THE RASH STEP TAKEN BY A WEALTHY AND ACCOMPLISHED PITTSBURG GIRL. The little town of Beaver, which is

one of the suburbs of Pittsburgh, is in

a terrible state of excitement.

complished young ladies of the town, left her mother’s house and deliberately married a négro, who is as ugly and ignorant as he is black. For some time past Annie Mason has given her parents a good deal of trouble by her reckless, wayward conduct, but, being an only daughter, she was spoiled by indul-

gence. Her father is United States storekeeper in Indiana county, but lives in Beaver, and is wealthy. Her

uncle is ex-Chiet Justice Daniel Agnew, of the Supreme Court, and the family is one cf the best in this part of the State. Mrs. George Jones, nee Miss Annie Mason, is 20 years old. She is a brunette, with large eyes, exceeds ingly pretty face, and fine form. She had a quarrel with her parents on Wednesday night, and early on Thurs- day forenoon she left her home and met George Jones, a coarse, iiliterate coal digger, by an appointment which she had made by some unknown means the night before. At 5 o’clock in the morning Jones and Miss Mason went to Rochester, which is about a mile from Beaver, and hurried to the house of a colored clergyman, who married them in the presence of two white men, who were called in to act as wits nesses. The couple then took the next train back to Beaver, where Jones hired a reom in a small house which has only three rooms in it, two of which are already occupied by negro families. The reckless girl sent home for her trunk, piano, and some of the ornas ments from her room, and this was the first intimation her mother had of the marriage. Her mother tried to pers suade her daughter to return to her home, but she refused. Her father is not at home, and knows nothing as yet of the affair. It is not known how Miss Mason became acquainted with Jones, or where she ever met him. Threats are openly made by the young men of Beaver tarring and feathering Jones and driving him out of the town, but up to the present time nothing has been done, and Mr. and Mrs. Jones are living in their squalid room, while the

Little Things on the Farm.

No where does close economy and the attention to small things pay better than on the farm. The little leaks are what run away with the profits in farming, and it does not require much time or trouble, usually, to stop the leak when it first begins. It is the slightest of work to replace a rail or a board when it has been pushed from a fence; but it is more serious to re-build the entire fence, after it has been neglected for years, and permitted to tumble all to pieces. Nor is this al]. A tumble- down fence may cost the farmer acres of grain. Many a farmer has found his corn trampled down by the stock, which never could have entered if he had re-

laced every rail as it became dislodged. hen decay once commences, it proceeds rapidly, unless checked at onee. A board falls off a building, and is not replaced. Very soon another board fellows, and it will not be many years before what might have been a good-looking and eomtort able building is a perfect ruin.

We have seen some farms without a hennery. Amang the seemingly more important duties, provision for the fowls was thought to be too insignificant to re- ceive attention. ‘The result was that the poultry were roosting in buildings that should be kept clean, and among farm implements which they were disfiguring, if not ruining. More time was spent in cleaning up after the chickens than would have been required to build half a dozen hen-houses. Here wasa direct loss; but it was not the only one. The hens had no place provided for them to lay, and so they often sought out-of-the-way places, where the eggs were found ; and here was more loss.

And so in very much that is regarded as of small importance on the farm neglect results very expensively. Go on a farm on which every detail is attended to, and the smallest with as great care as the largest, and prosperity will be found there. Leaving out of the question al- together the increased pleasure which comes from having a place for eve: ything and everything in its place—of having order everywhere —there is profit in it.

On such a farm the swill barrel never gets what will give a better profit out of it than in it; the butter is not made in such a way as to be worth nothing except for grease; the chips about the woodpile are not permitted to rot; the strawstack is not permitted to go to waste; the manure is carefully saved, whether it is

made by the cattle, fowl, or swine; and,

in short, there is strict economy, order, and, what always accompanies them, — Western Rural,
