KILLING WEEDs.-It is a great mis-
take TO cut of the tops of thistles, quack,
and other weeds whose roots are tena-
cious of life. Frequently this is done in
order 20 plow the whole more effectually;
but a iointer and chain to drag the weeds
down will generally effect the object.
When once turned under, the more top
there is attached to the roots the harder
the latter find it to start When we
transplant garden vegetables we thin
the tops severely to insure LIFE, and for
converse reason We should not do this
with weeds. This spring, we are ashamed
TO say, some nallows got rank growth
in corner of the garden before it was
plowed. The first thought was TO NOW
the weeds, in order to plow it better: but
a moments reflection gave us a better
plan than this. We turned the whole
under as completely as possible, and to-
day June 15) every particle of the weed
has rotted. The top was full of sap, and
this in the hot earth rotted so rapidly
that the roots attached to them could
not get a chance to rally. The growth
of this late-planted corner of the garden
has been most extraordinary, and We
have small doubt it was due to these de-
csying mallows.
Notwithstanding the very severe win
ter these weeds had lived uninjured in
the open ground, and were ready to grow
with the opening of spring, having start.
ed in the fall after all the garden veget-
ables had been gathered. 1 do not rec
ommend growing mallows for spring
flowing. Possibly a little rye sown on
garden or corn or potato ground would
answer every purpose, and be less OBJ,
jectionable in every respect.-RurGl

A GOOD way to take ink out of linen
is to immerse the part that has ink on it
In boiling hot tallow; when cool, wash
out in soapsuds, and the linen will be as

Shocking Affair at Jeffrey

A very shocking affair occurred at
Jeffrey, N, H., Friday morning of last
week, in which the farm house of Dea.
Joseph Mower in the south part of the
town, including, horses, cows, hogs, &c,
we're destroyed by fire, Mr.. Mower who
is deacon of the Baptist church and
about 76 years old, occupied the house
with his wife and idiot son. In a fit of
insanity Mr.. Mower arose in the night,
set fire to the building and called his
wife and son, who ran to the neighbors.
He then went to an old unoccupied
house half a mile distant, where he was
found lying on the ground with his
throat cut from ear to ear. He was
taken to the residence of son in the
village and may recover.

Great Fire In Pennsylvania.

300 HOUSES DEsTRoYED-l2O0 PEOPLE
WITHOUT HOMES NEARLY S2,OOO0OO
OF PROPERTY DESTROYED.
A fire started in a lumber mill at Os-
ceola, Pa, on Thursday of last week and
burnt 100000 feet of lumber. The
wind carried the burning brands to most
all parts of the town, setting fires and
nearly destroying the town. Every pub
lie building was burnt except the Meth
odist and Catholic churches. Some 250
houses were burnt and 1900 people are
without homes The fire extended out
of the village into the fields and woods,
and the people were driven to the race
course where they were surrounded on
all sides by fire, but no lives are report
ed lost, though much difficulty was ex-
perienced in making escape. -Four hun
bred families are without shelter The
fire continued to extend to all the towns
in that section, and hundreds of men,
women and children were engaged day
and night fighting fire, which continued
till most welcome rain storm prevailed
ON Saturday.
Among the incidents reported is that
of ID. ID. Wood, train-master of Tyrone,
whose heroic conduct and presence of
mind saved many lives. He got a lot of
box cars, and after loading them with
men, women and children, sent them
through the burning forest at an ex-
tremely fast speed to Phillipsburg. Four
such trips were made, and about 1000
people were taken to place of safety,
Great excitement and consequent confu-
sion prevailed among the people,
Hundreds of miles of fences have been
destroyed. Bears, deer, wild pigeons
and all kinds OF game have been driven
by the fires on the Pocano range into
enclosures with tame cattle and around
the settlements. OF course great desti-
tuition prevails among the people thus
burnt out of home, business and employ
ment, and rations are being served
among them including clothing. The
origin of this fire is thought to be incen-
diary, and it is attributed to strikers.

The Last Boston Murder.

The last Boston murder-we don't
know as it will be the last when this
meets the readers eye, but we mean the
horrible murder of little Mabel Young
raises very emphatically the question as
to how much security to life we have in
this country? A few weeks ago the
murder of Mrs. Bingham appeared to be
one of most unusual suddenness and
atrocity, showing the almost entire inse-
curity of life, even at home, in the broad
light of day 1t seemed unprecedented,
and yet as impossible as it may appear,
the murder of little Mabel Young far
exceeds it in savage malice and atrocious
inhumanity. Is it possible to deny a
state of total depravity, after the perpe-
tration of such an unnatural horror in a
civilized community? Where ON earth
could we expect perfect security to life
to q little child if not in the church at
Sabbath school surrounded by friends ?
And yet it is true that this little inno-
cent girl was actually decoyed from the
presence of many friendly persons and
her attendant and most brutally murder.
ed in broad day, within few feet Of
their heads, and all within space OF
twenty minutes
Under such frequently occurring cir
cumstances what security to life have
we? Is there any sentimental croaker
left who will soon give US expressions Of
tender solicitude lest some injury may
hereafter happen to the murderer of that
child Has the time not already arrived
when, here in New England, the people
should in some form assume greater anC
M ore sure methods for the execution o
law and the discovery and punishment
of crime Gould we have more touch
ing, more powerful appeal then that
which now comes to us from the blood

house because of misunderstanding
with his wife. She had always been
kind TO him. She had been OF unsound
mind since the death Of her husband,
and had been irresponsible for the last
ten years. He regarded her as eccen-
trio and unmanageable. There was no
cause for her recent purchase, as her
trunks were filled with dresses she never
wore. She never wore iewelry.
During the absence of the jury, Mr..
Lincoln approached his mother and ex-
tended his hand, She grasped it tondly,
remarking with a degree of emphasis,
"Robert, did not think you would do
this His response was stifled by the
spring of tears, and the conversation
ended. She was next approached by
Mr.. Leonard SWEET, who tried to pur-
suade her that it was for her good that
the action had been taken. She could
not be pursuaded to believe what was
said, however, but replied with prompt
ness that she would try to endure her
prosecutions The jury's verdict that
she was insane was received by Mrs
ihhNpih Nitiiout eht NioibiN N'iSe'oHS'
She was stolid and unmoved, and did
not allow its reading TO interrupt the
conversation in which she was engaged
with Isaac N. Arnold, one of Mr.. Lin
coins biographies.
The Chicago Tribune says editorially
that to the court, the gentlemen COM
prising the jury. the physicians, wit
nesses, relatives, and friends, the action
taken was distressing in the extreme, but
its necessity made them unanimous. As
was seen from the evidence, Mrs Lin
coins mind has been for ten years, the
prey to growing madness, and this fact,
now made public, will cast new light
on many of her past actions, which were
harshly criticised by those who did not
know her, and which, while understood
by her personal friends, could not be
explained by them, since to have done
so would have been to have exposed her
mental condition, which it was then
hoped might improve.

1t grows worse and worse for the
New Hampshire democrats. Somebody
has discovered that one of their con-
gressmen elected at the last election as
Frank Jones was really christened
Franklin Jones, and consequently it
follows that if votes for "Natt Head
are worthless because his name is Ma
thaniel, those printed Frank Jones
instead of Franklin, don't count. And
yet the governor and council declare
that Mr.. Jones is elected, and that Gen.
Head is not. The proceeding has a dark
and devious look.-NeaU York Tribune.
Our democratic friends have hap
Ply knaek of doing the most unwise

wrong doing. 1t is not matter of great
consequence to the country, or to either
party which controls this one New Eng
land state for year. but the iniquity
and chicanery involved will be noised
abroad. and do the democratic party
more harm in the estimation of voters
who are considering which organization
offers the best security for honest and
wise government than the possession Of
New Hampshire for century could do
it good.-BaLimor American.

The New HAMPSHIRE OUTRAGE
A few democratic papers are manly and
honest enough to condemn the outrage
in New Hampshire, but they are few.
Here is what one of them says, the Buff
folio Courier. 1--WE sincerely hope our
Democratic friends in New Hampshire
may be able to put better appearance
on the imbroglio at Concord than it
wears for them at present, but mean.
while we cannot but think that they
have committed a grave mistake. Leav
ing all higher considerations out of the
count, their conduct from the mere point
of view of party policy seems in the last
degree indefensible and damaging"

SAD ACCIDENT AT MIDDLEBURY.-
On Friday evening, about seven o'clock,
a little child of Mr.. John Donohue.
was found drowned in a small open els
tern. Life had apparently been extinct
for some time. The cistern had been
made by sinking hogshead into the
ground under the caves, and had no COW
er. The child was about two and a
half years old, and had been playing by
itself with card given it by its mother.
1t is supposed that it had dropped the
card into the water and in reaching
down to get it fell in. as it was found
with its face down.
