A Horrible Crime.

From the Lebanon Times and Kcntuckian. June 20
We have just heard a startling
piece of news from Washington
county. 1t seems that a yonng man
whose name we could not learn,
married, sometime back, Miss
Bowls, whose family had at one
time lived on the lands of Mr.. A. s.
Mayes. The girl had been seduced,
and before marriage, had given birth
to a deformed and idiot child. Her
husband seems TO have been dissat-
isfied about the child, and had in
fiuenced his wife to agree to a mode
of getting rid of it. With this view a
box was obtained, and the child.
while yet alive, nailed up in it. But
while this was going on a neighbor
woman happened in, and, hearing a
strange noise in the box, inquired
and found out what was done. She
persuaded them to open the box and
take the little thing out. The news,
however, of this matter got out, and
few nights after mob visited the
house, and next morning the husband
and wife was seen hanging to a tree
in the heighborhood. This event
occurred about ten days ago.

To Protect Wheat Shocks.

Charlottesville Journal
Lew Barnett thinks that farmers
might protect their wheat shocks
from the wet weather by oil cloths.
A cheap quality OF yard wide muslin
can be had for five cents yard.
Cut this in squares and oil them with
linseed oil. An aislet hole to be
made in each corner of the
cloth and Delaying pins used to fas-
ten it to the shock. The whole cover
need not cost over 10 cents. and
when once made would last for years.
Our average farm produces about
20 shocks to the acre, so it will be
seen that - per acre will be the
probable cost. He thinks the far
mer could save enough to pay for
them the first year of their use, as
the wheat could be threshed in the
shock, the necessity for stacking be-
ing avoided, especially IL it is wet
season

The Golden Rose.

tits rumored that the Pope intends
testifying his appreciation of Mrs.
Sherman's zeal In raising the largest
subscription sent by the Romanists
OF any one nation in honor OF his
jubilee, by presenting her with the
Golden Rose, with which only SOW
ereigns, churches, or cities have been
honored heretofore. Indeed, it is
said that only three times has Plus
IX. given this honorable symbol to
any one. One OF the three he has so
honored is Maria Teresa, formerly
Queen OF Naples, to whom he gave
it as testimony OF his appreciation
OF the kindness and affection with
which she and her royal con-
sort, Ferdinand, received at udeta,
when he fled from Rome in 1s4s. The
Empress Eugene received the second,
and Elizabeth. Empress OF Austria,
the third. The Rose is made of gold
OF the purest quality and fashioned
by skillful artist. The fourth Sun
day in Lent is set apart for the bless
ing OF the Golden Rose by the Soy
ereign PoniifI, who sends it to aprince,
princess, church, or city, as pledge
OF his paternal affection. 1t seems as
far back as the eleventh and twelfth
centuries the Pope used to carry a
golden rose when walking in process
sion on Laetare Sunday, but anti
quarians do not agree as to its origin.
Alexander Ill sent one towards the
end OF the of the twelfth century, to
Louis NIL, OF France, in acknowledge
ment OF the services that King had
rendered to the church. Pope julius
III. sent one In 1910 TO Henry VIII.
By this record, which have found in
a Catholic work entitled "The Sacra-
ments," IL will be seen that IL the
rumor be correct as to the Pope's i'm
tention to bestow the rose on Mrs.
Sherman, she will be the first indi-
vidual in private life who has re-
ceived so distinguished an honor
