Killed at Her Wedding.
Troy IN. W Times. !

In the midst of the great events of the
war such incidents as the following were
comparatively unnoticed and left to be
long afterward related in print: Miss
Annie Pickens, daughterof the Governor
Of South Carolina, was 10 be married on
April 22d, 1868, in Charleston, to Lieut..
Andrew de Rochelle. The wedding party
was assembled in the Pickens residence,
and the clergyman was asking the bride
if she was ready, when a shell from a
Union gun in the hsrbor broke into the
room and burst. Nine persons were
hurt, but only Miss Pickens' wound
proved fatal.
She bore the pain with wonderful for
titude, and was unmoved when informed
she had only an hour or two to live. De
Rochelle said that he would like to have
her die his wife, and the poor girl smiled
sadly in assent. The guests remember
the scene as far more pitiful than they
can describe. The bride lay ON sofa
her white dress dabbled in blood, anc
her hair disheveled, while her pallid fact
was SO wrung with agony that her efforts
to smile became futile. The ceremony
was hurriedly performed though th'
brides 'yes' was in faint. labored whis
per, and her lips hardly movedin respons'
to her husbands kiss. She died imme
diately afterward. -

An Indian Animal Charmer.
Hondon Telegraph.l

Strange stories reach us from India of
the feats performed by native mesmer-
izer named BUM, whose magnetic power
would appear to be found quite irresisti-
BILE by the lower animals, upon which
he usually exerts it. He gives seances
to which the public are invited to bring
all manner Of ferocious and untamable
wild beasts, and, like the Ancient Mari
ner, holds them with his glittering eye.
In few seconds they subside into con-
dition Of cataleptic stiffness, from which
they can only be revived by certain
"passes" which he solemnly executes
with his right hand. An account of one
of these seances states that a snake in a
state of violent irritation was brought
to BUM by menagerie proprietor en-
closed in wooden cage.
When deposited on the platform it
was writhing and kissing fercely. BUM
bent over the cage and fixed his eye
upon its occupant, gently waving his
hand over the serpent's restless head. In
less than minute the snake stretched
itself out, stifened. and lay apparently
dead. Buni took it up and thrust sew
eral needles into its body, but it gave nc
sign of life. A few "passes" then re-
stored it to its former angry activity
Subsequently savage dog, held in 8
leath by its owner, was brought in, and
at Buni's command, let loose upon him
As it was rushing toward him, bristling
with fury, he raised his hand, and in 8
second the fierce brute dropped upon his
belly as though stricken by lightning
1t seemed absolutely paral zed ny some
unknown agency, and was unable tt
move a muscle until released from tn,

his hand.

TRY to have clean fields this year.
Erehange.
That is excellent advice, but we
cannot remember year in which the
farmer who makes the trial would
have been less likely TO succeed than
the present. Wet weather is succeed.
cd only by wetter, and weeds flourish
almost without precedence. At this
writing, with the fall months not yet
reached, We look out of our window
and see wheat stubbles covered with
growth of rag-weed, smart-weed
and weeds of all sorts, quite as thick
and almost as high as the wheat
which was taken of only last month
Even in this case, we are "trying 70
have clean fields" by moving the
weeds, and drawing them into the
barnyard TO be trampled into the
manure heap, where they will "do
the most good" But the rains come
so fast and so "wet," that even in
this we are hindered most discourag
ingly. or course the young clover
(ot which We have an exceptionally
good catch, owing, as we believe, Il
narrowing the wheat, and sowing tho
clover seed upon the freshly harrow
ed ground) grows in fair ratio
with the weeds, and il we can sue
ceed in getting them cut, and prompt
ly removed, before the clover Il
smothered, we shall expect TO see |
make a splendid growth, enlarginG
and lengthening its roots, and furnish
ing a heavy coat of mulch for th'
ground, both of which will greatly
tend to prevent 1t from "freezing out
during the winter.

Exhausted Already.

The older settled districts in Min
nesota can no longer be depended
upon for the yield of wheat which at
FIRST rewarded the labor of the farmer.
The land will not produce q greater
average than eight bushels to the
acre. The ground has been sown
and resown with wheat until it Is
exhausted. New crops must be tried,
and the fields from which so much
has been drawn must be rested and
reinvigorated. Land can be worked
to death as we'll as men and women.

Do Not Plant More Trees than You can
Care For.

Corrospondsncs Of Nsv York Tribune.
1t is so easy to set out little tree,
and it seems like such a good thing
TO do for ourselves and for posterity,
that there is a great temptation TO
plant more trees than can possibly
receive proper attention. This, of
course, does not apply to those who
make fruit culture speciality, but to
the busy farmer and others who have
little leisure 10 attend to yard crops
and orchards for home supply. The
harm done by this system Of over
planting is not confined TO the owner,
who is deprived OF the fine fruit that
might be his, but such neglected
trees furnish n harbor and breeding
place for numerous insects destruc-
tive to fruit trees, and the little tree
planted with such magnanimous in
tent becomes curse instead OF
blessing. How much better, then, TO
have fewer trees carefully tended,
with more and better fruit, and fewer
insects to disturb the peace of the
fruit-prower.

Bits Of Agricultural Wisdom.

The good farmer does not pasture
his grass fields close in the fall of the
year.
Glover that sends its roots deep
into the earth is considered the best
sub-soiling agent TO be had.
If you want TO increase your clover
fields manure them well; you can not
increase them faster in any other way.
Whenever you see farm upon
which year after year no improve
ment is made you may be sure that
the farmer neither reads, observes
nor thinks.
Corn cut off in season is 10 per
cent. heavier than that left standing,
which will pay two-thirds of cutting
and husking then you have the very
best of feed in form of fodder, which
is worth from 10 TO Is cents a shock.
In all our planting and cropping
we should remember that our farm is
our capital, and that increasing its
productive capacity means adding to
our principal, while by reducing its
fertility we take away the means by
which we live.
Agitate the manure question; throw
everything in the barnyard, keep
your stock in your yards, do not
have them running in every field on
the farm and on the public highway.
Then You will begin TO see what the
manure will do for your rundown
