National opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1865-1874, 1873-01-31

A correspondent writes from Stafford
vile, Conn, as follows:
A shocking death occurred yesterday
in the town of Union. A young man
named Leroy Hall, abont twenty years
of age was killed by his horse.
During the winter he had been en-
gagged in drawing lumber with pair of
spirited horses belonging to his father.
On the day of the accident he had been
butchering, and Mt about seven in the
evening he went to the barn to water
the horses, wearing frock on which
was blood from the animals slain dur
ing the day.
As he did not return after n sufficient
lapse Of time. some member of the fam
ily went to the barn and found him ly-
ing apparently dead behind one of the
horses. II was soon ascertained, how
ever, that he breathed, and all possible
afforts were made to restore conscious
ness, but without effect. He lived
about twenty-four hours after the acci-
dent.
1t is not positively known in what
manner he was attacked by the horse,
but as a considerable quantity of blood
was found upon the manger, and upon
the animals fore feet, it is thought the
smell of blood upon his clothing excited
the animal, and as he entered the stall
with a pail of water the horse struck
him with his fore feet, and after knock
ing him down, literally stamped him to
pieces. His head was mangled in a
horrible manner, and terrible gashes
were cut in various parts of his body.

witness. An hour later / went in softly
May was lying in her husbands arms
looking into his face with loving eyes,
Upon her cheek was faint flush, and
the smile that greeted my entrance was
like the smile Of four years ago.
"Aunt Mattie," she said, in faint
voice, that had yet the echo of laugh
in it, "do you believe John has beer
telling me my pies are so sweet he be-
lieves put kisses into them, and he is
quite sure | have a magic receipt fol
coffee, for he has not had decent cup
since l was sick ?" and then tile low
silvery laugh rang out, as she nestled
down in Johns arms.
In order that he may have q cur
soon" | said, ''you had better get vel
speedily, and as u preliminary step,
would advise you TO go to sleepAjusi
where you are" Ialded, as John looked
at me for instruction.
But my teaching was needed no more,
/ was amazed at the capability John de-
veloped for nonsense, as the sunlight of
mutual love opened his heart to genial
influences, and May, no longer chilled
by the reserve Of her husband, grew
well and strong in his loving care.
Baby May was three months old be-
fore | was allowed to leave Morton Hill,
but | left smiling, bright-eyed mat
ron, and proud, happy husband and
father, and in my heart | knew that
never again the cloud could fall upon
Mays life that rested there when she

American Tea Culture.

The culture of exotic plants has re-
Gently assumed n diversified, and, in
many instances, important character
throughout the United States. Among
other species, the tea plant has been
made the object of many efforts at home
production, and when the plant has
been successfully grown the fact has
been heraIdel far and near MS one of
great commercial Importance, to which
it is not entitled. The plant has with
stood the cool summers and winters of
the climate of Britain, and endures the
climate of this country as far north as
the District of Columbia, where it has
been growing for the past twelve years,
and can be grown over q vast extent of
the United States, so far as climate is
concerned ; and as regards soil, it is
well-known that it will grow anywhe re
and on any soil that is capable of sup
porting current or blackberry bushes.
The difficulty then is not in growing the
plants, but in converting its leaves into
the various teas of commerce. This can
not be done by machinery. The leaves
must be picked, manipulated during the
process of drying, and twisted by hand.
This may be done on small scale by
those who may want to raise their own
tea, but it can hardly pay to raise it in
this country for commercial purposes
while Chinese laborers work for about
two cents day, and make their dinners
of dead rat.

Household Furniture.

| We will make few suggestions about
furniture writes correspondent of q
New York paper: Let us commence
with tho bedrooms, for sleeping apart
ments should by all means be comfort
able.
The cheapest furniture we have ex'
amined is the cottage, which is made OF
white pine, neatly painted in white oi
any color one may fancy, for the ground
work, white handsome figures, If desired,
may ornament portions of each article.
Some of these sets come as low as $3O
and $40 but they are not SO desirable
ns those wit, marble tops, which cost
from $50 to ,;.5.
| The articles which compose bed
room set, are bed, bureau, table, wash
stand, one rocking and four plain chairs.
We might describe sets which would
cost from $500 tn 81 900 each, but we
must confine ourselves to furniture with
prices within reach of our readers, and
we know but few of them would willing
ly pay over 800 or $50 for set of
bedroom furnature, and the most popu-
lar for the price is the black walnut. In
this material we have seen some very
strong and neat chamber suits for $40.
Cheaper, but not so desirable ones for
$50, 800, 800, $40. These suits con-
tain the same number of pieces before
mentioned, the cheaper ones being with
out marble tops to bureau, table, or
washstand.
We will also give prices of few
articles which can be included in the
sets or bought seperate, just as you may
wish. Handsome bedsteads, with high,
ornamental headboards, cost $25, $50
S35 and mp to $50 each, that is for dou-
BILE ones. The single bedsteacs range
from $1S to $25. Bureaus with glasses
and marble tops sell for all prices from
$35 to s75. Some for 300 are very
