A serious and sad accident occurred at
Glymont on Tuesday last by which DR.. A.
G. Tabor, of No. 1417 Cofcoran street, a
well-known resident of this city, was Sc
riously injured. Mr.. Tabor was surveying
at Glymont, and engaged in running line
over an embankment twenty feet high,
when he was precipitated to the bottom by
the giving away of tree to which he was
holding for support, and thereby received
serious injuries. He was brought up to the
city in the steamer yesterday afternoon,
and after his injuries had been attended to
by Drs. Reyburn and Bliss, was removed to
his home, where he now lies in compara-

Are the Louisiana Lottery Drawings


Their two commissioners, who superlntend
their single number drawings, when inter.
viewed on the subject, reluctantly admitted
that the numbers which were placed In tubes
and put in the wheel were only counted tiOlce
a year. They draw the lottery every month.
Is not this q bareface fraud? Their excuse is
that II would take ten days labor with four
assistants. How then can any ticketbuyer In
this lottery know that the number of his ticket
has corresponding number In the wheel? II
they desired ap honest drawing why do they
not on the day OF and Just before their draw
ings allow the ticket holder the privilege OF
calling out his number and see that II is placed
In the wheel, so that he can then hayo
some chance oflt being drawn out with prize
from the other wheei? Other lotteries have
done so, under their system. Why don't
they mako their capital $1,000,0002 They
might as we'll. Is not the published list OF
winners In their lottery also fraud7 II is very
easy for few dollars TO get persons
who are willing TO let them use
their names as tho holders OF big prize.
Why don't our citizens investigate this matter
before they foolishlv throw away their money?
II is no longer a wonder how they controlled the
louisiana constitutional convention, courts
AMI Legislature, and former postoflce I'D
ministration, and so impudently violate the
laws OF 80 many OF our cities. Under this sys.

money enough TO control and run our very

Raising and Feeding Swine.

At the Swine breeders meeting in
Chicago, the committee on raising and
feeding swine, in their report made the
following suggestions:
That the most important point IN
raising swine is health. Only the
strongest and most vigorous sows are
fit to be used as breeders, and they are
to have only one litter a year. The
boars should be pure bred and healthy
It is desirable to have the litters come
early in the spring. While breedln g
the feeding should consist of grass and
clover in summer and rye, roots and
bran in winter. High grain feeding Il
not good for breeding sows in summer
They should have large range anc
good grass and clover. Pigs should b'
weaned when 10 or II weeks old. |
pigs are to be fattened for killing The
year they are born they should hav'
most liberal feeding and good manage
ment. If they are kept over the win
ter they should have the run Of gras
or clover, with little or no grain feed
ing.

Pearls of Thought.

Anger and haste hinder COOL coun-
sci.
Ridicule dishonors more than dis.
honor.
No solitude is so solitary as that OF
lnharmonious companionship.
One ungrateful man does no injury
to all who stand in need of aid.
Kindness is the only charm permit
ted to the aged it is the coquetry OF
white hair.
Experience is torch lighted in the
ashes of our hopes and decisions.
Comparison, more than reality,
makes men happy, and can make them
wretched.
We should seek more OF the practi.
cal realities of every day life and less
of the ethereal.
We must consider humanity as a
man who continually grows old an
always learns.
Wondrous is the strength Of cheer
fulness; altogether prst calculation
its power of endurance.
1t is so easy to mediate on far-off
heroism, so difficult to cut off a little
self-indulgence quite near at hand,
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1883-12-21
Seasonable Hints.

Chickens should not be allowed to
roost on trees this kind of weather. 1t
is cold, and will injure fowls, except
turkeys, thus exposed.
If one wants plenty Of fresh eggs
from his hens N winter, they must not
only have warm shelter but plenty of
nutritious food from which to produce
the eggs.
In these inclement days it is not so
surprising, where numbers of towels
are kept shut up in poorly ventilated
houses, that some of them fall ILL.,
This is almost inevitable.
Ground bone, bone meal, and fine
granulated bone are all merchantable
articles nowadays, and large quantities
ofthis economical provision for poultry
are used by those who understand its
value.
To fatten flows, cooked corn meal
and potatoes served to them in regular
meals for three or four weeks immed
lately prior to slaughtering is as good
a regimen as can be given; and this is
quite as economical a standard feed as
they can have.
To cure roup, look out that it doesn't
get started in your flocks. tbs helped
by colds, dampness, exposure to rough
weather, and neglect. Prevent its
presence by constant care, good shell
ter, and dry, clean hen houses This
is the surest method.
Keep the snow from drifting into
young chicken houses. Straw the floor
with fallen leaves, or course cut straw.
Feed the morning meal to your fowls
aUarm. Scald the meal, boil, and
mash the potatoes or turnips, and mix
these for the early days food.
Never let poultry forage and shift for
themselves, for at least ten days before
killing, for they are apt to range in
the barn yards and pick up filthy food
which permeates all through the bird
its flesh frequently becoming so faint
ed that it is unfit to be eaten.
A fowl that costs sixteen cents per
pound dressed will cost twelve cents
when undressed; or, the dressing costs
four cents, and g pound ounce fowl
not dressed, will when dressed, weigh
7 pounds 9 ounces, so that a dressed /
fowl will. if large one, weigh pound
and a half less than when dressed.
