A RLOOD-CURDLING ACCI-
DENT.
Death Of a Well.Known Citi-
zen Under the POnderOas
wheels of a Railway
Train.

We ale indebted to our sprightly
and industrious Bradford correspond
ent for intelligence of blood-curdling
accident, in which Harvey Pounds, a
highly respected citizen, lost his life
under the ponderous wheels of rails
way train. The following particulars
of the fatal occurrence are taken from
the communication of Fritz"
Pounds left this place between
eight and nine o'clock Friday night
to 90 to his home in the vicinity of
Idlewild. He got to trestle near
what is known as the Wreun cut,
where he was overtaken by the ten
o'clock south-bound mixed train, run
over and his body horribly mangled.
He was supposed to have been under
the influence ofliquor, as he had taken
several drinks before leaving Brad
ford. His loss is mourned by his
numerous friends, who say he was an
excellent citizen and a charitable and
generous man. He leaves consider
able family, am told"
We learn from other sources that
Mr.. Pounds, en- route home, was pass
ing over a trestle and fell upon the
track, breaking his leg, and being
under the influence of liquor was un-
able to escape from his perilous posi-
ton. AT this juncture the train came
dashing up. The engineer saw man
on the track and reversed his engine,
but too late to save the life of the I'M
fortunate one. Just before the CT ush-
ing wheels leaped upon their victim,
his cries and motions, as heard and
seen by the engineer, would have
made the stoutest heart quail, but in
anoth er instant his body was crushed
to jelly and his soul was in eternity.
The body of the deceased was brought
to Milan on the same train that robbed
him of his life. A jury of inquest was
summoned, and the following is its
report:
INQUEST.
A jury Of inquest, holden over the
dead body of j. HI. Pounds, has come
to the following conclusion: That
Pounds came to his death by falling
on or through the trestle on the rail-
road between Idlewild and Bradford,
and so wounding or Gripping himself
that he was Enabled to get off the
trestle, and was run over by train Of
cars and killed.

Potatoes and Butter.
THE FARMERS CLUE TALK ABOUT sCABs ON Po.
TAToEs AND THE COOLEY SYSTEM FOR
MAKING BUTTER.

The Farmers Market Agricultural Club,
at its meeting recently, appointed com
mittee to ascertain the cause of the scab on
the potato. During the discussion of the
subject Mr.. Smedley said he had been in.
formed that the scab was occasioned by a
small, white insect, so small that a magnify
ing glass was required to detect it, and it
would remain in the ground for five years.
Mr.. Satterthwait said that was important
information if it came from one who knows
what he is talking about, and inquired if
the person making this statement was a
scientific man?
Mr.. Smedley replied that his informant
was scientist, and on receiving this infor-
nation Mr.. Satterthwait said he would give
nothing for the statement concerning the
insect, and he doubted very much whether
any one had discovered the real cause of
the difficulty.
Mr.. Barton thought the imperfection was
simply tuber found on all varieties of po.
tatoes. The opinion of scientific men was
worth nothing without practical experience.
His own experience had led him to believe
the imperfection was attributable to black
beetle which often infests the potato field.
Mr.. Hawkins had found an insect living on
the potato resembling in some respects the
| lady bug, but unlike it in color; there were
black specks on it,
Having appointed Mr.. Isaac Evans as a
committee to investigate the subject and
report at the next meeting, the club was
then addressed by Mr.. NJ. S. Cook on the
Cooley system of making butter. The
theory of this system is simple one, con-
sisting of suddenly cooking the milk and
bringing the temperature down so quick as
to cause a circulation in the milk, which
changes the specific gravity, and the cream
being the lighter it rises to the top. This
is done by submerging the milk in ice water
at a temperature of from 40 to so degrees.
By this plan it has been proven that four
per cent. more butter can be made than by
any other system that has been tried. The
cream will rise in three hours and fifteen
minutes, and little less than twelve quarts
of milk are required for one pound OF
butter.
Mr.. Isaac Evans thought there was q
mystery about this system for making
butter, and noted the fact that in the ex
cessive cold days Of winter he found it ne
cessary to have fire in his milk room fol
the purpose Of raising the cream on the
milk.
Mr.. Cook explained that it was by sud
denly bringing down the temperature tha
the specific gravity of the milk is changed
Cold water being a better conductor of hea
than cold air, the animal heat is carried
: away suddenly, and this was an importan
point to be observed in preparing the cream
for the churn.
Mr.. Smedley said: "When we get thu
milk down to a temperature of So or 81
degrees it is at its greatest density, ant
below that point it will begin to grow
lighter"
"Why do we sour cream before churn
} ing? 2" inquired Mr.. Evans.
"Some do not" replied member of tn
club. 1T was argued at the State AgricuI
D tural Society that the best butter is mad
/. from sweet cream."-Er.
Smyrna times., 1879-06-25
A Case Of a Pig.

Mr.. Lincoln used to tell the following
story on Tom Hamer; Mr.. Hamers client
was charged with hog stealing. The case
was clearly proven and when it went to the
jury Tom was indisposed to say word.
=" Don't give up, don't give up" whisper
ed the client.
"But can say nothing" replied the
poor attorney.
"But you must. Get up and howl
holler, holler, man, or I'm lost, and won't
pay you cent"
Thus instigated, Tom rose gravely and
astonished the court by dissertation on the
laws OF forcible entry and detainer. Then
turning to the jury he gave a discourse on
the nature and habits of hogs. He then
called attention to the prohibition of God
through Moses, of hog meat as an article of
food. He told how our Savior put the
devils that afflicted the poor man into the
swine, and the swine ran down a steep
place and were drowned. But Tom asserted
however, that all were not drowned, but
breed of damned hogs" for" said Tom,
if they are possessed of the devil they
must be damned until all the hogs of
the earth had devils in them.
Let any man owning corn field or a
! garden patch answer" demanded Hamer.
SIS there fence that will turn hog,
gentlemen of the Jury? l say not one. 1t
will find a holeif there is one if not, it will
make one. Rattles down bars and lifts
gates off their hinges. l have known hogs
to climb fences yes, gentlemen Chamber
up and fall down, but always on the garden
side. The devil teaches them anatomy
gentlemen, for whosoever heard of hos
falling on his snout? He always come:
down on lis rump with grunt that is {
raingled expression of surprise and satisfac
ton. When hog gets under buggy hC
does not run out of the way like sensible
Christian animal; he on the contrary, goei
to backing and getting under every leg o
the horse and wheel of the buggy, until the
one is broken and the other is thrown
down Now, gentlemen, | put it to you
Suppose my client did kill, under mistaken
notion that they were his, six of thes
creatures denounced by the Almighty anC
damned by the Saviour, is he to be held VI
an malefactor and punished by imprison
ment?
But deny, gentlemen, that it has beel
proven. The prosecuting attorney smiles
1t is a swinish smile, gentlemen, and make
NE ashamed of him.
Hamer sat down with q round of applaus
, from the bucolic bystanders while his ellen
winked at the Jury. In due course of lega
form the jury retired and soon returne
with verdict of "not guilty"
"Well, I'll be hanged as well as tn
, hogs" exclaimed Hamer, "if l can under
, stand this"
"You can't eh y responded the hog THE
: "Well l can. Eleven of the jury had som
! of the bacor."
