4 LADY KILLED BY LIGHTNING WHILE
PRAYING WITH HER CHILDREN.-The
st. Joseph MO- Gazette of Saturday gives
the following particulars of the death by
lightning of Mrs. Lowell and Mr.. Blake
more, during the terrible storm in that vi
cinity on Thursday last. The house in
which the two persons named were killed
is situated about five miles southeast from
st. Joseph. 1t is three stories high, with
three principal rooms and hall on each
floor. When the storm commenced Mrs.
Lowell was up stairs in back room, read
ing the Bible to her little daughter. The
windows of the room having been blown
open, she took her children, ran down
stairs, passing from the hall into bed
room, put the children on the bed and
kneeled at the bedside. In this position
the lightning struck her, causing instant
death. Mr.. Blakemore was in the hall
and the same bolt killed him. Several
other persons were more or less injured.
Mrs Lowell was the wife of John S. Lowell,
of Warren county, Virginia. The two
daughters with whom she was kneeling in
prayer are aged respectively nine and six
years. They were uninjured.

High-Priced Horse

Abiding to the very high-priced fast
horses we are buying in the United States,
a New York letter-writter charges the
chief cause to the rivalry in the horse line
between Bonner and Vanderbilt. They
have contested the distinction of owning
the heetest animals in the world, and have
been ready to bid against each other to any
extent Thus far Bonner has been success
full, and the reason probably is because
the Commodore did not dream that any
man had the nerve to distance his figures.
In this he was mis- aiken, and his mistake
cost him the envied apre-eminence. He
did not know Bonner. The latter, indeed,
has been Il puzzle to the world, and has
proven himself in literature what Van
derbilt is in Wall street, though the Com
modore can beat him swearing. Bonner
has the finest tud of fast horses on record.
We have known Mr.. Bonner for about a
quarter of a century. Until he began to
buy fast horses we never knew him to
speak Of horse or give more than casu-
al glance at one, Calling his attention to
this fact one day, we asked him why he
had so suddenly become deeply implicated
in the matter of horses? "The truth is,
said he, "it all came of determination to
beat Vanderbilt; l won'tbe beaten in any
thing or by anybody" That is the man,
all over. it had been a contest about
pianos, or jack-knives, Bonner would have
ransacked the world for the best instru-
ments or the sharpest knives, and become
an enthusiast both in the search and the
possession.

Pinching Tom alto Vine.


We hear much through agricultural pa
pers about "pinching in" tomato plants to
make them more compact, and the fruit
ripen earlier. Have never seen any in
structions how this pinching in Is done.
Is it not from the head of the vine that the
fruit comes Pc. J. BRIDGE.
The principal object sought in pruning
tomato plants is to check the growth of the
vine, and force out fruit buds. II tomato
vines are planted in rich soil they will
usually grow vigorously and expend their
strength during the early part OF. the sea-
son in producing stems and leaves, show
ing little fruit until the plants have
reached large size, and then only that
which sets early will ripen except in very
favorable locations. Every one who has
cultivated tomatoes in the Northern States
and allowed the vines to grow unchecked,
must have noticed that not more than half
the fruit upon them reaches maturity, SIM
ply because the season is not sufficiently
long to permit the plants to exhaust their
fruit-producing powers and ripen. 1t is,
therefore, a waste of time and soil to allow
vines to grow unchecked in Northern To-
calities, and pinching may be practised
with benefit. AS soon as the plants are a
foot high pinch off the top; this will force
out strong laterals OIL the stems below, and
on these blossoms and fruit will soon APP
pear When the laterals are a foot, or a
little more, in length, their ends should
also be pinched off, checking the growth
of stems and leaves and throwing the
whole strength of the plant into the fruit,
and hasten its maturity If the object is
to produce ripe tomatoes instead OF green
ones, then allow no greater number to
start than is likely to mature, and this will
be much larger and better in consequence
of the treatment it has received. On poor,
light, sandy soils at the North, or in that
which is rich or otherwise, in the Middle
or Southern States, pinclling is seldom adj
visable, because it will usually weaken the
plants so much as to cause the fruit to be-
come diseased, or scalded by being exposed
TO the direct rays of the sun.
