An EXTRAORDINARY DEATH BY BUR-

AN EXTRAORDINARY DEATH BY BURN
ING.-Eunice Tully, aged Is, met Il ter
rible death by burning at Flemmington,
N. J. She was at the house OF Harvey
Bartles, and the family being absent, she
went into an adjoining field whore two
sons of Mr. Bartles were gathering
brush. She kindled blaze In one OF
the heaps, and in so doing set fire to her
clothes. The flames were smothered,
and she started towards the house, when
smoke was seen rising from her clothing
again. One of the young men ran to
her assistance, and the fire, as they sup
posed, was entirely put out, before she
entered the house. Ten minutes after
ward she rushed out enveloped in flames
and screaming for assistance. She ran
so wildly, and the flames gained so rap,
idly in the wind, that before any assist
ance could be rendered she had fallen
down exhausted, and so fearfully burned
that death resulted in few hours.
A doting mother in Poughkeepsle ex'
pended S2S in dressing up her little baby,
of which of course she thought the world,
and sent the bill to her husband, who is
independently rich and in dependently
mean. He made out check for the
amount, and added these words: This
il for child few months old. Fools
still live" To which the bank clerk
added. $50 do hogs"

LIVING BEYOND THEIR MEAMs Bull

LIVING BEYOND THEIR MEANS. s.-Bul
wer says poverty is only an idea, in nine
cases out of ten. Some men, with $40,
600 a year, suffer more for want of means
than others with $500. The reason is,
the rich man has artificial wants. His
income is $4,000 a year, and he suffers
enough by being dunned for unpaid
debts to kill a sensitive man. A man
who earns a dollar day and does not go
in debt, is the happier of the two. very
few people who have never been r1ch Will
believe this but it is true. There are
thousands and thousands with princely
incomes, who never know a minutes
peace, because they live beyond their
means. There is really more happiness
among the working men IN the world
than among those who are called rich.

Josh Billings Relates All He Knows About
the Agricultural Business.
What 1 know about farming is cussed
little.
My buzzum friend, Horace Greeley, has
rit book with the above name; and, al
| tho haven't had time to perooZe it, yet i
don't hesitate to pronounce it bully.
| i Onst took farm on shares, myself, and
run her on some theOrys, and the things
| figures up this way: i dun all the work,
| FURNISHED all the seed and manure, and
| had the agew months out of II for mi
share of the prophits, and the other fellow
paid the taxes on the farm for his share.
By mutual consent quit the farm at the
end of the year. vi.
| What know about pharmin amt worth
braggin about, and i feel it mi duty to
state, for the benefit of mi kreditOrs, that,
| if they ever expect me to pay 6 cents on
the dollar, they must start me in the theo-
retical pharmin employ.
| know of many farmers who are go ar
fiicted with superstishen that they won't
plant single bean only in the last quarter
of the moon, and know Ov others 80 preg-
nant with science that they won't set q
gate post until they've had the ground an
| aIyzed by some professor of anatomy, tew
see if the earth has got the right kind Ov
| ingredients fur post holes. This is what /
call running science into the ground.
What kno about pharmin amt worth
much, ennyhow; but undertook to break
king heffer wunst. read treatise on
the subject, followed the directions close,
and got knocked end ways in about five
minutes then sat down and thought
the thing over made up my mind that
the phellOw that wrote the treatise was
more in the treatise business than he was
in the kicking heffer trade. came to the
conclusion that what he knu about milkin
kickin heffers he had learnt by leaning
over the barn-yard fence and writing the
thing up. got up from my reflections
somewhat strengthened and went for the
offending heffer. will draw a charitable
veil over the language that used, and the
things that did, but went in to win, and
,Oon! That heffer never became cow.
This is one way to break kickin hefer,
and, after man has studied all the books
in creation on the subject and tried them
on, he will fall into mi plan, and make up
| his mind as did, that kickin heffer Is
worth more for beef than she is for theo-
retic milk.

Matters in Sewer County.
SEvIERvILLE, TENNESSEE,
Sentember 21. 1871.


September q, 1871.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: We have had q
long rain and the air is cool and pleasant.
We are delighted to see the interest taken
in behalf of the Eastern Division Fair.
We hope it will be as great success as it
was last fall. Several people are talking OF
going from Sewer, but do not know how
much stock will be taken. .
The corn crops up and down Pigeon
River are fine, but in some portions of the
county they have very nearly failed on ac-
count of the long drouth.
The prisoners all made their escape from
the county Jail some nights since. The
Jail is of no account, and the county has,
since the war, spent money enough in i'm
proving it to have built good one; and
there is no use of putting prisoners in 1t, if
they have any friends outside. The Coun-
ty Court should proceed at once to employ
somebody and send them to the quarry and
build stone one. s-rrre
The Rev. Mr.. Lanson has a big revival
of religion going on at Shiloh Church and
the Rev. Mr.. Seaton is conducting one at
Jones' Chapel. Both are doing much good.
