A JOKE ON WARRENToN, VA
few weeks ago a dentist came to
town, and advertised that he would
"remove all of a persons teeth for 81,
and insert a new set for $40, besides
six months credit" The Warrenton
people are very fond of bargains, so
there was a rush for the dentists office.
He was busy for two weeks pulling
teeth, and at the end of that time
half the people had empty gums, and
a bone dust factory in the neighbour
hood doubled its workmen, SO as to
grind up the teeth. Meanwhile the
people were waiting for the dentist
to fit them with new sets the ADAM
doned scoundrel clored with the he
tel-keeper's wife +; and now there are
two or three thousand people in the
town who cannot eat anything tough
err than soup or farina. All the
butchers have failed, and not acraek-
er has been sold in three weeks. One
man, it is said whitfield out set of
wooden teeth for himself; but the
first drink of whiskey he took--War-
renton whiskey-set them in blaze
and his funeral came off the next
day. The dentist will hear of some
thing greatly to his advantage if he
comes back. Was.esstoa, Ka., Sea

New MoDE OF PLANTING SWEET

New MODE OF PLANTING SWEET
PoTAToEs.--A writer from Texas
gives the Country Gentleman a new
mode of planting the sweet potato,
which he says is worth twenty times
the subscription price of the paper
to those living in the sweet potato
region. He directs that only the
largest potatoes should be selected
for seed, instead of the smallest as is
the usual practice. At the time of
bedding out the potatoes, procure a
barrel, or box, that will hold water.
Fill this with corn. cobs, and add
liquid manure till the cobs are en-
tirely submerged. Let these stand
still till the potato plants are ready
for transplanting, by which time the
cobs will be rotten, though still hold
ing together. Draw the plants and
wrap each once around cob, which
bury.in the ridge previously prepar-
ed, leaving the end of the vine out.
The philosophy of the proposition
is apparent. The decayed cob-it-
self first rate fertilizer-is thor
oughly saturated with the liquid
manure, and the two elements COM
bined furnish an ample supply of
plant food to sustain and perfect the
potato, regardless of the character
of the soil. There is another advan-
tage. BY treating the plants in the
manner directed, the farmer need
not await a rain for trans-planting,
as the saturated cob would furnish
sufficient moisture to its entwining
plant, even in the driest season.
We do not hesitate to commend the
plan--especially to those cultivaiing
thin soils--as worthy of a trial, and
and we invite report of results
from those of our planting friends
who test the matter the coming
season.

SLEEPING ToGETHER..-The claws
of Life" says More quarrels arise
between brothers, between sisters,
between hired girls, between school
girls, between clerks in stores, be-
tween apprentices, between hired
men, between husbands and wives,
owing to electrical changes through
which their nervous systems go by
lodging together night after night
under the same bed-clothes, than by
any other disturbing cause. There
is nothing that will derange the
nervous system Of person who is
eIiminative in nervous force like ly-
ing all night in bed with another per-
son who is almost absorbent in nerv-
Gus force. The absorber will go to
sleep and rest all night, while the
eliminator will be tossing and tumb-
ling, restless and nervous, and wake
up in the morning fretful, peevish
and discouraged. No two persons,
no matter who they are, should ha-
bitually sleep together. One viii
thrive and one will lose. This is
the law, and in married life it is de-
fed almost universally.

He CoULDN'T TELL A LIE.-Alf.
Burnett, in one of his letters TO The
People, of indianapolis, relates the
following anecdote:
By the by, good story is told OF
Ben Butler and his notorious homes
ty. A short time since, Ben Butler
and Wendell Phillips had business
with the President, and arm in arm,
proceeded to call upon him. The
President was busy, and sent word
that he would see them presently
Phillips and Butler strolled out into
the conservatory, in the rear of the
White House, thence into the gar
den. Butler and Phillips were en-
gagged in an animated conversation
upon some topic, Butler became
slightly excited.
A large Ratchet belonging to the
gardener was beside a tree; Butler
casually picked it up, and while talk
ing, he made several deep gashes
with it into some of General Grants
favorite trees. Just at this uncture,
the President appearing, Butler has
tily secreted.it under n coat tails.
After the compliments of the day,
the President spie& for the first time
his4putilated tree, and, with tones of
veRefaence, he irfqNired> who had
been cutting and gashing that tree
After few moments pause, Butler
stepped bravely up to the President
and took him by the hand, saying,
"Mr President;I caRnotteA lie;

did it. -

A Living Reptile Vomited from n
Mans Stomach.

From the Wooster Republican.
The statement, published month
ago in the Republican, of living
snake being in the stomach of liv-
ing woman at the Wayne County
Intirmary, has been literally discuss
ed, not only in this county, but
abroad, until even the learned Doctors
of Medicine have become excited
upon the subject, and, of course dis
agree. We only gave the popular
belief, based upon the testimony of
responsible parties; aud as to the
medical points of view we profess to
know nothing.
Bnt, in corroboration of the phys
biological theory, that a living reptile,
one entirely foreign to the body, may
inhabit the human stomach, we sub
NIT to our readers the following,
which we have as fact from relia-
BILE citizen of Wooster, formerly q
resident of Edinburg, and witness
of what is here narrated.
Thirty two years ago James Caskey
lived in Edinburg, six miles south
of Wooster. and fer three or four
years had gradually been losing
health, complaining that his sickness
was caused by something living in
his stomach. Physicians did all their
judgement could advise to relieve him
without avail; and, from being a
stro NJ, robust man, he became O con-
firmed invalid, emaciated anu feeble,
and unable to work.
On the morning of the 9TH of July,
1888, Mr.. Caskey came into the vi
lage hotel, then kept by Zeba Farms
worth, and in taking drink became
strangled. He ran out the door to
the corner of the house, where he
choked and strained until he drop
ped on his knees from exhaustion; /;
and finally, in the struggle, vomited
up from his stomach living snake,
thirteen inches in length and three
fourths of an inch in diameter.
1t was white in color, and crawled
and sluirmed upon the ground, to
the nauseating horror of the many
lockers On. In every respcct-shape
of head, eyes. &c.-except color, it
bore resemblance to the common
water snake. Dr. Alexander Adams,
WHO died in Edinburg five years ago,
preserved its body in jar of liquor !;
and it is possible that among his
effects it may now be found.
Mr.. Caskey remembered that, about
five years before, while planting corn,
he became very thirsty, and drank
foul water out of pond near the
field.
From the day he was relieved OF
the reptile he regained his health, and
is now living in De Kalb County,
Indiana, a well and hearty man.

A Heavy Verdict.

In the case of Edwin Weber VS.. The
Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph Co.,
which was tried in Court on Friday
last by jury, a verdict of IS, 300 was
given the Plaintiff. The case is as
follows:
In the spring of 1870 the Atlantic &
Pacific Telegraph Company ran line
from Springfield to Lagonda, by max
ing loop or bend in the line. The
wire crossed the Mad River Railroad
about mile north of Springfield, and
the wire had become slack so that it
was but about fifteen feet above the
track. About the 18th of June, the
Plaintiff was employed as brakeman
on a freight,'train. On his first trip up
when near where the wire crosses the
track, he went forward on the train
to set the brakes and was returning
when the train passed under the wire
The wire came in contact with his
breast, throwing him TO the ground
and the train passed over his leg
crushing il to the knee. The leg had
to be amputated. Suit was brought
for damages, and the above given
verdict rendered. The attorneys for
the Defendant filed q motion for set
ting aside the verdict.-Tifln Tri-

A Shocking Accidental Govern.
ment officer Boiled to Death.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
A chronicler of daily events is sell
dom called upon to inform the pub
lie of q more terrible death than
Yesterday befell Captain Thomas j.
Barry, worthy government store
keeper, at the distillery of Fleischman
S Co., near Sedamsville.
How the heart-rending accident
occurred is now conjecture; possibly
it will always remain so. After din
ner he was seen sitting by an open
window of the distillery, reading
Below him, on the outside of this
apartment, was an open tub contain
ing the worm Frequently the wa
ter contained in this vessel became
boiling hot from the heated vapol
within. 1t was so yesterday. Later
in the afternoon Capt. Barry was
needed in the line of his duty as store
keeper and was sought about the
premises.
Not being found, a messenger was
sent to Sedamsville, with no more
success. This awakened apprehen
SlOu, anu lOlC Cdb Glul
was made about the distillery. AT
last the hat of the unfortunate man
was discovered near the tub, and the
terrible thought came flashing into
the mind that the storekeeper might
be in this vessel. With fears for the
worst the contents of the tub were
examined.
There the body Of the officer was
found literally boiled. When or how
he cane to fall into the contents
where instant death awaited him, nc
one knows. From the fact that he
had last been seen at the window
about two hours preceding, it is moi
improbable that he had been in the
Tub well nigh that time. Whether as
he sat there he was suddenly seized
with fainting fit, or had fallen asleeI
and tumbled in, or had fallen in una
wares while looking into the vessel
is left entirely to conjecture.
