The use of carpetings may be traced to . very remote period, although as late as the time of Queen Mary, rushes and oth- CT coarse materials were used on the floors of her apartments. For many years Eu-

We are now producing in this country carpets of the same excel lence as those of foreign make. The Read Carpet Co. of Bridgeport, are said to make the best Ingrain Carpets that are sold in this Country. Messrs.

 EDrroB ENoUzRRR.-I have been looking over your notices to correspondents with speculative sye." but two obstacles seem to stand a little in the way-I don't quite know whether your s'local" will cover this ''narrow neck of woods" beyond the Mississippi; and your ''eounty" seems to need an m it 60 make 1t read right for me. If you win just print these two little items. you may place me in class four ; that looks safe and on the square.
 notice the rains have been sadly in. terfering with your ''hayings." With us it's always "harvests." Though great quantities of hay are cut it is of minor importance. and generally ''sandwiched' in between other crops. We have three varieties of hay common in the markets, called 'slough. !" ''upland," and ''tanae. |" The frat two ranging i'm prics from e to $S ton, and the latter from 910 to 4i4. It was cold and vet with m the early part of the season. when it was 90 hot and dry with you. and the weather has bean fine here while you have been having your heavy rains. Iwonder if the moon chan. ges her ''horns" to suit the different To. calities. as mentioned by your Marbledals correspondent. I have heard it suggested that it makes . difference whether the moon is viewed we'll up. or just as she is setting. and that one can be accommo- dated with almost any kind of weather he wants by timing his observations. At any rate. it's worth trying.
 I see the festive potato bug is paying you his compliments. We have had him bad. but he seems to be ''bird of pas. sage" Coming from the west he has been slowly making his way eastward, till he has reached the Atlsntie. May he soon find watery grave, or his shadow ever grow lessi There were but few specimens left with us this year. and we hope we have seen the last of him The result is a splendid crop of potatoes, that are . drug on the market at twenty cents . bushel. I believe it is generally conceded that the best way to ''doctor" them is by mixing Paris green in water and sprink- ling the vines. Your farmers may make a note of this the experiment is worth trying and they will be interested in the result.
 The wheat harvest in this great produ. cling country is considered below the sv. craze, except in Minnesota. Oats very large but bad secured. Corn, our great staple in Illinois and Iowa. ''never looked better" say the farmers it is late and we must have two or three weeks to ripen it, and late frosts are our forlorn hope. We had light frosts, last week. but it is now about as warm weather as we have had this summer. and the farmers are happy. Fruit and vegetables are won. derfully large and abundant.
 But enongh; if this. written on the ''spur of the moment" finds a place m your paper I shall consider that you have waived locality. and I am ''Gicksted" as an irregular correspondent. and. by look ing around little. may bs able to give you ''chaptsr of accidents" or some thing interesting in my aexk 4.

Polneroy No. 2.

California presents a mate for Jessie
Pomeroy in the person of Little Harry
Rogers. aged ten years. Harry has been rec
oonized as fend ever since hewas eight
years old, having developed at that early
period of his existence passion for tor
turing chickens by cutting them with
pieces of glass regardless of the wounds
he inflicted on himself by the operation
He next began to develop propensity
for biting and pinching children of ten
derer wears than himself, and in conse-
ouence thereof was expelled rom the
different schools in rapid succession.
His latest feat, and the one which attract
ed the attention of the courts to his case,
was inhumanly cutting and torturlng the
child of a man with whom he had been
placed to board. When discovered the
victim was found with his right ear
severed and nineteen distinct wounds
upon his person. Harry was sent home
and signalized his return by setting fire
to the window curtains and nearly de-
stroying the house. He is described as
presenting no peculiarities of appearance
and especially as lacking that full under
jaw supposed to indicate bloodthirsty
disposition. Without waiting for him to
murder anybody the authorities have
committed this youthful phenomenon to
the Industrial School, and propose that
any psychological study of his case shall
be conducted without jeopardy to the
lives and limbs of juvenile Callfornians.

Baptized by Mistake.

Some of our worthy colored brethren
of the Baptist persuasion had baptism
down at the creek, last Sunday, and the
ceremony attracted very large crowd
of people. Mrs. Pitman's colored SER
want girl was very anxious to be present,
and, as it was not her Sunday out, she
slipped away from the house while the
dinner was cooking, and went round in
her working clothes. Her interest was
so intense that she stood close to the
minister, who was in the water while the
ceremony proceeded. After six or seven
had been dipped, the clergyman, filed
with enthusiasm, seized her, and pulled
her into the water. She resisted, but
the minister imagined that she was
merely afraid of the GOODNESS of the
water, so before she could explain the
situation he soused her. She came up
sputtering, and exclaimed
"What you dom? Lemme go, tell
you!"
But he exerted his strength, and sent
her ''kerchuck" below the surface again.
She emerged, clawing the air wildly and
shouting:
"Gway from herei Don't you chuck
me under agin, you niger !"
But the clergyman was memorable, and
he plunged her under third time, and
held her there for minute, SO as to lei
it soak In and do her good. Then she
came up and struck for the shore, and
standing there, looking Like draggled
mermaid cut in ebony, she shook her fist
at the astonished pastor, and shrieked
ooh, I'll fix you! Z bust the hea6

A Youthful ElOpement.

A little girl whose parents live in New
York city, and are visiting the Rev. Mr..
Kelly, Of Monticello, N. Y. recently be-
came homesick, and asked little Frank,
Mr.. Kellys son, to take her home. The
little pair were aged s and 8 respectively.
The manly little fellow assented to his
cousins proposition, and packing their
clothing in satchel they started down
the Monticello railroad on foot for New
York. To avoid attention they started
IN their everyday clothes and changed
their attire after getting short way out
of town. Their joint capital for the
journey was fifteen cents. Together
they trudged hopefully and brayely
along until the afternoon train overlook
them at HARDWOOD, they having walked
nine miles of the 103 to New York.
Conductor Milbank, by questioning,
found out the nature of their enterprise,
and took them on his train. On reach
ing Port Jervis he telegraphed to the
Rev. Mr.. Kelly to quiet apprehensions
at that end of the line. The venture
some couple were returned to Monticello
the same evening. -NeaU York San.

THE Hour OF DEATH.-A great ma
iority of all deaths occur before noon.
Deaths from chronic diseases are more
numerous between the hours of and 10
in the morning, than any other time OF
the day, while they are fewest between
the hours of and 10 in the evening. In
the case of acute diseases, such as con-
tinued fevers, pneumonia, ETC., the
largest number of deaths take place
either in the early morning, when the
powers of life are at their lowest, or in
the afternoon, when acute disease is
most active.
