A Kentuckian'S Rich Find.

A special to the Louisville Erening
NeWs from Lebanon Junction says:
This place is excited to-day over the dis
covery of one of the richest
fields of lead-ore in the West,
which is located on the land
of William Dawson, a farmer, about two
miles east of Pitts Point, in this(Bul-
litt) county. The discovery was made
some days ago, but for reasons best
known to parties interested, the fact
vas kept very quiet until yesterday,
when a message came in requesting the
presence of Deputy County Clerk
Thompson at the residence of Mr.. Daw-
son, and it now appears that the object
in securing the Clerks services was to
draw up and take the acknowl-
edgment to lease of eighty
acres of land to Messrs. Cochrane
& Masden, of this place, for q term OF
twenty years, in consideration of Dawson
receiving one-third the total income
from the lead-mines, Messrs. Cochrane
g. Masden to furnish every thing in the
line of labor. tools, etc. Samples of the
ore have been thoroughly tested, and
the lead produced was found to be the
very best quality. The vein is reported
to be eight feet thick. This discovery,
it is thought by the business men, will
prove . big bonanza for Bullitt County
as well as for the owners of the enter
prise.

A Woman Burnt Alive as q Witch.

Early last month q woman named
Agrafena Ignatjeva was burned as q
witch by the peasants in the village Of
WratshevO, in the Government of Nov
gorod. 1t seems that the wretched wom-
an, who was the widow of a soldier,
had the reputation of being a sorceress
and witch, and strove to promote this
delusiOn by every means in her power.
The peasants of the whole neighboring
district had such dread of her powers
of mischief that they endeavored even
to anticipate her wishes, and although
an absolute pauper, she lived very COM
fortably or the contributions sp~Ontane.
ously made to her. There we're many
persons in the district suffering fronl
epilepsy, and it was popularity believed
that the witch had thus punished them
for offending her in some way.
One of these epileptic sufferers, a girl
from a distant village, besought some
peasants to burn the witch, and so re-
lease her from her sufferings. At an
assembly of headmen and seniors of the
villages it was resolved to extinguish
the source of mischief. They proceed
ed to her hut, which they found fastened
up. They broke it open, discovered the
wretched woman, charged her with
the crime, and then nailed up the win
dow and door to prevent her escape.
BY this time over 200 men had assem-
bled around the hut, and amid their jeers
and shouts of exultation it was set on
fire, and the whole crowd remained
until it was quite consumed. The sun
of 81 roubles and 90 copecks (nearly
$40 500 was collected and offered to
the rural policeman as a bride to secure
his silence. But he rejected it, and so
this terrible tragedy came to light

Lamb, q the solicitation Of q CITY &C.
quaintance, was induced 70 70 10 . public
dinner, but stipulated thas the latter was
to see him safely home. When the
banquet VA over, Lamb reminded bis
friend Of their Agreement. "But where
do you liver" asked the latter. "sTha,'s
your aHair," said Lamb; "you under.
took 70 see mi home, and ! hold you TO
the bargain" His friend, not liking To
leave Lamb to find bis gay alone, had
no choice bot TO take q hackney.coach,
drive to Islington, where he had vague
notion that Lamb resided, and trust TO
inquiry TO discover his house. This be
accomplished, but only after some hours
hsd been thus spent, during which
Lamb dryly and persistentiy refused TO
give the slightest clew or information In
aid OF lis companion.
Lamb was one Of the most punctual
Of men, although he new carried q
watch. A friend observing the absence
Of this usual adjunct Of q business mans
attire, presented him with . new gold
watch, which he accepted, and carried
for q day only. A colleague asked
Lamb what hsd become Of it. SPAWN
ed" was the reply. He had actually
pawned the watch. finding it a useless
incumbrance.
On one occasion Lamb arrived at the
Office at the usual hour, but omitted TO
sign the attendance book. About mid
dag he suddenly paused in his work,
and slapping his forehead as though IL
Illuminated by returning recollection, ex-
claimed, loudly: "Lamb! Lamb! l

book, iaterpola.ed his name.
On another occasion Lamb was OF
served to enter the Office hastily and in
an excited manner, assumed no doubt
for the occasion, and to leave by an OPP
positc door. He appeared no more that
day. He stated the next morning, in
explanation, that as he was passing
through Leadenhall Market on his way
to the office he accidentally trod on q
butchers heel. 81 apologized," said
Lamb, "to the butcher, but the latter
reto,ted: Yes, but your excuses won't
cure my broken heel, and me- said
he, Selling his knife, I'm have it out

and in dread of his pursuit dared not
remain for the rest of the day at the
India House. This story was accepted
as q humorous excuse for taking a holt
day without leave.
An unpopular head of q department
came to Lamb one day and inquired:

The Stage in the Glare of Day-Some An.
ecdOtes from ahe Prompter's Box.
From the New York Times.1
The arcana OF the stage have a fascina-
ton above most other mysteries, and the
assurance that any investigation of them
must lead to pitiless establishment
does not discourage or divert a prying
interest concerning them. To be pres
ent at a rehearsal, to see the undraped
stage from one of the wings, and to hear
how the Manager behaves toward his
company when mingling among them
without an audience, to be scandalized
by the conversation interpolated in the
text of the drama--this is a boon, sought
approximately, and through many chan
nels, above the most exhilarating of
other diversions, and the stage is prob
ably much better for the fact that it is
seldom granted. At any rate, rehears-
ais are not so cheerful or stimulating.
The stage undraped has the atmosphere
and vague dreariness of the primitive
theater-a barn; the auditorium, with
the lights out and the seats vacant, gapes
with magniied emptiness, and the man.
ager is apt to be brusque and dogmatic.
If one is captivated by the sweet as
pect of some favorite actress, who has
been known to him only from ''the front
of the house," imagine the bitter diseu-
chantment he would suffer were the
manner of her professional intercourse
with the manager at rehearsals disclos-
ed. She Erecting q new part)-"I
have sacrificed every thing to
Henry my maiden innocence,
my hopes of happiness, NY" The
Manager (severely)-" Stop! When
you say Il have sacrificed every thing
to Henry you must make q resigned
gesture, as if you felt the sacrifice to be
worth something; and when you say
'my maiden innocence try and avoid
smiling, as you did just now" She
(mad)-"I don't do any thing of the
sort" "Then it was the gas that made
it seer So" retorts the Manager, and q
minute later he attacks another actress
in this fashion: Miss Montmorency,

PARM TOPICS.
HOW TO MAKE A LAWN.

A correspondent writing in the Hus-
bandman says: In our climate, with
its hot suns and long, fierce summer
drougbts, a deep, rich soil is essential
for a fine lawn. Thorough preparation
in the way Of draining, deep plough
ing and liberal fertilizing are the pre-
paratory steps, and must be taken If we
would have our lawn maintain a con-
tinued green throughout the summer.
1t is the only foundation of success
with lawns in this climate. To avoid
the trouble of annual weeds it is a good
plan to seed tho ground in the fall. II
there has been much grading and filling
in it is better to wait until spring, when
the settled surface can be smoothed
and the seed sown. 1t is q good plan
to roll lawns, whether new or old, in
spring, to smooth the surface and tiller
the grass. Top-dressing is essential.
and finely decomposed compost should
be applied, or q mixture of guano and
superphosphate of lime. Avoid all
coarse or lumpy manure. Keep the
grass cut short from the first, to cause
it to grow thick and form . dense car
pet. If you want q fine lawn you al
not adopt the practice of letting the
grass grow tall and cutting it for hay.
After many trials 1 can recommend the
following selection of seed as one that
will give the best results: For one acre,
two bushels of Kentucky blue grass,
one bushel of red-top, one peck timo-
thy and four pounds white clover.
Where the soil Is very dry and gravelly
the white clover should be increased.
A PEST THAT NAY BE EXTERMIN-

ton of the backs of the CATTLE . number

larva Of Estyus boris, the cattle gad-iy.
This fly is something similar in shape
to 3 bee, and worries cattle in August
and September by singing them along
the back and depositing eggs in the skin.
The cattle have an instructive dread of
this fly, and endeavor to avoid it BY
darting hither and thither furiousiy
when attacked BY it. This u=wonfed
exercise is q great injury to milking
cows, and In many cases is undoubtedly
the cause of mysterious shrinkings Of
milk. Besides this injury, the poor
beasts suffer greatly from the irritation
