]. T. T., page 6s4, wants to know
what crops and quantities will be re-
quired to soil twelve cows, two horses
aud two head of young cattle. He has
one acre of winter rye specially for this
purpose, and more sown as field crop,
which may be used for soling TO tie
extent that rye is profitable. He also
has three or four acres of clover. So
far, good. Ii his clover turns out a
good crop, 1t will last, with the rye, till
other spring crops come on, such as
oats and peas sown together, fodder
corn, or Hungarian grass or millet.
For mich cows, the oats aud peas
sown two bushels of peas and one
bushel of oats per acre-will be an ex-
cellent food for the production of milk.
l think this crop quite as good as
clover, and with good soil will produce
large yield. 1t is best for soiling
when the peas are In the milk, and will
yield from eight to fifteen tons of green
fodder per acre, and contains the elc-
ments in excellent combination foi
milk. If required, it may be cut when
the peas are in blossom. In order that
we may form more correct Judgment
of the relative value of the different
green foods for soiling purposes, will
give the analyses OF those crops most
appropriate for feeding green in this
country.

Tha SI0rm.

The great storm of Thursday was more
disastrous than at first supposed, among
its consequences being serious loss of hu-
man life. An excursion train returning
in the evening from the Pennypacker re-
union, plunged into a "wash-out'' in a
high embankment near Phenixville,
Pennsylvania, and about eight persons
were killed and over fifty injured. BY
the disaster on the Belvidere Railroad,
near Milford, n. j., three persons drown
ed, and il is feared that two others per-
ished. The train lies in the river some
distance off shore, where it was washed
by the torrent from the creek. Disasters
also occurred on the North Pennsylvania
and Wilmington Northern railroads, an
engineer being killed in each case. The
storm was very severe in Delaware bay,
on Long Island Sound, on the Hudson
river, along the New England coast, and
on the Lakes. In the Sound the steamer
Massachusetts grounded on Rocky Point
and will probably be total wreck. Her
passengers We're saved.

THE RAILROADS.

The numerous accidents on railroads
in all parts of the Middle States, in COR
sequence of the heavy rain storm OF
Thursday evening, shows the necessity
of much greater care in the building OF
culverts, to prevent them from being
washed out. They ought to be made
larger and built with the best cement.
In many places the road beds have been
washed away where there was no cul-
vert, admonishing the companies that
the beds of roads ought to be made much
wider. Frequently on new roads it may
be observed that the top of bed Of the road
is not more than foot or two wider than
the track. This is running too much
risk. Now that number of lives have
been lost by badly constructed roads, we
hope that more care will be taken in the
future. 1t would cost less to build cul-
verts large enough at once, One acci-
dent may cost five times the cost of a
culvert, even where no lives may be lost,
and only injury to cars sustained.

STOKES, the least guilty. of the Morton
fraudulent stock combination, is in the In
sane Asylum; the chief of the offenders is
held in $1,000 bail as a witness, while
HUM and Nagle, two guilty subordinates,
are required to give $50 ,0V0 security to an
swer for the crime. That sort of crooked
ness will pretty certainly straighten itself
somewhere around the altar of Justice
Philadelphia Times.
If there had not been an entire want
of equity and honor around tie ''altar of
justice" in Philadelphia so scandalous a
conspiracy against the West Philadelphia
Passenger Railway Company could not
have existed so long as it did. 1t is diff
hcult TO understand how all the parties to
the transaction should have maintained
secresy so long. And one of the most
astonishing things Is that the press of
Philadelphia, including the Times, should
deal so gently with all of the parties con-
cerned, and be so tender in its illusions
to Morton, the head rascal to the fraud.
After this scoundrel has thus disg-aced
the name of his grand father with so
little lmpunity, the people may well ask,
"who can we trust 2" In this case more
shares of stock were stolen and sold BY
Morton, the President of the Company,
with the knowledge of the Treasurer,
Secretary, and several other persons, than
all the stockholders held beside, and vet
no punishment is meted out to him, and
his confederates in crime are walking the
streets under bail
What now is to prevent the officers of
the great railroad lines from doing as
Morton did? He was ograndson of a
signer,' and that was enough to give
him credit, it seems, in PHILADELPHIA.
He does not seem to be hurt in Phila-
delphia, and If he could fall from so
high position as the "grandson of a
signer'' without feeling any more than
he does, why should the great railroad
kings fear to fall? To come down to
plain facts, is not there real danger that
million or two of dollars for defence
would wipe out all fear of legal punis j.
ment in the courts of PENNSYLVANIA .
Under the circumstances is there any
wonder that stock should be low while
the banks are full of money?

Judge Hill Dying ON the Ben ch .
From The Aaalta Constitution.

At about 6 o'clock on Thursday even
ing, while the Superior Court was in ses-
sion liz Knoxville, Crawford county,
Jud ge Barnard Hill, the presiding Judge
died on the bench. A criminal trial had
just been concluded, and the jury had re-
turned verdict of guilty. They neglect
ed to give the value of the goods stolen,
and Judge Hill told them that they had
best retire and supply This part of the
verdict. They went out, and soon after
ward an attorney looked up and saw
Judge HilPs head thrown back on his
chair, deathly pallor overspreading his
countenance. Friends rushed to him,
but, with an easy gasp, his spirit passed
away, and he sat dead on the bench.-N

A POSSIBLE DEMOCRATIC MAJO-

A POSSIBLE DEMOCRATIC MAJO-
n Y RITY IN THE SENATE.
Our Washington correspondent con-
cludes bis last letter to the Gazette as
follows: ~ a n
The subject of the organization Of the
Senate is becoming intensely interesting
as the time approaches. 1t is probable
that the Republicans will have a bare
majority, but the majority will be, at
best, so small and so rent and paralyzed
by personal antagonisms and antipathy
towards the policy of the Administration
that many believe it will be ineffective
for any consistent or persistent Republi-
can policy. Mr.. Conkling has cried ha-
voc and let loose the dogs of war, and
Mr.. Blaine will not be outstripped by
his hereditary rival in opposition to the
Administration. The lame Western Vul-
can is paralyzed at home, and in spite of
the favorable press reports in regard 10
his improved health, the opinion of the
better informed here is that he will re-
turn to the Senate no more. If he should
die, Democrat would of course be ap-
pointed by Governor Williams, most pro-
badly Judge Holman or Hon. Daniel
Voorhees,. In the absence of the cham
pionship Of Senator Morton the hopes of
such candidates us Kellogg, of Louisiana,
and Corbin, of South Carolina, fall to
the ground. Sharon, of Nevada, is look
ing after his silver mines, and will not
reach here until December. Senator
Spencer is in the Black Hills, with a new
wife, growing up with the country, spec
ulating in gold mines, and l believe far
more anxious to be returned to the Sen
ate from the future State of Wyoming
than to longer misrepresent Alabama in
that body. Patterson, of South Caroli-
ma, is under cloud and in constant fear
of warrant from Governor Hampton
and, all chances considered, it will not be
surprising if the Democrats should have
a majority in the Senate Of the 45th Con-
gress. G. a. S.
