lone of the most peculiar inquiries ever
made by coroner was the examination on
Tuesday by Coroner Powers in the case of
Emma Kitzmiller, 33 years of age, who ex-
pired on Saturday last, in Philadelphia. The
deceased was the wife of Lewis B. Kitzmiller,
an artistic Several weeks ago Mrs. Kitzmiller
complained of illness, but having, like her
husband, become a convert to the faith
cure, y and placing firm reliance on the eff.
cacy of prayer, she declined to have medical
treatment; They were members of the
ssHeavenly Recruits, y an organization similar
to the Salvation Army, and many of their rel
atives were also Worshippers in the same
school, Most Of the witnesses were believers
in the faith cure, and testified that Mrs. Kitz-
miller refused to take medicine, aVerring that
Jesus was her only physician. 1t was shown
that the husband, after reading the 14th verse
of the 9TH chapter of st. John, laid his hands
on his dying wife and anointed her. Next
morning he awoke and found her dead by his
side. The cause of death was found, from
the examination made, to have been inham-
nation of the bowels, and verdict was rem
dered accordingly. The doctor averred that
a dose of castor oil administered at the prop
er time would have saved the woman.
The case of an abundant growth of gray
whiskers suddenly turning red is reported
from Rainsboro, Ohio. The man was return
ing home from neighbor's house, where he
had been assisting in the annual hog killing,
when it was noticed that his whiskers were a
very bright red, and vigorous application of
a liberal supply of soap and water was re-
sorted 10, ii being supposed that he had in
some way gotten blood on them. All efforts
to remove the red have so far proven in vain,.
the only change noticeable being slight fad
ing of the color.
After an unsuccessful attempt to take the
life of his wife on Monday afternoon, Francis
Deliiz, of Wausau, Wisconsin, went to the
house of his brother, who was confined to his
bed by illness, and deliberately chopped the
helpless man into pieces, nearly severing his
head from his body. The murderer is evil

Successful Farming Operations.

From the ToirSon, Nd, Union, Dec. 20.
Mr.. Arthur Chenoweth, the manager of the
fine estates of Patrick H. Walker, Esq, of
the Sd district of this county, and who is
known as one Of our most successful farmers,
has kindly sent us an account of his farming
operations. He says: 81 extend you cor
dial invitation to pay visit to Mr.. p. H.
Walkers farm, not that we have anything
particularly beautiful to exhibit, but would
like to show you farm that is exclusively run
for dollars and cents. This year has been a
tough one on farmers, with wheat selling at a
little upwards of so cts. per bushel. At the
home place / have only threshed a little over
500 bushels, but at the lower place ] have
threshed the wheat from q acres and sold
1884 bushels at prices ranging from SO to %
cts. This was sold as seed wheat, and the
profit per acre was about S37, even at these
low figures. This demonstrates that good
land will pay, even if but small percentage.
We keep our land in good condition by feed
ing cattle during the winter. We have now
1877 steers stabbed. They consume about I
barrels of corn per day, mixed with some
mill and about 400 bushels of cut fod-
der. The cattle are kept well bedded with
wheat straw. Of other stock we have 10
mules, horses, 2 ponies and 4 COWS, besides
Is horses used in operating the Baltimore and
Pikesville railway. Mr.. Walker owns this
road and Mr.. Chenoweth manages it.-EDs.
All this stock is fed from the farm, and all
the manure goes back on the land. OF course
we don't raise corn enough for all the stock
enumerated above. Last year we bought 7Sl
barrels, but this year can do with less, as we
raised more, our crop running up to ,222
barrels. In one field of 66 acres we had S27
barrels of good corn, and | had it husked at
20 cents per barrel. A man from the vicinity
of Towsontown, whose name is Richard Dunn,
husked u barrels and basket in little over
nine hours. measured the corn myself and
would swear to it if necessary.
.!'This year we have only sold 40 tons of
hay, the price having been so low that we
have waited for rise. We have about 300
800 tons after feeding the farm stock and 204
steers, You will understand that we feed all
our fodder, besides buying some from neigh
bors. We bed all the straw that we raise and
feed from 500 to l 900 barrels of corn every
year, so that you can imagine when spring
comes we must have very large lot OF ma
nure to 90 back upon the land. | make an
effort to get this out as quickly as possible, so
that there shall be no loss from the washing
of heavy rains Already this winter | have
hauled out over 100 four-horse loads and
hauled to the barn 81 loads of corn fodder,
and have upwards of 40 loads yet to haul in,
in four horse loads at that
"Come over; / would like to talk with you
andwil take pleasure in showing you through
the stables and about the premises generally
can exhibit 81 cattle, al in one straight line
of stalls, and to see them you might think
that you had accidentally stumbled upon
little cattle show"

On Tuesday morning last, son OF Mr..
Thomas Devilbiss, who resides near Union
town, was taking several of the younger chill
dren to school in a sleigh. On the way to
town the sleigh was upset, the occupants
thrown out, and the horse ran away with the
sleigh at his heels. Having reached town, he
continued running at a rapid rate until he
struck the horse and sleigh Of Mr.. Will Lol-
lickoffer, standing in front of the postotiice:
Mr. Zollickoffer was standing near by and saved
his horse from being hurt or getting away,
but his sleigh was badly broken, one OF the
shafts having penetrated the breast and reach
ing the lungs of Mr.. Devibiss' horse, from
the effect of which he died in few hours af
terward.
very interesting and pleasant entertain
ment was given by the pupils of Sunnybank
school, under the management OF Misses A
and c. Merring, on Tuesday evening last.
Special invitations were given the patrons OF
the school and others in the vicinity. The
room was tastefully arranged and comfortably
filled by an attentive audience. The exer-
cises consisted of instrumental and vocal
music, ESSAYS, select reading, Rotations, dla-
logues, &c. The manner in which the pupils
performed their part reflects much credit upon
those under whose instruction they are en-
trusted.
Elder S. Hilleary, of the German Baptist
Church, and resident of the State of Kansas,
now here on a ministerial tour, has been hold
ing series of meetings during the past two
weeks at Union Bridge, New Windsor and
other places in the surrounding vicinity.
On Christmas day the roads were in fine
condition for sleighing, and the young folks
had the benefit of it.

WHO LIES. SIN0IsER OR SOME

One day this week Mr.. Sineiser, In
conversation with friend of ours, said
our support Of John HALEY was . noto-

che offered his paper to us but We did

We are supporting John HALEY for

and butter brigade that nominated Mr..
Singiser know this, but continue TO

MIR. Singisor's second lie is still wore.
Fremont Wood is the only man We
talked with concerning supporting any

The only time We met Clay Brsnstst-
