How TO RAISE CHIcKENs.-My
p ractice in raising chickens is, to take
them from the hen, then dig up the soil
aud place the coop on the fresh dirt,
then put the chickens back, and the hen
will roll in the dust and get the lice off
much better than on grass land. I have
tried both ways, and 6ud the fresh dirt
much the best for the health of the hen
and chickens. In some instances T have
used hogs lard for greasing the hens
wings and the head of the chick, think
ing it good way to kill lice. That
and the fresh dirt and the right kind Of
food have raised my chickens. The food
l give, till they are three or four weeks
DID, is Indian meal mixed with sour
milk. let it stand one day after being
mixed, then it will be fit for use, it beinA
swclled in the dish instead Of the crop,
otherwise it might result in death to the
chick, for [ have lost many By giving
raw meal before it was soaked aud
swellch properly. After they have been
cooped up few days, | let them out to
take tho air, but shut thom up nights aud
rainy days, for chickens cannot endure
very wet weathor.- Cor. ". e.. Farmer.

in that city. A list OF
many Of them being murder, Committed
duriug the months of November and
December, has been published. None
Of the victims are rich, ani most Of
acm belong to the poorest class. Thus,
workman was murdered for twenty
tl,alers, widow for small sum OF
money which she had about her; cigar
merchant was stabbed for 500 thalers.
aud SO on. Some Of these crimes, too,
were committed in broad daylight.
They are not the work Of practioe&
hands, but Of an ignorant, brutal class,
demoralized by war aud military lifo,
ant. driven by misery TO adopt murder
as profession. The police, meanwhile,
appear to DO nothing to protect tho
public. Some half dozen Of these MUIR
dcls have been .oomuittrd during the
last two months, but only in one case
has the murderer been discovered.

having accomplished her mission. At
ten O'Clock Father Drisosll, Roman
Catholic priest, entered the prisoners
cell, followed by the latter's friends.
The priest read tho burial service of the
Church, but did not administer sacra
ment, as he did not believe Waltz was
in fit state Of mind to receive it.
When the funeral service was over, the
prisoners arms were stoutly pinione d I,
and tho procession was formed for tho
march to the seaffold, which was erected
in tho northeast corner of the upper
floor of tho Jail. Father Driscoll led tho
way: then came Sheriff Coonley with
Waltz, aud Constable Witoomb aud the
jury who had pronounced the verdict on
the doomed man brought up tho rear.
The moose was at once adjusted On tho
prisoners neck. After the usual pre-
liminary ceremonies Of reading the death
warrant, and prayer by Father Driscoll,
the prisoner was asked if he had any
thing to say. There was no response.
A shudder Of horror at this instant
secmed to pass through the frames of
all present, for, as some said, they fel.
that they were about to see lunatic
hanged. But at tho thought of tho
keeper, Charles Ernest, who lay uu
conscious in au adjoining room from
injuries received at :, altz's hands, the
feeling of sympathy which had been
momentarily excited spent ITSELF The
black cap was then pulled over the face
of tho doomed man, who gave not the
sligh test indication of consciousness of
tho proceedings, and then, at 10:16 the
fatal cord was pulled. At the rsooil Of
the body, the moose slippei round to tho
back of tho head. Apparently, there
was little suffering, for after two or three
convulsive contractions Of the fingers,
the whole fraue hung motionlcss.
In fourteen min utcs tho body was cut
down. Just before this was done
nnssim y aitA, tho fstiior OF oseph,
who was present. and, with deep emo
ton, pointing at the dangling remains
Of his son, "Can anybody who looked
upon that body say he was not insane I
Shortly after the body Of Waltz had
been cat down, six physiciaus entered
his cell and proceeded to hold post
a,ortem examination. They found the
neck broken. They then trcpannoi his
skull, and ca examining the brain found
it to weigh City four ouaces, half
ounce heavier thau that Of Daniel
Webster, aud fourteen ounces heavier
thaa the average brain of human
being All the organs were in healthy
condition, aud the intellectual faculties
were largely developed The physoian
could discover nothing to indicate
insauity. After the examination had
been completed the brain was placed i'll
liquor and will be taken to Albany to
undergo examination by experts of that
city.

Ernest, the officer who was assaulted by
Waltz, was alive at one clock this after
noon, aud was removed to his residence.
Tho body of Waltz was buried on the
farm last night, the only persons in
attendance being the father, mother,
sister and laborer.
The brain of Waltz was sent Albany
to-day for scientific examination.

The Upright Piano.

The Upright Piano is, from its small,
compact form and handsome exterior
especially suited to the boudoir, the recep-
ton room, and the parlors Of many
houses where Grand or Square Piano
could not conveniently be placed.
MessrS. Stcinway II Sons have, after
long and earnest study and experiments,
succeeded in producing Upright Piano
fortcs which are the most perfect instru-
mcnts of their class ever constructed.
The volume of tone is fully equal to any
of Stcinway's best Grand Square Pianos,
while the quality is of the most exquisite
musical charactcr-pure, sympathetic,
and in the highest degree pliable. The
durability of these new Upright Pianos,
and their capacity of standing in tune,
is unparalleled in the history Of Piano
making, and even greater than that of
the best Grand and Square Pianos.
Too much can not be SAID in favor Of
these Upright Pianos; in fact, they must
be seen and heard to be appreciated An
immense demand has already sprung up
for these instruments, which are rapidly
becoming the American Home Pianos
Of the future.
A full assortment of Steinway Upright
Pianos kept constantly on hand at tn"
Sole Agency, Adams Il Lucas, 1927 Mar

The ORPHANS FEsTIvAL.-Therc was
large attendance at the Orphans Fair
and Festival ut Washington Hall lust
night, and those present seemed very
liberal in squandcring their wealth for
chances in the various articles
offered to be disposed Of in that
WAY. rs we'll as INDUCING in
rcfrcshmcnt &C. nj Hbitm. Most of
the fancy articles, cakes, &c, were sold,
but there were something's left on the
hands of those having the affair in
charge, but they will no doubt be dis
posed of to advantage hereafter. Among
these was the ladies gold watch, a sul
fcient number of chances not having
been taken to justify its disposal last
night. Notice will be given hereafter at
what time the drawing will take place.
The luckicst individual in the hall last
night. was II. s. Gillespie who held No.
%, which drew the beautiful clock, val
ucd at S74. Mrs. Fisher, of the Eighth
ward, was lucky enough to get II hand
some chrome; William Mylcs, the pho
tographer, drew the play house, and
Miss Minnie Bosley, got the "lovcly
bride" large doll, for which several
young misses were warm contestants.
Altogether the Fair was complete
success, and though the pccuniary result
will not be rs great as it has been on
former occasions, it is very well, consider
ing the hard times and scarcity of money.
The press of matter and the late hour ut
which the festival closed, prevents us from
giving IL more extended account of the
closing scenes.

THE LOCKOUT COMPLETE.-Wc clip
the following from the Pittsburgh even
ing TelegrGph:
The hopes of the striking puddlers
that the manufacturers would not stand
together and would one by one succumb
to the demands of the puddlers, are, it
seems, not likely to he realized. 1t will
be remembered that the mills of Lewis,
Oliver u Philips, Lloyd II Son, and Dill
worth, Porter n Co., continued running
ut the old rate after the lockout, for the
purpose of filling special orders. On Sat
urday night these mills having completed
their orders, closed their pudding fur
naccs, and the lockout is complete. Car
ncgic, Holman X Co., the only mill now
in operation, is runninn on II speciality,
the manufacture Of bridge iron. The
prospects for resumption Of work now
looks less promising than at any time
since the lockout.
