GOLD NINE IN AMHERST Gold of a
rich quality has been discovered on the
farm of William Cashvlle, colored, near
Orinoco, in Amherst county The Ne,c
Era says
William seems to be a lucky me-
gro, as it will be remembered that a
few years ago train on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad in Lynchburg
ran into his little yoke of bull caves
and converted the whole concern into
mince meat, and at the same time Will
liam, in attempting to save his noun
tain turnout, got three of his fingers
cut off, for which unfortunate accident
he recovered in suit the snng little
sum OF $1,000. After pay ing his attorn
ey, he Invested the rest in Il little
mountain farm, and now on that farm
gold has been discovered. We were
shown sample of the crude ore few
days agos and to our eyes it seemed to
be rich in the precious metal Messrs.
S. G. Kirkpatck u Co. have secured an
option on this tract of land. and will
develop the same at once. MIR. Kirk.
patrick seems to think he has struck a
bonanza, which we hope is true.

QUICK MURDER ON A TRAIN.
Nothing since the Jack the Ripper
murders has so aroused London and all
England as q tragedy in suburban
traia on the Southwestern Railway, on
Thursday evening last. The train from
Hounslt W reached London terminus at
$50. After the passengers left, car
cleaner, inspecting the carriages, found
he mutilated body OF young woman,
partially COZ caaled beneath the seat in
seconG-class compartment. The
corpse, which was still warm, w IS drag
sed out with difficulty, for the upper
part of the body had been forced under
The seat with great violence.
1t Was found that the skull had been
crushed in by couple of heavy blows,
and there was evicence of severe
struggle. There is no trace of the mnr-
derer
The most astonishing feature OF the
crime was the fact that the trains long
est run between stations was only five
minutes, and NOBODY had seen or heard
anything to excite suspicion. The body
was identified by the girls fance, who
was waiting at the station to meet her
She was Elizabeth Kemp, manager OF
small hotel at Walwortb, and had
been spending the afternoon with rela-
lives at Hounslow, suburban district
six or seven miles from the centre of
the city.
1t is impossible thus far to assign
even motive for the crime. Nothing
has been found connected with the muir
der except the weapon, which was a
chemists heavy pestle. This was dis
covered near the line at Putney, about
three miles distant. 1t was covered
with blood and clipging to it were one
or two bairs from the girls head.
The victims clothing was badly torn
and smeared with blood, but it is hard
ly possible that the murderer attempted
assault, for with the time at his dis
posa it must have been necessary to
Kill the woman on leaving one station
in order 10 crowd the body under the
seat in time to leave the train at the
next 1t is not known whether robbery
was committed, for although the wo-
mans purse was empty and no valua-
bles We're in her pockets, diamond
b~oach remained fastened at her throat.
One theory is that an escaped female
lunatic from Putney killed the girl.

The Vanished River. Track.

Explorations made last autumn
brought to light many interesting facts
about what is known to geoloists asI
the "Nipissing- Mattawa River" This
is believed to have been the ancienti
outlet for the Great Lakes Huron
Michigan and approximations their
waters began to flow through Lake.
Erie. The old river bed was traced. inl
the Canadian province of Ontario.I
from Lake Nipissing. near the north
ern part of Georgian bay, to the VAL
ley of the Ottawa river. At one place
the site of an ancient cataract was dis
covered, and reason was found for be-
lieving that the size of the vanished
river was very similar to that of the
St. Claire and Detroit rivers. through
which the Great Lakes now have their
outlet.

As for insects, that is a difficulty
that all rose-growers are obliged TO
contend with, but SO, also, with nearly
all other plants. The aphis can be de-
stroyed with a solution OF whale-oil
soap in water-one pound TO eight gall
Ions OF water; and this should be APP
piled with a garden syringe, so as to
throw il on with force. BY so doing
the liquid will reach all parts of the
foliage, drenching the insects and driv-
ing many of them to the ground, where
they will perish. BY following up the
use of the soapy water, the aphides
van be kept down.
The "siugs or .laggots that bore into
the buds" are more difficult to manage.
II will be found that they have webs on
the leaves drawing the leaf together
or folding it, and conceal themselves
inside. The plants should be carefully
looked over and every folded leaf
queezed between thumb and finger. A
little watchfulness, some patience and
considerable perseverance will enable
one TO keep this insect in check in the
manner now mentioned. With kero-
sene emulsion and whale-oil soap, and
tobacco water, and when necessary the
two last-named mixed together. one
ought to be able to conquer the insect
enemies of the rose.--yicks Magazine
