A Romantic story.

Bnena Nesta Ill Ohio has its idyl.
Two or three years ago Mr.. Farney
took charge of the high school there.
One OF his pupils was Miss Woolftan,
and almost instantly teacher and pupil
fell III love and became engaged. Old
MIR. Woolitan, proved wolf indeed,
and refused TO consent TO their union.
Farney resigned The school, but before
he left town called, with the Woolftan
consent, for the last interview with the
beautiful brunette. AT his request she
sang the sadiul song of Burns-"Had
we never loved sac kindly, had we
never. loved sac blindly," they wouldn't
have come TO grief. Then Mr.. Farney
went away in the darkness and tears.
and three days aiterward his body was
found in the Ohio River, six miles
above Cincinnati, and buried. The
girl was inc0Dsolable, of course; but
las; June she married gentleman
who consented TO take her with the
perfect understanding that she should
not love him. In December the hus-
band was killed in a railroad accident
on the Cincinnati Southern, near Lex
ms ton. The widow withdrew entirely
from society, but in March gentleman
presented himself for acceptance and in
twinkling was accepted. 1t was Mr..
farney, who was not dead and never
had been, the man drowned abov
Cincinnati being another party altogeth.

shady places where the sheep resort for

A Potato Experiment.

A correspondent of the Home and
Farm gives the following experiment
with potatoes: "Last spring divided
piece of land into two parts, one-third
and two-thirds respectively, which |
planted with snowflake potatoes In
one-third of the piece | put perhaps
more than one quart of saw-dust to the
hill, placing the potatoes on the saw
dust and covering well with earth.
The remainder of the piece was planted
without sawdust. To my surprise,
when j had dug them, / found that
had obtained nearly as many bushels
from the onc-third part which had re-
ceived the sawdust as from the rest of
the piece, the one-third part producing
larger, smoother and more marketable
potatoes from each hill than did the
twO-thirds part. do not think il will
have the same effect in the same soil
every season. The philosophy is this:
Potatoes thrive best in loose, mellow
soil and in seasons not too wet. There
fore its effect can be most etlectually
demonstrated, and the contrast be
greater if the experiment is tried in
land that is apt 10 bake and become
hard, as the sawdust will allow the

have the best effect in wet seasons, for
the sawdust will absorb the wet to ONE
extent, which will cause the sawdust to
rot. This will furnish the potatoes
with food, which will be a substitute
for manuring the hills. The most prac-
ticai mode of preparing the land for
planting. is this: After having the
land well ploughed, mark your rows
for planting with a pillow, making the
burrows three feet apart, and from
three to five inches deep, putting the
sawdust in the hills according to the
distance You wish the hills apart, being
careful to cover the potatoes well. We
think those whose manurial facilities
are limited, could use sawdust to adj
vantage, as il is good material fol-
mulching, and can be obtained at from
one-half to two cents per bushel."

The Model Farmer and his Bows.

"Make II Engllsh.o

Mr.. Fox, the father OF the orator,
Charles James Fox, trained his son from
childhood TO share in the government

count for its disappearance until she
read the TIMES The goat was bought
N augusta, Georgia, III 1875. and cot
$3.50. 1t was now worth much more
than that.
The TIMES man could not give Mrs.
Norberg the name of the shootist who
killed the ''mountain" goat, but he
said that lie would do the next best
thing. He then told Mrs. Vorberg to
call on Mr.. Bews, at the Merchants
Hotel, or on W. T. Riley, at Riley 4
Tracy's drugstore. and they could
probably give Der tie desired name.
Mrs. Norberg, satisfied that she would
find out all about it, left.
Mr.. Vorberg, since his team ran
away and threw him out of his beer
wagon, at Vienna, has lain sick in bed
at his brewery up Croy's gulch. He
