murdered Anton Miller, near that city,
April 20, having been acquitted. The
confessions of two of them, in which
they declared that three OF the Others
were the murderers, were repudiated by

A despatch from North Adams, Mass,
states that Williams College has had an
uproar, that two members of the Junior
class have already been suspended, and
that more suspensions are anticipated.
The trouble originated in the refusal of a
junior, who acted as ajanitor of the chap

bourne to light the lamps, for which he
was suspended. he was placed In car
riage and escorted IN the depot by his
class, where infiammatory speeches were

THE SHARP PRACTICE of the imitation
period has been illustrated In the most
glaring way through the high salaries of
the railroad and life insurance companies.
Men who were comparatively useless for
all practicable purposes have been given
salaries that would have called blush to
the cheek Of almost any modern intellect
ual Hercules to ask twenty years ago.
In fact the most able, wise and learned,
as well as the most skillful of the land,
less than two decades back, were ready
to engage the. 'srvices to the most diff
cult duties at six thousand dollars. And
outside of these extensive corporations
this is the case now.
We have been led to these predatory
remarks by the statement THAI the salary
of Mr.. f. b. Gowen, of the Pennsylvanis
and Reading r. R., had been reduced
from S28,000 to $500 year,
This mans services has been an actua
injury 10 the road. and has impoverished
thousands of its stockholderst and it ID
even doubtful whether the calamity does
not extend to the bondholders also. The
speculative investments in coal lands and
the mortgage interest has brought such
drain upon the road that 1t Is more
than likely it viii yet result In putting i,
into the hands Of a receiver. II in good
times Mr.. Goysn suffered floating
debt of $500, ,0O0t to accommodates how h
it possible for himto pay interest and ex,
penses in these disastrous times
Mr.. Gowen played false hand toward
his stockholders, while he was running
his road in debt. 1t is shameful to think
of man paying ten per cent. .dividends
while he is piling up his liabilities noun,
tains high. We know poor widows who
were led by these high premiums to buy
Reading" at s54; when in fact it was
not worth sl4, and not long after went
down TO the latter sum; and il Is doubt
ful if it is worth 81. Before the war il
sunk to SIG. Tho war demands made il
valuable for time and the paper infla
tion kept it up longer. But Mr.. Gowen'
expenditure ofmany millions in purchas,
of coal lands has almost extinguished tn,
last lingering hope of stocRholder.

Farm Life,

Ii is common complaint that the
farm and farm life are not appreciated
by our people. We long for the more
elegant pursuits, or the WAYS and fash
ions of the town. But the farmer has
the most sane and natural occupation,
and ought TO find life sweeter, if less
highly seasoned, than any other. lie
alone, strictly speaking, has a home.
How CAN man take root and thrive
without land? He writes his history
upon his field. How many ties, how
many resources he has; his friendships
with his cattle, his team, his dog, his
trees, the satisfaction in his growing
crops, in his improved fields; his intim.
acy with Nature, with bird and bea ST
and with the quickening elemental
forces: his corporations with the cloud
the sun, the season, heat, wind, rain.
frost. Nothing Will take the various
social distempers which the city and
artificial life breed out of a man like
farming, like direct and loving contact
with the soil. 1t draws out the poison
Ii humbles him, teaches him patience
and reverence, and restores the proper
tone to his system.
Cling to the farm, make much of it
put yourself into it, bestow your hear
and your brain upon it. so that it shall
SAVIOR of you and radiate your virtue af

A correspondent of the New York
Times says that what cranbe rries need
is swamp muck, or vegetable mold.
The roots of cranberries are very fine
and short. They also want an acid or
sour soil, in order to bear fruit. Hence,
you must not manure the land, as this
makes the vines grow too rank. and
they will not bear. Manure also auses
the weeds to grow. Taking off the
turf and ditching it gradually sweetens
the surface, especially if exposed to
to trosts. Sometimes the vines grow
too rank. The only remedy in that case
is to spread one inch of dry sand every
year, Immediately after picking The
berries. and keep on doing so until they
bear satisfactorily. l know of no pos
sible way to make a cranberry patch a
success on a wild grass meadow, ex-
cept by flooding it one or more years
to kill the grass entirely; then sand
with clean white sand lightly-not over
four inches; the deeper the muck the
more sand you will have to put on in
time TO prevent the vines from growing
too rank. But you must not put ON
much at first, because the roots OF the
plants want to reach the muck, and,
because if the muck is soft the sand will
sink, aud it is necessary to mat the
ground first. Never take cold,
epringy piece of ground for cranberries !;
it costs too much for embarrassing and
for wedding grass.

Sew s!ea. SEEDS.

Were the seeds of our common weeds
as large as pumpkin seeds. there would
probably be less ignorance manifested
concerning the origin OF weeds in our
gardens aud cultivated fields. Many
people who are considered men of good
sound Judgment in ordinary matters.
really believe that weeds spring up
fIom the ground without having been
planted by the parent weed that weeds
grow without seeds. Well. perhaps
they did once. for it is still an open
custom, which is the first, The plant or
the seed, the hen or the egg: But at
present, we have no reason 10 believe
that field that is entirely free from
weed seeds will grow weeds until the
seeds are in some way planted there.
The fact is, we are too careless in our
habits of observation. We look at the
outside Of things, or at least, on but
one side. but we fail too look at sub
ject in all its details. We SOW wheat
and chess seed from the same measure.
and yet as the wheat is the larger, we
look at that only, leaving the chess
seed unnoticed. SO we scatter millions
of seeds, of the wild turnip with our
oats and barely, but do not notice it
Till the yellow blossoms appear in the
field. With the excellent machines
now made for cleaning grain. there
should be no excuse for sowing any
other seeds than those we wish should
grow. 1t will often pay to clean a
small quantity of grain at considerable
expense, Tor tho sake of having some
thing fit to raise seed from. Some of
our best farmers grow a small patch
OF potatoes or corn, wheat. or other
grain. expressly for next years plant
ing, and in this way improve their
varieties from year TO year, and the
practice may be highly recommended.
Now is the time to secure wheat and
rye for seeding.-N. T.. Faymer.
