of q peculiarly sad nature occurred Oh the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad on Monday
evening last. as the New York express
was running between Bentonyillc and
Front Royal, the fireman OF the engine,
Denton Hcrriugcr, left his cab, and,
crawling back over the tender, won't
through the baggage car into passenger
coach, where he obtained glass OF water
from the cooler. lie then started Dackto
the engine, and went safely through the
passenger and baggage cars. 1t Is sup
posed that in climbing upon the tender nc
lost his hold, and, the train going rapidly
around Il sharp curve, he was thrown oil.
His lifeless body was found along the side
of the track by some train hands few
hours after the accident. An examination
showed that death was instantaneous, his
neck being broken. lIc intended taking

A Discovery About Corn.-An

exchange tells OF u man who plants two
or three weeks after the corn is planted a
new hill OF corn every fifteenth row, each
way. And this is the reason: If the
weather becomes dry after the filling time
the silk and tassels both become dry and
dead. In this condition, if 1t should be-
come seasonable, the silk revivcs and re-
news its growth, but tho tasssls do not
recover. Then, for want Of pollon, the
new silk is unable to fill the Office for
which it was designed. The pollen from
the replanted corn is then ready to supply
silk, and the filling is completed. He
says nearly all the abortive ears, so COM
mon in all crops, are caused by the want
of pollen, and he has known ears to dou-
BILE ia size in this filling.
