by Brutal Burglars,
READING, Pa, Oct. 21-Esrly Saturday
morning two masked men entered the res
ldence Of Mrs. Amanda Deebler. a wealthy
widow, residing on the outskirts of Leb-
anon, and demanded her money. She re-
fused, when they set upon her with
knife, and brutally stabbed her in ten
places on her head, besides cutting her on
her body and arms. The woman resisted,
and terrible fight ensued. until finally,
scared by her screams, the men dashed
out of the window and escaped without
getting her cash.
Looked Like n Slaughter Pen.
The struggle with her assailants took
place in Mrs. Doebler's sleeping room, and
this had the appearance OF regular
slaughter-pen. TIE walls were covered
with blood, the carpet torn up. aud the
bed and floor red with blood. The woman
is now in critical condition, and not ex-
pected to live many hours. The assail-
ants have not yet been arrested.

breast. In his statement before death he
claimed that his wife had inflicted the
wound. Mrs. Kelliher denied this, and
later q neighbours vile swore that she
saw kelliher stab himself in the hall of
the house, aud then return to his rooms.

From the outbreak of the epidemic until
Sept. IA there have been 8. lSS cases and
203l deaths. Advices received from the
United Stases consul at St. Helena re-
port the appearance of cholera at Mes
kene and Aleppo.
In Spain and Russia.
AdviceS from Spain state that the chol-
era epidemic continues, but its presence
in Barcelona is not officially confirmed.
Reports from Abyssnia say that the cpl
demic is intense in the localities occupied
by Italian troops, and at Massowah about
sixty deaths occur daily from the disease
Reports from Russia state that the actual
presence of cholera is not reported, but
some cities in the south are suspected but
nothing definite is known.
Reported at Venice.
Reports from France state that the san
itary condition is very satisfactory and
no cages of cholera have been reported
The report of Italy states that according
to information received from private
sources many fatal cases of cholera have
occurred in Venice. The Italian govern
ment has deferred the return of troops
from the Red sea colony. Advicss from
Constantinople say that the late cholera
reports are very unfavorable and show
that the epidemic is increasing in extent
and intensity. The appearance of the
disease at Aleppo. to which place it was
imported from Meskene, is very serious.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

THERE is pork in grass as we'll as beef
and mutton.
THERE are but few horses that are
not tractable and docile if they are
treated properly.
Do NOT expect any farm animal to
''pick up its living and put much meat
| upon its bones.
| Observation-Disclosures transfers for tho
week ending July GO included eleven
bulls and fiftyfour cows.
If you have any old sheep-scruh
hogs or improbable cows-get them
ready for the butcher as soon as pos
sible.
AS SOON as an animal is matured ID
ceases to be profitable to keep. unless
| it Is work animal and possibly sheep.
If the pastures in which the colts arc
kept get short this dry weather use
bran and oats to make up the shortage.
A FREQUENT change of pasture for
sheep, say every week or ten days, is
larly attended to.
1T costs less to produce pound OF
lamb than pound of mutton. A pound
of lamb sells for more than a pound Of
mutton. See the point?
WHEN cattle have to go too far for
water they will often go without to
their discomfort, and when they get to
the water they will drink to their in
jury.
Corn is not absolutely necessary for
making pork. Wheat middlings and
water, with an occasional change to oat-
meal and oil-meal, makes good pork.
THE sire should not be too fat. just
thrifty and vigorous is the best con-
dition. He should have exercise and
be fed on bran. Fattening foods are not
good.
DON'T forget to put up some nice Sec
ond clover. The pigs would enjoy some

KEEPING FRUIT.
These Arc Hints Worth Reading aad Re-

Numbering.
Many of the finest fruits undergo very
speedy decomposition. On this account,
some of the most highly esteemed fruits
in the countries which produce them
have never become articles Of commerce,
and are only to be enjoyed during the
season of their ripening. Decomposi-
ton takes place most rapidly when
fruits are exposed to the air. when there
is any dampness about them, and when
they are subjected to considerable or
frequent changes of temperature.
Grapes are imported to this country
from the south of Europe, packed in
sawduSt. Cnripe gooseberries may be-
kept for making tartS in winter. in bot
ties or jars. filled up with perfectly dry
sand. sawdust, bran or the like. closely
corked and sealed. after gentle heat
has been applied to expel moisture as
much as possible. Place them in mod
crate and equal temperature. which is
sometimes accomplished by burying
them at some depth in the earth.
A similar. method may be employed
with some other fruits. Pears, the
finest kinds Of which are apt to r5t al

feet maturity. may be kept for months
IN glazed earthenware jars very closely
covered, and placed in a cool, airy situ-
alton, out Of the reach of frost. The
layers of fruit and individual specimens
are separated by the substance used for
filling the jars that rottenness in ono

Pears or apples shaken from the tree
