The Murder of a Chief Justice. S~s

ws-E-- T
 MT. Justice Norman, Acting Chief Justice of the High Court of Judicature, at Calcutta, India, who died fromiwounds received at the hands of an assassin, was the son of Somersetshire banker, and was called to the Bar in 1852. In 1856 he became authorized reporter for the Court of the Exchequer, and in 1861 was given the judgeship of the Supreme Court at Calcutta. He enjoyed the rep utation of being profound jurist, and was peculiarly gentle, kind and consid- crate, though never Hinching from his own dpinion.k A few months ago'he was appointed Chief-Justice during the ab- sence of Sir Richard Couch.
 The murderer, who is believed to be 8 member of the Wahabee conspiracy, as- certained at what time the Court opened, waited on the steps until the arrival of MT. Justice Norman whom he struck with a tapering; Goorkha, knife. When stabbed, J ustice Norman fell, but recov- cred himself and ran, then stopped and threw brick at the murderer, who was promptly captured. M. Justice Norman received, one wound in the.abdomen and one on the left shoulder between the spine and blade bone. The murdere1 made no defence. In reply to a ques- tion, he said that ''the earth is sunk be- low the water, and the men have gone up to the sky the dog is eating the wall. He is believed to be feigning madness.s He is g wild, ignorant man, and evidently an adept at murder. Ii is believed that the crime had some con. nection, with the final trial of Amee1 Khan, a leading Wahabee, which was to take place in a short time

Better than That.
,e said, and I say it ever,

And-I have said, and say it ever, As the years go on and the world goes over, 'Twere better to be content and clever, In tending of cattle and tossing of clover, In the grazing of cattle and the growing of
 grain, ss;
 Than strong man striving for fame or gain Be even as kne in the red-tipp'd clover; 'For they lie down and their rests are rests, And the days are theirs, come sun come rain, 10 lie, rise up, and repose again;
 While we wish, yearn, and do pray, in vain, And hope to ride on the pillows of bosoms, And hope to rest in the haven of breasts, Till the heart is sicken'd and the fair hope dead Be even as clover with it's crown of blossoms, Even as blossoms ere the bloom IS shed, ...a Kiss'd by kline and the brown sweet bee For these have the sun, and moon, and air, Aud never bit of the burden of care
 And with all of our caring what more have we I would court content like lover lonely, I would woo her, win her. and wear her only, And never go over this white sea wall
 For gold or glory or for aught at all.

A Frightful Affair,

At Paoli, Orange county, Ind, Prof Wilbur made arrangements for balloon ascension. He was to be accompanied by George H. Knapp As they were about gotJing into the balloon the cords gave way, and they made spring for the car, but only st1cceededsin grasping the ropes. As the balloon rose Knapp let go, and fell at height of about thir- ty feet without serious injury. Professor. Wilbur held on and attempted to climb into the basket, but was unable to do so, and the balloon shot-upwards rapid ly with the @ronaut hanging below. At height of about one mile the doomed man let go his hold and came whir1ing to the earth. At the height he had at tained he looked like 8 small stick about 9 foot long. As he approached the earth he was coming down head foremost. then spread out horizontally, then doubled up, turned over, and then strengthened out with his head downward. As he struck the earth he fell upon his head and back. His head was mashed into an inextinguishab1e mass. The body made hole in the ground eight inches deep, and it rebounded four feet from where it struck. To add to the painful character of the accident the professors young wife and little daughter were on the ground, and witnessed the terrible affair

a E.IE EEr Fl and underdrain, and manure, to the ex- tent of hundreds of dollars per acre, is too costly to follow, and of little useafter it is taken. If wewere going toa prepare piece of ground for an orchard, we should manure it heavily and put in a crop of potatoes ;g then in October mans ure~ again lightly, and put in rye: On this, in April we should SOW red clover. The rye of, we should then eonsiuyrtit ready to plant trees For:apples, pears, plums, or cherries, we should mark out the rows ten feet apart, and for the trees ten feet from each other. This will be twice as thick as they will be required when fully grown. but they grow much better when thick. together Land they will bear more than enough frtitto pay for the room they occupy, before the time comes to cut every other one away We say the rows ten feet apart, but every fourth row should be twelve feet, to af- ford room to get between the blocks with a cart. sg '-e S51
 "Plant as early in October as possible, but it can be continued until the ap- proach of frost. To plant, a hole can be dug in the stubble. just large enough to hold the roots without crampfng them. We should tread in the soil, and trim in the head very severely. The next spring we should just break the crust formed by the winter rains about the tree,. and then leave everything to. grow as it, might. The clover will be ready to cut in June or July. The. twelve feet rows may, be done by machine, therest by hand. Hay enough will be made to pay for all the labor for one year and a little more. After the hay has been hauled off, bring back some rich earth of any kind, and spread about quarter or half an inch thick over the surface of the ground dis turbed in making the hole. This wil keep the grass from growing very, strong just over the roots. Keep on this way annually, every two or three years giving the whole surface of the orchard a toI dressing, for the sake of the grass, and it will be found to be the mostproftable way of making the orchard ground pay for itself, until the fruit crops come in, that one can adopt. The trees.alse will be models of health and vigor, and when they will commence to bear, will do sc regularly and abundantly. E, .3SA
 "The dwarf trees we would plant on the same system, but six instead of ten feet apart. Few soils are loo ,cet for fruit trees. Only in wet soils plant oa the surface, and throw up the earth ovel them from between, so as to make ditch or furrow to carry away the surface water. On the plan ofsaunt1al stIrface dressings which we have outlined, the feeding roots will thus always keep above the level of standing water; and wher they can do this, it will not hurt the trees, though the tap roots are immersed in water for half the year.

TROUBLE IN iUTAH.-There can be lit tie doubt that serious trouble is impend- ing in Utah. It will be remembered that at the last session of Congress a most stringent bill was passed by the House to punish polygamy in that terri Senate. It was nevertheless an adminis- tration measure, and the policy it sought to enforce is assumed now to exist in other statutes. The course of the Uni ted States judicial officers in Utah meets, therefore, with the fullest Executive ap- proval, and it is learned from the proper quarter that it will be vigorously sus- tained even at the point of the bayonet. The administration is evidently deter mined to break up polygymy peaceably if possible, forcibly if necessary.
