Salt for Cd66Gge "A New Jersey
gardener considers salt necessary to
the development Of cabbage, especi-
ally in places far from the coast. He
finds them more crisp, Of better fla
vor and to keep better when salt is
used than without. He uses it as
follows: a few days after setting
out the plants, and when they are
damp, either after a rain, or when
the dew is on, l take small dish of
fine salt, and walking among the
rows, sprinkle a pinch of salt on the
centre of each plant. When the
leaves begin to grow, l repeat the
sailing, and when the centre of the
leaves begin to form the head 1 APP
ply salt again, scattering it over the
leaves. After this | look them over
occasionally, and if find they do not
head well, or appear to be diseased,
l sprinkle the salt freely. This will
save all such plants. A quart of salt
is sufficient for five hundred plants
in season, although more can be
used with safety.

TIOlIl IlG bdlItIbOIG Evening news.
A Touching Story TOuch1ngly Told.
In the year 18-,as the mail train
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
bound west to Cumberland, in charge
Of the late Captain George a. Rawl-
ings, conductor, was approaching
Doe Gully tunnel, the engine struck
and killed a cow belonging to the
widow of a Waterman at that point
who lost his life in the service.
The accident soon brought to the
scene quite a number of the people
living in the immediate neighbour
hood, and among them the widow
and her five small children who
were crying most piteously at
their loss, and using the most heart
rending expressions. Rawlings, who
was proverbial for his kindness of
heart, took up subscription, the
passengers and train-men contribut-
ing, and he soon collected over
seventy dollars and handed it to the
widow.
With tears in her eyes she turned
to him and said: "You will never
regret this kindness to the poor
widow and her children, and 1t 3CHI
come home to yOW some day or other.
Time rolled on and the incident
was nearly forgotten, when one
night Rawlings, left Cumberland on
his east-bound trip in a terrible rain
storm, and after passing through Doe
Gully tunnel, his engineman blew
for brakes in sharp and quick blasts
indicating sudden and unexpected
danger.
The train was brought to a stand
still within fifty feet Of an immense
land slide covering the tract for a
distance Of fifty yards, close to which
a large bonefire had been built, and
standing within a few feet Of it the
widow, with blazing pine knot in
her hand, waving it and shouting:
"Where is the conductor? Where is
the conductor 20
Rawlings soon appeared, and going
up to him she said: 81 told you you
never would regret your kindness
to the poor lone widow and her chill
dren; | heard the fall of the rock and
earth in the cut and J knew you were
coming down and built the fire to
warn you of the danger; God bless
the man who thought of the poor
widow and her children when they
were in trouble"
The scene can be better imagined
than described.
This act of the widow saved the
lives of the passengers and train men
and to this day Tommy Beckett"
who ran the delaware" on the occa-
sion, and who is still running on the
Washington branch, ripe in years,
no doubt often thinks of the widow
with the blazing pine not, who
signaled him at Doe Gully tunnel.

We learn that Gov. DenniSon's
family, and Gen. j. w. Forsyth's,
of the U. $. Army, intend to spend
the summer at "SWan Meadows"
Gen. Kelly's summer residence, near
this place. We are pleased to know
that the General and his accomplish
ed wife have determined to accom-
modate these distinguished families.
The Governor and Gen. Forsyth will
also spend a part Of the summer with
their families. We hope that other
families in the me- ghborhoOd will fol-
low the example of Gen. and Mrs.
Kelly, and open their houses for the
accommodation OF summer bOarders.

more agreeable to be in the country

ious to have as many people accom-
modated in the Glades from the

Garden Pests How to Deal with Them


At this season of the year the far

an unremitting warfare against the
numerous pests that are so destruct-

THE CANAL.

Matters on the canal remain with
out change, except that the boatmen
who were tied up at Point Rocks had
moved up on the Berlin level. 1t
seems from a letter which we receiv-
ed yesterday, that some understand
ing was reached between the presi-
dent of the canal and the boatmen,
which induced them, like 10, "to
push on" The following is the COM

that if they do not agree to give

getting 80 cents would tie up their

less and keep their families and stock.

WHEAT HARVEST.

A number of our farmers commence
ed their wheat harvest on Monday
last and by the close of the present
week, if favored with sunshine, the
great bulk of the wheat crop in this
county will have been reaDed. The
Fultz variety seems to be the favorite
with our farmers and is Therefore
generally sown. Other and later var
ieties will not be harvested before
next week. The present crop is per-
haps the largest ever grown in this
county, land if saved in good condi-
ton, is equal in point of quality, to
any former crop ever grown upon
our soil.-DentOn Nd. Union.
