envy Of certain spIenetic advertisers of pnchbeck

stagnant, watery wares, by decrytng all spirituous
medicinal preparations, But the public can
stomach neither their arguments their pCta-

POlse-ROot for Destroying Insects.

d. F. @. Renner; of Frederick county,
Nd, writes to the department of agri-
culture that several years ago he col
lected some poke-root for medical pur-
poses, and hung It in various places
about the house to dry. After several
days he observed that there were many
cockroaches lying dead, and upon exam
lnation found they had been partaking
freely Of the. pOke-root. Some of the
root was placed near their haunts, and
the result was that it rid the premises
of those insects. Since then he has
communicated the remedy to others,
who have used it with satisfactory re-
suits.

How Eluch Timothy-seed to Sow.

A correspondent of the Rural World
writes SOW on good land one peck,
on poor land one and one-half to two
pecks, for the reason that on good land
the seed viii stool more, and if the seed
is good, and the land in good condi-
tion, good stand will be secured from
one peck, and the fist crop will not
have to be allowed to become dead-ripe
that the seed may scatter to help out
the stand that ought to be had from the
seeding. Many farmers practice this
Plan, but II Is poor economy. The lib
eral soWer viii reap literally. / there
fore would advise that seed enough be
sown at first, even if it takes two pecks
to the acre.

amiably as a trained horse. The colt
had never been bridled. He was attach

The break-lray is nothing more than a
strong broad-tread dray. with long shafts,
the tail omitted. and spring seat be-

to prevent the possibility Of high kick

from the dray that his heels could not

Of hitching was, oi course, very delicate,

MURDER.
Captain Tom Berry Killed BIZ Alex.
Marks, at Walnut Bend.

Special to the Appeal
HELENA, ARK, May Yesterday
at eleven o'clock in the morning Captain
Tom Berry, an cid and well-known
steamboatman, WAS shot and killed at
Walnut Bend landing, by Alex. Marks.
A previous difficulty had occurred be-
tween the parties. Yesterday they met
at Obenehainis store, when Marks drew
a pistol and demanded the retraction Of
some of Berry's remarks. The latter re-
fused to comply and cursed Marks, at the
same time attempting to draw his pistol.
Marks Immediately fred three shots at
Berry, all OF them taking effect ia the
breast. Berry fell to the floor and died
Immediately. Marks escaped in Berry's
skiff. The murderer is a native of Rich
mond, Virginia, fifty years old, over six
feet nigh, bald headed, and badly pock
marked. Captain Berry was, we be-
lieve, a Yirginian by birth, and about
forty-fiVe years of age. He was a pilot
in the New Orleans and st. Louis trade
for number of years, and was first
placed in command of the Memphis and
Vicksburg steamer ii. u. Mears, but since
the war was identified with the Memphis
and Arkansas river packets until the
death of his father, some two years ago,
when he quit the river and took charge
of his farm in Arkansas, Just below Aus
tin, Mississippi. he was good boat
man, aud universally liked by all who
knew him. The feud alluded 10 above
was Of long standing, Marks having
lived with Captain Berry some two years
ago; but the rupture which caused the
Iatter's death occurred last fall, ON the
steamer Cheek. Captain Berry took
occasion to use very harsh language to-
ward Marks, and being armed, Marks
offered no violence, but threatened to
punish Berry whenever the opportunity
offered. Notwithstanding they lived in
the same neighborhood, the meeting
never occurred until Friday, with the
fatal result as chronicled above. Cap
tain Berry leaves two sisters, one mar
ried and the other widow; and, If we
are not mistaken, there Is also brother

The house to-day passed Joint resolu-
ton thanking lion. w. w. Wiltshire,
member of congress from the third Ar
kansas district, for his manly stand in
behalf of Governor Baxter at Washing
ton. a resolution was offered in tue
senate, which was laid over till Monday,
raising committee of three TO inquire
whether any members of the senate have
been in armed rebellion to the State gov

Others where the officials have not come

Berry was elected permanent speaker
and Colonel G. G. Reed permanent

Lee Thompson, brigsdier-general in
the Brooks camp and a niember-elect of
the legislature, came into the house and
took his seat this evening. Other mem
bers, both of the senate and house, will
be in Monday.
The forces of Brooks have sur
rendered to-day. An agreement was
made by which General Newton, the
commanding general of Baxteris forces,
is to send home, without molestation,
all of Br0Oks's men. The State arms
are to be left in the State srmory-the
men to retain their side-arms. General
Newton will disband his force as rapidly
as the public peace will Justify. Two
hundred of Brooks's men leave for above
on steamboat tonight. The Others
will follow as rapidly as possible. Five
hundred guns at Pine Bluff;
one hundred at Augusta; another
hundred at Newport and Fulton were
fired last night in honor of Governor
BaXter's triumph. David Urnest, Bax-
ter soldier was killed last night by the
accidental discharge of a pistol. The
