R. express going west this afternoon met with a. very serious accident at the semaphore just east of the North Augusta road. It seems that after the engine had passed a. tether H‘nerp curve the truck spread, and a number of cure jwere thrown from the mile. The tender went off. the express car was pitched down the embankment on the north side, and Wm; smashed into kindling wood. The expreee messenger, whose name is E-iwerd Allen, had just turned the lock of the Safe as the accident happened, and fortunately ' escaped any injury. His cap wes taken off, and his head narrowly escaped being smashed, being p70- tected from the roof of the oer by a. big trunk, to the presence of which 6 undoubtedly owes his life The second car, containing baggage, had the trucks broken from under it; it struck the expreee our and knocked the end off it, and dashed into the field nenrly at right angles with the firet.

Bagerette bed a. number of trunks piled on hill}, but, Wes only slightly brewed about the cheat.

The poet-office our went off on the eouth ride end ran into the bank, which rims about four feet there. and turned more than half way over. The mail clerk wee not hurt; and beyond some soretobew on the side of the our in escaped pretty well. The next was a. first (:1er carriage. and it was tipped portly over to the south side; the our following it elm left the track. The Pullman only left the track, but was not injured, and the dining cei- did not leave the mile. The only passenger who complained of being hurt was no old lady named Jane Frlztl', who belong to Delta. Her injuries Were chiefly from the ehock and consequent fright. Dr. Moore, one of the company‘s surgeons, hastened to the scene of the accident and did what was required. A train wee immediately deepetched from Brockville to the scene of the accident and the passengers were brought to the Rtetion. The work of clear- ing the track was then begun, and vigor- ouely carried on under the direction of Messrs. Robb, McGovern and Minnieb. The almost miraculous encape of the pee- sengers and train bands was undoubtedly due to the Westinghouse air-brake and to the great strength of the cars. A last (Friday) night’s Vienna. despateh m: At the great trial which is new pro- ‘ ing at Nyreghhaza, in Hungary, of a. number of Jews accused of having mur- dered a Christian girl at TisZs-Ezlur to use her blood to mix with their Passover bread, a. sister of the girl alleged to have been murdered testified that she spoke to her sister on the sfxernoon the murder is said to have occurred, While on the other hand the principal Witness for the prosecution, a. Jew1sh boy named Moritz Sohurf, swore that he saw the murder committed in the synagogue before the midday meal was partakeu of. The trial is waning extraor- dinary excitement. and Christians in the vicinity are intensely hostile to the acuused men, and those who attend the trial jeer the counsel for the defence when they rise to speak.

The Waitara sunk in two minutes, and twentyfive per- sons were drowned. The Hurunui imme diately launched her boats and rescued sixteen persons, including a lady. a saloon passenger, to whom a sailor who was saved had given up his life belt. Two other saloon passengers were also saved. All the second- class and steerage passengers were lost. The captain of the Waitara was dragged agoard the Hurunui with the aid of ropes. ' be two vessels left London together. On Friday the Hurunui struck the Waitara end on just in front of the saloon on the starboard side. The survivors state that no crash was heard but the side of the W'aitara gave way like cardboard. They ss y most of the passengers might have been saved had a baique and a steamer, which were seen near by, heeded the Waitara’s signals of distress. The Waitara was an iron ship of 833 tons. built in 1863. The Iiurunui was also an iron ship. Curious L'lun'nnouinl Emil.

How I! Lost Ruhr-Carriage was Beconrul. A short lime ago Mr. Robert Fenix, of this town. wue surprised one morning to find that the family bnbyvcarriage had die- uppenred during the night. An active Heurcll in the vicinity failed to reveal the whereabouts of the mieeing article, and information was given the Dundee and Hilmiltou police to be on the lookout for it. But the perumbuletor remained non cst until a. few days ago, when it was recovered in rather a. remau‘huble way. Mre. Blank, living a few doors from Mr. Fenix, had a. dream the other night, when mouthing was etill. She dreamt she saw some youngetere feloniouer abstracting the lost baby carriage and con- veying it to a. residence on the Flats. In her midnight vision she saw the residence and the carriage snugly stowed away on the premises. Next morning before brenk- feet she related her dream to Mr. Fenix. who, though rather doubtful that anything would come of it, made an excursion to the Flats to investigate. Sure enough, he found the object of his mieeion at the house and in the position described to him.

IIREAJIING T0 SofllE PURPOSE- Auluwnlipn whit-h, ’l‘wo Hamiltonian- are Turning Io Advantage. It is, of course, superfluous to say that the better classes of Brazilians are always decently or. even elegantly dressed from boy hood, yet the children of the most wealthy are sometimes introduced to visit- ors without any clothing but setting of beads'eround the neck or a. pair of elegant slippers on their tiny feet, while in the photographic galleries one can find few pictures of any but nude children. Among the lower classes boys are frequently never dressed until they are 12 years old. Girls commonly wear clothes sooner, though the first few years of their lives pass with only in pair of ear-rings, which find their way into the ears of every female child before she is a. year old. With servant women the costume consists of a. long travelling skirt, whose waist is‘cut very low around the shoulders, from which it is constantly slip- ping. The short-sleeved waist is often the only nndergerment of White, but, as a rule, they are extremely fond of the gayest mlors and delight to make their dresses from the kind of print designed to imitate petehwork. When their children are dressed at all they weer a single, long- slecved loose garment which covers the knee and which sometimes almost touches the ground. For these shapeless little ‘ resent! black is one of the favorite colors, ; and the effect is the climax of singularity. A German, Baron Reiehenbsch, has oc- cupied. many years in studying the art of bed inching, or rather bed placing, and mumtains that improperly placed beds will shorten a. man’s life.

In WhtLtEVer hemisphere, you may always sleep with your feet to the equator, and let your body he “ true as a needle to the pole."

Let such as has hitherto been in the habit of sleeping with their heads where their feet ought to be take to heart the example of the latte Dr. Elsch- waster, of Mngdeburg. who died recently at the age of 109 years. The most un- healthy position, we are told, is when the body lies due east and west. Some observ- ers ensure us that to sleep in such a pos- ture is tantamount to committing suicide, and that diseases are often aggravated by deviations from the proper postures.â€" 1 London l'Vorld.

RICHMOND HILL THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1883'. (Compiled by a Practical Agriculturist.) The Farm Dairy. In the average farm dairy too little at. tention is given to the management of milk. The introduction of what may be termed “ the home-made ereamery system,” has proved a wonderful boon to many farmers. Such as do not invest in the patented creameries need some artificial method for keeping the milk and cream at a proper temperature.- A neighboring farmer has for several years kept milk in a cellar-tank, which is supplied from an auâ€" joming pond of pure water. Into this watertank, cane, 20 inches deep, are set so that the water comes to within two inches of the top, and they are left uncovered, to allow the animal heat to pass off. A ther- mometer, occasionally plunged into the water, enables him to regulate the temper a- ture, which should be at about 62 degrees, and as areeult, the cream rises, to a depth of from two to three inches, in the can. The tank was built, and water conducted to it, at a small expense, which has been amply repaid, as the quantity of cream greatly exceeds that produced by the old method of setting in shallow pane. By some such means as this the farm dairy may be made a profitable adjunct to general farming. Those who are fond or rhubarb are reminded that it may be canned for winter use in the same manner as fruits. If this has not already been done, the winter‘s supply ought to be put up at once, as the gathering should soon cease, and the plants allowed to grow and gain strength for .the product of next spring. In canning, the rhubarb is stewed as if for the table. Sugar may be added or not ; it is not necessary for its preservation, but many think it is more convenient to add it at once, other- wise the rhubarb has to be heated before it is used, in order to properly incorporate the sugar. The hot rhubarb is filled into the jars in the same manner as stewed fruits, and the covers put on at once. Before placing away, try if it is possible to screw down the corks still tighter. In gathering rhubarb at this season, select the newer stalks, as the outer and older ones are apt to be tough. Maple Wood “ Tins " tor Buster. Mr. W. Cluxton, ot Peterboro’, writes to the farmers, cautioniug them against using tinnets or tubs made from maple wood, for packing butter in. This wood, he declares, injures the butter that comes in contact With it and renders it niadgsiruble for shipping to Europe. Mr. Cluxtbn says that tinnets of any kind of wood should be used as little as possible, and that the best package is an ash firkin with a slip cover. We agree with him that ash, especially white ash, is preferable wood to either maple or spruce, which are objectionable for butter packing ; but dealers here and in the West prefer tinnets as a more convenient package than the clumsier firkin which prevails in the neighborhood of Peterhoro. We should prefer to say to the Western farmer : use ash tinnets with slip cover, rather than ash flrkins. Puuting Up Butter and Pack- Rural Jottings That Are Timely and May. be Read With Profit. Pcnch Crop Prognoellcmlons. The Delaware peach growers have a curious way of arrivmg at a. conclusion whether the crop will be poor or abundant. During the sprung they clip a. number of branches from average trees in different orchards, then plant the twigs in abut- house and force the blossoms. By examin- ing these experts claim they can approxi- mate very accurately the conditions and velue of the coming crop. That practice was followed this season, and the predic- tions based upon it have been literally verified. The crop is an avarage one as to quantity, but the quality is the finest known for years. ' Many farmers keep the cattle and sheep they intend to send to market on the approach of winter in scanty pastures during the entire summer, where they remain in very poor condition for want of sufficient food. They keep themselves and their teams hard at work during the sum- mer raising corn to fatten them. That corn is an excellent kind of food to feed cattle and sheep intended for slaughtering all will admit. It is likely, however. that most western feeders give too much atten- tion to corn and not enough to grass. It is easy to render cattle and sheep reasonably fat on grass and clover alone. They must, however, be abundant and of good quality. If animals are obliged to be on their feet all day and are compelled to wander about from morning till night in search of food, and are then forced to lie down hungry, they cannot be expected to become fat. Corn Will not cause animals to become fat it they are not allowed enough of it to enable them to repair the natural waste of the system. Its chief advantage as an article of food for animals being fattened consists in the fact that they can eat enough to form a large amount of flex-h and fat in a short time, and they can have an opportu- nity for rest. Provide cattle and sheep with green fodder so abundantly that they can satisfy their appetites in a short time and have an opportunity to rest in comfort and they Will become rat on it without corn. Grass is by far the most economical food for stock and summer its the best time for laying on fat. By paying more attenâ€" tion to grazing and less to corn farmers can make beef and mutton for less cost than most of them do under the present system of feeding. ' FARM AND FIRESIDE. BEST'MEANS 0F FATTENING CATTLE. A paper read before the Nova. Sootia Fruit-Growers’ Association gave some valuable suggestions on packing apples. A vast improvement is stated to have been made in the past season over previous ones. Careful asserting is insisted on. In one case, in a consignment of three hundred barrels to England, the first and second 512‘! we 0 not separated, and the result was 151 less [er barrel than othrs of the same quality which were assorted. Hardwood barrels ere found much the best, both on account of strength and the apples shrink- ing less. Wrapping the specimens in paper has done well, but is attended with too much labor for general practice. Lining the barrels Wibh white paper has been set- isfactory. The experiments with peeking lin chafi and cut-straw have signally failed. Fullening on Grass. Canning Rhubarb. ing Apples. Packing Apples. The varieties which have done best for the English markets have been Gravenstein, Ribston pippin, Pomme Grise, Baldwm, Spitzenbnrg and Russet. ' Pat-snipe tor Cows. Those farmers who have not yet adopted the ensllage system of preserving green food for winter use, and who use roots instead, should bear in mind the claims of parsnips as a cattle feed. It is one of the most nutritious of roots, and can be grown without more trouble than carrots. We have never had miloh cows increase in milk or butter productions much faster upon any extra feed than when a peek of parsnips was added daily to their rations of hay and grain. Parsnips may be sown any time in June, if the ground is fitted, as it always should be for root crops, by being deeply ploughed, well manured and finely. pulverized. They should be sown in drills about fourteen to eighteen inches apart, and the seed covered about half an inch deep. When two or three inches high thin to six inches apart and keep well hoeel. Do not harvest in the fall, but allow them to remain in the ground until spring. and when the beets, mangels, turnips. small potatoes and the like are all consumed, and the “ spring appetite " of the animal begins to crave the green grass which has not started, then dig your parsnips and feed them out. One great advantage of the parsnip is that it will winter perfectly well in the ground, and will be in its best con- dition at a season of the year when the animal most needs roots. and when other Varieties have either decayed or lost much of their value as feed, if indeed you have been able to keep them at all. Other Fnrnl Jottings. There are 2,000,000 hives of bees in the United States. Sprouts should be thinned out whenever new branches are not needed. Clover does not exhaust the soil and is the only crop of which this can be said. Harness should be oiled three or four times yearly, after first bbing cleansed with soap and water. Plums can be grown with a. greater degree of certainty than other fruits. if the trees are frequently jarred and the cur- culio desnroyed. It is said that a. tomato plant in each hill of melons and squashes will keep the bugs at a. respectful distance. Afew sunflowers should be grown near the house, as they absorb the poisonous miasma arising from offensive matter. A leading Western New York orchardist says that last yew he gave his orchard a. top dresmg of manure in August, and that the result was a. fine crop. He thinks the summer manuring produced an immediate effect on the swelling and 'npening pro- ceases. A fruit grower says it is a. good plan to trim trees high and pasture orchzn‘da with sheep. He prefers it to ploughing or mulching. It is said thafi the Russian sunflower has yielded as high as one hundred bushels of seed to the were. Its value for poultry is well known to fanciers. The seed may be planted from the middle of May until July lat, about; half a. peck per acre bemg re- quired. If the horn of a. buck or other animal is found 110 be growing in a. way not desired it may be changed by scraping with a. knife on the side to which it 18 wished to turn its growth. The scraping dries and har- dens the horn, While on the opposite side growth continues without interruption. Where land is covered with weeds it seldom or never pays to let them grow for the purpose of ploughing under as green manure. Almost all weeds are robbers of fertility, and only help the soil by being turned to decay at as early 3. stage as pos- sible. Few farmers know that clover is one of the best crops to Glenn out foul weeds from their soil. Its rapid growth enables it to smother all except the strongest rooted perennials, and even these it will greatly keep in check. But it will only do this 1f cattle and other stock are kept off at all times. “ About the Paradise Cnlhml Dakota.” good place for wheat growing purposes, and is just the place for the poor foreigner from Sweden or Norway, or any other cold country in Europe, to settle in ; but the climate is too severe for a man who has been reared anywhere south of the fortieth parallel of latitude. As a matter of course on the part of the geographers, Dakota is placed in the ‘ temperate zone,’ but when wells twenty feet deep are frozen over, and winter sets in about the let of October with a coldness that defies the registry of Fahrenheit,and continues till May, it might as well be called a cold section of country. From a letter written to the Aledo (111.) Record by Mr. Thomas S. Sharpe, who has been a resident of Hutchinson County, Dakota, for the last five years, some facts may be gathered that will enlighten those 1 who are contemplating settling in that i Territory. We quote some extracts : “ Per- 1 sons East will do well to accept with caution reports about Dakota. They appear mostly written by persons who have never raised a crop or seen one raised. North Dakota. is a wheat region, South Dakota is not, and between is debatable land. I have not seen a crop of wheat of twenty-five bushels per acre ; have asked old settlers. and they have not. Last year the Depart- ment of Agriculture made the returns for his 0 )uuty at fourteen bushels. This was rather light. but the crop was the best in five years. Forty bushels of cats and thirty- five of corn are good crops, and it takes five acres of prairie to pasture asteer through summer. Flaxis our main market crop, and is fast ruining lands devoted to it. Many who undertook sheep farming have given it up. There is a heavy immi- “ The story of Dakota,” says the Chicago Tribune, “ has been we highly colored ; the emigration business has been overworked ; the excitement is about over, and now comes the relapse. Dakota is, no doubt, a gration to this Territory, and much of itl of a land-grabbing nature. Six months’ fictitious residence, then prove up mort- gage, or sell for $300 to @500, then leave Dakota, or repeat the game, making a not [gain of perhaps $200 for the six months is the programme by thousands. And many an honest pioneer takes his claim, toils to make a home, and in a year or two finds himself almost isolated from neighbors and debarred from the blessings of society. Any one coming to Dakota Territory ought to be prepared to accept the regular hard- ships of pioneer life. Don’t build your hopes on enormous crops. Every dollar you earn here is well earned.

M Teefy “Yes,” he said. " I am going to swim the whirlpool rapids, and I will say that it is about the angrieet bit of water in the world. I came over from England two week-i ago to make the trial, and I went to the rapids last week and made a critical examination. They are rough, I tell you. and the whirlpool is a grand one, but I think I em strong enough and skilled enough to get through alive. The people at Niagara. Falls tell me that I will be simply committing suicide. You ought to hear the blood-ourdiingstories that were reteiled for my benefit. A year or two ago a. boy who was paddling around in the shore water was drawn into the rapids and had his head out OK. A girl fell into the river last summer from the Suspension Bridge, and when her deal body wee picked up at the other end of the mpide it was bereft of all clothing but a. pair of stockings. In twenty-three years they say that eighty persons hawe lost their lives in the rapids.” ms onmcr AND ms PLAN. “ But what is your object in attempting such a. terrible'feat 7" “ Ten thousand dollars." ' “_I_:Iow_ do you propose to pass through the rapids ?” ” I’ll explain my plan. The current, they say, is thirty-nine miles an hour and the river is ninety-five feet deep. It is wide just below the falls and narrows at the rapids. I am only afraid of two awful ledges of pointed rocks which jut out from the shores into the whirlpool. The water fairly shrieks and biases as it boils over them. Now, I want to avoid the sides, and yet I dare not go into the middle, for there lies the vortex, and that means death. I will go out into the middle of the river in a smallboat just about the Suspension Bridge. The only clothing I shallwear will be the silk trunks I had on when I swam the Eng- lish Channel. At the time appointed I will leap into the river and float into the rapids. Of course I will make no attempt to go forward. for the fearful speed of the water will carry me through. When the water gets Very bad I will go under the sur- face, and remain beneath until I am com- pelled to come up for breath. That will be pretty often, I wager. When I strike the whirlpool I will strike out With all my strength. and try to keep away from the suck hole in the centre. 1 Will begin With the breast strokes and then use overhand strokes. My life Will then depend upon my muscles and my breath, with a little touch of science behind them. It may take me two or three hours to get out of the whirlpool, which is about a quarter of a mile long. When «I do get through I will try to land on the Canadian side, but if the current is too sWift, as i think it is, I will kigip on down to Lewiston on the America-n si e.” HIS OBJECT TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. Captain Matthew Webb, who swam the English Channel in 1875, and now proposes to swim through the whirlpool rapids be- low nhe Niagara. Falls, explained his plan to aNew York Herald reporter 8. day or two ago. The Grant Engli-ln Swinlmer lo Stem the Niagara Whirlpool Rapids. The feat will probably be performed on the 213$ July. The various milwuy com- panies which run to Niagara Falls huve subscribed $10,000 for Capmm Webb, and it is expected that a. hundred thousand per- sons will witness the undertaking. Prev parations are being made to have special excursions from every town and city Within reafoh of the railways. Captain Webb was born in Shropshire, England, and is the son of a. physician. He took to the sea early and became the cap- tem of a. merchantman. Many years ago he jumped from the deck of the Cunard mail steamer Russia. during a. storm to save a Sailor who fell overboard. For this acthe received from the hands of the Duke of Edinburgh the first gold medal ever given by the Royal Humane Society. So daring was he asa ship captain that he could never geta crew to go to sea. with him the second time. After his thrilling swim across the Channel the Twenty-fourth Regiment, which was afterward almost annihilated in Zululand, gave hima Burmese cup taken in battle. He has a trunk full of decorations and trophies. A fllnple Tree Borer in Ontarioâ€"Camr- pillaru Impeding Trainsâ€"Potato Bugs nnd (Junk-er. Worms. Reports from some parts of New Bruns- wick say that the potato bug is more pleu- nifulthis season than ever before at the sage time of the yepr. Thole seems to be a. diabolical purpose somewhere Within or back of the process of evolution. No sooner do the fruit growexs and farmers discover a. specific or invent a. protection against; one destructive pest, than another and entirely new variety crawls in to take its place. A new and voracious canker-worm is the latest; arrival in Western New York. An insect (the maple egerian) is said to be affecting the maple trees in London. The female, 8. moth-like insect. lays her eggs in crevices in or under the bark, and in afew days the larvae hatchjrom the eggs, burrow under the bark and subsequently eat their way out, in this way injuring the trunk of the trees. When the larvae are safely lodged under the bark no remedy will reach them, but the moths may be prevented from laying their eggs on the trees, or the eggs destroyed, by applying to the trees a mixture of soap and a. strong solution of washing soda, or lye made as thick as ordinary paint. Herd or soft soap may be used for the solution. The moths are said to be abroad at this season. A man will be appointed in each ward to look out for the insects and kill them. Caterpillers in great numbershave put in their appearance in Colchester, N.S., and other neighboring counties, and have even been in such masses on the railway tracks as to impede trains. They have stripped much vegetation in the suburbs of Halifax city. Many fields of potatoes have been destroyed. The slender worm is about an inch long, completely eating the core out of them. It has been observable also in that vicinity that great quantities of leaves have fallen from the trees. which is attributable to the operation of some kind of worm.

An Economical Stove. There is real economy in a. coal oil stove in the summer season, if the proper article is obtained. But it should be a good heater; two or three five-inch wicks will usually answer for all purposes, although some stoves are furnished with as many as six. With plenty of heating capacity heavy work can he done when desirable, and the burners are easily regulated to suit any requirement. Two or three cents worth of 002.1 oil per day will run a. good- sized stove ; and one of the great beauties of the concern is that no time is lost in its management. The full heating power may be obtained in less than hell 8. minute, and the moment its work is done the furnme may be extinguished. The coal oil stove has much to commend it to the prudent housewife, but we think that manufacturers have not yet paid suflioient attention to its construction.
