1t must be pleasant for editors out in

the Houston Telegraph: ''One night last
week Mrs Atkinson wife Of the editor of
the Gatesvillc Sun, went out on the gall

and vas shot by some unknown barty.
She went in the house. The doors were
closed and lights cxtinguished. but tho
firelng on the honse IVES continued, sew

Atkinson, Who was in tho house returned
the tire. Two printers At tho Sun office
hearing the fireing went down to the
house to see what was tho matter and
were fired on. They returned the fire
with pistol and Spencer rifle. About a
dozen shots were fred and q horse of
Sheriff Raby killed. The outlaws in
Coryell, who have been committing so
many murders, had sworn vengeance
against the editor of the Sun and Mr.. Sad

MEASURING HAY IN BULK.

So many things have to be taken into con-
sideration in calculating weight of hay in
bulk, it makes it difficult to get at it
precisely. For example; fine, ncw.mown
hay, like red top or herds grass. would
require 500 cubic feet for the ton; limo
thy, $50; clover. $50; coarse meadow hay,
700 or more. After being stacked so
days the bulk would be decreased from
Ave to ten per cent, possibly more, &C.
cording to the size Of the stack and the
pressure upon it. Again, hay will vary
somewhat in measurement according to
the time it is cut. If this be done when
it is just coming into blossom, as it al.
ways should, it will pack closer and weigh
more per cubic foot than ii left till the
seed begins to ripcn, and the stalks and
leaves have grown coarser and become
drier. Good judgment and some exper.
fence III measuring and weighing are re-
quired to get At this correctly. A neigh
Dor Of mine informs me that he once had
the curiosity to weigh his timothy hay as
he put it into the barn in July. He sold
it in nine months after, and on reweich-
ing it IS it came out Of the barn he found,
greatly to his surprise, that it had shrunk
to within fraction of Is per cent.

Further on he says: "a special man.

to guard himself by denial of such

early, leaves his guests and goes to he'd.

medical science to have invented remedy for

and acknowledged to be destructive in the ex.

cies, is now an admitted fact, rendered indis-
putable by scientific researches and those who
use the Mandrake Pills will be fully satisfied
that the best medicines are those provided by
nature in the common herbs and roots OF the
fields.
These pills open the bowels ard correct all

three weeks.
To ruin oil-cloths, clean them with
hot water or soap.suds, and leave them
half wiped, and they will look very
bright while wet, and very dingy and
dirty when dry, and soon crack and peel
off But if you wish to preserve them,
and have them to look new and nice,
wash them with soft flannel and luke

If you want them to look extra nice

them with small cloth.
Keep plenty Of dry dust for poultry to

Shillaber, but her counterpsrts are often
found in real life. One Of these ladys
was overheard at an evening assembly
