j. T. Kidder, with gang of about
twelve men were recently quarrying
slate for the Lake Shore Slate Company
at West Castleton, with a heavy bank
of earth and rock hanging over them.
After retiring at night heavy, rumbl-
ing sound was heard in the direction of
the quarry, which upon examination
was found to have been caused by the
falling in Of portion of the ledge one
hundred and forty feet in length, and
from five to twenty feet in thickness,
entirely filling the place where the men
had been at work but short time be-
fore. Had it occurred in working hours,
it would have been sure and instant
death to the whole party. K.

The holiday season is upon us, with
its Thanksgivings, sociables, donation
festivals. etc. On Wednesday evening
last the numerous friends of Rev. Mr..
Mott partook of an oyster supper in the
vestry of the Methodist church. The
net proceeds of the festival were 1926.
Independent of financial considerations
and notwithstanding the carping criti-
cisms of fastideousness, these donation
festivals are commendable institution.
All persons, of every grade and condi-
ton being welcomed, they bring into so
cial relations the people of a parish so
apt to form into cliques and classes,
and so often imbued with the Pharisalc
idea, ''Stand by, for | am holer than

The Telegraph Operators and the
Presidents Message.
Some days ago an item appeared in
the Free Press, redounding TO the credit
of Mr.. j. E. Griffith, the telegraph OPP
orator at Burlington, and based on the
fact that he took the Presidents mes
sage from the wires in about 12 hours.
The HERALD called attention to the fact
that MIR. Connor took the message here
in considerably less time, and that he
could have done still better chad he not
been annoyed by the slowness of some
one on the wire north of him.
We have received a polite note from
Mr. Griffith, in which he takes umbrage
at the words quoted above, and alleges
that his wire was down, or collapsed,
a part of the time He further chal-
lenges Mr.. Conner to trial of skill; but
with this latter we have nothing to do.
The facts are, that up to 1870 o'clock
of the night in question, we were on the
same wire with Burlington and ST. AL
bans, and were getting along very slow
ly-so slowly as to keep our compositors
waiting for copy. Arrangements were
then made here with an Albany opera
tor to send the balance of the message
to Mr., Conner ''like -;" and that's
the way it came. Conner didn't finch,
and held his end up so well that we re-
ceived the last sheet of the message be-
fore O'clock
At that time, and later, Burlington
and st. Adams were so far behind that
the New York operator, who was serv-
ing them, shut up and went to bed. In
this extremity we furnished slips of the
latter portion of the message to the OPP
orators here; and thus, by our courtesy,
Mr. Griffith and the operator at st. Al
bans were enabled to get through at
5:45 a. M, over two hours after we had
gone to press with the complete mes

NEW DECISION IL THE BANKRUPT LAW.
Judge Blodgett, in the United States
Distri, It Court, at Chicago, on Friday.
decided that hoteLkeeper did not come
within the terms of the bankrupt law as
merchant, manufacturer, or trader, and
hence it was not an act of bankruptcy if
he suspended payment for fourteen days.
If he committed fraud in attempting TO
conceal property, then he could be
thrown into bankruptcy. The point is
deemed new and important one.

Plant corn in the South, is the fit ad
monition Of right thinking men. Now,
to succeed in raising corn, two things
must be kept in mind, to-wit: Growing
corn needs food, and it sends its rootIets
or feeders out through the soil in search
OF food. If the corn is planted in hills
and ploughed both ways, throwing the
soil to the corn at each ploughing, by the
time the work Of cultivation is done, the
soil is all thrown from the centre, leaving
a deep hollow in the middle down to the
sterile clay. Now, when the feeders 90
out in search of food and penetrate this
clay, they find no food, and therefore can
impart no vitality to the mother stalk,
and failure is the consequence.
To insure success lay off your rows at
proper distances, say from four to five
feet, plough out the rows with a turn
plough, leaving a deep water furrow in
the middle; run deep scooter furrow in
the water furrow, drop your grains in the
scooter turrow about three feet apart. and
cover with harrow. Next plough and
harrow in such a way as when the work
of cultivation is done the whole surface
will be about level; then the rootlets can
traXel throughout from row to row, which
they will do, and find food wherever they
go. HENRY H. HUNT.

The Kjtehen.-We wish to give hus-
bands hint that the kitchen should be
made entirely comfortable for the good
wife, especially in winter. From per
sonal observation we know that the farm
house kitchen is too often cold, I'M
comfortable, disagreeable shed, and we
are not surprised that women get up
cheap meals when they have to cook
them in such place. If the farmer
wishes a good dinner he must give his
wife s. good place to cook it in. No wo-
man can cook a good meal if she has to
wrap shawl around her to keep warm;
and in some kitchens We know of, she has
to. Before cold weather sets in, see that
any holes in the kitchen plastering are
patched mp. See that the weather boards
are all in their place, and that the roo f
does not leak; and then, with good we, 4
furnished, the wife will feel like dom
her best toward getting up good mea'
