MILT. LOWRY met with a pain
lul accident, last Til ursday,
while narrowing Judge Craig's
lot. In turning a corner with
his harrow it tilted and dropped
down on his heel, one of the
teeth cutting it about half off.
After dressing his wound he
started to his work again, but
was overcome by the shock
and loss of blood, and tainted.
Mrs. Craig discovered him in
the act of falling, and cared for
him until he was removed to
his home.

LOCAL MATTERS.
Mr.. AND Mrs. JOHN HuHN

Mr.. AND Mrs. JOHN HUM
were thrown from an express,
last Sunday, while on their
way to church, and badly in.
jured. One Of Mr.. Huhn's ribs
was probably broken, and Mrs.
Huhn severely shocked and
bruised. 1t appears that they
were seated on The back seat,
and Joseph S. Huhn and a
grandson, VIM. Hawk, on the
front seat, driving. Passing
over the street crossing near
the Presbyterian Church, the
horses made a sudden start,
fitting the seat back, throwing
the old folks out, and the seat
on top of them, with injuries
as above. 1t was perhaps hall
an hour before Mr.. Huhn re-
covered his consciousness, but
both are now slowly improving,
and no serious results anlici-
pated. This is the second ac-
cident of this kind we have
been called upon to chronicle
IN our community. 1t seems
to us that the commonest kind
of care would prevent Snch an
accident, yet we venture 10 say
that there are but very few
expresses IN the county where
the owners are not exhibiting
The same carelessness which
as caused this almost fatal ac-
cldent. As long as such is the
case we expect still to have an
occasional item of this class to
chronicle.

The potato-bug is the first
crop fully ma.ured in this Sec
tion. BY the way, We are in
formed by those who have tried
the experiment that an ooze
made by boiling may apple
root in wafer, sprinkled upon
the plants two or three times,
will not only kill the bugs, but
prevent others from taking
their place in the potato patch.
Try it, and as the bugs will not
bother sweet potatoes, plant
,plentffully of them.

A Good Thing.

We have seen a good many
patent farm gates, but We new
er saw anything worthy of the
attention OF farmers until our
attention was called to a gate
lately put up at George Sisson's
at the southeast corner Of our
town. We invite the atten-
ton Of our farmers to il, An
examination of it there in
practical use will result IN its
universal adoption. 1t is both
cheaper and better than the
ordinary gate, is evenly bal
anced and can not sag, and is
80 simple in construction chat
it can be made by any person
possessed OF ingenuity enough
to make a common pair Of bars,
and in as little time, and at as
little expense. George Brun.
ton has purchased the right
for this county, and will furnish
the gates or sell farm rights
at low rates. Examine II; it
will commend itself as one of
the most useful and ecouomi
Cal inventions ever offered to
farmers.

ANOTHER name is added to
the rapidly incre asing list of
old citizens who have died
this spring. John West, aged
sixty -four, died at his residence
in Macarthur, on the mornin g
of the 17ih. He went to bed
in apparently good health,
having done his regular days
work, aud made arrangements
to work the day following
About daylight however, his
wife was attracted by his hard
breathing, and attempted to
arouse him, without success
Medical assistance was sum-
moned Immediately, but he
died in a few minutes, without
uttering a word, probably of
heart disease, brought OF by
the infrmitieS of age and over.

an honest, industrious, worth y

Christian church, and leaves a

of three parts Of linsecd oil and one part

gB- Tea grounds, soaked in alum-water,
are invaluable in cleaning carpets with a
large proportion of green in the pattern.
They should be sprinkled over the floor,
and allowed to lie for time, then swept

this process.
Ok gall, too, is a specific in the cleansing

Multum in Paryo.

The following eleven paragraphs are
worthy of place among the most val
ued rules that should govern well regu-
lated farm.
1. When fruit trees occupy the ground,
nothing else should, except very short
grass.
2. Fruitfulness and growth of the trees
cannot be expected the same year.
3. There is no plum that the curculio
will not take, though any kind may some
times escape for one year in one place.
4. Pear blight still puzzles the greatest
men. The best remedy known is to plant
two for every one that dies.
). If you don't know how to prune,
don't hire a man from the other side of
the sea who knows less than you do.
6. Don't cut off big lower limb un-
less you are renter and care not what
becomes of it when your time is out.
z. A tree with the limbs coming out
near the ground is worth two trees trim
med up ten feet, and so on until they are
not worth anything
s. Trim down, not up.
Q. Shorten in, not lengthen out
10. If you had your arm cut off, you
would feel it at your heart.
IL. When anybody tells you of garden
CT that understands all about horticulture
and agriculture and that he can be hired,
don't believe word of it, for there are none
such to be hired. Such man can make
more than you can afford to give him, and
if he has sense enough to understand the
business, he will also have sense enough
to know this. .4

Every body knows le power of such GEL

them very often. Our Lord tnught HIS
children to fast. and HIS bride, the church,
iustructs them tChen to do so.
The Spring Fast Of Lent was originally
continued through 40 successive hours, and
so was real period of absolute sei-denial
and discipline. 1t conceded thus with the
period which elapsed in which Our Lord
was held in the "balds of DEATH" namely,
from noon of Friday to ''earlY IN the morn

speedily heightened to 40 days. Tertullian,
born in the middle of the I'd century, speaks
of it, and its record never ceases. Ash
Wednesday is the ''hnad of this fast, and
is always celebrated by entire abstinence
aud more tervent prayers, with peniteEce
