OUR FARMERS.
GET OUT THE MANURE.

EEEe cannot help reminding our read
t. that there will be heavy losses in
#he manure that has not yet been
out if allowed to stand until
* spring with the probability that
|t71ere will be no moro time to haul it
ID next spring than there is now. An
AHchange says it is a mistake to sup
~ose that there is much waste of ma
re after being spread on the land.
We can imagine no circumstances In
rrBich the waste will be very great. In
I'd, the only circumstance under
rhich there can be any waste at all is
heavy rain falls directly after
t7ze ground is frozen. Occasionally
the ere is some loss, but it is very rare
I'd much less than the farmer mag
<nes, Therefore, there should not a
Hay be wasted after the corn is in the
ID in getting the yards completely
c1eaned up and the manure scattered.
16 is a waste of time to pile manure
I'd then scatter it afterwards. Some
Earmers suppose there is loss by the
ru anure drying up. This is an entire
Mistake. All that it loses is the moist
mre and this is replaced by the first
ain. When manure is hauled out of
he pile where it has been heating,
here is loss for the moment, but not
Nearly so much as that which goes on
if it is left undisturbed. The loss that
hen occurs is of ammonia, which is
he result of fermentation, and this
gain can occur only when the ma
nnre is piled. The saving in the value
III the manure hauled out this fall will
instify the farmer, if necessary, in hir-
fng extra teams and getting the work
lone.
AS to where to put it, it matters lit
tle Our own preference is to put 1t
on the pasture or meadow for the sea-
on that it Stimulates wonderfully the
Erowth of the grass, thus furnishing a
BETTER crop and at the same time fill
big the soil with an increased amount
Df roots, thus so to speak, eating the
I axe and keeping it too. 1t may be
but as a light mulch on winter wheat
d liter the ground is frozen, or on the
d orn field; in fact, anywhere. Manure
Bhould be kept, however, as near as
possible on the surface, and for this
reason we would rather not put it on
the corn field and pillow it under. The
main thing is to get it out-no small
OBJ on a farm where there are a hun
Hred head of cattle.-Nea0 England

utor has performed the duties of his office
This estate amounts to over $4,000, and
it falls upon the court to fix the amount
of commissions to be allowed. 1 have
taken into consideration the nature of the
estate, the amount of work performed by
the executor in its management, the re-
suits achieved by him, and | have deter
mined that in view of allowances hereto
fore made, four per cent is a proper al
lowance to be made in this case"
The last item considered was the eX-
ception to the claim for allowance of com
mission on the price of the Indian Hill
farm. The contestants claimed that the
executor bought the farm and did not pay
the price into the estate. The evidence
showed that the executor purchased the
farm with his own money, the check Civ
en- being exhibited. He clearly had a
right to commissions on the transaction.
There was no objection to the sale at the
time it took place and it is practically
conceded that the farm brought large
price.
With reference to claims for allowance
on securities and bad debts, the court said
they would be considered on final settle
ment, the executor has not yet asked
them.
The consideration of the question of al
lowance of counsel fees and other matters
in connection with the contest will be
settled next Saturday

Col Nathan Haines was one of the guests
at the reception to Hon. Charles Emory
Smith, at the Union League Philadelphia
on Thursday.
The dead body of Romanza Copeland
was found on West Broad street, below
Askew's lane early Thursday morning,
and was removed to his home. A coroner
was notified. The man died from natural
causes.
The body of George B. Lawrence, who
was killed at Jersey City by being crushed
while coupling cars, was brought to the
residence of his mother-in law in this city
ON Wednesday morning, from which place
it was inferred
John Wonderline, so years of age, OF
this city, committed suicide, and his dead
body was found in corn stalk heap Sun
day. The old gentleman, on Friday last,
went to Viewers drug store, and, pur-
chasing an ounce of laudanum, wandered
to the corn field, where he took the fatal
dose and crawled into the stalks to die.
Some time ago his children prevailed upon
the old couple to break up their home and
live with one of the sons. This did not
appear to please the old gentleman, and
he brooded over the matter until it nc
doubt unbalanced his mind

The residents of Beverly were awaken
ed on Thursday morning by a loud ex
plosion which was discovered to come
from the Pennsylvania railroad station.
Robbers had entered the building and
being unable to get into the safe by drill
ing, proceeded to blow it open with dy-
Mantle.
The charge used was evidently too
heavy, for it not only blew the safe open,
but it tore the interior of the station to
pieces and lifted the roof several inches.
The loose money in the safe was torn to
bits.
The work was evidently that of green
horns. Probably it was the same gang
that broke into Riverside station few
weeks since and attempted to blow the
safe open. Then they only succeeded in
blowing the lock off This time they
must have determined to use heavier
charge of explosives.
1t is said that two men and boy were
in the plot Landlord Smith, who lives
in the hotel near the station, saw them in
an open lot, and called to them to get out.
They replied by firing revolver at him.
Mr.. Smith shot anthem, but they were too
far away for his bullets to reach them.

The subject of the following sketch,
which is taken from the New York Com
naerciGl Advertiser, was at one time pastor
of the Presbyterian Church here, and was
graduate of Princeton Seminary in 1875
This is his record:
''In 1890 he was ordered to the Pensa-
cola, the flagship of the South Atlantic
station, and among other places cruised to
the Hawaiian Islands There Chaplain R.
Randall Hoes organized the Hawaiian His
torical Society, for which he gathered
large collection of books. At the request of
the Queen to James G. Blaine, then Sec
rotary of State. Mr. Hoes was detached
from the Pensacola when she returned
home and remained in Honolulu to ar
range the historical archives of the gov
eminent Chaplain Hoes is corresponding
member of many of the State historical
societies and of the Huguenot Society of
America. He is also a member of the
American Historical Association, the Sons
of the Revolution and other historical and
genealogical societies. He is a grand
nephew of President Martin Van Buren,,
and his wife, who was Miss Gouverneur,
is great grand daughter of President
James Monroe.
On the day of the battle at Santiago
Chaplain Hoes employed his time in going
from groug to group of the sailors en-
couraging them and giving the latest news
of the victory to those who occupied posi-
tions where they could not see for them
selves how the day was going. Later
when Admiral Cervera and his men were
received from the Gloucester, the chap
lain was given the duty of meeting the
prisoners and assigning them to quarters
suitable to their rank. He escorted the
officers to the ships wardrobe, there to be
fitted out with clothing. About 300 were
received by Chaplain Hoes and sent to the
sick bay or to other quarters. The chap
lain of one of the Spanish ships was per-
mitted to read service over the dead.
Chaplain Hoes is one of the most popu-
lar of the SKY pilots. When at San
Juan Admiral Sampson came aboard the
Iowa with the news of Dewey's victory,
it was the chaplain who took pains to ac-
quaint Jack Tar with the good news
And again when at midnight two days be-
fore the departure of the squadron for
home, the news was brought to the Iowa
it was Chaplain Hoes, guided in the dark
ness by two sailors, who made the rounds
from hammock to hammock and wills
pered, Boys, we're going home" No
wonder that when the chaplain appears
with his messages of joy, strong arms lift
him up to the nearest capstan and the
tars cheer him until they are hoarse. On
the Sunday after the battle Chaplain
Hoes preached on the victory to an audi
ence of about 300 officers and men, The
sermon is to be published in pamphlet
form by request of the crew"
