HENRY FKTZER.

Good medical authority asserts that, on the brain of steady drinkers of spirituous liquors (doctored by wholesalers), the vile' liquid will collect and remain in pools. At a post mortem in London, not long since, of a drinker who died suddenly, not only small lakes of the detestible fluid were found, but thousands of snakes—not larger than a small cambric needle—were discovered swimming ad libiteum. Such little devils do not swim at Cobweb hall.

How to Raise a Big Crop of Oats.

We have a thirty-acre field that we intend to BOW to oats this spring. It has been in grass and clover three years. It was plowed with a three-horse plow last spring and planted to corn and potatoes without manure of any kind. It was well cultivated, and the land is clean, and as you walk over it you can (or could last fall when we were huBking corn) feel the land give way and spring back at every step, showing that the sod keeps it loose and porous underneath. In the ordinary course this land, the first moment it is dry enough in the spring, will be plowed five inches deep with a gang-plow and three horses and harrowed and drilled in with oats just as fast as it is ploughed. If this is not done, a heavy rain on the ploughed land might delay sowing for several days. In fact, we have known it delayed two weeks. Sow two and onehalf bushels of oats by measure per acre, being careful to blow and sift out all the small and light Kernels. As our oats weigh forty pounds per bushel, this would be 100 pounds per acre, or a little over three legal bushels. We never sow less than this, and frequently BOW more. The English and Scotch farmers sow four to five bushels per acre, and before drills were used six bushels per acre were sown broadcast.

STRAY INFORMATION.

The square hole boring machine com pany that moved its business from Ohio to thiB city a few years ago, has had probably as much litigation as any one cause that has come into court for years. The company moved the manufacturing establishment of a square hole boring machine to this city after having succeeded in getting several citizens to take stock. The institution had a good business and brilliant prospects. When it had obtained a firm foothold some of those who had taken stock to secure the plant for this city were appraised of a new invention which, it was said, was to be attached to the machine that was brought here and they were also informed that they had no claim on the new invention—that anew manufacturing apparatus could be used by the original company to which they could attach the new invention and the stockholders who resided here could not claim anything from the last improvement. This impressed the looal subscribers that they had been deceived— that they had been induced to apply their money under false pretenses. Hence some of them commenced suit to recover the amount of the stock subscribed. The first plaintiff was Mrs. Emma McCray, who claimed that the institution had been misrepresented to her, and introduced as apart of the evidence that- her husband was to have been employed as traveling agent for the company, and it had not been done. She sued to have a receiver appointed, and to recover stock subscribed. This case was tried before Judge Rhoads, as special judge, who found for the defendant, early last fall. Mr. Samuel Royse was appointed receiver for the company by Judge Rhoads, but was afterwards released at his own request. Dr. Scovill .had become a stockholder and president of the company. President Scovill then asked Judge Allen to appoint a receiver. The request was granted and Mr. W. O. Gunckle was appointed. Messrs. Scovill and Carr then sued the company to foreclose a chattel mortgage held by them. It was found in this suit that the mortgage had not been recorded, and the court granted judgment by default. A member of the company then sued to set aside the judgment that had been taken by default. This suit was before Judge Allen, who found for defendant, which finding made the judgment good. There were two factions among the stockholders from the beginning, one faction favoring the receiver and the other opposing, rather one faction opposing the other in whatever it did. Messrs. Pierce and Hamill were attornies for the company. The plaintiffs, in the suit to have the judgment set aside, asked to have Receiver Gunckle discharged. By agreement in writing between them and the attornies the request was granted, Messrs. Pierce and Hamill giving written consent. Then came Mr. Gunckle into court through Attornies Stimson & Stimson, representing them as the lawful attornies of the company beoause he had discharged Attornies Pierce and Hamill. The hearing of this point was by Judge Rhoads, and Mr. Gunckle was discharged as receiver. The matter was then simplified by the appointment of Mr. Jacob D. Early as receiver. Sinoe that appointment the receiver has sued several stockholders to collect unpaid stock and the company's business has ceased. The machinery is idle and the correspondence remains unanswered. All of the receivers have entered upon their dutieB unwillingly. The atttornies have quarreled in almost every argument concerning the case. Mr. Early frequently receives letters asking for catalogues and price lists of machines manufactured, by the company but the shop is quiet.

MX KEEPING CORRECT TIME.

Scieutilic Method by Which Your Watch Can be Regulated.

A simple method of keeping correct time where access to standard time is inconvenient is thus explained by the Locomotive: Select two fixed points for a range of observation. If a westerly wind can can be chosen which faces any building any where more than twenty-five to thirty feet distant, we have as good a post of observation as we can desire. Drive a nail or stick a pin into the window jamb or, if anything more substantial is wanted, fix a thin piece of metal with a very small hole in it to sightthrough, in any convenient place, so that you can observe the time any star sets or sinks below the roof of the adjacent building, or whatever may be chosen as the more remote sight. Then choose some well defined star, the brighter the better, and with your timepiece

Bet

right (to start

with) observe the time it passes the range of your sights. The exact time, as well also as the date of the observation, should be recorded, then, to find out at any subsequent time how .much your watch has varied from correct time, observe the same scar, and recollect that it sets just 3 minutes and 55.90944 seconds earlier on any given night than it did the preceding night. Thus, if for our first observation was taken some night when the star set at 9 hours, 15 minutes and 23 seconds, and at bur second observation, taken just one week later, it set at 8 hours 4? minutes and 52 seconds, we would know that our watch had kept correct time. If it had set at 8 hours 45 minutes and 52 seconds, we would know that our watch or clock had lost two minutes during the week. And similarily for any other variation. If the time at which it had set had been 8 hours 49 minutes and 52 seconde, we should see that our watch gained two minutes and so on. If the location of our sights admits of it we should select a star ninety degrees, as nearly as possible, from the pole star, for its apparent motion will be greater than that of one near the pole, and the liability of error will be diminished. If a suitable selection can be made the error need not be more than three or four seconds and it will not be accumulative
