Nearly Lynched.

Concord, N. H., 16. The report that Off
Ger Chadwick would arrive here from Jersey
CITY this forenoon with George Sherburne,
the betrayer of Miss Josephine Drew OF Fish
eryille. whose sad death has already been
made public, caused large crowd of people
70 assemble at the station. City marshal
Connell. fearing some riotous demonstration,
had a good police force with him and instant
IL surrounded Chadwick and the prisoner as
.hev stepped from the train. AS the officers
and prisoner started for the station in Central
block an immense crowd surrounded and FOL
lowed them, so that it was with difficulty tilat
they could make their way. There was no
interference made by the excited spectators,
although they muttered threats and derided
he prisoner. Sherburne was terribly fright
ened and begged the police to protect MN;
While he remained in the station house until
preparations could be made to take him to the
iail. the crowd remained outside completely
blocking up the entrance to the headauarters
The officers saw the temper of the crowd and
we're in strong force as they descended the
stairs to convey the prisoner to team that
was waiting on Warren street to take him to
the Jail.
As the force stepped upon the Sidewalk,
heavy, stout built man jumped upon the pris-
oner with demoniacal rage, and dealt heavy
blows upon him whenever he could get
chance. This was the signal for action and
the crowd Immediately shouted "kill him,
Hang him" and other significant threats and
at the same time three or four other persons
Joined the first man in beating the prisoner
and in attempting to take him from the hands
of the officers.
At one time it seemed as though the rioters
might possibly get possession of the prisoner,
but the officers were firm and at last succeed
ed in getting Sherburne into the team and he
was quickly driven away towards the JAIL
But the saddest part was learned when it was
ascertained that the man who first sprung up
on the prisoner was the unfortunate girls fa-
Their, who is naturally of mild and most
peaceable disposition. He was qaiet wha
the prisoner was taken from the depot but as
he descended the stairs with the police, the
thought of his sad home and dead child over
came his reason and he became insane.
Among those who attacked the prisoner was
also an uncle of Miss Drew.
For some time after Sherburne was taken
away the crowd remained around the police
station, some Of them freely expressing
their opinions that Sherburne ought
to be hung and the hope that he would be.
Mr.. Drew was taken to CAROLS saloon
and most kindly cared for. lie is Temporal
rily insane and in terrible state of agitation
And when in addition to this there comes the
report that the mother is distracted at her
home in Baskerville, it is not to be wondered
at that threats of vengeance upon Sherburne
are freely uttered

the hair where the follice5 are de-

Of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-

Its occasional use will prevent the hair

THE ROLLER. "A lot of recently laid
down grass ground, soon after the frost
leaves the ground, covered with small
stones, may be passed with the roller, and
the small stones better disposed OF by
sinking them into the earth than by getting
them into piles. These stones seem to
tighten and warm the ground, and make it
more productive. Rolling the ground is also
good when the land has laid down unevenly
tho previous year. If the land is too dry,
wait till just aftera soaking rain, and it
will work capitally. 1t is a good idea to roll
plowed sowed ground before narrowing,
as it presses down the burrows that would
be turned back and makes the surface less
uneven, and the harrow pulverizes it much
better. We find that on an average not one
farmer in four has a roller. Now it would
cost but little, and any farmer of common
ingenuity could make. one, to be operated
either by horse or oxen. We think it would
pay many times its cost in one season. 1t
is a good plan to roll down the stubble
grounds in the spring; it presses down the
old corn roots that are in the way Of the
scythe and rake. ,los7 le01s a6
