A ITIyaterlona Crime. A very mysterious shooting affair, which will, in all likelihood, cause the death of Mrs. Rottie Stockcs, residing on Greenwich street, in Philadelphia, occurred. Three shots were heard in tho house, and an officer, upon in vestigation, found that a Cuban named Fred Raimos had shot Mrs. Stockes three times, two of the bul lets taking effect in her face and the third ono in one of her lungs, Tho officer arrested Raimos, but only suc ceeded in doing so after the prisoner had fired a shot and been clubbed in to insensibility. Both Mrs. Stockes (id Raimos 7are taken to a hospital, where tho former is dying, and tho latter is either feigning or is actually unconscious. Not thu slightest clue as the motive for tlio crime can be learned, tho woman being unable, by reason of tho wounds in her face, to talk, and the prisoner is likewise ei l&it. Mrs. Stockes has a seven-year-old child, and lived with her husband in tho house where sho received her wounds. Her husband, who returned to the house shortly after the affair, can throw no light upon it. Fatal Uollcr Explonlou. An accident, resulting in tho killing of five persons and injuring many others, took place on tho farm of Jonas Spayd, near Redding, III., where the boiler of a steam threshing machiuo in operation exploded, and killed Irvin Duntelbsrger, William Rever, Joseph II. Machmer and Isaac Marberger, boys, and Joseph Spayd. Tho bodies of all five were hurled from thirty to fifty feet, and were terribly mutilated. Tho body of Machmer was hurled clear through tho weather boarding of a barn. Tho building was a complete wreck, and tho force of the explosion was felt many miles away. Georg . Honnershitx, Sr., was badly injurede and cannot recover. Engineer Hoover sustained severe bruises. John Riegel was injured internally, and two or three others aro seriously hurt.

One had n bullet-holo through his forehead, and both had evidently been killed by hos tilo Indians. Beside tho skeletons lay a small pilo of quarlz. Evidently thoy woro the first prospectors and pioneers of tho Blackfoot Hills, and for years had lain on tho bare, bleak hillside. Tho discoveries mado have caused a stampede to that se'etion. A Duel Iteiwcen Brothora. A terrible and fatal Bhooting affray occurred at Blackfoot, I. T. James and John Hutchinson had been at outs for somo mouths past, and Jiwiea often threatened to shoot Iub brother on sight.

Ho surrend ered at onco to tho sheriff. l'urrisldo. II. C. B'ans, who resided a fow miles sauil of Bonham, Tex., was stabbed by his 17-year-old son, Neely Bryans. Tho knife sevorcd an arlory, causing tho old man's almost instant death. Tho difficulty was occasioned by tho father asking his son, who had beon away two years, either to como homo and go to work or get his clothes and leavo lor good. Immediately af ter tho murder the boy fled, and has not yet been apprehended. Hemluary Ilurncd. Tlio Monticello ladies' Beminary at GodfrojIll., caught firo at 1 o'clock in tho morning, and by daylight was destroyed. Miss.

" it Tho latest returns elufiv that pleuro-1 pneumonia is more prevalent in Scot- laud than in England ; thus thirty- one of the outbreaks aro reported lrom English counties; and thirty-nine from Scotch counties; whilo of tho. cattle attacked 140 were in England and 170 in Scotland. Tho districts in England where the diScase has re cently been most prevalent havo been Kent, Lancaster and tho Metropolis, in which about two-thirds of the out breaks havo been reported The practice of putting fodder down in silos has led to many experiments in preserving fodder, and the last ef fort is given in the Country Gentleman as follows "I cut and ehooked when corn was in the dough and let it stand until dry enough to husk and thresh. Then cut it up in half-inch lengths and filled the silo heaping full of it, and put on neither woight nor cover. I have tried every way to handle the corn crop and like tliis the best. My thresher leaves chaff, blades and husks about two-thirds tho bulk. In feed ing this cut feed a few hogs are needed, as scavingers, as cattle do 'not digest." Where tho quantity of manuro is limited and tho soil poor, larger crops of corn can undoudtedly be grown by applying tho manuro in the hill than by spreading broadcast, provided it is thoroughly decomposed. Green ma nuro fresh from the stablo or collar, should never be applied in tho hill, but should bo spread broadcast upon the furrows and harrowed iu. It is much better for succeeding crops to spread woll decomposed manure and hasten tho growth the first of tho sea son by applying a spoonful of first class commercial fertilizer in tho hill, covering it with earth beforo dropping the corn. "Last week," says the Rural Now Yorker, "wo ato a piece of beef that had been packed in snow for more than a month. Tho flavor was delic ious. Tho beef was packed during a comparatively warm spell. Tho only snow to bo obtained was tho remains of a drift under a shady bank. A quantity of this snow was placed at tho bottom of a barrel and woll pounded down. A piece of the meat was placed upon the snow and then more enow firmly packed around it. Tho barrel stood in tho barn and the meat has kept in perfect condition. If the snow had melted tho meat would have been placed nt once in brine." A Massachusetts journal lays : Tke quality of Northern farm help is de teriorating. In nothing is this seou more clearly than in the managoment of teams. JSrery hirod man wants to work with the team, most of thom.be osusa they think this part of the work the easiest. The tejun has to sutler, poorly cared for at all times, and liable to severe beatings whon tho drivr is provoked. A high-spiritod horse is soon ruined by such treatment, and this fact is causing a great in crease iu tho number of mules now kepi by Northern tarmors. Tho mule has long been considered necessary at the South, where tho farm labor has beon much lejs intelligent thau it is here. Appearance has much to do with tho sale of manure. It is a popular fallacy that muck, boing black, must thoreforo bo very rich. It is often used by ladies in making flower beds, where it is handled with great satis faction, being light, porous and not adhesive whon dry. But unless it has been out of tho swamp a year or two, exposed to air and light, it is poor stuff for roots to feed in, not nearly so good as tho rich soil from a well-manured garden. Tho porousnebs of muck fits -it admirably for a mulch for nowly planted roots or plants, but this makes tho soil dry out much too quickly when onco the muck is mixed with it. A mixture of resin and lard is re commended for applying on tho trunks of trees to repel tho borei. Linseed oil mixed with eoot, and applied tho first wcok in Juno, has kept tho borer from attacking trees thus protected for two or threo years after its appli cation. Carbolic soap iu also a good lopellant. If tho borer has already effected a lodgment, he must bo dug out or followed up into his holo with a flexiblo wiro and killed. Applo and peach trees should bo examined tho latter part of tho summer, even if somo offensivo EiibsUuco has been used to drive away tho onomy. It may havo failed to reach every part of tho trunk liablo to attack. R. R.
