good quality, free from oil. The rub

and in few days, especially if often
shaken, assumes the consistency Of
honey. If it inclines to remain 10 I'M
dissolved masses more benzine must
be added; but if too thin and watery
it needs more rubber. A piece of SOL

make pint of the cement. This &C.

using three coats in the usual manner,
will unite leather straps, patches, rub

large stores where rubber goods are
sold, and at some drug stores.

A HOrrid Butchery.

One of the most inhuman and desper-
ate crimes that ever stained the pages of
history was committed few days since
near Calamus, in Valley county, Neb. A
farmer named E. T. Carr, blotted from
existence his entire family and then hung
himself. The discovery was first made
by boy who was sent by his mother on
an errand to Carr's residence. Arriving
he found the house closed and the win
dows blinded. On looking toward the
stables, short distance away, the boy
saw, as he supposed, a man standing
under cow-shed in his night-clothes.
The lad ran home and spread the alarm.
An officer and one or two others at once
started for the place and found Carr's
body suspended by the neck from the
roof Of the shed. They then went to the
house, where horrible scene met their
eyes. Upon a bed lay the murdered
wife and mother, her whole forehead
crushed in by blows from sledge-ham-
mer, and her blood and brains hanging
in gAeat clots from the wall. Her throat
was also cut. Passing into an adjoining
room, the parties found the two little
boys, victims of the same brutality which
befell their mother, with the exception
that the throat of the youngest was not
cut.
On table in third room was found
a piece of brown paper, on which was
written, in the steady hand Of the muir
derer, the following: 81 cannot live
always, and am not willing to leave my
family to suffer. Bury us all together
on the top of some high bluff" This
was signed "Ed," an Authorization of
the murderer's name. The body of the
suicide was taken down and carried to
the house, and an inquest held. Some
of the citizens believe that Carr commit
ted the terrible butchery through jeal-
ousy of his wife.-Siour City (Ia.)

An English Incident.

The English peasant, when he goes to
London to see the sights. takes his sup
per to the theater and enjoys victuals
and tragedy together. About three
weeks ago a hungry spectator in the gal
lery Of the Dfury Lane Theater was
overcome with hunger during the fourth
act of Richard III. He removed from a
paper parcel the savory nourishment
which he had brought with him, but was
SO clumsy as to drop small pork pie
over the gallery railing. It lodged in
the center of a chandelier in the dress
circle. Presently the pork began to
frizzle in the gas jets, and a most appe-
tizing oder filed the house +; and when
a few fragments Of pie-crust dropped
from the chandelier into the pit there
was scramble for them. The fumes of
the pie put a keen edge on eyeryone's
and nobody could listen to the
play.

PeriIs of Masquerading.

Mr.. Duffey, Of Oakland, Cal, went to
masquerade ball recently in the char
acter Of giraffe. His costume created
much amusement, especially at the sup
per table, where he remarked that he
must drink three bottles of champagne
in order to wet his throat all the way
down. On his way home at an early
hour in the morning he was extremely
fatigued, and lying down under tree
box fell fast asleep. A timorous police
man, seeing the strange figure from dis
lance, and concluding rather hastily that
a tiger or some other wild animal had
escaped from the menagerie that was
exhibiting in the next block, fred four
shots at the recumbent giraffe, one OF
which perforated the padding, and is
now Embedded in Mr.. Duffey. The
eaOs-Letter, speaking on the authority
of the wounded Dufey, announces that
in future he will be sent home from
fancy balls in a push-cart or a furniture
wagon. 80

NUT-FARMING.
A Favorite California Industry.
from the San Francisco Chronicle

IRON the San Francisco Chronicle.]
Experienced horticulturlsts of this
State say the cultivation of the almond
dan English walnut is extremely profit
able. Some of them aver that an almond
orchard fourteen years old and we'll cared
for will average production worth $3.50
per acre per year, with an increasing
tendency CT 10 per cent. for seven or
eight years. The cost of planting and
tending for half dozen years will hard
ly exceed the cost of planting an equal
number OF acres of wheat. The cost of
gathering the crop will not exceed 90
per cent. OF the gross market value.
The net return of an average acre of
4-year-old almond trees would at this
rate be equal to the average twelve or
fifteen acres OF wheat. Moreover, the
nut crop does not depend on the home
market. 1t is as portable as wheat or
fioNr, and the Eastern States would take
all we could produce. The same may
be said OF the English walnut, save that
the tree requires longer time to mature
than the almond tree. Both do well
almost anywhere ten miles from the
harsh sea winds, and below an altitude
Of $500 feet. Los Angeles and Santa
Barbara counties have achieved the best
regulations IN this branch of farming so
far, only because they have paid more
attention to it. San Joaquin, Sacrament
to, Solano, Yolo, Suffer, Butte, Oolusa.
Tehama, and all TIE lower foothill re-
gion, where water for irrigation can be
obtained, are as we'll adapted by soil and
climate to the almond and walnut as Los
Angeles.
a single example will serve to illus
trate the profits of the business. -Four
years ago two intelligent and enterpris-
ing farmers purchased a large body of
land in one of the Southern coast coun-
ties at an average below S. per acre.
They planted over 1000 acres in al
monds and walnuts, and this year, &C
cording to report, their crop will be
worth from $3.50 to $300per acre. This
success ought to encourage others to go
into the business. There are hundreds
of thousands of acres in the valleys, ex-
hausted by consecutive crops Of grain,
that might be restored to the realm of
profitable production in this way. There
is no danger of Cutting the market.
The demand will keep even pace with
the supply, just as it did with reference
to our wheat crop.
AS long as California raised but few
thousand tons of wheat yearly the mar
ket was limited and transportation cost
ly. When the world found it could
steadily rely upon us for from 5000, 600
to $4,000, 900 bushels the world made
ample arrangements to buy it at it's full
value and snip it away. We are jus!
now much concerned and perplexed
about system of irrigation. Systems
Of irrigation are not plenty. They have
them in India, Egypt, Northern Italy,
and in some favored spots of Central
Asia, on the Oxus and Jaxartes but all
OF them have been the slow growth Of
many centuries. We shall acquire ours
when we shall have learned, better than
wheat and barley farming can ever teach
us, the value OF an acre of good land.

DISTRESSING CASE OF DEATH FROM
BURNING.-We have just learned the par
ticulars of the death of ayoung German wo-
man, from burning, which occurred near
Fulston, few days before Christmas last.
The woman, who was about 25 years of age,
was in the employ of the Bond family, at the
white House" and with her child of Is
months old, occupied n room in an clubhouse,
heated by wood stove On the night ofthe
11th of December last, it appears that sparks
from the stove set fire to her clothing and
the bed on which she lay In extinguishing
the fire she was dreadfully burned from her
waist TO her feet, and her child was also Sc
ycrely burned on one its feet and hands
Although so fearfully injured it seems that
no physician was sent for, and little or moth
ing done to alleviate the sutferings of the UNI
fortunate woman or her child On the 21st
of December the woman died. An under
taker was sent for TO bury the remains, but
he refused to do so until al inquest was held
Justice Shroff was notified, a jury sworn, and
after an examination Of the body by Dr.
Robert Dickey, II verdict was rendered of
death from accidental burning.
The scene to which the jury were sum
moned is represented TO have been of char
acter 10 bring reproach on civilized com.
muniiy. The body of the poor woman, with
buta vestige ofclothing upon 1t, was laid upon
board resting on two chairs, and covered
with sheet that scarcely concealed the form.
Through the kindness of neighbors it was
decently prepared for burial, and inferred in
the Presbyterian graveyard at Falston, at
the expense of the county.
The woman, whose name is unknown,
first appeared in the neighborhood with her
child, about six months previous to her
DEATH and called at the house of Mr.. Henry
Osthinc, in Fallston. She asked for food
and her wants being kindly supplied, she
stated she was n widow, her husband having
been killed by the fall ola tree in Michigan,
and that she was cndeavoring to get employ.
ment until she could reach her friends in
Germany. A few days subsequently, she OBJ
tanned employment at the house where she
died. After the inquest the child was taken
in charge by Mr.. Osthine, and properly cared
for.

Public Economy.

Mr.. EDITOR: notice that some of our citi.
zens in discussing economy in the adminstrl-
ton of county affairs, advocate the adjustment
of the Office of Tax Collector for the several
districts, and instead favor the appointment of
County Treasurer, who will collect all the
county taxes. This, they claim, will save sew
eral thousand dollars year in expenses. Now
this is all well enough, provided 1t will work.
They mention several counties that are regulat-
ed in this way. True enough, but in speaking
of Baltimore county, with its large balance be-
hind they did not mention that over there they
have Treasurer at salary of a thousand dol
lars a year, and Clerk to the Treasurer, at
almost as high salary. Even should the no1us
operandi of collecting taxes be changed, it
would not be economy to do it at present, for
this reason: 1t has been several years since the
last assessment was made, aud it is now neces-
sary 10 make new one, which il would of
course be to the interest of the Collectors to do
One man could not possibly do it, aud were it
possible, 1t is not to be supposed that salaried
officer would give it the proper attention. AS
far as l have been Informed, the majority of
those who favor the change do not wish it TO
take place until The next State election, and
then elect Treasurer by the whole vote of the
people of the county. Not allow the appoint
ment of one who might possibly be agreeable
to a select few and disagreeable to the great
body of Taxpayers, who alone have right TO
decGe the matter. This, | think, is the true
economical view Of the matter, as certainly
there is enough new property to be assessed to
pay Collectors fees, and in the end will save
more TO the county than in any other way.
believe in reform in its true sense and meaning;
but please understand that am not after an
