THE MAN WHO WAS "BURNING Up
INsIDE."-When the excitement was at
its hight in Newark, O., last week, a
stalwart citizen felt the necessity of
bracing himself up. The mayor had
ordered the closing of all liquor sa-
looms and drinking-places, and the
police had enforced the regulation rig
idly. But there was back door in
Gingerbread row, and behind the bar
there was long range lightning whisky.
The stalwart citizen crept in, got his
drink and beat a retreat. Soon he was
overwhelmed with burning sensations
in his stomach. Something seemed to
be blazing there, and he burst into a

An " Eating Match"

An eating match" took place on
Tuesday night last between two negroes
named respectively "Bill' jackson and
Sam Post, at the residence of the
latter, on Crow Hill, Brooklyn, to decide
the relative capacity of the two men for
containing solid and liquid cargo. Jack
son, tall, lean man, and his competitor,
a short, corpulent individual, sat down
to table loaded with provisions and be-
gan the contest in the presence ofa large
number of interested spectators. An
immense quantity of food, consisting of
loayes of bread, Bologna sausages, boiled
potatoes, dozens of eggs, cold beef, buns
and ham, was disposed of by each man,
who ate with the voracity of dogs, each
feeling confident of coming out victori.

symptoms of weakening and begged for

being denied by the referee, jackson
withdrew shortly afterward. Post CON

stopped. A new match has been ar
ranged, Jackson having expressed him

Now that the season for hop-picking
is close at hand, few condensed hints
on that and the succeeding operations
may not be unwelcome to some of our
readers.
Both the quality and value Of hops are
impaired if leaves and stems are mingled
with them. Pick each hop singly and
separate the clusters. Set apart or reject
all disColored, poor and rust smitten
hops, and, wherever this is impossible,
thoroughly mix the whole pile before
baling, to secure uniform quality. Never
pack green and brown hops together,
unless you want to injure the value of
your goods. Be very careful in drying
your hops. Those too much dried or
sCorched lose their rich flavor and
aroma, while those not sufficiently dried
will heat when baled, and become worth
less Bale on rainy day, as the hops
are then most pliable and pack better
Let each bale be neat and trim; for in
hops, as in butter, bad packages lower
the price of the best of goods Well
pressed bales sample better, while in
those compressed SO tightly as to exclude
air the hops are quite likely to heat, es-
pecially if slackdried. Mark your name
in full plainly on the narrow side, near
the top of each bale, with stencil plate
and turpentine mixed with lamp-blaCk,
and be sure to put the date of growth on
every bale. Just before shipping, espe-
cially to a great distance, make certain
that the goods are in proper condition

A WOman'S Heroic Fight.

A WAGON drawn by two yoke of
oxen and carrying two men and woman,
with their effects, left Deadwood on
Monday morning destined for Bismarck.
They camped on Centennial Prairie on
Monday night and on Tuesday night
passed through Crook City. An eye
witness, who was cutting hay within a
quarter of mile, tells how they were
killed. He says that hearing succession
of rapid shots fired over the bluff from
where he was moving, he got up on
high timhcred elevation and saw about
twenty Indians engaged in fight with
two men and a woman who occupied the
OK train. The men defended themselves
CALAMITY against the great odds. They
were well armed, and fought as only
men fight for their lives. The Indians,
instead of coming up in body, broke
in every direction and surrounded the
wagon, keeping up constant trail of
bullets upon the poor unfortunates.
Three Of the oxen were the first to fall.
Waggomen, the owner of the outfit, and
the husband of the lady, next was shot
through the head. Mrs. Waggomen
seized her husbands revolver and dis
charged the contents among the Indians,
who were now close upon the wagon.
After she had emptied the weapon she
flung it full in the face of burly savage
who was reaching over the wagon to
grasp her. He reeled back but others
took his place.
Mr.. Tyner, the other man, was quick
" finished, and there remained but the
lady to deal with. The Indians had since
the beginning of the conflict been care
full not to iniure her, and their bullets
were directed chiefly toward the two
men. The poor woman, knowing her
probable fate, fought like tigress,
clutching an empty gun and striking
right and left, but to no avail, She was
finally overpowered and brought to the
ground, but she fought so hard that
they procured some tent stakes which
were in the wagon and staked the limbs
and body of the poor woman firmly to

TOalS.

Toads live upon beetles, bugs, flies,
grubs, and all such game. They are
easily tanned, and will learn to accom-
pany weeder about the garden and
pick up such morsels as squash bugs,
bugs, cut worms and potato beetles
that are known TO them. A toad has
been known to put away within him over
a hundred different kinds of bugs and
flies, and then wink for more. Such
services as this surely ought to be recog
nized, and such servant accommodated
with both board and lodging in the gar
den. No animal is less inoiiensive or
minds his own business more closely.
This valuable habit may perhaps be con
sdered as 1.-THE jewell which the toad
has been said to carry in his head The
toad is one of our valued assistants, and
should by all means be encouraged The
common idea that to touch toad will
produce warts upon the hand is un-
founded. 1t is in no way disagreeable
except to dogs which desire to try their
teeth upon it. In this case an acrid
juice eXudes from the skin which is dis
agreeable to the dog, but not injurious.

the ground. After they had accomplished
their horrible deed they took her scalp
and horribly mutilated her around the
breast, and then dispatched her. The
shrieks of the woman could be heard dis
tinctly where my informant was lodged,
powerless to help and almost dead with
fear.
When the savages began sacking the
wagon they observed the witness of their
cruelty standing on the bluff, and two of
them started in pursuit. He, however,
made good time, and succeeded in reach
ing Crook, about nine miles off, without
falling into their CluChes.
Soon after the massacre the Bismarck
stage rolled by the fatal spot. There
were no Indians in sight, and the passen-
gers were Mortified at seeing the sight
before them. Both Of the two men had
been scalped and their ears and noses
cut of. The woman was horribly mutt
lated, her brains and entrails being scat
tered all over the ground The bodies of
the poor unfortunates were taken to
Crook and there inferred. They belonged
to Brainard, Mimi, and had come into
the hills early this spring, made their
little stake and were on their way home

Budding Fruit-Trees.

THERE are two well-established meth
DDS now in very general use among eX-
perts in fruit culture, for changing or
multiplying varieties of the same class
on the same tree, and both of these are
simple and inexpensive The first of
these is known as grGttjHg, and is only
praCtiCed on larger trees, and always in
the spring before the foliage is developed.
The other method, which is much more
rapid, and quite as sure when properly
done, is buddjng, and the time for doing
this extends from the middle of July
until the first of September. Whenever
the bark separates easily from the wood,
the buds may be set, with fair chances of
success. The outfit for budding consists
of some narrow strips of bass mating,
such as comes on the inside of coffee
bags, and pOCket-knlfe with a single
blade, with small piece of ivory fast
ened in the end of the handle When
the incision is made the ivory is used to
raise the bark up on either side, so that
the bud may be pressed into place The
buds to be inserted should be cut from
young, healthy trees, and always of the
present years growth, those that are
most matured being selected The
leaves may then be clipped off the branch
of buds, leaving say half an inch of IL e
leaf stock attached to the bud Then
with a keen-edged knife cut off each
bud separately from half to three
quarters of an inch in length, leaving a
thin slice of wood back of the eye or
bud. These should be kept moist and
protected from the sun or air until set
exposure even for short time may prove
fatal
When the whole top or any part of It
is to he budded over, select the spot for
each bud in a smooth part of the branch,
not too large, say from one to two inches
in diameter. On this part make an in
cision through the bark in the form of
the capital letter T, and raise or separate
the bark from the wood with the ivory
on the handle of the knife. The bud
may then be pressed into place, cutting
off square the portion that goes above the
cross inCisiOn. Then with strip of the
bass mating wrap firmly around the
branch above and below the eye, fasten-
ing the end of the strip by a slip knot.
This completes the operation, which can
be successfully done even by novice in
less time than it takes to describe it.

trying in vain to get girl to smile on
him, as last resort gave her ten dollar
gold ring on condition that she would 90

that she would learn to love him. The
woman accepted and kept her pledge
At the end Of the week she did not

of the value of thirty,tive dollars, she to
try him month. During the month he
gave her another ring. She tried very hard
to love him, but did not succeed, and told
him so. Then the giver was angry. He
hurried to a lawyers office, explained
his grief, and caused the young woman
to be notified to call Immediately. The
lawyer explained her crime, made some
remarks about the Jail, and demanded
the gold ring and silk dress. The young
woman was frightened. She said she
would see her sister. The sister in
quired about the matter of an officer.
The statutes were searched, and the
young woman was told to hold on to
the property, which she will do.

We have more than once alluded to
the question Of thinning fruit when it is
quite small, buS we have usually consid
cred it as it produces an effect upon the
size of the remainder. No doubt in
many cases of large crops if one half of
the specimens had been removed when
quite small those left would have been
doubled in size and have made quite as
large a yield, with this advantage: that
their superior size and quality would
have greatly increased their value. 1t
has also been claimed that the habits
which most of our best orchards have of
bearing alternate large and small crops
may be corrected by systematic thin,
ming out of the fruit That this effect
is produced is not denied, but it is yet
question of profit. The AmericaR Agrj
cuttUriSt expresses the idea thus: eff
any of our friends have tried thinning to
induce annual bearing, or to reverse the
bearing year on full-grown trees, we ask
in behalf of many inqurers that they
will give their results. With young or
chards, just coming into bearing, the
case is very different, and whoever will
take the pains, and give the young trees
the needed care, Can make their orchard
bear annually. The education of
the trees must begin with their first
fruiting, as the first excessive crop,
though small in itself, starts the tree on
the wrong track. When the trees are
Young the quantity of fruit to be removed
is small, and all within reach. OF course
the cultivation of the soil must not be
neglected, but a healthy growth main

with his orchard, and treat it fairly, will
have no reason to complain"
