Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week:
Our Special Court has been occupied
for the last eight days in the re-trial of
the suit of Ege heirs VS.. the Mt. Holly
Paper Company and their lessees. Yes
terday morning the jury, after q tedious
sitting, rendered verdict for the plaint-
ifs for $17 ,942.50. This is for ore and
timber taken from the lands.
Another unsuccessful attempt was
made on Tuesday night to fire the stable
attached to the " Noaker House, by
lighting straw brand and placing it
under the door on the Bedford street
side; but fortunately it did not burn.
Mr.. ID. b. Diller, the clerk at the hotel
has the brand in his possession and
which is halfburned. OF course it was
the work of " fire-bugs."
Mrs. Susan Walters, the cook at the
Mansion House, who was horribly burn
ed by her clothes taking fire, on Sunday
q week, died at the residence of her
father, on East Pomfret street, at l;
O'Clock on Tuesday night. She suffered
intensely and all efforts of physicians
and friends were of no avail.
Mr. ;. hingsbury, of Penn twp. whose
house was destroyed by fire last week.
lost all his bedding, clothing, three bar,
rels of tlour, twenty barrels of corn, and
all the furniture. Collections are being
made in the neighborhood for his bene
mt. The Messrs. Ali have kindly offer
ed him timber to erect new house.
On last Friday, when Mr. VIM. Shroy
eer, took large stone out of its place in
nj n lFrsNy on e. 4
Tritt, in Penn twp, the bones of a hu-
man being were found underneath. How
long these bones were there no one
knows, as a very large and decayed
stump was taken off the spot the day
previous. The bodies are very much de-
eayed, and it is matter of conjecture
how the bones got there, and whether
they belonged to an Indian or q white
man. Volunteer. w

/ have word for my stout sisters.
You know the difficulty which you al
ways experience in getting corsets which
shall give you good figure and at the
same time be comfortable. / think the
difficulty is solved in some new French
corsets which have just been receivedi
they are hand made, with large num-
Der of bones, and broad "spOon" steel
in front, which affords fine support.
Around the hips is plain heavy band,
without bones, which is so firm that il
cannot be stretched, and which gives a
fit to the dresses worn over, that a corset
in which the bones reach the entire depth
cannot give.
Walking skirts are cut very narrow in
front, and the fullness is given at the
back by means of rutfles, so that with
these skirts the long awkward hustle
may be dispensed with. House skirts in
demi-trains are similarly made, and fol-
evening wear with full trains beautiful
skirts in muslin are made, edged with
Valenciennes lace and held in place by
crinoline. These skirts are necessarily
made only by order, as they have to be
fitted as we'll as the dress. 1t is no longer
an easy matter to make skirts, since the
entire fit of polonaise or Princesse de-
pends upon them, and they have to be
cut with reference to the dresses with
which they are to be worn. A very pref
ty style is to combine corset cover and
skirt for every day wear, and place ruff
fies on the back of the skirt, leaving the
front plain.-iSOmerritEe JOuradL.

to work skilfully and patiently, and
succeeded, finally, in compelling the

little girl was very bright, and told a

Kansas To Ohio was made mostly on
foot, riding sometimes in farmers wag-
ons, and again stealing a ride on freight
trains. A great part of the time they
slept in the open air, sleeping in fence
corners, OF wherever they could. During
the winter the men made them beg from
house to house along the road, while
they stole whatever they could. Since
living with the families near the canal,
however, they had Jared little better

them over in the best manner. Thus II
intcrferes but little in the cultivation of
the next crop; and, the crop gathered, II
is so decayed that no further trouble is
experienced. Doing the work well or III
is simply in the use of the best imple-
ments, and the exercise of care and judg.
ment in performing the work.

ing first.class wages are really good plow-

In addition to the value Of stubble,
stalks and green manure turned under,
in forming humus, and in rendering the
soil light and friable, its benefit in form
ing series of shallow underdrains
should not be forgotten. These also keep
the soil light, and open to the action of
air and frost during the winter. In the
spring, such field, while the earth will
have become firmly compacted about the
material, will be found to pulverize more
readily, working into finer tilth, and
the soil will come into condition much
earlier on stiff, or even moderately COM
pact clays, than If plowed without the
stubble.
The time has come when our best
farmers understand the necessity of con-
serving all that will aid, not only in en-
riching the soil, but also are alive to the
necessity of using every means possible
to assist in more thorough disintegra-
ton and pulverization of the soil 1t is
the important factor in reaching the best
rest results. Prairie Farmer.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1877-11-23
Flowing and Pulverizing the Soil.

The principal object in plowing the
soil is, first, turning under the surface so
as most completely to invert and cover
the trash, second, bringing a new sur.
face to the air, and third, the most per-
feet pulverization of the soil possible. 1t
is difficult, if not impossible, to combine
all these conditions in the most perfect
manner, by means of a single implement.
Therefore the manufacturer is obliged to
make special plows for special work.
Modern ingenuity has accomplished this
so perfectly that there is but little ad-
vance to be made in this direction, so
far as the plow is concerned. In accom-
plishing two important integers in this
connection bringing up new surface,
and thorough pulverization, the farmer
whose land is clean, has a great advant-
age over those who allow their land to
become weedy and trashy. So far as the
stubble, and what green growth accum-
ulates between harvest and plowing time
is concerned, but little difficulty is ex-
perienced.
A plow that will properly pulverize the
soil while turning it, will also turn over
the furrow and cover the stubble, when
the soil is turned to fair depth, say six
or eight inches, unless the growth of
straw was so heavy that it became nee
essary to cut the grain very high. In
this case extra care is necessary in plow-
ing, to see that it does not accumulate
in punches, to be cast off, and lie par
TALLY or wholly uncovered. Thisi is what
marks the careful or superior, from the
careless or inferior plowman. The one
will still do good work, laying his fur.
rows closely and evenly. The other will
leave his plowing, uneven, balkey, with
punches of trash sticking out all over the
field, to be narrowed up to the detriment
of the seeding. In the one case the stub
BILE will assist in keeping the soil light
and friable, and converted into humus.
In the other case it is stirred about, and
dragged over the surface nuisance TO
lie until the next plowing.
Our Western prairie soils, that have
been burned over from time immemorial
in the fall, are lacking in humus, but
rich in all that goes to make up other
organic and inorganic material. 1t is
necessary then that all substances be re-
turned, that by decay, will furnish hu
mus or mold to the soil. The Taking and
burning of stalk fields is no longer pTac-
tioed by our best farmers. The addi-
tional cost If blowing under the stalks is
mere trihe In comparison 10 the value
of the material covered under. Here
again, the skill of the plowman is shown.
Now and then one is found who will
leave the field with the burrows even.

WHAT THEY DO AT THE SPRINoS.

Impnmis, my darling, they drink
Of the water so sparkling aud clear,
Tho the flavor Is none Of the best,
And the odor exceedingly queer.
But the fluid Is mingled. You know,
With wholesome medical things;
So they drink, and they drink, and they drink,
And that's what they do at the springs.
Then with appetite keen a. knife,
They hasten to breakfast OF dine;
The latter precisely nj two,
The former from seven till nine.
We gods what hustle and rush.
When the eloquent dinner bell rings;
Then they eat, and they eat, and they eat
And that's what they do at the springs.
Then they stroll in the beautiful walks,
Or loll In the shade Of the trees
Where many whisper is heard,
That never is told by the breeze
And hands are comminglcd with hands
Regardless Of coniugal rings;
And they hirt, and they 1irt. and they hirt,
And that's what they do ut the springs.
The drawing rooms now in blaze,
The music is peallng away
TerpsichOre governs the hour,
And fashion was never so gay.
An arm round delicate waist
How closely and foDdy II clings
And they waltz and they waltz, and they waltz
And that's what they do at the springs
In short, a. II goes in the world
They eat and they drink and they sleep,
And they talk aud they walk and they WOO,
They sigh and they laugh and they weep,
They read and they ride and they dance,
With other remarkable things;
They play and they pray aud they pan;
And that's what they do at the springsi
