FROM THAYER.
The Rowing Revolver Rampant.
4 Curious Deal all Round.

From a gentleman just from Thayer, We
learn tie particulars of shooting sfray
which occurred there during the last week.
Mr.. NJ. J. Halsted il a merchant who re.
Gently failed on account Of taking too many
bonds Of the Memphis and Northwestern
Railroad. Mr.. Halstead held cha,,eI
mortgage on span of gray horses belonging
to Mr.. s. II. johnson. On Monday of this
week Mr.. Johnson's son-in-law appeared in
Thayer with the horses. Mr.. Halsted
jumped into the wagon and selling the lines
drove of. The son-in-law coming out at this
iuncture and seeing the game, cried "halt. I"
Mr.. Halsted not understanding the term,
laid down in the bottom of the wagon and
whipped up his horses. Whereupon Mr.. son
in-law pulled q pistol and opened FIRE. Mr.
Hals.ed succeeded in getting away with the
team, which he deposited at livery stable.
John McMahcn, the attorney for the son-in-
law, sent le;te- to the livery man. telling
him if he did not forthwith surrender the
horses he would be subject to the penalty OF
the law. Mr.. livery man forthwith surren-
dered the horses. Mr.. Halsted was then ar
raisned for horse stealing, and upon waving
examination bond was required in the sum
of $500. This amount was furnished by the
citizens of Thayer and Mr.. Halsted went
free. The attorney for the prosecution elated
with his success, then got drunk and LOST. SEQ
at poker. While taking a drink in the
morning he stole SIS from the barkeeper.
Obliged to confess at the mouth of pistol he
refunded, and on the ensuing morning ''lit
OUT for Altoona, and here the battle rests
for the present. We are anxiously waiting
however for more news from Thayer.

Even With n 10 sweetheart.
The Kansas City Times says young man
who is engaged in the retail liquor trade, as
clerk in house on Main street, recently
became enamored of handsome young girl,
who held domestic position in the family
of his employer, a.I by acts OF kindness,
sdmixed with attention to her, succeeded in
gaining her smiles, and as he thought, love.
Ga Christmas last. in order to manifest his
higa appreciation of the young girl, and
show that his love was no. OF beggarly
kind, he visited one OF the mammoth dry
goods establishments in the city. AMI expenc.
ed sixty dolisrs in purchasing for his adora-
Bile silk dress: which was duly, and we pre-
sumo with an appropriate set speech, pre-
sented. With eyes brimfui Of thanks, and
with cheeks-cheeks beautiful with the
rose OF -youth-or rouge-we don't know
which -sufused with blushes, modest rec.
IGNITION of the kindness bestowed upon her,
the young damsel received the gown.
The gown settled the matter and dispelled
all doubts in the mind OF the maiden fair-if
any existed-as to the sincerity of the young
man, and they were bethrothed. The course
Of true love run smooth enough with the
young people until few evenings now gone.
Ga one certain evening, not 60 deeply buried
in the past as to be forgotten, the young girl
desired TO attend dance at Turner Hall.
The young man otjec'ed, and in his Office
ton forgot the saying:
'.He is a fool, who thinks by force or skill
To turn the curreBt Of a woman's will.''
for not satisfied with protesting, he used
threats, and finally, very artfully feigned
sickness. The, however, did not have
the desired effect, as the damsel attended
the bail, and that, too, in company with
an old lover, to whom size was betrothed.
This was the last interview the young
bartender ever had with his sweetheart.
Last Tuesday. al accompanied by tine old lover,
the girl visited Independence, at which
place che is said to have married the first
love- The new dress was lett, however,
which fact the Tilted young man ascertained,
and while bis mad was up he visited the peg
on which hung the beautiful present, and
with pair of good sharp scissors, trans
formed that beauieous garment into quilt
pieces in a little less than no time, thus salts
tying his anger in revengeful manner. We
hope, now that he is left lonely, with 'no
one to love-" he may learn a lesson from q

LEGISLATION.

young wife went back to live at judge
Morses house IN Livingston street.
and here was celebrated with great
eclat their tin wedding. Numerous
! friends gathered round them, and the
world outside said that the path of the
! young couple through life was strewn
with roses. By -aad-by Judge Morse
gave the house in Livingston street to
his stepdaughter and her husband.
Meantime Mr.. Tilton had kept up his
intimate friendship with Mr. Moulton.
his old schoolfeilow who had ioined
the warehouse firm of Woodruff, Rob
inson & Co. in business, and in his
turn married the niece of Mr.. Robins IN.
The families were intimate, and Theo-
dore Tilton d little over four years ago
introduced Mr.. Moulton to Mr.. Beech
er, who, too, conceived Il warm regard
for his friends friend.
Theodore Tilton had brother and a
sister, both of whom came to live with
him when Judge Morse made his wife
the present of the house III Livingston
street. The brother became idiotic
from scarlet-fever the sister was a
highly accomplished lady, a thorough
musician, and sang for many years the
alto score III the choir OF ST, Peters
Church in State street, i'll this city
She still resides in Brooklyn, and is
esteemed for her amiable qualities by
a large circle of friends. During one
of Mr.. Iilton's lecturing torrs West,
the idiot brother became violent, so
violent that Mrs. Tilton, without the
knowledge of her husband, removed
him from the cottage. Under the
pretense OF taking a carriage ride, she
induced him to go out with her alone.
Once III the carriage, they were driven
to the County Insane Asylum at Flat
bush, where she left him in charge of
the attendants. Finding himself i'm
INJURED, the lunatic lost all restraint.
He became perfectly wild at times, and
1t was necessary to put him frequently
IN that garment known to keepers in
lunatlc asvlums us a straight jacket
Mrs. Hilton visited him frequently in her
husbands absence, and was the only
one Of the family he would allow to
approach him. He fingered for a
time, and died two years ago in the
asylum, but vas buried from Mr..
Tilton's residence in Livingston street
The latter's father and mother are still
alive, and reside in comfortable cir
cumstances at Keyport, n. J.
His friends assert that no blight ever
fell across his life until his wife's al
legged infidelity with Mr.. Beecher; that
that T." drove him to freeIoyers," and
that the pernicious doctrines of the
latter ruined him. At all events 1t is
certain that the alleged date of his
wlfe's confession found him a thriving
and eminently successful man that he
never saw Mrs. Woodruff until she
printed the story of a horrible Brooklyn
scandal, and that he has since seemed
utterly reckless of his social standing.
Mrs. Tilton's friends repel the insin-
uation that he is insane, and those
acquainted with the family say it is ii
dlculous to suppose that there is any
faint Of hereditary insanity because his
brother died in lunatic asylum.

Treating Orchard Ground.

The raising of fruit is the raising OF
farm crop. Now, to do justice to
gram, corn, grass and other crops, care
has to be taken. Weplow, harrow, and
get the land In good filth; we manure
1t; we drain 1t if necessary. II these
things are neglected there Will be no
crop; If negligently done there will be
poor crop.
Fruit trees are farm crop. If the
land isproperly cultivated and enriched,
II 1t is well-drained, there will be a
good growth; il not, not, or not sc
good. As we treat our orchard so it
Will be. Hence the effect of our neg
lected orchards which we so much see.
Make the orchard specially, that is.

for that purpose. And here an expla
nation IS necessary: Ii your ground is
deeply rich, porous and drained, sur
face cultivation ha, little effect. The
roots, plunging down, get out of its
reach. Manure applied is retained at
the surface if the soil is retentive, as a
good, weu-balanced soil is Then grass
may be grown and crops removed. We
have seen this III numerous cases and
with the most gratifying results. And
here also we have found the best sue
cess in fruit-growing The best or
chard (apple) that we ever knew was in
such soil, the roots piercing down many
feet, blowing permitted up to the tree.
This orchard was kept constantly in

as ever, and has been uniformly good
for the many years that we have known
it,
Such land then is an exception to the
general culture of the farm. It does
not affect the culture of the grain and
grass crops; but it is an exception to
the treatment Of fruit trees. The ad-
vantage here is in the depth of the soil

year would be benefited by one-half of
the fruit taken off as soon as it is well
set; and the overbearing of tree will
III few years destroy it. But it re-
qu1res courage to thin out fruit as
much as 1t should be. As rule, the
fruit should be thinned out, SO that
when fully grown, they will not touch
each other. Indeed, it would be bet
ter to thin out peaches SO that the dis
lance should be from two to four
inches. In the latter case the result
Will be that what fruit is allowed to re-
mann on will be of large size, and
usual y of fine color, and will command
ready sale in market at high and re-
muneratlye figures. In no instance is
fruit SO good when the tree or plant is
overloaded, nor viii it attain its proper
SIZE. The price is always much less,
the customers dissatisfied, and your
trees suffer therefrom.

HE SKEPTICAL CONvINCED.-E
advance IN Medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition, which
is the test Of truth Galen and Jenner
only were believed when they had
proved theirdiscoyeries against opposi-
ton. But men are observing, and
benefits always make believers. No
lncredullty can stand the silent argu-
ment Of good results. WhenDr. Walk
er proclaimed that he had produced
from the medicinal herbs of California
an Elixir that would regenerate the
sinking system and cure diseases not
organic, the incredulous shook their
heads. Yet his VINEGAR BrrrERs is
now the Standard Restorative of the
Western World The truth could not
b resisted. Under the operation of the
new remedy, Dyspeptics regained their
health, appetite and strength, the Bill
Gus and Constipated were relieved of
every distressing symptom; the Con-
sumptive and Rheumatic rapidly re-
covered Intermittent and Remi t at
Fevers were broken up the tar t of
Scrofula was eradicatedl Who could
gainsay facts like these Not even the
Faculty. Skepticism was routed. All
doubts as to the claims of the Bitters
to the first place in the first rank Of
modern medicines were silenced, and
this wonderful preparation is to-day the
most popular Tonic, Alternative, and
Blood Depurent ever advertised III
America. In common with other Jour
nalists, we are free to add our testi-
mony to this remedy. 1t is domestic
medicine, and no household should be

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


Mr. Aiken, of South Carolina, says
that the loss by neglecting to save cot
ton seed is immense; piles of the seed
are allowed to decompose and waste at
every gin house, and yet the seed is a
valuable manure. For cultivating crops,
or 30 bushels broadcast, to the acre,
will increase the crop considerably.
Seed can be rotted by composing it in
alternate layers OF leaves, straw and
stable manure; 100 bushels of green
cotton seed, mixed in bulk with a ton
Of soluble phosphate and allowed to re-
main fortnight, will make capital
compost for 10 acres of any cultivated
crop.
