was H shot it and seriousIy wounded in two places
by VIM. Coker, white, in the vicinity of Harris
vile. We have not learned the cause OF the
shooting. Coker has made his escape.
We learn from reliable source That on last
Sunday night, at Society Hill, Richard Oaall
was attacked. and fatally shot by Ben McCul-
Tough, both colored, at the house OF the latter.
The facts seem TO be these: Ben, VINO Is EN-.
ployed on o Peedee boat, had suspicion that
the deceased was too intimate with his (Ben's)
wife. On the night of. the murder he lett his
house, telling his wife that he would not re;
turn that night; but in order to satisfy himself
as to her conduct, he did return at late hour,
and found the deceased with her In the house.
Deceased attempted to escape. but after passing
out of the house was shot by Ben and died on
the spot. Ben made no attempt to elude the
officers of the law.

A Call on the Mayor Elect.

Mr.. Hogan, In Ward s, was nominated by both
parties.
A Call on the Mayor Elect.
The ateness of the hour at wtich the result
was definitely known .precluded the possibility
of arranging formal demonstration in honor
of the victory, but an impromptu procession
and visit to our honored and triumphant
standard bearer, General John A. Wagner,
was projected during the evening, and carried
out with all the manifestations of enthusiastic
Joy that the occasion 80 eminently warranted.
The procession hastily gathered, but receiving
fresh accessions of strength at every step until
Its numbers swelled to thousands, marched
up King street to George, and through
George street to the residence of the
Mayor elect. Here halt was made,
and three rousing cheers were given for the
gallant general. That gentleman responded
to the friendly challenge by an appearance,
and as soon as the enthusiasm had subsidized,
briefly addressed the assemblage. He thank
ed them cordially on his own behalf, but more
especially in the name of that party which had
ever been the foremost conservators of order,
good government aud justice in this city, for
their untirlng exertions In aid OF the ticket of
the Citizens Refofm party, exertions which
were now happily crowned with glort-
GUS success. The present triumph, he
said, potential as 1t was in itself
| and its own effects was but the portent of a
series of brilliant victories that would embrace
in its redeeming influence not only Charleston,
but the whole Palmetto State, and carry the
weight of its effect to every portion of the
once ''happy South" He thanked the colored
men for their cordial support, and took occa.
sion to give his assurance that they should be
fairly and proportionately remembered In the
distribution OF offices. His thanks were &C.
corded as well to the men of all nationalities
and all conditions of life who had unselhshly
put their shoulders to the wheel and achieved
victory in Wednesdays work of which they,
each and ALL might feel an honest pride. In
conclusion, General Wagener advised against
any public demonstration in honor of the vic.
tory, as 1t might inclte disorder, and lead to a
repetition in some degree of the disorder by
which the streets Of Charleston were dIsgrac.
ed last Monday night.
At the conclusion of General Wagener's ad.
dress, which was Interrupted by frequent and
prolonged applause, another round of cheers
were given, and loud calls were made for Major

of coarse food, but should have a little grain or
meal according to their size and age. They should
if convenient, run out part of the day. They
love to forage on a cattle dung-heap, and pick ont
the waste litter. Let them have all they want of
it, as it is a healthy variety for them. A dry pas
ture, when snow is off the ground, is a good
change for them also. We have wintered many
colts in our farming and found that nothing got
through the season easier than they. Their hair
gets long and sometimes rough. No matter, there
is n close fur under it, and it keeps them dry and
warm, and they are all the better in the spring
Enough to eat with good shelter, is all they want
to keep them healthy and growing. But they
should not run out with the cattle, as they are
liable to get hooked while they, in turn, drive the
cattle from their food. Every one to his own kind

Feeding ..A Feed Ter Pig.

Mr.. s. G. Stearn, celebrated English breeder
Of pigs, describes his management Of them as fol-
lows:
"Pigs eat the feed much better when it is fresh.
/ give them variety of meal, such as wheat,
maize, barley, and whateveris most convenient to
mix together. have it all wetted with cold wa
ter, and then scald it with boiling water. and
sprinkle it with salt. What is mixed one day is
used the next, thus giving sufficient time to allow
the food slightly to ferment and cool sufficiently
to feed with. This is my winter plan, but in the
summer mix all with cold water, and feed with
cold food Between meals l give them whole
maize, and mangold wurzel or swedes cut small,
little coal and soil occasionally, and allow them
plenty of clean water When pigs are put up for
fattening, find nothing better to feed them with
than barley and maize meal, mixed together into
Stops, water always kept by them, and a little
mangOld cut for them occasionally. 1t is very
beneficial to wash and brush as often as conve-
nienf. This is quickly done by experienced hands,
and will amply repay for the trouble. am Ger
tain that the cottagers would find their pigs fat
ten good deal faster if they would wash and
brush them, and feed them with warm food, in
stead of food and ice; and that they would he well
paid for any little extra trouble it might cause
them. They should also be fed two or three times
a day. GoOd-bred and well-fed store pigs will al
ways consume the refuse which bad-bred ones
would refuse"

Preseesie. ef winter wheat.

1t is suggested by q western farmer, says The
Maryland Farmer, that wheat fields may be pro-
sowing eats with the wheat, or rather sowing oats
first and covering them, and then follow in day
or two with wheat. 1t is thought the oats will
help protect the wheat during the winter, disap-
pearing. of course, in the spring Another plan is
to mulch the wheat, late in the fall, with fine
manure, or lacking this, with coating of straw.
What effect either of these plans may have in pro-
tecting the wheat from the severity of the winter,
we do not know. One all of them might be
tried on small lots of ground and their compare
tive merits be tested at triflng expense. As the
country becomes Invested of the forest trees the
wheat fields are exposed to increasingly severe
trials from wind and frost. Less snow fally now
than formerly, and what does come is borne from
the wheat fields by the winter blasts which career
over them since Invested of the protection of sur
rounding forests

Storing Potatoes.

As the time has arrived for potatoes-the early
sorts to be harvested, 1 wish to say to those who
have them to harvest, to put them in barrels as
the best mode of disposing of them. There are
those who have tried this for years, and can not
be persuaded to keep their potatoes in any other
way. Dig and expose to the air till dry; then put
mp as directed taking the barrels to the field.
Store in the cellar. any part most convenient.
The advantage is that the air is not exposed as
with open bins, which often vitiate il, and always
leave potato odor. You have nothing of this.
Another advantage; you can put where most con-
venient and move at pleasure, with little Difficult
ty, and you may place tier upon tier of barrels till
up to the floor. When il Ia wished to use any,
barrel is opened and used, and 80 on with the rest
leaving no dirt, the ground remaining in the bar
rel Or, if it is wished to sell, they are already
put MP. Any barrel will do, 30 that it il strong
enough-a salt barrel rs good as any.-Coxsty

1t is not generally known that the art of pre-
serving fruit in had its origin in Gettysburg,
as the result of the experiments made by the late
Professor Jacobs, in the winter of 1s45 and 1886.
Knowing that meats had long been preserved in
cans, and referring the preservation of fruit by
means of sugar to the action of the syrup in ex-
Gliding the air, he commended that better and
more economical application of the same principle
might be made. Reducing the fruit to a pulp, or
surrounding it with q sufficient amount Of liquid
to fill up all spaces the air expelled by rails
ing the heat to the boiling point. The cans being
then filled and soldered to be air tight, the
experiment proved perfect success. COmmuni-
Gated at first to few of his friends, the art was
rapidly made known, 80 that in three years time
it had spread to all parts of the country.-Phila-

The Deacon was not very much behind, If the
following story be true. In q small town ON the
Schuylkil River, there is q church in which the
singing had run down. 1t had been led many
years BY one of the deacons, whose voice and
musical powers had been gradually failing. One
evening the clergyman gave ont the hymn, which
was in an odd measure, rather harder than usu-
al, and the deacon led off. Upon it's conclusion
the miAister rose and said:
"Brother D. will please repeat the hymn as
] cannot pray after such singing"
The deacon very composedly pitched into anoth-
Their tune, and the clergyman proceeded with Ills
prayer. Having finished, he took mp the book to
give the second hymn, when he was interrupted
by the deacon gravely getting up and saying in
voice audible to the whole congregation:
"WiIl Mr. make another prayerf 1t would
be impossible for me to sing after such prayer
