.-.su In Leesourg and kept cigar store, and his
daughter was engaged to be married to young
Riley. For some unexplained reason she, how
ever, married Albert Shinar few months
since. About the first OF August Riley sudden
Nv disappeared, and short time thereafter
Shalhorn and his family, including Shinar, the
son-in-law, left LeesbuTg giving out that they
were going TO New York to open business. 1t is
alleged that the officers of LOudOun county in
searching the premises discovered secreted in
barre, a suit or clothing similar to that worn
by Riley, saturated with blood, and IL IS
said that on the night OF the disappearance
loud cries Of "murderr were heard in the vi
entity of ShaihOrn's, andthat on the same night
a carriage was seen to drive up to his door, and
something being placed therein, it was driven
up the pike. inquiries were made by the
Virginia officers to discover the Whereabouts
of the suspected parties, Shalh0Tn and Shinar,
but without success, until few days ago.
| This morning, Sheriff W. F. Barrett came

STEEL PLowS.-A. B. Allen, of New
York, says: II would sooner pay double
the price for steel pluws than accept as a
gift the best set Of ca-t-iton plows to be
found in the United States. Though ever
80 hard chilled or smoothly polished, cast
board, in every kind Of soil. from a sandy
or grayelly up to heavy clay loam. The
dirt thus gathered on the mold rd adds
greatly to its draft AMI prevents good work.
order to get equal strength, the weight must
be considerably greater than with steel. and
this is hard drag all day, and requires
much stronger team. OF this any one may
quickly convince himself without resort to
dynamometer or any other means of testing
the daft. He has only 10 hitch light team
to a steel plow, and a stronger one to the
cast iron, and work them side BY side. In
this way l have found that n pair of four
teen-hand ponies would do about the same
work, and with as much ease to themselves,
as pair of sixteen-hand horses. The same
observations about material will also apply
to cultiyatorS. In thus candidly advising
my brother farmers in regard to the supe-
rior msrit of steel plows. am speaking di-
recty against my own individual interest,
for | have been manufacturer and dealer
in cast-iron plows for upward of thirty
Years past.

Our Cellars.

All the refuse of a house is stored in it's
cellar, therefore look TO your cellars occh-
sionally. Old boxes, bins and barrels, which
have contained vegetable matter, meat, fish,
etc need thorough overhauling. 1t is not
that standing in dark corner they look
empty; there may be enough poison left
sticking on the sides and bottom to a d. ct
the health of the household. This work of
cleansing is often left to the women and
boys of the family. A man had much bet
ter leave his work a day, to make a thor
ough examination and puriication of the
cellar, than to be unduly anxious about get
ting in his crops in extra season. After all
the garbage is carried out, let the ceilings
and walls be brushed with an old broom; if
this is done once month, the atmosphere
will be all the sweeter. Use plenty of
lime, and, in dry weather, keep the doors
and windows open a part of every day.
Old tin and wooden ware should be al
lowed to stand year after year upon the
cellar shelves If it is not fit to be used +,
throw it away. The cellar should be kept as
tidy as the rest of the house.

SHEEP AND TAPE WoRN-The Melbourne
(Australia) Leader, in relation to hydatids
in sheep, and the transformation from
thence into tape worms, says:
''The annual loss of young sheep through
becoming cranky is considerable, yet on
many, if not all, of the sheep stations, the
disease is actually propagated unwittingly.
When a cranky sheep is put out of its mis-
cry, its head is divided and thrown to the
dogs in an uncooked state Thus the hyda-
It'd in the sleeps brain becomes tape-worm
in dog. and in very short period of time
millions of tape-worm eggs pass from the
dog. and are drifted about by the wind and
are carried by water. For weeks and months
they retain their vitality, unaffected by heat
OF cold. rain or drought Sheep, in picking
up their food, or in drinking water out of
shallow pools or crab-hoies, swallow one or
more Of these eggs, which get into the blood
circul~tion, and thus to the brain, to form
hydatid and make another sheep cranky.
So the sheep and dog react on each other. :"

AGRICULTURAL A

How TO TREAT FRuIT-TREEs.-I consid-
ering the growth of organisms, the action
of the alkalies is to be looked upon as
scarcely les important than that of air and
water. Lime rs the great animal alkali, and
potash the vegetable one; ; its old name OF
vegetable alkali expressed that fact, and all
the potash of commerce is known to be de-
rived from wood ashes. The importance of
pot,sh as a manure has been frequently
overlooked by farmers, who rarely know the
large amount of this material found in grass,
grain crops, leaves, barn-yard manure,
roots, and fruits. How potash acts in
plants, in conjunction with carbon and sick,
to form woody fibre, starch, sugar, and oil,
is vet unknown to chemical observers; but
the fact of its action is beyond a doubt.
Liebig long since pointed out that the chief
caase Of barrenncSs Is the waste of potash
carried off by rich crops, especially tobacco,
with no re. Placement by proper manure.
How many millions of pounds OF potash
have been sent to Europe from tic forests
OF Amer lea, and in the grain, tpbaccO, and
hemp Luckily. one alkal may be replaced
by another, and we have received Con-
siderable quantity Of soda from European
sea-wced and in the shape of salt. Latterly,
nitrate of soda, from natural deposits in
Soith America, is brought to US at cheap
price.
Tie point to which we now cal attention
is that oar farmers and iruit-growefs have
ignored, or rather been ignorant OF, the inn
rf nj,
ulant, and as the leading constituent of
plants. Even coal ashes, now thrown away
as useless, have been shown, both by expert
ment and analysis, to possess n fair share
of alkaline value. According to our OBJ
servation, il the practice of putting mix
ture of cpai and wood ashes around the
stems Of fruit-trees and vines, particularly
early in the Spring, was followed as gem
eral rule, crops of apples, grapes,
! peaches. etc, would be greatly benefited
in both quality and quantity, and the trees
| and vines would last longer We will relate
only one experiment. Some twenty-five
years ago, we treated an old hollow pippin
apple-tree as follows: The hollow, to the
! height of eight feet, was flied and rammei
with compost of wood ashes, garden mold ,
and a little waste lime (carbJnatr). This
| filing was securely fastened in by boards.

truth OF his narrative in every p1ricuiar,
and we doubt not that the reader Will read
ilv credit it from the following specimen de-
scription of one of the chambers the party
entered. After journeying for a mile and
quarter through the underground passages,
Stokes and his party found themselves in
''long but rather narrow chamber, the walls
of which are nst limestone, but yellowish
brown and black iron ore. This chamber
beats Sinbad's magnetic mountain, which
drew the nails from his ship and thus caused
it to fall to pieces, all hollow. Listen to
Mr. Stokes -
Upon entering this chamber we noticed
a most peculiar disturbance of the magnet,
the needle constantly vibrating from side to
side, and frequently whirling around for a
minute at a time, with velocity which rem
dered it invisible. We also experienced
singular sensational sort of chill, appear
ing to commence at the back of the neck and
extending to the very tips of our fingers and
toes. As we advanced in this chamber we
found these singular sensations to increase
in intensity until it became almost unbeaga-
bic. We ventured on still further, however,
though it became evident that we could not
long remain in this mysterious place. |
omitted to mention that the walls and floor
of this chamber, especially particular rocks
therein, were highly magnetic. and became
more SO the further we advanced toward the
north.
lone of the party who carried hatchet
had it suddenly wreSted from him by Il mag

combined strength of four of us was insult

accidentally dropped to the floor, had to re-
main there, none of the party having sufic-
lent strength in his fingers to pick it up.

were filed with nails, could walk with diff

of the floor unusually magnetic, found
himself suddenly affixed thereto, and unable
to move lie was compelled to withdraw
his feet from his boots and leave them there,
tearing up his coat and wrapping the pieces
around his feet to protect them from being
cut by rocks. We had remained in this
chamber about ten minutes, when suddenly
the shilling sensation began to increase, the
feeling being as if a cold and piercing wind
was blowing upon us, and becoming each
moment intensely cold. We hastily retreat
ed, and soon reached, more dead than alive,
the large chamber containing the hot spring.
We then retraced our steps along the twine.
