OUTRAGES IN L

Accounts from New Ross confirm q reS
port received on Monday morning to the
effect that Mr.. Thomas Boyd, Crown soil
citor aud agent tor Mr.. Tottenham, was
fired at while driving on a car on Sunday
with his two sons and his nephew at a
place called Shanlough, near New Ross.
They were met by an armed party of men
with their faces blackened, who diScharg-
ed guns at the Car and shot one Of Mr..
Boyd's sons through the lungs, inflicting a
wound OF which he has since died, and
wounding Mr.. Boyd himself in the arm
The other young men escaped, although
one of them had his trousers torn by .
bullet, which grazed his leg. Mr.. Glad
stone Boyd, the nephew, owed his escape
to the fact that he is an expert runner, and
one OF the assassins who pursued him was
unable to overtake him. There is no
doubt that the outrage is agratian. The
young man who was murdered was Mr.,
Charles Daniel Boyd, the younger son,
He was a graduate of Trinity College,
Dublin, and was ony 90 years of age.
Colonel NOLAN, C,B.. R.M., and Mr..
Dawson Mil ward. J.P., opened on Monday
an investigation into the circumstances con.
nected with the outrage. Four men,
namely, Patrick and Michael Whelan (bro-
thers), Walter Whelan (their c%ousin), and
Murphy their brother.in-law). as well as
AnastasIa Wbetan, sister of the frst-named
prisoners, all being tenants of Mr., Boyd.

being concerned in the outrage. and were
remanded.
A later account gives some further par
~ticulars of the outrage. Mr.. Boyd was pro-
ceeding on o car, with his two sous Evan
and Charles. and his nephew Caldwell
Boyd, from Chilcomb, his residence. ppo
site to New Ross. on the other side of
the river, to Sbanlough, an estate which he
purchased some years ago, about a mile
distant from bis residence. As the car,
which was driven by Mr. Caldwell Boyd,
was proceeding on the road, three men.
with masks on and frocks over their clothes
jumped out on the road from behind the
ditch. Each was armed with a rife and
bayonet. Two of the men fired at Evan
and Charles. One of the bullets struck
Charles in The lung aud went through his
body. The man who fired at Evan put
the bayonet within about three inches of
his mouth and pulled the trigger. Evan
had jlst time to push down the b%ayonet, and
the ball instead OF passing through his
mouth passed through bis trousers So

Render Rural Homes Attractive.

The importance of making country
homes more attractive has already been
urged upon the readers of this journal,
but the matter is one which will bear
frequent mention. 1t is especially in
order now, as spring is the season in
which to improve country, village and
suburban homes. In recent lecture
Regent J. M. Gregory, of the Industrial
University of Illinois, sought to stimu-
late the growing disposition to render
country and village homes attractive, by
showing that beauty has decided mar
kct value. 6 For example, Of two farms
Of equal excellence, the one on which
the grounds about the buildings are
tastefully planted with shade trees and
ornamented by flower beds and we'll
kept lawns, will sell quickest, and for
most money, besides contributing most
to the comfort Of the daily life Of the
owner and his family" These are CO.
gent reasons--increased value of prem
ises, and comfort of occupants-and
should be needed by all whose home
steads present an unattractive appear

A Good and Wholesome Harvest Drink.

AS alcohol drinks have happily long
been driven from the harvest fields, there
have been various drink besides water
substituted, but scarcely any of them
meeting fully the conditions sought for
in the way of a wholesome satisfying
beverage. Water, even in all its purity,
does not seem to quench the thirst and
stimulate the body, as it produces addi-
tional perpsiration and passes through
the pores almost like passing through
colander, leaving the system exhausted
and weak; besides, drink of cold wa
ter, when suffering under great de-
gree of heat, is dangerous, even at
times producing sudden death. Latter
ly in England and elsewhere drink is
prepared by mixing oatmeal with wa
ter, in the proportion of three or four
ounces to a gallon of water This is
found not only to satisfy the thirst bet
ter than water, even when tempered
with vinegar or other acid, but to pro-
duce additional strength of body. Oat-
meal possesses a peculiar aroma and acts
as very active stimulant TO the surface
of the skin as to cause the complete
digestion of the liquid. Men employed
in an atmosphere of the intensest heat
are much comforted with it, and become
very fond of it.. Hence it is in a meas
ure "vituals and drink" possessing
only virtues and without any drawbacks
whatever.
Just now the time is here to give il
trial; and we shall be glad if at the end
of the season those substituting the oat-
meal and water will make report as to
the results.

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
A Farmers Experience with Grows.

A city paper tells of the experience Of
Long Island farmer with crows, as
follows This farmer founded his anti
crow method upon the fact that crows
are accustomed to rely upon the scare
crows to inform them of the locality of
cornfelds. He eowned large farm, part
of which was devoted to corn, part to
potatoes, part 20 turnips and part to
cabbage. He took the precaution of
sowing the seed by moonlight, an hour
after the crows' bedtime, so that they
could not watch him, and when all was
ready he spent nearly an entire forenoon
in rigging up an imposing scarecrow in
the turnip field. During the afternoon
he noticed that there was great deal of
excitement among the crows, who were
earnestly digging for corn and finding
none, and about o'clock he saw them
desert the field and hold mass meeting
in an elm tree, where they passed reso-
lutions with all the order of a Demo-
cratic Convention.
The next morning the farmer re-
moved the scarecrow to the potato field,
loudly remarking to his assistant as he
did so that he could not understand how
he had made the mistake of putting the
scarecrow in the turnip-feld. AS be-
fore, the crows flocked around the scare
crow and dug up the ground, confident
that this time they would "strike it
rich" in corn. Their subsequent Ian
guage was something frightful, and their
opinion of the farmer was expressed in
terms that an Arkansas editor in his
most earnest moments could not rival.
The next day the farmer removed the
scarecrow to the cabbage-f field. This
time the crows did not wait for him to
leave the field, but began to dig while
he was still at work. In a very few
moments they were satisfied that there
was no corn in that field. In their rage
they fell upon the farmer and drove him
into the house, after which they flew
away, and not crow has since been
seen within ten miles of the place. Be
yond any doubt, this is the true way in
which to treat crows, and were it to be
generally followed by farmers, the crow
would either starve to death or would be
driven out of the country.
