A Sumter Tragedy.

After beating his wife unmer-
cifully DR.. Van Telburg Hoff-
Ian, a prominent physician of
Sumter, committed suicide Mon
day morning by shooting himself
with shotgun. IIe was a Cath
olic, his wife a Methodist, and
they had frequent quarrels as to
religious views. Monday DR..
Hoffman, after quarreling with
his wife, seized her by the
throat and choked and beat her
head against the wall. She
managed to get away from him
and fled to neighbours house,
In a few moments a gun-shot
report was heard in the Hoff-
man home. He had shot his
head almost off.

The Brood Sow.

Many OF the breeders would Gc*
think OF Offering boar or SOW for
breeding purposes unless its mother
was three years old and its father
more than one year, says a correspond
ent OF American &nltivator. They
think also that the SOW which has on
ly one litter n year gets the fat in the
Interval between her farrowing to pro-
duce strong and thrifty pigs. They
may do to fatten when she is not more
than two years old, but after she is
that age they do not consider them
even first class for that, if she has but
one litter year. We would prefer
that a breeding SOW should have two
litters year, if we had to give away
the fall pigs as soon as she had wean,
ed them, and we would not accept as n
gift pig from a yearling SOW or one
that had not more than one litter a
year If we wanted one for breeding
purposes.

feed of hay at noon. At night the feed

gether, with all his out-buildings. we've
swept away last Saturday afternoon,
entailing loss of $4,000. He had
$1,000 insurance on his residence.
The fire started in the barn and was

the wind was blowing gale almost
and the flames spread with frightful
rapidity, sweeping everything in their
path.
In his second misfortune, as in the
first, Mr.. Peden has the eympatby of
