LIVERPOOL, Oct lot is believed
that no serious damage resulted to the

Captain Cameron reports that while
approaching the coast in thick weather
at d O'Clock on the morning of Oct. 9,
and while the vessel had stopped to take
sounding, she touched the ground very
slightly off Three Castles head. If she

Spreading Manure on the Snow.

An early and heavy snowfall, while
| tending to diminish natural losses OF
| plant food, is apt to favor artificial losses.
1t is apt to defer The farmer from haul
ing out his manure supply. Too many
farmers hold to the mistaken notion that
spreading manure upon the snow is a
wasteiul practice, that much OF its value
is lost by teaching and by running off of
the surface in the spring. They point to
datkened SHOWS, 10 dlscolored water and
to greentr meadows at the base of the
hillsides as proof of these lossts. 1t is
probably true that some loss occurs in
this way, but it is less than is usually
supposed. Those who are frightened by
this, however, should study the barn
losses, should know that, as ordinarily
kept, manure deteriorates more in the
barn cellar or in the manure heap than it
does in the field that 1t is better for
manure to leach on the soil it is meant to
fertize than in proximity to the barn
and the family well; that it will ierment
less outdoors than it will indoors; that,
in short, experiment and experience alike |
show that the housing of manure in the
winter Tor spring hauling isstldom bet err
and generally worse than spreading it |
upon the snow as fast as it is made. |
Some will be lost if spread; more, how
ever, will be lost if kept at the barn; and
the springs work will be just so much
the further behind.
Experiment station bulletins preach
this doctrine, institute speakers PROFOUND
it, and farmers are yearly practicing it
more extensively. 1t is the modern no.
ton, and the right one. The winter ma
nurng of a steep hillside may not be adj
visable; but moderate slopes or level
pieces of not too leachy land may be sale
ly fortified any day in the year except
Sundays.

LESSON THOUGHTS.
1t was night when Jesus came natu-
raj night hung over the fields where the
shepherds tendrd their focks; the Jews
were under a deep darkness of political
night; but the whole world was cropping
in the blackness of spiritual darkness,
when the light of the world arose and
dispelled the night of sin.
Christmas is a time of rejoicing; but
with all our happiness together in the
exchange of gifts and the enjoyment oil
peace on earth, let us not forget that the

SELECTIONS.
The angels sang in the silent night,
While the shepherds watched, and the
beams were bright;
And though years like a river have flown
along,
Yet we are singing the angels song:
Peace upon earth. and to men good will,
And glory TO Cod we are singing still.
Let us do as the Christ did. deny our
selves that those who need may have a
share in the good which has been given
to US. Thus by giving we shall first know
the Joy of having, and we shall truly join
the chorus that sounded over Bethlehem
on the first Christmas morning. Our
deeds Of help will have more music in
them than cathedral chimes in the
tower; or cathedral carols in the choir,
and from humble homes and happy hearts
will sound the antiphon Of the angels
song.
Aristotle, in one of his works. fancies
the feelings of one who, having lived in
darkness all his life, should for the first
time behold the rising sun. He might
have some idea Of the world from the
light of candles, or of the stars, but when
the sun rose, what new glories would
burst on his vision! The dangers, too,
would be shown in clearer light, as well
as the safe roads. So Christ was the day
spring from on high.

additional legislation presented at some
subsequent date to retire the $34s, oeo,-

advocates know that it would not de-
to attempt 10 carry through all OF their
plants at once. That would be a shock
to the American people. There would
be also an effort in the ear future ID

This will afford the national banks
an opportunity TO regulate the volume
OF all money save only gold and silver
DIN Thus an aggregation of private
banking corporations will exercise the
sovereign function OF issuing money
in the government alone"
He maintained that the result of the
authorization Of national banks to is
u so great an amount Of currency as
they would be able to issue by the pro
visions OF the pending bill would be u
place in the hands of the banks the
credit Of the entire people and the
power, in times of financial pressure
and financial stringency absolutely To
bankrupt thousands Of people by call
ing in loans in the regular conduc Of
their banking business.
In conclusion he advocated the issue
OF a paper currency by the government
alone. This currency should be entire
ly Independent of gold, silver or any
thing else that possessed inherent val
lie. Such money, he argued, regulated
in amount in accordance with the pop
ulation of the country would be the
best and steadiest money that had
ever been seen in the world.

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
An Entire Family M~urdered-No Clue
to the MurdererS.

Jacksonville, Fla, February 13.-One
of the most horrible crimes ever perpe-
trated in this state was discovered at
2 o'clock this afternoon, about seven
miles west of this city, when the bodies
of Mrs Rosana Roberts, a widow, aged
rs years, her son, G. T. Roberts, a
bachelor aged 90 wears. and Miss Jen-
ME Roberts, a daughter, unmarried,
aged 81 years, were found murdered
at their home.
The body of the old lady was found
in her bed, her head split open with
an axe. The body of the son was found
half out of the bed as if he had at
tempted to rise; and a shot gun groken
half in two by the side of the bed
showed that he had attempted to de-
fend himself. The body of the daugh-
ter was found under the house where
she had run from her assailants in the
house. Evidences showed hat she
a been followed and struck two
heavy blows with the axe which killed
her.
The three composed the entire fami-
ly, which has been wiped out of exist
ence, and were we'll to do and highly
respected citizens.
The nearest house was one mile and
a quarter from their home. The bodies
were discovered this afternoon by a
neighbor, Who stopped to get a drink
of water, and seeing no life about,
made an investigation with the result
of discovering the horrible crime.
Trunks and drawers were r~ansacked,
but what was taken has not been dis
covered, as money and other ~valuables
were found where the robbers and muir
derers had worked. There is no trace
to the perpetrators of the crime but
posses are ransacking the woods in the
vicinity. The crime must a V been
committed late Monday night.
