ton, engineer of the Louisville and Nash.
vile Railroad, returned to his home this
day from a trip on the road and found
his wife in bed unconscious and ct her
side four year old adopted child dead.
A note was on the table, written by Mrs.
Newton, to the effect that she had given
morphine to the child and taken dose
herself for the purpose of destroying the
life of each. Tho father Of the boy,
Ames Stusser, the husband of Mrs. New.
toms deceased sister, was to have been
married to-day, and she was apprehen-
sive that he would take the child from
her and this prompted The attempted de-.
struction of both lives. 1t is thought
that Mrs. Newton will recover.

A few years ago large farms were
all the rage in England. Small hold
ings were secuted, and confideat pre-
dictions were made that they would
share the fate of the hand loom and
the spinning wheel. Now the tide
has turned, and it is running as
strongly in the other direction.
Large farms cannot be let; small
holdings are snapped up at once.
According to Land, there is all
through the west and the midlands
the keenest competition for small
farms, and men who a few years ago
were in possession of farms of 200 or
25O acres, without possessing the
capital necessary for their proper
cultivation, are now taking farms of
40 or 80 acres, upon which, If they
have less capital than they had five
or six years ago. they will have a
larger capital in proportion to their
holding, and better security, than
they had to encourage them in the
free use Of their capital and skill
alike. An agricultural, if not an
agrarian, revolution is thus going on
silently. which can hardly fail pro-
foundly to modify both the political
and social conditions. of English ru-
raj life.

The delightful climate of California
has its disadvantages,and among these
one of the most serious is the strong
and chilling winds that blow from the
ocean at some points along the coast.
What makes this particularly impor
tant is the fact that the soil is often
cultivated to the very verge of the
beach, where vegetation, grain, and
fruit, that would otherwise flourish
luxuriantly, feel the winds keenly. 1t
is now proposed to remedy this evil
by planting dense rows Of hardy trees
along the coast to form a barrier
against the winds. That would also
serve the useful end of helping to fix
the shifting sands. 1t is more than
lillel y that i'll course of time the coast
of California will present the novel
spectacle of unbroken woodland ex-
tending along the very edge of the
ocean for hundreds of miles.
