Lightning That Killed = whole Herd
the nI one stroke.


One of the most extraordinary freaks
OF lightning ever recorded in this sec.
ton occurred in the upper end or this
county Wednesday afternoon. Rev.
Henry Moon is one Of the most success
Iul farmers in the county. His farm Is
located = mile above Blue Springs, al
most opposite SOddy, a few miles above
this city. Wednesday afternoon, just
before the storm which proved so de-
structive in this city arose he was en-
gagged in his stock yard feeding his cat
tie and hogs. Thele were twenty-seven
hogs in the pen ana two cows stood by
the trough. The storm arose suddenly,
and without any warning 3 bolt OF
lighting flashed across the sky, fol-
lowed by 3 crash Of thunder aud rain.
Mr.. Moon hastily scampered to his
house, but before he had proceeded two
hundred feet the sky lit up with anOth.
er vivid and binding flash, aud almost
simultaneously came 3 terrible crash Of
thunder, which seemed to shake the
very mountains.
The Mopn felt the shock, and was al
most knocked down. He hastily turn.
I'd, and an appalling sight met his gaze.
A huge tree which stood near the stock
pen had been struck and was splintered
and around the stump lay every no
and COW which he had but y moment
before fed, and all struck dead by the
terrible bolt. Some Of the carcs-ses were
blackened, but the majority hsa no out
ward indication of their terrible death.

GARDEN CROPS YET TO eRow.

Sbrewd gardeners are ever on the
alert to get all they csn out of the small
plot of ground at their disposal. Some
will get three crops of certain kinds
from the same lard, but two are very
common with many. Forinstanee, the
early peas can be sown for a fall crop,
and very welcome they are: Beans, the
early and snap varieties, may be yet
planted. Lettuce a be sown in drills
to head; spinach for winter use; the
Golden Globe, the China and red
turpip-rooted Radish for winter use;
the Turnip, of course, which we have
already spoken of more at length Cab
bage, II planted at once, may yet head;
and so with Ruta- Bags. But they must
oil have the best attention-if fair crops
are expected. II we consider for a mo-
ment We shall see how nicely extra
crops Of these things will come in at q
period when they are not usually enjoy
ed, or can be put away for winter.

HANDLING TOOLS.
To the E,iitor Of The Rcgis'cr.

Man is the only tool using animal.
The degree to which this art is carried
denotes the degree of II civilization
and elevation. As we progress in our
attachments in art or agriculture this
progress is the result of utilizing i'm
proved tools and labOr-saviug michin-
cry. There is a man in this town who
has made himself rich and famous by
inventiug machines and implements.
Our attaiDments in this line for the last
three-fourths of q century lies between
the rude sickle and the wonderful self
binder, the fail and the steam-thrasher.
And still We are not done yet. 1t does
not take 4 sage or q prophet to see that
our blowing, harvesting and threshing
will one day be mostly done by steam
or some other motive power. In the
handling of the more simple tools [ find
great ignorance prevails. The princi-
pie of cutting with edge tools does not
seem To be al sll understood. | had a
Swede once whom 1 told to chop a lit

ing motion, exactly like the Swede Ia
the woOdpile. In hoeing, if the weeds
are tough, the same rule should apply.
The philosophy of cutting any material
is not to cut square against the grain,
Uut with a slanting cut or sliding mo.
ton at least this applies to any depart

1t will soon be too cool at the seaside
to battle, and tn" bathing sheds will be
taken down aid stored for next year,
and bathing suits sent back to Chat

The beginning of the end is to be
noted at Long Branch. The leading

Excellent fishing is now 10 be had off

number OF New Workers.
They have been indulging in straw
rides at Narragansett these moonlight
nights, and although ''awlully nice"
people, yelled and screamed coming
home like a party from Hon. William
McGlory's.
No rich young man at Newport has
had his skull cracked for hunting, polo
playing, or Casino dining for forty

thing, is exceedingly surprising.
There came to a New London hotel

The crowd at Ocean Grove the last

TO KEEP VERY SHADED PLACES GREEN

Especially in the front yards OF dwell

are much shaded, We often sec the
ground completely bare, not a living

many nearly nude, Struggling limbs ly-
ing upon the ground or very near it,
which are unsightly and every way
worthless, that ought to be cut away.
This would give for the growing

be adapted to 1t, and which would not
only cover the naked spot and make it

much to the general appearance of the

ifthe proper attention is given to it, but
not otherwise. Ii is a beautiful vine
and will densely cover the ground, pro-
ducing nearly he whole season a very
pretty blue flower. Weeds, however,

many years without renewal.

KEEP The BUILDINGS PAINTED.

The manufactures of paints keep al
most every description prepared
ready for use, and in suitable cans to be
tire nsported, with such brushes as may
be needed Tor domestic purposes. Some
of the paints, which would answer very
well for outside work, can be purchased
at very moderate prices. Hence there
is no reason that there should be- found
among farm-dwellings ami out-hOuses
~ many Ot them going to decay Tor
want of Il little paint, which the owner
or his boys could readily apply without
difficulty, thus not only adding to the
general appearance Of the buildings, bat
greatly tending 10 their preservation.
n comparison with this the cost Of the
paint ana labor j. n mere triile and not
worth counting. 1t is the woodwork
on the outside of buildings which suf-
fers, presenting a most unsightly APP
~peaIance, and begins early to decay. a
good cOat of paint as often rs may be
needed would preserve it for at least
twice the length Of time that would bP
the case in the absence of paint. This
fsct is worth serious consideration, as il
VIII be foundthat, instead of causing An
expenditure of money that many must
think is thrown away, to look at the
shabby appearance of their buildings,
it will prove an absolute saving. 1t
should he remembered that money
wisely 8 sent IN cases like this Is doubly
saved.

periority. The food is not good, aeas

the climate is exceedingly warm, the
colored attendants seem only concern
ed as to the amount of money they
can get from the guests for the least
accommodation, and there are many
other disagreeable features. At the
HALEY Springs everything about the
place is neat and in good order. The
lady added: 81 will go out to the

Jack was shot through, and as he fell
