"A
His Clothing, and Ordered to Leave.
CINCINNATI, O., March A dispatch
from Corning, o., says that fortnight
ago A. +. McDevitt, druggist of Corn
ing, caused the arrest of the Rev. Father
O'Boylan, the pastor of the Catholic
church of that place, for permitting the
running of wheel of fortune ct church
fair. The arrest of Father O'Boylan
created a sensation and divided the COM
munity into two parties, one of which
supported the druggist and the other
the priest. Sunday Father O'Boylan
during the course of his sermon violently
denounced McDevitt, saying he was a
villain and no better than murderer.
The church WAS crowded, and the con-
gregation became very much excited. In
the evening, during q binding snow
storm, party of eight armed men went
to McDevitt's store, and, finding
him alone, ordered him TO march
down the street before them. He begged
TO be allowed to get his hat and
overcoat, but was hurried out bare
headed. Driving him before them for
a mile through the snow to lonely
piece of woods the men ordered him to
undress. Each garment as it was taken
off, was torn to shreds and the pieces
thrown to the wind. When entirely
naked they commanded him to kneel in
the snow and swear that he would never
show his face in Corning again. Leav-
ing their shivering victim still kneeling
they returned to the village. McDevitt
has not been seen since, and it is feared
he has persisted. At the time the dis
patch was sent party of men were
searching the woods for him. Public
feeling is reported as now so intense
that serious disturbances feared.

THE DAIRY.

Sometimes surplus milk may be
profitably fed to COWS, though it is not
easy to teach an old COW to drink it,
except those old cows, always extra
nilkers, that never refuse any kind of
food. The milk fed to cows should not
be soured, as it will affect what they
are producing. 81. Louis Globe Demo
crdt.
In skimming the cream of from
milk there should always be milk
enough skinned with the cream to
give the butter, when churned. bright
clean look. Butter churned from clear
cream, with little or no milk in it, will
usually have an oily or shiny look.
This shows that the grain Of the butter
is injured, which affects the keeping
qualities Of the butter. = Cincinnati
Times. f,r
"A good COW should not be fat, even
when not giving milk. Her sides should
appear Hat, but rather by the deepness
OF her body than by its narrowness
Her head should be small, neck thin
and Hat and chest deep. In a very
young hefer It is impossible to decide
what her bag and teats will be, but an
animal that shows these points is worth
saving and trying as COW. One that
has round body and coarse, bull
shaped head will be worth more for
beef than for milk.-Colman's Rural
World.
Many farmers laud the practice OF
feeding variety Of foods to their stock
in winter, and yet in summer no variety
at all is supposed to be necessary; that
is, their pasture contains only one or
two kinds Of grass. Variety is neces-
sary always, summer as well as winter
and the farmer who sows variety OF
grasses and clovers can let his stock
enjoy fresh early bites, fresh late bites
and fresh bites all the intermediate
time. Thus he gets long seasons
pasturage, as well as a fresh, healthful
and productive one.-Elgin Advocdte.
The foreman of an extensive cream
cry makes the following excellent sug-
gestion to butter makers: Cream can't
swell in churning II 1t is shut away
from the outside air. There are two
great mistakes made by dairymen-one
that cream must be sour, and the other
thd It must be churned hot. Air the
cream by frequent stirring, so that the
oxygen Of the air will ripen it; churn
in revolving churns at q temperature
about fifty-four or fifty-fve degrees,
and wash out the buttermilk with brine
and set the color at the same time.
These are but three great things for
dairy people to know.-Erchdnge.
"A well-informed dairyman esti-
mates that fully ninety per cent. Of the
COWS of the country have their calves
between the first Of February and the
last of May. This leaves the supply Of
good butter quite limited during the
winter, with prices correspondingly
high. Winter dairying which is SO rap
idly becoming the habit of our larger
dairymen, will do much to remedy this.
But there is more than better markets
and higher prices to commend this sys-
tenn. One strong argument in its favor
Is the leisure that the farmer has to de-
vote to dairying during the winter.
This system equalizes his years labors,
the. summer being given TO crops, the
winter to his stock and dairy.-BostOn

Rules for Butter Making.

An experienced dairyman of Central
New York has issued a pamphlet de-
scribing his methods Of making butter.
A few brief rules from this pamphlet
are given below:
Feed literally; have pure water
always accessible, and keep mixture
Of equal parts of salt, ashes and sulphur
within reach Of the cows.
Be sure your stables are thoroughly
ventilated, remove all droppings i'm
mediately, and freely use absorbents
and deodorizers such as sawdust, dry
earth, or cut straw, never emitting
liberal use OF plaster.
When milk is kept over night TO be
carried to q factory, the temperature
should be reduced as low as sixty de-
grees.
II milk is set at home for cream, the
sooner it can be set after milking and
the higher the temperature the better,
as cream rises best and almost wholly
while the temperature Is falling.
Never reduce the temperature below
fety degrees, as lower temperature

Involuntary Mesmerism.

Yesterday rather remarkable case

might be termed a case of involuntary
mesmerism. II Is a case which would have
delighted Mesmer, and will give the stu.

Tor reflection. August Brudel, railroad,
laborer, met an old friend whom he had
uot seen for long time, named A. Whit
Held. They had been comrades and were
much attached TO one another. Scarcely
bad they exchanged greetings before
Brudel began 10 act In an extraordinary
manner. He would mimic Whitneld's
svery motion, gesture and word, all the
while staring at his friend with face dis.
iorted like that Of madman.
The two sat down TO dinner at the Ma.
tional Hotel, aud Brudel ordered the same
food that Whitfield did. and kept perfect
time to the motion Of his arms and mouth.
This action was SO curious that Whitfield
walked down TO the police station and gave
his friend over TO the police authorities.
Il was thought the man was stricken with
nervousness or mesmerlsm, aud DR..
Wheeler was called In 20 decide the mat

The fact that there is a surplus
federal revenue Of $S5, OOO, 900 Per
annum, which if the present rate of
taxation be continued, win be in
creased to 800, 200. 900, challenges
the attention of the country. Though
so immense sum is annually wrung
from the industries of the country
the protection" which is supposed
to be given in return fails to keep the
furnaces in blast or the mills in mo-
ton. 1t is simply robbery of the
mass of the people which in the end
does nobody any good.
The time has come when the sub
ject Of federal taxation must be care
fully examined. thoroughly consider
ed and deliberately settled. It is
purely economical question. It has
too long been made the sport of pol
iticians and the hobby of demagogues.
1t has been dealt with in the past as
if the tag laws must be made in the
interest OF class instead of the whole
people. The party cry of protection"
is simply an appeal 10 prejudice and
class interests. Those who give ear
to it unfit themselves for an impartial
examination of the question and the
expression of an intelligent and cam
did opinion Of the matter.
Let the people inquire into the
effect Of tariff Legislation for them
selves Let them examine every
phase Of it. Let them infoaza them
selves as to the enormity OF a system
of taxation which takes annually
from their pockets millions of dollars
more than the government requires
Let them ascertain why it is that the
Republican Secretary of the Treasury
recommends reduction of the tariff
Let them satisfy themselves whether
it is better that the tax on luxuries
or the duties on articles OF prime
necessities be reduced or repealed
IL is an easy matter to cry ''protec-
ton !" ''protection!' r. But there is
no protection. for the closing of the
furnaces and factories long before the
meeting Of Congress shows that pro-
lection does not protect. Let the
subiect be fairly and fully examined.

Prof Norman Lockyer, an eminent

OF Krakasoa. recently in eruption on
the island of Java and held in sus-
pension bya dry magnetic belt forty
miles above the earth's surface
Prof. Lockyer successfully combats
all other theories as to these red
sunsets. Wehave known this all the

advance of the great English astrono-
mer, all the bobtailed gtar-gazers in
the country would have ridiculed us.

man alluded to by Huntington as sub
servient TO the railroad interests. It

putable use to the country, that they

money, as to influence Congress and
the Courts, and dictate to them their
policy; when, in fact, as shown by
