MISSING FOB FORTY YEARS.
Her Petrifed Body Found In q Pit
which She Was Drowned.

Which She Was Drowned.
wAUNArAH, IND, May 3L.-Mary Ann
Grier disappeared from her fathers home,
two miles south of this place, nearly 40
years ago.
To-day her body was recovered in an
abandoned bog iron ore pit, without one
yestige of change from the appearance it
had known in life.
The last shred Of clothing was long ago
destroyed by action of the water in which
she had met her death, but the same chem
icals which removed the garments preserved
the flesh.
Not only is the contour of the form per-
feet, as in life, but even the color has re-
mained unchanged The arms and shoul-
ers are white as marble, the hands brown,
and one of them still bears the stain Of the
berries with which she was working the aft
ernoon of her disappearance. The cheeks
are slightly brown, but sufused with ruddy
flush.
Were it not for the unsightly cavities
that once contained the eyes, that petrifed
frame, which has lain almost half century
in the soil, would appear the peacefully
sleeping figure Of a healthy, handsome
young woman.
Will Strunk, who made the discovery
while digging post holes for fence across
the prairie, took his pocket knife and
struck lightly on the exposed shoulder.
The sound emitted was the hard metallic
ring that comes of blow on stone Nicho.
las Greer, her 80-year-old father, identified
Mary. When he last saw her she was on
her way to visit neighbor.

WORK OF THE DRILL.
Reports for the Month Show a Slight
Increase in Production.
SMALL AVERAGE FOR THE WELLS.
The Dry Holes Decidedly Fewer Than for
the Month of April.
ACTIVITY IN THE SOUTHWEST FIELD

The work of the drill for the month just
ended shows an increase of 26 completed
wells in the Pennsylvania and Southwest
fields. Butler and Armstrong, and Venango
and Clarion are the only districts which show
a decrease. The increase in new production
has been only l65 barrels. The dry holes
have dropped Off 81, or from SO to
average production, which was lower during
May than during any other month OF the
present year. The average was only 253
barrels to the well, which in January was 81,
west district was productive of
Il times t6s numbers Stss found in ali Ga Of the other
districts combined. This in connection
fallen off 251 barrelsmalnes the Southwest an
interesting study for the operator. Al
though there was decrease OF IL COM
Pleted wells IN Butler and AT. Armssrohg sas i1
creased 396 Sarrels. The middle field with
an. increase of seven in. completed wells
shows decrease in production of So barrels
and no dry holes.
ADecrease In the Number of Wells.
The month ends with decrease of seven
in drilling wells and an increase Of p new
rigs. The net increase is only 10, and the
total work being done in the different dis
tricts is so nearly identical with the figures
Oh MAY 1, dS 10 mdke tne cOluClueuCo d 10
markable one. The greatest activity is in
Allegheny county. The Wildwood and Nc
Curdy districts have each been productive Q
of unusually good wells, which have
been an incentive for more exten-
sive operations. Although the wells
in the Moon field have not surprised the
trade with great records as producers, they
are looked upon as stayers, and can be
relied upon to put out their quota each day.
The recent strike of the Orion Oil Company,
on the Bell farm at McCurdy, continues to
be the leading topic for discussion among
the operators in that territory, and last
night 1t was reported as still producing 30
barrels an hour.
The Record of Butler and Armstrong.
The Butler and Armstrong figures COM
pared with the preceding month show no
remarkable changes. The most notable
feature is the decrease in completed wells
and increase of 1876 barrels in new produc-
ton. The dry hole list is not so great by
nine as in April. There is an increase of
nine rigs and two drilling wells. The amount
of work under way and in the prospective
and the character of wells completed this
month is evidence that the old county of
Butler will still continue to be q factor in
the monthly report.

GROWING CABBAGE.

Cabbage is SO easily raised, AYERS a
New Jersey farmer, that no vegetable
garden should be without at least enough
for the family use. As cooked veg
etable it is very generally used, and in
winter and spring a head of crisp, raw
cabbage is to many persons as good rs
celery. Cabbage makes its growth so
Late in the fall that it can often be
planted after early potatoes have been
harvested. I have also raised it between
the potato rows without any injury to
ipotatoes or cabbage so far as can dis
cover. By making the potato rows
slightly wider apart than usual I can see
no objection to setting row of cabbage
plants between them where one has not
the ground to spare elsewhere. The
potatoes will be harvested and out Of
the way by the time the cabbage is half
grown, if the late varieties are the ones
transplanted. Every farmer should raise
his own cabbage plants, and there is no
good reason why any person who has n
garden should depend on buying them.
A little seed sown on few square feet
of good soil will not only give all the
plants wanted, but they will be on hand at
the exact time when they are wanted, and
can be transplanted at once with but lit.
tie check to their gowth if done imme-
diately after rain. In the neighbor-
hood of towns cabbage can be sold in
considerable amounts, so that it may be
made profitable to give more attention to
its cultivation than it commonly receives.
Then persons who raise fowls in runs of
limited space should raise enough of this
vegetable to be given them for green
fosd when they cannot obtain supply
from grass by running at large.-Neao

WHAT IS A DRUNKARp?

upon mankind like some foul, illboding and
noxious animal, tc poster, torment and dis
gust everything that reasons OF feels, while
the curse Of God hangs over his place. and
the gates of heaven are closed against him.
Drunkenness is never to be found alone
never unaccompanied by some horrid crime,

the house OF the drunkard, consider his fam-

THE CAUSE OF FAILURE.

The father prays in the morning that his
children may grow up in the Lord, and calls
it even the principal good of their life that
they are to be Christians, living for God and
the world to come. Then he goes out into
the field, or the shop, or the house Of trade,
and delving there all day In his gains keeps
praying from morning to night, without
knowing it, that his family may be rich.
His plans and works, faithfully seconded by
au affectionate wife, pull exactly contrary to
the pull Of his prayers, and to all their COM
are worldly, and make worldly atmosphere
in the house Pride, the ambition of show
and social standing, envy Of what is above,
jealousy of what is below, follles of dress
and fashion, and the more foolish e,atfon
felt when a son is praised or daughter ad-
mfred in the manner Of personal appear
ance, or what is no better. a manifest pre-
pairing and foretasting of this folly when the
son or daughter is so young as to be the
more certainly poisoned by the infection Of
ito these unspoken, damuing prayers
How many are they. and how totally do
they fill up the days! The mornings open
with q reverent, fervent.sounding prayer Of
words, and then the days come after, piling
up petitions Of ends, aims, tempers, pas
sions and works, that ask for anything and
everything but what accords with the gen.
uine rule of religion. The prayer in the
morning is that the son, the daughter, all
the sons, all the daughters, may be Chris
tians; and then the prayers that follow are
for anything but that, or anything In fact
most contrary to that. Is It any wonder,
when we consider this common agreement
between the prayers, even the fervent
prayers Of the family, and all other con-
Germs, enjoyments, and ends Of the common
life besides, that 80 many fine shows OF
family piety are yet followed by so much of
Goddess and even reprobate character in the
children?-[Dr Horace Bushnell.

GRADING EGGS FOR MARKET.

Extras, irsts, seconds, thirds and
known marks comprise the classification
of eggs decided upon by the Boston
Chamber of Commerce. Extras comprise
the best qualities, fresh-laid clean eggs
in season, put up in the best manner.
Firsts comprise fine marks of eggs, such
as come in carload lots, or smaller lots,
and are packed in fine order, fresh in
season and reasonably clean, such stock
as gives satisfaction to most consumers.
Seconds comprise all stock that is mer-
cantable and inferior to irsts. Thirds
comprise all poor stock in bad order,
rotten, etc.; stock not considered really
merchantable. Known marks comprise
such sorts that are we'll known to the
trade under some particular designation
or mark, of such quality as those familiar
with the mark generally understand it
to be in the season in which it is offered.
Extra to pass at the mark must not lose
to exceed one dozen per 100 dozen and
firsts not more than two dozen per 100
dozen. or one and half dozen per bar
rel, if sold in barrels.
