| ronde1t OF the Newvllle Enterprise
furnishes the following: Mr.. S. b.
McCune, of near Fed Barn, has OF
late been unfortunate almost beyond
precedent. A few days ago while re-
turning from Red Barn with bundle
of bags on his fine horse, Joe, the
animal became frightened and ran
away, the bags getting loose and add
ing to his fright. By great effort
Mr.. McCune succeeded In turning
him in to the fence, where unfortu-
nately projecting stake struck the
horse in the eye, knocking that organ
entirely out, and also striking the
rider on the breast and side, unhors-
ing him and almost breaking his ribs.
The horse ran home, and Mr.. McCune
was astonished ON returning to find
the eye miraculously in its place
again. Next morning he found again
that the eve had been out all night,
and after putting it back. a celebra-
ted borse-doctor was summoned, who
took the eye out and examined it, and
small splinter was discovered stick
ing to the back part of the eye. The
splinter was removed, the eye re-
turned, and he believes the horse will
not lose his sight. Following this
was visitation of hog-cholera, which
took at sweep twenty-eight of his
finest porkers, worth $500. And i'm
mediately following was the running
away of his four-horse team, the
course they took being almost certain
to cause the death or wounding of
his horses if not checked, when his
youngest sister, just convalescent
after severe sick spell, taking in the
situation, with wonderful heroism
ran out, seized the rein of a young
and high-spirited off-wheel horse, and
by superhuman effort succeeded in
stopping the whole team, at the i'm
minent risk of her own life, displaying
an almost unequaled act OF bravery.

in opening tobacco box before the in

does, as he seemingly understands the

THERE is very often among ignorant
and Ill tired people who are not as wei
off as others, strong prejudice against
those who are rich yet what these very
people themselves want, is to be rich,
suddenly they would become the great
eel swells and nabobs in the cOurtry
II is a fact that nearly all our rich peo-
pie started life quite poor, and they on
ly became rich by continued toll, great
care, prudence, temperance, and strict
~ attending to business, aud saving
what they earned. The same chance

An sxchsnge ssys: The 6uprsm,
] Court Of this State rendered q de
cision in the case of Wolback Ani
wife against the Lehigh Building
| Association. It declares that in al
cases where married women deal viii
the associations the mortgage is good
only for the actual amount loaned
and the legal interest Illogical con
sequence seems to be that if the
money loaned has not been used to
buy or improve her separate real es
tate, but has been used to raise mon
ey to pay her husbands debts, or for
other purposes, it is void altogether.
This will, no doubt, seriously affect
the vast investments made by build
ing associations on the credit of mort
cages given by married women, and
will prove q grave matter for such
associations. OF late years it has
been a very common practice for men
to hold their property in their wives
names, and, when desirous of loan,
to join with the wives in the mort
gage, contrary to the law as it now
appears. The effect of this decision
will certainly be seen in litigation
consequent upon suits on mortgages
given by married women, and total
refusal by the associations to make
future loans on any terms.

SINGULAR PRoPERTY OF TOMATO
LEAvEs.-"I planted a peach orchard"
writes NJ. Siroy, of the society Of Horlicul-
ture, Valparaiso, and the trees grow we'll
and strongly. They had but just begun to
bud when they were invaded by the cur
culio (pulgon), which insects were followed,
as frequently happens, by ants. Having
cut some tomatoes, the idea occurred to me
that by placing some of the leaves around
the trunks and branches Of The peach-treos,
| might preserve them from the rays oft
sun, which were very powerful. My sur
prise was great upon the following day to
find the trees entirely free from their enc
mics, not one remaining, except here and
there where a curled leaf prevented the to-
mato from exercising its influence. These
leaves 1 carefully unrolled, placing upon
them fresh ones from the tomato vine, with
the result OF banishng tue last insect and
enabling the trees TO grow with luxuriance.
Wishing 10 carry still further my expert
ment, 1 stepped In water some fresh leaves
OF the tomato, and sprinkltd with this in.
fusion other plants, roses, and oranges. In
two days these were also free from the in
Vulnerable insects which covered them,
and 1 felt sure that had / used the same
means with my melon patch, l should have
met with The same result. therefore deem
il a duty l owe to the Society OF Horlicul-
ture 10 make known this singular and use
full property of the tomato leaves, which l
discovered by the merest acct ent."-LiU-

correspondent of the New York Ma
ton says that "the panic among Swiss
watchmakers seems settling into despair"
The revelations made by comparison at the
Philadelphia Exposition has shown them
that they cannot compete with the Ameri-
cans in that field where they SO long enjoy
ed not only distinction but a virtual mo-
nopoly. Now the Swiss watches will only
be tolerated so far as old-iashioned ideas
prevail. These may make an uncertain
market for time, but it will be constant
ly diminishing one, for in future the peo-
pie who desire the greatest beauty and util-
ity, combined with minimum of expense,
will purchase the watches that are made at
Am erican factories, and little Switzerland
will never again come into formidable COM
petition. AS there are no new forms of
business that can well be introduced TO
lake the place of the old, We are promised
with the first returns of good times in this
country greatly increased Swiss inImigra-
tion. Thus the Exposition has not only
helped to fix the Matchmaking interests Of
this country, but it has shaped things in
way 10 give us an acquisition to our citi-
zenship that we shall find greatly 10 our
advantage. 1t needs very little readapta-
ton of Swiss ideas of government TO make
thorough Americans of them, and their
honesty, industry aud patriotic instincts
are qualities of which we cannot have too
generous expression.

A LAUNDRY SEcREr.-The following rec
ipe for doing up shirts will be found of use
10 many housewives: Take two ounces of
fine white gumarabic powder; put il into a
pitcher and pour on it pint or so of water;
and then, having covered it up, let it stand
all night. In the morning pour it carefully
from the dregs into a clean bottle, ana
cork it and keep it for use. A tablespoon
full of gum water stirred into pint of starch
made in the usual manner will give to the
lawns, either white or printed, look OF
newness, when nothing else can restore
them after they have been washed.-Her-

a HAWK AMONG HENs.-Gilbert White
tells most dramatic story of neighbor
who had lost most of his chickens by a
sparrow-hawk that came gliding down be-
tween a faggot pile aud the end Of his
house, to the place where his coops stood.
The owner, veNed 10 see his flock dimin-
shlng, hung a net between the pile and
the house, into which the bird dashed and
was entangled. The gentleman's resent
ment suggested fit retaliation; he there
fore clipped the hawks wings, cut of his
talons, and, fixing a cork on his bill, threw
him down among the brood-hens. "Imag-
ination," says Mr.. White, 'cannot paint
the scene that ensued the expressions that
fear, rage and revenge inspired were new,
or at least such as had been unnoticed be-
fore the exasperated matrons upbraided,
they execraed, they insulted, they
triumphed. In a word, they never desist-
ed from buffeting their adversary till they
had torn him in a hundred pieces" Serb

THE ESSENTIALS OF SUCCESS IN House
PLANT CULTURE are suitable soil, air,
light, moderate and regular heat, moist
atmosphere, regular aud moderate water
ing, and freedom from dust and foul gas.
Most of our plants are injured by too much
heat. For a general collection of house
plants, IL is not best TO allow the thermom-
eter TO be above 20, and If they could be
kept in a room where the thermometer
would usually not range much above IS, II
would be the better. In the nighttime, so
is high enough. Give little fresh air ev-
cry fine day, and all the sunlight atlaina-
BILE. Plants, however, will suffer from a
current OF cold air just as their owner
would, and Too cold draft must be guard
ed against. Cleanliness is as necessary 10
the health of plants as to that OF animals,
and 1t is therefore necessary 10 secure them
from dust as much as possible, and also to
cleanse the plants frequently by Swinging
or washing. Even here little caution is
necessary, for while the smooth-leaved
plants are benefited, not only by shower
ing, but evon by washing the leaves with
cloth or sponge, the rough-leaved plants,
like the begonia rex, do not like to have

mention her; second, because no woman

mistress of his mansion. There was an
old woman who lived in a shoe" it is true,
