SEIF-sOwN NEEEENAs.-I. Il. Case.
Rlchmond, Ind, writes Every year,
after our verbcnas have done blooming,
we cover over the beds with straw or
chip dirt and in tie carly spring, after
digging an! working the beds, the self
sown verbcnas come up in great quaint
ties, and none from the greenhouse can
excel them in size, beauty, or brilliancy
OF color. We have all the intermediate
shades of color, from pure white to a
very dark purple or plum color indeed,
almost black, and often some of the finest
striped varieties These sclf-sown seed
lngS OF course are not rs early rs those
raised otherwise, but they crow amon9
other plants without much care; and il
they prove worthless, or in the way, they
can be easily pulled up, while, if fine,
they well repay one for their waiting.

A SINGULAR Cusro M.--An English pa
per reports that July 25th was the day ap-
pointed for carrying out the directions coll-
tanned in thewill of Joseph Knill, OF st.
Ives. a seaport town in Cornwall. This gen.
tleman, who was formerly Collector OF the
Port prior to his death, in 1888, made q
most eccentric will, by which he directed
that an obelisk should be- erected, to his
memory. He also directed that every hye
years ten maidens not exceeding ten years
of age, two old women and q fiddler should
dance around this monument, now known 90
"Knilps steeple.y The maidens and. old
women were each TO receive half 2 guinea,
and the fddler3one guines. In ddd.i,n 70
these bsquests the oldest man IN the parish
who had brought up the largest family By
his own industry was to receive fye pounds
sterling. After the ceremonies, are over .the
trustees Of the fund and the Mayor and ecef-
poration of st. Ives proceed 70 din1ets on
which, agreeable to the Will, csrtaiti
amount Of money is spent: On the last
celebration the day was keptas q general
holiday by the people Of the town. -

to one of the editors of that paper, In the
presence ofseveral well-known gentlemen, the
following remarkable story: J. B. Maxey, an
intelligent. citizen of Bells Depot, in this
County, and keeper of the hotel in that place,
and for whom A. A. Freeman vouches as a
reliable, truthful man, was fishing in canoe,
OH July 7, in Forked Deer River, near Bell 8
Depot, and in that part ofthe river between
the railroad and dirt road 'brid dges, when his
attention was called2t an object in the river,
some fifty yards distant, which presented the
appearance. of a man drowning. Maxey
ro~ed his Boat within ten feet of the object,
and saw q remarkable creature, as the follow
ing description will testify. 1t had face per-
fectly white features like those ola human
being. It had something like moss on it's
head instead of hair, and its neck was longer
than the neck of q man. It's body, down to
the waist, or 80 much d, ,it.as was exposed,
was covered with BLACK and white spots. 1t
wBsas large as an ordinary man, and had
large black eyes, Jakey was within ten feet
oft ten minutes. he did not;sce any arms
ItIooked at him andslewly turned around
and disappeared in the water: Thomas Neal,
