Important to Those Engaged.

A decision rendered by Judge
Thayer. of Philadelphia, Saturday
last, illustrates the fact that persons
engaged" to be married have need
to be circumspect about the disposal
of their property. The story Of the
case is briefly this: The late James
Baird, inherited large property
from his father. James was wild
over with children. Both before
and after his inheritance of his faith
er'S property he cOurted the lady
who is now his widow, became form
ally engaged" to her September %,
1878, and married her on the 18th of
November following. A few days
before the engagement" but after
he had declared to several friends his
intention to marry this lady, he con-
yeyed all his real estate, to the value
of about seventy thousand dollars, to
certain trustees in trust for himself
during life. and then to his children
by his first wife. This trust convey
ance appears to have been instigated
by the trustees as friendly act, to
prevent him from squandering his
inheritance, rather than from any
purpose to defraud the affianced bride
of the rights in the property that
would accrue to her upon her mar
rage. Mr.. Baird died in about four
mouths after the marriage, and, upon
his decease. his widow found that
her right to one-third interest for
life in the real estate had been con-
veyed away by this trust deed. She
was thus left without the support she
had depended upon. She was adviS
ed that such conveyance of the prop.
erty by Mr.. Baild at time when he
had declared his purpose to marry
her, and within a few days before
their formal engagement, was unlaW-
ful, ard Judge Thayer's decision has
confirmed this view Of the law by a
decree which restores to the widow
her rights as a widow.

An Excellent Fertilizer.

From Southern Industries.
A German farmer once told the
writer that every year he prepal ed
q heap of manure which, when APP
piled to his soil, made it produce mar
yelOus yields. His mode of prepar-
ing it was as follows, to use his own
language. 81 have but one horse,
one cow and about two dozen fowls.
| save every particle of their drop
pings and place them under a shed
which has a cemented floor; upon
This | spread layer of forest mold,
and in order to preserve the ammo
MIA in it [ cover the dung with an
other layer of mold, taken from the
woods close to my house. continue
this system of layering each time the
stable. COW and hen houses are clean
ed out, also save the urine of the
animals and that from my house.
and pour it upon the heap; some
times | also add a small quantity of
litter from the stable, and, when not
too busy to collect them a lot ofleaveS.
By attending to the heap in person,
and seeing that all the manure is
rigidly saved, find on hand by early
spring large quantity of the richest
fertilizer | ever used. During the
few winter:months it has thoroughly
rotted, and when needed to spread
upon my garden it resembles a heap
ofashes, so completely is is pulveriz-
ed. My garden consists of five acres
of ground, which receives this valua-
Bile manure. On farm where TWEEN.
ty or thirty horses, mules and cattle
are kept, and flock of sheep and a
fair number of fowls, besides their
combined droppings, if treated as
above, enough of this excellent fell
tilizer could be saved each year to
thoroughly manure fifteen or twenty
acres of land, and no farmer should
be at loss to have what manure he
requires, for this is the foundation of
successful farming.

Fought to the Death.

North Carolina papers give an account
OF desperate encounter in st. Paul
township, in that state, between tive
young women, Jane Mcclellan and Fran
ccs McNair. The women had hated each
other for long time. The trouble, il
is understood, had its origin about a
man. Francis was more successful in
retaining his affection than her rival.
The two women met late in the evening
on the main road, and at once cody be-
gan the struggle for life and death.
They clinched and rolled in the road.
Jane was the larger, and got her anita
gonist by the throat, and had nearly
choked her to-death, when Frances made
desperate attempt and succeeded in
throwing the victorious woman from
her to the ground, and then, as Jane Law
PROSTATE, the Infatuated woman drew a
dagger and plunged it in the heart OF
the other, who gasped and died.
Then the victorious rival swooned to the
earth at sight of the rocking wound, and
fell across the body of the woman she
had just slain.

New YORK, July "A cable special
to the World from Louis J. Jennings.
dated London, says: tine information
which | cabled to you last week about
the unpromising condition of our crops,
has been verified by the many inquiries
J lave since made in all quarters. Hav
and clover are very heavy, but much Of
the growth is down, and the weather is
decidedly unfavorable to the chance Of
getting it in good condition. Wheat is
thin and poor, having been checked by
the spring frosts and the cold nights
which we have been having down TO the
present time. In the Midland districts
the farmers have given up all hopes of
getting more shan half crop. In the
home counties the prospects are better,
but the crop everywhere must be light
and the loss to the already sorely-tried
agricultural community severe. This,
of course, will add greatly TO the diff
culties surrounding the land question.
