A Ducking.StOOI.

In the crypt of Warwick church, the
mighty arches of which spring from
one enormous pier, there is an article
which has long gone out of use-wheth-
er advantageously or not, l shall not
venture to say-a ducking.stool, made
for the public discipline of scolding
women. This is one of the only two, l
believe, that remain in England. 1t
consists of a strong oaken frame on low
wheels, from which Il seat rises from an
inclined beam that works upon IA pivot
or axle. The scold was lashed into the
seGt, and then the institution" was
drawn to the river side at a conven-
iently deep place, and rolled in until
the patient sat just above the water.
Then the land end of the beam was
tipped up, and the other end, with its
lading, went down under the water,
where it was allowed to remain not too
long, and was then raised for breathing
time. This process was repeated as
often rs it was thought beneficial to the
lady under treatment, OF necessary for
the peace OF her family or neighbor-
hood. Whether husbands ever inter
fered for their wives thus disciplined,
as wives do now sometimes for hus-
bands who are u~nreasonably interfered
with in the gentle Sport Of biacking
their eyes or kicking their ribs, Is not
recorded.

colt occasionally to gentle him, taking
care, however, to slack the traces just
as he stops, and to turn a little to one
side when starting each time, while the
man pulls the opposite trace. After
this exercise let him be taken to the
cart or other vehicle for which he is in
tended; allow him to smell and exam
Inc 1t, then push it away and draw itup
to him several times, raising and lower
ing the shafts until he takes no notice
OF its noise, or of the different appearan-
ces when raised and lowered.
Now turn him around and put
him between the shafts, rub
them against his sides, push back
and draw up the cart, striking him be-
hind and on the sides with it, until he
allows himself to be knocked about
by it," SO to speak. This will do for one
days lesson. Next day let all his har-
ness be put on, leaving chains or straps
to hang and strike against him, while
the whole of the previous days lesson
is gone through step by step. Same on
third and fourth days. He my then be
yoked or hitched to the cart, and should
have at least n hours exercise in go
ing up and down hill, turning, etc. First
start on level ground. II these direc.
tons are carried out, the colt learns
that the vehicle he draws is not meant
to hurt him. and he will neve try to
"kick it away or "run of" from it.
Never try to beat a colt into doing a
thing, for, if nervous, he may turn out
a vicious horse, and if stupid he may
become stubborn. Remember that by
patience and gentleness he can be got
to do anything that will not hurt
him. When the horse shows signs OF
shying at an object, do not beat him,
but lead him up to il, allowing him to
stand and look, as he comes closer; and
after he examines it a few times he will
not fear anything CT the kind again.
In passing by hedges with a colt. throw
in stones and stop him until he takes
no notice of the noise. Before putting
on any article Of harness, let your colt
smell it, and then rub against his head,
neck and body. Always start a horse
with the voice, never with a cut of the
whip. In starting, turn a little to one
side, and in stopping, when going up a
hill, do the same.-London Agricultural
Gazette.

been made around the Latin powder
mills, and it is said that no accident is
apprehended. Reports from Moosic
indicate that the flames are under con-
troll, but the woods elsewhere are rap
idly disappearing.
Just now the only part of the west
that is wrapped in the smoke Of a
prairie-tire, Is the great Yellowstone
Valley, in Dakota. A few days ago the
wind all up and down the valley was
heavy with the smell of burning grass,
and the fire could be seen, day and
night, travelling with wonderful rapid
ity. School-houses, churches, dwelling
houses, barns, sheds and granaries had
in many places disappeared. In one
instance a shed fnll of poultry was
burned. Some Indian neighbors of the
farmers who owned them dropped in
after the fire and were sh OF in the act
of dining upon "fowl done to a turn"
The OF fighting the prairie fire
away from buildings is interesting. The
whole household run out, with carpets
torn to shreds, and beat back the sea by
means Of thin rags stepped in water.
One dash with a wet rag is equal to a
dozen buckets of water.
The fires on the foot hills Of the Cat
skills in the town Of Hurley, which have
been burning for several days past, are
extending. On Tuesday night, from
the Weinberg, it appeared AS if the
fires in the Lapala district were ascend
ing the Olive Mountains. The fires to
the north of Lapaia have extended in
that direction a considerable distance
the past two days, and the volume of
smoke from them almost hides the Cat
skill back Of them. Down the river,
back of Staatsburg, on the high land,
there is also a large fire in tho woods.
The usual cause of these mountain fires
is given in the Rondout Freeman, that
the huckleberry pickers start them, as
the first thing to grow on a burned dis
trict is a huckleberry bush.

Visions of Spring.
Burdettc.

the table and expresses his emotion by

prone as it looks. | whistle up the dog
of my neighbor. 1t is a young dog,
foolish in its general habits, %impulsive
to a fault, usually incorrect in its pre-
misses, faulty in It's deductions, and ut

rect the attention of the dog to the

eminently successful. The instinct Of
the brute would undoubtedly teach him
to shun a strong, healthy wasp, but as
this insect appears to be suffering from
a broken back the dog is confident of
an easy victory. After a short intro
ductory overture Of barks he advances
upon the buzzing victim and picks it
up. But how shall we despise the day
of small things? Without the sunshine
floods the dusty thoroughfare of Eighth
street with the glory of the spring, the
maple buds unfold and the white bios
SONS sparkle like summer snowdrops
on the cherry trees; a child in a clean
white dress and flannel leggings is fall
ing down the stairs of the house across
the way, and the man in the lot adjoin-
ing is trying to chase sever chickens
into n coop, while the seven chickens
with a fine burst of speed are endeav-
oring very successfully to distance the
man in seven different directions. No
one mar can head of seven chickens
under those circumstances. A woman
out calling" and evidently a little bit
lost as to locality, is standing with a
card-case in her hand, patiently knock
ing at the door of a house that has
been empty nearly eight weeks. The
wasp, evidently cheered and toned by
the skirmish, i. wheeling airily about
the room, singing in low, soft tones the
songs of other golden summer days.
How peaceful and summer-like the
picture.

When John Fenwick, who purchased
of Lord Berkly the counties Of Salem
and Cumberland, N. j., came to this
country in 1878, he brought with him
from England his daughter Elizabeth
Fenwick. She subsequently married
John Adams. Mary was a bright and
intelligent child, and was the idol of
her grandfather, the proprietor of the
colony, John Fenwick. Among those
who also accompanied Fenwick to the
country was a colored servant, John
Gould by name, who was rather moe
intelligent than the average of his
race at that time. Being thrown to-
gether, the colored servant Logan to
adore the white grandchild of the pro-
prietor Of the colony. The love must
have reciprocated, for before the
young lady reached 20 the two were
clandestinely married, and, purchasing
a tract of land in Cumberland county,
removed thereon. Fenwick was of
course indignant at the action Of his
beloved grandchild, and never forgave
her for the act. In his will he directed his
executors ''to bar Mary Adams from
having the least part of his estate, as
well as her heirs, forever, except the
lord open her eyes 10 see her abomina-
BILE transgression against him, me, and
her poor father, by giving her true re-
pentance and forsaking and renouncins
vt black vt hath been the ruin of her,
and becoming penitent for her sins; up
on vt condition only l do will and re-
quire my executors to settle 800 acres
OF land upon her, the said Mary Ad-
ANS" Soon after the decease of Fen
wick, Ann Adams husband, John
Gould, also died. 1t is handed down
by tradition that soon after her colored
husband was laid in the grave she went
into the graveyard and forsook her hus-
band by saying loudly to those who
had there assembled, II do hereby re-
nounce my husband" Ann Gould, nee
Adams, of course got her 500 acres of
land, and it vas upon this tract that
Gouldtown of to-day is built. Her chill
dren, of whom she had many, were
intelligent, and after their mothers
death the property was divided equally
among them. Even to this day the
English blood can be traced and readily
seen IN the present generation OF
Goulds. They make it a rule to marry
only among themselves, and proudly
refer to the English blood in their
veins. Gouldtown is a large colored
settlement, and the inhabitants are
honest in all the world implies. Some
IF tho Gnu1ds have held nublic offices
in the county, and their schools are
large and the attendance always great.
Such is the history OF Gouldtown.

A connecticut widower has been
opening proposals in the town of Bark,
hamsted for a second wife. He offered
a widow 81, 900 in cash and the deed OF
a farm if she would have him. The
widow said she was willing, and the ar
rangements were proceeding satisfacto-
rily, when the daughter came home,
after a visit. The widower liked the
daughter better than the mother. he
offered her $1,000 and the farm; but she
gave him an indignant refusal. He
then renewed his advances to the moth
er, but she cast him of. So angry are
all the women in the town that he can
not breach the subject of marriage
without being turned out of doors.
