A Cross-Country Mail BOX.

A novel invention, as well as a probable
solution to one of the problems Of rural free
delivery, is the idea of Thomas w. Russell,
Jesse w. and Henry r. Fuss, of Union
Bridge, who have patented method of carry
ing mail matter from the roadside TO patron,
any distance-at least to the fractional part of
mile. Their plan was presented to the
special Box Examining Committee of the
Postoffice Department by Jesse w. Fuss, and
received marked attention.
II consists of wire for carrying the box,
on pests or poles, and cable or cord, for
operating the mail receptacle, the latter on the
windlass principle. The idea is that the car
rier shall deposit mail in box at the road
sde-the box recommended being torpedo
shaped-and at the time of deposit, by the
carrier giving the box a slight forward move
ment, an alarm is sounded at the house which
denotes the passing of the carrier, and the
presence of mail in the box for the patron.
By simple windlass arrangement, the box
is then conveyed to the house whether over
level, ascending or descending ground. The
same mechanism which conveys the box to the
house, by a reversal of its use, also conveys it
back to the roadside. There is also Signal
in connection with the box, aud other features.
which seems to adapt it very well to the use
proposed

Rev. j. NJ Stonesifer, the newly elect pas
tor of this Jerusalem charge, is greatly liked
by all who hear him. He shows himself
friendly to all, and is welcome visitor
wherever he goes, whether to Reformed or
Lutheran churches, and we can easily see what
a change has already been made in the new
century, and we hope it may continue, and
that we may have large congregation the
coming season and that prospects will be bright
for fourishing Sunday school in the near
future All that is needed is to give encour-
agement TO the pastor by good attendance, for
we are sure he will do his part. Mr.. Stone
sifer has a large catechetical class and they all
pay close attention to him, which shows at
once that they think very much of him, and
we extend our gratitude TO him.

When and How to Apply Manure.

Jos Lister in Ohio Farmer.
Is the subject worn and threadbare
We think not. Much has been written
on it, and the majority of farmers Cat least
in Ohio) have settled down to the easiest
way, that of drawing out and spreading in
winter. But are we sure that this is the
best way in order to get the best results
from its use !? OF course we are aware
that we cannot increase the essential ele-
ments of plant food it contains, but can
greatly increase its availability by properly
storing and allowing it to ferment. But
what of its action on the soil when plowed
under as applied, in liberating plant food,
improving its texture, etc., by fermenta-
ton therein? This beneficial action, |
think, is almost lost by applying in winter
when it cannot be plowed under. Walk
over field in April, where the manure
has been evenly scattered during winter,
and how much will be found in sight to
cause fermentation when plowed under ?
Besides this, we think it has an injurious
effect on the soil, making it soggy when
plowed in the spring, as any one may OBJ
serve who has clay farm. An example
of what is gained by applying at once, we
observed several years ago. In the month
of November we applied all the manure on
hand and plowed it under at once on part
of field of sod for corn. The whole of
the piece was plowed about the same time.
The part of it for which we did not have
manure to pillow under was top-dressed with
the same amount and the same quality at
intervals through the winter. The result
was puzzle to me for long time. The
yield of corn where manure was plowed
under was almost double that where it was
put on the top after blowing
The difference could be plainly seen at
forty rods distance, the stalks being from
twelve to eighteen inches taller, thicker,
and nearly all bearing large ears. The
following year the whole field was planted
to corn, and the difference was just as re-
makable. To what cause shall we attrib
ute this great difference in yield, if not to
the action of the manure in the soil ?
Taking these things into account we think
it best for those who can spare it to draw
out only as long as it can be turned under
at once, and apply the other in spring as
soon as it can be done in this way. But
if our best place to keep it is wet, muddy
barnyard, or under the caves Of barn
destitute of spouting, then draw and spread
on the land as it is made.

West Virginia, met with remarkable acci-

bladed knife, and in severing tough branch
the knife slipped and struck him in the right
eve, cutting the ball fairly in two. Excited
with the pain, he quickly placed his hand over
the blinded eye, and in SO doing iabbed the
point of the knife into the other eye, cutting
the ball of it so that the sight was completely
destroyed The lid of the second eye was
closed when he struck it with the knife and
the upper lid was slit clear across.

Deaths of Congressman.

A Washington letter says The death OF
Representative Brosius at Lancaster, Pa, last
Saturday calls attention to the remarkable
chronological record of the Fifty sixth Con
gress.
Between the election of the Fifty sixth Con-
gress and its expiration of March last, 5
Senators and 10 members of the House died.
As Mr.. Brosius was a member of the last
House, and was reelected, he may be counted
in the list, making IA of the latter. 1t is also
noticeable that IN addition to the number OF
deaths in the last House, three members are
now confiued in saniiariums. The question
naturally arises as to the cause OF the mortall-
ty and the mental failure ofso many members
of the lower house. Are they peculiarly sus-
ceptible to disease, or is it that their systems
have been weakened by close application to
their professional and Congressional duties
None of them. with the exception OF Repre-
sentative Harmer, of Pennsylvania, was what
might be termed an aged man, although sew
eral had turned sixty. Most of them had
hardy constitutions, apparently. and In ma
lofty of cases death was sudden. Lung trou-
BILE was responsible for a large proportion OF
the deaths, superinduced, it is held, in many
cases by the confinement of the Capitol, with
its foul air and drafts.

1frark Walcott HUT In the New England Magazine.
The willows whispered to the ,naplewood
In secrecy hint of health and hue;
And in night the glens and all their crew.
Reused by rumor, smiled and understood
The swa,np-folk nodded each 10 each; the brooks
Prattled necessarily their BIZ Of news;
The bracken roots beneath the frozen dews
Stirred with knowledge never found in books.
Unknown to ali the legions of the cold,
The silent chiefs of clans In knoll and dell
Sped the brave tidings through wood and fell
And freed the tiny people of the void
There was an unseen going to and fro,
An uneonsidered rising far and near,
Hid by the friendly leaves Of yesteryear.
Deep down beneath .he sleeping hosts Of snow.
