bloody fight took place Sunday afternoon
between the men Of Wards and Nc.
Laughlin's sections Of the Short Line
Railroad at Little Hooking, Ohio, ten
rnilesbelow here. ItWas fipt commenced
at q dance tcLsughlln's shanty Sat.
urday night, by one Of Wards men, who
came over from his section, six miles
away, on purpose to break up the dance.
He badly beat q woman, and was severely
punhhed in return. Ward himself came
over on Sunday morning, and learning
what happened, returned 10 his works.
collected his men, about one hundred In
all, armed With clubs, knives and pistols,
and mounting his bosSes on horses, no.
turned about 8 O'Clock In the Afternoon
and cleaned out McLaughlln's section.
Adolph Owens, coloFed, Of Frederick
county, Maryland, who was returning
from The Virginia eldeoWhere he had been

trouble, encountered Wards men as they
marched upon Mr.. Laughlin's work. BE
was attacked and pursued Tor Rome dis
tance, and finally knocked Of tho river
bluff. He took 70 tho water and swam for
his life. -Four shots were fired at him In
the water, the last killing him instantly,
Ills body was soon after recovered.
One Of Wards men has since died Of
his wounds, and nine or ten Others Of both
sides are very badly cut up. McLaugh-
Inns men have stampeded. The Sheriff
and his pose are alter Wards gang, who
have also disappeared. The men q both

sWhltes.As bosses, The steamer Germ,
coming up this morning, was hailed from

The instrument was complete, and they
all started over to the tlag-pole with
it. When they got as near to the pole as
they thought the pole was high, they
plumbed it, by holding string, with a
stone tied to it, at the top OF one of the
sticks; the stick was made to stand just
as straight up and down az the string.
Then they sighted, or looked along the
tops of the upright sticks, at the fiag-pole.
BY moving the instrument just to the
right place, they made the sticks grange"
with the top of the pole; that is, while
looking over the top Of the three sticks,
their eyes, seeing the end Of the sticks all
the while, saw also the very top of the
fag-pole,
BY measuring then, from that spot to
the flag pole, along the ground, they were
able to tell me that the flag staff was one
hundred and twelve feet distant from
them, and so the flagstaff was one hun
dred and twelve feet high.
Now this was simple application of
geometry, lesson that looks lawful"
hard to boys at school, but was only fun
learned in this way.

Dangers of Miscellaneous Smoking.

THE Paris Figaro gises the following
details Of an extraordinary robbery of
jewelry:
"A Partisan commission merchant NJ.
Cohn, had purchased aquantity of jewelry
for London houses to the value of 10000
On the evening of his departure for Lon
don he dincd with number of his clerks,
who accompanied him to the station,
where he got into an empty compartment
of the train which was to take him to
Calais. Some minutes later four persons
entered the carriage, and, although he
would have preferred to be alone, finding
there was no time for change, he engaged
in conversation with them, at the same
time keeping his hand on The travelling
bag which contained his yaluables. On
arriving NJ Calais, the strangers diSap-
pcared. NJ. Cohn proceeded on board
the boat. lie was Immediately Joined by
person whom he recognized as one of
his fellOw-trayelers IN the train, and who,
after short discussion on the evils of
sCa-sickneSs, offered him cigar, which
he refused. His interiocutor, however,
was very pressing, and rendered a case of
what he called real Havauas, which Mr..
COhn believes now, although he did not
specially notice at the time, was not the
same as the stranger himself had. In the
end Mr.. Cuhn took cigar, and lighted

to get rid of the accumulation when
large portion OF its most valuable con-
stituents have been dissipated It is,
therefore, money in the pocket Ct every
farmer TO haul it at his earliest convent
ence, that its value may be conserved.
One of the principal reasons against
the hauling of manure in winter is the
the opinion, not thoroughly well.founded,
That the rains of the winter and spring
will wash the more soluble parts entirely
away. The observing farmer, however,
probably will have noticed that, when
placed i'll piles and allowed to remain
during the summer months, the increased
vegetation will show but short distance
about the piles. The fact is that, except
on very tenacious soils or steep hil-sides,
the effect is observable but for short
distance. Calculations must be made
not to spread next the bottom Of declivi-
ties where the inclination is steep For
tunately, there are but few situations in
the West where it is necessary to cult
vate such lands.
When manure is hauled on meadows or
pastures, it should be spread as evenly as
possible directly from the wagon or Sled,
and the frozen chunks broken uD and
thereafter. We advise the application of
manure to grass whenever possible, in
preference TO other crops; for plenty of
grass and hay and plenty of stock makes
rich farmers in any country. When the
meadow is broken for succeeding crops,
the rood results are always seen.
IL the application Of manure we should
not advise heavy spreading on meadows
unless the supply were ample. A light
covering will be sufficient toprevent serious
alternate freezing ana thawing, and this
is what does the mischief either to young
meadows or young wheat Better cover
all lightly than portion heavily and the
balance not at all. II there is not ma
nure enough for all, however, cover the
weaker places and leave the stronger por-
tons to take care of themselves.
There is one consideration in hauling
and spreading manure in winter which it
is perhaps unnecessary to mention Man
ures should not be placed in swales and
low places where water runs. The fer
tilizing properties of the portion so placed
may be washed away; bnt here again, not
to so great degree as is often supposed.
Unless the current be strong and confined
to narrow channel, the iertiliZjng pro-
pertie of the manure will be gradually
given up to the soil and grass over which
it extends. These facts are weIl-known
TO those conversant with the processes Of
irrigation but are not so wen understood
by the general farmer who has not had
experience in these matters.
When the water falls on the surface as
rain, and does not flow over the surface
the soluble manure, taken up by the drops
as they fall, is Immediately given up again
to the soil through which it percolates or
saturates as it slowly runs along; fer,
though water is the universal solvent, it
gives up the constituents again as freely
as it has received them. Hence, the eX-
uaordinary lertilizing properties ofwater
in irrigation, which water, to the ordin-
airy sense, seems perfectly pure Western
Rural.
