner, fully acquitted
Of all blame, and congratulated on our
