Saving Seeds.

In planting or sowing,says the Prai-
RE Farmer, only sound, plump and
well matured seeds should be select
ed. We know one farmer who, for
the last fifty years, has taken partlcu-
lar pains in saving his seed. Former
ly it was his habit, just before harvest,
to 20 through bis standing wheat and
cut off the strongest and largest heads
he could find, thus filling a number of
sacks. These were subsequently
threshod and screened and sowed the
following year. In this way he kept
up the quality Of his seed, and it paid
him well. In regard to the duration
of vitality in seeds a wide difference
exists in the different kinds Of families
Of plants. The life Of those that bear
oily seeds is short az compared with
others. The seeds of the radish have
been known to grow when seventeen
years old, and it is of record that rye
one hundred years old has terminated.
1t has been claimed that the mum
my" wheat grown somewhere extern
sively a few yesrsag in Ohio and else
where in the United States was OBJ
tanned from seed that had lam in the
pyramids Of Egypt thousands of years,
but we have always considered the
statement as apophrypbal. However,
itis not impossible that some seeds
from which the air is excluded, with
other conditions favorable, may retain
vitality tor a very long time. 1t has
been found by trial that the average
vitality in some seeds Of some of oul
cultivated plants is as follows. Arti.
choke, five years; broad bear, six; beet.
root, FIVE; cabbage, five; carrot, four
cucumber, five; lettuce, Eve; corn, two
melon, FIVE; onion, two; parsnips, two
peas, four or FIVE; radish, FIVE; spinach
I've; egg plant, seven; endiyo, nine
parsley, three; strawberry, three,

The parties say that the whole thing
was in jest, and that they never intend
cd to become legally married. 1t hap
pencd, however, that the person
who performed the ceremony
was a justice of the peace, and,
as such, authorized by the laws
Of the state to solemnige marriages.
When this fact became known it
caused great CONSERVATION to the par
ties affected, and much gossip in the
neighborhood. Legal advice was tn
ken, and a petition for nulIity was
filed under the statute, proving that
when any doubt exists whether a mar
riage is void, a libel may be filed and
nullity pronounced accordingly. Ey.
idence to the above effect being offered
the court decreed the marriage null
and void.

Bold Thief:

John Reed, as he calls himself, a
white man, forty or fifty years old,
entered the room Of a gentleman at
1853 Front street yesterday afternoon
and helped himself to a new valise,
filed it with good clothes and other
articles Of value, took a new oyercoat
and umbrella and marched out. The
owner came across him an hour or Sc
later trying to sell the things in a
barber shopon Beal street and arrested
him. Reed submitted very quietly
and was marched up the street some
distance, but watched his chance ant
got away. A policeman now appeared
on the scene, chased tho fellow up al
alley and finally captured him. ThiI
morning John Reed, so-called, wa
bound over to appear before the erin
inal court and sent to Jail. The proc
against him is positive, and he will g,
to the penitenfary of course.

ELKHART, Ind, June %.
Yesterday afternoon young man
named George Elliot, borrowed a pistol
from friend and went into his mothers
house and called Miss Mamie Darcy,
his sffianced, into bedroom, saying he
had something to tell her. He locked
the door and began firing; she fell after
the second shot; he then placed the
revolver to his head and shot himself
dead. Miss Darcy recovered conscious
ness but the physicians pronounced her
case hopeless. Elliott was insane
and given to drink. He had seen an
other young man walking with Miss
Darcy in the afternoon, and this was the
immediate cause Of his action.

IN tho right check near the corner of the
mouth, passing downward through the neck
and lodging in the muscles of the right
shoulder, from where it was extracted.
The lower jaw WINS broken and
