A Terrible Death

Augustus Catvinkle, Of Salisbury,
Herkimer county, New York, left his
home last week 10 look at some tim
Der land, several miles distant He
became lost, and while crossing a
creek, broke through. He pulled of
his boots to empty the water, and
they froze 30 hard be could not get
them on again. He then erawled
for a long distance on bis hands and
knees in search Of some refuge from
the penetrating atmosphere, but
death put an end to his suferings, and
when found be was in that position.

Destroying bank Notes.

The new system was adopted on
January lst, for the destruction of
the national bank notes redeemed by
the Comptroller of the Currency.
Heretofore it has been the custom at
Washington to destroy the notes by
fire, thus wasting large quantity Of
material from which the bank notes
are made. Workmen are now en-
gagged at the national capital in erect
ing machinery for the purpose of re-
ducing the notes to pulp, by chem
ical process extracting from the pulp
all impurities that it may have ac-
quired in printing, circulation, ETC.
In this manner the United States
bonds and spoiled note sheets have
been treated for some time past, and
large amount Of valuable material
has thus been saved. The destruc-
tion Of circulating national bank
notes by FIRE has been so large that
it was deemed advisable TO try the
same system with them, and it is ex-
pected to realize large profit. The
pulp thus saved will again be made
over into new bank notes, etc. The
Comptroller of the Currency has also
adopted a plan of numbering every
note of issue with the designation
number of the specific national bank
by which it was issued, in order to
expedite the sorting Of such notes
when redeemed by the Comptroller.
The clerks in the Comptroller's Of6ce
at Washington have no occasion to
read the name of the hank from the
note, but can sort them numerically,
without the possibility Of charging
the notes of one bank to the account
Of another 1t is expected that a
large saving viii be effected by this
system, as well as preventing error
through the similarity Of the notes.

Manure Against BuIIdInEs-

A correspondent to the Country
Gentleman writes: Manure Is q most
destructive material when it comes
in contact with woodwork Of any
kind. 1t is often difficult, however,
to avoid piling it against buildings
beneath stable windows, where it is
certain to cause decay in the weath0r
boarding and sill, but unless some
preeaution is taken, even if itTeDains
but short time, the effect will be
destructive. It's possible to prevent
this injury to the building, although
injury is inevitable if the manure is
allowed to remain in direct contact
with it. 1t is simply necessary to
provide q passage for air between the
manure and the building, az manure
never causes decay in wood unless it
touches it By mailing light scant-
ling horizontally to the building, i'm
mediately beneath the stable win
dows, also in the same position at
the bottom of the sill, and mailing
boards upon them perpendieularly, as
in tight board fence, a passage for
air is produced, which will prevent
all injury to the building. Old
boards, if sound, will answer. 1t is
questionable indeed if in this case the
manure will not act as preservative,
as it is a powerful absorbent of wa
ter, and attracts moisture from all
substances around it. Even if decay
has already commenced this precau-
ton will prevent further action.

BE NOT The FIRST.

Oh! be not the first 10 discover
A blot on the fame Of a friend;
\ flaw in the faith OF another
Whose heart may prove true in the en'
\ smile OF a sigh may awaken
Suspicion most false and undue,
And thus our belief may be shaken
In hearts that are honest and true.
How often the light smile Of gladness
Is worn by the friend that We meet
To cover soul full Of sadness,
Too proud to acknowledge defeat.
How often the friends we hold deares,
Their noblest emotions conceal,
And besoms the purest, sincerest,
Have secrets they cannot reveal
Leave base minds to harbor suspicion,
And small ones TO trace out deis4ti
Let ours be a n0bler ambition,
For base is the mind that suspects.

Horticultural Hints.

During this month, August, the grass
on lawns should not be cut very close,
as if so done, it Is liable to burn and
dry the roots and the spaces to I'LL with
false and wild grasses. Those who are
about to make new lawns for another
year should now commence the labor
Of trenching or blowing, or subsoil
plowing very deep. The lawn should
be made and allowed to settle week
or two, or during two or three good
rains before sowing the seed and level
ing up, and the seed should be sown as
early as the SEASON. of cool nights and
frequent rains comes on. Some writers
advise the use of grains, as rye, oats,
etc, to be sown with the grass seed;
but, as according to the general law,
the stronger overpowers and gradually
destroys the weaker, we have found
the use of any coarse grain injurious
rather beneneficial. In the making of
lawns we have at times had the hand
ling of very light sandy soil, and when
compelled to do the best we could
without aid from top dressing, etc, we
have used oats in the fall, for the pur-
pose, of holding it from blowing, and
have made our second so wing Of seed
after the oats had grown an inch or so

The ExcursiOuisfs.

The distinguished travellers that arrived
in our city during the latter part of last week
with the intention of pursuing their Jour
ney to the City of Mexico suddenly came to
a halt on Sunday last and changed their
programme. 1t was determined that the
excursiOnists would divide into three
parties and pursue different routes in search
of pleasure.
Senators Anthony, Cameron, Patterson
and Others left on the steamer Dispatch, on
Sunday morning, for Florida. From thence
they will proceed home by rail.
Colonel Thorn as A. Scott and party, con.
sisting OF Mr.. Scott, Ben Perley Poore and
daughter, Governor Joseph E. Brown and
wife, and others, took passage on the
steamer City of Havana, which vessel
sailed also on Sunday morning for Vera
Cruz, whence they will proceed to the City
Of Mexico by rail.
1t is understood that Colonel Scott's
main object in making this trip is to ex-
amino the workmanship of the railroad,
cars. and engines between Vera Cruz and
Mexico. 1t is said to be superior to any
thing in this country; and being the resnlt
Of English labor, he is anxious to test the
truth of it's superiority by person al in
spection.
The remainder of the excursion pa rty,
consisting Of Senator Morton and wife. left
last evening by way of the jackson rail-
'oad, for their home in Indianapolis.

Quick Time, ,

Captain Freeman naturally rushes into
print after reading the following "brevity"
in the Times:
The revenue cutter John A. Dix started
down the river Yesterday half hour in
advance of the Dispatch, but was passed
by that clipper before she had proceeded
ten miles.
Every commander is willing to cOncede
superiority when fairly won, but exceed
ingly jealous when the just claims of his
own vessel are in question. If the Dispatch
were slow vessel Captain Freeman would
probably care nothing about any comparison
between her and his own beautiful cutter,
But as she is reckoned one Of the fleetest,
he is properly jealous, and the remem-
brance of the unequaled time the Dix
made once, when carrying greater bal
last of congressional dead weight, makes
him send the following communication:

Departure of Senator Morton.

Senator Morton and wife left last evening
| by way of the jackson railroad and Louis.

They were accompanied to the railroad
depot by Governor Kellogg and wife. A
| number of other friends were there to bid
the distinguished Senator and his lady
goodbye and pleasant journey home
Among them were Senator West, Marshal
Packard and Postmaster Ringgold.
Through the kindness of Colonel Tom
Scott, Senator Morton and family were pro.
vided with the personal car of Colonel
Scott, which embraces all the advantages of

and from there will proceed to Houston,
Texas, to await the arrival of Colonel Scott
and party who expect to return to their
home in Pennsylvania by the way of St.
Louis after the Colonel has taken a look at
the progress made on the Texas Pacific
railroad, of which he is President.
The departure of Senator Morton was

Amusements.

At the st. Charles Theatre last night the
Soldene Opera Troupe repeated mime. An
got's Daughter" to a crowded house, and
the prospects are that there will be no
falling Oft in the business Of the week. Each
night brings more ladies to the performance,
and they now seek seats in the parquette.
The reason for this unusual patronage is
found in the excellence of the entertain
ment throughout. No travelling company has
ever appeared here SO complete in organiza-
ton for the pieces performed, so generally
talented. and carrying such magnificent
wardrobe. As Nile. Lang, Miss Soldene
shows her dramatic ability more strongly
in the several DISCUSSES than in any charac-
ter she assumes, and she is ably seconded
by Miss Robson as Ciai,ette Angot. The
opera itself is a glittering show of rich
costumes. comic and dramatic situations,
picturesque groupings, lively dialogue and
spirited music. 1t is to be enjoyed rather
than criticized. Tha opera bouffe of Paris
Is beyond reason and probability, having no
moral or sense; but it has show and sound.
pictures of people and the best of music.
For these qualities it has become popular in
England and America, as well as in it's
native France. ia File de Madame An.
got'' will be repeated again tonight.
At Grunewald Hall last night was given
grand concert BY Mile. lima De Murska
and the artists associated with her under
the management of Mr.. De Vivo. The hall
was entirely filled with the lovers of fine
music, and the wonderful songstress has
never appeared to better advantage. The
piece OF the evening which elected most
applause was the singing of the music of
the mad scene for Ophelia from Thomas
opera OF Hamlet" There was lacking the
orchestra, the characters and chorus of
grand opera, but nothing was wanting in
the voice of Mile. De Murska, and all could
imagine what effects she could produce
when playing the part of Ophczia in
costume and with the accessories of opera
There was the flute like tones running the
gamut of passion and despair, the ringing,
wild laugh, the trills of voice playing with |
the highest notes of written music, and
with no more apparent effort than |
40 oAHioileu ny Ulru opening
its mouth to set music free. This is Mile. |
DE Murska's secret of success She kas |
been severely trained, and yet she is a |
natural singer. The years she has spent to |
perfect herself in the execution of |
difficult music are not thought of |
by the listener when she sings. Her
voice was called phenomenal when she
was simple girl in her native land.
She has the same voice now, but has
added to it the skill of the consummate
artist for its manag ement, and has become
still more wonderful. She is gifted and
trained vocalist, with but few equals.
On Wednesday Mile. De Murska will
sing at matinee, repeating her selections
from "Hamlet"
