The HENRY F. MILLER PIANO-FoRrEs.-
The instruments from this establishment
are rapidly coming into public notice
and favor. and already occupy foremost
position among drst-class pianos.
Mr.. Miller is himself practical mechan-
ic, and thorough musician. and the su-
periority which these pianos have over 9TH
ers, is owing ina large measure to the
careful supervision which each instru-
ment receives from the manufacturer be-
fore it is allowed to leave his establish.
ment. The award of the contract to fur
nish the public schools of Boston with
pianos must be very gratifying 10 Mr..
Miller, and Is testimony Of the musical
public to the high position which these
instruments occupy. The segere tGst that
they have received It the New England
Conservatory Of Music. and at many 9TH
er public institutions where they are in
constant daily use, is . guarantee OF their
many excellent qualities, and especially of
their darcbility. They are used and rec
by most Of the leading musi-
ians Of Boston.

Gently jumped the track at Lebanon Hol'

The other day Frank McKeever went
in bathing at South Lyons, Mich, and,

was drowning Newton Starks went to
his assistance and both were drowned.

They took him in the house and called a
physician, who dressed his wounds, and
theIe were some hopes Of his recovery at
last accounts.
"A few mornings ago three young Da-
venp0rt (Iowa) boys went to the river IN
the west part of the city to take a bath
and dsport themselves in the water.
They chose a slough where the water was
three feet deep, and one boy, Chas. Hill

somersault under the surface, became

comrades, not being able to render az

not come and the boy was drowned.

Raising Ducks.

1t by no means follows because ducks
are water.t fowl that much water is re-
CURED to raise them. Yet this is a very
common impression, and multitudes of
farmers and villagers deny themselves the
enjoyment and profit of flock of ducks
because they have no pond or stream near
the house. 1t is true that adult ducks will
get good deal of their living out OF a
water privilege if they have one. 1t is not
true that water to swim in is essential to
their profitable keeping. They want some
range and grass and good fresh water to
drink every day. Ordinarily, ducks can
be protitably raised wherever hens can be.
They make a pleasing variety in the poul-
try yard, and all who have room for them
can enjoy them. The first thing in rails
ing ducks is to get them out Of the shell,
and for incubation we decidedly prefer
hens to ducks. They sit more steadily
and take much better care of the young
The wettng of the ducks eggs daily in
the last two weeks of incubation is even
more necessary than for hens eggs.
In recent visit to a poultryman who
has Just started in duck.raising, he showed
us five Young Pekin ducks and six dead
ducks well dried up in the shells, from
sitting of twelve eggs. He had not
learned the secret of wetting the eggs.
This il sometimes done by sprinkling
water upon them, but we think it better to
take them from the nest and put them in
u basin of tepld water about blOod-warm.
This moistens the whole shell without
chilling the embryo life within. The
Gucklings out of the shell may be allowed
to remain upon the nest with the hen Tor a
Gay. The hen may then be put upon a
grass plat under a coop, where the
ducklings can go in and out mt pleasure.
or if the hen is allowed liberty, the
duckHngs should he confined in small

return home, in describing his eyplOra.
tioLs behind the falling waters. That
this guides heroic deed was not overratcd
we have ample evidence from his courage
exhibited yesterday in resculng William
Mccullough from IA watery grave.
About Il 80 a. m. yesterday the citi-
Zens of Niagara were shocked by the re-
port that painter working on the bridge
leading to the second Sister Island had
fallen into the rapids below, and was
carried over the falls Our reporter was
soon on the spot, and found the facts
somewhat exaggerated. 1t seems that
the painter who is some sixty years OF
age, was engaged in painting the bridges
spanning the chasm between the three
islands known as the Sister Islands. In
descending short ladder to a narrow
scailold beside the bridge he accidentally
stepped to one side OF the planks and
fell To- the river below, only IA distance of
few feet In an instant he WAS carried
down the stream toward the falls. George
Curtis, n photographer, who was arranging
his camera To take u view of the bridge
with the painter in his perilous position,
heard n cry, and Immediately crossed to
Goat Island and ran toward Terrapin
Tower, thinking he might possibly aD
proaCh near enough to shore to receive
what he supposed would be corpse
after going through the turbulent rapids.
The unfortunate man rolled over and
over until he reached deep place few
rods below the bridge, when he disap
peared, with the exception of his boots.
The heavy current swept him on toward
the prccipiCe with equal pace with the
photographer, uatil about forty rods be

above the water Not being entirely in.
sensible he eSpiCd rock about six inches
out of the water, and, spreading out his
arms, was driven with extreme force on
it. Ina nearly exhausted condition he
raised himself out of the water and sat
calmly ON the rock Being not Tar from
the shore, Mr. Curtis asked if he was hurt,
and received the reply that he was unin-
jured. Messengers Were Immediately dis.
patched to the papcrmill for ropes, and
in few minutes nearly the whole village
was running toward the scene.
The necessary ropes were soon on the
ground, and young man volunteered 10
go to the rescue. Fastening the rope
around his waist he started for the rock,
but he had gone but a few feet when il was
evident that his fragile form could not
withstand the fierce current, and he came
ashore.
About this time Thomas Conroy, a
guide at the Cave OF the Winds, appeared
ON the scene and Immediately volunteered
to bring Mr.. Mccullough ashore. TAX

The Onion MaggOt.

The maggot is the onion growers
worst foe, and those who endeavor to
crush the power OF an enemy before it be-
comes troublesome are wiser than those
who endeavor to put stop to its progress
alter 1t has become formidable. 1t is
generally admitted that the maggot is the
onion lily IN It's larva state, or in its first
stage after bearing the egg. 1t is in this
stage OF its existence and no other, that
it can be styled an insect injurious to
vegetation; and if we can destroy the
eggs, or prevent their being deposited in
the onion fields, we are at once rid of the
enemy.
Having noticed some of the habits of
the onion fly, am inclined to the opinion
that they select, as far as possible, partial
~ decomposed onion tops III which to
deposit their eggs. When onion tops and
sculllons are allowed to decay upon the
surface OF the ground, in process of time
they become natural breeding bed, and
attract flies from the surrounding country
In larger numbers than can be accommo-
dated by those beds. They next attack
the weaker plants, and sometimes those
which are making strong, luXuriant
growth, to puncture and deposit their
eggs in the stalk. If the weather is warm,
these eggs hatch in few days, and the
maggots commence their depredations
upon the crop.
1t has been my own practice to care
fully turn under all refuse matter upon
the onion field late in the autumn, dress
literally with well-tined manure, leaving
it upon the surface exposed to the
ameliorating influence of the winters
lrosts and the drenching rains Of spring,
time; SOW early in thoroughly-pulverized
ground, and attend carefully to the after
culture. With this treatment the crop
usually gets an early start, makes vigor-
Gus growth, and is able to Withstand all
attacks of the enemy or changes in the
weather. think damage by the maggot
in this vicinity would not amount to 5
per cent. of the crop in the most unfavor-
able years. IS. p. Warner, in New En-
