IN tTdVeIlnS over Ine country anu 90
serving the stacking, one is convinced
that there is lack in the practice. We
do not know whether it arises from
want of knowledge in regard to this
important part of farm work, or indif-
ference, but we are certain that it causes
u heavy leak in the finances of many
farmers, to say nothing of domestic
trouble arising from poor flour, the re-
suit of improper practice in taking care
of the harvest. The first requisite is
good shocking, which never can be &C.
complished without good binding. All
sheaves should be tight and straight.
Too many binders have habit of leav-
ing all their sheaves in twist and too
loosely bound, which makes it impossi-
bic to put up a snug shock and one
that will stand. Spoiled shocks is a
prelude to spoiled stacks. 1t is Just as
easy to turn the knot on the bands IN
DGru when shocking, as outward-as
that is the point where injury is pretty
sure to creep in. Don't say this is too
much trouble, or that you can I remem-
Der. Ii you follow this practice per-
sistently one season, it will become such
a habit that you will do it without
thought.
In stacking, the first important thing
is to have the bottom level, and a prop
er distance from the ground. II is
dangerous to depend upon leveling
with grain, as the stack will be sure to
settle to that side. Another fruitful
cause OF stacks settling to one side is u
lack OF energy or muscle in pitching,
causing the sheavcs to land on the side
instead of the center of the stack.
Some claim to remedy this by leaning
the stack slightly to the side On which
the pitching is done, on the SUPPOSE
ton that because this side is packed
down the closest the other will settle
the most, but we have seen the weight
Of grain shelled from the sheayes, carry
the stack badly to that side The raiy

A YOraciOus Insect.

Some two weeks ago curious little
animal was caught in pool of water,
at Mr.. Frank Ramsey's, in Plymouth
Township, and presented to DR.. c. S.
Baker, of this borough, who placed it
in his aquarium. 1t is about two inches
long and less than an inch broad, with
six crooked legs. Its color is dark
brown, and large, prominent black eyes.
The back is marked as though undevel.
oped wings were hidden beneath its
hard outer coat. 1t swims readily, but
generally fixes itself to stone or some
other object, to which it clings with
its two hinder pairs of legs, holding its
head downward and its fore legs raised.
1t has a sting or lance like mosquito,
which it only thrusts out when attack
ng its prey.
After having been placed in the
aquarium it remained quiet for several
days, during which time it was not seen
to eat anything. On Friday, the 21st Of
June, it made an attempt upon little
terrapin, much larger, however, than
itself, which it caug hit by the head with
its forefeet, running its lance into his
neck. He soon died, and his destroyer
dragged him to a brick In the center Of
the aquarium. Then, fixing itself on
the brick in its favorite attitude, it held
the terrapin for twenty-four hours, and
seemed to be sucking its blood. How
much longer he would have held him
is uncertain, for its prey was then taken
away. When it is remembered thai
the weight of the terrapin was several
times its own. the strength of the insect
may be imagined.
On the following Sunday it sprane
upon water snake eleven inches long
The battle was brief and exciting. Thu
insect pursued its former method of at
tack. It made q dive, caught him
sideways near the neck, twisted his
head around and thrust its lance int
his throat, quickly killing him. Their

held its prey suspended until compelled

A Thrilling Ride for Life.

ANDY BAKER arrived here on Satur-
day evening with the mail. He fur
nishes further particulars of the death of
George McCuthan, the driver, at the
hands of the savages. When he saw
the band of Indians making toward
him he wheeled round in an instant and
put his four horses on the full run in
the direction of Dry Creek. 1t was
race for life.
Although the horses were the best
stock on the road, it could not be ex-
pected that they would maintain the
ascendancy in speed with such a heavy
load to pull and the savages pursuing
them on horseback.
But the driver and his passenger,
knowing the fate that was in store for
them if they fell into savage hands,
pushed along for few minutes at a
lightning rate. The bullets of the pur-
suing savages were whizzing round
them thick and fast, but they needed
them not. They were appalled,, how
| ever. at the fact that the distance was
gradually lessening between the pur-
suers and the pursued, but in this dire
emergency their GOODNESS did not desert
them.
The demoniac yells of the savages
| were now heard close to their rear.
The distance sped overwas about three
miles, and then began a new phase of
the struggle for life.
1t was but the work of an instant for
driver and passenger to jump from the
stage and cut loose the leaders. This
they did, and each man mounting a
horse sped onward, leaving the stage
and the other two horses behind them.
They now seemed in a fair way to es-
cape. The savages kept right on after
them, seeming not satisfied with the
booty that had been left them. About
two miles had been made when an UNI
lOOked-fOr accident occurred. The
horses were still carrying all their har-
ness, and being thus encountered, the
one ridden by the driver stumbled and
fell. He did not drag the other horse
down with him, although the horses
were still connected with the harness
rs when attached to the wagon. The
horse ridden by young Hamilton de-
tached himself, and he was left to keep
| up the race alone. Poor McCuthan
had not time to get his horse up and
mount him.
The savages were already upon him,
and Immediately began their brutal and
torturing work, killing him by slow
process and mutilating his body. One
of his eyes was gouged out. The fiends
took his watch, ritled his pockets and
left the disfigured body near by. The
mail sacks on the stage were subse-
quently cut open and their contents
either appropriated or destroyed.
Hamilton was pursued short dis
lance, but the chase was given up. He
ran his horse several miles further,
taking to the sage brush. When oppo-
site Dry Creek the animal sank from
exhaustion. Hamilton made his way
on foot TO the Dry Creek Station, got a
fresh horse and he and the stock tender
started on, warning the few settlers
along the road of the impending danger.

The trite story about the success
full lawyer who took the oyster and gave
his client the shell, is pat to the case of
Mr.. Warren Il. CLARK, of Rochester,
who succeeded recently in breaking the
will of his sister, Mrs. Mary X. Proc
tor. Mrs. Proctor willed all her prop
erty to charitable institutions. with the
exception of farm in New Jersey,
which she left to her brother. After a
long litigation, the will was set aside,
the personal property going to the hus-
band, and house in Rochester TO Mr..
Clark. The lawyers who had won the
victory ut once attached the house on .,
claim for $4,000 with interest from
June II. They aver that Mr.. Clark
contracted to pay them $4,000 for
breaking the will. Clark is worse off
than if he had not broken it, as the
house cannot be sold for $50, 900. and
he is not sure that the lawyers would
be willing to take the New jersey farm
in addition and call il square.--N y

W. VI ~, WCIc SOiuS AlOAl
a favorite watering-place in North
Devon to a village OF, the coast hear,
in their little pleasure-boat. The wealth
err becoming very rough, they had some
difficulty in managing their tiny craft,
and Mr.. G. had to assist the men
to lend hand. He was wearing val
liable diamond ring "a memorial ring
to Lord R., once a most popular
and Justly esteemed parsonage in Dew
on), and having great regard for his
ring, both on account of its worth and
for his old friends sake, he took 1t of
and gave It to his wife to take care Of.
She put it on her finger, but becoming
very much alarmed at the weather,
quite forgot all about it till she was
safely landed on l. beach. She
then had time to remember it. but to
her dismay it was gone. Every search
was made, and continued for many
days, but unavailingly. Nothing more
was seen of it until 1870. During that
summer, some children Of = family
lodging in the village, while amusing
themselves on the beach, picked up the
ring, which although it had been either
in the sea or among the rocks for thir-
teen years, was perfectly uninjured,
looking as bright and fresh as if it had
only just then dropped. Strange to
say the lady who had lost it was (acci-
dentally) almost the first person to
whom it was shown. Jour-
