NJ. Cole brings US the particular of n
heartrendiIg accident which happened
one day last week on the farm OF Geo
Steele, in the south part of Liberty town
ship. Three men were telling trees and
chopping wood. One of them. named
Arnold, felled tree. which in falling
took a different course from which ne in.
tended, and lodged in another tree. Be
fore he could get out of the way this tree
which had yielded to the weight of the
other pressing against it, sprang hack.
and the but end of the tree struck Mr..
Arnold on the side of the head. Tie
blow came with such terrific force that
his skull was crushed in, and the blood
and brains scattered all around. Arnold
fell at full length. hardly moving from
his tracks, and his cath must have been
instantaneous. He was about forty five
years old, and leaves wife and several
children in poor ciIcumstances.-South

A friend has furnished US an item of
news for publication, with name. date,
&c, for which he holds himself response
BILE, and will give his name without hest
tation, whenever it is desired. We shall,
however, take the liberty of giving the
facts without the names. On the I'd of
February jury trial was held before a
Justice Of the Peace in this city. After
the case mad been tried and given to the
jury they were left in charge of special
constable, who had summoned the Jury
and who had been deputized tor the &C.
casion. After the jury was left in charge
of the deputy, the said deputy constable
went out twice, with one of the iurrymen
and each time brought to the jury room
bucket of beer, for the use of the jury.
Some of the jury refused to drink. The
deputy certainly had poor idea of the
duties and responsibilities of the position.
Such conduct will not be tolerated by
our Justices, and We hope, for the credit
OF Plymouth that nothing of the kind
will be attempted again. The deputy
has probably fully realized the reckless
ness Of the transaction before this.

Hon. Charles Francis Adams deliver.
ed lecture in Boston, few nights ago
on Railway Construction Mania" in
which he presented some interesting
points relative to those manias for rail.
road building. which have prevailed al
different times in both England and the
United States. He traced many of the
financial and economic disturbances OF
both countries to the OVERRIDING of this
business, and 10 the enormous debts ere.
ated thereby. The period of greatest
mania in this country was from 1868 to
1873; and,in his opinion. its influence and
effects were not yet fully appreciated.
Mr.. Adams stated that the mania set in
with 1868 and lasted about five wears,
during which railroad construction Jump
ed from 1900 to 1000. and then to 5000
miles year. The States of Michigan,
Kansas and Illinois were taken as illus
tntions Of the effect of the mania In
Michigan, 1,000mile were built in TWEEN
ty eight years. and then 1900 miles in the
next four years. In that State thirteen
roads now failed to earn their interest bv
the sum Of g, zoo, 900. In Illinois. during
eleven years between 1850 the con-
st.uction averaged eigl ty-five miles q
year; in the next five years it averaged
664 miles. OF the $500 miles OF road
built in those years, not 800 were appar
entity profitable But Kansas afforded
the most extraordinary illustration of the
fury of the mania. With 100000 people
only, it had more miles of railroad by a
third than Massachusetts. and none of il
was prosperous. The lecture closed with
an expression offhe belief that the Gran
ger was the best friend the holders of the
railroad securities had, as he Was doing
more than anything else to stop further
railroad construction. If that was
stopped. according tn all previous expert
ence, in about four years more the coun-
try woulc grow up to It's present railroad
system, and it would become healthy and
profitable. Perhaps this is the Granger's
true miDelOu. - s

A Home For All.

Every living thing should have home.
"FoXes have holes" and all burrowing
animals eXcavate domiciles suited to their
need; why should man, of all other
animals, neglect to provide a home for
himself and family-or allow himself to
depend upon his neighbor for such a
necessity? Endowed to the highest de-
gree with the faculty of "inhabitive-
ness" why should he either choose or be
compelled to curtail his desire for the
luxury, or rather necessity, of home. 1t
should be one of the first duties of every
man to procure for himself either tenn
porary or permanent home-one that he
should be able to call his home and from
which no power or circumstance should
be permitted to drive him, save i'm
portant necessity, or fire, or food. Es
pecially should this be the case with
every married pair. A home of his own
fixes a man as few other things can, and
takes away both the necessity and de-
sire for the too prevalent necessity of
moving" a ruinously costly practice,
and one which is alike destructive of
prosperity or pleasure to both parents
and children.
The lack of ability to provide costly
or elegant home should be no excuse for
total neglect Of the duty under consid-
Grafton. An extremely humble home in
proprietorship is far more honorable and
praiseworthy than a more costly and
snowy one the possession of which de-
ponds upon the caprice Of landlord.
AT the same time no man should be con-
tent to live in an old rookery who is able
to provide his family with comely and
convenient home.
Many who own homes are quite too in
different to give their domicile that care
and attention which is necessary to in
sure proper degree of comfort and love
for the homestead. Children should be
taught to love and feel an honest pride
in their homes. Inducements should he
held out which will naturally lead to
such result. Orname MT your homes, as
you may be able to do from time to time.
A few shade and ornamental trees, lit
tie flower. garden, a tidy fence around
the homestead, cost but little and add
wonderfully to the love which will be
begotten in a son or daughter for their
home.
AS a general thing it is difficult to
place money where it will insure more
pleasure or profit than when invested in
home. Better spend money In build
ing and improving home than for thou
sands of things of which we soon tire or
finally throw away as worthless.-Pactfc

Feeding Swine in Summer.

A correspondent Of the Germantown
Telegraph writes During the hot sum
mer months would feed very little solid
feed, such as corn in the ear or un-
cracked would keep hogs upon green
feed constantly, either grass, oats or
rye, and feed them at regular intervals,
once or twice day, upon mashed feed,
either shorts, chopped oats or rye, buck
wheat, etc, fed in troughs. When fed
in this way, and at the same time allowed
access to water and shade, hogs will bear
crowding through the hot months, a very
good time, if not he best, to take on
flesh. This puts them in the best OF con-
dition for corn feeding, which should
commence about the 1st of September,
when the new crop is still soft ard
tender"
This writer is on the eve of finding out
that the hog requires bulky food as well
as the COW or horse. Because pork is
usually made by feeding grain, many
farmers have almost ceased TO regard
the hog as a grass-eating animal. When
farmers shall study the nature OF the
pig and feed it accordingly there VIII
be little trouble with cholera, scurvy
or other diseases. Both are no douot
occasioned by errors in feeding ana
uncleanly surroundings. One poiht
mentioned in the above paragraph neeos
correction. and that is, that 1t is danger
Gus to feed high in summer. Inns loea
has grown out of the fact that diseases
are more prevalent in warm weather;
but the cause of greater prevalence oi
disease is that concentrated food creates
fever in the stomach, and the hos
weather increases the difficulty. COR
weather carries off much of the upnpps
ural heat, and thus modifles the eheCc,Id

pending upon the election of Demo-
cratic Congress and Democratic Pres
ident. The honesty and patriotism OF
the whole country could scarcely pre-
vail against such power. Then add
the debt of the Confederacy, the claims
of the owners of emancipated slaves
and the claims of Confederate soldiers
to pensions, and consider what a mag.
nitcent total we shall have reached.
This is no fabric of nightmare There
is already combination Of Confederate
bondholders abroad. 1t was not long
since that advertisements appeared in
Southern papers advising eX-slavehoid
crs to come forward and prove up their
claims in anticipation of their payment
by the Federal Government. And the
Confederate soldiers claiming pensions
would be political power in the rebel
States that no Democratic candidate for
Congress would dare to offend.
But to return to the Missouri part of
the conspiracy. The holders of the GER
tificates issued by the commission in that
State became impatient, and the assem-
bling OF constitutional convention
composed largely of Democrats sug-
gested means of realizing more
promptly on their bogus claims. Ac-
cordingly they have employed lobby
which is to secure the enacting of a
clause in the new Constitution providing
that the State may be sued, and empow-
ering the Legislature to constitute a tri-
bunal before which suits against the
State may be brought. The dispatch
adds: with $3,000,000 at stake, ia
vorable decision is believed inevitable"
They reason well. These claims have
been quite as meritorious as now for
over ten years; but under Republican
administrations in Missouri they made
no progress whatever. With Demo
cratic Legislature, and with $4,000, 600
at stake, a favorable decision is believed
inevitable. "--Nilaoaukee Sentinel
