body of an infant in the cellar of the Atlantic

the hogs dug it up.

asleep, and was smothered by the bags falling
upon him. While the father was extricating
him the other boy who had leaped out of the
wagon in fright, was kicked by the horse and
instantly killed. The father, nearly crazed
with grief, returned home with the bodies of
his two sons on the wagon.

few days since on the Orion plantation, near
Wilmington, N. G. He had been pursuing
Belle Jones, insisting that she should marry
him. Becoming jealous and angry at her
refusals, he went to her home and found the
poor woman there with her little child. He
rushed at her, but she fed. He drew heavy
knife as he caught her, and with one sweep of
the blade cut her throat from ear to ear while
he held her on the floor. The murderer then

Postmaster General Howe, in the letter laid
before the House Of Representatives giving
his views as to the expediency of abolishing
the postage on newspapers and magazines,
says that about 81, 900 annual revenue is
derived from this source, and to make news
papers and magazines free will of course
increase the deficiency to that extent. The
deficiency for the year ended June 80, 1881,
was 81, 481, 129. Mr.. Howe believes that the
saving effected under the new contracts in the
star.ronte service will nearly cover this defic-
iency. The increase in business, however
will increase the cost of handling the mails
and transporting them by rail. For this reason
it can scarcely be expected that the service will
be entirely self-supporting for some time to
come.

Depth to Plant seed.

Some years ago we made series of
experiments on wheat, corn, oats and
beans, covered at carefully measured
and different depths. The soil was
moist, SO that the seed germinated
freely when quite near the surface. At
half an inch in depth wheat came up in
five days; two inches in seven days; three
inches in eight days; four inches in ten
days. and at six inches deep in twelve
days. Five weeks afterward the plants
were most vigorous from those planted
half an inch and an inch in depth, but
scarcely superior to those from a depth
of two inches. The others decreased in
vigor with the greater depth. At six
inches there were but few slender stalks.
The soil was strong, rich, we'll pulver-
lied loan.

Potato Culture.


Mr.. Ewing, of Dayton, o., in an essay
read before the Montgomery County
Horticultural Society, said: my way of
cultivating the potato is to pillow the
ground deep, and taen thoroughly pull
verize it, making it as mellow as posi-
BILE; then mark it both ways three feet
wide, and three or four inches deep;
take good-sixed potatoes and cut the
seed ends off, for we do not want all the
eyes that are on this end of the potato;
cut them in pieces so as not to have
more than two eyes to each piece. Of
ten one stalk or vine will produce more
marketable potatoes than three or six.
After cutting them properly, drop two
pieces in hill. As soon as the pota-
toes come through the ground cultivate
them, cover them all up. This strength
ems the plants and leaves the ground
fresh in the hill, SO that any grass or
weeds that may have started will be
covered up. The ground should be
stirred once each week until the new
potatoes are formed and set. There is
no danger of cultivating too deep until
the tubers begin to form; the drier the
season the deeper the cultivation and
the oftener. After the tubers are formed
l prefer not to cultivate too deep nor
too close to the hill, thereby DESTROYING
the little rootlets that run out from the
vines to collect the nourishment the
plant needs"

Shropshire Sheep In 1881.

An annual summary Of Shropshire
sales in England in 1881 contains some in.
teresting particulars. Very satisfactory
results were obtained in spite of agri-
cultural depression, and inquiries were
numerous. The highest price obtained
for ram during the year was 2O5 gum
cas-, at which sale thirty-three were sold
giving an average of ego Is. Cd. per
head. For ewes the highest price oh.
tanned was 932 lis, and the highest
average was f6 les. Sd. for flock of
80. The compilers OF the annual state
that if England is kept free from cattle
disease, sales of the best class of stock
will be quite as good in the future as in
the past.

CAN SLEEP RELEASE THE SoUL7

In illustration of the mysterious brain

story appears to be more remarkable than
any of the narratives that have yet ap.
peared In your columns. A friend of mine
told me that it was related to him many
years ago by my mother-the "Ann Tay.

Infant Minds" etc.-and she mentioned
the name of the family concerned. Certain
circumstances led me to believe that the
family referred to was the Watkinsons.
resident OF Lsvenham, in Suffolk. A son
of the family had gone to America. One
summer Sunday afternoon they were at
tending service and occupying large
square pew near the pulpit, in what take
to have been meeting house. 1t was hot.
the door of the small building was wide
open, and one of the party, who sat lcok.

him also, but at that moment he vanished.
This strange occurrence naturally raised
sad forebodings, but in course # time a
letter arrived from the subject of them of
later date than that of the vision, and it
appeared that he was still alive and we'll.
He was then written to and asked if any
thing peculiar had happened to him on that
particular Sunday. He replied that it was
odd he should remember anything about
certain Sunday then SO long past, but that
certainly something peculiar had happened
to him on that day. He had come in,
overpowered with heat, and had thrown
himself upon his bed, had fallen into
sound sleep, and had strange dream. He
found himself among the trees before the
country chapel; service was going on he
saw them all, the door being open, sitting
