A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-Passen
gers by the Wilmington train last
evening report horrible tragedy
as having occurred yesterday morn
ing in Robson County, about ten
miles from Lumbcrton. Two men,
Grimsley and Falk, met in the road
and became involved in an alterca.
ton, which led to a fight, in the pro.
gress of which Grimsley drew pistol
and fred upon Falk, killing him al
most instantly. Thereupon a son of
Grimsley, who was present and wit
messed the difficulty, moved by some
impulse which is not yet explained,
produced pistol and killed his
father even before the breath had left
the body Of the latter's victim. Young
Grimslcy then escaped. 1t is said
that the elder Gri.nsley had threat
end to kill his son, and that the latter
stood in fear of his life at the hands
of his father, but, SO far as is learned,
there was no immediate cause for tho
patricide, as the young man was in no
present danger Charlotte IN. C.)

verse which he lately came across in

It be favorable one, in the neighborhood
of two hundred gallons of berries per day.
They have several acres planted in black
berries. of the best varieties. During
the two or three years they have been
occupying their present place. they have
secured one of the richest of garden spots
where before stood dense fir thickets. They
are preparing to supply this market with
all the different berries from their garden
strawberries, blaekberries, raspberries.
crrrants, gooseberries, etc. A thrifty
Young orchard is also under way, and they

There is plenty of room across the river for
scores of just such garden spots, the land
being as rich as cream, and can be had now
at comparatively low figures.

Practical dairymen are aware that
while the cream of some cows churns
easily, that of others requires long and
persistent effort to separate it. have
known some instances where il was
nearly, or quite, impossible TO produce
separation at all, even under the most
favorable circumstances, this resulting |
believe, from the extreme minuteness of
the globnles and their perfect protec-
ton from the necessary contract, by the
;aseine in which they are involved. In
such cases, the butter when produced is
of a poor quality. From the above
facts argue that the milk used I'm but
ter making, if in no other branch of the
dairy business should be uniform in
structure. If the two extremes are rep
resented in the milk of the same herd,
loss must result from greater or less
waste of the small butter particles, as
the larger viii collect into a mass,
while a large proportion Of the smaller
will pass off in the buttermilk. Where
separation is complete the buttermilk is
poor; where imperfect, II is rich be-
cause of this waste.
