ON Jackson street at North Adams one day
last week. Two women called at the house
and asked for Mr.. Crosier, and when told
that he was at work they said that
they would do their business with Mrs.
Crosier and entered the house. After talk
ing about church matters they asked for
drink of water, and while one of them
was being served Mrs. Croser was pounced
upon, her assailants attempting to strange
her. The last she heard her visitors say
were the words: "She will never trouble
us again" Mr.. CrOsier on returning from
work found his wife asleep, as he thought
on the lounge. He soon found note

Watering garden plants, as commonly
practiced, is an absolute injury to vegeta-
ton, for the reason that it is not done plen-
tifully enough. When the earth is dry
and hot the application of little water
only increases the heat and has tenden-
cy to make the soil more compressed and
drier than before. The most of our soils
are more or less calcareous, and the action
of the suns heat has the same effect as
heat upon limestone. The carbonic acid
is expelled, and when brought in contact
with moisture heat is generated, and I'M
less sufficient water is applied to overcome
the heat vegetation suffers. A sprinkling
pot should never be used in time of
drought, unless the soil around the roots
of the plants is at the same time thorough
ly soaked, and the watering should always
take place after sunset when the dew has
begun to fall.
This is in accordance with natural laws.
Rain and sunshine seldom appear togeth-
er, and, further when nature waters vege-
tation the atmosphere is filled with mois-
ture. Pool water and soapsuds are good
for the garden, and cistern water may be
used, but should be exposed to the sun
and air through the day before applying.
Strong liquid from the barnyard is death
to garden plants and should only be used
after diluting until very weak. My plan
of watering to avoid making hard sur
face crust around the plants, says writer,
Is to dig three or four holes on the differ
ent sides of the hill few inches away, and
into these pour not less than one pailful
of water and after all has soaked in re-
place the dry earth, and then with water
ing pot sprinkle the dry earth. --Farmers'

A Strange Will Was that of David Clough
1T Leaves Mrs. Clough Nothing an
Sends the Little Girl to Bluehiu,

Last Saturday when the will of the
late David Clough was read, it was
found that Charles Clough, his brother,
was appointed guardian of the little girl,
Mr.. Glough's daugher by former wife.
Also that the property was left to pro-
vide for her education. in Mrs. Clough's
own words, the will didn't leave her d
dollar but the most cruel part of it is
that the little girl, who is ten years old,
to whom Mrs. Clough has been a mother
for eight years, whom she tenderly
loves as her own daughter, and who loves
her in eturn quite as much, was taken
to Bluehill, Saturday, never to return,
leaving Mrs. Clough entirely alone.
1t is like double death to her" she
says. Little Moliie did not want to go.
She protested and screamed against it
SO loudly as to be heard by the neigh
bors. She declared that she would never
leave her mother, and that she would
run away 1t was only possible to get
her to go without using force by assur-
ing her that her mother was also COM
ing
Mrs. Clough is heartbroken about it
the neigbors are also very sorry, for they
all liked the little girl who is unusually
bright and winsome.

A Special Car Brought the Remains of
Alfred I'll. Crane of Lynn-He Was
Born in Portland-The Great Railroad
Extended Special Honors to Him.
There was funeral in Evergreen Gene
terry yesterday, the circumstances of which
will interest Portland people. A special car
came on the Boston and Maine with the re-
mains of Alfred H. Crane of Lynn, accom-
panied by his widow, daughter, immediate
relatives, Past Sachems P j. Brown and
Charles A. Webb of the Poquanum Tribe of
Red Men, No. l05, of Lynn, and Boston and
Maine Conductors W. A. Cromwell, D. Webb
Sanborn, II. W Davis and George H. Kendall,
representing the Railroad Conductors Asso-
citation, and the Boston and Maine railroad.
The funeral services were conducted by
Past Sachems P. j. Brown and Charles A.
Webb.
Alfred H. Crane was the station agent at
the central station at Lynn, the most promi-
nent station on the road, and where the
most money is taken. He had been agent
there for twelve years. He died in Madison,
n. H., Friday afternoon after an illness of
two years. duration from consumption. Two
years ago the disease secured a hold on him,
after an attack of grip, and though = he
spent seven months in Cal fornia, his health
was not benefited and gradually fail ID.
juno the management of the Boston and
Maine, i'll recognition of his faithful SER
vices, provided a special car and trans
ported Mr.. Crane to Madison, where he
hoped the country air would benefit him,
but his strength was gone, and death came
at O'Clock, Friday.
He was born in Portland, Me-, forty-two
years ago, and went to work for the Boston
and Maine in 1869, as brakeman on a Wen
ham ice train, and was soon transferred to
regular freight and later was made con-
ductor of freight running between Boston
and Portland. A little later he was promoted
to the position of conductor of a passenger
train on the Saugus branch and from that
was given similar position on the Portland
train, running Nos. II and Ga, the Portland
expresses. In 1882 he was made station
agent in Lynn, a position which he held
until his death, serving in a manner to
merit the confidence of the management of
the road.
Perhaps the best proof of the value of his
services and character is the unusual con-
sideration extended to him by the railroad.
During the two years of his illness his
salary was paid all the time. Besides the
special Car to Madison, the funeral party
were provided with a special car to Port
land and the attending conductors were
allowed leave of absence and their places
filled with Other men.
Seldom indeed does great corporation
pay such tribute to the faithfulness and
value and virtue of an employe.
Mr.. Crane was a member of the Boston
and Maine Railroad Relief Association, the
Railroad Conductors Association, the Red
Men, and the Royal Arcanum.
