cept. He and the negotiator drove to Nor
witch and De Wolf drew 5000 from the bank.
When returning to Salem a highwayman
stopped them in the woods near Gardeners

RACE TRACK, SARATOGA, Aug. 7.-When
Ballston and his trainer were ruled off this
track yesterday for life it ocoasioned quite a
stir in turf circles.
Secretary Wheatley says that Ballston is
owned by Corn & Co., bookmakers. The
company is said to be a man named Stein
hart. Corn arrived here this morning, and
claims to have backed Ballston in New
York.
The judges, however, do no believe this
and will institute most vigorous investiga-
ton, and every person in any way connected
with the scandal will be ruled off for life.
One OF the strongest points against Brisn,
the trainer, is the statement of Isaac Muir
ply. When Secretary Wheatley asked him
If he saw anything wrong in the horse be-
fore the race, he replied:
"No;" and, after short pause, added,
'but 1 felt something wrong before he had
gone half mile"

NEW YORK, Aug. THE Maritime Ex-
change last night received from Quebec par
ticulars OF a serious accident that befell the
Norwegian bark Alice during her passage
from Rio Janeiro to Quebec. at which port
she has just arrived. The accident occurred
at night month after the Alice had sailed
from Rio. Captain Gunderson reports: GA
heavy fog made our passage very dangerous.
Suddenly an iron sailing vessel came down
upon us. striking us to port, abreast of our
forerigging. The iron PROV of the vessel cut
us down to the copper sheashing, making
horribly dangerous and ugly hole. Our rail-
ing, fgurehead and rigging were carried
away. Immediately after the ship struck us
she drew off and silently drifted away. We
hailed her, but she did not answer. 1t was
impossible to ascertain the damage to her.
The hole in our side was dangerous, 80 we
Get to work to patch it. We did so with our

Fresh Air for Our Rooms.

The following cheap and simple

factory in solving the troublesome
prOblem-how to secure fresh air
in a room without exposing the in
mates TO draughts. Nall OF screw
a neat strip of wOOd-frOm one to
two inches wide-upOn the win
dow sill Just inside the sash and
extending across the window
Upon the top of the strip fasten a
piece of "weatber STRIP" so that
there will be formed an aIr-tight
joint between the weather strip
and the lower sash of the window,
whether the latter is closed or
raised an inch or two, the low er
cross piece of the sash sliding on
the rubber of the weather strip as
the sash rises. With this fixture
the lower sash may be raised
enough to admit air between the
lower and upper sashes without
admitting the least air at the
bottom Of the window. The air
thus entering is thrown upward
and has its "chill taken of /" before
descending upon the heads of the

Eatfaninn Sheen In Winter.

It's difficult matter 10 fatten
lambs the frs: winter. AS rule,
the only way it can be done profit
ably is to commence to feed the
lambs, the earlier the better, be-
fore they are weaned, and cen
tinue to teed them grain or cake
while running on good grass in the
summer and autumn. Prof. Rob
erts, OF Carnell University, says
that late and interior lambs can
usually be purchased in the latter
part of September from 81 to
S1.5O per head, and that if properly
fed and CARED for there is a nice
profit to be made from them. We
doubt this. Far more profit will
be made if bought at the same
price per pound, live weight, from
good, strong, almost fat lambs
than from interior lambs. In fact,
we would rather pay five cents a

Clearing Land Of Stumps.

Stumps may be taken out of land
in the quickest way by means Of
dynamite. 4 small charge will
throw out large stump, tearing it
into several pieces, which may be
cut up tor fuel or used to build
into fences. The method in use is
as follows: \ pointed iron bar is
driven into the ground under the
stump so that the cartridge will be
in the best place for useful effect in
lifting the stump out of its bed.
The cartridge is then attached to
a fuse having a Eliminating cap in
the end next the dynamite, and the
fuse is fastened by wrapping the
oiled paper of the cartridge around
1t and tying the paper with a
piece of string to hold the fuse in
place. The cartridge is pushed
gently to the bottom of the hole
and sand or water poured IN for
tamping. Very little tamping is
required, as dynamite explOdes
with m uch greater force than com.
mon blasting powder. The fuse
is then lighted in the usual man
ner. Dynamite has eight times
the force of common black powder.
This method has been in use for at
least twelve years and although a
patent has been taken out for the
process two or three years back, it
is invalid and worthless because Of
the long previous use.-Ne'o York
Times.

A Word TO Lovers.

A case of much interest tC
betrothed people has just been de-
cided upon an appeal in the
Scottish court. A lady brought
suit for breach Of promise against
a young man, who admitted OF
having been engaged to her. His
defence was that she opposed bis
smoking, and finally used the
words: "Choose between me and
your cigar He chose the cigar.
The Judge of the lover court held
that in giving her young man the
choice of the two alternities she
became responsible for the choice
made. The higher court sustained
the decision, and the ex.lover now
puffs his cigar with a feeling that
it is his dellverer. Smoking is
often considered a vice, but after
this case there will be perverse
people who will maintain that 1t
has its merits.

Breeding for Autumn FOaIs.

There are good reasons for
the system adopted by some horse
breeders, of having a part of their
mares foal in the fall. The teams
need cot he so badly broken in the
spring or the mares subjected to
too severe exertiOD. The colts can
lie Weaned on grass, and so suffer
least from the change of food ; and
they are out of the way when the
mares must go a6eld. This last
point will be appreciated by all
who have had colts injured by the
mower or a runaway from the colt
becoming entangled in the harness
of the team attached to the pillow.
AS the mare need not be hard
worked during the winter, she can
better suckle her foal, and there is
more time for handling the COLT
Finally with a warm stable the
colt feels the weather less than a
spring foal does the heat and flies
II summer.-AmericdR AgricuL-
