GOING INTO THE WOODS TO DIE.

The Effect of q Mothers Harsh Words on q
Delicate and Sensitive Child.
From the New York Sun.
On Monday forenoon, for four continu-
GUS hours, the rain poured down in this
neighborhood. Just before the storm brok
Mrs. Anna Relvea, of Sleightburg, seeing
hel twelve-year old adopted daughter Alice
sitting languidly in the room, screamed to
the child:
Get out of this room, you little wretch!
Why don't you 60 somewhere else to lie
aorund! Get out of my sight!'
The pale, delicate child looked meekly
into the mothers eyes, and her sad and
suppicant gaze would have turned heart
of stone. For few moments she stood in
dazed kind of way, and then, with long
sigh of resignation, went into an adjoining
room and threw herself ON lounge. A
short time afterward the mother went into
the room, but the child was not there, and
she. did not see her again until afternoon,
when she was brought senseless into the
house by number Of boys. The boys
had found her Lying insensible on rock
supposed she was tramp, and began to
pelt her with stones. On advancing to-
ward her, however, they discovered who
she was, and seeing her unconscious and
blue, they thought she was dead. The boys
were small, and the sight frightened d them
very much. They went for crowd of larger
boys, and they carried the apparently
ifeless form to her home. It vas night
fall before, by rubbinRs and baths and the
administering of proper stimulents, the
child was restored to oonciousness, and it
was many hours before she could either
speak or walk. When she was enabled to
speak she said that feeling sad and almost
f0rsaken, with no one to love her, she de-
termined to gointo the woods and lay down
to die. When she arose from the sofa the
rain had not begun to fall, but the sun was
shining its brightest. Wandering on
through the woods, she at length, tired and
worn out, lay down on a rock, and gradual
ly became unconscious, and probably from
weakness. There sho had lain in the drench-
ing rain. for four hours, until found by
the boys. When her mother asked her why
she had gone away, she answered, with tears
in her swollen eyes:
81 thought mamma and papa didn't love
me any more, and went into the woods
where God looked down on me, and where
the birds sang me to sleep"

Mulichinock. Major shumate. the agent

Mulichinock. Major Shumate, the agent
of the mining company, recently left withla
party consisting Of men, women, and chill
dren most of them from Albemarle. Sew
eral went from this immediate vicinity.
Several hundred able bodied men have
gone from this county since Major Shu-

are doing well, and some making money.
Our farmers say that the loss of this labor

MARRIAGE A LA MODE.

A hat, q cane,
Anobby beau!
A narrow lane,
A whisper lew.
A smile, a bow,
A little f1irt,
An ardent VOW
That's cheap as dirt.

Quite at ones ease
Must needs be bliss.
A ring, a date
A honeymoon,

It was too soon!

The Fallacy of Large Farms.

And still the cry is for more land.
Why don't they CRY for more brains, or
more food for the brains they have, and
let the coveted acres 90 until they know
what to do with themp Many say that
they had rather let their land lie still
than to hire help, and SO it lies as still as
they can make it. However, it does not
lie quite still. 1t is an elephant on their
hands, eating with its huge teeth Of in
terest and taxes a big hole into the
titled acres for its unworthy support.
This is the cause of It. 1t is no Govern
ment bond that can be hid away and is
the better for keeping quiet, but there
it is, exposed to the assessors eye, ex-
hausting the strength OF the owner and
the profit of the rest of the farm for its
Improbable existence The land-pos-
sessing mania has worked more mischief
with progressive farming than any other
one obstacle ever found in its path.
That it springs from worthy motives it
is impossible to deny, since the holders
of much of this land have inherited it
from long line of ancestry who would
consider the sundering of part sac
rilege. The ancestral yoke has proved
bond of strength In keeping certain
families true to the love of soil, though
it may be questioned whether it has not
always been the means of extirpating
many a family, root and branch, who
would otherwise to-day be in posses
sion of home, had the call of duty not
yielded to the call of pride.
Could a computation of wasted ener-
gies, time and means in our methods of
farming ever be made. it would be
enough to set every farmer to-day in an
independent position on his estate.
Think of the average returns of the
farmers through the country, 1t is
enough to make man blush with shame
for the honor of his profession. All be-
cause he viii not concentrate his nerv-
Gus and muscular energies, his interest
account, taxes, and labor hire upon a
less number of acres.
Concentration means power; flu
SION weakness When that point il
reached that the land fails to pay inter
est on its valuation, taxes and market
rates of wages for the time bestowed in
cultivation, it had better go into the
hands of the next man who stands ready
to try his power upon it. We viii
hazard the assertion that enough is lost
to the farmers every year through this
holding of more land than they can
swing to pay for what extra help they
really need to make the rest of their
land return what il should. -Paanter'

Tricks in Prison.

One OF the duties of Keeper j. S.
Brown, of Auburn, n. Y, State-prison,
is to dress all conviets whose time has
expired, and while discharging this duty
he has Intercepted a number of contra
band articles. The EUenang THURMAN
tells the latest dodge attempted in the
State clearinghouse. 1.-TWO szebras'
who had served their time were brought
down to MIR. Browns Office to receive
their citizens outfit. They were given
their clothing, and one of them was
about to draw on his boots when Mr..
Brown noticed that the stitching at the
top OF them was not uniform. He asked
the man for the boot, and taking his
knife and cutting the stitches he found a
number of letters secreted in the leg Of
his boot, intended for outside parties.
The other man had donned his Citizen
garb, and thinking he might have some
correspondence secreted about him, Mr..
Brown made him remove his boots, and
upon exploring them he found wadded
in the toes of the boots, between two
layers OF cotton, number of letters
also designed for the outside world.
Both men were ordered to disrobe again
and put on the striped uniform of the
State. They were turned over to Prin-
cipal Keeper Boyle, who sent them back
to their shops. They have forfeited their
communication for good behavior, and
will remain in prison until the authorities
feel disposed TO release them, which
may not be until after their sentences
have expired. All convicts are allowed
to write to their friends once month.
Their letters pass through the chaplain's
office, where they are examined before
passing out, to see If their contents are
objectionable. When convicts desire to
communicate with friends that they are
in want of articles forbidden by the au-
thorities, they generally employ some
outgoing striped to carry out their let
tiers for them, which generally contain
directions where to send the contraband
articles, and by whom it viii be brought
inside. One of these letters once fell
into the hands of the officials which
contained an order for three revolvers,
accompanied by the request to go to
certain friend In Buffalo, who would fur
nish the money TO purchase them with,
and after they were bought they were to
be delivered to an ex convict who was
lettering about Auburn, and he wonld
slip them under the north gate, where
the hostler, who went out early in The
morning, would bring them TO the writer,
a twenty-years man, who, with some of
his companions, proposed to use the
weapons in making their escape from
one of the wings in the night by shoot
ing down the guard"

bear story, as follows, which win be

A Student Eseapade at CorneH.

The quiet that has obtained of late in
student circles was interrupted last
night by a bold move on the part of GER
tain members of the sophomore class.
1t seems that the freshmen had arranged
all the preliminaries for holding a sup
per at the Ithaca Hotel this evening,
which, of course gave the sophs long
watched for opportunity to play
some sort of practical joke
upon the younger class. The
ajoke'' finally decided upon was to ab-
duet the officers of the freshmen class
and keep them hid until after tonight.
Everything being in readiness, the at
tack was made,and at the first onslaught
the Toast Master, Prophet-and Historian
were bagges. Inspired by their success,
they proceeded to the Sprague Block,
where the freshmen president was sup
posed to be sleeping. But In this they
were mistaken. Messengers had been to
his room and informed him of the unex-
pected attack, and before the sophie
mores had recovered from the flush of
excitement he was slowed away in q
place of safety.
As soon as it had become noised about
that the students had been spirited away
measures were at once taken to ferret
out the place where their abductors had
taken them, and ex-Chief Sullivan and
one of the new police force were detailed
to the work. They got clew which
led them to believe that the freshmen
had been taken out of town In north
erly direction. Following this clew they
soon struck a good clear trail, and after
travelling it some SIX or eight miles they
came to the hotel on the Ludlowville
Road known as the Rogue Harbor Zap
propriate name In this instanee), where
the missing students were found The
three freshmen were surrounded by
party of sophomores numbering some
ten or twelve, who kept a close guard
over their captives,a but for the inter-
ference of the authorities would have
had no trouble in keeping them prison
ers until such time rs they might see fit
to return to town and let the freshmen
find their way back on foot according to
programme. The police beside bring
ing back the freshmen are also credited
with capturing a squad of the sophie
mores. whom they also brought to Itha-
