A policeman having been called
upon to shoot a dog in n yard on
Brush street yesterday, took Il seat
on the fence, drew up his legs ont Of
danger, and remarked to himself as
he took aim: "The seat of vitality
is the heart, and here goes A COW
in the lot beyond, threw up her
head and went galoping around,
and the dog trotted over the yard as
if perfectly at home. The officer
observed as he got ready for the
second time:
"lhe fear of death is often as
strongly exhibited in beast as in man
and their dying agonies have been
known to bring tears to the eyes
OF their executors Bang! A woman
who was working up an old knot
IN the alley flung down the axe, put
her head over the fence and warned
the policeman that she didn't want
to be bothered any more, though
she wouldn't object to his shooting
up IN the air if the police regulations
required it.

resumed the officer as he brought
the revolver down again, "and that

The smoke had scarcely lifted when

Clear Case of Retr.1atiOn.

Does it not look a measure Of re-
triqution that the bones of the late
A. 7. Stwart, Of New York, should
have been dug up and carted about
the country, us they now are, when
it is remembered how he treated the
remains of people buried in the
churchyard, corner of Amity street
and Wooster, when he transformed
the church properly into a stable for
his horses. 1t appears that when
the people heard that Mr.. Stewart
had purchased the church property,
and was going to turn it into a sta
bic, they were very much shocked;
but when they found that he was
actually descecrating the graves, the
Indignation became 50 great that,
in order to appease it, Stewart prom,
ised to bury the bones, but this not
being satisfactory, he called upon
the police, who dispersed the indig-
nant crowds, and it is said had the
bones dumped in with the material
taken from the cellar in q general
dump. His di3cration Of many
graves on Amity street seems to be
the measure hat is melted out his
own remains-a kind of judgement,
as it were.-Boston Herald.

4 New Industry In Lincoln County
Mississippi,
SUGAR MAKING BY MIR. c. MENaLAs-
A MODEL, FARM.

SUGAR MAKING BY MIR. c. MENaLAs-
MODEL FARM,
Monday last, upon invitation of
Mr., {, Mcnelas, several ladies and
gentlemen visited his place TO wit
ness the process OF sugar making
by his new centrifugal. The ma.
chine produced from black, larry
like Jumps, q spcndid article Of
brown sugar, such as now sells in
the market tor Il bit 4 pound. All
who witnessed the operation were
delighted and watched it with in
tCrcSt'
Mr., Menelas, assisted by Col.
Danl bennett, made one or two
previous efforts to make sugar, but
was not successful, because he had
used the common sorghum cane
Since the frost, he cut his Louisi-
ana scanc, ground it and boiled
the juice up to 235 degrees, then
ran II in tubs whore it Immediately
cryStaIized into dark sugar. The
ccntritugaI-which is nothing more
than a machine to clrrily the sugar
by separating it from the molasscs
was the brought in use, and the
experiment proved entirely success
tul. Since then Mr.. NJ. has made
many barrels OF excellent sugar.
fle has grown three varieties of.
cane on his farm, the Gooscueek,
Hondu,as and Louisiana, and has
made splendid molasSes from each,
and sugar from the last named.
Sugar making is a new industry
i'm Mississippi, and now hat Mr..
MeneIaS has shown that it can he
made successful, we hope that 9TH
er of our planting friends will give
it attention Next year Mr.. NJ.
will be prepared to make sugar on
toll for all who take him Louisiana
syrup.
A visitor to "BarchcIor's Hail."
the name Mr.. MencIaS has given
his home, is struck with the thrifty
appearance Of the place. A little
OF everything that the soil wall pro-
duce, Is grown, and stock Of all
kinds is rascd. Those Of our farm
ing friends who adhere to the old
method Of planting cotton almost
TO the exclusion OF everything else,
would learn a valuable lesson by
visiting Mr.. McncIas' farm in har-
