who resides outside of this city, and who, Tumor
states has been partial to another mans wife Tor
some time past. (she a resident of Georgetown,)
made arrangements with his inamorata to meet
him at the Baltimore Depot, with baggage Ia
beIied in his wife's name, to take northern trip
TO Saratoga and other fashionable resorts. Under
pretext of business trip North, he had his own
clothing prepared by his wife, and sent II to
the depot. His wife, 1t seems, suspectng
his motive, before the time for the train to start
repaired to the Baltimore depot and apphed 70
Mir. Collins, the baggage agent, tor both neI
own and her husbands baggage, stating that she
had changed her mind about going on the UP
Not knowing the lady personally, the agent %
clined to deliver 1t to her; but on her 5rinT'
several persons mutually known tc Doth oa,s.s,
and the agent to vouch for her, the baepsrs Nl

REPAIR OF THE AQUKDUCT BRIDGK-This
morning the labor OF repairing the Aqueduct
bridge was begun under the direction of Mr..
John Hammond, the contractor. New flooring
is to be laid and new beams and cross timbers
put in. The foOtway will be raised about eight
inches higher than the carriage and car way.
1t is believed that the work of repairing the
bridge will be finished by the LIST prOximo. Mean
while the street cars stop on the other side of the
bridge, and everybody Is compelled to cross the
Bird estreet structure in coming into or leaving
the city. There is considerable complaint here
because there are no transfer cars on this side
to convey passengers to the bridge, and from the
latter to the terminus of the railroad route. In
failing to convey passengers from Washington
to this city ii is claimed that the railroad COM
pany violates its contract with its passengers.

EVER SINCE the sewing machine was invented
many attempts have been made to construct a
sonable price. To the Mclean & Hooper and to
the Wilson Sewing Machine companies belongs
the credit of having succeeded in attaining this
object The Mclean Hooper Company has pro-
duced a machine which sews directly from two
spools, forms the elastic lock-stitch, and runs
lighter than any other machine using two
threads. The Wilson Shuttle Machine bears the
palm of excellence as frst-class tailoring ma
chime, being more durable in construction and
better in the arrangement of its working parts,
easily managed Shuttle machine than any OF i its
competitors. Price lst:-McLean & Hooper

Look to your squash vines. A Single ex-

of dark brown eggs, as large as pin head,
under the leaves. These should be carefully

curious creatures, at first little more than a
clump ofblack bugs. AS they grow larger
they have bright green bodies. and destroy

TIE UP THE GRAPE VINEs.-As soon
as the. vines have grown sufficient to
make a tie to secure the vine to the
trellia, the work should be performed.
1t is unwise to leave it until the vines
have made four or five feet to each shoot
and become tangled mass; because
such neglect, or leaving, involves extra
labor and oftentimes mutilation of the
vine to the injury of the crop. For
tying, some use cotton Irvine, some will
low some rye straw, and one in thou
sand possibly may use the Underhill
vine lock. We use the common reed or
bog grass, and for several years have
found it one ofthe best and cheapest Of
tying materials. 81

FARM Frs COLUMN.

CULTURE OF SMALL GRAIN.-The other
day, while riding near Mossville, in this
county, we called upon Jacob Littleton,
with whose farm everybody in this sec
ton is acquainted. In talking over the
subject of farming generally,we remarked
that every farmer ought to keep a book
account with all of his crops. In that
way he could tell what he was making
money on, and how much, and whether
it would pay to push any particularsthlng
or discontinue raising certain others. DIR.
Littleton answered that that was precise
" his plan. His stock, fruit, grain, wine,
and all other accounts were kept sepa-
rate, and he knew just how much each
branch cost, and whether it paid to raise
it. To our question what paid the best,
he answered, "Small grains, especially
wheat" We asked him how, in the name
of common sense, he would manage to
raise small grain at profit when every
body else lost money or led starving life
at it. To be brief, this is the plan. He
raises fall wheat In the autumn he pre-
pares the ground and when he sows his
wheat he adds bushel of oats to the
acre. In due time the seed terminates
and comes up. The oats get the start Of
the wheat, and by the time winter sets In
are knee.high, while the wheat is only a
few inches. The cold weather in winter
kills the oats and it falls over the wheat,
protecting it from the weather and
mulching it so that in the Spring the
wheat makes an astonishing growth. Last
year, by pursuing this plan, the land of
Mr.. Littletons yielded thirty bushels
of wheat to the acre, which he sold at
dollar and forty,fve- cents bushel. He
sent to Indiana and procured the seed. It
