The Woman Shooting Case In Wash
ingtOn.
Correspondence of the Baltimore SUM-

1nEtOus
CORRESPONDENCE of the Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, December 80, 1S73.-An
inquest was held to-day upon the body
of Katrina He'll, shot yesterday evening by
her husband, Michael He'll, at bis house, on
Delaware avenue between / and K streets
northwest, as reported yesterday. The facts
developed from the testimony before the
coronel's jury was to the effect that Sam and
Dick Ward and James Moore, three roughs,
living in the vicinity of HELPS house, started
short time before the shooting to make O
raid upon HeiPs bar. His little son, obtain.
ing information of what was intended, ran
and told his father, who had by the time the
rougbs arrived removed from outside the
bar all the spittoons, pitchers, &C., that
might be used as missiles.
Upon entering, the roughs demanded
LIQUOR, but Mrs. He'll, who was accustomed
to attend bar, her husband being sickly,
weak man, told them they had liquor
enough; they had no money and should
have no liquor there. They thereupon made
an attack upon her, following her into a
back room, and began to beat her. She cried
for help, and her husband seized a double
barrel shotgun which stood behind the bar
and fred into the crowd. The shot, missing
the objects aimed at, struck his wife, who,
fleeing from her assailanis, ran in front OF
the gun just as it was discharged, and re-
ceiving the whole contents in the back OF
her head fell dead, her blood streaming upon
the floor.
The roughs then ran. He'll discharged at
them the other barrel Of bis gun, slightly
woundiug Dick Ward. He then surrendered
himself, heart-broken man, to the authori-
ties. The jury, after bearing the evidence,
returned a verdict of2death from an acci-
dental shot inflicted by her husband while
defending her from attack. -
Hell, who has been in custody at the sta
tion-house since last night, was discharged.
The Ward brothers and Moore were also
arrested last night, and Moore was discharged
this morning, it appearing that he took no
active part in the attack on Mrs. He'll.

might be postponed indefinitely. Mr.. Cush.
ing is awaiting with much interest the action
of the Cortes, which will meet Oh Friday
next, and if CASTELAR,, as is now rumored,
snail have majority With him, be an

marked, however, that nothing could now
be counted on with regard to Spanish
affairs for any length of time. In addition
to the uprising and unsettled condition Of
the populace Of Madrid, requiring the con-
tinued watchfulness of the Government,
there were four civil wars raging, the Com.
mune uprising at Cartagena, the Carlist
movement, the Cuban insurrectioD, and the
practical INSTRUMENTATION OF the volunteers,
the latter being the most difficult of all to
manage. If CASTELAR, has not the support of
the Cortes lie will be powerless.

To Kill Weeds Cheaply.

There are very few gardens, the soil Of
which has not been allowed to become fill
ed more or less with the seeds Of weeds.
When crops spring up, the weeds spring
up with them. If numerous, the weeds
get above the crops hard work At hoeing
and laborious finger wedding follow. The
crops are overborne and become small.
Elack-aches and discouragements are de-
seeding another year.
With industrious gardeners, who take
time by the forelock, much Of this trouble
and less are prevented by destroying the
weeds when very small. When only half
an inch high, the bulk Of 4 weed II not .
hundredth part as great as when six inches
high. II has not yet drawn n hundredth
part as much on the crop as on the soil.
A single movement OF a steel rake at this
hour will Kill fifty weeds; but when they
grow six inches high the rake will do moth
ing, and the hoe must be ground sharp
and applied with many hard strokes.
There is a better way still. Kill the
weeds broadcast just as they are coming
up. The main thing Is TO do this night.
The seeds of nearly all garden seeds are
small. Now, get your ground or beds all
ready TO plant, but do not plant yes. A
little warm weather will start all the seeds
for abou: an inch down; and AS soon -
you see the first green or yellow point
peeping up through the black mould, then
il the time for action. DO not wait till
next day nor till afternoon, for they will
spring up amazingly fast.
Take your steel rake AMI 70 over the
surface two inches down, rsking and cross
rakIng, till you have torn down all the del
icete little plants to- fragments. Now
then, there is a pretty fair chance for 4
clean surface, for very few that are deeper
than two inches will & et up to the light.
would be safer however. ifyou can afford,
the time. to wait few days. and give your
beds q second raking. Ii your soil Is
good, you will 20 over 1t thus with great
rapidity-twenty times faster than after
sowing of the crops, and you will pulver-
fze the soil admirably. The few days de-
Law will be more than made up BY the clean
surface, freedom from choking weeds, and
by the vigorous crops Country Gentle

SALT FOR SToCK.-While a certain
amount Of salt Is absolutely necessary for
the health Of stock. 1t BY no means follows
that Its indiscriminste use is either needfui
or safe. On the contrary salt used in excess.
i've quantities is dangerous. Ii then acts up
on the stomach and intestines a. AN irritant
poison. and cases OF death have occurred
through permitting cattle and hogs to con-
sumo too much of IL. When stock are al
lowed free access to 1t they will take .
small quantity very often, but II denied a
frequent supply they become ravenous for
it. and are in danger Of eating 1t to excess.
The safest way is to use a small quantity
Regularly in the food, quarter of an ounce
daily being amply sufficient for COW.
and fourth Of that Quantity for q hog or q
sheep. II stock are sslted once q week no
more than one ounce At a time should be
given to n COW, and quarter Of an ounce
to sheep or hog. 1t should be given iu
such 3 manner that no one animal should
eat more than its share. l: may be given
scattered thinly In the feeding trough
with more safety than In any other way
excepting when 1t is mixed with the feed
Regularity In It's use is the most conducive
TO the health OF the cattle. We 6sd t nee.
essary TO give this caution because some
of our readers have been led 70 su pos..
very enormously. that Jas salt is good
thing. and stock cannot have too much Of

SETTING HENs LATE-Th-re are several
advantages Ia setting heus late. say the
middle or last Of June. With our back
ward springs 1t Is very difficult to hatch
chickens early enough for them To iiay the
following autumn; and il they do not com
mence then they will lay no earlier 10 the
spring, In our experience. than those
hatched two or three month, later. which
gives two or three months feeding in favor
OF the late Matched ones.
Also. M Re eggs are surer TO hsich when
set in warm weather: a nest OF dry earth
in some retired nook, covered by faithful
hen. seldom fail TO bring forth a numerous
dock OF chicks. II the garden is forward
enough the young chickens can be allow
ed 10 run in it with profit to both. Their
growth Is more rapid than the early ones.
SO much SO that they seldom fail to attain
equal size with the early ones by the next
spring. One objection Is that those to be
Killed In the fall for the market will not
be As profitable as the early ones, but we
think IL debt and credit was kept with each
. pair Of two or three pound June chickens
would return more interest on the money
invested than an equal number Of three OF
four pound April-hatched ones.
