4 Terrible Affair,

During the terrible snow storm 81
/ Feb. Sd, when the wind upon the
/ pralries blew a hurricane and the
mercury in the thermometer stood a,
! 80 to 81 degrees below zero, l..
Richmond, of Clayton county, on re-
tlrlng for he night, built a large fire
IN the stove, to keep the house as
warm as possible. About midnigh,
he awoke to find the house en-
veloped IN flames, the rafters already
falling in the shape Of blazing brands
upon the heads OF himself and his
children he seems to have had no
wife, probably being a widower,. He
drew on pair of socks, and awak-
ened his children, but not in time to
save one of them from being burned
to death. The rest he told to 90 to
the stable and creep in among the
hay, while he, wearing nothing but
his drawers and socks, ran half mile
to the nearest neighbours to obtain
help. The children, with nothing on
but the night clothes in which they
slept, went to the stable, but found
that the snow had drifted against the
door to such an extent that they were
unable to open it, and were COM
pelled 10 remain outside, exposed to
the pltlless storm until the return of
their father and neighbor with a
team. The latter was procured and
returned with all haste; the children
were placed in the sleigh, but one of
them was SO frozen that it died on
the way, while two others were Sc
verely injured and barely escaped
with their lives. Mr.. Richmond was
severely burned while attempting to
rescue the child that was burned ia
death.

"A, and being the owner OF many
millions, might indulge in an easy
mode Of life, but such is not his dis
position. This leads me to observe
that New York contains large group
of laborlous old men-tolers con
0aore-amateurs of work, whose zest
of life would be lost without the
daily task. In addition TO Stewart,
there is Moses Taylor, who is nearly
the same age. He is President Of
the City Bank, and is worth $1,000
900, but his application to business
is OF an unremltting character. Com

his daily duty. His library of rail-
way reports is well read, aud he has
books Of calculations upon transpor-
tatlon, and all the miuu,ir of his
realm, which are thoroughly studied.

The Proposed Tunnel Under the
English Channel.

The French Assembly having
voted affirmatively upon the opening
OF this stupendous enterprise, the
London papers, especially the London
Daiiy Ne,rs, received by the latest
mail, contain diagrams, charts, and
particulars relative to the proposed
tunnel, which may prove interesting
to our readers. The submarine rail
way will have length Of twenty
two miles between the English and
French shores. 1t will have TO be
cut through bed of chalk. which is
upward of 500 feet deep on each
shore from high water mark. and the
Investigations lead 10 the conclusion
that il is continuous, and that it
stretches without interruption be-
meath the sea across the straits.
On the line OF the tunnel the depth
of water at high tide nowhere ex-
ceeds $50 feet, SO that, were West
minister Abbey to be sunk in the
deepest part, lis towers would pro-
ject forty FIVE feet above the surface
Of the water. As atpresent planned,
there will nowhere be less than 200
fee, of strata above the tunnel, and
this will, as may be seen by the Sec
ton given at the bottom of this plan,
allow the railway approaches to be
formed with a gradient Of about one
foot in eighty. From the bottom OF
the descent on either side the tunnel
will, for the purposes Of drainage.
slope upward towards the center at
an inclination Of one foot in 1910.
The boring in ST. Margaret's Bay
was commenced at the beginning of
1866, and was completed in 1868. l.
was carried through the chalk aud
into the green sand. which was
reached at depth of 80 feet below
high water The boring on the
French coast was commenced in
March. 1866. and was continued to
point in the lower or gray chalk,
about $50 feet below high water
At the same time that p ,rtion Of the
bottom of the channel lying between
the chalk cliffs on each shore was
examined. The principal,
practical and useful results that the
borings have determined are, that
on the proposed line of the funnel
the depth of the chalk on the Eng
fish coast is 40 feet below high
water, consisting of rs feet Of upper
or white chalk, and 295 feet Of lower
or gray chalk; and that on the
French coast the depth Of the chalk
is $50 feet below high water, con-
sisting of go feet of upper or white
chalk. and $50 feet of lower or gray
chalk. II also appears probable that
there is no great fault u serious in
terruption in the continuity or regu-
larity of the strata between the two
shores on the proposed line of tunnel.
On the completion of the tunnel, a
double line OF rails will be Laid down
in it, and trains will run from Dover
to Calais without any intermediate
stoppages. 1t will be possible, then,
to go from London to Coustantnopl t
without changing cars and very soon
too, as far as Calcutta. About 30o,-
900 passengers cross every year the
Channel, between Dover and Calais
1t is calculated that, when the horrors
Of that sickiy and too celebrated sea
pa sage shall give place to an easy
travelling in railroad, 100000 per
sons ,slll cross between England and
France, which will bring large divi-
bends TO the Tunnel Company.

Seed Potatoes.

There is much speculation among
the farmers upon the subjects Of seeds
generally, and more especially the
potato. Some contend that small
tubers are as good aud profitable for
seed as larger ones, and rice res'so;
while some argue that the tnbcr
should be fully ripe to be used for
seed, while others claim they should
be dug while green. Below we give
the words Of an old farmer in Maine
upon the subject. He says:
1--WE use too ripe seed when we
propagate from tubers that have laid
in the ground till dead ripe. Plants
that are propagated by tubers, require
different treatment from those propa-
gated BIZ seeds. Our corn and grains
that we use for seed, we like to have
stand little longer than the main
crop, and become perfectly matured.
On the same principle our corn is Sc
lected from the ripest. best developed
grains and kernels. But potatoes
for seed should be dug and placed IN
cool, dark cellar, just as soon as
majority Of them will slightly crack
open in boiling. This is most invari-
ably while the tops are yet green and
growing fast. The tubers are then
in their most vigorous state. Discon-
meet them from the parent stalk at
that time, and they retain their vlgor.
Instead Of deteriorating, as mos. all OF
us know the older sorts have, their
vitality is increased, and they yield
better. with less tendency to rot. As
long ago as 1915, and subsequently,.
observations led him to make some
experiments to test the theory. aud
he finds it the proper course to puT-
sue. It is not often said that the
late planted potatoes are better for
seed than those planted early. The
la,eness of their planting prevents
perfect ripening; hence the principle
of the above reasoning would be in
force.
