4 SINGULAR ILLUSTRATION of how the best
intentions may produce anything but good re- Re
suits occurred iu the penitentiary at Auburn N.
V, lately. There were 500 temperance tracts
left for distribution among the conylcts, and as
they were carefully prepared, and likely to be
convincing in their arguments against lntempe-
rance, the chaplain did not hesitate to give tnem
to the black sheep of which his flock was com
posed One of the leading features OF the
pamphlet was careful anal ysls OF liquor, CIV.
iny in full the drugs and posons |hlch 1t con:
cal, i # not not on m moral grounds But so far from
doing this the analysis was used as a receipt,
and the conyicts, who by some way unknown,
succeeded in getting the ingredients secretly
manufactured their own viii skey, upon which
they rcveled until its effects betrayed them to 10
the eyes of the prison authorities, when the
tracts were probably recalled,

TIE Milk BUsINEss.-A number Of the
farmers living along the line -four railroad have
made somewhat of a test of the milk business
during the past summer. They organized an
ASSOCIATION and appointed Mr.. B. Garfield their
agent iu Washington, who has found sale for
their milk at 20 cents gallon.
The experiment though not altogether salts,
factory, owing to the want Of proper curing OF
the milk, before shipping, and also to imperfect
transportation, has demonstrated one very IN u
portaut fact A gentleman who has sent his
milk distauce of six miles to station,
and has lost considerable from its frequent
souring, informs US that he is satisfied with the
business, and assures us that it pays much bet
ter than any other branch of his farming One
great advantage, says he is that the farmer
who is in the business, always has some money
and can purchase his necessaries to much better
advantage than if he asked even short credit
We belicye that the business will increase aud
when it is known positively that good, pure re-
milk can be obtained in Washington at twenty
cents gallon. the number of consumers will
increase ten fold. .-MunaSsas Guzette.

A Bad accident.

About noon yesterday bad, and for a
time alarming accident occurred at the sad
dle-tree factory of George Steele, in Edge
field. From some cause pot of varnish
was upset, and taking fire, the flames lept
over the floor, aud threatened TO destroy
the building. The clothing of Mrs. Steele,
who happened to be in the room at the
time, caught fire, and for a few moments it
was feared she would be burnt to death be-
fore relief could be extended, but Mr.. Steele
by his GOODNESS and presence of mind was
equal to the emergency, for taking hold of
his wife, he threw her into a tank close by,
thus extinguishing her garments, which
were in a sheet Of flame. We regret to
learn that Mrs. Steele had her hands badly
burned, but considering her narrow escape,
she has cause to be thankful that her inju-
ries were not worse.
