nm Before Him.

the shadow OF the Gallows Looms
mp Before Him.
Sullivan, the negro youth arreased for
the murder OF little Ella Watson, now
crouches in his cell, at Salem, N. j.,
overwhelmed by remorse and fear. The
sound OF his own voice startles him. The
popular feeling against him is so very
bitter tina. II he were caught in the street
he would be unceremoniously hanged.
The risoner is kept in q cell by himself,
and no one Is permitted to speak to him.
The sheriff aud the prosecutor are
confident that they have already enough
evidence to convict him They are
following up further olews, however, which
may lead to the discovery of more
positive evidence.
The frat idea that the murder was
done with . club WAS erroneous. The be-
lief now Is that the iron-olapper OF q
oowbell was the weapon, which Sullivan
was known to possess for three days pre-
vious to murder, and which cannot now
be found. Sullivan carried his weapon
around with him part OF Sunday, but no
one can be found who saw it on Monday.
When Ella Watson failed to return to ser
home on Monday night, and the little
band Of searohers found her dead body
in the underbrush, they did not stop TO
examine the wound. The finding of the
club near the corpse ten hours later was
taken without investigation as proof
that It had been used by the murderer to
intliot the fatal blow.
BETRAYED INTO CONFESSION.
On August 25th Prosecutor Shape
| decided to enlist Pinkerton's detectives In
the work Of solving the Watson murder.
Captain Linden was consulted and agreed
| to undertake the case. The next day his
detectives were on the spot.
| Having settled upon the murderer, the
next thing was TO secure from him con,
fessiop, II the thing were possible, with.
out compromising the authorities In any
way or making II appear forced. Accord.
ingly, with the consent OF Prosecutor
Shape, persons were permitted to talk
with Sullivan to induce him TO send for
lawyer to undertake his defence. The
prisoner ia only boy, and densely ignor-
aat, but he was not slow in seeing the
advantage TO be derived in having q
trained advocate. He hesitated little
at first, but after thinking over the mat
ter, decided to call for legal assistance.
The supposed lawyer came and Sullivan
told the whole story. The tale he told his
visitor could not be found ont. In SUBJ
stance, however, II is said to be that the
negro struck Ella Watson three times,
rendering her unconscious. Then ht
assaulted her, and, after taking. hel
money, concluded that 1t was best to re
move the only witness OF his crime. Ht
cody slaughtered his victim and dragged
her body into a thioket. Sullivan re
lated these horrible details, but he hst
no idea that the sharp looking mai
before him was Pinkerton detective
This was on Sunday last, FIVE days ate
the detectives were called in.
Captain Linden, TO have the confession
confirmed, Imprisoned q oolored man,
supposed criminal, in Sullivan's cell, t
whom also Sullivan detailed how h
committed the crime.

AGRICULTURAL MATTERS.
Crop az ran wheat

The Nsw Ysrk 7imss says: Joseph
A, mhtroug Of London township, Ontario,
has been experimenting for eight years
with view Of producing paying crop
Of fall wheat from spring seed, and he has
been eminently successful In his effort.
Ia the fall Of 1876 he sowed 10 bushels Of
iins sprIuR wheat on FIVE acres oil land,
having In view the object specified. For
four consecutive years he continued the
process, and rsAped but very indifferent
reward. At the end OF the nth year he
realised SO bushels to the acre at the
close Of tho sixth year, A per acre. At
the termination OF the seventh year the
season WAS poor one for the wheat crop
all over, and he only secured 25 bushels
TO the acre, but at the end Of this, the
eighth year, he finds his efforts crowned
with ultimate success, and from the i've
acres Of ground he has thrashed 2Sb
bushels, or an average OF 81 bushels TO
the acre. He has namad the variety
successfully experimental upon by him

Speaking Of the value Of the COW pea,to
which reference has frequently been made
in these columns the American Agricuiturist
says: Experiments made dozen years ago
with some 20 varieties Of the southern
COW pea, showed, incidentally, that even
at the north, II they did notaripen their
seeds, they would give an enormous
weight Of heritage upon q :small area.
This pea ia highly valued for animals at
the south, both fresh and as hay, and
seems to be worth trying in northern
localities as a sOiling plant.
