\ gentleman writing Us from Washington
gives the following account of peculiar pre-
monition of danger in connection with one OF
the terrible disasters Of the present year
In connection with the catastrophe, the case
of Lieut. Fletcher, late executive officer OF the
Huron, which has recently come to light, has
awakened good deal of interest in all cultured
circles While at Port Royal last summer he
became impressed with the belief that should
he attempt to finish his cruise two years. on
the Huron, she would be wrecked and he lost
The feeling grew until it took full possession
of his mind, and he applied to the Department
for transfer, honestly stating his reasons
OF course such cause for official action could
not be entertained, and he was refused The
dread, meanwhile, ofagaln venturing to sea IL
the unfortunate vessel had grown to such pro
portions that he preferred to bear the stigmf
of desertion. He obtained a twenty-four hours
leave from the ship, and not returning, it SAILED
without him. He soon reported to the senior
officer at Port Royal and was subsequently
| tried for his otense by Court Martial Wher
Commodore Clitz and Commander Ryal
| Qost were summoned for the defense, they
stated that Lieut. Fletcher had repeatedly tolC
them Of his presentiment and of his horror o
continuing on the Huron. This is all matter
of record; and those about the Department
and brother naval officers elsewhere, familla
with the matter and disposed to ridicul
"Fletcher's superstition" prior to the disaster
now admit they don't understand it.

VALUE OF HOG MANuRE-Farmers in gen
eral miss large part Of the profits that might
be made from feeding pork, by not paying at
tention to the making of manure from the
hogs For corn, variety of experiments have
convinced us there is no manure that can be
compared to that of hogs; and the farmer VINO
permits any of this to be wasted or does not
give the animal an opportunity of converting
as much mould, vegetable matter, etc. mo
manure as can be done is great loser In the
end Some able farmers have estimated thal
the manure made by IA number of hogs, where
the proper materials are furnished, will fully
pay the expense of feeding; but there is nc
doubt, if they do not do this they will, by fer
menting the most cnriching compost for crops
and essentially to the ultimate profits OF the
farm.-Hidland Farmer.

MILK AND LIME WATER FOR DYSPEPSIA
MIX and lime water are now frequently pre-
scrbed by physicians for dyspepsia and weak
ness of the stomach, and in some cases are
said to prove very beneficial. Many persons
who think good bread and milk great luXu-

that the milk will not digest readily sourness
of stomach will often follow. But experience
proves that milk and lime water is not only food
and medicine at an early period life but also at
a later, when, as in the case OF infants, the
functions of digestion and assimilation nave
been seriously impaired. A stomach taxed Dy

Secretary Stratton, of the Colorado Board OF
Agriculture, in his report to Governor Routt,
among other interesting information, has the
following in relation to narrowing wheat
"The practice of narrowing winter wheat in
the spring of the year has obtained to some
extent in the Western States; and, reasoning
from analogy, Mr.. p. NJ. Human, OF Bowlder
County-a member of the bOard-having a
field of wheat which failed to have good
stand and whose general outlook was every
way inferior to the balance Of his wheat, decid
ed to harrow the field and note the results. The
harrow was faithfully applied when the young
wheat was four to six inches high. Many OF
Mr.. Humans neighbors who witnessed the
operation were very free to express the opin
ion that the wheat would be ruined. Such
however, was not the case, as Mr.. Human IN
formed me that Immediately after the harrow
ing the wheat took on better look and com
menced growing rapidly; and at harvest tint
the field so treated gave the largest yield

such occasions she would quietly wait for the
train to return, and sometimes meet it when il
came in sight and fly into the baggage car and
get on the nest Immediately. When the train
stopped for wood she would sometimes fly out
to get something to eat, and when the car bell
rang she would fly back Immediately. She

A HINT TO DUCK RAIsERs.-lt is we'll
known that the farfamcd canvass back duck
of the Chesapeake derives its delicate and pc
culiar SAVIOR from the valiseneria, or wild eel

teiligent agricuturist has turned this knowi
edge to useful account by cooping and feeding
the common domestic duck upon the tops and
roots OF the garden celery for "a week or two
before killing them, which is said to greatly
improve their flavor and altogether destroy
the rankness which is generally observable II
