to, who will commence work in a short
time. The building will require more than

The stupid story of abandoned
farms il New England has been exploded
just as the story of the western farm
mortgages were. Mr.. William Henry
Bishop has made an exhaustive eXplura
tion among the farmers. and finds that the
sole foundation of tie fake is that New
England agricultural work has undergone
an evolution. While the West has made
wheat growing Improbable. the market
gardner, daryman, stOck-raiSer, etc. have
taken possession of the land formerly devOt-
ed to the growth of cereals. The truth is,
that the aggregate value of agricultural
products of New England is greater now
than it ever was.
A good plan for preserving tools from
ruSting is the simple preparation employed

"A terrible accident occurred on Friday
evening in the stone quarry in South Penn.
WcStmUreland county. where men are en-
gagged in taking out stone for the new glass
plant that is being erected in Jeannctte.
At that time Fred Olson. William Junkcr
aud William Wallace were getting a hole
ready preparatory to putting of blast.
and while tamping the powder in the hole
the powder in some manner exploded and
blew out in the mems faces. mutilating
them in Il horrible manner. The doctors
think they can save one of Wallace'S eyes
also one Of OlSOn'S. Junker, W lille used up
pretty badly with the powder, was the
least injured, and it is thought his eyes
will both be saved.
The other day a lot of Hungarian
miners at Adrian, near PunN>utawncy. got
hungry for fresh meat and one of them
donated COW. Preparations for the
slaughter of the animal were completed.
and a big SIav procured an axe and quietly
slipped up To the animal and attempted To
strike her in the head with the sharp edge
Of the instrument. His aim was not good
and the axe struck the animal on the
shoulder. The COW started oil at a ro pid
pace. the crowd of SlavS following her.
They finally secured the animal ard. tying
the poor brute To tree so that she could
not move her head. the big Slav procured
saw and deliberately sawed her head of.
The bellowingS of the animal during the
operation could be heard mile. .- It,diuHG
