The LABoRERs. No men living are

PATS JOKE Some time back, when a
lofty building was on the point of compile
ton, a mason was in the habit OF whistling
to the laborer who attended him whenever
he wanted fresh supply mortar; and. as
the scaffold on which he worked was
rather small, this occurred very often dur
ing days Job. A joiner who was fitting
a window. noticing Pat answer dutifuliy
to every call from the mason, determined
to trick him by initiating the whistle. and
thus brought him up with hodful of
mortar when there was no room for it.
The mason told Pat that he had not
whisted, so he had no alternative but to
trudge back with the load. This having
occurred third time during the day. Pat
thought he would watch to hear where
the whistle came from. He had not wait
ed long, with the hod on his shoulder,
when he heard the identical whistle under
nelth where he stood. and leaning over,
he saw the head of the joiner protruding
from the window immediately below. Pat,
without more ado, emptied the hod over
the whistler's head. The joiner yelled
and spluttered while attompting to clear
himself from the adhesive mass, and, in
the midst OF his confusion, heard Pat
above, shouting at the top Of his voice

Suppose you're dressed for walking.
And the rain comes pouring down.

Because you scold aud frown?

And 50 make su shiue IN the house
When there's is none without?
Suppose your task, my little man,

And wouldn't it be nicer

And learn the thing at Jnce7
And suppose the world don't please you

else, if it is good representation and still

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

As this was one of the union meetings
held in connection with the New Hamp-
shire board of agriculture, it would be
proper to state that Mr.. Davis and Secre-
tary Cutting attended the one held at
Lebanon. while Secretary Adams, Hon.
Moses Humphrey, the veteran farmer and
chairman of their board, Mr.. Harvey, Mr..
Goodell and Superintendent Sanborn, at
tended various sessions Of the one held at
this place.
The audience having assembled at 2
o'clock, the meeting was called to order
by Mr.. Davis. in absence of the chairman,
who introduced Mr. Humphrey of New
Hampshire, who proceeded to speak on
the subject of Corn Culture" Although
seventy five years old he does not intend
to give up fal ming as long as health and
strength admit. He referred to the time
when New Hampshire and Vermont raised
all the corn needed for home use. There
is no reason why we should not do it now
In New Hampshire $l,500,00 has been
paid out in one year for corn. No farmer
can afford to buy corn when it can be
raised so cheaply here. One acre of corn
in New Hampshire will bring as much as
four in Minnesota; why then shonld we
not raise itp If this can be done in New
Hampshire, it certainly can in Vermont,
with her superior soil. If farmer has
no manure his experience is that he can
afford to purchase fertilizers for the pur
pose. We should plant corn on suitable
soil, as there is great difference in this
respect. He wouldn't take natural grass
land, as the labor of production will be
greater than on light soils. These are
more easily handled and the labor will be
greatly abridged; would plant year after
yeer on the same land and expect good
results with proper treatment. He spoke
of fields having been in corn for 40 and so
years. He raises about 10 acres annually
usually obtains from 81 to 60 bushels to
the acre. To renovste grass lands plows
after haying and seeds again to grass, us
ing manure or fertilizers. This practice
works well in his state. He would advise
farmers not TO manure too heavy for corn.

more. He would not put any in the hill

The statement is as follows:

Product, twenty-five tons per acre, or
seven hundred and fifty tons in all, which
would make the entire cost as above
eighty-five cents per ton. This will keep
one hundred and twenty'f COWS seven
months, costing 81 81 per COW. With
this would give two quarts of corn meal
per COW, day, whcn for seven months
would cost So 40 per COW, with corn at
sixty cents per busnel, making the entire
cost of winlering COW only $l2.7l.

A Very singular Accident.

A very singular and painful accident
occurred to John Burns yesterday, says
the Tuscarora Times-Review, which in
all probability will result in the loss Of
sight to one of his eyes. He IL engaged
in teaming. and while on a grade in the
vicinity Of Eagle Rock, on the Elko road.
his wagon began to slide toward the outer
edge, and while applying the whip to his
Swheelers in the endeavor to avoid a cap
size. a piece Of copper wire with which
it was bound became detached and entered
the upper corner of his left eye to the
depth Of three or four inches. coiling
around in the socket in almost a complete
circle, leaving some four or i've inches
projecting. He Immediately started for
town on horseback, but was overtaken by
the stage at Meadows and brought in,
when surgical aid was rendered, and this
morning was as comfortable as could be
expected.

A WIFE.
She Takes HIP with Another Man
A Shooting Scrane Results.

A Shooting Scrape Results.
Chris. Hansen, a Dane and laboring
man, who has been living with his wife in
a cabin opposite the Eureka Con. dump
for a year or 80, went out to Ruby Valley
early in August to work on q ranch. He
was gone about twenty days, and on his
return he found his home deserted and his
wife gone. This was Thursday. He was
told the story of her infdelity, and driven
to despair he fell to drinking and drank
until he became almost crazy. The
women told him his wife bad gone with
VIM. Scherr, another Dane, to Secret Can
yon and was living with him there. This
is the story as Hansen tells it: He says
Scherr had tried to capture his wife last
Winter, but she repealed him, and he
(Hansen) thought no more about the
affair. Crazed with drink, Hansen went
out to Secret Canyon on Monday to hunt
for his wife. He went to Scherr's saloon,
but instead of meeting his wife, who ran
away, he encountered Scherr. He started
in to charge him with running his peace by
prostituting his wife, and used such terms
of abuse upon him as came first to his
tongue in his rage. A fight ensued, in
which Hansen got several rough ticks,
whereupon seeing, probably, that he was
getting the worst of it, he whacked out
a Colts army revolver and commenced
shooting. He fired but one shot when
parties interfered and put a stop to the
row. The shot stunned Scherr for a mo-
ment, grazing his head and cutting the
skin to the scalp from the forehead back
wards. Hansen was hindered from run
ming away after the scrimmage by Mr..
Dougherty of Secret Canyon, who stopped
him with a shotgun. He was then caught
and bound tight with baling ropes until
word had been sent to Officer Wallace, who
went out, arrested him and brought him
to Jail yesterday morning at 8 o'clock.
He is in terror of his life, thinking he has
been guilty of a capital offence and that
he will be hanged. This thought. with
his constant dwelling upon his wife's con-
duct, has we'll nigh driven him daft. He
says he never would nave thought it of
''Pete" (Scherr) or of his wife. He and
"Pete" have been old friends from the
days of the White Pine excitement. and he
never would have believed he conld doubt
his wife. He is 48 years old and she is SO.
He dwells affectionately upon her figure
and face and says she is a fine woman.
We agree with him that she is a daisy.
