DOOMED TO DIE.
John Achey Found Guilty Of Murder and
Consigned to the Gallows.
rhe Prisoner Thinks It Don's Make ANY
Difference anyhow.

The trial OF John Achey for the murder OF
George Leggett was concluded and went TO
the jury yesterday afternoon. At little
before 10 o'clock last night the jury notified
the court through the bsilif that verdict
had been agreed upon, and in a few minutes
the court and prosecutor and the defendant
and his attorney were assembled in the court
roorn anxiously awaiting the decision which
shouId determine the fate of the accused.
The clerk read the verdict, which was IN
the usual form, finding the defendant
'Iguilty of murder" and fixing the penalty
as death by hanging" The jury was then
polled, and to the question, rs this your
yerdlct7' each responded 1T is.
The Defendant received the verdict in
silence as though he had braced himself for
the shock, and giving little, If any, signs
of excitement or unusual interest. bis at
torneys at once interpOsed motion Tor
new trial, and the balif conducted the de-
fendart back TO jail: AS ne was gong from
the court house 10 the Jail he said, Leg IL
got me INTO the trouble and after a man
gets to be as old as / am guess 1t 1Jn't

But few spectators were in the court room
when the verdict was returned, and no great
amount of interest was exhibited.
Later in the night the verdict was the gen.
and in places OF public resort, and as far
as could be ascertained the sentiment was
decidedly in favor OF the law taxing us
course. A number of men were odfer ing TO
bet that the governor would commute the
punishment, and that the verdict would
not be carried out
THE CRIME.
The facts attending the murder are all
fresh in the public mind, and have been re-
published in the last few days. They are
briefly as follows: Tuesday, July is, John
Acby was sitting In frontof Chaplin q Cores,
on North Illinois street. Leggettp passed him
and walked into the saloon. Achey
followed, and with scarcely word
of warning, shot him dead.
The trial commenced last Monday and the
case went to the jury at little before 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. the jury return
ing verdict a few minutes before l0o clock,
as stated above. The jury exhibited great
unsnimity, the only point OF difference De;
ing on the penalty, and that, as stated
above. was Ieached by infictng the ex-
treme penalty known to the law.

Victory for the Patent Tan.

The Asheville Pioneer Of last
week gives the following as the re
suit Of a recent visit to the North
BY Mr. H. III. Webb Of this place,
the proprietor Of the Patent Tan
ming Process in this section
s.Mr. ii. H.. Webb, the pioneer
tanner of Asheville, who has shown
a progressive. liberal public spirit,
and proposes in a short time to
enter into the manufacture OF leath-
er on an extensive scale, has just
arrived at home from the North IN
aiubilant frame Of mind. Tanners
are proverbially suspicious of patent
processes in tanning, and although
Mr.. Webb had satisfied himself of
the value and utility OF the Barnes
& Yocome patent, and had, IN com
mon with many others, given a
professional testimonial of It's eX-
c~ellcnce IN the rapid manufacture
of leather, vet he was nervous when
his leather, tanned by the process,
was put to the test by the profess
SIGNALS at the workshops of the
North. He went to see it tested.
He did not tell them how it was
tanned. but told them to try his
leather. After a thorough eXami-
nation, and severe and scrutinizing
tests. he was offered Il large advance
on the regular market price for his
stock, and it was admitted by all to
be superior to any on the market.
The famed sheepskins, by the
Barnes process, were actually pro-
nounced tirst-class goat and calf
skins by the Northern professionals;
and his trip has broken down the
prejudice of Eastern houses. When
it is considered that by the Barnes
process it only requires days to tan
leather where il requires months by
the old method, and that the leath-
er is more lasting and durable, the
value of this invention is incalcula-
BILE. 1t is a fortune to the paten-
tees and Il blessing to the people,
as it will certainly cheaper leather
and make shoes and other pedal
appendages cheaper for the mil
| hon."

Hardening Butter.

We had the pleasure Of meeting
an English gentleman the other
day. who is prominently identified
with the butter-making interest IN
England, besides having 4 wide
and extensive experience with
cheese and butter dairies IN Scot
land. In the course Of converse
ton he informed rs what would be
the softest butter may be made
firm and solid by the use Of car
Donate of soda and alum, made into
a powder. For twenty pounds of
butter. one teaspoonful of carbon
ate of lime and one powdered alum
are mingled thoroughly together
and put into the cream at the time
of churning.
Upon investigation we find that
the effect of this powder makes the
butter firm and solid when it comes
and not only this, but imparts to 1T
a clean, sweet flavor. W. found it
did not enter into the butter, but
its action was upon the cream ex-
cluSlvelv, and the whole amount
passes off with the buttermilk. The
ingredients of the powder should
not be mixed until wanted for use,
or at the time the cream is already
in the chu n.
Feed the animals about to give
birth to their young with bran
mashes, containing about a tea
spoonful of gunpowder, and you
will seldom be troubled by having
them retain their afterbirth.
Should it not come away at once
after the young have been dropped,
do not resort to any mechanical
means, but continue the treatment,
it will not fail in one case out of

pletcd have a little mound with
the tree in the centre. Set all the
trees a little deeper, if any thing
than they we're before taken.
1t has been said that to insure a
healthy growth the trees should be
planted IN the orchard in the same
relative position to the points OF
the compass as they stood IN the
nursery. Our opinion is that this
is one of the old notions; however,
if it does no good it cannot DO
harm: hence it would be well
enough, if thought best, to mark
each tree when taken up, and plant
it in the same position, Y ideas
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
At this season of the year 1T is
an excellent plan to pile up the
earth ten inches or foot high and
three or four feet broad, which will
not only protect the tender roots,
bat act as a protection from the
winds and frost, as well as keeping
vermin from the bark. This little
mound can easily be removed IN
the Spring when the tree com
mences to grow, which will not
often be until after the ground has
become well settled.
Trim all trees before planting.
All the leading shoots should be
shortened back one-half or two
thirds of this years growth; if the
roots have been much injured by
taking up the principal branches
will bear still greater pruning. In
any event, do the work intelligent

Q to Can Fruit.

Glass and stone jars are the only
kinds to use (for the acid Of fruits
will not be nealthful if preserved
in tiny, and they can be purchased
very cheaplv. Nearly all the fruits
retain their flavor better if they are
not 50 much broken up. To four
pounds OF the fruit, take one pound
of lump sugar, as it is less subject
to adulteration. Fill the jars within
two inches of the top with the fruit;
melt the sugar in very little water,
and turn it boiling hot upon the
fruit, place the jars in a pan of
boiling water, and let them steam
about ten minutes, or until the
fruit, by the expulsion Of the cold
air, has been forced to che top Of
the jar; put the cover on at once,
with a cloth, SO as not to burn your
hands, and screw it down tightly
while in the boiling water; set the
jars on the table to cool, and if any
bubbles appear in them, take off
the covers and boil again until the
frult Is again forced upwards.
Fruit canned in this manner will
keep for years, and retain its flavor
perfectly. Tomatoes can be pre-
served in stone jars with great
success. Stew them for two hours
in the jars, in the oven or in pans
of boiling water, filling them up as
the juice evaporates, then cover
with a cotton cloth, and put in the
large corks that came with them,
SO as to prevent the hot air from
escaping. Make a sealing-wax Of
a pound Of rosin. two ounces of
beeswaX and two ounces of mutton
tallow, all melted together. Put
it on while hoe, with a brush Gov
ering the cork and the sides of the
jar completely. Keep in a dry,
cool cellar. -Albany C~u7tirator.

Tonic for Fowls.

Some kind Of tonic iii the drink
ing water Of poultry should at this
period Of the year be used, for their
benefit, and to aid their digestion.
During the moulting process, and
while the new coating OF plumage
is growing-though not actually
diseased, as some persons suppose
is the case, from their languid and
changed appearance-they are ''out
of condition." decidedly.
Common Tincture of Iron, "a few
drops daily, mixed with the fresh
water given them, is excellent.
Where this cannot be readily had,
half a dozen rusty iron nails in the
bottom of the drinking vessel, will
serve this purpose we'll.
A bit of asafcatida secured within
the fountain or bucket they drink
from, is very good. And in the
colder weather-when the moul :
ing time is passed. pinch of
Cayenne pepper IN the water IS
desirable and beneficial.
Whatever is used for this pur-
pose, it should be placed in their
drink afresh, when the water is
changed every day. Otherwise it
will quickly make their drink Of
fensiye to them--especially IN hot
weather World.

Planting Trees.

The season for fall planting will
soon be upon us, and a few timely
hints will not be out of place now.
After the land has been selected
and prepared, the first thing to be
done is to be done is to make your
selection of varieties. This can be
done to the best advantage by con-
sulting the markets and seeing
which kinds are in best demand at
the best prices. Having made
your selection, then so to some
reputable nurseryman (there III
lots of honest men among them),
the nearer home the better, tell him
what you want, and see that they
are properly taken up and packed.
By all means, avoid sending to a
distance for stock, for in ninety
per cent. of cases you can not only
do just as well nearer home, but
are much more certain of the trees
making vigorous growth from the
very start.
When the trees arrive, go your
self with a man and a good stout
boy, and go about it in a business
way. Before the roots are put into
the hole, dip them into mud made
of the rich surface mold this will
cause the earth to adhere to all
their parts. This done, place the
trees gently up and down, which
