Ponds. The Lyndonvlles had strong

ceived at the hands of the home team

The ANIMAL picnic of the Sunday
Schools of the Congregational and of
Christ Church, which took place on
Saturday, was pleasant and success
full affair. The day was u perfect pic
mic day, the sky bright and the air
after midday calm and comfortably
warm. The ride to and thence in
hayracls was thoroughly enjoyed.
Hymns and snatches of popular songs
were sung with zest on the way. at
the grove the usual diversions of music
swinging, games and the like were
INDUCED in. Mrs. Blakes kindness
furnished an organ for the stand, and
her hospitality furnished some excel
lent coffee for luncheon. AT 4 O'Clock
the picnic broke up, much to the re-
greet Of all. Before leaving, the chill
dren gathered at the stand and sang
under the direction of Mr.. Strathern,
with Miss White at the organ, the
hymn0 NEARER My God to Thee and
"All hail the power of Jesus name"
after which % vote of thanks was
given to Mr.. Blake for his kindness
in oaning the grove and the picnick-
ers returned happy and contented,
nothing having occurred to mar the
pleasure Of the occasion. The Sun
day School of Christ Church closed
the day with short service at the
church.

How TO Succeed with Fowls.

Success with fowls kept exclusively
for their eggs, is gained only by con
slant care for their cleanliness and
comfort. They must have a variety of
food. good. large run, with opportu-
nifty to exercise, or be forced to take
exercise in scratching for their feed, as
upon floor covered with chaffed straw
They may be kept safely in flocks of
seventy TO one hundred, but the larger
the flock the more danger there is from
disease and thieves. The free use of
crude carbolic acid is great safe
guard. 1t may be applied in sawdust
or clay, the dry material being moist
ened by the carbolic acid thoroughly
stirred into it. The less of the car
bollc acid that is used the better, pro-
vided every particle of sawdust or of
dry clay has its quota The disinfec-
tant thus prepared, may be used in the
nests, in the busting box, upon the
floors. under the roots, etc. 1t is ia
tai alike to parasites and to tendency
TO disease in most cases. 1t cannot
be depended upon in dirty houses, for
fermenting manure, receiving fresh adj
ditions constantly, will overpower al
most any disinfectant that could be
safely used.
By spading or blowing up portion
of the runs frequently, fowls gain
healthful exercise and find few grubs
and worms, and with breeds of fowls,
which are active by nature, exercise
means eggs, and incidentally, perfect
health.-American Agriculturist for
September.

Little Tim.

Over the paing peeped little Tim,
With roguish hook In bis bright brown
eyes;
He called TO the children to come to him,
Ana help him to catch the butterflies.
Drowned and burned by the summers sun.
Under hat Of plated straw.
Hopeful, healthy, and full of fun,
Was the cheerful face saw.
| heard the hum of the honey-bee,
The cbirp Of grasshoppers, shrill and clear,
The robins singing among the trees.
The Gathering seythcs in the meadows near,
The rustling leaves of the apple-boughs.
The murmuring sound of the hillside stream,
The tlnkliRg bells on the distant cows.
While | sat in sweet day-dream.
! fashioned a future for my boy.
A. only hopeful mother can;
My soul seemed filled with sense Of joy:
saw him grow to q goodly man,
The prop and stay Of my feeble frame,
The pride and love Of my later days;
lie mounted the splendid heights OF fame
Men uttered his honest praise.
To-day, while the winter wind blew shrili
Through the moaning pines in the vale he
low.
We bore him sadly over the hill.
And laid him under the drifting snow.
Under the willows lone and bare
Under the dark cloud, cold and gray.
Under the snowhakc, white and fair,
We buried our hope, To-day.

wounded fell into our hands. Col. Gregg

sition If he had had ever so much time for Sc
lectiug it, and the enemy could not have ap-
preached us under greater disadvantages than
they did, If we could have had the ordering of
1t. They were exposed on open fats in front
Of tho engine, and it is not surp rising that tho
Washington papers reported next day III Of
them killed and wounded. It was one Of tho
first fights Of the war, and ifthe time and num-
Der Of shots fred are considered. IL was the
blooddiest battle of tho war. am quite sure
that moro than ten minutes did not elapse from
the time we first heard the train until the firing
ceased. And am equally confident, that tho
firing did not exceed five minutes. We had
already marched Is miles that day, and 7 miles
were stretched out between as and our camp.
We were not equal to Jcckson's foot cavalry
and but for the little incident at Vienna, many
of us would have given out on the road. When
we reached the camps it was all aglow with ex-
citement. Old man Loveberry Musgrove, who
was left with others in charge of the camps,
declared that he knew Col. Gregg was after
them, for he could see the smoke from the can
mons going up in the shape of q Palmetto tree.
In few days our time Of service expired
and We left for our homes. War had now be-
come a reality, and our backs were towards
the enemy, and that may have had something
to do with the mark ed absence of any patriotic
demonstrations along tho road. Our trip back
to South Carolina was as qu;c: as . funorel
march to the grave. Many, many Of that
splendid company ore numbered with the pale
army Of tho dead. At the Union depot we
found our friends in force to welcome US back AZ
they had done six months previo US to bid US
good bye. VIDr.

LITTLE BLACK Peal want five bush
els of the little black field pea, the kind
not much larger than large okra seed and
as hard as buck shot, will lie in the ground
all fall and winter without rotting or sprout-
ing, is excellent for sowing or planting with
oats, as the pea will either lie dormant or
barely start to grow when oats have been
cut, and then will grow rapidly and spread
all over the oat stubbe Can you get me
this good old>fashioned fertilizer &c. A.
Groom,
The above was sent to Messrs. Mark w.
johnson & Co. with tho request that if they
could not supply the peas that it bo turned
over to US. We have no knowledge of the
pea in question, but our attention was re-
Gently called to similar variety by gen.
tleman in Louisiana, who, under date of
September z, 1885, writes as follows: Il
have pea that grows wild and may justly
be called the poor lands friend. This wear
they have come up nearly all over the place
(600 acres) broadcast. Once planted they
are practically indestructible. After the
peas dry it only takes two or three dews to
rot the pod and the peas shatter and are
deposited till the next aeason. An aged
gentleman four miles from here says his
land is as good, if not better to day than
it was when cleared, all due to this wild
pea. 1t is black in color, and being very
hard is not suited for table purposes We
take this pea to be the same referred to in
the letter above. From specimen sent us
we know it is small black and very hard.
We will not give the gentlemau's address
because it will probably deluge him with
letters; as he will probably see this, he can
advertise the pea if he sees proper to do so,
or has any of them for SALE, Southern

fifteen or twenty old hams now in ashes
and they are SO strong that the family will
not eat them. 4 G. Fl. Moe.
ANswER..-We have nothing better to
suggest than the usual practice of thor
oughly scraping and washing. IF the pot
ash has gene deep into the meat, it may
possibly be extracted, in part at least, by
soaking the meat in water for day or two
before cooking. Change the water several
times.-- Cultipator.

supfuls of sugar and the juice and lind of
one lemon. Add six eggs, the whites aud
yolks beaten separately, and two and quar-

vertise. even if it is nothing but q card
telling his name and the business in
which he is engaged. 1t not only
pays the advertiser, but lets tho peo-
pie at distance know that the town
you reside in has prosperous class
of business men. Never pull down
