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 il 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, filled
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 doin'l Lemme go, 1 tell
you"
But he exerted his strength, and sent
her "kerchuck" below the surface again.
She emerged, clawing the air wildly and
shouting:
"G'way from here! Don't you chuck
me under agin, you niger"
But the clergyman was memorable, and
he plunged her under a third time, and
held her there for minute, so as to let
il 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:
"Oh, I'll fix you L bust the head

A Youthful ElOpement.

A little girl whose parents live i'll New
York city, and are visiting the Rev. Mr.
Kelly, of Monticello, n. Y, recently be-
came homesick, and asked little Frank,
Mr.. Kelly's SOD, to take her home. The
little pair were aged and respectively.
The manly little fellow assented to his
cousins proposition, and packing their
clothing in a satchel they started down
the Monticello railroad on foot for New
York. To avoid attention tEey started
IN their everyday clothes and changed
their attire after getting short way ont
of town. Their joint capital for the
journey was fifteen cents. Together
they trudged hopefully and bravely
along until the afternoon train overlook
them at HARDWOOD, they having walked
nine miles of the 1913 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 T. the
Rev. Mr.. Kelly to quiet apprehensions
at that end of the line. The venture
some couple were returned to Monticello
the same evening.-Ne,O York SIN.

THE Hour OF OEATH.-A great ma
iority of all deaths occur before noon.
Deaths from chronic diseases are more
numerous between the hours of s 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 liz
most active.

The DRESSED WEIGHT OF ANIMALS
Farmers, who have had but little expert
ence ia feeding animals for the market,
are often disappointed because their
beef and pork does not weigh as much
as they thought it would. They are
likely to overlook certain points which
ought always to be taken into account
when estimating the dress weight of
animals. 1. Age. An old animal will
not dress as much in proportion to its
looks as young and growing one. q
2. The degree of fatness. A creature
well fattened will weigh a great deal
more than one equally as large, but
which has not been well fattened. 3.
Amount of grain which has been fed.
An animal which has had twenty or
thirty bushels of meal will dress much
heavier than one which was in equally
good order when the fattening was COM
menced, and which may look equally
well when it is finished, but which has
been fed only half as much meal. 4.
Length of time in which grain has been
fed. A creature which has been mealed
for five or six months will weigh more
than one which has had about the same
quantity of meal, but which has been
fed only about half as long. In all cases
liberal and long continued feeding is es-
sential to the attainment of any great
success in fattening animals of any kind.

For potatoes and corn, hog manure
which contains plenty of well rotted corn
cobs is one of the best things ever used.
Cobs contain great deal of potash, and
are extremely useful on soils which are
deficient in that material. On almost all
kinds of land, and for all farm crops,
they are much more valuable than is
usually thought, and ought to be care
fully saved and used for manure.
In raising tomatoes for profit plant in
rows four feet apart, alternating with

the tomato plants in a seed bed, then set
them in cold bed and let them get

The average longevity of lawyers, it is
generally conceded by the statisticians,
is greater than that of any other profess
sion or class. The New York World
gives some forcible instances which are
extant of intellectual strength and clear
ness prolonged to an advanced age con-
nected with eminent lawyers: "Isocrates
lived more than hundred years. Cicero
dwells delightfully."- upon the old barris-
ters of his time, telling how Cethegus
was studying oratory at eighty, and L.
Crassus searching. out the civil law at
the same age. The French Chancellor
Teller studied logic in order to carry
on burlesque controversies in barbara
with his grandchildren. Brougham, one
of the chancellors of England, was
ninety-four when he died; Lord Eldon
and Mansfield both touched ninety; and,
if we mistake not, Beryer did SO too.
In this country, John Adams survived
to be ninety-one, Charles Carroll lived
to the age of ninety-five, Kent was
eighty-four, John Pickering eighty four,
Jefferson eighty-three, Madison eighty
five, John Jay eighty-four, John Quincy
Adams (who should not be classed
among lawyers, however), eighty-one,

age Chief Justice Taney exceeded by
seven years,
