THE LATE JOHN MURPnY.-Mr. John
Murphy, prominent publisher and book.
seller, of the city of Baltimore, died at the
Carrollton Hotel, in that city, on Thursday
afternoon, 9th ult.
The Sun and Gdzette, in announcing his
decease, take the occasion to pay to his mem.
DRY that consideration he so well deserved
The San observes that "his business career
extended over forty years, and during that
time he did much to elevate the standard OF
law publications, and may be looked upon as
one of the most successful printers of the city
In manners he was quiet and transformations
and respected by all who knew him for his
many kindly qualities" The gazette states
"the death of Mr.. Murphy will be deeply re.
GREETED, as he was a truly charitable and
Christian gentleman, enterprisng and con.
scentious, kind employer and a highly re-
spected and useful citizen"
His funeral ceremonies were performed at
the cathedral, in Baltimore, on Saturday
morning. The pail bearers were Messrs A
s. Abel, s. Teackle Wallis, Henry Bogue d
J. Foley, Thomas G. Yearley, d. A. Boone
B. G. Harris, F. X. Brennan and J. H. Mill.
kin. Rev. E. A. McGuirk preached an i'm.
pressive discourse. He spoke of Mr.. Murphy
as father, a citizen and n business man, in
all of which relations he was guided by
Christian principle Especially as publish.
er he made 1t a rule that nothing should issue
from his establishment but what would tend
to instruct and elevate. No prospect oil
worldly gain could induce him to depart from
this rule"
Mr.. Murphy's numerous friends in Hartford
especially those who knew him well, from
both personal and business relations, fully
appreciate the great loss the community has
sustained in his death.

THE COOLEY CREAasER, One of greatest
labor-saving and most profitable inventions for
the dairyman is the Cooley creamcr BY this
system the cans Of milk are submerged In cold
water, and in twelve hours all the cream rises
TO the top. The readiness with which milk and
cream absorbs odors Of various kinds isIwell
known. BY the Cooley system the exclusion ofthe
milk and cream from the air prevents the alb
sorption Of disagreeable odors, and the result, II
is claimed, is purer and sweeter butter than by
any other process. Cooley Creamers are mad,
of all sizes and are invaluable in dairy,

the use of the army of the Uuited States as

from the interference or even the presence OF

failed to clear himself, but, on the contrary
the circumstantial evidence that the alleged
outrage was of his own connecting was SO
strong against him as to justify the recorder
in demanding that he be tried by court-mar-
tial for conduct unbecoming q cadet and a

of the recorder and Whitaker was arrested

Wilber's Direct Draft
EUREKA MOWER

| THIS unriyalled machine has been fully tested
| l. in the field in Hartford county, for two sue
cesslve seasons, and can be warranted to possess
the following points of superiority and advantage
l. Absolute Direct Drdft.-A principle that all
Moving Machine inventors and manufacturers
| have been trying to arrive at for years.
q ACKNOWLEDGMENT ch gives the choice of side
| to NOW on, working the machine back and forth
on the side hills, cutting back and forth across
of moving with them, always cutting long swaths
all features of great advantage in practical
work.
8. Ease Of D,af.-Admitting the use of a Ave-
feet or siX-feet cutter-bar without overworking
the horses by practical use we have fully de-
monstrated that six-feet bar is worked with less
power than required on the average to work
eutter-bar four feet long on side-cut mowers.
4. Rdpidlty Of Ct7ing.-Caused by leaving the
cut grass nearly standing-the most favorable po-
siton for the sun and air to have full effect upon
every part of it. Nothing more is necessary for
curing rapidly and evenly. The sde-cut mowers
are compelled to drive horses and mower over the
cut grass leaving it In fiat and compacted posi-
tion the top only being exposed to the air and SUM-
which is over cured, while the grass is still green
under.
s. Simplicity Of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES away with
the bowel gear, and other complicated and expen-
siye features of the old sde-cut principle.
The use of Wilber's Eureka Mower enables the
farmer to cut grass rapidly and evenly. BY randi
cutting the extra time gained for curing is of Inn
mense Importance.
1 cordially invite examination, investigation
and criticism. j want every farmer who expects
to purchase mower this season, to first try the

Railroad. Mr.. Patterson stated that he was au-

adelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore road, to
say that he would sign an agreement for his
company, to bridge the Susquehanna at the
mouth of Deer Creek, and continue the Philade-
phia and Baltimore Central Railroad to Bel Air
provided the directors of the Delta road would
convert their line from Bel Air to Baltimore in
to broad-gaugc road. The directors of the
Baltimore and Delta road did not think suffi-
cent amount of money could be raised along the
line to make the change At the same time they
suggested that some arrangement might be ef-
fected with the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad, by which the narrow gauge
road might be made portion of through
route from Philadelphia to Baltimore, and there
by receive the benefit of all the through freight
and passengers transported over it.

Splendid Workmanship.

Glass-ball shooting and various other
exhibitions of skillful manipulation of
parlor rifles are at present attracting
considerable attention both in Europe
and the United States. Otto, a son of
Joseph, Nez Perces chief, gave an ex-
hibition of fancy shooting in San Fran
cisco parlor which stands unequaled.
The scene of operations was room
sparsely lighted and the general circum-
stances rather unfavorable for successful
shooting. The incidentals for the shoot
ing exhibition consisted of triangular
wooden frame, al the apex of which a
bill poster representing the figure of a
man had been pasted, piece of glass
about one inch square inserted for an
eye, and at the other corners of the
triangle set of brass knobs were in
serted in the frame. On either side,
above and below, slanting iron plates
were fixed to cross bars and numbers of
glass balls hung at various distances
from each other. At the back of the
apparatus a gong occupied central
position. The first experiment consisted
of blindfold shooting. A nickel five-cent
piece was glued to the figure, and the
young sharpshooter, blindfolded, turned
around in various directions and was
finally placed in direct line of the OBJ
ject with rifle minus sight, and at a
distance of some twenty-five feet. The
first shot sent the nickel flying around
the room, and on examination an linden
tation was found on its very edge. The
second test consisted of placing a small
piece of tinted paper on the glass used as
an eye for the figure, and then placing a
large piece of cardboard in front of and
touching it so that it was completely
hidden from view. The shooter was
again blindfolded and the first shot
shattered the glass, the bullet having
passed through the very center of the
tinted paper. There were various other
tests, such as breaking three swinging
balls with one shot and breaking ball
placed Immediately behind the attend
ant, the ball, owing to previous contact
with the brass knobs or iron plates, tax
ing circuitous course.
