The SENSATION BURGLAR ACQUTTTED.-John
H. Lewis, whose recent arrest on the charge OF
burglary and larceny was so well ventilated in
the paolic prints OF yesterday, was brought be-
fore Trial Justice Schroeder yesterday morning
for examination, but, strange to tell, none Of his
numerous victims appeared against him. The
examination was postponed until the afternoon,
to allow the witnesses TO be brought In, but, at
P. NJ, none could be found. After taking the
evidence OF the detectives, and considering the
suspicious circumstances attending the actions
OF the prisoner, the justice decided that the evl.
dence against him was only clrcumstantial, and
not sufficient TO warrant his detention for trial.
He,wss, therefore discharged, but8ept about the
Detective ONCE until evening, when he was
escorted up to the South Carolina Railroad Depot
by an oficer and carefully placed on the train.
He is now supposed to be on his way to the far
West, and, before leaving, was. exuberant In his
thanks for the kind and courteous treatment
which he has received from the detective officers.

CHURCH BURST AT SOCIETY HILL.-On

nothing was sRved-not even the Bible on the

races is altogether cordial, and although the in.

FARM AND HOME.
Oiled Floors.


The Manufacturer and Builder says:
Oiling improves floor in several ways.
Grease-spots, of course, will not affect the
wood thus treated; and much less scrub
bing than is necessary for plain floor will
suffice to keep it clean. Moreover the APP
pearance is improved by the oil. Many of
our native woods, prepared in this man
ner, become positively handsome. Final
", it gives the surfuce a harder texture,
which makes it wear longer and more uni
formly.
Paint costs more, takes longer to dry,
and wears off more easily, since 1T simply
forms a crust or coating upon the surface
while oil penetrates the wood. Hence an
oiled floor looks better than painted one,
especially if a little color, such as Van
Dyke brown, lumber, or burned sienna is
added to the oil.
To prepare a floor in this manner, take
raw linseed oil, or some cheap oil not of
fensive in odor, and capable of drying;
mix it, if desired, with some such trans
parent color as those mentioned above;
and apply il with n common paint brush.
Law il ON smoothly so that it will strike
in uniformly over the whole surface and
not stand in spots. This may be done at
night, after the days work and the place
will be ready for use again the next morn
ing As far as the oiled surface is con-
cerned it might be stepped upon at once
without injury but there would be dan
ger in that case of tracking the grease to
other parts of the house a new coat of
oil, applied in this way once or twice
year is sufficient to keep floor in order.
This treatment is to be heartily recon-
mended for the floors of kitchens, pantries,
verandas, closets, bathrooms, and labor
ers' bedrooms. 1t is also q good plan in
children's apartments, particularly in
training them to do their own house
work, to leave without carpet or mating
that part of the floor where the bed
stands, with few feet around it, and to
oil the wood. The floor under the bed can
then be easily kept free from dust, and the
sweepings can be readily removed; while
washstands, etc., can be so disposed as to
give the youngsters free scope for their alb
buttons, without injury TO carpets.
In contingencies, the plan might be
carried still further. We recently had all
the floors in a newly-built house oiled;
and we think it wise economy. Many
well-to-do families in Europe have no
carpets at all !; and, though there are some
disadvantages in such course, there are
certainly some points gained. We think
it gives cleaner houses, with less house
cleaning. Putting down, taking up, and
beating carpets is the most vexatious and
laborous part of our domestic economy,
as their cost and destruction constitute one
of its great items of expense. Still, we do
not attack carpets-though, speaking of
attacks, what a tax the tacks are I'VE
only say, where you don't need carpet,
by all means oil your floor.

those whom 1 met was Mrs. Bristol, who
stated that she had seen it recommended
in the Rural Nei0 Yorker that in butter
making it was of advantage to strain the
cream before churning. She had been
trying the plan since that time, or since
last October, and had found it decided
improvement. 1t increased the quantity
of butter, and by following out the sug-
gestion in their own dairy she had been

THE BEST BREED OF FowLs.-'fhe
question is frequently asked; Which is the
best breed of fowls, all things considered,
for this climate? After an experience of
over thirty years with various breeds, in
GLIDING the common mixed breeds, white
Leghorn, Black Spanish and Light Brah-
ma, 1 give a most decided preference to
the Light Brahma. They are hardy, and
easily raised, mature early, and commence
laying at six to seven months old-the best
Of layers, and for winter layers superior to
any other breed; very fine for the table,
and are always fat. Their quiet disposi-
ton makes them easy of confinement, a
picket fence, four and half feet high, be-
Ing sufficient to keep them. Besides, they
usually, at maturity, weigh from ten 70
less feed, in proportion TO their weight,
than the common mixed breed they are
much more quiet, which, probably. is the
cause.-LOckPort.
