VERY PECULIAR DEATH.

Joseph Holderman, of San Francisco,
man of slight frame and large head, whose
age was about twenty-five years, became alb
sorbed one night last winter in Bulwer's
"a Strange Story" When he had come to
the end of the novel Holderman felt that his
cheeks were flushed with fever and he begun
to gaze into a mirror at his own face. 1t
occurred to him as he SO stood to wonder
how the face before him would look when
he died. His undue nervous state caused
the idea TO remain in his mind, though re-
peated attempts were make to escape from
the morbid fancy. Before going to bed he
scratched out the date just passed from
calendar on his dressing table. He tossed
about upon his pillow for an hour or more
before sleep came and when sleep did come
il brought no rest. His dream was that
men brought coffin containing his own
dead body to his bedside. He felt impelled
to glance at the calendar and TO his horror
saw that the days seemed marked of up to
April 16. When he looked again at the cof-
fin ii was gone. Holderman's mind was in
q very unhealthy condition and he broodod
and brooded over the dream, which required
upon the following night and upon several
other occasions until April 7. That day the
sufferer told friend and the friend slept in
the room with him. But neither the friends
presence nor the help of physicians did any
good for on the morning of the 18th the
wasted victim Of his own fancies died crazy

PLANTING OYSTERS.

The oyster business in these waters 10 now
very active and has reached nm interesting
stage -" tho planting" A description OF
the modus operandi will perhaps BIO new
and entertaining to many of the oyster
loving readers of the Sun. There are al
feast thirty vessels engaged in the business.
The oyster "plants" grow in the mouth
of James river, some eighty miles from this
place. and it takes trip of about five days
for good schooner, with favorable winds,
to make the trip, and get load and return.
Every morning feet leaves this harbor for
Hampton Roads, the schooners having
capacity of from $50 TO 1000 bushels each,
the average being 800 bushels. Tho beds
of plants, which are known in the trade as
cullintines." are rich in the natural growth
in the Roads, and q hand can with his tongs
take up one hundred bushels day of the
young oysters. They are about the size of
half of an English walnut, and he gets
six cents per bushel making wages at from
$3 to SO per day A favorable trip Of
from twelve to fifteen hours puts the vessel
in Chincoteague Bay, when they are mostly
planted in the Maryland waters from fifteen
to twenty miles above this point
The planting consists in scattering them
in the bay SO that they will lie thickly at the
bottom of the water and not more than
touching each other The whole cost Of
planting to the owner who hires the vessel
and the work will reach twenty cents a
bushel He has his ground, or his water
rather, staked off, and in two years his oys-
ters are large enough to be taken up and
sent to market. They command fifty cents
bushel here or $11O in Baltimore. Phila-
delphia and New York, and the finest So
per barrel of three bushels. = Chtnco-

ETTTRMfNATING WILD GEESE.
Forty RiHemen Employed by n California
Planter to shoot the Fowls. - 81


Various methods have been devised of ex.
terminating wild geese without avail, until
geese herding has become a profession as
distinct as herding or trapping. In the early
winter the geese appear in the grain counties
in myriads, travelling about in vast fiocks.
Their hunger is Unsuitable and the new wheat
is rapidly destroyed DR.. II. j. Glenn,
whose ranch in Colusa county covers most OF
the arabic land in that county, numbering
some 5000 acres, or nearly twelve square
miles, expends about $1,000 year in herd
ing his geese. He recently purchased in
this city for the present season between 50,
900 and 80, 900 worth of cartridges, about
$50, 900 in number, of 44-calibre. He has
constantly in his employ, while his wheat is
growing, about forty men, all of them mount
ed and nearly all armed with Henry rifles
and field glasses, who patrol his property
during the day and on oil moonlight nights.
These men are regularly organized into a
patrol guard. They discover with their
glasses the focks of geese, which at dis
lance of from 300 TO 400 yards look like a
white blanket spread over the green wheat,
and they thereupon plant bullet right in
the middle of the flock. This unexpected
visitation sets the flock on the wing, and the
herder follows them up, keeps planting bull
let's among them until they rise to great
height, and, disguised, leave the vicinity.
Few geese are killed, the object being to
keep them on the wing and consequently of
the wheat fields. Those that are killed are
carried off and shorn of their feathers, but
the revenue from them amounts TO little.
On DR.. Genn's ranch about 5000 cartridges
are used in day, which represents about
10000 geese daily put to fight
Oftentimes thick fog blows in, and this
appears to be the favorite time for the geese
and they devour the wheat with great energy.
The herders then, fearful of shooting each
other, are almost baffied, but when the fog
rises the Aocks are put to fight and for hours
thereafter the air is filed with feathers and
geese and Glenn's ranch resounds with the
clatter of rifles and the frightened cries of
the prosecuted fowls. To pay his men, buy
ammunition and maintain horses costs DIR.
Glenn some $40, 900 per annum, but it saves
his wheat, which yields $loo, 200, as without
the geese herders half would be destroyed.
The herders become very expert in their
bueiness and are generally good shots and
capital horsemen.-San Franeisc0 Call

THE LAW OF HOMICIDE,

u
| No part of the law of England is more
elaborate or more difficult to reduce to any
thing like order and system than the law re-
lating to homicide in its different degrees.
The act relating to offenses against the per-
son throws no light upon it whatever 1t
provides in few words for the punishment
OF murder and manslaughter, but it assumes
the legal definitions of these offenses are
known. OF these definitions have not
space to write with anything like the full
ness which they deserve. will only say in
general that upon full examination of the
different legal decisions which have been
given by the courts, and the different expos
ltions of the matter which have been made
by writers regarded as authoritative, it will be
found that the apparently simple defini-
lions already given and quoted below, re-
quire, in order that they may be fully un-
derstood, that answers should be given to
the following questions First, What Is
homicideg Must q child be fully born be-
fore 1t can be killed, or Is it homicide TO kill
living unborn infant? Is II homicide 10 /

ans heart by Systematic unlsindness, which

rope to drowning man If person hav-
ing the charge of child or infirm person
omits to render proper services whereby
death is caused, is that homicide2 II ply

ton and dies, has A killed b? Or suppose
the operation is performed and B dies Of
the operation, has killed b? Does il
make any difference if the operation was un-
necessary or was unskillfully performed9
Next, in what cases is homicide .unlawful2
The full answer to this question involves
statement of the law as to the cases which JUS
tify the use Of personal violence, and in par
ticularits use for self-defense, for the proven
ton Of crimes, for the arrest of criminals, for
the execution Of legal process, and for the

we have assigned, by answering these ques-
tons, definite meaning to the expression

to distinguish between the two Glasses into
which it is divided by defining each Of the
words g malice and aforethought.n Does
the word "aforethought" imply premedi-
tation extending over a day, an hour, q min
ute, or is ii practically unmeaning word A
variety of authorities show that it is prac-
tically unmeaning. If man with loaded
gun in his hand suddenly conceiyes and ex-
eeutes the intention to shoot dead an unof-
Tending passer-by, his crime is regarded by
the law of England as being, to say the very
least, quite as bad as il he committed 1t at
ter long deliberation. The Hon. Mr.. Jus

POETRY
TABLRAux.

The sun OF Austeriitz had set
Behind thepantry door;
Napoleon sheathed his cleaning blade
And laid II on the floor:
The Iron Mask took on MS wig
1t hurt his ear, he said;
And Queen Elizabeth removed
Three-quarters of her head.
The next thing was Ubiquitous, sf
which seemed TO please them all;
And then we played The Prodigal,
And then tabieaud The FAN;
But snipes, who took The serpent's part.
Got hungry probably;
At least he ate The Apple up
And qliarreled with The Tree.
larky spirit was abroad, af
Which spoiled the serious things,
And led the girls to giggle at
Apoliyon,s awful wings I
And when the final scene was set
ofMary Stuart's death,
Poor Mary was in such gale
She couldn't catch her breath
Agioomy court, a headman's block
All hung with weeds OF woe,
An Executioner In black,
taper burning low;
wierd, funereai, solemn scene.
Impressive, gloomy, dark;
WITH ~ the iSgafRJf Ssegtdipne
Too bad J but Mary looked SO sweet
And had such pretty hair,
The headsman leaned upon his axe
And kissed her plump and square;
Then Perky Jones, the eowied monk,
SO grim, and stern, and slow,
Turned somersaults across the block
And spoiled the whole tableau.
Then buzz of talk, and change OF seats,
And daughters merry peal,
Broke up the show, and all the boys
Took partners for reel.
And we at Jones's Corners think
That trying to be jolly
Is better, thirteen months year,
Than limp, aesthetic folly .s
