AN INDIANA COUNTY RoMANCE.-A
young man named Yingling resides at Liver
more, Westmoreland county, and for some
time past has been employed at a planning
mill near the town of Indiana. Several
weeks ago he fell in love with lady who
makes her home near the latter place, and,
like n great many young men we know of,
he was not sure whether the tender passion
was reciprocated by the object of his atten-
tions. Recently he went home on visit,
and shorty afterward his employers received
letter, which was signed by Mr.. Speedy,
brother of Mr.. b. f. Speedy, of this place,
and which was written from Livermore.
This screed contained the mournful intel
ligence that Mr. Yingling had met with a
fatal accident while riding on n railroad
train between his home and Apollo, and
that the arrangements for his funeral had
been maGe.
Ii seems that the supposed victim of vio-
lent death had been member in good stand
ing of a lodge of knights of Pythias, in In
diana, and ut meeting of the organization
they determined to attend his obsequies in
a body. So, TO the number of twenty-six
they took passage for Livermore, and were
naturally surprised to MIR. Yingling
standing upon the platform, in full life, and
having no appearance of being ghost,
either An explanation was demanded, and
they were referred to Mr.. Speedy That
gentleman was found, and when the affair
was explained the surprise appeared to be
mutual, as he had no recollection whatever
OF having written any letter OF the klndr
The matter began to wear n somewhat
complicated appearance, and it was at length
concluded to hold another interview wit
the supposed corpse. After some little eva
sion he at length Acknowledged that the let
, ter had been written with his own hand,
and upon being pressed to explain why he
brought the whole delegation of knights
down TO that place, fully dressed ont in their
Iegalia, and ready to mourn the demise of a
brother in good standing, he was constrained
to confess that he wouldn't have done any
thing of the kind only that he desired to see
if his girl would come on to attend the fiji
neral. just about the time this ratheT,naive
confession was made he found il advisable
to flee from the wrath which was manifested
on the countenauccs of his brother knights,
and the chances are that if he had tarried
the corpse would have hecn furnished any
how. He has not made his appearance in
Liyermore since this affair occurred, and is
, doubtless pining away i'll anguish in some
lone retreat, for The facts, related to MS,
; are that the lady whom he expected TO arrive
Oh the first train did not make her appear
auce a. all, and he was given to understand
that she is engaged to another man. That
( is the whole story, as it came 20 us, and the
affair reads romantic enough for the con
structioa of dime noSel.-JO1HstoUp Tri-

UNLOCKING THE RoCKS.-The great cost
of silver and gold arises not so much from
their scarcity in the earth as the difficulty
of extracting them from their stony combi-
nations. DR.. j. G. Aver, the well known
chemist of Massachusetts, has cut this gor-
dian knot. After having merited aud re-
ceived the gratitude of half mankind by his
remedies that cure their diseases, he is now
winning the other half, 10y opening for them
an easy road to the eXh1usiless treasures of
the hills. He has discovered and published
n chemical process, which renders, at little
cost, the hardest rocks and ores friable like
chalk, so That the pTeci0nS metals are loosed

Mines too poor to pay, may be worked at n
profit now, and the yield of rich mines is

VINE CULTURE AND WINE MAKING
Mr.. Alfred Speer, of Passaic, y. j. so long
and favorably known as the wine man of New
Jersey, expects a larger yield of grapes this
year than usual, and has reduced the price
of his four year old port so as to bring it
within the reach of the poorer families who
need pure and rich wine for medicinal
purposes. Mr.. Speers mode of fermeniing
and keeping his wine differs from the usual
methods. This is the reason why it is 50
much superior in quality, butit requires four
years management and changing of tcmpera-
ture in order to make such a perfect fine
wine as it is the knowledge of changing to
various temperatures at different times and
at the right time, is where he has the advan-
tage of getting so rich n wine without the
use of liquor. Large quantities of Speer's
Port Grape wine have been ordered to South
America, and by Europeans. Physicians
recommend it as superior to most of the
European wines II is dealt in largely by

Ths Matter of Ventilation.

Lord Kinnaird in the course of long
letter to contemporary regarding the
ventilation of dwelling houses, says
"People imagine that, as foul air is light, il
lie only necessary to open hole in the
ceiling, or open a window at the top to al
low 1t to escape, and are surprised when
these openings are closed by the inmates,
TO feel cold air heating down on their
heads. The fact is that the foul air emitted
from the lungs Of the occupants of room
aecends while warm, but when cold it falls
to the ground. Any one taking ladder
and going to the top of room where a
number of people are sitting, would find
the yitiated air unbearable. A bird
could not live long in it. Where there is a
fire. place in q room, the fonl air ascends,
and it is then drawn up the chimney, so

Capabilities Of an Acre,

j. 81. Smith, market gardener of Green
Bay, furnishes the Horticaltarist somc in
tereeting statements of his experiments in
high culture. He has found the rule in
variable, not o single exception to it, that
the moro he has spent in cultivatipg and
manuring, the greater have been the net
profits per acre. Last season he cultivated
fourteen acres, and began with q more
thorough and expensive cultivation than
ever before. The result was that, although
there was terrific dronghtn-one of the
dryest seasons ever known in that region
after spending $3, 9s6, or 1884 per acre, he
had . better balances than any previous
year. He appears to regard constant Gull
tivation, especially through drought, in
coDnecsion with copious manuring, as all
important. Stable manure is the standard,
with such of superphosites, plaster, lime,
aches. and other manuies as experience
and good seuse may point ont. "After you
have learned to spend money to the best
advantage" he remarks ga larger profit
may be made by laying ont $500 per acre
than with less. After the second year, if
your land does not pay all its expenses,
