a SINGULAR course of proceeding in
murder cases obtains in Maine, having
been established by the Legislature of
OF 1869. 1t is an old law Of that State
that when a prisoner is sentenced to be
hanged, he must be confined in the State
Prison for one year before he is executed.
The new law provides that just before the
expiration Of the year, the Governor shall
submit all the papers IN the case. includ-
ing the evidence, to the Executive Coun-
Gil. The members of the Council review
these papers, and then vote whether the
sentence shall stand, or whether it shall
be committed to imprisonment for life. If
they affirm the sentence, the Governor is
sues the warrant for the execution; but,
as might be expected, this has happened
only once in four years.

ought to be done, and care must be cxor'
ciscd to see that all the time is 30 used a,
to secure the best results for the amount
of labor employed.
Asa rule, it is better to plant potatoes
as early as the ground can be got in good
condition. For IN carly crop. of course
we must plant carly. For winter use, the
late varieties, such as Peachblow, should
be planted early. Cover them three or
four inches deep, and harrow the land as
soon as any weeds appear, OIL before, with
a harrow. 1t will not pull up any Of the
potatoes, and will break the crust, stimu.
late the growth Of the potatoes, and kill
thousands of weeds. For late planting,
the early varieties are best.
If the farmers in this country only
knew the comparatively small cost that
would enable them to supply their tables
with an abundance Of the finer fruits, and
the health and contentment which tho use
Of these fruits would bring, many of them
at least would engage in their culture.
half an acre of grsund near the house
planted with some of the best varieties of
small fruits would DO sufficient t, give an
ordinary family a bountiful supply. A
piece of ground should be selected which
has q good soil, width can be enriched by
manure, and the lighter work may be
done by children.
Set out beds Of strawberries as early
as the ground can be worked.
Prepare cuttings Of currants and goose.
berries early, and plant in good soil well
MANFRED. Set out plants from cuttings
which are already rooted. Cut out the
old wood from bushes which have grown
out Of shape from neglect of pruuing.
Plant out new grape vines wherever
there is room for one. With a little care
one can get a good supply of grapes with
but little expense.-American Agricul.

was a henpecked husband. He went straight
home, threw a boetjack at his wife, tore ur
