Wheat In New Mexico.

A newspaper correspondent gives o
curious account of the manufacture OF
bread in New Mexico. To SOW the
wheat the ground is scratched with an
implement consisting OF pole and a
stick bound together with raw hide, and
drawn by n yoke Of oxen. The stick,
slightly sharpcned or tipped with iron,
docs the blowing. The grain is sown
by hand, and the ground narrowed by
having q Dough Of q tree dragged, over
1t. When the grain is ripo It Is cut,
sawed, or pulled OF with On old barrel
hoop or piece Of iron with toothed
edge. The crop is gathered and put
into M enclosure, and then the cattleof
the neighborhood are driven in. After
the grain has been well threshed in this
manner, the straw is shaken and tied
up in bundles, and the wheat, chat,
dirt, and stones arc brushed up into
hides aud emptied on the knolls to be
winnowed. Women and children do the
winnowing. They take n handful OF
the mixture and throw it in tho mir.
The chaff is blown away and tho grain
falls upon hard, smooth surface pre-
pared for it. The farmer next gathers
It up in cowhide sacks and takes it to
the mill. The mill is q two.story
shanty, over a swift stream Of water.
The wator.wheel is an upright wooden
shaft, and is turned by the water strik-
ing one side OFF In the second story
are tho millstones. The bottom one Is
cemented in brickwork, while the upper
one is wedged fast to the shaft and 70.

trimmed, II is constantly wearing OF
particles Of stone, which mix with the
aour. The grain is introduced through
an oxhide hopper, the month OF which
is an old boot leg sticking through tho
roof. The flour flies of in every direc.
tion over the floor, and is finally swept
up in q heap and put into oxhide sucks.
The next result is New Mexican bread.

APather's Vengeance.

l
The details Of the sad affair in Indian
apolis are thus told
For years Harding, the editor OF the
Herald, end MoritE, a well.known mer-
Chant, had been intimate friends, visit
ing each other frequently and constant
~ maintaining the kindliest relations.
Quite recently Harding had reason 10
suspect that MoritE had abused his
friendship in the most Rtrocious man
ner, and had taken advantage Of his
intimacy with the family TO corrupt the
mind ofhis daughter, Miss Flora Hard
ing, Young lady about twenty years
OF age, and to effect her ruin. His sus.
piclOns were soon confirmed. Having
acquainted his daughter with his sus-
picions, sho with tears confessed her
ain, and gave the grief.stricken father a
circumstantial account OF the manner
in which she had been led astray by
her fathers friend.
AT IN early hour in the morning Mr..
Harding arose and sought his daugh.
ter'S room. No answer being returned
to bis repeated knocks, he became
alarmed and burst in the door. On
reaching his daughters bedside he was
horriaed TO find that she was in coma.
tose condition, evidently from the
effects Of a deadly opiate. Medical at.
tendance was speedily summoned, and
the proper antidotes applied. Forum
ately the dose had been light one, md
the suffering girl was soon pronounced
out Of danger. At a late hour Mr..
Harding went down town, intending to
go to his work at the Herald office.
Soon after his departure it was found
that Miss Flora had grown alarmingly
worse. Messengers were dispatched TO
the Herald Office for Mr.. Harding, and
for physicians. When the former
reached home he found his daughter
much worse, and the girl died.
Mr.. Harding left his residence to
carry a note from Dr.. Fletcher, his fam.
lily physician (who had been attending
his daughter), to DR.. Piryin. Having
strong presentiment OF tho character
Of its contents, he opened the note and
read II, only to find his worst fears con.
6rmed in the statement OF DR.. Fletcher
to his brother physician that his patient
was dying. 1t was ut this supreme mo.
ment Of his agony that he encountered
Mr.. Moritz. Instinctiyely he drew his
revolver and fred with hasty aim, the
shot flying wide OF its mark. Moritz,
quickly comprehending his peril,
turned and fed toward the middle oil

who quickly fred again, the shot this
time taking effect in Moritz's left 81.
bow. The latter, crying murder, in
creased his speed, shouting as he ran.
A number Of persons whose attention
had been attracted by tho shooting hur,
ried to the spot and vainly endeayored
to arrest the assailant. But Harding
was nerved for vengeance, and con
tinued his pursuit, firing again and
again at varying distances OF from tor
TO twenty feet, until he Lad emptied TIT
fivo chambers o. his revolver.
The third shot struck Moritz in thu
left shoulder, passing through into thu
chest, and ranging downward througI
the lungs. After the shooting Harding
put up his pistol and walked to hi
house, when he WIS arrested.

Terrible Accident at a Wake.

A terrible accident, says letter from
Dublin, occurred at wake" in Little
Strand street, a dark and narrow thor.
oughfare. A party OF between twenty
and thirty persons were assembled in a
room on the second floor OF IN old, di.
lapidAted house TO express sympathy
with Edward Kelly, q quay porter, the
afflicted father Of IN infant two months
old, who died. The company were
reve!ing according TO the custom OF the
lever classes, when the floor gave way,
and they were all precipitated to the
basement with the contents OF the room
in On undistinguishable heap. A scene
Of great confusion and alarm ensued.
The greater number were able to extri-
cate themselves from the ruins, and rs.
sisted in getting out their comrades-a
task rendered more difficult by the ex-
element and pressure OF q crowd which
collected in the narrow and ill.lighted
space. 1u about quarter OF On hour
oil were rescued, but six persons were
found TO have received fatal injuries.
To add to the alarm excited by the &c.
cident, fire broke out in the ruins, but
itwas promptly extinguished. The &C.
cupants Of the upper part OF the house
expected TO share the fate OF those be.
low, and a woman threw her child ont
Of the window, but II was caught In the
arms OF stalwart man in the crowd,
and escaped unhurt. With the help OF
the police the inmates were allremoyed
from the house. There are sir persons
in the hospital. The Roman Catholic
clergy have endeayored by every means
to put IN end TO the practice Of holding
"wakes," which are usually hotbeds Of
dissipation and vice, but their rtmon.
strances and warnings have proved in.
eiiectual, and the evil can only be sup.
pressed by the strong hand Of the law.
