ARREST OF GARDNER THE New KENT
MURDERER.-It will be remembered that
Alexander Gardner, one of the negroes
charged with the murder Of Mrs. Julia
Stewart and half-breed named John
Baker, in New Kent county, escaped from
the Jail of that county one Sunday morning
while his breakfast was being carried to
him, and that he also escaped from How
ards Grove Hospital only a few days
ago. The description Of him published
in this paper was go accurate that it
would not allow him to pass without
being detected. Yesterday morning he
went under an assumed name to the saw
mill of Mr. william Christian, a few miles
below the city, in Henrico county, inqui-
ring for work; but instead of receiving
employment he was arrested by Mr.. Chris
tian and brought to this city, where he was
fully identified by Detective O'Dwyer as
Gardner the New Kent murderer. He was
taken to the First Ward station-house and
locked up to stay till he can be sent to New
Kent, which will probably be Tomorrow
He told O'Dwyer that he was sitting at the

FREE F1GHT.-Second street near the
cemetery was the scene OF regular free
fight yesterday. Some half dozen negroes
who had commenced celebrating Christmas,
and had been drinking freely Of lightning
whiskey, became enraged at some remarks
made by one Of their number, and from
words they came to blows. They fought
some FIVE or ten minutes, and made the
blood flow freely. They probably would
have fought longer, but some one Of the
bystanders said the police were coming,
which caused them to cease fighting and

There is no variety Of farm stock
that will pay better in proportion to
the amount of capital invested than
sheep. If you buy fifty ewes and a
buck in the latter part of summer
and give them proper care, at the
end of one year your flock will be
more than doubled both in number
and value, besides fifty one fleeces
Of wool averging four pounds each,
at forty cents per pound, would be
eighty one dollars and sixty cents.
The profit on the increase will de
pend on the quality of stock you be-
gin with. If you buy common sheep
at 81 head, your profit by increase
will be at least 5000. If you buy
Southdowns at So each, your profit
by increase will be at.least ss400 with
an increased weight of wool and at
a higher price per pound.


This estimate is made on .hc sup
position that the fifty ewes will pro-
duce lambs, but they will be more
likely to produce sixty-five or sew
enty, which will greatly enlarge the
above estimates. One noted feature
in the above estimates is, that you
will clear as much money on flock
of Southdones as on common sheer
the keep costing the same. sj.i+


At proper season for coupling
the buck should not be permitted to
run with the whole flock. About
ten of the ewes and himself should
be placed in a aseperate enclosure fol
a week or ten days, at the end o1
which the ewes should be removed
and ten others placed with him
When all thus have been enclosed
with him, he may be permitted tc
run with the flock.


Whatever kind of stock farme
may keep, with view of making .
profit by it, he should give it hi

ception to this rule. They shoule
have as wide a range of pasture a.

they should not be transferred from

% IfAmericans are anything,
they are practical. If they see a
thing they want to know what
it will do and how much bring.
This principle pervades all their
ideas and actions through life.
1t is even pushed into matrimony.
A man wants to know what and
how much "the woman" as wife
can do; and how much bring

She is likely to be just as practi-
cal, and will "do" just about as
she chooses, letting the Mary or

1t may not be commonly known

They are always wet, especially
where they have been allowed to

water polishing has been perform
ed. We have seen a heap of this
material burning with an intense

which is not unfrequently thrown
into the iron savings, adds great
