neer Of the o'clock train from Bos-

last night, discovered the body Of
man near the track halfa mile west
Of the Atkinson depot. His head was
crushed in terrible manner. He
was identified as Patrick Conners,
section man on the Haverhlll section.
Last night quite late an unknown
man who gave his name as Patrick
Maloney, and residence as Dover, n
H., came to the Piaiston Centre sta
ton and confessed to the station a.
gent that he had murdered COnners.
He said that he was walking on the
track. and when passing Conners the
Iatter.threw a halnful Of sand at him.
Maloney then laid in wait for him
and attacked him with piece of rail

beating his brains out, and then throw

The nurse Is always pompous and
cross. Indeed, TO see the average
nurse. one would suppose that she took
all the honor Of the baby's being here
to herself.

than she puts on when somebody
slams door, and she wants to know
if the offender aforesaid means to kill
that baby
All The auuts and cousins come and
admire the newcomer, and look at
its nose, aud It's pursed up mouth and
It's eyes, which look like mere Sits III
the purple dumpling Of its face, and
they search for ikepesses of its pa,
and its ma, and it's Aunt Maria. and
its Grandfather Brown, and ia Uncle
Simon. just as if baby every looked
like any body, or anything eise but a
baby
When the baby cries there is con-
sternation in the household; when he
smiles there is joy from the nurse to
the scul!ery-mald; when he has tho
coIic, everything gives way before il
aud all creation Is in sackcluth; when
a pin sticks in him, there is universal
distress.
Papa is told of it, and all the sd
miring aud sorrowing friends are told
Of it, and the way the baby cried,
and the way he looked aud acted, and
all tho interesting circumstances at
tendant thereon are related with dr9-
matte effect.
Oh, baby in the family Is a great
EVENT. and although there is nothing
any more common than babies, every
successive newcomer is treated as il
he were the first ef bis kind, and as
II he might probably be the last.

The Silver sprinr Of Florida.

The Silver.Spring of Florida bursts
forth in the midst of the most fertile
country in the State. II bubbles up
in basin nearly one hundred feet deep
and about an acre in extent .and sends
from 1t II deep stream of sixty to one
hundred feet wide, and extending six
to eight miles TO Ocklavaha River.
In the spring itself fifty boats may lie
at anchor.
The spring thus forms a natural
inland port, to which three steamers
now run regularly from St. Johns,
making close connection with the
ocean steamers at Palatka.
The clearness of the water is won-
derful. 1t seems even more transpa.-
rent than air. You can sec at the bot
tom, eighty feet below the boat, the
exact form Of the smallest pebble the
outline and color of the leaf that has
sunk.
Large fish swim in 1t, every scale
visible, and every movement distinct ly
seen. 1t you 80 over the spring in n
boat, you will sec the fssure in the
rocks, from which the river po'irs up
like an inverted cataract.

New Haven, Conn. July 30'-At
Winsted, Conn. balloon ascension
was made yesterday afternoon by
Prot. Brooks and Frederick Moore,
wealthy manufacturer of the town.
The balloon was the largest used III
the ptatc. Il was eighty feet high
and 1870 teut in circumic and was
calculated to have lifting capacity
of 1 800 pounds. Great preparation
were made for the occasion All the
railways running into Ninsted put
OH special trains, and the yillnge was
crowded with spectators. The nsceu
sion was made from The public square
in the centre Of the town. The morn
ing was fair, but just before the roper
which held the big balloon 10 the
ground were cut, the clouds gathered
and a heavy shower vas threatened.
Brooks and Moore entered the car
and gave the word. The cables were

900 feet. Although they were above
the clouds, they were caught III the
storm, which proved 20 be the heaviest
experienced in the state FOR years.
Becoming terrified by the lightning,
they began to descend and passed
through the cloud in safety, although
the balloon suffered from the heavy
rain and the gas had begun to escape.
When within 100 feet Of the ground

from side to side. rs they tell, the

Hon.fnl Signs.

Notwithstanding the failure Of tho
wheat crop III the state Of Tennessee,
the farmers have abundant reason for
cheerfulness in the splendid promise
of other crops. The corn and cotton
crops arc in excellent condition, and
will make bounteous yield. The
tobacco crop is the largest that has
been planted in many years, and its
growth up to>the present time is all
that can be desired. The hay crop is
ample for all the needs of the people
Of the state. Fruit is everywhere
plentiful, from The mountains in the
east to the low plains III the west.
Our Industrial establishments are
beginning to exhibit new life. There
is more demand for iron. and the
lumber trade seems 10 be awakening
to new activity. Cotton goods arc yet
dull but it is a reasonable expectation
that the fall months will brlnSorders
10 set the looms and spindles to
work.
The factories for makiug WOODEN
goods and especially those tor making
jeans, are very active The orders for
jeans are more than the mills are able
to supply An active demand has
sprung mp i'll the North for these goods
and all the factories are behind. The
goods are OF superior quality. being
made Of good standard wool and
not from hyings like much of the
shoddy sold to working men in the
North.
IN addition t. these tlattering pros
poets, the farmers are more nearly out
Of debt than they have been III many
years. There is an earnestness among
them which presages nothing but
good in the future Everything is
hopeful; everything promises an un-
usual activity in the near future. The
throbbings of the great commercial
and industrial heart is already Begin
ming to be felt. A new furnace is
now building in the western iron belt.
Others vii probably follow soon. The
railroads are preparing for increased
business. Hope is expressed on every
hand. No dullness is predicted for
the future. Everybody IS tired Of
istagnatlon, and everybody Is striving,
might and main, to bring about the
business activity 50 much desired.
One Of the surest signs Of returning
prosperity is the orders which country
merchants are preparing to give. Each
one Of these understands the tuation
in his own neIghborhood, and each
one is sure of having au increased
trade the crmug fall and winter.
1t is also hopeful sign that eysrv-
body is prophesying good times ahead
for everybody will work to bring
about a fulfllment Of the prophecy
Confidence beGets confidence. and il
is the oil which lub:icates the ma
chinerY of business. We fo>l the
coming prosperity as an instinct. Il
is breathed by the winds, murmurec
by the streams, written abroad in the
sunlight. and sp ,ken IN the inward
sense and longing Of the human
heart
