substantial class of jurors was drawn

girl wore walking toward them from the
direction of Valencia street. The man
and girl turned into Harriett street, going
in the direction of the church, and on die

other witness passed on. Eleven dajs

Rush's friend, and he cuul J not identify
her, but as to Durrant he wa positive.
The men hesitated for some time abont
making their information known to the
authorities, but liuilly decided that it
was their duty to ilo so. They made a
visit to Captain Lees and told him their
story. They were shown the clothing of
Mi3 Lamont which was found in ihebul
fry, and both men declared tberu&rfvee
as certain that tliey were the garment
worn by tht girl whom they paw walking
with Durrant.
Then Captain I-eas showed them a
photograph of Dnrraut. Rush's friend
identified it positively, and Rnsh was
reasonably certain that it waa the ptctnre

She is the divorced wife of the princii!
stockholder of the Leake Glove Comjuny

now said to reside in New Yoik City.
Mrs. Leake's neighbors are inclined to
discredit her story, and to represent her

Fattening Stock.
With all stock intended to be soM this

chasing ami feeding This is esiweially
the case wicb hors. In many eases it is
the early murkete! hogs that retnrn the
best protit. .So long kb wheat b depended
ujhmi for fattening hogfc it is best to tjegin
feeding in good season. It Is not only
safest bnt best to begin with a muall
(oautity and gradoalty increase, nntil
they ate given all they can eat p clean,
if too heavy feeding u idven at Atct,
there is danger of the hogs veiling sur
feited, and they Hid not do as well us if
more caie is taien in Uie fee ling. While
it i tree that with a Xm1, vigorouj. bog,
rather a letter gain can be seemed if the
hogs aic kei4 confined in a close, clean,
pen, yet there is always risk of disease
heu hogs are closely confined. When
the health and risks are considered the
better plan la to give thc-ui the range of
a good pasture. Another item is to feed
aud water regularly, and to have a dry,
comfortable, jJace for them to sleep in.
It will also be a help in maintaining
health, if a troofh is kepi filled
with salt and ashes where they can help
themselves. There it mo-iey io hogs if

Resuscitation by Burial.
I observed the following in your edition
of Saturday :
"For some time past tho Metropolitan
Jjwarago Comiiiiwoii has been working
In Kast lloston, aud yetlertlay ono of the.
employees, Patrick Maloney, was work
ing on tho sower between l'orter street
ami Central njuaic, when Henry Wurd
and George F. Chase, both civK engineer
ing students, came to inspect the work.
All three went down into the manhole
anil were badly overcome by ga3. Henry
Ward was so badly allcctcd that he died
a fow Iiouib latur at the .Massachusetts
General Hospital. Ho was 21 years of
age, and lived at CO Mount Vernon
street, in thiH city. Maloney and Chase
were revived after hard work by the
physicians,'
It romewtfat surprises me that falilily
should occur in a caso of this kind, un
less tho patient was not at once attended
to. I am personally awaie of cases
where men in foundries and gaa factories,
overcome l-y common .gases from furn
aces, have Iwen overcome to Insensibility
and would havo died but for tho prompt
action of t lie wuikmcir. Without any
professional aid, they at oncu stripped
tho patient and placed him in a shallow
trench of damp mold packed closely
around, leaving only the mouth ami
nostrils exposed.
The damp earth acta on ami extracts
the gases, and in a short time, u.orc or
less, (he patient recovers.
' Tito first ease I km w was of a mail
