A Daughter HOrsewhipped by Her
Father.

HER ATTENDANCE AT A DANCING ACADEMY
TIE OCCASION OF THE PUNISHMENT.
The neighbour God of oh street, between p
And Q, was excited on Saturday evening by a
eovhidiDg administered by Mr.. Charles n.
Bliss, late city surveyor, upon his eldest daueh
ter, about nineteen or twenty years of age. The
cfense which was deemed by the parent suffi-
GENTLY heinious to call for this punish ment was
his daughters attendance at dancing academy
in company with young lady friend without
his knowledge or consent. Awaiting her return
to the house OF her friend, he met her and her
companion (quite early in the evening" and
demanded 10 know where she had been.
She frankly and timidly replied, when
he turned away, leaving the young ladies
at the door, which they entered, and
in few minutes he returned with heavy
hoTsswbip concealed under his coat and entered
the house, tMr. j. T.. NJ. Bowen's,) and ap-
preaching his daughter in the parlor, he, in
presence Of Mrs. Bowen, an elderly lady, and
Miss Bowen, drew out his horsewhip and dashed
his daughter, laying on blow after blow without
stint. She sprang. screaming, to the door, he
following her and continuing the castigstion.
The two female inmates Of the house begged
him to stop, and leave the house, which he did
line. When Mr. Bowen returned home he was
informed of the affair, and he, with q number
of his indignant neighbors. stated the facts to
the police authorities for their action.
10 Is stated that Bliss not long since castigated
his seconc daughter-about Il years oid-very
severely. The young ladies have no mother,
the present wife Of Bliss being their stepmother.
IL is also stated that Bliss daughters do not in
tend TO appear against him, but whether this is
the result of intimidation or natur Il affection
does not appear.

Farm Education.

Much has been written about book
farming, and the need of education
in the science of farming, but we fear
the too prevalent idea that practice is
better than theory, may blind the
eyes of some farmers, who believe
that there is but little new under the
sun to be learned. AS yet only a
small proportion of the farmers have
taken advanced positions in agricul-
ture. They plod along in the same
old beaten track which their fathers
trod, and gradually wearing out their
farms, with decreasing crops, hardly
able TO make livelihood, without
knowing how to better their condi-
ton. knowledge is power, and to
know how to grow two tons of hay in
the place of one, to make a larger
amountof butter the quality ofwhich
makes it bring double price,, TO know
how to make q small piece of land IN
the cultivation of root crops or small
fruits, pay as no other department
can, is something that many farmers
have not tried, because they lack the
proper intelligence to stimulate them
To do it. Much of the success of our
best farmers, results from calculation
and skill put into practice.
The farmer needs an intelligent in
vestigation of farm chemistry, that
he may know the character of the
soils, the proper fertilizing required,
the analysis of a certain crop and its
adaptation to the soil, the rotation Of
crops necessary, etc. To be good
farmer there is as much preparation
needed, in study and practice, as to
lit a man for lawyer, merchant
physician or mechanic. This intel
iigence, acquired year by year, will
tell in its effects upon the appearance
of the farm; it will make it more
valuable and attractive as well as
profitable, and furnish better home
for fine family

ScrYant Of lord Byron.

Falcieri, the favorite servant of
Lord Byron, is still living in London,
England, where he holds the post Of
messenger in one of the public offices.
A London paper says: Giovanni
Battista Falcisri is theman on whose
shoulder Lord Byron died at Misso-
longhi, at seven O'clock on the 18th
of April, 1924. He is fine looking,
hale old man of seventy-fve years
of age, and speaks with the highest
respect of his noble master. In fact,
any one that would speak against the
great poet might excite the indigna-
ton Of talcieri to dangerous extent;
and we doubt very much, if even such
Byronic detractors as Mrs. Stowe,
would altogether be safe. Falcieri
used to swim with Lord Byron, and
he was with him after the famous
feat of swimming the Hellespont.
The old chasseur tells with infinite
pride that, while wearing costume
(unifOrm?) similar to that ofhis mast
er, he would occasionally be saluted
for his lordship. 'Titta' is the Italian
Authorization of his name, and on an
informant remarking about the
difference of climate between Eng
land and Italy, he replied that he had
not visited Italy for nearly forty
years. He came over with the corpse
of Lord Byron-was eventually APP
pointed TO service in the Board of
Control Office, from which, on the
Indian government passing entirely
to the crown, through the influence
of Sir John Cab H0bhouse lord
Brougham), FaIcieri was appointed
to the Indian office, where he is to be
found daily, with every promise of
reaching n green old age'-one of the
few connecting links between the
times of Byron and our own

Good Roads Cost Nothing.

There is no economy in Saving at
at the spiggot and losinga the bung."
There is no economy in parsimony in
road making, and paying treble and
quadrupie TO wagon makers, black
smiths and harness makers. Uneven
road beds, gulleys and powders, tax
a man more heavily in purse, and are
more veXatious to the spirit, than his
nart of the cost of constructing and
maintaining a road as "level and
smooth as barn floor" Men don't
get rich, or are long time getting
rich, Just because they don't begin
right. What is the use of toiling to
save crops, if 4 share of the profits is
lost in getting them to market? n
man starts TO his nearest town with
a ton of hay, from which he expects
to realize from SO to Sl5. He runs
into a guiley, tips over, and half
day is lost to himself and team in get
ting Strengthened up; or he loses a
tire, breaks some part of his wagon or
casts n shoe because of bOwlder, or
something else that shouldn't be
there-out comes his purse for repairs,
and away goes an hour or more OF his
time.
But the cost and loss of his time is
not all-he gets fretted, worried in
spirit, and becomes exceedingly I'M
amiable, boorish and bearish. And
this last is no first rate evidence of
his civilization-traced back to his
imperfect road bed. A poor road in
populous community costs enough
incidentally land accidentally in
the course of twelve months-shall
we say TITO macadamiZe its Whole
length, and give something almost as
durable rs the Everlasting hills"
Our old system of road working
needs alteration. 1t does not meet
the wants of the people of to day. 1t
is too antiquated and too imperfect to
be recognized as in harmony with the
spirit of the age. 1t needs thorough
revision. What scholar and phiian-
thropist can devise system that will
combine thoroughness of structure,
completeness of detail, and no waste
of the peoples money? Such a man
will be the beneiactor of the rural
districts, and rs justly entitled TO re-
verential memory as any inventor of
the age dtdUqud Fdrmer.
