The FIRE AT CARL1H.-Ws learn from
the iSlrer State that at the time the fire
broke out in the Carlin Hotel last Sun
day several railroad boys were asleep up
stairs in the house. One of them, Con-
ductor Bray, awoke in time to escape in
night clothes. with burned feet; while
another, Harry Fredenic. an engineer on
the Humboldt Division, was stupefed by
the smoke, and all efforts to arouse him
by shouting and calling from the outside
proved unavailing. Conductor Hopkins
entered the room and dragged the en-
gineer: whom he found lying ON the floor
senseless, to the window. from which he
was carried to the ground in safety. The
fire is supposed to b the work Of An in
cendiary. IS three unsuccessful attempts
to burn tho building had been made
within the last two or thres weeks.

4 Danbury Spelling School.
[DanburY NeRs.l

An impromptu spelling school was in
augurated in Merrill's grocery, Saturday
evening. A young man, who, last winter
aided Mr.. Couch in the management oi
the North Centre school, conducted the
class. The first word he gave out was
Indian.
The first man said, 'sI.n, in, din, din

again.
Then the third man took hold. He
squared himself upon his seat, and hold

with becoming solemnity, as follows
! SIN in, d::d-d-a da, inda-i-n in-Indain.' -

who said:
"You people should keep away from

(From the Detroit Freo Press \

The othersnight Is the sslast car on
the Michigan avenue route WAS turning
around on. the table at the corner Of
woodward and Jefferson. avenues, two
young men who had fixed up straw man
in good shape, helped him aboard and
seated him at the end furthest from the
driver. The dummy man. had his hat
pulled low, his arms down, and was SO
braced up against the end of the car that
ne looked as much passenger as any
one. The car moved Of after while,
and as it turned into Michigan avenue IN

the young men followed suit, the driver
keeping his eye on the dummy, and won.

fare. . u. p: y. -G&<::.
At First street the driver jingled his
bell for fare, and the two young men and
the old woman looked over at the straw
man. The car moved up to Third street
and the driver looked through the win.
dow and yelled ''Fare,'' and jingled the
bell again. There being no response, he
opened the door and called out to the
straw man:
Say, you, you want to pay yevr fare. y
There was no answer, and after goinq
half block he shouted again:
"You man, there--walk up and pay
your fare"
One of the young men sat opposite the
dummy, and he squeaked out in reply:
''Drive on the old hearse!',
"What! What's that p shouted the
driver, pushing the door clear open.
'Oh hire hall!'' was the reply.
'See here' mister, you've got to pay
your fare or get off - exclaimed the dri
yer, winding the lines around the brake
"Grashus me s! If there's going to be
a fight let me get off, shouted the old
lady, and she rushed down the car and
made clean jump from the door.

the dummy by the shoulder. His object
was to jerk the 'sfellow'' out of doors, ani

successful. The driver went out of thu

1t is clear that agriculture was the be-

was when they began TO prepare their
food, by observing and directing the
natural laws of vegetation. planting and

Mrs. Weakly, at late meeting of the
Montgomery County (Ohio) horticultural
Society, being: CALLED upon, responded
that she had favorable green gage plum
tree in her yard, and was DESTROYS of
course, of saving the fruit. Happening
to notice in q horticultural publication,
that the branch of the elderberry bush
cut off and hung up among the branches
of the plum tree, would prevent the raw
ages of the curculio, she did as tho article
suggested. The result was she had half
bushel of plums from the tree treated
as described. The fruit had already
commenced falling from the plum tree
when she first hung the elderberry
branches on it. DR.. Griswold had sue.
ceeded in driving the striped bug from
cucumber plants by means of the branches
of the elder plant, but was not aware OF
their efficacy in the case Of the curculio.
He had been accustomed to look upon
those little fellows as our masters.

To Raise onions.

To raise onions the ground should be
thoroughly plowed, made very mellow,
and rolled. It should be made rich with
well-rotted, fine barn-yard manure. and
wood ashes make good additional fertil-
izer. Thirty two.horse loads per acre
would not be too much manure for a
good crop. Five pounds of seed per acre
may be drilled in rows nine inches apart
with light hand seed drill. The ground
tLust be kept very clean from weeds, and
mellow with the hoe. A hoe with a
pronged blade specially for this work.
The onions may be grown as close in the
row as they will stand. They may be
grown year after year upon the same
ground, if plenty manure is given them,
with increasing profit. We-would rather
sell at fair price at home market than
risk the chances Of distant one.-Mis.
