George Weatherwax, brakeman
upon the L. S. & NJ. S. road, and Mrs.
Alice Phelps, both having seperate codju-
gal relations, but both families occupying
apartments in the same house, III this viii
lage, conceived an illegitemate regard for
one another, and went to Cleveland, and to
one of its bagnios, on Monday night la St
for its indulgence. Unfortunately, the
husband of Mrs. Phelps found it needful
to go to Cleveland also, at the same time,
and employing police aid, shtdowed the
gay Lothario as he left his train. Soon the
parties meet in the park, and together
made for, and entered No. II, Lake Street.
Phelps ald the officers soon entered and
arrested the pair and they were led to po-
lice quarters. Here they were detained until
Tuesday afternoon, when they were exam
ened. The officer, Mr. Phelps. and the
landlady Of the house at which the parties
put up, were witnesses. Weatherwax tes-
titled that he paid the woman's fare to
Cleveland from PaineSville, and that they
had met two or three times since she left
her home on Thursday last, on one oeca-
sion taking breakfast together at a coffee
house. Both defendants denied that any
criminal intimacy had ever existed between
them. either in Ashtabula or in Cleveland,
and that they retired in the same room be-
cause the room was cold. Weatherwax
also testified that he had loaned Mrs
Phelps some money since her arrival
in Cleveland. Judge Updegraff reserved
his decision until Wednesday, and fixed
the bail in the case Of Mrs. Phelps at $500
Security was afterward furnished and the
women released. Weatherwax obtained
bail during the morning.

Farm Notes.

There is no stock on the farm
that costs SO little and pays SO
well as sheep.
The great English agricultural
writer and practical farmer (Jethro
Tull). living and writing one hun
bred years ago, held that frequent
blowing and stirring of the soil
was equivalent to a liberal coat OF
manure.
Worms in horses are caused
from hard work, poor food and
general neglect. For ordinary
cases of worms, common salt, nu-
tritious food and pure water will
prove satisfactory. Salt should al
ways be kept in the stalls of horses
The powers of carbolic acid to
arrest fermentation and putrefac-
ton are well known. But its odor
is to most persons decidedly often
sive; and if taken internally, even
in minute doses, it is apt to pro-
duce very serious results. Accor.
ding to the recent investigation Of
Professors Kobe, KNAPP and others
salicylic acid possesses the same
antiseptic power without the &C
companying disadvantages. 1t Ii

and can be taken internally ever
in relatively large doses withou
injurious effects. 1t will, therefore
doubtless prove of great value il
preserving meats, eggs, fruits, pre-
serves, beverages, medicinal pre-
parations, inks and great variet
of organic matters from mouldines
or putrefaction. One part OF tn
acid is capable of preserving 70

Small Flock.

"Oh, can't 90 anything VIII
sheep. l can't keep no more than
a dozen and you know it don't pay
to bother with that few"
Now we don't know anything OF
the kind; Indeed we know exactly
the reverse. Small fiocks of sheep
on every farm in the country can
be made source of profit and they
are an important integer In the
plan of diversifcation. Because
man cannot keep five hundred, a
thousand or five thousand sheep
it is no reason why he may not sue
cessfully keep fifty, or even FIVE.
We should be lost on farm Of
any size without flock of sheep.
We should need them i'll the pas
ture, at times, to destroy briars,
thistles and coarse grass, which
other stock will not eat. We
might utilize them by allowing
them to clear a field of bushes,
briars and other noxious weeds.
We should use them in preparing
ground for turnips, beets, potatoes
and the coarser garden truck.
We would take pride in keeping
them tame and fat. Their WOO
would bring cash every year or the
women folks could convert a mod
crate quantity into clothing, stock
imgs and yarn. A tender lamb OF
a juicy mutton upon our table, al
frequent intervals, would be {
