' iutmotous jgepntment. I AN ELOUl'ENT WITNESS. In the county court of Summit county, O., a man was recently on trial for stealing a horse from Albert G. Mallison. The principal witness for the prosecution was John Mallison, aged sixty-four years. The following verbatim report of his testimony has been sent to the Rochester Post-Express by a Western lawyer: Question (by the prosecuting attorney)? Where is your home, Mr. Mallison ? Answer?I reside, sir, and gentlemen of the jury, in the Smoky City of the Keystone State. Question?At the time when it is claimed that the horse was stolen you were visiting your brother A. G. Mallison, I be-, lieve? Answer?Gentlemen of the jury, at the I titrir. tho wrs stolen I was visiting I my only brother for the first time in twenty years. We were quietly sitting by the comfortable old fireplace, engaged in a pleasant converse of our boyhood days, when suddenly his hireling, without any sign or warning, rushed into the room in a state of breathless excitement, and with quivering lips announced that the best norse had just been taken from the barn, and that he had come up the highway just in time to see him ridden rapidly away. Question?This was in the evening as I understand it; what kind of a night was it, Mr. Mallison ? Answer?A few light and fleecy clouds flitted across the disk of the moon. Question?What was done when you heard of this? Answer?I said to the hireling: Mount the large bay and ride up the right hand with celerity, while I ride up the left hand road with alacrity. We mounted and were off like the wind. At about two miles from the starting point these two roads came together. For some reason the rascally thief did not ride as fast as we, and as we neared the point of intersection I observed the hireling coming toward me, and the thief was between us. I shouted to him to halt. He saw the situation, halted and dismounted. I bounded away from my horse. Hostilities ensued. I struck him to the earth like a dog. He rose again ; hostilities were resumed. The hireling was now with me, and, gentlemen of the jury, we scon had the villain horsde combat and conveyed to the jail of the county, and gentlemen [rising to his feet and pointing to the prisoner,] there sits the cowardly, cringing, contemptible, dastardly scoundrel, and may Goa have mercy on his soul! A HANDKERCHIEF SPECIALIST. The other morning, says Puck, as the departing Cunard steamship was casting off its lines and swinging out into the stream, an elderly looking business man hastily embractd a lady who was one of the passengers and rushed down the gangplank to the wharf. Going hurriedly up to a melancholy loafer who was watching the busy crowdf the gentleman drew him behiuda pile o, freight and said: "Want to earn a dollar?" "You bet." "You see that lady in black on the bridge there?" said the citizen. "Cert." "Well, that is my wife,going to Europe, Now, of course, she'll expect me to stand I hort. fnr the next twentv minutes, while I thesteamship is backing and filing around, so as to wave my handkerchief and watch her out of sight. See?" "I ketch on, boss." "Well, I'm too busy to fool around here; stock to buy, biz to attend to. She's a little near-sighted; so I'll just hire you to wave this handkerchiet instead. It's a big one, with a red border, and as long as she sees it she'll think it's me. Come up to 202 Wall street when they are well off and I'll pay you." "S'posin' she looks through a telescope or suthin'?" "In that case you'll have to bury your face in the handkerchief and do a great weep act." "That'll be fifty cents extra." "All right. Time is money. Look sharp now. You can kiss your hands a few times at, say, one dime per kiss," and snapping his watch the over-driven business man rushed off. We print this affecting little incident to call attention to the fact that the man thus employed has gone into the business regularly. He is now a professional fareweller, and busiuess men and others can save valuable time and yet give their departing relatives an enthusiastic send-off by applying to the above specialist any steamship day. Go early and avoid the rush. GIVEN AWAYBY A GOOSE.

He would, he said, "kick the daylights out of him." One night recently, when the old gentleman had gone to Indiana to be absent over night, the young man took advantage of his absence to visit the daughter. They were sitting in the front room, both beaming with joy. It was nearly midnight. Presently the daughter heard a noise which she recognized as her father's footsteps. There was a bed in the room, and the girl drew back the calico curtains and told the young man to hustle under. He did so. She had forgotten to tell him that there was a goose under there engaged in a motherly effort to hatch out a dozen young goslings. Scarcely had the young man gotten himselt securely stowed away when the girl's father entered. Just about this time the old goose made a hissing noise, drew back its long neck, and struck the already frightened intruder a smart blow on the left ear, nipping a piece out. That was enough. He was sure he had been bitten by a snake, and, with a bloodcurdling yell, the young man rushed from his hiding-place, screaming at the top of his voice: "Snake! Snake! I'm bit by a snake! and I don't care a dang who knows it!" And the clandestine lover madea break for the door, and ran home with furious speed, yelling at every jump. The old man was at first very much startled at the strange apparition, but he soon realized th3 situation, and both him self and daughter laughed heartily. Had Lost His Grip.?A middle-aged man with a troubled look on his face stood on the corner, and attracted the attention of a passer-by, who inquired: "Can I do anything lor you, sir?" "Stranger," said the man, "I've lost my grip." "O brace up," said the other, in a cheery voice; "you'll get hold again if you push in. It happens to us all some time or other." "I'm afraid I'll never get it again,"said the other, sadly. "Nonsense, man. Don't give up now when they've just discovered the elixir of life," advised his friend. "Takehold again like a man."

"Yes, sir." "The ordinance gives you fifty cents." "It does." "Here'syour money. I've traveled a bit, I have, and I know what's what.^ Don't try any gum games on me." "No, sir?get right in." The stranger entered the hack, the driver drove across the street and got down and opened the door, and as the stranger saw how he had fooled himself he looked as fiat as chalk, and muttered: "Yes?I see?just across the street. I've traveled, 1 have, but I guess I was on the wrong train." ?[Detroit Free Press. Airs. Briske?"Johnny, did the doctor call while I was out?" "Little Johnny (stopping his play)? "Yes'm.

Hom k-M a dp: Can* di es.?Hickory- nut candy.?Crack the nuts and chop them fine, p Then measure as many cups of the nuts as of white granulated sugar. Put the sugar j, by itself in a saucepan, and shake the pan slightly until the sugar is dissolved. Then pour in the nuts and stir around. Pour v this into buttered tins, and before it is quite cold cut into small squares. Any d other kind of nut can be used if preferred; peanuts make a delicious candy made in this way. Lemon candy.?Boil two cups of sugar, one cup of water and three quarters of a ! & cup of vinegar until when you try a little si in cold water it hardens. Stir in a table- ' spoonful of butter, and take it from the i / fire. Add one teaspoonful of extract of'ji lemon. Turn out in a buttered tin, and when nearly cold mark off into small ' j squares. Cream candy.?For this kind you will j *need confectioners' sugar, which is a fine | quality of powdered sugar. Use the white j h of an egg and an equal amount of cold | ii water. Stir in slowly the confectioners' sugar, until it is stiff enough to mold into j f, shape with the fingers. Flavor with ex- i ^ tract of vanilla, and form into balls, or ! any shape you desire, and lay them on a j. plate. The day after the candy is ready to i1! eat. P Cream candy is really the foundation for all the French candies. Use the same t; receipt for chocolate creams, only when 1< the cream-balls are hardened, dip them into melted sweet chocolate. To make a date candy, remove the pits from the dates j, and wrap each date around a p'^e of the cream. Nut candy is made by adding chopped nuts?hickory, English walnuts, j* almonds, or butternuts?to the cream C while it is soft. This is better formed into ? a bar or square. For orange drops, grate the rind of an orange and squeeze out the is juice. Add the confectioners'sugar till it is stiff enough to be made into balls. Al- si mond creams, maple sugar candy, peppermint and cocoanut creams can also bemade.

Stripping off the leaves by hand is an unnat- ^ ural process and often iDjures the tree more 1 or less, according to how early in the sea- b son the operation is performed. All nut trees and most shade trees, together with the stone fruits, do best when a set in the fall. They should be set a little f, deeoer than in the nursery, and have the earth mounted up around the trunk of the tree to steady it against the wind storms b of early winter in spring. After the frosts a of spring are over and the ground has 8 settled, this mound may be leveled down and a good mulch of forest leaves and e coarse manure put in its place. As a rule, ti it is well to Fall plant all those varieties 1 of fruit which are inclined to start very early in the Spring. * We once ordered three hundred pear j trees from a northern nursery, and when u the trees arrived the Howells and manyother? were taken from the boxes in full bloom. By clipping off all the blossoms 1< and young leaves and pouring a bucket of ji water in each hole when setting the trees r (puddling the roots), most of them sur- e vived through that season, but have been gradually dying during succeeding seasons p until now but three remain alive. g The grape vine is another plant we have ^ found to succeed much better when set in j the Fall. The buds start very early, and by planting in the Fall the earth gets well settled around the roots before Spring, so ? that there is a full supply of moisture, for S: while the buds are expanding during the " bleeding season there is a great demand 11 for moisture. Nearly all evergreens also have done better with us when transplant- e ed in the Fall.?[Practical Farmer. h ? * o Flavor of Chickens and Eggs.? t Some may think us a little squeamish in demand for sweet chickens and eggs. But yet the man or woman who does not yet know that the quality and flavor of the L food given to chickens is perceptible in " the flesh and eggs, is yet in the fog and mist of the dark ages, says a contributor of the Iowa State Register. Let any one a who doubts this, feed onion9, garlic, or V even musty food for a short time to chick- b ens, and then test the flesh or their eggs in r; comparison with chickens kept from the tilth of the dung hill and fed on clean mixed ti food of corn, oats, wheat, milk, etc., and they will soon discover the difference. It 8] is easy to give the flesh of chickens almost (j any flavor desired. By feeding on celery, they can be made equal in delicious flavor j to the celebrated canvas back duck from 11 the Chesapeake bay, where they eat the e wild celery. Sweet eggs are a delicacy, Cl and should be more thoroughly apprecia- a ted. The world is advancing, and eggs J flavored with the concentrated essence of tl the barnyard, will soon be classed with all si other unclean things. There is entirely s< j. L 1-??.?i ti luu ui uuu uureiessiiuas unu uasuurss anu w greed, and rascality practiced in the prep- ti aration of human food of domestic animals. It is not sufficiently known or re- t( garded, that filthy food given to any class r of animals, defiles their flesh and renders a it unpalatable, disagreeable, and unfit for e table use either for health or pleasures of j the taste. The world should be waked up on this subject. .. n Take Cake of the Skin.?We should t< remember that the skin is not only a cov- s ering for the body, but a most important s depurating surface as well ; that is, it v serves a very important part in the work of carrying out of the body certain impu- r rities of a very poisonous character. When ( the skin ceases to act, serious symptoms t soon make their appearance. Experiments v have been made with animals, in which the varnishing of the skin resulted in producing death in a few hours. If frequent bathing is neglected, especially in summer v time, when a large amount of poisonous ^ matter iseliminated through the skin, this e very important eliminative organ becomes I1 clogged, or rather, so covered over with impurities that its work is necessarily in- 1 terfered with. The skin also breathes. A dirty skin necessarily breathes bad air, C and unquestionably absorbs back into the p system impurities which are allowed to d accumulate upon it. n + 0 Notes fou the Baby.?Have at n least two bottles for the baby, allowing one to be aired and sunned while the n other is in use. The short rubber nipple is preferable to the long tube. c Cradle sheets should be changed as e often as they get wet, and all the pillows p, and bedding be aired every day. Pillows f( filled with the best curled hair are less heating than feathers. Pads made of white cheese cloth, with p a layer of cotton batting between the " sides, and tufted with worsted, are use- f< ful for slipping between the baby and the s holders' lap; also to put beneath the child a when it is laid on bed or lounge. fi Good Graham crackers are better for the little one to munch with its trial teeth j( than white biscuits or bread.?[Medical q Classics. j( ?- ?.

DESCRIPTION. The above illustration gives a correct idi of the general appearance of theCorbin Harro ready for use. It has steel disks that are ttirm to a knife edge. They are firmly and substai tially attached to the axle by moans of a spoci nut and key which clamps them firmly in pi sition. It is impossible to loosen this nut 1 1 any of the accidents or operations of liehl wor 1 but if desired to take the Harrow to pieces, few moments' work will readily detach the: 1 parts and enable the operator to take off or g ' out any of the disks in either gang. It has a wooden T beam?steel axles?woodc seat standards?wrought hand lover?anti-fri 1 tion balls in bearings. The Corbin Ilarro was the first to adopt and secure by letters 1 patent, case hardened anti-friction balls for tl journals, to prevent the wearing of the box and to lessen tho draft. The entire boxing ' protected by sand bands and is furnished wil ' self oiling boxes covered with a dust proof c | cap. The axle revolves in a bearing formed eleven chilled iron balls, which makes the m chine the lightest draft harrow in the worl 1 Two sizes of disks are used. The smalle size is 13 inches in diameter and the largest 1 The manufacturers make harrows with 1 I<?, 20 and 24 disks each, but experience hi - demonstrated tho fact that the 13-inch, 12-disl or tho 10-inch, 12-disk, six foot cut, is be adapted to general farm work. The price of the 13-incli, 12-disk, Harro is ?35.00 The price of the lli-inck, 12-disk, ?40.00. A Few Words of Praise for the Harrow i The following words of praise for the Corb Disk Harrow are published for the informntit of those of our readers who are not famili with this most valuable implement.

I use my Disk Harrow in sowii all of my small grain, and it does the woi better than any implement I have ever use Land that has been cultivated in cotton or cor i may be sown without any preparation whf ever, and an ordinary hand, with two mul< , can sow and covor six to eight acres in a da i All that is necessary is to sow the seed on t ground, and then run the Harrow over it o: ! time; but better results will bo obtained if ti 1 Harrow is run over the ground two or thr s times. As a time and money savor, aside fro ! the superior quality of work it does, its vali ' can hardly bo estimated attheseasons atwhii i the small grain is sown. The Harrow is ve: i useful in pulverizing rough plowed land ofai kind, especially bottoms, and it will pay ai I farmer to use one. Unlike the ordinary toot or Acme harrow,'it not only pulverizes t] i surface, but will pulverize to the depth which the plow has gone and often deeper. I can bo used to advantage on land that is ti wet to plow, without injury to the land, 'i'lio should, in my opinion, be a Disk Harrow < every well regulated farm, and in my opink i no harrow yet introduced is equal to the Uorb i in siniplieity, durability and thoroughness work".

DISK HARROW. w I ment, 1 would say that 1 consider myself intn competent to do the implement justice, but st will try to uive some idea of mv estimate of its :il value. I consider tho Corbin Disk Harrow to | in he the most valuable farming implement I have is, ever used, or ever expect to use. There is 110 d, other implement of which I have any knowliis edge that will do as many different kinds of j io work, or do the work so well. There is no im- : \s plcmont which will do equal service that I 1 to have over seen, that is so simple in construe- | ts tion or which is loss liable to get out of order. 1 It is one of the few improved farming imple- I merits which can bo usod to advantage by the I ordinary negro. Tho Corbin Harrow will more j than pay for itself in one season if given half j a chance. I now have 011 my farm a Ill-inch, ! 12-disk Corbin Harrow, the original price of i a~ which was?40, and although the implement has j !ll been in uso nearly five years, if it was impos?* siblo to get another, I would not take five times j '3' its cost for it. In conclusion, let me say that j '*? some of my assertions may sound extravagant a to some of my brother farmers who are not se familiar with the Corbin Harrow, but I will ?t say to those who may doubt any of my statements, that I will take pleasure in demonstrat*n ing the truth of each and every assertion to c" the entire satisfaction of all who will call at my w' farm near town. I hope to see, or hear, at an early day, of a Corbin Harrow being on tho ie farms of hundreds of farmers in this section. ?3 Very Respectfully, . W. M. Walker. th Mr. F. H. Dover's Ycrdict. >?1 Grover, N. C., July 10,1889. of Capt. L. M. Grist : Dear SirI have owned il" a 16-inch Corbin Disk Harrow for the past four years and have put it to every possible test and st it has given entire satisfaction. I had long felt 0. the need of a harrow that would pulverize the -? ! soil thoroughly from four to six inches deep, 'is and realized that this could not be done bv k) any drag or tooth harrow, for they only pulst verizothe surface, leaving many clods or lumps untouched, and these clods would be worked w to the surface in cultivating the crop ; and all is intelligent farmers know that cloddy land does not give tho best results. Hence tho groat y_ importance of a harrow that will pulverize the . * soil as deep as the plow goes. My harrow will I thnvnnnhlu to a dpnMl of Seven inches. I want nothing better in stalk land in putting in ^.r | wheat or oats than the Corbin Harrow, for it j not only doos better work than a plow, but is ? so much faster, cutting six feet at a time, and ie all farmers know the importance of saving 'y time at the season when those crops are usually sown. I yenturo the assertion that no farmer i who owns a Corbin Harrow would be without it fortwice its cost. Two great advantages the ?] harrow possess over most improvod farming implements is its simplicity and durability. Any sleepy-headed free negro can operate it if r0 ho has sense enough to drive a wagon. I have e- I prepared stubble land for planting, where there was no rocks or stumps, with my Harrow, by harrowing it twice, crossing the first work with the last, as well or better than I have ever done with a plow. Much more might bo said about a the Corbin Harrow but I think I have said lg enough to induce farmers to inquire into its u- | merits. All who investigate will be converted, ly Very Respectfully, Felix H. Dover. :,b Rill Arp Makes No Exceptions. d. The best labor saving implement ever inn, troduced in the South.
