CannibaIs in italy.


The Assize court at Perugia has Just
condemned to death a man named
Thomas Longari, who not only murdered
his brother, but also ate him. The two
brothers, Thomas and Sebastian Longari,
had been on bad terms for a long time,
and on Good Friday last Thomas waited
for his brother as he returned from
mass, and coming up behind him in a
sequestered spot, knocked him down
with blow from an axe, and then
chopped his head off Having done this
he belabored the body with his knife,
took out the heart, lungs, and ether
organs, and placed them upon one side
with the head, while he cut up the rest
of the body in small pieces and concealed
it in rayine. Taking the head and
yiscera home with him, he pulled out
the teeth and eyes from the head, while
the intestines he fried and gave to his
wife and children to eat. The other
pieces of the body were found soon after
ward, and the crime was traced home to
him, but when confronted with the re-
mains he was so cynical in his attitude
that some one remarked, !" believe he
would eat macaroni upon them, little
thinking what had really happened.
When his house was searched his wife at
once guessed what a horrible meal she
had eaten, and her husband frankly
told the police it was so, and declared
that he would do the same thing over
again # he had the chance.

Fattenirig turkeys.

Christmas turkeys are already being
brought to market and some of them are
very poor Now is the time to fatten
turkeys. Every night and morning the
turkey should have full supply of nu-
tritious and fattening food. Boiled po-
tatoes mashed and mixed with meal, and
moderately warm, is very excellent feed
both to promote growth and fatten.
Just now turkeys cannot procure insects
to eat, and their place should be sup
piled. Butchers scraps is one of the
cheapest and most desirable forms of food
for poultry. Grain should be given at
least once a day with the soft and warm
feed. Nothing is better than sound
corn. In feeding, only so much corn
should be thrown out as the turkeys will
eat up clean.
To fatten chickens for the table they
should have sound and various food,
warmth and cleanliness. Give good
clean water for them to drink. In addi-
ton to their regular diet of good corn,
cake of ground oats or beans, brown
Sugar, milk and mutton suet is excellent.
Let the cake lie until it is stale, then
Crumble it and give each chicken a gill
of it every morning and evening. No
entire grain should be given to fowls
during the time they are fattening. In
short, they should have a plenty of nu-
titious food and in such form that their
digestive mills shall find no difficulty in
grinding it.

Improbable. He was subsequently

Boston Advertiser
During the month of August, M. + 4.
Stroll, of Linz joined a party which
was making the ascent of Gross Clock.
ner. The members of the party left the
StucdIhuette together at o'clock in the
morning, with storm apparently threat
ening from the west. At O'clock a. m
they found themselves in the middle OF
the storn-cloud, and were compelled by
the Egvptian darkness surrounding them
to come to a complete halt. Suddenly
the storm broke out directly above their
heads, the thunder and lightning which
at the same time came on, being a t once
awful and grand in the extreme. There
were other parties ascending the mount
ain at the same time, and some of their
guides and members, who, during the
brilliant lightning flashes were able
clearly to distinguish the party to which
NJ. Stroll belonged, stated that after the
storm had subsidized that the electric fluid
seemed to strike into and all around the
company in the stOrm-cloud. To the SIX
persons, of whom this party consisted,
all nature seemed to be the scene of one
vast conhagration and they were pre-
pared for the worst The guide en-
deavored to console them, addressing
them in these words: Gentlemen, We
shall all be struck dead; but what does
it matter? The lightning might have
killed lis even if we had been in our
beds" For some time the lives of the
members of the party did not appear
worth half Il minutes purchase. More
over, every one temporarily suffered from
complete blindness, owing to the over
pOwering intensity of the electrical dis
play. At length, however, the power of
vision began to return to the various
members of the party, when a strange
phenomenon presented itself to their
sight. Each of the six persons appeared
developed in all the brilliancy of St.
ElmO's fire. From the hair of their
heads and boards, from their coats and
hats, a stream of electric sparks was dis
charging itself The cords with which
their hats had on account of the VIC
lence of the storm, been fastened to thei
coat buttons, gave out light, while from
the alpenstocks which they had stuck in
the snow, the electric fluid streamed out.
the imminent danger
to which they had. been exposed, none of
the gentlemen were in the least injured,
the only inconvenience they suffered
being that they were compelled by the
rain, snow and frost to return that morn
ing to the SteudIhuette and defer the
ascent to a later hour of the day.

SOUTHERN FARM AND HOME.

The early fall is a good time to TOP
dress grass lands with well rotted stable
manure. The soluble portions Of the
manure are carried down to the roots OF
the grass, while the insoluble parts will
remain spread upon the surface of the
ground and form a mulch.
Ashes are good for grass lands The
potash in ashes improves the quality and
increases the quantity of grass. Air
slaked lime, common salt at the rate of
200 pounds to the acre, are both good.
Street sweepings are excellent for grass
lands, and by the way a good quantity
of excellent fertilizer can be procured
from the streets at this time,
which contains many elements which are
good for grass. Finely pulverized soil
of almost any kind will benefit land that
has been for some time in grass. The
continued growth of grass exhausts soils,
and something should be added to the
soil to take the place of thoee portions of
it that have been absorbed by the grow
ing grass.

HOES.

1t is best to have some shelter for hogs,
during the severe weather, though the
shelter should be well ventilated. There
Is no doubt that many cases of so-called
hog cholera originate in blood poisoning
the result of crowding large numbers
of hogs together in badly ventilated
quarters. Corn on the cob is excellent
feed for hogs, especially when they are
out to pasture. Corn meal, one-half
bushel to thirty gallons of water, on
being boiled till the meal is retained in
suspension, makes thin porridge, which
is a good food. Rye, wheat, oats mixed
and ground and boiled in this manner,
also does we'll Boiled potatoes and
meal makes good feed in winter. A
dose of charcoal from time to time is
good. In the winter, keep your hogs
warm, dry and well fed.

these the gladiola and tuberoses.

Cows.

Cows should now be put in the stables
or in the sheds at night and be well fed
if milk Is expected from them. A cold,
shivering, poorly fed COW, cannot be ex-
pect to give milk, or but very little, even
if she is a Jersey. But warm quarters and
liberal feeding will cause her to give a
liberal supply of milk which will furnish
good cream, and this will supply good
butter. If farmers do not have plenty
of milk, they must blame themselves and
not their COWS.
