Jn addition to this is a neat water closet of the latest pattern.

The farm is known as the Rose: Hill farm,lot No. 8, Srd concession, block A, township of Wilmot. _ It contains 100 aeres with ten or fifeen aeres in fine hardwood timber. _ Prior to his taking possession, about seventeen years ago, it was owned and occupied by a a wealthy Seotch bachelor who lived upon it in company with his sister for nearly forty years. Only five orsix acres had been cleaved. _ 3o it will be scen that Mr. and Mrs.sbantz can be called pioneers in one sense, for they had the work of the average | pioneer to pefrâ€" form ere they could possess the comâ€" fortable modern home they occupy toâ€" day. _ The soil of this farm is exceedâ€" ingly fertile and produces annually large crops of grain, hay, roots, etce. In stock tfrom ten to â€" twelve head of cows, fiftecen to twenty head of young vattle, six head of horses and . twenty â€" five or thirty hogs are. usually kept. The latter are usually disposed of when they are from six to cight weeks old, Mr. Shantz believing that method the most profitable â€" when fonr and five dellars each or per pair can be had. He raises quite it numberofeabves cach season, and iamong | the new arrivals this spring is quite a freak of nature in the shape of twins. _ One of these is spotless white and its mate as comâ€" pletely red as an animal can be. There are also sevetal fine horses in his stables and especially a most perfectly matched span of dark bay Arabian earâ€" riage horses They arevery handsome aninmuls and fast travelers, and should command a faney price.

Away to the southâ€"ceast the sight is lost in the hazy distance, and objects eight or nine miles away can be plainly seen on a bright crisp morning. _ These homes of magnificeut distances, however,are peculiar toSouth Wilmot and that portion of Blenheim adjoining. In front of Mr. Shantz‘s residence is a large lawn, but it is not yet beautified to the extent he desires it to be and which he contemplites doâ€" ing. _ In it are a lot of Norway spruce, Seotch cedar and tall andQpuely shade trees. _ Near the fence along the road are two locust trees of unusual height for this species. _ As near as L am able to figure it out they were planted more than seventy years ago. ‘Their extraorâ€" dinary height for trees of this kind planted by buman hands should bear out this calculation. The residence is one among the best of farm houses in this section, and as to modern equipment of | the interior surpasses many of those having a more imposing exterior. As to its design Mr. Shantz was his own arehitect, and the work was given out by contract toâ€" the lowest bidder. â€" There is abundance of room and the whole is.very neatly finâ€" ished, the woodwork being black ash and beech. _A good cellar is one of its In eonnection with fhiis fiarming Mr. Shantz does considerable | butehering. principally beet eatte during the winâ€" ter season. ‘These he retails to the village people imd his sarroundific neighhors. ffe kills on an mverage from twontyâ€"five to thirty tine beeves a seaâ€" son. _ He also does the stughtering for the Beef Syndicate, . more: commonly known as the "beet ring." .

One of the attorneys from the Indian depreâ€" dation claims department neonm?l her to the door, and after whe bade bim goodby he said : s "In 1864 Lieutenant Larfmer, who had just been honorably discharged from the Union army, left bis bome in Kansas, accompanied by his young wife and little child, to cross the plains for the restoration of his bealth, which had given out through bard service in the war. They were in company with sevâ€" eral other travelers and bad with them valuable personal belon§ings, consist ing of several wagons and horses, exâ€" pensive clothing, family jewels, a comâ€" plete photographic outft and nearly $4.000 in money. When in Wyoming territory, they were eurprised by a band of Sioux Indians, who inurdered three of the party, wounded two, Lientenant Larimer being one of the wounded, and captured Mrs. Larimer and ber child. The Indians took the woman and child to their camp, about 70 miles from the spot where they had attacked the travelers. "A day or two after the attack news came to the Eleventh cavalry, stationed at Fort Laramie, Wy., that the Sioux bad attacked travelers on the emigrant road and had carried Mrs. Larimer and ber child into captivity. Lientenant Larimer bad been found, nearly dead from arrow wounds and distracted at the fate which bad befallen bis wife and baby. ‘The officers of the Eleventh immediately moved part of their com:â€" mand up the Platte river and obtained furtber information as to where the taid bad taken place. They were about to move against the Indians with a force ef two companiss when Mrs Larimer came crawling into camp, car rying ber child ir ber arms, Their con: dition was deplorable. She and the child were nearly famished. As soon as Mrs Larimer was able she gave a detailed account of the position of the Indians. their plans and movements, their deâ€" signs against the command which they knew wonld be moving against them. their numbers and the ambuscades which they had prepared. Herinformaâ€" tion was so valuable that the cfficers were able to thwart the designs of the Indians, not only against the pursuing troops, but against exposed points and trains that were on the emigrant road. friends in the department:of justice. The files of Indian depredation claime contain no more romantic and thrilling incidents than those which relate the early life of Mrs. Larimer.

The nmognt of power expended on playing on a piano has recently been ligured out in a way which, if not altoâ€" gether aceurate, is at least interesting. Commenting on the statement that it really requires more force to sound a note gently on this fustrument than it does to lift the lid of a kettle, says Woâ€" man‘s Life, it is ensy to verify it, if one takes a small handful of coins and piles them on a key of a piano. The Curious Procession That May Be Seen In Norway Forests. In the deep pine forests of Norway the woodcutters sometimes find a serâ€" pentine object nearly 50 feet long crawling slowly over the ground. If they did not know that it was made up of millions of little worms, they might be frightered by its peculiar appearance. These worms, called the sciara, gatzer during July and August in large numbers preparatory to imiâ€" grating in search of food or for change of condition. When setting out on this journey, they stick themselves together and form a huge serpentlike mass, often reaching a length of beâ€" between 40 and 50 feet and seyeral inches in thickness. As the sciara is only on an avernge about three thirtyâ€"seconds of an inch in length and barcly wider than a fine nceedle, the number required to comâ€" pose a line of the size above menâ€" tioned is enormous. . Their pace is very slow, and upon meeting an obâ€" stacle, such as a stick or stone, they will either writhe over or around it, sometimes breaking Into two bodies for this purpose. M. Guerinâ€"Meneville, & celebrated French naturalist, says that if the rear portion of this wonderful snakelike procession be brought into contact with the front part and a sort of circle formed the Insects will keep moving vround and round in that circle for bours and bours without apparently noticing that they mre not getting on in their journey. If the procession be broken in two, the portions will reâ€" unite in a short time. A ROPE OF WORMS. Yog gain what the banks lose by tr with merchants who do a cash business and give Trading Stamps.
