Train Of Accidents.

A vOry singular series of accidents occurred
lately at Elizabeth, Writ County, w. Va, a
few miles from Parkersburg, as stated by the
Times. Shortly after A. Wells and his family
had retired, Mrs. Wells complained of feeling
of numbness in her limbs and requested her
husband te help her to walk across the floor.
About half way across the room be expressed
some fears, when she told him not to be afraid,
aud Immediately dropped dead at his feet
He gave an alarm, aud neighbor, an old lady,
in crossing the street to his assistance fell,
breaking her left arm in two places and her
right collar bone. Her son, young man,
heard her scream. and rushing outof the house
to her aid, fell against the half open door,
breaking his nose and rebounding ssnseless to
the floor. Doctor Kendall, fastening to the
help Of the sufferers, also fell, broke two Of
bis ribs, and had to be carried home This
reads like joke. 1t is seriously trre

Deferred Articles.
A Congressman Called to Account

The press all over the country indulge freely
in censure of the course pursued by Congress
men who, under the lead OF the old spoon
thief, Butler, voted themselves additional pay
amounting to five thousand dollars to each
member in the closing hours Of the last ses-
sion. The State Legislatures and people have
also taken the matter in hand and given certain
Ominous signs of discomfort at what has been
rightly called the Congressional steal"
The latest instance of popular reprObation
Of this nefarious transaction that has come to
our knowledge, is found in the action of the
Republicans Of Trumbull County, Ohio, in the
District represented by the Hon. John A. Gar
field, an ex-preacher, and one Of the lights ei
the party of grand moral IDEAS" In con-
vention assembled, portion of the censtitu-
eats of this gentleman, by solemn resolution
invited him to resign, asserting that such an
act as that committed by their representative
voting himself retroactive compensation
"is sufficient to destroy the confidence hereto
fore felt in any man who commits it." And
such will be the deliberate Judgment Of honest
men every where. A black list ought to be
published Of III. names of all the honora'
blss who voted for and took the back pay
aud their entrance TO future Congresses be for
ever barred. In this way only, can public
men be taught that honesty is the best poli
cy" under all rcumstances.-LynchbwS

Now and Then.

Just eight years age, remarks the Boston
Advertiser, General John B. Gordon, Of
Georgia, led strong column of the Confeder-
ate army of Northern Virginia in the memers-
bic assault on Fort Stsadman, salient point
10 the federal line, which then half eucrcled the
city Of Petersburg. To-day, Marsh 25, Gen
eral Gordon sits in the United States Senate. "
And, the Advertiser might have added, the
same General Gordon not only sat in the Sen
ate, but on the above day presided over its
deliberations a. the request Of the regular pre-
siding officer, Vice President Wilson, Of Mas
sachusstts, the State Of all others best hated
by The South. Thus is the practical work of
reconstruction and reconciliation gradually
going on in silent but effective way.

DEsrERATE IScESDTARY.-Ther is good
deal of excitement in the nsighborboOd OF San

Mr. John Crist a magistrate, Saturday night
There was but one way to get out of the house

then lighted it. The barking of frightened
dog, and the roaring Of the fame awakened
the family aud the Gre was extipgushed. A
cOlOred man of bad character suspected Of the
crime, has been warned TO leave the neighbOr-

Improved Use of Stable Manure.

Mr. Won Horskyfeld, the owner Of large lam
dsd estate in Bohemia, has since 1854 intro
duced method of treating the accumulatng
stabl, manure for which he claims many advan
tages, viz: economy Of time, space, feed and
bedding, great saving Of money and Of hands
and no necessity for such cJntrivances as cei-
lars, tanks, pumps etc. also far better produc:
no loss occurring from evaporation aud rot
and finally, a decided improvement in the con-
dition OF the cattle-yards, which never show
any trace Of manure, either solid OF liquid
He says all these favorable results are obtained
in the following way: The manure is not re-
moved from the stable until il reaches the
height Of five feet; the straw for bedding is
cut into lengths OF about five inches and tbus
moro readily absorb' the liquid portion, and
facilitates tbs distribution fthe manure in tn
burrows. The entire mass is constantly con-
pressed by The weight OF the animals, an
thereby kept moist while air and consequent
putrefacton are excluded. After about thrss
mouths this manure is carried to the field and
Immediately covered in the burrows, where f.
readily decomposes and yields all its strengi
to the still, fully double its usual value, accor-
ding to Mr.. Won Horskyfeld's experience Be-
sides this, the air in the stables is never tain
ted by exhslations injurious to the health OF
the cattle.

PLAsTER-A quart Of plaster a day will
keep large horse stable comparatively sweet;
and few bushels will absorb the ammonia
from large pile Of fermenting manure. As a
deoderizer, plaster is next to earbolic acid in
efficiency 1t should always be handy in the
stable, pig pen and yard, and the instant any
unpleasant order arises should be used lib
erally. It should be used literally around
the coss-poo, siuk-spout, drain snd all decay
ing vegetation, and particularly tho compost
heap. Plaster applied to clover always has a
coed effect The finer plaster is ground the
better. for ths reason that it is III. more easily
dissolved by the rains, fitting it to enter into
the growth Of plants.

THE EVENING STORY

"Eo, we are not sleepy, mother,

Tell us something sweet to think OF,
Tell % something sweet To dream.
Tell the very sweetest story
That you. ever heard or read,
And you'll see that well remember
Every single word yOu's said"

In the very long ago,
When the sky was full OF angels,
And from every shining row,
In voice ofheavenly music.
% Came loving message. given
For the sake Of one sweet baby 20
That had come that Dight from Heaven.
"Now, please tell us just another,
Tell the ssddest one you know"
And told of one who suffered
As he wandered to and fro;
Doing good to all around him.
Without fear, or sin, or pride;
Blessing those who most illused him,
For whose sake at last he died.
Now, please, just one more, dear mother,
Tell US now the strangest one"
So l told them Of journey
On the mountain top begun;
Through the azure, in a body,
Just as here on earth be trod,
Up through shining ranks of angels
To the very throne of God
Four blue eyes and two sweet voices,
Waited till my tale was done,
Then they cried, why, that was Jesus;
These three stories are but oneI"
