Shooting a Wild Man.

Deputy Sheriff Williamson arrived
in Wallowa vally, Idaho, with war
rant for the arrest of the man Odeer.
1t was ascertained that the man was
armed at all times, and even had port
holes constructed in his cabin on all
sides to facilitate his fight against any
parties undertaking his arrest. Men
were stationed near the house to watch
an opportunity to catch him away
from the cabin and take possession in
his absence. On the goth about Q
o'clock, Odeer left the house. when
two of the sheriff deputies, L. S. Cole
and |. w Barton, took possession of
the cabin. Odeer was noticed return
ing in about two hours with pole in
one hand and a Henry rifle in the 9TH
er, When within sixty yards of the
house the officers in the building call
ed him by name and ordered him to
halt and throw up his hands. Instead
of obeying orders he Immediately
drew his rifle in position and started
on quick pace toward the men. The
order to halt was repeated several
times, but the man continued to adj
vance until within sixty feet of the
cabin, when he halted and drew his
rifle to his shoulder and drew a bead
on the portfolio at which Barton was
standing, and out of which he had his
gun projected. AS he drew his gun
Barton and Cole fired, and the man
dropped to the ground with the ex-
preston "Oh, Lord p One of the shots
entered his left breast, one inch from
the nipple, cutting the tendons of the
heart and causing instant death.
He was a single man and had but
little property Letters We're found
on his person which show that his
name was once J. r. Johnson, and
no doubt, he has at some other time
and place been the prepetrator of some
crime.

To which Nine. Lucca replied in the
broadcast Viennese:
you are not quite right, my friend
| am Austrian born, Prussian by in
clination, but, above all, real and
true German.
Even on the way thither, single bull
lets had come across from ''over the
way" but fortunately had passed
harmlessly over their heads. Now,
however, when the party halted, thus
giving the French a mark, the bullets
began to fall thick and close, one of
the pennants was shot from lance
and the horses began to get FESTIVE.
The Sergeant rode up, saluted, and
said:
Frau Baronin, if remain here a
quarter of an hour longer with my
Uhlans, shall not bring back a single
man unwounded; for the sight of an
Uhlan always makes the French spend
fabulous amount of ammunition.
Even as he spoke a bullet grazed his
horses ear.
For Heavens sake, cried Lucca,
startled Don't let any ones life be
endangered on my account Pray,
gentlemen, turn and ride back as fast
as you can, and take my very best
thanks to your Captain.
There was no need to repeat hel
command. The Uhlans having re
ceived instructions to obey the lady
in everything, dashed away with
lightning speed, ane were soon out OF
sight. Shortly after their departure
the enemy's fire also ceased.
Mime, Lucca was now able to look
around, and take advantage of the
quiet, went ON till she reached one OF
the foremost sentries. Here she found
an old, shot-riddled stump, on which,
being rather tired she seated herself,
and taking out her glasses was plainly
able TO see the glistening of the French
bayonets at no great distance. The
ground between the French and Ger
man outposts was literally ploughed
up with shot and shell. Here she
waited for about a quarter of an hour,
but no further shot came. On her re-
turn to Pont-a-Monsson she heard a
soldier remark: she is proof /;
she must be a witchl"
A few day after the battle of Sedan,
Lieut.. Won Rhaden, carefully bandag-
ed and well wrapped up, started for
Berlin, accompanied by his wife and
her maid. AT Feuendorf, near Mann
helm, a Berlin banker asked Nine
Lucca what brought her there in this
time of danger to which she replied
Il have just been to fetch my old man
from the seat of war, for [ think |
shall nurse him better at home than
the Sisters of Mercy could do IN the
hospital.
-Four months after these events Nine.
Lucca became the happy mother of a
little daughter.

A Noted Doctor.

DR.. John Allen, the man who was
first at President Lincoln's side after
he was shot, died in the New York
Hospital recently. He was quiet
old man of 50 years, and had for more
than a quarter of a century been a
border at the Belmont House in Full
ton street. During the time that he
was a resident of this city and an in
mate of the Belmont House, he was
not known to have made warm friends
of half dozen individuals, although
he was polite and kindly in his de
meanor toward all with whom he
came in contact. He was employed
in hospital service at Washington,
where he attended the performance at
Ford's Theatre at which Wilkes Booth
killed President Lincoln. DIR. Allen
was rmong the first TO reach the side
of the dying President, and rendered
the aid that was needed After the
death of President Lincoln, DR.. Allen
returned to New York, where he has
lived somewhat retired life ever
since.

Miscellaneous Farm Notes.

A PRACTICAL farmer has discovered
that chamberlye applied to peach
trees is preventative of the yellows
and he believes a cure for it when
taken in time. He has used it for
years on trees near the house and
never fails of good crop of peaches.
THE boss" fleece of 1883, at least,
is that taken from "Woolly,n a Cali
fornia ram owned by Hutton Bros,
of Los Angeles. 1t is fourteen
months growth and weighs 621
pounds. "Woolly" is a pure-blood
French merino, directly from stock of
the Rambouillet farm of France, inn
ported in 1859 by j. d. Patterson.
The advantage of an ensilaged crop
is that ii makes the farmer indepen-
dent of drouth. Drilled corn or
sugar-cane is rarely injured seriously
by dry weather If the weight is
slightly lessened it is so much the
richer and the small bulk of stalks
will require nearly as much room
in the silo after being thoroughly
pressed.
A SUCCESSFUL melon-grower has
learned that picking off the first form
ed fruit causes the later setting to
grow much larger. This is the
method adopted in growing the enor-
nous specimens sent from the South,
and which every farmers boy has at
one time or another unsuccessfully
tried to emulate. it is a good plan to
pick off the first formed fruit of any
kind of vine to increase its product
iyeness.
Vermont sheep-breeders have begun
to reap a reward for their skill and
care in breeding the Spanish merino.
A flock of 173 sheep, which were Sc
lected from the tlocks of different
breeders ia Vermont, are en- route for
Mr.. John Hay, of Australia, who al
ready owns 92,0 sheep on his two
ranches in that country. These sheep
brought the breeders the handsome
sum Of $50, 600 Four of the rams
cost 81, 900 each. AS the freight from
Vermont to San Francisco was 50, 600,
and the steamer charge from there to
Australia is SIS per head, these sheep
will cost S3j, sos when they reach the
importer.
The practice of some of the best
farmers now is to keep pigs through
the summer ON green food, cut and
carried to the pens, with a little grain
and what milk can be spared after
buttermaking. Spring pigs are thus
made to weigh POO pounds at months
old, and, except the last month, they
get but little grain. The best time to
sell such pigs is at the beginning of
cold weather, usually in October.
The way to grow horseradish is from
the little roots four or five inches in
length. These will produce good rad
ish fit for use in one seasons growth.
Plant the root small end down, and
so that the top viii be two inches un-
der the soil. 1t can remain in the
ground till very late in the autumn
and be pitted, or can remain in the
ground until spring Itcenstantly in
creases, and there is danger that it will
spread too fast and become trouble

ON THE BRIDGE.

II was young Robin and his love
Stood on the bridge at even song
Nights countless lamps were lit above.
Below the streamlet slid along.
Across the rail she lightly leaut,
And gazed into TIE quiet stream.
Wherein she saw with deep content
The buried stars reflected CLEAN;
But never stars shone half as bright
As Elsies eyes that summer night
Around her taper waist an arm
Her gallant Robins gently lay;
In place and hour there lurked a charm
That owed no kinship 20 the day
Familiar sounds upon the gale
Were softly waited 10 the ear.
And from the darkness Of the vale
The love-lorn mavis fiuted clear;
But sweeter than the song he sung.
The words that trembed on her tongue,
The shadows deepen in the dell
Weird bats athwart the water play
And on the fitful breezes swell
The village church bells far away.
Through all the windings Of the glede
The stately trees like phantoms stand,
While love was leading man and maid
Far onward into fairyland
And neither had on earth part
Save only in the others heart.
Anon. from yonder wooded ridge
The cold moon climbs the blue e1panse,
She glorifies the rustic bridge,
Her beams upon the brOOklet dance;
She softly winds about the twain
The radiance Of her liquid light,
AS though for lovers, she would fan
Create a fairer day from night
Her silver siRnet--nOthing 10th
She sets upon their plighted troth.

Superintendent,
The towns of Constantia, Oswego
county. n. Y, and of Vienna, Onei-
da county, n. Y, contain thousands
of acres of land which settlers can
procure at from 50 cents to 81 an acre.
They are tracts lying a few miles back
from the shores of Oneida Lake,
which have been stripped of their
timber and then allowed to revert to
the state through the non payment Of
taxes. The state has given them to the
towns in which they lie, and those
bonded towns are ANXIOUS to have the
tracts peopled, and help tighten the
burden Of taxation.
