Remarkable Brain Injury.-Edith May,
three years of age, daughter of John G..
Ash, who resides on the New Castle pike,
about three miles east of Elkton, whilst
climbing up harrow which had been
propped against the fence, pulled the har-
row over upon herself, one of the teeth
entering her skull just above the ear and
penetrated the brain to a depth of between
two and three inches, carrying with it into
the brain substance, fragments of the
bones. The opening in the skull is about
one inch square, from which considerable
quantity of brain matter exuded at the
time, and through which there is now pro-
truding large hernia of brain substance.
The tooth is an ordinary harrow spike,
made of inch iron, tapering to blunt
point ] in. square, and weighs II lbs. 1t
bears the mark of blood at distance of
p inches, the depth which it entered the
brain. That it did enter to this distance
was confirmed by the medical attendant,
who traced the track of the tooth to near
this distance with his finger. This acct
dent occurred at o'clock P. NJ. on We'd
nesday last. There is no intellectual dis
turbance and no loss, at present discerni-
BILE, of any function of the brain, and the
childs condition is such as to inspire hope
of its recovery.

Peaches continue plentiful in our mar
ket, and of much finer quality than last
week, selling at 20925 cents per basket.
Some of the orchards north of Elkton have
been patronized by persons from the upper
parts of the county where few peaches are
grown, and by peddlers who retail the fruit
among the farmers through Lancaster and
Chester counties. Many of the farmers go
to the orchards and pick what peaches
they want for the use of their own fami-
lies. This practice might be pursued to
much greater extent and be mutual ad-
vantage. Thousands of bushels are rotting
in the large orchards south of this place in
this State and Delaware, and farmers who
have teams could get supply of peaches
cheap, and of the best quality, by going to
the orchards where they are so abundant.

FARM AND HOME.


-Cucumbers in the early part of July
are a luxury, and eaten in moderation
are not unwholesome. They should
always be picked early in the morning,
when the dew is on them. Gathered
later in the day, under broiling sun,
they are wholly unfit to eat. This IS, no
doubt, one reason why they are consid-
cred unwholesome by many persons
Exchange.
-Cribbing is caused, in the first place,
by some foreign substance being pressed
between the teeth, or by the front teeth
growing too close together, thus causing
pain. The horse, to avoid this, instinct
lively pulls at any hard substance, thus
spreading the points of the teeth and, by
that means, affording temporary relief.
To remedy this fault it is only necessary
to saw between the teeth with a very
thin saw; this relieves the teeth of all
side pressure and effectually ends the
trouble.-N. 2. Herald.

Extraordinary stories are told of the
healing properties of new oil which is
easily made from the yolk of hens eggs.
The eggs are first boiled hard and the
yolks are then removed, crushed and
placed over a fire, where they are care

just on the point of catching fire, when
the oil separates and may be poured off.
One yolk will yield nearly two teaspoon
fuls of oil. 1t is in general use among

strips of old linen and then dip the work
into hot alum water till thick coating
of that substance is formed. The wires
may be twisted into any shape that may
please the fancy, and good effect may
be obtained by leaving little tags of the
linen strips hanging in various direc-

they will have the appearance of icicles.
The first dipping of the basket should be

may occasionally be immersed and dried

Rearing Profitable Horses.

A writer in one of the reports of the
Agricultural Departments states that speed
in the horse has now become essential to
the comfort and convenience of the peo-
pie, and it commands its money value &C
cordngly. The wants as we'll as the hab-
its and tastes of the community have
changed materially since railroad tray
cling has become so universal. Men &C
customed to speed of from twenty to
thirty miles an hour in the cars cannot
be expected to content themselves with
the old and common rate of five or six
miles an hour, and the majority of peo-
pie now want a horse to go of easily and
without over urging at the rate of ten or
even twelve miles an hour, and the horses
that do it are not very common, whereas
formerly they were only the exceptions
TO the general rate of speed. Speed is,
to be sure, only one of the many qualities
which are essential to good roadster,
and size, style, action, temper, form, con-
stitution and enduring qualities are
equally important in making a general
estimate of the character of the horses of
this or of any other period. The aggre
gate money value has been greatly en-
HANGED because the number of fast horses
has increased, and speed will command
it's price. The art of training the horse
to the trot or 10 any other gait, and de-
veloplng all his powers in it, is far better
understood now than it was forty or even
twenty years ago, and the increase in
speed has been to great extent due to
this source. Then it is a well-ascertained
fact that the exercise and development
of any particular qualities or capacities
in animals not only enables them to ex-
Gel in such characteristics, but when this
course is followed up those Characters
tics become hereditary, or at least are
much more easily trained and developed
in their offspring. There is another
thing which has operated most power
fully on the general improvement of our
horses, especially in their speed, and
that is the high price which they have
commanded during the last few years.
The profit made in producing firstclass
animals has been great, and the stimulus
it has afforded to skill in breeding has
been of itself sufficient to account for
much of the progress that has been made.

Beggars in England.

The third annual report of the Fulham
and Hammersmith Committee of the So
ciety for Organizing Charitable Relief and
depressing Mendicity, to be presented at
the forthcoming public meeting, alludes
to the increased amount of vagrancy in the
district during the past year, and contains
the following interesting account of the
begging profession:
Begging is, in reality, regularly-or-
ganized profession, the principal varieties
of which are termed turks from the
Welsh Werc, "a fit Of loitering): The fire
Turk pretended losses by fire.; the ship
wrecked-sailor's Turk; the foreigners Turk !;
the accident Turk; the sick Turk (pretend-
ed illness-some tie up their arms in a
very clever way, others feign fits, others
remain in bed Stimulating illness while
they send out their companions to beg for
them); the deaf and dumb Turk; the SER
wants Turk pretended loss of employment
through an explosion); the weavers', cal
enderers' and cotton-spinners' turks. To
these may be AIDED the shallow cove or
'shivering Jenny who goes about half
naked, and the high-flier, who stimulates
the broken down gentleman, officer or
tradesman. 1t is difficult to draw the line
between the vagrant and the petty hawker,
as the pursuits of the habltual vagrant are
of the most protean character. One day he
is the lurker, another day he is the Gro
GUS, or sham DOCTOR selling po-
tons favored with salt or some form
of nastiness, or vegetable pills obtained
ready-made from the rabbit warren and
rolled in flour, or he is the hop-picker
just returned from the country with gen
uine ketchup'--made from Smithfeld
mushrooms (s.e. decayed bullocks' liv-
ers), or he is the sham smuggler who
sells brandy and tobacco, the samples of
which are genuine, but the bulk of which
consists principally of colored gin or hay.
1t would require a separate report to deal
comprehensively with all the receptions
and DISCUSSES of these rascals, as there is
hardly source of human suffering or
passing calamity of any magnitude which
they do not endeavor to turn to their adj
vantage"
The signs chalkcd by the fraternity on
doors and gateposts, for the information
of their brethren, are given in the report.
Their respective meanings are as follows:
~ This road is better than the other. (2)
They will buy if you have what they

whole. (0 No good. CO. Spoiled by too
