dental s shooting.
The Haas.Moore shooting case was up
before the Coroner again this morning.
Philomena Haas, the wife OF the, de-
ceased, Jacob Haas, was the only wit
ness called whose testimony was of any
Importance. She stated that the prisoner
and her husband had ALWAYS been the
best of friends, and up to the evening Of
the murder. she never had known them
to have any quarrel or falling out OF any
kind. On the evening of the shooting
both Moore and her husband were very
drunk, and had been for several days.
At the time of the accident she was in.
the yard with her two children and
only heard the shot, did not. see the
shooting, as Moore and. her hus-
band were alone in; the room.
After the hearing of several other wit.
nesses, the jury retired, and in a few
moments brought in the following YER
dict: "We, the jury, do find that the de-
ceased came to his death from pistol
ball, fired from pistol in, the hands Of
one Oliver Moore, and, we further fluid
from the testimony that the same was
done eaccidentally.

With their scanty savings In school
teaching they got possession of some bee
pastures, kept on teaching and extend

Hair Pulling at the Empire.
There were rumors afloat this morning
relative to a little fistic encounter be.
tween the notorious Buck Brady and the
Marshal of Covington at the Empire
saloon, butws learn, upon inquiry, that
the combatantswere two sports by the
name of Norton and Gallagher. The
dispute occurred about O'clock this
morning, and was "bossed" by Colonel
Eph Holland in propria persona, who
with characteristic instincts, "form'd a
ring" and allowed the gentleman, aha,
to chaw each others ears and exchange
compliments for about fifteen minutes
when lone or tother," it's hard to say
which, "squealed." They were then
taken from each others embrace, the
hair swept from the saloon. and peace
rest0red-only this, and nothing more.

SEAsONABLE HINTS FOR II FARM
In blowing one may make more haste
but get 6 less speed No plough should
be put in the ground that is wet. or when
he soil sticks to 4 bright steel mould
board. If water is seen in the furrow,
blowing should be stopped although the
surface may seem dry. The nearer plow-
lng and seeding can be brought together.
the better will it be for the crop. 1t will
be better to run two plows ~bv-and-by than
begin a dtv to soon. There is plenty OF
work to do before one begins To pow.
All farm implements, carts. and wagons.
should be carefully cverhauled. Look to
he bolts and nuts especially. Use the
'ock-nut bolt. which cannot get loose, upon
Ill lmpiimrn's. machines. and vehicles.
lean and oil al bearings and gearingS OF
machinery with the best sperm oil. Com
non ker sene oil AMI a bunch of cotton
'agS Is the best means of removing gum
md dirt. A few drops Of Kerosene put OF
| rnStv nut or screw. will often loosen it.
\ hot iron held for Il few minutes to II
ight nut. will loosen it by expanding it.
Castor oil is the best lubricator for wagons
md carriages. Use crude petroleum in
place of paint, upon all tools. plows. har-
rows, &c, and soak tie wood with it until
it. will take up no more. 1t is cheap, and
need not be spared. Oily rags will take
fire spontaneously in warm weather, and
should not be allowed to lie anywhere
about.
If Il full supply of seed has not been pro-
cured, no time should be lost. To loose n
week or two at seed time, because seed
men are crowded, or to 90 without scarce
seeds bpcauSp fine stock Is exhausted i n
loss of money. The best. freshest, and
-~leanest seed only should be used, THIS
sind costs more. but is much cheaper than
poor foul seed. \ change of seed is de
~irable. especially of such grain As peas.
oats. or wheat, which are attacked with
weevil, or deteri rate in weight in our
warm climate. These seeds should be
procured from more northern localities.
