ao of Tie most noted berse-thieves
hai ever held forth in Southeastern
Ohio was Shep Tinker, of Chapel Hill.
He is now seventy. eight years oil, and
in the last year Of his sixteenth term
in the penitcntiary Of Iowa. AT the
close Of his third term in Ohio, his fe,.
low. citizens in Chapel Hill concluded
that in consequence Of his attendance
upon the courts he was eminently quail
fled to discharge tho duties of Justice
of the Peace. They gave force to this
opinion by elec;ihg him over the most
worthy and respectable citizen of the
township.
The term Of office was for three years,
and the fees and emoluments amount
ed to about ten dollars annually. The
general impression was, however that
Shep would make it pay better, as it is
not difficult for a Justice of the Peace
to get all his neighbors by the ears
and reap a rich harvest in the way Of
costs Hence it is easy to imagine the
surprise of Obe Spencer, the clerk Of
the court, when, three weeks after re-
ceiving his commission. Tinker pre-
sonted himself with his resignation.
"Why, Shep," said the clerk, "what
made you resign? had an idea that
you would make the office profitable
as we'll as honorable. Seems to me it's
safer to be Justice of the Peace than
to follow your own trade"
"The fact is" began Tinker in ex-
PLANTATION, "Pvo the strongest of moral
reasons for resiguing. Nv conscience
forbids me to hold the Office day
longer"
"fhe ID you say ]" broke in
Spencer. "Your conscience troubles
your Tell me how your conscience
troubles you"
That's easy enough understood, +"
replied Tinker, when you know all
the circumstances. I've just got one
case on my docket-Charlcs Schneider
versus Jim Jones action fol debt /;
amount claimed, two hundred and
eightyfive dollars. Evidently Schnei-
der's claim is not very good, for he
paid me fifty d)llars to give him iudg
ment. Then Jones defence is bad, foT
he paid me sixty dollars to decide in
his favor. AS a man Of honor | can't
keep the money of both and decide
against either. Consequently l want
to resign and let my successor try the
case"
Mr.. Spencer accepted the resigna-
tion without further hesitation.

of quick or unslacked lime four
parts, and of sulphur one part.
Break up the lime in small bits !;
then, mixing the sulphur with it in
q tight vessel, pour on them enough
boiling water to slack the lime to 9
powder. Cover in the. vessel close
as soon as the water is poured on.
This makes also q most excellent
whitewash for orchard trees, and is
very useful as a preventive of
blight on pear trees, to cover the
wounds in the form of . paste when
cutting away diseased parts; also
for coating the treea in April. It
may be conaidered as the one speci-
fle for many noxious insects and
mildew in the orchard and nurcery.
It's materials should always be ready
at hand. 1t should be used quite
fresh, as it would in time become
sulphate OF lime, and so lose its po-
tency. Wherever busting with
lime is spoken of, this should be
used. This preparation should be
sprinkled freely over the young
plants as soon as or before any
trouble from aphides, thrips, or
mildew occurs, early in the morn
ing, while the dew Is on the trees.

The number of acres in cultiva-
tion last year, exclusive of meadow
and pasture, was 3, 720, 1862, and the
product therefrom valued at S42,-
O42,S 1928, or $11.30 per acre. This
does not include the products of
the orchards, vineyards, market
gardens, etc. A good man and
team can plant, cultivate and har-
vest eighty acres in three Or four
kinds Of grain, and at the same
time attend to more or less stock,
SO that the product of an average
years labor of man and team is at
least $1,000. It must be remem-
bered that $11.3O per acre is the
average of the whole State, and in
cludes the good and bad farming,
the latter predomlnating in this,
as in all new countries. The far
mer who is able to own enough
stock to consume all the coarse

duct of his farm.

Woman,a Nerve.

SUMMITvILLE,N. Y. Aug. 18TH
Mrs. Jane HollingsWorth and her
two small children started from
Ellenyille for this place on Friday
in the stage connecting with the
Midland railroad trains. There
was but one other passenger, 8
young man, who occupied q seat
with James Low, the driver. Just
this side of Ellenvllle is a long and
steep declivity known as Budd's
Hill. The stage had just started
down this incline, and the tongue
slipped through the ring in the
neck yoke. This brought the
whiffletrees of the heels of the
horses, and they ran away. The
driver threw down the lines
and jumped from his seat. The
passenger that was by his side
quickly followed him. The horses,
freed from all restraint, plunged
furiously down the hill. Mrs.
Hollingsworth and her children
occupied the back seat in the
coach. Although young, slight,
and inexperienced in the hand
ling of a horse, she determined to
make an effort to save the lives of
herself and children. The horses
dashed down the steep hill, and on
one side of the road was q bank.
The coach was thrown from one
side of the road to the other at
every jump the horses made, and
now and then hung on the very
edge of embankment. Mrs
Hollingsworth quieted the chill
dren with the assurance that she
would stop the horses, and then
clambered over three seats to that
deserted by the driver and his
companion. The lines had been
drawn from the dashboard, where
the driver had thrown them, and
were out of reach. The courage
GUS woman climbed down to the
pole of the coach, walked between
the horses to where she could
reach the reins, and clambered
back to the box. just below
where this occurred the road makes
a sharp turn around a hill. She
pulled the horses close to the base
of this hill, but, IN making the
turn at high rate of speed, the
coach was careened, the wheels on
the upper side were lifted from
the ground, and it ran in that
position until the straight road
was reached again, when it right.
ed. BY the exertion of all hel
strength, Mrs. Hollingsworth kept
the horses almost against the hill
side, and finally turned them of
to the left, where the bank was
not so steep, and guided them
into fence. Then she swooned.
The driver and the passenger who
jumped with HIM were badly hurt,
