RUNAwAYs AND ACCIDENTs.-On Monday, as
Mr.. and Mrs. Amos Osborn, of the second dis
trict, were on their way to Bel Air, in carriage,
some portion of the harness broke, on the
Churchvillc road, near Bynum's Run bridge, and
the horse ran away. Directly after crossing the
bridge one side of the shafts became uncoupled
and the carriage was upset, throwing both the
occupants out. The horse became detached from
the vehicle and ran into Bel Air, stopping at
Mr.. r. N lIanna's Hotel. Mr.. and Mrs. Osborn
were both severely bruised, but were thankful
to escape without broken limbs. A ncighbor
came along shortly after the accident and brought
them to Bel Air.
On Monday afternoon as colorcd boy was
driving Henry IIcrman's horse attached to q
buggy from George Anderson's livery stable, on
Bond street, the horse became frightened and ran
away. In turning the corner of Green street,
the buggy struck the corner of James Russell's
house, smashing the vehicle to pieces. The col
ored boy escaped unhurt.
BUSINESS CHANGEs.-The firm of John W. Bay
IL Co., commission merchants, of Baltimore, has
been dissolved, on account of the continued ill
purchased by Messrs. George A. Getty and
Thomas A. IIeuisler, who will continue the
business under the name of Getty u Heuislcr
Mr. Getty was formerly connected with the firm
of James Getty Il Sons, who for 46 years were
among the largest wholesale dry goods dealers in
Baltimore, the firm being well and favorably
known to many of the Hartford people. Mr.
Heuisler, formerly of the old firm of Bay ~ Co.,
is a son of Mr. George A. Heuiser, of this coun-
ty. He has been connected with the firm ever
since its establishment and enjoys the reputa-
ton Of being reliable energetic and correct bust
ness man. Mr.. Bays friends in Hartford will re-
greet to learn OF the necessity which compcls his
retirement from active business.
Mcssrs John II. and W. Emory Michael, sons
of the late William Bush Michael, have purchas-
ed the interest ofthe surviving partner Mr.. James
H. Michael in the business heretofore conducted
at Perrymansvillc under the firm name of Mi
chael u Bro, and intend to enlarge the stock Of
goods. These young men are full of business
enterprise and energy, and under their manage
ment this old and popular store will, we are sure,
prove an attraction in the neghborhood. They
propose to keep full supply of the best class of
goods and sell them at low prices. The firm
will continue to be known by the name of Michael
u Bro.

Cunning Ravens.

In the narrative of the Arctic voyage
Captain Mcclure, Of the British navy,
is the following story Of the two ravens
which became domiciliatcd on board
the Investigator; The raven, it ap-
pears, is the only bird that willingly
braves a solar winter; and, in the depth
of the season, he Is seen to fit through
the cold and sunless atmosphere like an
evil spirit his sullen croak alone break
ing the silence of the death-like scene.
No one of the crew attempted to shoot
the ravens, and they consequently be-
came very bold, as will be seen by the
narrative :"Two ravens now established
themselves as friends of the family in
Mercer Bay, living mainly by what lit
tie scraps the men might have thrown
away after meal times. The ships dog,
however, looked upon these as his spe-
cial perquisites, and exhibited conside-
rable energy in maintaining his rights
against the ravens, who nevertheless
outwitted him In way which amused
every one. Observing that he appeared
quiet willing to make mouthful of
their own sable persons, they used to
throw themselves Intentionally in his
way, just as the mess tins were being
cleaned out on the dirt-heap outside the
ship. The dog would Immediately run
at them, and they would just fly few
yards; the dog then made another, and
again they would appear to escape him
but by an inch, and SO on, and until
they had tempted and provoked him to
the shore, considerable distance off.
Then the ravens would make direct
flight for the ship, and had generally
done good execution before the morti-
fied-looking dog detected the imposition
that had been practiced upon him, and
rushed back again.

The Cocks Crow.

The cock crows, lit is his nature TO
crow; but the midnight crow is very
different sound from the crow at day
break; the crow which is sent as a
challenge to a rival is not like that of
the victor after the battle; the crow at
high-noOn or in the afternoon of a sui
ry dog-day Is as maugre as the wealth
er, and is fitting expression of delic-
ious lazine's; but after quieting dis
turbance among the inmates of the
poultry yard, the -shrill crow of success
in quelling an insurrection is lively
and spirited exclamation of an honest
and legitimate pride.
"When the cock goes growing TO bed,
He Will rise with watery head"
may be good for nothing as a meteoro-
logcal maxim, but in science of natural
sounds it is good for something, and it
Is very diverse expression from the
morning growing upon his own coop.
The frequent Growing during the fore
noon Is the vocal outburst of high an
imal vigor,- the typical crow,--and is
totally unlike the growing given in a
new yard or an unfrequented place.
Some animal, a dog or cat, rat or wea-
sci, may enter the yard and frighten
the hens; the cock goes for the intru-
der and If successful in driving him
OIL, he crows, ana TINS Growing is an
entirely Independent sound from either
of the others mentioned. If he has
been unwell for day or two, among
The first signs of returning health is the
convalescent crow.
The Growing after a great and sud
den surprise or fright is simply grand
beyond description, and doubly needs
to be heard to be comprehended in its
glory or appreciated in its magnificent
intonations. On the afternoon Of the
2S of Jure, 1879. there was thunder
storm, and the lightning struck not a
great distance from the writer. Dur
ing the storm, he was sitting by win
dow watching It's progress; the fowls
had gathered under the crib for shelter
and were engaged in pluming their
feathers; when the lightning struck,
the thunder was an explosion, short,
sudden and very loud; the fowls were
terribly frightened, and ran in differ
ent directions; the cock ran about two
rods, stopped short, looked around, and
crowed. 1t was a legitimate, natural
crow, into wEich he threw all his physi-
cal and mental being 1t was an unusual
circumstance; the nature of the case
demanded an unusual crow, and the
demand was met. The shower was
over, and calling the hens together
they went foraging in the orchard.

How Turpentine is Made.

When man wishes to make new
farm, he first buys the use of the trees
for one or more years. For the trees
owners receive from four to ten dol
lars per thousand boxes per year. Each
tree has from one to four boxes, averag-
ing, perhaps, two boxes. The next
thing is cutting the boxes, which gene
rally begins about the last of October,
and continues as the season permits un-
til March. When the boxing season be-
gins, all hands does the chOpping, and
take the forest sin breast" before
them, until the tract has been finished,
and every pine of sufficient size has
been "boxed." AT the proper season
they are divided unto clippers or hack
ers, dippers, haulers and slill hands
each class being paid certain wages.
The duty of the hackers is to scarify
the pines. For this purpose an instru-
ment somewhat like a cooper's knife is
used. The boxes are cut near the roots
of the trees, and the hackers begin bac.
king by cutting single shallow trench
at an angle Of about forty-tlve degrees
downward, on each side of and into
he box. A single stroke to the side
is enough, and is done almost without
stopping. They 60 from tree to tree
all through the season making fresh
hacks at least once week. That is
their business for the spring, summer
and fall season. A large farm is divi-
ded into smaller farms of 1000 boxes
each, and the hackers, as well as the
dippers, are paid so much for attending
to the !, 900 boxes, and allowed as ma
ny farms as they can hack properly.
The duty of the dippers is to dip to tur-
pentine from the boxes, and put it in
the barrels ready for the haulers. They
too, do nothing else, and like the hac-
kers, must visit each tree, and clean
out each box at least once a week.
Those, too, have as many farms Of
thousand boxes each as they can dip
properly. The duty of the haulers is
to distribute empty barrels over the va
rious farms--which are numbered or
named just where the dippers want
them placed and to haul the crude
gum to the still. The duty of the
still hands is at the still continually.
When the dipping season has ended,
and the hackers no longer need their
hacking-knives in the fall, they are
united for common work again. Now
they are put to scraping off the gum
which has adhered to the sides of the
trees from beginning to the end of the
season. Sometimes crude gum is in
thick flakes for several feet up the
tree. That is all scraped off once a
year, and the tree left ready for another
season. Zach box Is said to furnish
about two gallons Of gum per annum.
Eleven quarts of the gum will yield
about two and half quarts Of turpen-
tine, quarts Of rosin, and one and a
half quarts Of waste. The waste is
thrown away, but the turpentine and
rosin are sold. Turpentine now brings

New Confederate Monument at Memphis,
Tenn.

On the 9th Of June last, a monument
to the memory of the Confederate dead
was dedicated In Elmwood Cemetery,
Memphis, Tenn, In the presence Of s.
600 spectators, after the graves Of a
large number Of soldiers and sailors
had been decorated with flowers. On
the crest of the beautiful hill on the
slope of which the Confederate dead
are buried the monument stands.
Around its base, and far down the crest
OF the hill and into the valley, the lit
tie white headstone graye-markers rise
above the blades of grass, and peep
from beneath the waving white-topped
clover. The following is the detailed
description Of the monument: A mol
ded base, five feet six inches square,
one foot ten inches high. On the front
of the same are cut, in raised, polished
letters, the words Confederate Dead. ,
On the back of the same is the follow
ing inscription: "IHiS Victorian Non
ImmOrtdlitatem Fdta NegdreruHt." On
the base rests a nodded base, four feet
square and eleven inches high with col
umn plinths at the angles. Then comes
die, three feet two inches square and
two feet three inches high, recessed at
the corners for the shalts. The faces
Of the die are highly polished-polished
shafts, carved capitals and nodded
bases. The upper portion of the die is
four feet two inches square and two
feet five inches high, with Gothic
arch and panel on each side, and with
a carved wreath in relief. On each
sprandrel the four corners are nodded.
Then comes a nodded and carved cap,
five feet square and one foot three
inches high. Above this cap is a mol
ded column base, three feet nine inches
square and one foot eight inches high,
with the Tennessee State and the Con-
federate States arms In high relief.
Above these coats-of-arms and beneath
the trophy are the words "Deo Vim
dice," In relief. The shaft is three feet
square at the bottom ard two feet
two inches square at the top, aud six
teen feet long, with trophy of flags
and arms at the base of the shaft in
high relief and garlands in low relief
all polished. The frieze is nodded, and
has stars in full relief between themold-
ings. On top of all this is the capital,
three feet four inches square and one
foot seven inches high, richly carved.
Surmounting all is final two feet
eight inches square and two feet elghJ
inches high, composed of cannon balls.
The material used in the con-
struction OF this memorial to the Illus
triou dead, was taker from the quar-
ries of the Richmond Granite COmpa-
ny, which has its main 1epots in Rich
mond, Va, and at the port Of Phila-
delphia. The dedicatory address was
delivered by General w. Y. C. Humes.

20 cents per gallon, anl rosin runs
from Sl.25 10 800 per barrel. 1t is
not generally known that there are
about II or 10 grades of rosln, the best
OF which is the "window glass" grade,
which is as transparent as window
glass, and sells at about s. per barrel.
The window glass can not be made ex-
cept in the spring of the year. Large
quantities of kerosene oil, is now being
shipped by the oil refiners on railroads
in huge tanks TO cities where II is
barreled for market. After those tanks
have been emptied, they are filed with
turpentine and reshippcd to the cities
bordering on the coal region; thereby
diminishing freights on oil as well as
the turpentine. The rosin is sold for
various purposes in the manufactures
one Of which is soap making. The
stills are huge copper kettles with
copper caps, and worms coiling several
times round as ii passes through large
vat Of cold water, and discharges the
vapor condensed by water into the
spirits of turpentine. For still which
will hold twenty barrels of crude gum
a few buckets of water are placed, and
the cap and worm adjusted, the fire is
kindled under the furnace, and soon
the distillation begins; care being taken
to have about the same quantity of
cold, fresh water flow into the still
every minute as goes into vapor, and is
condensed into spirits of turpentine.
The distillation is dangerous, and re-
qCires a skillful distiler.
