A Sad Affair.

The boiler of soap and candle facto- " in Cincinnati recently exploded, kill ing two men, B. Osthoffer and James ,Unzich. A piece of the boiler sixteen feet long and weighing 5000 pounds, mile and killed three children, named Cora Cole, Alice Thornton, and Ella Forbus. The cause of the explosion is not known. Barney Osthoffer, engineer, who had been employed at the factory some thirteen years, was standing about twenty feet from the boiler when it ex- ploded, and his body was horribly man. gled :; he leaves wife and five children. James Unzich, tank-tender, whose body was torn in pieces, also leaves a wife and five children. George Herlinger, an engineer, was seriously, though not dangerously wounded. He was sitting within few feet of the boiler at the time. Lizzie Hoffman was struck on the arm by piece of the boiler and slightly injured. Michael Spilman and George Harvey were slightly injured. Tbe three children who were killed by the flying mass of iron were jumping rope half mile distant, and so far off that the report could scarcely, if at all, be heard. There were two boilers in the battery that exploded, each thirty feet long and two feet in diameter, and were without fues. They were made originally of seven-sixteenths of an inch iron. They were eight years old, ap- parently strong, and were tested last fall with $50 pounds cold water pres sure. Three hundred pounds had been used in the works, but of late the pres sure has not exceeded 25O. The boilers were used for supplying steam in tank ing out lard for making candles. One piece of the boiler, about ten feet long, was blown upward and fell back at aboa the same place from which it started burying itself several feet in the ground The other boiler was hurled through thu brick wall, f..ot thick. and several feel of earth into Providence street, where it lodged. The boilers were in skele ton shed in court among brick build ings, and the roof offered but slight re sistance. The adjacent property wa but slightly injured. Two tanks wer overturned, while other frail vessel
 were undisturhed.

MEMORIAL OF UTAH WOMEN AGAINST PoLYaAMY.- memorial to the President and United States Congress, signed by more than 500 apostate Mormon and Gentle ladies, against the admission of Utah as State, has been forwarded to Washington. The document contains history of the polygamic life, and speaks of the oppression of the Mormon lead CTS and the dangers to the law-abiding population which would result from ad- mission. The memorial states that the women of Utah must either be con signed to the tender mercies of Brigham Young and his co-dignitaries, or leave the country and prays that Congress by it's action may not compel either. A delegation of women will probably go to Washington to work against admis- sion and in favor of anti-polygamic law to protect the women from the Church leaders.

To Cause the Hair of the Name and
Tail to Grow.

In reply to S. G. Drake, in the
R"'at Ne,c Yorker, l beg to give
the following recipe, which l have
personally proven to be efficient in
restoring a healthy growth Of hair
on the tails and names of horses:-
Corrosive sublimate (hyd. bichlor-
ide), oxymuriatc of mercury, each
four grains in one ounce of distilled
water. Wash the parts where the
hair is thin with warm water and
soap, then rub dry with linen
cloth and Immediately after rub in
some of the above linimcnt. If the
hair has been rubbed off by the an.
imal's own endcavors to allay cuta-
ncous irritation, then dress with the
following ointment: One ounce OF
flour of sulphur, one ounce of pull
verified saltpeter, made into soft
ointment with fresh butter, or fresh
rendered hogs lard; rub in at night
and wash out in the morning with
warm water and soap; repeat three
or four times. If the hair is scant
from natural debility of the capil-
larry organs, then simply use cold
water applied with soft SPONGE
Avoid all combing or brushing, and
clean the name and tail as the Arabs
do, with coarse flannel rubber

One of our substantial subscri
bers, in a recent conversation, CAV,
his experience in training neat stock
affected with the habit Of eating
wood, chewing bones, etc. His
cattle were one spring affected this
way; they became thin in flesh, re-
fused to eat hay, and presented a
sickly appearance. He had no i'm
preston that their food lacked the
constituents for making bone, but
his ncighbors used bone meal with
out noticing any good results what
ever. At last he put about four
bushels of lcached ashes in his
barnyard, and threw ont to them
about Il shovci'ul each day. They
all ate as if with evident relish
After turning them ont to pasture,
he put one peek Of dry ashes per
week on the ground in the pasture.
They ate all up and gnawed on the
grass where it had been laying.
The cattle began to improve, gain
ing flesh and looking better than
they had done for several years.
He says this morbid appearance
was unnoticcd years ago, from the
fact that the ground was ashy from
the burning ofthc woods and land
clearings. Latterly lie gives one
quart of ashes mixed with the same
quantity of salt to twelve head of
cattle, about once 4 week. -Lire

want of order and taste i'll the man
ner of farming. No man Of order
and taste will see gates hanging on
one hinge, fences Keeling, and eve
rything looking like old chaos or
young ruin. Men of taste will hus-
band well their farms, and men of
real farming skill will have arrang-
ments for making the most of all
they get-for saving or marketing
that nothing be lost. 1t is the
farmers losses that keep them back,
and most Of their losses are by their
own negligence, or want of skill.
There is much half farming; they
waste a great deal of labor and
time. The art of keeping every
thing in order lies in having place
for everything, and putting every
thing in it's place when used; in
making repairs when needed; in al
ways putting odd moments of time,
rainy days, etc., TO making improve
mcnts, arranging conveniences, and
in getting ready for the seasons ac-
tive labor. Let all half farmers
mend their ways as fast as possible.
so will they mend their fortunes
and their temporal interests Utict.

A correspondent of the Vernon,
Farmer thus describes an improved
poke or jumping stick: First, put a
piece across the horns. Then have
a piece Of hard wood board, one.
half or threc-fourths inch thick and
about three feet long. Have Il hole
inserted in the bar across the horns
in such way that when this hard
wood strip is inserted in it, running
out over the back, as the animal
naturally carries its head, the rear
end will be just free Of the back.
Drive three or four shingle nails,
ground sharp, INTO this end, letting
them come through three-fourths of
an inch, so that as soon as the ami
nal makes an effort to raise his head
to jump the fence, the nails will
soundly prick his back, and he will
be apt to frisk his tail and start for
some feed that is easier to be OBJ
tanned. For chcapncss and dura-
billty this arrangement is unequaled.
1t weighs less than three pounds; it
is not in the way in travelling
ar, und, and when the animal lies
down it is on one side, as it is
natural for the animal to throw its
head opposite to the side it lies on.
When they are feeding it is up
right in the air. 1t will keep the
ANNA! to which it is applied where
he belongs, sure.

An Ohio correspondent writes:
"rhc Mediterranean" wheat has
proved in this climate, and on our
Scioto bottom lands. the most GER
tain and reliable Of the whcats
grown here; but it's straw is so very
soft that it will lodge before ripen-
ing, and we experience great diff.
ficulty in harvesting it; SO much So
that in many cases we leave on the
ground, for the birds and varmints,
at least one-tenth of the crop. Il
has occurred to me, to obtain one
full crop, that ! might mix with il
some other variety, maturing about
the same time, not possessing this
weakness. Will not you, or some
of your readers, please name such 6
wheat, and say were it can be OBJ
tanned? The smoothheaded varie
ties will not stand our winters and
the insects, and you would much
oblige several farmers by naming
to us some early and prolific bearded
white wheat, if such exists.
