We take the following from the
Montello Enpress, an article dated at
Kings+on, July %:
Frank Utley, aged about % years,
shot and killed his father Uriah Utley
yesterday in his own house five miles
west of here, on the Montello road, at
about 4 P The report reached here
about P. NJ, and Frank Gross, JUS
tice of the Peace, Immediately repair
ed to the house Of the deceased with
a jury of six men, who held an
inquest and found the deceased came
to his death by means of seven pistol
shots in his head, and that the shoot
ing was done by his son Frank, who
was sworn and confessed that he did
it in self defense, that his father came
at him with a butcher knife. 1t
appears that no other parties were
present at the time of the shooting.
Frank was committed to hartford Jail
to-day, for murder.
It appears that the revolver was
held so close to his head after the
first shot, that the hair was powder
burned. Deceased was IS years of
age and has lived in this town and
neighborhood the past 80 years. and
leaves a wife and seven children, three
OF them minors It appears the fam
lily has not lived happily for many
years, and it is rumored, the deceased
willed ali his property to his three
youngest children. His estate is
worth $4,000. Great excitement and
indignation is manifested here on ac-
count of the unfortunate affair.

THE NE w RUGBY.

The writer met portion of the ad-
vance guard of migratory Britons few
days since upon train leaving Cincin-
natl bound for the Plateau 1t con-
sisted of handsome, well-built man,
of about forty-fve, formerly a school
teacher, his fresh, rosy-cheeked wife,
seven boys, veritable Tom Browns
every one, and the grandmother, eigh-
ty-seven years old, who gave fine evil
dence of English endurance by under
taking at this advanced age journey
of four thousand miles by land and sea.
What fine group they made, indeed,
at the station, standing by their bun
dies of wraps and inevitable collection
of umbrellas and walking-sticks How
they contrasted with the gaunt, sallow
long-jointed mountaineer who stalked
before them
From the father of so many sons
much information was obtained, which
may as well be given in his own Ian
guage: "You see, we are literally
crowded out England has popula-
ton more than double that with which
she can comfortably get along. If a
man loses a situation it is quite impos-
sible for him to find another There's
my eldest sou he was capable bank
accountant, and was glad to get ESQ
per Year There are now, no doubt,
hundreds of applicants for his place,
and that, too, from men of fine educa-
tion and broad experience. The next
younger boy is nineteen. He got sew
en- shillings per week. | could give
you plenty of instances where young
men of good education and influence
are working for half pound weekly.
Men of fifty are almost completely
barred out of pursuits on any terms"
What" the writer asked, "is your
opinion of the probability that the great
pleasure grounds of the nobility will
revert to agricultural uses ?"
That relic of feudalism, entailed
property, will have to give way before
many years, and open these grounds.
There is one thing which may hasten
that consummation. The parks of the
nobility are heavily mortgaged in many
cases to money-lenders 1t is the great
exception for the British farmer to own
the land he tills The rents are some
thing oppressive. | had farm of 24O
acres. The rental Was f320-more
than equal to the price of good farming
land in America / raised corn and
wheat and sold dairy produce. After
all accounts were settled at the end of
the last year l had ESQ with which to
meet the balance of rental due, which
amounted to EGO My case was but
the repetition of many. Read this let
ter which received this morning from

! vicinity owned by Pesquiera, and two
days after we started out for Arispa
arriving there late in the afternoon
/ This is one of the most curious old
cities in Sonora Once it was the
capital of the State and had many
handsome buildings. The. spec;a. oo-
ject ofinterest now is an ancient church,
once famous for the magniicence of its
alter. Even now, after being des-
poiled many times, enough remains to
give one good idea of its former
splendor The festoons about the al
ter are of solid silver, as likewise was
the cross Beautiful paintings of the
sufferings of Christ, in rich frame
adorn the walls. The town is row Il
dreary picture of desolatiol-shorno of
all its former life and Importance
A rough ride of another day brought
US to Bacanuchi, another stock-raising
hacienda Here again, to use an
American phrase, we were in ''the
back woods" where the most primi-
tive customs prevail. At one place
near by large farm was cultivated by
an intelligent looking man and his six
sons. The house was destitute of ta-
BILE or chairs, so the wife served lun-
cheon upon a large palm leaf on the
floor, and we are squatting in Mexican
fashion. Next morning we started for
La CGnana, sixty miles distant Here
we met General Pesqueira and his son
and w. r. Chadsey, the mining ex-
pert. General Ignacio Pesqueira is to-
day the most popular man in Sonora
To say this in country where mans
popularity and reputation last while he
is in power or successful in politics,
is, indeed, saying great
deal. General Pesqueira has
ever been the idol of his people.
While in office or out of it he has held
the confidence of his countrymen. A
man of character, strong will and mag
natism, his influence in Mexico is pow
erful. He possesses marked natural
abilities and great foresight. We spent
three days with him, inspecting mines
and ranches, and found him thorough
ly conversant with these two great
industries upon which the future of
Mexico SO largely depends. From La
Canana it is one and half days travel
to Tombstone, where we visited prom
inent mines; but of these you hear
every day.
During our trip we frequently slept
on the ground, but failed to discover
the tarantulas, centipedes or rattle
snakes, of which so many stories are
told. We were annoyed by none of
these reptiles, nor could we learn that
they were common in Sonora.

WILL EDUCA TTON YIELD
SUBSISTENCE?

An education, yes but what sort of
an education A bricklayer's educa-
tion, an artisans. farmers, would in
deem help him TO earn living. A col
lege education would give him social
advantage, but it would not, in itself,
increase bis change of earning living:
it would rather diminish it, For, as
was pointed out in an interesting pa
per lately published in this Magazine,
our colleges do not, like the French
and German universities, instruct a
young man in the bread-winning pur-
suits; the American colleges are, on
the contrary, institutions for general
culture. | do not take up the ques-
tion here of the amount and value of
the culture they supply. The point
for US TO note is that the educated
young American who has not a special
education as bread-winner is worse
off, as to his money prospects, than
the young American who has no col
lege education at all. Dig he can rot,
and to beg he is ashamed. Two of
the professions at least are fatally over
crowded. The United States, with a
population not greatly larger than that
of the German Empire, graduates every
year FIVE times as many physicians
for the German Empire limits the num-
Der of It's doctors, and we do not limit
that of ours Very many of our ply
sicians not only wait years Tor practice,
but never get into practice at all. 1t
is much the same with the profession
of law In both professions there are
prizes for a few, and failures, more or
less complete, for the many. The en-
gineering, mining, and other scienti fc
professions offer somewhat better
chance, and public life, almost neglect
ed as profession, will attract bet.
ter class of young men year to year.
But upon none of these, save in favor
ed and exceptional cases, as where a
son succeeds to his fathers practice,
can a young man depend for fortune,
or for immediate support. They, too,
offer certain social dignity But as
rule it is the laborer, artisan, or
tradesman that has the better chance
of supporting himself: it is the edu-
Gated man that has, more frequently,
to wait before he can pay his way. If,
therefore, we educate our sons, it is all
the better reason why we should pro-
vide, not indeed for their independ-
ence, but some aid during the years
which they are likely to spend in
waiting before they can achieve their
position.
1t is to be remembered, too, that
these years of waiting may become,
with such aid, years of scholarly or
scientific accomplishment, if not of
money-making; years that might in
troduce and brighten career, instead
of wasted years that cloud or spoil it
