Dusen, Balleau and Sampson left this city for
Germany in 1875. They established in louisa

malpractice until they were discovered by the
police. When the officers entered the house they

imprisonment in New York The story of his
bold attempt to swindle the Merchants Life In
surance Company is still fresh in the minds Of
many in this city. Under the name of DR.. Ernest
Ulng he kept an Office at No 95 Second avenue
as training for midwives. He was suspected OF
teaching malpractice, but was not arrested for
that otiense. In june 1873 he obtained a Joint
life policy iorSl00O0 in the Merchants Life Insur-
ance Company for himself and Louisa Germs, a
girl whom he had taken under his care He paid
two premiums OF S1096S each during the year.
He then caused the girl to assume DEATH keeping
her under the influence of drug until prepara-
tiOns were made for her funeral. A coffin filed
with bricks was buried under the pretense that it
contained the body, and he took the necessary
steps to obtain the $40 900 from the Life Insurance
Company. The Company however refused to
pay the amount. on the ground that there was
some supicions that the girl had been murdered,
Permission was granted to exhume the coffin and
the fraud was exposed Louisa Germs was alter
wards found and made a confession of compile
ity in the attempt to swinde the Company. DR.,
Bagnitcky was sentenced to eighteen months i'm.

Manuring corn in the hill has the
effect on poor soil Of pushing the crop
forward IN the start. Hog manure in
particular will do this. The effect il
quite wonderful, but IL gradually dig-
appears, and in the fall, when the crop IL
gathered, little If any difference Is seen
between the MANFRED and unmanured
and 1T IL a permanent impression that
IS wanted, and this will be the better
secured by applying the manure broad
cast, The reason Of this will be seen
when II il considered that the roots OF
the corn after IL has grown, spread out
in all directions, occupying with Il nets
work the whole extent OF the ground.
Hence the benefit Of working the ground,
RI also Of broadcast m%anuring This ex
plains why working between the rows,
and leaving unstirred the coil In inn
mediate or near contact with the hills,
proves a success, 1t also explains why
corn thriyes upon sod the sod IA every

Manure, however, has a benefit when
applied in the hill. II will attract or
furnish moisture and give increased
force to the plant, thus tayoring it in
a dr0uth and starting it the sooner, just
rs any rich ground will do. The better
way is 10 follow the plow with an evenly
spread coat Of manure, giving time
enough to wash out the soluble parts
before planting, where sod IL turned
down for manure, and the surace soil
needs a stimulant TO start the seed. The
better way, however, is 10 turn down
the GOD early enough and to follow with
n coat OF manure or ONE fertilizer, AZ
corn will do better for the increased
richness, there being sufficient at the
uriace to start well the crOp without our

be weIl-sustained growth from the time
Of planting to the end of the season, the
