| election ground, his horse ran away, overturn-
/ ing it and throwing him violently out break

| Dr.. w. s. HUsELToN, of this city,
has been appointed to fill the vacancy in the
Board of Pension Examiners caused by the
resignation of DR.. Gilmore, of Pittsburgh. Dr.
| Huselton is recognized as a leading physician
| and surgeon, and his selection for this honora-
| BILE and responsible position is deserved trib-
| ute to o worthy and patriotic citizen: The
| appointment was made, we believe, on the rec
ommendation Of Representative Bayne.-AHe-
gksny Mail.

THE Indiana (Pa.) Messenger says
| that head of cabbage, raised by A. w. Kim
NELL presented strange conformation. The
head weighed thirty pounds, and when the
outer leaves we're removed there were presented
to view thirty-four well-formed heads, ranging
in size from large apple to a walnut, each
head was completely shaped and separate from
the other. Another head, from the same lot,
weighing twenty -four pounds, was found to be
perfectly solid.

ONE of the simplest ways of pro-
pagating the Grapevine is simply to make
cuttings of the prunnings, about foot long
always, including one or two joints, and bury
them 50 that the upper end Is an inch above
SOIL Cover them with straw, hay or any other
coarse meterial at hand A large proportion
will grow next spring. The same may be said
of current and gooseberry cuttings. The roots
of raspberries may be cut up into bits three
inches long, and placed in boxes, alternating
layer of soil and layer of cuttings. The
boxes may be buried in dry place out-of-doors
or kept in the cellar until spring.

WATER is an excellent protector for
halfhardy plants against frost. In southern
Europe where the winters are light many tender
plants remain safely out-ofdoors all winter
without being covered, by twisting straw into
heavy ropes which, on cold nights, are made
wet and then wound in ziz-zag lines around
plants and among the branches of trees and
shrubs, each end being submerged in pail of
water The water will rise by capillary attrac-
ton and keep the rope wet the whole length,
and in the act of freezing enough heat is liber-
ated from this water to raise the temperature
of the atmosphere surrounding the plants, and
thus save them from the cold. 1t Is for the
same reason that trees on moist ground can
Withstand severe frost better than trees on
dry soil.
WILLIAM ALAND, Merchant Tailor,
has Just opened the largest line of woolens for
men and boys wear ever offered in Butler.
AN indignant woman has up and
written to the Hartford C0urant violent
denunciation of the monument to Adam. pro-
posed to be erected by the citizens of Elmira;
and the cause of all her bitterness i; that q
monument should be going up to Adam before
any corresponding tribute has been paid to the
memory Of Eve. To lie sure, this violent
female does suggest something in the line of
the Missouri Compromise she is half willing
to call it square with the Elmira people if they
will put an appropriate Eve epitaph on one
side Of the Adam structure but what she really
wants is to see monument run up that shall
apply to Eve and Eve only. OF course the
ElmIra Adam Monument Association will pay
demand and we mention it here just to show
how wide of common sense a woman can steer
when she tries. The idea of talking about
monument to a woman with political record
like Ewes!

THE death of Mr.. Chandler takes
from the Senate of the United States the last
but one of that memorable body of men, pre-
sided over by John c. Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, that assembled under the dome of the
Capitol Immediately preceding the great civil
war. In point of learning, talents, genius, and
oratory that assemblage has never been sur
passed at any time in the history of the Repub-
lie. 1t met in December, 1860, at time when
the Nation was trembling on the verge of dis
solution. Its deliberations we're watched by
the people both North and South with intense
anxiety. 1t held in its hands the destinies of
300O0,O00 of human beings. The fate of
mighty Nation was trembling in the balance.
The struggle between liberty and slavery was
about to culminate either in the triumph OF
freedom or an appeal to arms. The life OF the
Republic was at stake, and as the curtain rose
upon the first act of the great drama the whole
world became anxious spectators OF the scene.
The issue of peace or war was to be decided.
Either the country was to go forward In the

desolate the land and drench it with precious
blood. That was great historic moment, and
every member of the Senate took his seat with
a heart full of solictude and forebodings. In
that Chamber gathered the chosen Representa-
tives of all the States of the Union. There
were the men who loved the Union and the
men who hated it, and of all that brilliant and
distinguished company but single member is
left in the Senate-the venerable Hannibal
Hamlin, from Maine. The death Of Mr..
Chandler leaves him sole survivor in the SEN
ate of all the members Of 1860. What fitting
commentary upon the brevity and vanity of
human life ! Many of these men have left be-
hind them records that make their memories
dear to the hearts of their countrymen. But
the men themselves are gone-gone beyond
recall
