Cross Between Cabbage and Turnip.
Mr.. 8. ]. Clinton Of Bethel, has sent
to The ENQUIRER a peculiar vegetable
that he noticed growing as a, volunteer
in his cabbage patch. 1t has the ap-
pearance Of turnip, about the size OF
a large orange, and on long SENS
shooting out from the top supports
half dozen or more cabbage leaves
The tap root is similar to that OF the
turnip The specimen was quite q
stranger to all to whom 1t was shown;
but reference to seed catalogues has
assisted in its Identification as the
kohl rabi, which Is described as an In
termediate between the cabbage and
turnip. and which is prepared for the
table by boiling.
Condition of Mr.. p. q. Mecorkle.
The many friends Of Mr.. Paul g. Nc
Corkle, who was so desperately hurt
by his horse In Chester last Thursday
afternoon, will be glad to know that
his condition Is now hopeful. Mr.. Nc
Corkle continued unconscious until
late Saturday afternoon. when he be-
gan to take notice Of things around
him and to try to talk. He recog lied
relatives and friends, and although
able to talk only with the greatest DIFF
ficulty, what he had to say was gener-
ally characterized by the light-hearted
buoyancy so inseparable from his ma
ture. His injuries, which are fully as
serious as was described, are receiving
the most careful attention, and while
It Is too early to say that he Is ont OF
danger, his condition is at least very
hopeful. Unless blood poison sets In
he Is almost certain to recover.

ants cellar and sued for $1,000 lam
ages. The jury found for the defend

verdict was for the defendant and
plaintiff moves on the minutes OF the
court for a new trial because the ver-

opening leading off the pavement to
defendants cellar, underneath his
store. I should have found a small
verdict against the defendant. There
was no proof Of wilfulness, and the
proof of injury was meagre. I have
doubts about what ought to be done;
but upon reflection have not such a
pronounced opinion about tn. fact II
to lead me to set the verdict aside. !

for two opinions about the matter of
leaving an uncovered place there. The
jury looked at the laws too. shall
not disturb the verdict. The motion is
therefore refused" .
