A RAIN OF STONE.
CaldwelIa Haunted House--A Strange
Phenomenon.
From the Hickory, N. C., olipper)

(From the Hickory, n. c., Clipper)
For some weeks past rumors of q
haunted house in Caldwell county, some
eight miles from this place, have teen
common Oh the streets. Our reporter
meeting Mr.. II. @. Martin, of that neigh
borhood gathers the following state
ments:
The family of NJ. l.. Holler, consist
ing Of wife and little girl about 10 years
of age, who lived in house about one
quarter Of q mile from Mr.. Martins were
frightened month or two ago by the
falling Of stones upon the floor of their
room. The stones, ranging in weight
from one to ten pounds would apparent
ly fall qs from or through tho roof of the
floor, or come bounding from or through
the wall and fall heavily upon the floor.
1t was observed that no dent was made
upon the floor by the falling stones,
though the noise with which they would
strike the floor would indicate that they
had fallen with full force from the roof.
The report Of this strange occurrence
went out and great many of the neigh
bors went in to SEQ and did witness the
falling of the stones. The family be-
coming alarmed left the house and
moved in with the family of Il. @. Mar
tin, the father of Mrs. Holier, and sup
posed they would leave the chants" or
witches behind, but, not 80, as soon as
they went to their now homo tho stones
began falling in this house. This fright
ened the mother-in-law, who stood it O
fow weeks, and the family a. ain remov.
ed, this time about three quarters of n
mile, and before they were fully scttled
in their new quarters the falling stones
also appeared. 1t was observed that the
stones fell only about and where the lit.
tie girl OF ten years of age might be. III
they carried her TO the old house, where
the family frst lived, the stones would
fall. In addition to the falling stones, q
common block tin wash basin, which
sets upon shelf inside the room, will
now frequently begin to move, as if i'm
PEELED by some invisible agency, and
will leave the shelf spinning rouUd as il
goes and falls on the floor, generally
near the little girl. On one occasion,
hard and dry bread came falling at hei
feet. Many people have gone in and
| witnessed these strange things, but car
not account for them. Mr.. Martin ouI
informant is we'll known in our town
and is said to be man of veracity, and
refers to many of the leading citizens oi
the neighborhood who have seen and wit
ness as much as has. He says he is pre-
pared to make oath that he has seen
everything above related. Have we 9

How to Make Trade.

In the fiood-tide of trade that comes
with the spring and fall seasons, business
Is easily extended by wise business
methods; but the hood-tide OF trade
lasts four or, at the most, six months of
the year, and then trade must be sought
by the progressive arts which are learned
from year to year i'll all channels of
legitimate enterprise. The old style
business house advertises freely in the
rush of the trade seasons, and then it
leaves to the more intelligent and pro-
gressivo houses the vast business that is
created or gathered in during the dull
season of oil business months.
Considering how vital legitimate ad-
vertising is to legitimate busineas, it is
marvellous how little it is understood as
business art even by many intelligent
business men. Many of them advertise
most when they should advertise least
in quantity, and advertise least or do
not advertise at all when they have most
need of it and could most profit by it..
Again, many go on the principle Of the
mountain woman who said-''A tinful of
coffee or sugar is pound and q tnful of
shot must be pound, Also" They re.
gard newspaper line in advertising as o
line of about equal value, whether it
reaches twenty thousand or five thou
sand readers, and they thus waste money
on what they regard as cheap advertising
that is the most costly because it is next
to no advertising at all.
The advertising space of newspaper
is business commodity that is for sale
and should be sold be sold on strictly
honest business principles. Its value
depends wholly upon tho quality and
quantity it offers purchasers, just as does
the value of all commercial commodities
and the pur ;haser should have eyery
opportunity to know just what he is buy
ing. IL he is buying five thousand cir
culation, or is buying ten, twenty, fifty
or one hundred thousand circulation, he
should know it and pay according to its
ascertained value; and the only way he
can know it is to examine the extont and
character of circulation as always shown
by the books and accounts OF newspa-
per, just as purchaser of dry goods or
groceries is permitted to inspect and
Judge the articles he is buying. -Phila.

TRYING TO STOP 1T.
The Dehorning OF CeLtle in the fiaSches OF
the West.
(From the Milwaukee sentinol1 :


Superintendent Whitehead, OF the
Humane Society, is seeking an efficient
method of stopping the cruel dehorninR
OF cattle, custom which is growing in
this State
"Ihe professed object of this amputa-
uon is to prevent cattle from inficting
injuries with their horns, but any ono
who cannot protect himself against q
COW or even bull without resortiug to
surgery is apt to be poor sort of
stock raiser" said Mr.. Whitehead.
"And, as for that, L have never known
more pugnacious animals than 'mooly'
bulls. The fact, | believe is that the
greedy cattleman is counting solely on
the square feet Of room he will save by
avoiding roping his stock"
The operation IL performed with an
ordinary saw. Cut through the quick
pith, the animals head bleeds profusely
Tor days, and the pain must be intense.
cit is a cruel attempt to convert a
herd of cattle into flock of sheep"
continued Mr.. Whitehead. "Thc origin
of the custom in Wisconsin and Illinois
was the prosecution of man, HOtf by
name, ! think, in Genesee, ILL.,, by tho
Humane Society, of that State, three
years ago last summer. One of tho
society's agents had his attention drawn
to this solitary case of dehorning, and
went to the spot to investigate. Hoff
showed him his cattle, enlarged upon
the advantages of the operation and
treated the inquirer with some consider
alton until he learned his business when
he summarily cje tied him from the
premises. With no revengeful feeling
whatever, am convinced, the agent laid
the case before the society, and the man
was prosecuted. Hoff came to Chicago
three times to have the case postponed,
the last time on the ground that his wife
was dangerously i'll. 1t was afterward
ascertained that his wife, on the day re-
ferred to, had driven him herself to the
station. Meantime he had been in
ducing one farmer after another to try
dehorning, and at last implicated SO
many, that al impartial jury could not
be impanelled, and the society lost the
case. Since that time the barbarous
custom has extended to Wisconsin, and
is, l believe, largely practiced. The
royal veterinary college of Scotland has
condemned the practice in the strongest
language, and we have written for furth-
er information on the subject. Our
course of action in the matter will large
ly depend on the reply to our inquiry"

lives possible in this world, when the
bond is merely one of commercial gain
and convenience. Let them settle with
the masculine conscience the ethical
question of wooing, with phrases bor-
rowed from Love, the women to whom
they would never give second thought
were they portionless; the pretenso of
disinterested devotion maintained
throughout the betrothal; the oath of
allegiance to the women they hold by
the hand when these are really addressed
to bonds and securities, to stocks and
real estate-the horrible wrong done to
the creatures who believe in them as in
Him who made them. Let us speculate.
instead, as to tho process by which the
mother who knows what marriage is -
what heaven and what hell it may be-
works herself up (or down?) to the con-
viction that her child can, in any sense
be '.well of" in wedding a man because
Of advantages that have nothing to do
with his intrinsic self. The girl may err
through partial ignorance-he her matronly
adviser never!
Yet the young maiden who says, 81
mean to marry a rich man, whether 1
love him or not" breathes upon her
purity by tho utterance, however
thoughtless it may be. If this be her
steadfast purpose, inculcated by her
elders, acted upon, when opportunity
offers, by herself, there stands between
her and the poor wretch from whose
touch che draws aside her matronly
ropes, aslf contact were contamination,
only the shadow of legal lie, the tenu-
Gus screen OF the wifely name.

a Delicious Dish.

Gen. T.. p. Alexander, president of tho
Georgia Central Railroad, tells tho
Atlanta Constitution that the most de-
licious dish for lunch can be prepared as
follows:
Take nice fresh shad and cut 1t up
as if to fry it, put into an earthen jar,
pack closely with sufficient salt and
allspice to season to taste, and then pour
over it vinegar enough to cover contents
of jar. Set the jar in o pot of water, SO
as to be submerged to within an inch of
the top, and boil until the vinegar in the
jar comes to boil. Cook slowly. The
shad absorbs the vinegar gradually, and
it dissolves all the bones in the fish. 1t
makes delightful dish for lunch, and
it is to be eaten cold. Will keep for two
weeks.

SPRING OATS.
The Crop Is Too Valuable to be Overlooked
Even in the Spring,

The Crop is Too Valuable to be Overlooked
Even in the Spring,
The Southern Cultivator thinks the
acreage sown in fall oats is mnch less
than usual. The freezing out of large
portion OF the crop of 1886 by the hard
freezes in January, 1887, hau most dis
couraging effect, which was augmented
by the unfavorably dry weather which
prevailed in some parts of tho country
during tho sowing season. The oat crop,
however, ia too valuable and in tho long
run too reliable to be given up. Spring
sowing costs little more than tho seed,
even if the crop fails from drouth; and q
good breadth-eight or ten acres at least
to each plow run-should be put in.
In our dgment-founded upon expert
ence and observation-oats sown in
February are much less liable to injury
by freezing than if sown in January.
Sowing in the cold twelve days" smacks
moro of superstition and sentiment than
sound reason. Our hardest weather i,
usually from December 25 to February
/, and it is not often that oats sown in
February are killed by freezing. The
soil for spring oats, if not already fertile,
should be well manured and deeply and
closely plowed-tho latter to guard
against drouth as much as possible. If
the land be CROSS plowed 80 as to leave
the burrows partly open, the seed may be
sown broadcast and narrowed in with
good results. Cotton seed, or tho meal
alone, or in compost with acid phosphate
and potash, makes an excellent fertilizer
for oats. The crop requires rather moro
ammonia and potash than the percentage
usually found in commercial ammoniat-
ed phosphates.
Undoubtedly the Burt oat is the safest
for spring sowing, as it will mature in
100 to 100 days when sown in February
or March, according to latitude. Sow
plenty of seed; the later the sowing the
heavier should be the seeding Allow
for yield of twenty fold is pretty safe
general rule, unless the unexpected yield
or capacity of the land is small, in which
case the seeding should be somewhat
heavier than this rule would indicate,
and vice versa.
