We never knew what Sunday was; and
az for the patients they had hard
time of it, from neglect. 1t was ne-

brought to the institution with typhoid
fever on December lst. saw receipts
for liquor there marked $40 and Sl5
per gallon. 1t twas said to be for the
patients, but the patients got very
little of it.
81 was discharged rather unceremon
iously; and Mr.. Lynch was the cause
of it; but it was all because oDa fancied

and would become very angry if he
saw any one with me.
81 met Mr.. Lynch the other after
noon on Maryland Avenue just above
Witsil's ssgar store, and he said to
me:
What did you do this for, why
did you sue me az you did ?'s
81 replied: 81 went to you as lady
and asked you to bs friend me. If you
had done right would have gone away
and there would have been no trouble
to your family or mine
"He said: why didn't you leave
town.
81 said Il had no money!
Well then, why don't you go to

81 told him, Il wouldn't do it?

a pretty scrape?"
This is about the substance of the

spending the evening of last Tuesday
at the residence of her brother-in law
No 1882 Walnut street, she was agree
ably surprised to have about twenty OF
her young friends come trooping un-

that Tuesday marked the anniversary
of very important event in Miss Bous-

On Friday evening next, 3lst inst,
the Reliance Active Association, will
give their annual ball in Webster d
Dancing Rooms, Masonic Hall, Prof.
Ritchie's orchestra will furnish the mu-
sic, and Judging from the preparations
that are being made by the managers,
the ball will no doubt be one of the
leading affairs Of the season. Tickets
500.
The Pima Knot Associations fourth
grand annual ball, will be given in
the above mentioned rooms, on the
evening of Friday, November l4th.---
The Pine Knots, are proverbial for
the excellent manner in which their
annual receptions are managed, and
the immense amount of pleasure and
enjoyment afforded their patrons, and
there is every reason to believe, that
the affair this season, will in no way
fall short of its predecessors. Ritchie's
orchestra will bs in attendance.
The Y. |. N. A. composed of mem
bers Of St. Mary's T. A. b. Pioneer
Corps, will make their DEBUT by giving
grand ball, also at Wetster's rooms,
on Friday evening, November q. The
names of the managers, are sufficient
guarantee that the affair, will prove
all that the moA fastidious could de-
sire. A frst-class orchestra has been
engaged.
On Thanksgiving eve however, the
Ides have it that the event of the sea
son will come off, for on that occasion
the veteran Shields will give their
grand annual ball at the Grand Opera
House. 1t is unnecessary for us to CON-
ment ON the arrangements the Board
Of Managers OF the Shields have made
for the occasion, as their style of doing
these things is too well known to those
who love the beautiful and pure in this
line of amusement. Their programme
is already arranged and we will
just whisper that it is something that
will surprise those who are fortunate
enough to hold tickets for the Opera
House on Thanksgiving eve.

Thursday morning about $50 O'Clock
a dog giving the characteristic signs OF
hydryphobia passed through Newport
and bit four or five dogs. Some of the
dogs bitten were shot by their owners,
or confined, but the mad dog went on
out the pike westward and, on his way
stopped at Mr.. Newton Flinn's and bit
one of his dogs. Is it not strange that
intelligent people will keep such dan
gerous creatures about them! all dogs
are liable to hydrophobia without be-
ing bitten by one laboring under this
disease. The best cure would be to
dispatch all dogs.

MORE THAN TWO BALES TO THE ACRE
lAberdeen, Miss, Examiner.1

- (Aberdeen, Miss, Examiner.l
Several times during the last four
years we have taken occasion to call
attention to the new process of cotton
planting so successfully pursued by Mr..
J. J. Crump of this county. The re-
suit of this process was 1910 pounds Of
ginned cotton to the acre in 1877 1000
pounds in 1878, and this season the
prospects are good for the heaviest
yield he has ever had. For the benefit
of our readers, we will again give Mr..
Crump's formula He prepares his
land in December by digging holes
three feet from each other, each 1e
inches square and is inches deep ;
these holes he fills with manure to
within four inches of the top, and the
remainder Of the way with the top
SOIL At the usual season he plants
with view to having three stalks to Il
hill, and plies the clay from the bot
toms of tho pits AS deep over the tops
as the supply will admit Of, with a
view to keeping down the grass, and
then cultivatcs with hand and hoe,
never allowing plOw to be used. The
preparation is made in December in
order to subdue the fiery qualities of
the fertilizer, and the holes whom pre-
pared will make ut least three crops
without changing their contents the
second crop generally being the best,
and the first and third about tho same.
This plan has gotten beyond the sphere
of experiment, and there is no longer
necessity for a man to scrape over a
dozen acres when he can obtain more
cotton and better cotton by cultivating
two or three by Mr.. Crump's process.

THE DEPTH OF EARTHQUAKES.
{ California UniOn.1


Tho recent earthquake at Virginia
City was not noticed in the mining
depths, but only by the people on the
surface. The famous earthquake of
some years ago, which shook down
chimneys, fire walls, cracked brick
buildings and did other damage, was
merely noticed by the miners working
in the upper levels, but it did no dam
age, not even shaking down the loose
stones and earth. The station men in
the various shafts felt ii the strongest,
and the deepest point where it was
noticed was by the station tender at
the nine hundred feet level Of the I'm
perial Empire shaft, nine hundred feet
below the surface. He said it felt like
q sudden faint throb or pulsation of
the air, as though blast had been
sent off somewhere ut distance above,
below, or in some indefinite direction.
In some OF the mines the shock was
not noticed at all, even by the station
men. Commenting on this peculiar
fact at the time, the Gold Hill News
remarked that the earthquake seemed
to be an electric disturbance proceed.

GEN. ZACH TAYLOR IN ANGER.

1t is related that Gen. Scott's famous
letter to Zachary Taylor announcing
tho withdrawal Of most Of the regular
troops from Taylor's command to be
placed under his own in Il projected
movement from Vera Cruz toward the
capital of Mexico, was received while
Gen. Taylor was at supper with his
staff near Monterey. The General
asked Col. Bliss to read it to him. He
had just replenished his coffeo cup, and
was engaged in cooling it with spoon
while the reading went on. This ap-
peared to make no further impression
upon him than that indicated by con-
temptuous 'ssniff,' but as the real i'm
port of the letter began to appear, his
whole manner changed, and he alb
stractedly dipped the spoon into a
bowl of mustard, which sat upon the
table, and stirred it in the coffee. This
he repeated until, by the time the
reading of the letter was finished, tho
contents Of the mustard bowl were OK
hausted. Without saying u word, and
to Bliss establishment and horror, he
raised the cup to his lips and gulped
down the whole abominable compound.
He then broke into an excited and
profane harangue, consigning to ever
lasting damnation every one concerned
in the proposed depletion Of his forces,
and only ceasing when his speech was
overtaken with a paroxy ysm of stutter-
ing, which with him usually followed
a violent outbreak OF temper. The
Colonel felt sure that from the amount
of mustard he had swallowed, COM
bined with the intelligence he had re-
ceived, it would infallibly sicken him,
but nothing uncommon came of it.
"Isatsbane at that moment," said
Bliss, s'would, am convinced, have
had no more effect upon him than
upon the stomach of Mithridates. "
Gen. Pleasonton, who commanded the
Generals escort in Mexico, says that
when once thoroughly aroused he was
the naddest man he ever saW-mad
from the crown Of his hat to the soles
of his boots.
