Farmers Cheap Fire-EXtin-
gWiSHRGr.


A solution of pearl-ash and water
thrown upon fire extinguished it
instantly. and by knowledge Of this
fact every one, and especially the
farmer, who is removed from the
benefits to be derived from water
works or fire engines, may make
himself a cheap, handy and efficient
fire-extinguisher with but little
trouble.
The proportions are four ounces
Of pearl-ash dissolved in only such
hot water as will thoroughly dis
solve it, and then reduced by mixing
with it bucket OF common water.
ANY quantity may be made upon the
same proportions.
10 prepare it for use for a farm
house, select a tight keg that will
hold several pals of water, and, ar
ter dissolving sufficient Of the pearl
ash as above indicated, pour the So
luton into the keg of water. The
keg should have an opening in the
top sufficiently large to allow the use
of common bucket in dipping up
the fluid with dexterity when wanted.
1t should also be furnished with a
close fitting, movable cover when
not in use. With such an arrange
ment at hand. scarcely one fire in a
hundred usually originating in a
farm house would withstand the ap.
plication Of this fluid if taken In
time. 1t is certainly efficient, cheap,
handy, and for his own protection
no farmer can we'll afford TO be with
out something Of the kind. Aside
from the power Of forcing the liquids

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The SUI

that a pardon by the Governor does
not restore TO a convict his eompe-
tency as a witness-that when once

final and for life. This is a decision
of much interest. and perhaps the
first one Of the kind ever rendered

The WOoLwIcH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ago
brief item appeared in the Bath Times stat
ing that Miss Ella Brookirgs, respectable
young lady of Woolwch. had mysteriously dis
appeared, and few days after the announce
ment was made that she had returned, giving
evidence of foul play. The sequel shows that
she was the victim of a well laid abduction
plot Her story is that little after o'clock
on the Friday evening while returning from
her aunt's, when near her own house, she was
confronted by man who remarked that he be-
lieved he had met her before, and then waved
handkerchief repeatedly over her face She
thinks the handkerchief was saturated with
chloroform, at any rate she lost her senses, and
when she recovered her consciousness found
herself locked in room, which she thinks was
in Bath. She was finally liberated by an elder
ly man, who thwarted the design of her cap
tors.
Miss Bookings had been waited upon by
young man by the name of Edward A. GRAY;
and sometime before the abduction she received
two letters both anonymous, the first dated
Bath, both purporting to come from woman
who claimed to be engaged to Gray, and warn
ing her against him. The second letter seems
to have been addressed to Gray, but somehow
came into Miss Brookngs' possession There

apduct Miss Bookings and carry her where

new panic, concluding that the tydrorhobia
