SEVERE ACCIDENT TO M. 7. BLAIR
MCCULLoH-We give below from the
Ne,cs of Thursday an account of mishap
which might have resulted very seriously to
one of our esteemed townsmen:
On Tuesday night Mr.. T, Blair McCull-
oh, of FrOstburg, postal clerk ON the Balti-
more and Ohio RailrOatt-route from
Washington to Grafton-was severely in
iurcd whilst the train which leaves Cum
bcrland at 1 .45 P. Nj. was passing lronton
station, near Grafton. The postal men
have habit, which they find necessary, OF
kicking out the mailbag with the right foot
at stations where the train does not stop
Just before the crane" which he operates
with his hand takes the stations mailbag
off the post or station" as it is called
1t was a dark night and the train running
very fast, and Mr. McCulloh got ready Il
half-me or so from lrOntOn to put off the
bag. Unfortunately he miscaCulatod the
distance, and kicked out just ms they reach
cd the station" when his foot struck the
post, and his leg received a blow and a
twist that nearly threw him from the car.
His handh hold, however, saved him from
falling out
Mr.. McCulloh's foot was badly bruised
and swcllcd fast. The swelling was CON
sidcrably reduced the same night at Grafton
by strong and repeated applications of ar.
MICA and other remedies His ankle was
spraincd. and the twist was so severe that
his whole leg is very sore, and several
times since he has had sudden shocks of pain
the whole length of the limb. The iniur
les though severe and painful are not con,
sidered dangerous. Mr.. McCulloh returned

Bottling Cider.

AN Old Hand at the Business" gives
his method in the American Artizan. as
follows: Ito have good bottled cider, it
is necessary first that care should be'taken
in its manufacture. Apples picked bv
hand and perfectly ripe and sound are es-
sential TO the best quality. They should
lie some time after picking They should
then be sorted, their surface wiped dry.
and all the rotten fruit rejected The cider
may then be made in the usual manner bv
grinding and pressing The cider should
then be stored in cool place to mature
After three or four months. it should be
racked Oft carefully, and then fined by
adding to each hogshead pound OF isin-
glass Innings. In two weeks from the time
that the Things are added it should be
again racked off, and if found sufficiently
clear and sparkling it is ready for bottling
if not, it should be again fined and allow
ed to stand two weeks Before bottling
the bung should be left out OF the casks
tor ten OF twelve hours 10 permit the es-
cape of carbonic acid gas The cider may
then be placed in bottles, and the corks
loosely placed in The bottles should then
be allowed to stand twenty-tour hours
The cOrks may then be driven in and wired
down. If the cOrls are driven in and wired
when the cider is first put into bottles
there will be great danger of breaking the
hotties by the accnmulating pressure ot
the gas. All additions Of tlavoring mate
rials are, in my opinion, a damage to cider
made from fine quality Of fruit, though
they may improve Juice oi' a poor quality

followed, Il delicious c.dcr will be pro

Sheep raising is undoubtedly looking
up. Wool brings satisfactory prices. Early
lambs are in brisk demand and the mar
ket would take a great many more We
can have mutton, at least in the winter,
and farmers look cheerful in view Of the
profits OF the flock at the end OF the year
The pastures, where the sheep have been
are blooming with white clover, and the
increase grass and the reduction Of brush
are strong points in favor Of sheep hus-
bandry. But the dogs still worry the tiocks
and kill the sheep, Notwithstanding the
legislation against them. Some Of the
States have good laws tor the protection
of sheep. The owners Of dogs have to
pay a license for every cur they keep. and
the money goes into a fund to pay for the
losses of sheep owners made by dogs.
This is a great security. 1t not only re-
duces the number ot dogs. but pays for
the damage they do. What is now most
wanted is the strict enforcement Of the
law where one exists Make every man
pay Tor his dog, and Kill the nnticenscd.

From the 81, Paul Press,


in Sunday mornings Press appeared Il
2ong article giving an acoount OF the ex-
periments OF j, B, Brown, the socalled
"mind-reader, before several Of the learn
ed faculty of Yale College. 10 say the
least, it is somewhat remarkable to see
Professors of Yale College undUly sur
prised by the performances Of Brown,
when performances of the very same some
W hat miraculous teats lies within the power
of almost any person Mind-readiug as
performed BY Mr. Brown. is but simple
parlor amusement, which can be shown
anv evening, when the proper conditions.
which are simple, are complied with.
illustrative OF this fact a little personal
experience may be detailed;
More than three months ago a Press re
porter spending the evening with party
of Young ladies and eeutlemea first saw
the same principle exhibited and tn very
same feat which Mr. Brown performed up
or his first experiment shown Young
LADY of the party was bl;udtoiied One Of
the party then took q small table mat and
carried it into another room, placing 1t on
stand. Returning, the lady bindfolded
took with her LETT hand the right hand Of
the person who had placed the mat in the
other room, and she placed her right hand
tor a few moments upon her companions
forehead After standing in this position
for very short time the tight hand was
removed from the forehead, and raising
the left hand Of her companion, still hold
ing it in her own, TO her forehead, she went
directly through intricate passage-ways TO
the verv article.
After this experiment the same was re-
peated with other members OF the party,
the articles each time being different and
placed in place unknown to the person
blindfolded The reporter was one of the
number who took the character OF the
blind goddess, tor the performance OF
two experiments After being blindtolded
and the article hidden he began the search
it, going directly to it at first, and un-
co. Scioas of his relative position in the
house, and believing he was still going
forward in straight line, he suddenly
came TO pause, and experienced the
strangest feeling he had ever known in his
life. 1t is hard to explain 1t, but IT was
more like endeavoring to fly, without
knowing how to beg in--a seeming effort
to 60 up after something, This sensation
is explained by the fact that the article
secreted had been placed some distance
