MURDER IN LOWELL.

For some months past Messrs. Charles
Z. kimball and Charles r. Watts have
been paying their attentions to Miss Ella
Spofiord, daughter of Deacon Abraham
Spofford, and received almost an equal
share Of her regards, @ much so that a
strong feeling of jealousy was created be-
tween them. Sunday evening Kimball
accompanied Miss Spofford to the John.
street Congregational church, and re.
turned with her to her home on Mount
Vernon street, entering the house and re-
naming in social conversation until after
10 O'Clock. When he came out, after bid
ding her goodnight" he discovered
Watts standing on the sidewalk, and &C
cused him of having followed the couple
home. An indignant denial followed, and
this led to mutual recriminatons and a
generalrow Finally Watts drew a pistol
from his side pocket. and with the eXcla-
nation, "This thing has gone far enough, y
he fired two shots at kimbalfs body. One
of them took effect in the right arm, and
the other was lodged in the lungs of the

A Horse that was Refused Assist.
ancc.


A horse, whose stable was situated
mile from Dundee, had been for some
years regularly shod by Mr.. Cow, and
had also undergone several operations
by him as veterinary surgeon. Years,
however, had incapacitated the animal
from executing his wonted tasks. but
his master grateful for past services,
had humanely tended him in the winter
in the hope that spring might bring fresh
vigor to his aged limbs. Some time af-
ter Cow and his workmen were aston
ished at visit from their old customer,
without any attendant. The afflicted
animal stood before his former benefac-
tor, and commenced licking and biting
his own sides, accompanying the action
with a low moaning, as indicative of
some internal commotion. Unfortunate
", however, his dumb eloquence was
last on the person he addressed, who,
lnable to conjecture what this meant,
shifted his place. His petitioner, still
following him, met with rebuffs and at
last was dismissed Fooled in this, the
distressed creature returned as he came,
lay down in his stall, and in less than
fifteen minutes expired.
IL was found that in the agonies of
death he had broken a strong rope with
which heshad been fastened, and dis
posed of the stable door according to his
mind, before he got out in seaIch of that
relief which, after all, was nnwittingly
denied him. From ssCzeoer Dogs,

The wheat Cr0p---NEaat the Past
Winter has Taught sss.

The past winter has taught us les
son, if we heed it. 1t has taught us I'M
mistakably that a dry soil is favorable
to wheat; hence the Importance of UNI
derdraining. This we find in the long
drought of the past winter, commencing
III the fall and continuing until spring,
SD that the ground became thoroughly
drained Where the soil is poor the
wheat has suffered, of course, the win
ter being severe, the grain exposed, and
the fall and spring weather unfayorable
But where the land was in good condi-
tion and tolerably fertile, there is an I'M
usually favorable prospect. The wheat
has not been flung out there was no
wet soil for the frost to do it, though it
had all the chance otherwise. 1t is then
safe to say that land well drained, put
IN good order and sufficiently enriched,
will produce good crop; this is almost
entirely independent of the weather, eX-
cept at the harvesting Other winters
as severe as this, the grain exposed, and
so poor start as was the case the past
fall, and the drawback this spring (on
account of the drought would have made
sad work with the crop, so much land
being underdrained or moist. In this
tlilS tOlNllbiOI. WIN ODGit W tuJSl We
we have had, there would have been a
great proportion of wheat thrown out.
1t was the dry season that prevented this.
With favorable fall, winter and spring,
with the ground dry or relieved of its
surplus water as it is, there would have
been an almost universally favorable crop
the heaviest by far ever grown, pro-
viding always, that the berry had been
safe-and 1t stands better chance under
such circumstances to be sound | was
surprised to see land, usually wet and
throwing out its grass and.sgrain, re-
tanning its wheat this spring. and the
frost acted full out as severely as usual,
worse during the winter. Land dur
ing the winter season, including
fall and spring, is commonly wet
from the rains and SHOWS that fall.
This tries the wheat and the frost in
connection is sure to add to the evil.
Hardy as the grain is, it must suffer;
and if there is much water in the soil
accompanied by low temperature, and
severe alterations of freezing and thaw-
ing in the spring, the havoc will be
great muclr of the wheat will be lifted,
and large quantity thrown out; but
not all will be thus affected some will
remain firm. Do we need to ask what
portion this is? 1t certainly is not the
moister or lower parts of field. 1t is
only and always where the soil is dry,
that is, where there is ready and deep
drainage so that land can be made to
defy the severity of winter. In Eng
land they raise wheat on an average of
about 80 bushels per acre. This used
not to be so. Now they drain; former
ly they did not. Underlay country
with tile and you will revolutionize the
agriculture of that country, to say moth
ing of the sanitary and other benefits.
