DEATH OF AN "IRIsH PEDDLER."

Franklin Gillespie, an Irish peddler, who
for several years past has been plying his vo-
cation in this State and North Carolina, died
in this place on Saturday night last. The
circumstances attending his death were deemed
such as to render coroner's inquest necessary,
which was had by coroner John R. Wallace,
on Monday, and resulted in verdict that
the deceased came to his death from the in
temperate use of ardent spirits.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

A bill is now pending in the Legislature
proposing to change tho time for the sitting
of the Circuit Court for York county, from the
first Monday of March to the first Monday of
April. Through a dispatch received from
Columbia few days ago, We learn that it is
quite probable that the change will be made,
and as a result, no Court will be held in this
county until the first Monday Of April. While
it is probable that the jurors drawn on last
Saturday will not be required to serve, it is
necessary that they attend at the time men-
toned in the summons.

companies have also sold large quantities.

OUR FUTURE.

AS a general thing, We know very little
about the present and past, and far less about
the future. Occasionally, however, a ray of
light breaks through the darkness of the pres
ent moment, giving US some glimmerings of
the future day. For the last FIVE or six years,
a cloud of gloom has been hanging over our
country, and still it is dark, but not so por-
tentous as a short time ago. The coming day
discovers its approach by some streaks of
light in the east. Although there are great
many persons who have but little money, and
some who have none at all, there is more
money in our county to-day than has been at
any previous period within the last five years.
This is one evidence, although not absolutely
infallible, of the approach of day. There is,
generally, and in York county especially,
more provisions than has been at this season
of the year any year since the war. Stock
horses, mules and cows-are in better condi-
ton than heretofore since the war. This is a
favorable sign of the dispersion of the gloom
which has been hanging over US for so long a
time, and ofreturning prosperity.
Another favorable omen is, that our people
generally seem better conteuted-not so rest
less and i'll at ease. There may be very little
poetry, but there is great deal Of good, hard
sense in the old saying that Trolling stones
gather no moss" The man who is always
fretting because his neighbor's coat is better
than his own, will not be likely to get better
coat than his neighbor, until he ceases to fret
and goes to work to make good coat. Many
of the people, if not a majority of them, have
gone manfully to work, with the full deter
mination to better their circumstances. This,
some have, to great extent, already accom-
plished, and many others are in fair way to
do so. 1t is true that many of our people are
poor; but many of US, perhaps, have been
poorer than we are to-day. And perhaps
none of us but have more hope than we had
five years ago.
There is more enterprise in the State of
South Carolina than has been at any time
since the war. The people are building some
railroads, and talking about building others.
In some sections of the State, large manufac-
turing establishments are going up, and the
erecting of others is contemplated. Perhaps
we might say that there is as much enter
prise in the State of South Carolina to-day
as there ever was Agriculture is undergoing
rapid change. The soil is better cultivated,
and more manures and fertilizers are used
than ever were before in the history of the
State 1t is true that this thing is of but
recent origin; but it increases each year with
favorable results.
Unite all these things together, and many
more that might be mentioned, and we are
obliged to conclude that, Notwithstanding the
many grievous drawbacks with which we
have to contend, appearances begin to bright
en-. Twenty years will produce a wonderful
change in this country. Land that to-day is
scarcely saleable, may then be unpurchaseable
The present is a season ofgolden opportunities

Horrible Confession of a Murderer.
From the Harrisburg 0a.y Journal.


On Thursday afternoon Nelson Wade,
who murdered Mrs Isabella Mcbride in
Lycoming County, made Il confession,
which he preceded with the remark that
he didn't 'care a d--n what was done with
it, He admitted that he had committed
the murder, but denied that he shot Mr..
Mcbride, as the Coroner's jury decided.
The fatal injuries We're inflicted with a
club. While at a farmhouse near by he
learned where trunk containing thou
sand dollars was located, and about how
much the couple were worth. On reach
ing the house on Tuesday evening he
asked Mcbride for milk, and was directed
to the wife, who was about the cellar She
told him that he would have to pay if he
wanted it.
The murderer continued: | returned to
the house and found the door holted. The
old man finally opened it, and | put my
foot to the inside. He struck me, and |
knocked him down with my fist, as well as

Waiting for me,

Whilst unheeding, looked upon the care,
The cumbering care;
Thinking it strange that l was left alone,
So much to bear.
But, growing weary, l looked up for Him,
And he was near,
Waiting within my home, and watching there
My care and fear.
And then he seemed to say, 'Oh, troubled soul

Harvesting Beans.

Beans are very easily damaged and re
duced in value i'll harvesting From the
time they are gathered until they are
thrashed and marketed they should be
kept dry and protected from mildew. EX-
posure to damp causes them to be spotted
or discolored, in which case they are either
unstable or can be disposed Of only at IA
much reduced price.
AS soon as the beans are ripe they
should he pulled. This may be convcu-
iently done by passing down between two
rows, commencing 50 that the fence is at
the left hand and the field at the right, and
pulling the plants in both rows, laying
them over on the right hand row then
passing between the next two rows. gath
wards those already gathered. Before the
dew falls the beans should be stacked. TO
do this, a pole six feet long should be
stuck firmly into the ground. Then short
pieces of rails should be laid on each side
of the pole. The beans should be laid on
these rails, the roots one way. One mod
erately sized bunch should be laid on each
side Of the stake or pole. Then other
lunches should be laid across the first
ones, and the roots kept always on the
same side of the stack This is to prevent
the earth from falling in amongst the beans
and discoloring them. In this way the
stack is carefully built up, and on reach
ing the top Of the stake a cap of straw is
fastened around it, and spread so as to
shed the rain and keep the beans dry. The
stack is so open and narrow that the wind
passes freely through it, and curing goes
on rapidly. When they are sufficiently
cured they may be hauled to the barn and
threshed, either with the fail or machine
with the concave raised, and Winnowed
and bagged for market
Although stock will not eat beans raw.
when cooked they are readily eaten by
swine, and furnish an excellent and re
markably nutritious feed, which is rich in
fesh-torming material. For the farmer
himself they are most excellent and
nutritious food, and best when boiled and
eaten without the usual pork, but accom-
panied by plain butter and salt and pep
per.

BREAKING Colts The gentling of colts
should begin when they are but Il few
weeks old. Frequent handling and occa-
sional salting or feeding them from
your hand and stroking their neaks are
all good practices. From two to three
years old they should be accustomed by
degrees to the saddle and bride. Thus
treated, breaking becomes an easy task.
When first being driven they should be
harnessed with good, steady horse. In
fact, kindness and firmness, together with
good common sense, is what is needed in
breaking colts And if they are rightly
managed they will seldom, If ever play
any tricks In the first place they should
be made to understand what is wanted Of
them and then in a proper way make them
perform accordingly. Rural New Yorker.
