Norfolk county, near Churchland. yes
terday, an inquest was held by Coroner
Adams on the body of Jack SmotherS
(colored), who was killed in quarrel by
George Washington (colored) on the
farm of W. G. Bidgood. The quarrel
occurred day or two previous about a
load of wood, when Washington struck
Smothers over the head with a club and
then beat him terribly with an iron
pot. The murderer then took to the
woods and escaped the officers, and is
now at large, hiding, it is thought, in
the swamps Of the neighborhood.
Smothers never recovered consciousness
from the time he was beaten until he
expired.

GREENLAND VEGETABLES.


The Garden Products of the Old Morse
mems Settlement.
In Greenland attempts have been
made to raise some of the common
plants of European gardens. At the
Danish station of Godthaab latitude
640), close to the open sea, turnjps,
radshes, lettuces and parsley are al
most the only plants that can be cult
waited with any success. The turnip,
indeed. requires favorable summer to
produce anything like tolerable speci-
mems. The cabbages are scarcely
worthy of the name but at two inland
stations up the ford, about thirty miles
north of Godthaab, the climate is strik-
ingly different. Here, DR.. Rink informs
us, turnips always come to perfection;
rcarrots prosper well and attain a fair
size, and cabbages, though unable to
develope thick stalks. yet produce toll
erably large leaves. which the prOvi-
dent Danes stow away for winter use.
Attempts have been made to cultivate
potatoes, but the tuberS never attain a
size large than marbles, and are only
grown and eaten as curiosities Under
the most favorable circumstances, green
peas only produce shells, in which the
peas are barely recognizable, This is
within the Arctic Circle. or at least on
its immediate borders. In South Green
land-the site of the old Norsemen's
settlements-hOrt is practiSed
under more favorable circumstances.
AT some of the posts, in about the same
latitude as Chr,stania, good carrots
have been produced, and in forcing
frame strawberries have grown we'll
and yielded fruit for several years, but
they afterward died owing probably to
the severity of the climate. At Julian
shaab turnips often attain weight of
more than half pound, and are fit for
table in the middle of July. Radishes
are fit to be eaten in the middle of June.
Rhubarb' grows pretty vigorously, and
can be raised from seeds. Green cab
bage attains q good size, but never
the normal taste and pungency of
the vegetable At Jakobshavn, in
go IS minutes, DR., Pfaf used to
raise few radisbes, and the locality
being sheltered, the tiny patch of earth
ON the rocks, which in that remote
place passed for garden, produced
"crops" almost as luXuriant as God
thaab in the south-N T. World.

Doris, the pretty maid
Her eyes were turned. those eyes so brown
Toward the road that led to town.
Beneath her feet were daisies white,
And many Il clover red,
And butterCupS. with drOps of dew
From heaven freshly shed:
While birds were singing at her side
Those quiet songs of eVentde.
And Prudence by the window sat
Her ha;r was SilVr white.
Her eyes had each wistful look,
That ,Ovey summer night:
And. speaking from the window sill,
She said: Hell come, / know he viii.
~ know. because a humble bee
Just in the window few;
The rooster CrOWed here in the door
Those Signs are ALWAYS true
It's haying time and there sight
OF chores to do, you know, at nightV'
While Doris watched the road beyond,
Aunt Prudence looked behind;
The summers of the long ago
Once more she sought 10 find:
And through the twill ght's deep'ning gray
She sighted them so far away.
The sunshine of those growing days,
The dew thatuSed to fall
The music of the birds that sang
We're well remem bered all:
AND loves young dream that passed away
AT shutdown OF one summers day
But words of greeting at the gate
Came o or the window sill;
Aunt Prudence drew the shutters close,
The night ar seemed so chill
Then in the Swallowed ROOM her tears
Fell like the rain of bygone years.
AL as God wills" she softly sang,
