Tho Dark Year Of 1876.

A Detroit paper judging from the
course Of the weather this wiltcr
thinks we are likely to have "anothe.
year without SUMNER" and then
goes on to ocmfort its readers with
these assuring words
| If the pinching weather freezes
young or old blood into horror OF

such to know that wbrse things have

The year 1916, or the } ear "cightcen

also Known as "tho year with.

Ice ahd snow in June killed nearly
every green thing, and destroyed
nearly all the fruit. Snow fell ten
inches deep in Vermont, and covered
the ground in Massachusetts, and New
York. % the fifth of July ice thick
as window glass Was formed. Indian
corn was badly damaged and what
survived was still more injured by
the August ice. Farmers were
obliged to plant in the spring of 1917
the corn of 1878. 1t cost from four
to five dollars bushel. The Wes-
tern farmers who are burning their
corn for fuel may take the hiut. The
rest Of the year was 10y and frosty,
ending in a mil1 AMI comfortable De-
ccmber. The sun seemed to impart

Etccdtions BY Poisoning.

The New York Sun is discussing
.he proposition to substitute for the
public execution Of criminals con.
dcmncd to death by the plan Of put
ting them to death privately by poi
son without their expecting it, in
ways known only to the officers charg-
ed With the duty Of killing.
The motive tsays the Sum appears
to be humane, and it reminds us Of
an idea conceived years ago hy NJ .
Jules Le Chcvalier, French socinl-
it. HIS plan was to substitute for
the guillotine or the gallos what he
called electric fulg"ration. The
criminal was to lie taken, and life cx-
tineuishcd by an, immense shock Of
electricity, which would o9ercome
him with such uncomfortable raridity
that he would not be conscious of the
process. M. Ire Chevalicr advocated
this reform with much elooucncc, but
we do not thihk he mado many con.
yerts and it is not likely that the
new method is any more to be adopt

reason of tho withdrawal. lle says {:
"The January examination, which
closed about week ago, and which
proved death to tho military aspira-
tions of Cadet Gibbs, arc represented
to have been unusually severe anil

which implies that they were deficient
in marks, and failed to pass an cxAmi-
nation. In other words, whom ca.

The same correspondent states that,
while Gibbs was not maltrcatc1, he

Practical Hints TO Young Farmers.

cotton, spread over this neld and

table matter in the soil is desirable,
inasnrch as the gases given out in
the process are absorbed and retained
by the hungry soil, and afford nutri

on it:
If Guano is to be Used it should not
be applied till you are about ready
to put in your seed, as is volatile nu-
ture causesi its stimulating properties
to rush rapidly through the whole

tanned sufficient size as Hot to be in

Corn may be followed by wheat or
oats, or rye. No injury is likely to
result to the crop if you give the

If the youth has an inkling to try

Underground Railway in New York City

The underground railroad in New
York, known as the Vanderbilt liuc
ind chartered by the last Legislature.
after desperate fight, in which tn,
great railroad king was victorious BY
,lint Of money and iLfucr CO, is pro
crossing, and will be completed in a
littlo over a year. AS the first un-
acrgrruud railway in this country, it
is deserving passing notice. In
London, these underground roads
have become quite common, and if
reports are to be believed, havs been
emincntly successful. In any case.
Com modore Vanderbilt is safe, as the
track Of his road furnishes the needed
access to tue heart of New York city
for the trains Of the hudson River
Railroad, and the construction of Il
tuhn"l for the lutter purpose alone
would have been fully justified. The
road, as projected, will exhibit all
varieties of shpport-opcn cuttings
in some places hen between Ninety
sixth STREET and One Uundredth and
Fifteenth; the tars will Rim upon a
viaduct and further in tho city the
underground tunnel will be used.
One of the most noticeable features
about it is the stations. Near the
City Hall; for instance, the building
will be like Swiss cottage: Inside;
it is divided iuto ladies' and gentle
mems rooms fitted up in pretty much
the same style as those to which
travellers are accustomed. 1t will also
have two elevators for the hoisting
and lowering of freight. In the cen
trc arc to be stairways-a kind Of
double Jacobs ladder-for descend
ing and ascending. Tho tunnel itself
will be light, airy and comfortable.
Nen'ilators and air-shafts will be pro.
vidcd along the whole route, and it is
expected that gentlemen can 60
through it to their places Of business,
reading the morning papers with us
much case rs if in their own parlors.
