Farm Notes.

One of the most beautiful ornamental
plants is the castor-oil bean plant.
A little pruning given the shade trees will
improve them in appearance when they are
larger.
Crab grass is obnoxious to some farmers,
but it is often valuable acquisition on poor
sandy soils.
The rat must be kept out of the corn crib.
1t is quite expensive to feed horde of rats
every season.
Get your flower-pots ready so as to put
the winter plants in the window garden be-
fore the frost nips them.
Cover your asparagus beds with manure
late in the season, and use the manure lib
orally for that purpose.
Grapes have beea better aud more plenti-
full this season, probably due to the use of
proper remedies against the rot.
The most experienced farmers and direc-
tors of the agricultural colleges are unani-
nous in the decision that shallow cultiva-
ton of corn during a dry spell Is the best
safeguard against drought. Deep cultiva-
ton breaks the roots and confers no benefit.
but shallow cultivation keeps the top soil
loose and provides a mulch which retains
the moisture of the soil.
1t may surprise some farmers to be in d.
formed that sheep can be made to reach a
live weight Of over 400 pounds, yet such is
the fact. AS high as 425 pounds have been
reached by an Oxford ram, and 300 pounds
is not considered unusual as an average for
some choice flooks. Yet our sheep that
reach the market seldom weigh over 125
pounds.
Your birds need shade as we'll as sun. Set
out few plum trees in the yard, and the
hens will destroy the grubs and enrich the
soil, so that with a little trouble and ex-
pense you can raise some of the most de-
licIous fruit. With certain roultrymen this
plan worked well and paid handsomely.
Try this plan this spring and see if you are
not satisfied.

Fall Planting.

they are generally. 1t is generally agreed
among good flrmers that in time of
drought or on land subject to it, potatoes
planted four, five, or six inches deep thrive
better and suffer less from it than those
planted shallow. The best crop of potatoes
grown within our knowledge last spring
was planted 10 the bottom Of ditch as deep
as it could be made by running three fur
rows with one-horse pillow. They were
covered about two inches at first, then more
by degrees, but were never at any stage of

with criminal assault on her. The
girl is about Is years old. Her mother
keeps house for Mr.. inc McLarane and
the girl also liyes at Mr.. McLarane's
whose farm is on the west side of
Octoraro creek, south of New Bridge.

post office. and Pierce was raking hay
in Albert Reynolds fed, where she
passed. He left his rake and met her
in the road, seized her and placing his
hand over her mouth carried her into
the woods, where the outrage was COM
mitted. The magistrate issued war
rant for his arrest and placed it in the
hands of constable Brickley who went
in search of the culprit. The Pennsyl-
vania line is only half mile distant
from where Pierce was at work and he
escaped over the line. On Tuesday

He was taken to West Chester Jail to
await a requisition from this state

Pickering in Jail,

The notorious Frank Pickering
was arrested last week in Lancaster
and is now in West Chester Jail. A
lengthy account of his arrest and
exploits is published in the Morning
Nea0s of that city. His stable and
house near Kinks Mills we're burned
last week by the REGULATORS" The
NeaUs describes the stable as,
A STRENGTHENING STABLE.
The stable which was burned at
Kinks Mills was owned by chickering's
mother, and young Pickering lived
with the Adams's IN the house. The
stable was strange construction and
was built after the favorite pattern
of western horse thieves. The
building was completely covered by
straw and had all the appearance of
being a stack of wheat. The only
opening was door large enough to
admit a horse. 1t is said that horses
which have gone into the stable
sorrel in color have been known TO
come out white, the outlaws using
great precaution to cover their tracks.
The following chicken story told by
the same paper may he taken with
some grain of allowance.
GREAT ON CHICKENS.
Pickering is said to be an adept at
chicken stealing and some time ago
took lot of chickens to a store at Ris-
ing Sun, Maryland, and sold them for
$25. He was to have returned the next
day for the money, but the same day
women who had all her chickens
stolen the night before called and
identified the chickens as being the
ones stolen. Pickering never called
for the money. He is known to have
robbed many other hen roosts. Picker.
ing sold last week in Reading sorrel
horse, which it is supposed had been
stolen.
Pickering served term in Maryland
penitentiary for stealing meal from
Davy Brown near Porter's Bridge.

Archer Sentenced for Five Years

On Monday Stephenson Archer
was taken into court to be placed on
trial for embezzeling the States
funds while Treasurer. He waived
trial, plead guilty, and was sen fenced
to the penitentiary for 5 years.
ARCHER's CONFESSION OF HIS GUILT.
Mr.. Bernard Carter, senior counsel
for the doomed man, arose and took
from his pocket manuscript. 1t
was Mr.. Archer's plea of guilty,
which he himself had written, with
some few changes by counsel, and
bore his signature in a tremulous
hand, but much more steady than
when it was appended to the several
papers which he signed about the
time of his defalcation. This is the
plea:
''Hon. William 4. Stewart,
Judge OF the Criminal Court of
Baltimore City:
81 hereby plead guilty to the in
dictment which has just been read.
In doing so, l respectfully ask leave
to say that when the Indictment was
found | was advised by my counsel
that they had examined the statute
upon which the indictment was
based, and that they were clearly of
the opinion that the statute was
never intended to embrace within its
provisions the treasurer of the state,
and that there fore my offense, grev-
Gus as it is, was not punishable
under that statute; but now that the
highest court in the state has decided
that if am guilty of the offense
charged, l am punishable under the
statute, desire here, in the presence
of this court, fully to acknowledge
that Lam guilty of the offense charg.
ed against me in the indictment, and
also to confess that l have been
guilty of a great sin against AL
mighty God; that l have proved
false to the great trust committed to
me by my native state; that | have
deeply and cruelty wronged, not
only those friends who, because of
their great and undoubting conf
dence in my integrity, became the
sureties on my official bonds, but
Others aso who haye suffered pecun.
larry loss because of that same con-
fidence.
"For this, my conduct, / can offer
90 excuse or palliation. Now that /
haye. so to speak, come to myself |
realize its enormity. and am deeply
sorry for, and, 1 sincerely trust, truly
penitent of, all l have done The
sorrow and misery which have been
caused by my coduct are shared by
many, but no blame for any part OF
it attaches to any one but myself;
IL is all mine, and mine alone. No
part of the states money or securities
was ever used by me in gambling,
stock speculation, or for political
purposes; nor have at this time one
dollar of it left, l therefore, submit
myself to the judgment and mercy of
the court.
tSigned) STEVENSON ARCHER"
Archer's kindly nature permitted
a lot of dead beats to hang about
him who doubtless virtually ronoed
him by piecemeal. And no doubt
these leeches absorbed a large por-
ton of the money. Although he
says the money did not 90 for polit.
ical purposes, it is morally certain
that he had to contribute literally to
the "boodle fund.-" and what went of
his private means into this sink had
to be replaced by the States money.
