Winter Work.

The industrious farmer can find
plenty TO do in the winter. The
cattle need attention three times a
day then there are pigs to feed,
hens to look aftet, In addition to
the care Of the cattle. The fuel Is
to be procured-if woodland to be
obtained from ones own lot q
years supply will have to be chop
ped and hauled home, and then
sawed, split and piled up under
cover, to be in the best condition
for use. The corn must be shelIed,
and the grist carried to mill the
tools that have been broken dur
ing the busy season are to be re-
paired, and made ready for the
next season paths are to be SHOW
eled after SHOWS, roads to be br0k-
en- out, logs cut and hauled to the
saw mill, Ii lumber Is wanted ;ac-
counts all settled up at the begin
ming of the new year, Ii there
still remains leisure time, luIii Der
or wood may be carted for others,
and u little extra money earned.
In some cases stones may be
drawn for stone walls that are to
be built In the spring, for cellars
that are to be put In when the
season opens. Manure can be
sleddt d on to the hil!sides, or else
where 9 md or gravel drawn upon
some piece of meadow that is to be
reclaimed. All these things, with
such others as are necessary In par
ticular cases, will give a farmer
plenty to do even in mis- so-called
idle season.

A Husbands Vengeance
His Wife's SeGlucer Blinded
for Life and Nearly Roast

s. Norton. of Bettsviile, Seneca
county. Ohio, rear Tiffin, has for
some time past suspected his wife
during his absence from home, Of
being improperly intimate with a
Mr.. Chairman. For months the
husband kept his own counsel and
awaited events but at last he be-
came SO troubled concerning the
matter that he spoke to Chapman
about it, but the latter neverthe-
less persisted in continuing his
visits to the house during Nortons
absence The other evening Nor
ton happened to go into store
where Chapman was loafing, and,
almost immediately, Chapman
4neaked out and proceeded direct
ly to Norton's residence.
The husbands suspicious were
aroused and he'went home and ac-
tually caught Chapman and Mrs.
Norton in the Iatter's sleeping
apartment, both talking earnestly
and excitedly. The infuristed hus-
band at once drew a revolver and
snapped it at Chapman, but the
weapon hung fire /; and as Chap.
man was making an effort to es.
cape from the room Norton caught
hold of coal oil lamp that was
burning ON the bureau near by,
and hurled 1t at Chapman, strik-
ing him in the face. The lamp ex-
plOded the pieces of glass cut
Chapman 8 face terribly, ana ire
burH4ng oil ran in streams or fffe
over his person, burning one of
his ears almost of, destroying the
sight of his eyes, literally cooking
his breast, and shoulders, and
burning the hair all off his head.
The fire was at last extinguished,
bat ii was feared that Chapman
was burned SO badly he would die
He is however, improving.

of speedy return to specie payments, and,
by their silence as well as by their acts,
were pledged to maintain the resumption
act.
SO pledged, and only winning success be-
cause they were go pledged, they go into
the national convention with Samuel j.
Tilden as their candidate for president. 1t
speedily became evident to them, as 1t had
long been evident to the country. that the
mass of the democracy were inflationists,
were opposed to the resumption act what
does he and his friends do? Do they
place principle before personal aims? DO
they prefer defeat to an abandonment OF
principle2 Not at all. Having looked the
the ground over, having, as 1t is stated and
not denied, consulted with Governor Til
den, his tiusty lieutenant, Dorshemer, goes
into the convention with declaration OF
principles, in these words We denounce
"the resumption clause of the act of 1875,
Z" and we here demand its repeal" This
proposition, bear in mind, was made by the
friends OF Samuel J. Tilden and, as it is
understood, was either written by him or
at his dictation. 1t received the vote of
every Tilder man in the convention, those
from New York and Vermont included. II
was, moreover, satisfactory to the ultra-in.
fa,ionists, and received their almost unanl
nous vote. Upon it, Samuel j. Tilden
protesting to be in favor of speedy return
to specie payments, was nominated. Upor
- rri'~~,no Hardriota a pronounced
opponent of speedy return TO specie pay
meut, was nominated. The whole demo
cratic party profess to be satisfied with it.
If the democratic party are restored tC
power, if they are honest in their declare
ton, they are pledged to repeal of the re
sumption act, to further delay IN the day
of returning to specie payments. In New
York they are pledged to repeal the act o
March 1875, by which the people of tina
state propose to place their business on
specie basis The very proposition is
blow to confidence. Its adoption is blow
to public credit. IT the New York demo
cracy were honest in their declaration o
April 2G, they are dishonest in the endorse
ment of the declaration of June 2S. TIL
situation of the country at both dates wa
the same, and the party could not hav
been honest in both declarations. The
p afford, however, perfect illustration {
democratic expediency, of democratic n
, gard for piacple, and show the countr
how much they can rely on democrat
professions. Is such party to be trustee
either to deal with the finances, brir
around civil service reform, to give
honest government, or honest money?

o'clock Monday morning and reached Bran
DIN at 1.3O that afternoon, stopping in
Fittsford one hour for dinner. They left
brandon Wednesday morning for lake
Dunmore, where they are to encamp for
couple of weeks.
Brandon people all turned out to the
celebration, the places of business all being
closed except one or two drug stores and
ICE cream stands. It would have been a
tublic calamity to close these, as any one
would have seen to watch the crowd that
poured all day long into the store of
Forbes & Crossman, demanding soda
soda soda! The slight rain which
fell at noon did not cool their enthusiasm
or quench their thirst in the least.
There was notable absence of colonies
at the celebration. DR.. Smith, the clair
voyant, announced that three men would
be killed during the ceremonies and that
| one of them would be colonel. The pro-
phecy got abroad the day before, which
NAV in part account for the absence OF
those officers. The prophecy was not ful
filed in single instance. The nearest ap
proach was James Germand, who was
struck by a carriage and run over In the
morning. He was not seriously hurt, how
ever, and will soon be out. The reper

which it was necessary to divide them

imposing an appearance as they otherwis
would.
One of the greatest wonders of the da

no drunkenness or disorder. A large nun
