NEW York, Dec. 14.-This morning
Superintendent Walling, of the police
|rgc6fved despatch from Fort Hamil,
ton, stating that two men, named WIZ
liam Mosher and Joseph Douglass,
were shot and killed while attempting
TO commit a burglary.
Dou lass, bctore, dying, declared
that Mosher knew all about Charlie
Ross, stolen from Philadelphia. A
detective was at once despatched from
the Central Office to identify the bur-
glars. jMosher is supposed to be the
man who wore goggles and induced
the missing boy to 20 with him in the
buggy. orq clft = hsaS''I b1nd
Inc burglary was attempted at the
residence OF ex-Judge Rulett Van Brunt
on the Coney Island plankroad, at Bay
Ridge, Long Island. The Judge saw
the men endeavoring to force an en-
trance into his house, and fired two
shots, both of which took effect, one
killing Mosher instantly, and the other
so wounding Douglass that he died in
an hour. Douglass stated positively
that it was Mosher who abducted
Charlie Ross. sc.. G-.H er'''
HOW THE STATEMENT OF DOUGLASS WAS
-l1l1 MADE
An extra reporting the shooting of
the two burglars at Bay Ridge says -
Among the persons attracted to the
spot was Richard Herken, sailor,
whose house was little distance from
Judge Van Brunt's residence. Be-
tween him and the wounded man the
following remarkable conversation
took place ~
The dying man." says uerken,
WAS lying on the ground, and asked
him his name. He said it was Joseph
Douglass, and that he resided in New
York. The name of the man who
was killed he told me was Moseley,
also of New York. He then volun-
tarily made the following statement,
without any suggestion having been
made by any one present i and
Moseley were the men who abducted
Charlie Ross. / said to him DO you
know where he is now ~ He said
No" He said Moseley had him con-
cealed somewhere, but where he did \
not tell me. He also stated that Nose
ley was married men, and had six
children, but whether he had Charlie
Ross with them he could not tell n,e.
HE begged God to forgive him, and
asked for minister He was quite |
when he made that statement, |
and several persons We're present and
heard what he said.
The bodies of the men were covered |
up and left in the place where they |
were shot, on the grass, in the custody |
of constable, until the Coroner should |
give permission for their removal.
The men are believed to have been
river pirates. A boat was found
INQUIRED to the shore, about half mile
from Judge Van Brunt residence. Ii
appears that in effecting an entrance
to Judge Van Brunt's residence they
sprung burglars alarm which con
nected with the adjoining residence
and surprised the inmates, who turned
out. The burglars, discovering that
they were likely to be captured, left
cautiously. They fired at two or the
pursuing party and then ran. hey
were then fired upon, with thr rIrc
stated

Cotton Seed as a Fertilizer.

Cotton seed as manure is one OF
the richest and best that nature has
provided for the farmer, suitable for
any kind Of crop aud any kind OF
soil. What fatal economy then to
sell the seed and rob tho soil.
1t is the common belief, that cotton
seed rs Il manure are better for corn
than the cotton plant. 1t is strange
that cotton should form an exception
to q rule so well established, that each
plant in state Of decomposition is its
own best manCrc but the manner OF
applying tic cotton seed as manure
may bring about such result. The
growing cotton plant is less hardy
than corn, and the immediate contact
Of its roots with hot tcrmcnting cot
ton seed seems to act in the same
manner that an overdose Of guano or
fresh stable manure would do, and in
iu?c the young plant. On the other
hand, it is well known if the fcrmcn-
tation or decay Of the cotton seed is
allowed to take place in the open air,
the energy Of its action as manure
is greatly icssencd.
The best method, probably, 70 avoid
both Inconvenience would be to al.
low the cotton seeds to decay in the
ground which they are intended to
manure, by Introducing them into the
soil some weeks or months previous
to the planting Of cotton. Run fur
row in the middle Of the future bed.
scatter the seeds in it. and then lay
enough earth with ll.e turn pIow over
the cotton seeds 70 cover them thor
oughl y ; as tho cotton seeds decay,
the earth with which they arc cover
cd Will absorb the ammonia and other
gases given off during fermentation.
Then just before planting lime bed up
in the usual way. This is probably
the very best way to use cotton seed
as 4 manure for cotton. The tap root
Of the cotton plant, and its tibrcs,
will reach and a, simulate the nourish-
mcnt contained in the cotton seeds at
: period when the plant is not only
able to bear the stimulating effects of
tie manure without injury, but is
most particularly in need of it, for it
is aboLt the time it commences TO
blo"r, and 1..uit.
Every bushel Of cotton seed made
on farm should be scrupulously re-
turned to the land if fed to the stock.
the manure shonld all be saved and
applied to the soil. 1t has been shown
by anal Iysis that the cotton seed from
Il 800 pound bale Of cotton will take
annually from the soil an amount of
mineral and other ingredients that
would make over twenty bushels of
corn. How necessary that VIC should
husband our cotton seed as one Of the
most valuable manurcs.
Some Of our very best farmers cs-
innate that cotton seeds are well
worth Is cents per bushel. At 12
cents they arc the cheapest and best
manure We can apply TO our lands, if
used with skill and judgment. -

BEAUTY SLEEP. -- Sleep obtained
two hours before midnight, when the
negative forces arc in operation, is the
rest which more rccuperatcs the sy's-
tenn, giving brightness to the eye and
Il glow to the check. The difference
between the appearance Of q person
who habilually rctires at ten o'clock
and that Of one who sits up until
twelve is quito remarkable. The tone
Of the system SO evident in the com
plcxion, the cIcarness and sparkle OF
the eye, and the soitncss Of the lines
of the features are, in person of
health, kept at "conccrt pitch" by
taking regular rest two hours before
twelve o'clock, and thereby obtaining
the "bcauty sleep" Of the night.
7 here is a hcavincss Of the eye, a sal.
lowncss Of skin, and absence Of that
glow in the face which renders it fresh
in expression and round in appear
ancc, that readily distinguishes the
person who keeps late hours.

The Reason Why.

Why does boiling fast render meat
hard? =
Because the excessive action OF
| heat causes the albumcn OF the meat
to set solid, crisps up the flcshy h9res,
and prevents heat having q gradual
access to the interior.
Why. when good soup or broth is
required, should the meat be put into
! cold water2
Because, as the heat is developed
very gradually, there occurs an inter
mixture between the juices OF the
flesh and the external water. The
soluble and savory parts of the meat
escape and enrich the soup.
WHY are stews generally hcalthfnl
and digcs,ible?
Because, being compounds of varl-
Gus substances, they contain all the
elements Of nutrition, and, as the
Office of the stomach is to liquify solid
food before diges'ing it, the previous
stcwing assists the stomach in this
particular.
What causes tho cracking noise
when lard is put into q fryins-pan?
Lard always contains some portion
Of water, and it is the expansion of
this water into steam, forcing its way
through the fat which causes the
cracking noise.
The heat at which fat OF oil boils is
much greater than that of water
When the cracking ceases, the water
has been driven off from the fat, and
when the fat begins subsequently to
boil or bubble, its heat will be very
high.
Why i'll frying fish should the fat Or
oil be made very hot before the fish is
lput in?
Because if the temperature is low
when the fish is put into the frying,
pan, it becomes sodden in the steam
formed by its own water; but if the
oil be very much heated tho water
will be at once driven of. and the fish
nicely Drowned by the scorchjng oil
Why should fish or meat that is
being fried be frequently turned?
Because the turning assists the
evaporation Of the water. When the
fish or meat is allowed to lie too long
steam is generated under it, and the
substance becomes sudden; and tho
moment the steam is driven of, tho
surface catches to the hot pan, and
becomes burnt and broken.
Why is boi!cl meat so juicy and
savory.
Because the action OF the fire, hard
cning its sEriacc, seals up the pores
through which the juices might cs-
cape. 1t acts in the same way that
the sudden dip into boiling water
does upon joints Of meat, but more
eilectnally. TO turn broiling meat
never use q fork, but tongS; q fork
opens an escape 70" the juice, and
wastes the best part Of the meat.
Why is cabbage rendered more
wholesome and nutritious by being
boiled in two waters?
Because caGbagcs contain an essen
tial oil, which is apt to produce bad
effects; and they should be boiled in
two successive waters, till they are
soft and digcstib!c.

BEAUTY AND -DREss. "A clever
writer says: "Providcncc meant wo-
man to make the world beautiful as
much as flowers and butterflies, and
there is no sin in tasteful dress, but
only in deVoting to it too much mon,
cy or too much time" This is a
most sensible view, and is the true
medium between the one extreme OF
straight and rigid simplicity and the
devotion of tho best energies Of q
lifetime to vanity and frivolly. But,
after all, what is this rage for dress
but an effort after the beautiful? The
reason why the beautiful is not al
ways the result, is because so many
women are ignorantor merely imila
tive. They have no sense Of fitness
The short wears what belongs to tho
tall, and bruncttes sacrifice their nat
uraI beauty to look like blondes, and
