A Serious Charge.

John West, colored undertaken, was
charged in the Police Court this morning
with carrying corpse to Beckett's grave
yard, in the county, and leaving it there
unburied. The circumstances, which will
be investigated tomorrow, are stated to be
as follows: West, in order to procure the
permission of the family of the deceased to
bury the corpse, promised that it should be
buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, and went to
the Health Office and obtained permit for
that cemetery which he showed the family
of the deceased. He was unable to pay the
necessary costs for interment at Mt. Olivet
and conveyed the body to Beckctt's where
the owner refused to let him bury it without
q permit for that place, and he left it there
saying that he would go for permit.
West did not return, and the body remained
unburied for three DAYS.

this morning as the friend of Gov. Hamil-
ton to inquire into the facts concerning the

Clare, second daughter Of the governor, and
Mr.. Jack Stanhope, of Hagerstown. Stan

and on one of his visits secured marriage
license from the courthouse and made ap.
plication to be married DIR. j. w. Murray
of the NJ. p. Church, consented to perform
the ceremony, as the parties were said to be
OF age, and accordingly married them. The
marriage was denied by the friends of Mr..
Stanhope and Miss Hamilton, and it is only
to-day that the truth of the marrige is
made public, and is known to the friends
and family of the contracting parties. Miss
Hamilton is at school and Mr.. Stanhopt

An Astonishing Proceeding.

A Washington dispatch to the New York

A leading member of the Bar who, in
common with his professional brethren, was
astonished at the procedure of the govern

An amusing story is related concerning
Mr. Bradley, the new dean of Westminster
He was once staying with the Arnolds, in
Wcstmoreland, when picnic was arranged.
Lots were drawn as to who should stay at
home and mind the house." and the office
fell to Mr.. Bradley. On the return of the
picnic party he remarked that a." it was a
very good thing he had stayed behind, as a
tramp had tried his best to get in through
the drawing window, and would have
done so had it not been for him. The
tramp, as most people endowed with imagi-
nation would have guessed, was the poet
Wordsworth.

Relative Marriages..

Some interesting statistics have recently

who permit such marriages, the proportion
is one in 1000, while among the Hebrews,

A contemporary notices two modes of
destroying this weed, says the Country
Farmer, one of which is to be a table
spoonful of salt on each stalk or stub,
causing the plant to wilt, become dry
and disappear by October. This is
recommended as better than the other
mode, which is to cut off each plant with
a knife just below the surface of the
ground, as II does asparagus. These
modes may answer for very small patches
in gardens, but any one may easily
contrast its economy in labor on a large
scale on a farm, with the rapid work of
turning the plants under with a pillow.
We have destroyed many acres in this
way, so that not a plant ever reappeared.
A strongpairof horses will turn sod
eight inches deep, and much lower than
the knife in the hand will go; and if the
work is thoroughly done and no stalks
left, the plants will stay under the
inverted soil for three or four weeks,
unless in very porous or light soil, which
must be plowed oftener. The only
failures which we have known with this
treatment was where the blowing was so
imperfectly done, II SO long intermitted,
that stragglers found their way to the
light and furnished e feeding to the
roots below.

Agricultural Items.

There is much refuse fat from the
kitchen that can be turned to good
account by feeding to the hens. OF
course where soap is made it will be used
in that way, but it Isl question whether
it is not much easier and more profitable
to buy soap and make the hens lay by
feeding them with fat. Everything that
is not wanted for drippings for cooking
purposes should be boiled mp with the
vegetables for the fowls.
