and instead of going in and quietly
taking a seat, remain on the steps, or
in the vestibule, telling stories, doing

making remarks about teams, and the

laughing at or about ladies that are
alighting from or getting into car
riages, and indirectly insulting all
who may come or 60. And then you
have not breeding, decency, or civil
ty enough to go in when the minister
Or speaker arrives, but must wait long
enough to annoy minister and congre-
cation by shutting in, in the midst of
prayer, when if it were not for the
grace asked for, and already received,
the minister would feel like opening
his eyes and throwing hymn-boolI
at your head, and try to knock little
civility into you. And women, not
often, but always block the iaisles and
testibules, some to be seen in waiting
when leaving the church; but there is
no necessity when going, and in this
way some of the lads are kept back
from going in when they otherwise
would. Decencr and good breeding
would say to all, when you go to q

As we have nSw reached the mid
summer season, we are ut the turning
point as to favorable or unfavorable
result, with a large portion OF the
growing, or matured crops through
out the country. The wheat harvest
has been we'll begun, or completed in
large portion of the West, AMI
western papers speak favorably of the
crop as a whole, but feel much ankle
ty about the crop already harvested
and that which remains Uncut, on &C
count of the uncommonly rainy sea-
son, which it is feared will greatly
damage the whea: in the shock, and
for this reason the yield Of good
wheat remain uncertain. There has
beeh rati in abundance in about the
whole country, and crops of all kinds
are generally looking well. The hay
crop is abundant in cortaiH sections,
and failure Ill others. In Western
Massachusetts, and portions of New
York it is very poor, so much SO that
they are looking for a substitute fol
hay. The terribly cold winter was
severe on the grass roots, where they
were not protected by good quanti-
ty of snow. Farmers shout double
their diligence, and cut all that grows,
and cut it early, before the juices are
dried into wood, and the lusciousness
is out of it.

New York, July Is, lS75.-The fash
ionable part of Thirty-fourth street,
where reside many of the most wealthy
citizens of New York, was thrown into a
state of great excitement to-day by a ter
rible murder in a respectable family.
James Bailey, who is connected with the
New York Central and Hudson River Rail-
road Company, has resided for many
years, with his family, at No. 42l. His
family comprised wife, two sons and a
daughter. The oldest son, james Bailey,
had a quarrel with his father, in the house
and shot him in the breast, killing him
instantly.
After shooting the parricide ran out into
the street, and meeting policeman ex-
claimed: 81 have shot my father" The
policeman arrested him and walked back
with him to the house and into the room
where the murdered man lay. The sor
said: " Father and had difficulty about
letter. 1t was a letter which did not
want him to read, and which he persisted
in seeing" No one beside the father and
son was in the room when the shooting
occurred.
Mrs. Bailey, wife of the murdered man
was in an adjoining room, and heard the
pistol shot, but did not see her son fire it
The aespectability of all parties concern
ed makes this one of the most importan
PARTICLES that has ever occurred in Tho
city. 1t is q parallel to the murder o
Walworth by his son about two years

In early life--so carly that cannot
remember the removal-my father
"pulled up stakes" and carrying with
him the household goods, went from
Bourbon county, Kentucky, where |
was born, to Ohio. Notwithstanding
rough-and-tumble struggle with the
world, he had hard time to get on,
owning TO numerous and rapidly in
cressing family. Well, family mat
ters had not much improved when /
had reached my thirteenth or four
teenth year.
At this time there lived in the
neighborhood a young man named
Skinner. He had Inherited well stock
ed farm, was good looking. and made
strong profession of religion. This
latter qualification caused him to find
peculiar favor in the eyes of my faith.
er, who always was blinded by pro-
fessions of extra piety.
This fellow had strong "hanker.
ing" after one of my sisters, who was
very pretty girl. TO her he was
particularly distaseful She seemed
always excessively annoyed at his
presence. Yet he was ever at her
side. She dared not dismiss him en-
tirely, for fear of the paternal anger.
Things went on in this way for a year
or two, and as l partook largely of
my sisters hatred to him, resolved to
get rid of him in some way. / cast
about for plan for some time, but
nothing occurred which gave me the
slightest hope of being successful.
At last, returning home one summer
night from mill, l found the family at
their nightly devotions. Passing by
the windows of the room in which they
were assembled, | saw that Skinner
was there, and pretty soon discovered
that he was nodding, and finally his
head dropped. Now was my opportu-
nifty. | stole slyly into the hall, and
reaching the hall door, which was
slightly ajar, and close by which Skin.
ner was, 'on bended knee reached
in and quickly pulling his chair from
under him, he rolled heavily, as a
sound sleeper would, upon the floor.
The noise alarmed all. The old GER
tleman stopped in the midst of his al
most interminable prayer, and saw the
position of Skinner. All the family
laughed outright; even my mother
smiled.
Skinner tried to pick himself up as
rapidly as possible, but he touched the
old man upon his tenderest point. 1t
was evident, from his rubbing his eyes,
that he had slept under the old gen.
tleman's ministrations; and had not
my father a reputation far and wide
Tor the ferveney and strength of his
ministrations, and was not Skinner
his protesting brother? 1t was too
much. Slowly, yet most dignifedly
did the old man approach him. "Be-
gone, hypocrite" he cried in thunder
tones. "Never enter my house again.
Skinner was thunder struck. He
felt that he could make no apology
which would not add to the insult
lie had no suspicion of tho exterior
force which had so suddenly aided
him to fall. He at once found his hat
took up his line of march, and com
pletely crestfallen, passed by me as
stood grinning in the shadow of tn,
porch.
AT suitable time l entered, 90
my supper, and was told by my broth
er in hurried whispers what had hap
pened. then stole off to bed, affect
ing ignorance and laughing mos
heartily, as l ensconced myself in tn,
sheets, at the complete success of m,
plan.
