HOW THEY HAD HIM.

Whatever mother bade me. ...
She used to have walnut stick,
Which kept me on the double-quick,
And that is where she had me.
When older grown, and quite beau
Among the girls, used to know
A Miss Pricilla Cadmy;
And with the help of smiles and mods
l fell in love at forty rods,
And that is where she had me.
When was older, say sixteen,

Causes Of crop-Failures.

a writer in the Nashville linton and
American. who Is strongly endorsed by
that journalsss q gentlemen of elegant
accomplishments discriminating judgment
and sound cnmmosneenss.' assigns four
principal reasons why Southern crops bare
for the past few years been failures. The
irst is that too large surface is taken in
hand. The writer says the true way is to
take but half the quantity and begin BY
thoroughly preparing. enriching and gen.
orally breaking and subsoiling the Fall
before the seed are TO be sown., The se-
cond is late planting. He thinks that the
corn crop of this whole section of country
was reduced fully one-third by inattention
last Spring. The third is, that our farm
ing implements are generally behind the
age. The writer says g ~ a3'st,,l d q
sour plows go in furrows rusty. dull
and misshapen. They are often drawn
lazily along By an animal, which ought
never to be accepted as . gift by q sensi-
bic farmer. Il were the height Of folly

there and a broken chisel yonder; and
equally 90 for q farmer to put up with
poor tools or poor stock. Better shave'
two good strong horses than four. poor.
weak ones"
The fourth is poor seed. The writer
says on this point: e' asas o,
"If it pays-and it surely does--to In
vest thousands in animals for breeding
purposes. will it not pay as well to get
good seed? Buy at home, if possible,
abroad if necessary. Tricky advertisers
and dealers are Of course constantly before
the people trying to get large prices for
worthless seed. and we should use, there
fore, the more care to get a genuine article.

GA terrible tragedy occurred in Little
Lake Valley, in Mendocino county, on the
18th ultimo. The participants in the atfray
are we'll known residents of that section.
John Coats and his brother William went
over to Tompki for the purpose Of seeing
Samuel Besse, their brother-in-law, and en-
deayor to make settlement with him of an
old claim between them. Besse was in the
woods some distance from his home, engaged
in hauling rails with his team. The matter
in dispute came up, when hard words and
mutual accusations and determinations en-
sued.
"The quarrel became so intensified that Besse
drew butcher-knife and made an assault
upon j. Costs, who drew a revolver and
fired five shots at his antagonist, killing
him instantly. The two brothers then re
turned to their home, and at last ac-
counts had not been arrested, though they
were making no endeayor to eyade the
officers. Coroner Haskett was summoned,
and held an inquest upon the body of the
deceased. A verdict was rendered in ac-
cordance with the above facts.
"Desse leaves wife and several children

A Remarkable Man-.Dcnth OF n SinSu-
lar Parsonage in Washington county
Living Under Difficulties.

From Washington county (Pa.) paper
we obtain the following account Of rather
remarkable man, Mr.. William W. Hawthorn,
who died at his residence in Nillsborough,
in the county mentioned, q few days ago. at
the age of about thirteen he was afflicted with
rheumatism, which affected his eXtrcmitleS
so seriously as to deprive him Of the use OF
both legs and also his right arm. His feet
were drawn up against the thighs, and his
right arm and hand contorted into every
thing but a natural position. The flesh on
these limbs gradually shriyelled away, while
his head and body continued to grow into
all the proportions of well-deyeloped man.
For the purpose of locomotion he was placed
in q box, in which, constantly lying on
his back, he attended to all kinds Of business
for the last sixty gears. He acquired com,
mon English education, and taught schooi
for n number Of years, and at the time OF his
death was serving bis seventh term as JUS
tice of the peace, having acted in that capa-
city for nearly thirty-tiye years. lie used
the pen with his left hand and wrote very
accurate and legible hand. IN 1853 he was
awarded contract for carrying the United
States mail on the route between Pittsburgh
and Waynesburg, and also another route,
which we have forgotten, and at the eXpira-
ton of the first term he was awarded the
contract for second term. He kept n
number of horses and faithful employees, but
he superintended the whole business him.
self, frequently driving in Il one-horse spring
wagon to Pittsburgh, Washington, and
Waynesburg, with only small boy for COM
panv.
At the age of twentyithree or twenty-five
he eloped with Miss Wilson, and was mar
ried without the consent Of her friends but
she being Of suitable age for matrimony, no
trouble ensued. His wife proved to be a
valuable helpmate for man in his peculiar
situation, and as time sped away she bore
him twelve or thirteen children. He pos
sessed an iron will, and almost an iron con-
stltution, and by dint Of indomitable energy
and economy he accumulated at various times
quite a respectable amount of property
Compelled as he was to remain continually
in recumbent position, he wrote with his
paper on small board placed across bis
breast. and by the necessary habit Of keep
ing his head raised upward and forward the
muscles of his neck acquired sufficient
strength to enable him to hold his head II
that situation for hours without apparent
fatisue. Being native of Washington
county, and for many years intermixed witt
very large amount Of public business, 1t
will be long remembered as one Of the mos
remarkable men of the day. - ,~-

OK THE Cow ATCHER-STARTLING INCIDENT
AND A STARTLED FIREMAS.-Mr. Joe Patty, Of
Morristown, who is a fireman on the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad,
narrowly escaped being killed on Sunday
night last. The engine which he was firing
was attached to the passenger train due at
Dalton at 1853 O'Clock, P. NJ. When within
about one mile and >aAalf Of that village he
went forward to the front of that engine to
oil the valves of the stean-chest, and just rs
he reached the proper place, which is on the
bumper, heavy wooden beam extending
across the front Of the engine, and to
which the pilot, or more familiarly known
to the public, the cowcatcher, is at
tached, the engine came in contact with a
cow. The force Of the train threw the
cow upon the beam on which young Patty
was standing, with his back to the cow and
his face fronting the cab. The shock threw
him off his feet, but having firm grasp upon
a brace, he held on with the tenacity that a
drowning man would to straw, and Sue
ceeded in maintaining his firm grip until,
with the use of his other hand, he regained
his position. The cow in the mean time had
fallen off to one side in the ditch-dead. Mr..
Patty's right shoulder was badly bruised by
being jammed up against the smoke-arch of
the engine, and the palm Of his right hand
cut entirely across. It will be some time be-
fore he is able for duty, but he is able to 60
