PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News. =================================================== FACTS AND FACETIAE. When does a farmer work a miracle ? When he turns a horse to grass. CURE FOR LOVE'S FEVER - "Doctor, what will cure the fever of love?" "The chill of wedlock, mademoiselle." The ST. LOUIS JOURNAL says that "the Bishop of Atlanta is one of the nicest, smoothest, squarest old fellows in the business." JOSH BILLINGS says: "There ain't ennything that will kompletely kure lazyness, but a second wife has been known to hurry it some." "GRACIOUS ME !" exclaimed a lady in a witness box, "how should I know anything about anything I don't know anything about ?" AN AUTUMN IDYLL. The melancholy days have come, the saddest day of the year; it's a little too warm for whisky hot, and a little too cold for beer. FUTURE POETS. - A contemporary says: "Some of our posts may be found amongst our street boys." We hope not. Those street boys are bad enough now, goodness knows. MEN AND SHEEP. - A farmer committed suicide because his sheep did not take the first premium at a fair. We have not heard how the sheep took their disappointment, but it isn't very likely they went to work and made mutton of themselves. TIGHT BOOTS. - Men often admit that they suffer from tight boots, but did you eve hear a lady confess so much ? Not any. Their shoes are always "a mile too big". And that mile generally produces anything but a smile on their faces. A FRENCH newspaper makes the following extraordinary announcement: - LORD SELKIRK arrived at Paris this morning. He is a descendant of the famous SELKIRK whose adventures suggested to DAFOE his "ROBINSON CRUSOE". CHRISTOPHER WELLINGTON WATKINS, after a light supper of pork chops and Welsh rarebit, composed his epitaph as follows: Here lie the remains of C.W.W., Who never more will trouble you, trouble you. "HOW DID IT HAPPEN that your house was not blown away by that hurricane last week?" asked a scientific observer, who was following the track of a tornado, of a farmer whose house lay right in the line of destruction. "I don't know," replied the farmer, unless it's because there's a heavy mortgage on it." THE LEGISLATURE of a Western State, having a bill under consideration for the regulation of tax collectors, an "honourable member" got up on his feet, and said, "Mr. Speaker, I go in heavy for that bill. The tax-collectors are all a set of knaves. I have been one myself for ten years." The bill passed. IN MEMORIAM. - The Philadelphia ' Public Ledger ' states that the Smithsonian Institution is in receipt of CAPTAIN JACK's head. The Modoc chieftain left this as a token of friendship to the whites. Sightseers always stop about ten minutes to look at it, in going through the animal curiosities. [ Good ] TWO STUDENTS meeting on the road with a hostler, they fell to bantering him, and told the fellow they would prove him to be a horse or an ass. "Well," said the hostler, "I can prove your saddle to be a mule." "A mule," cried one of them. "How can that be?" "Because," said the hostler, "it is something between an ass and a horse." THEODORE HOOK was at a musical party at which a certain young lady attempted to sing a very difficult song, which she gave with exaggerated feeling and a great many blunders. "Don't you adore her singing?" asked a gushing old lady who sat next to HOOK. "It is so full of soul." "Well, madam, for my part," answered the wit, "I think there seems more of the flounder than the sole about it." AN ENGINE DRIVER and stoker called at the shop of a well-known temperance man, and asked him if he could show them where MESSRS.________'s spirits vaults were situate. "Yes", replied the Good Templar; "come this way"; and taking them through his shop and house, the back of which faces the parish churchyard, he said, pointing to the graves, "There are the vaults, but the spirits are all gone." "GIVE ME a bid gentlemen - some one start the cart - do give me a bid if you please - anything to start the cart," cried an excited Yankee auctioneer, who stood on the cart he was endeavouring to sell. "Anything you please to start it." "If that's all you wants, I'll start her for you!" exclaimed a broad backed countryman, applying his shoulder to the wheel, and giving the cart a sudden push forwards, tumbled the auctioneer over the side. By the time the fallen auctioneer had regained his feet, the countryman had started too. ONE of the professors attached to a Southern University, who as a Plutonist, has achieved, some notoriety, is apt when lecturing to enliven his discourse and elucidate his meaning by commonplace aphorisms. Dwelling the other day on that portion of history devoted to the story of COLUMBUS and the egg, the professor concluded by stating that a fool can put as many questions in an hour as would puzzle a wise man for a day. "By Jove," exclaimed one of the students, "now I understand how I was plucked last time in constitutional history !" JERE JOHNSON, jun., a noted auctioneer of New York, advertises for sale at ' Far Rockaway, Long Island, ' "nine elegant cottages and seventy-five glorious ocean villa plots," and adds the following invitation: Then come to the sale with Johnson, By the roar of the ocean surf, Come, buy a home by the salt sea foam, In the fairest spot of earth; On the sea-beat shore, which everymore, As now, shall resound with mirth. UNCLE SOLOMON says he has noticed, all through his life, how ready people are, when they have made a mistake to correct it - by abusing somebody else for it. In a night-school, the teacher was trying to make his class understand the meaning of subtraction, and to illustrate the subject, said, "Supposing a farmer had four hundred sheep, and he sold fifty of them, by what process would he understand how many he had left ? What would he do ? A raw-boned lad of fourteen, with beaming face and outstretched arm, replied, as soon as he caught the teacher's eye, "Ask the shuppard, sir?" IN one of the Landseer's early visits to Scotland, he stopped at a village, and took a great deal of notice of the dogs, jotting down rapid sketches of them on a bit of paper. Next day, on resuming his journey, he was horrified to find dogs suspended from the trees in all directions, or drowning in the rivers, with stones round their necks. He stopped a weeping urchin who was hurrying off with a pet pup in his arms, and learned, to his dismay, that he was supposed to be an excise officer who was taking notes of all the dogs he saw, in order to prosecute the owners for unpaid taxes. Another time he went to Portugal, and the King sent for him to express his admiration. "Ah, SIR EDWIN," said his Majesty, "I am glad to see you; I'm so fond of beasts."

PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News. =============================================== HINTS UPON GARDENING. KITCHEN GARDEN. Vegetables in Season: Asparagus, beet, Brussels sprouts, tops of cottager's and Scotch kale, carrots, coleworts, celery, endive, Jerusalem artichokes, leeks, lettuces, mushrooms, onions, parsnips, rhubarb, salsafy, shallots, turnips. The present mild weather will bring in supplies of spinach, broccolis, and all kinds of sprouts, shortly. But, should a severe frost occur, the kitchen garden will be terribly thinned. Therefore, however well supplied you may be with vegetables, cut nothing wastefully and husband the stock. When all the good buttons are removed from the stems of Brussels sprouts (and not before), cut the top cabbages. These make a fine dish. A good supply of turnip-greens may be obtained by putting a lot of swedes in earth in a frame or under a warm wall. They must be in the full daylight, or the sprouts will have no flavour. Asparagus Beds: Clear away weeds, and give a good dressing of rotten dung; that from an old hotbed is preferable. Cover the manure with about three inches of soil from the spaces between the beds. Carrots: A small sowing of early horn may be made on a warm sheltered border; choose ground that was dug up roughly in the autumn, and has been thoroughly exposed to the weather. In light, sandy soil, with a little protection in sharp weather, a nice crop may be had. Old soil from the potting bench, in combination with charred and thoroughly decayed vegetable refuse, and all thoroughly incorporated together, will be invaluable for such purposes. Cauliflowers: Those under hand-lights and in frames should have an abundance of air, whenever the state of the weather will admit of its being done with safely. To keep them hardy and stocky, take the lights entirely off for a few hours on fine days. Keep the foliage dry, and remove all decayed leaves without delay. Cover the lights with mats, straw hurdles, or long litter, on frosty nights. Onions: A small bed of the silver-skinned sown now under the same conditions as required for the carrots will be useful for drawing for salads and flavouring. Peas: Sow a good breadth of the first early sorts. Choose a south border, and make the rows six to eight feet apart. The peas obtain more light, and consequently bear better than they possibly can do when crowded together in the ordinary way, and the spaces between are invaluable for early potatoes, lettuce, radishes, and other early spring crops. Take advantage of frosty weather to wheel manure and dressings of other materials on quarters from which the crops are cleared. This is an important matter, for it ruins walks to wheel upon them when they are wet and soft from the frost and rain. Turn over and mix together manure heaps, to assist the decay of the various components, and prepare them for use without further trouble when the compost is wanted in the spring. Quick and all other hedges, with the exception of evergreens, should be cut and repaired without delay if necessary, so as to leave as little work of this kind as possible for succeeding weeks. Trenching and ridging up unoccupied quarters should be carried on with actively. The ground cannot be too rough, or too much exposed through the winter; therefore the sooner it is done, the longer time will be there for the frost to act upon it. In wet weather, instead of keeping the hands out of doors, set them to examine the various store-rooms, and clear out all the decaying fruit and roots of every description, to prevent the sound ones getting contaminated. FRAME GROUND. - French Beans: Sow in small pots in light rich soil, and directly the pots are full of roots, repot into eight-inch pots. Another good plan is to sow in pans or boxes full of leaf-mould, and prick off into large pots when the first pair of rough leaves are developed. Place near the glass when young, to prevent their being drawn up. Take every precaution to prevent the appearance of the red-spider. Mushrooms: Collect horse-droppings and keep them dry for succession beds. Keep a rather moist temperatures in the mushroon-house of about 55 or 60 deg., and that of the beds five degrees higher. Potatoes: Lay sets of early sorts on the floor of the forcing-house, and in the light, to enable them to form hard purple sprouts, ready for turning out on gentle hotbed. No soil should be put over the tubers, for when they make roots they suffer from the removal to their permanent quarters. FLOWER GARDEN. Very little work of importance can be done in this department at this season. The lawn should be thoroughly swept and rolled once a week at least, to keep a good firm bottom, and give it a clean and cheerful appearance. Gravel walks may now be turned. This should be done without disturbing the rough stuff underneath, for that is not wanted on the surface. Walks when first made should always have a sufficient depth of fine gravel on the surface to admit of their being turned over every other year if required. By turning them in a proper and workmanlike manner, they can be kept clean and in good condition for a long time. CONSERVATORY. - Give air upon all favourable opportunities, and guard against cold currents of air passing over plants lately brought from the forcing-houses. Remove all decayed leaves and flowers, keep the paths and stages clean, and frequently re-arrange the plants. They ought to be re-arranged once a week, and when a few fresh ones are brought in, they light up the groups and give the house a beautiful appearance. These remarks are applicable to all times and seasons, but it is especially necessary that they should receive extra attention just now, for there is little to interest out of doors, and this structure is the principal and in many instances the only resort. As there is necessarily a mixed collection of flowering plants in this structure, and derivable from various sources, some requiring a higher temperature than others, a little attention is necessary in their disposition and arrangement to make all comfortable. Camellias, heths, epacrises, and other hard-wooded plants should be arranged at the cool end. Forced bulbs, and other plants, such as primulas, justicias, euphorbias, violets, lily of the valey, and poinsettias should be kept at the warmest end. Water early in the day to allow the dampness arising therefrom to be quite dried up before night. Keep the atmosphere dry, to prolong the beauty of the plants in bloom as much as possible. An average temperature of 50 deg. to 55 deg. by day, and 45 deg. by night, will meet all requirements. ......................Gardener's Magazine...............................

THAT SUNDAY is the most convenient day for the funerals of poor people, as well as the most appropriate day for funerals generally, does not seem to us open to question. But poor people have no right to live nowadays, nor to die, nor to be buried, and so the great cemeteries have stopped Sunday funerals, on the plea that some mourners got drunk. ..................

PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News. ==================================================== "WAKING" AN EXECUTED MURDERER. - The ' Liverpool Albion ' gives the following account of a "wake" which was held at Liverpool at the house of the man CORRIGAN, whose son was hanged at Kirkdale on Monday for matricide. Old CORRIGAN kept to his purpose of holding the wake which he promised his son. Between ten and eleven o'clock on Monday night upwards of 80 persons were assembled in the lower rooms of the house in Chisenhale-street. The ordinary requisities of a wake were, however, absent. There was neither beer nor tobacco, but in the centre of the front room, a table was placed, covered with a snow-white cloth, on which stood five candlesticks and candles ornamented with white and coloured paper. All present appeared sober and orderly, and their conversation was directed to the sad event of the morning, which they all joined in lamenting. Old CORRIGAN stood near the fire, and was loud in the expression of his grief. He said they were prevented from waking the body of poor Thomas, but they had the satisfaction of meeting together and speaking of their loss.

PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News. =================================================== THE YACHT, GOSHAWK, with MR. FERMOR HESKETH and party on board, arrived at Algiers on the 2nd of January from Gilbralter. THE ACADEMY understands, from private sources, that the Sultan of Zanzibar has by no means relinquished his intention of visiting England in the spring or summer. His Highness has, it believes, sent home an order for a steamer of considerable size, that is to cost some £40,000. THE KING OF BAVARIA has had a fall from his horse. In descending a slope, wishing to put on his paletot, he had taken the reins in his mouth, when the animal took fright, and stooping suddenly, jerked the rider over its head. Fortunately the ground was sandy, so that the King escaped with only a slight scratch on the right cheek. MR. HENRY GLASSORD BELL, sheriff of Lanarkshire, died last week. He was fond of literary pursuits. A volume of his occasional productions was published by MACMILLAN, under the title of "Romances and Ballads." His literary fame will rest, however, on his poem "Mary Queen of Scots," written in his early years. RIVALS IN BUSINESS. Having manufactured and exposed for sale a certain mysterious adjunct of feminine dress, called a "Dolly Varden improver," MR. CHARLES MONTAUGE, managing director of Caoutchoue and Kamptulicon Company, found himself defendant in a police case, the charge being one of fraudulent imitation. It was clearly shown that the prosecutors, MESSRS. BATTOCK, had claimed as a novelty an invention which has been in use for twenty years. This being considered by the magistrate, MR. INGHAM, to end the case, he dismissed the summons, ordering the complainants to pay five guineas to the defendant, for costs. ALARMING FIRE AT DUNDEE. - An alarming and extensive conflagration occurred in Dundee, whereby a warehouse belonging to MESSRS. A. and D. EDWARDS, containing thousands of bales of jute, the property of JOHN SHARP, was totally destroyed. The damage will be £12,000, covered by insurance in the Queen, Northern, and Westminster offices. The cause of the disaster is not ascertained. Two men had been employed loading jute from the warehouse and, observing flames at the farther end of it, gave the alarm; but before the brigade arrived, the flames had obtained such a mastery that they were only extinguished when the property had been totally destroyed. SINGULAR CAPTURE OF A SPLENDID GOLDEN EAGLE. - The "Inverness Advertiser" says that as two men were engaged recently in repairing a house at Craiguanach, Lochaber, they observed a golden eagle on the ground, devouring what proved to be a rabbit. One of the men cautiously approached the bird, which was too intent in swallowing the carcase of the rabbit to notice his movements, and threw down a bundle of brackens with which he was thatching the cottage on its back. A severe struggle ensued, but the two men, assisted by MR. MACDONALD, gamekeeper, managed to secure their prize, which proved to be a fine specimen, measuring seven feet from tip to tip, a size which is seldom equalled in the golden eagle.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. COLLISION AT LEEDS. As a train for Leeds was leaving the Exchange Station, it came into collision with a goods engine employed in shunting. The steps and footboards of several carriages were torn away, and some carriage doors broke. A second accident occurred at the same place shortly afterwards, a train being run into a siding with so much force as to cause the buffers to give way. Many passengers were severely shaken. COLLISION BETWEEN A PASSENGER AND GOOD TRAIN. On Wednesday night a passenger train from Glasgow for Edinburgh, came into collision with a goods train, near Falkirk. The result was that about half-a-dozen passengers were injured so seriously as to require medical assistance. They were attended at once by DR. ARTHUR MITCHELL, Edinburgh. MR. ROBERTSON, saddler, Polmont, was the passenger who was most seriously injured. JAMES URIE, the guard of the passenger train, sustained a scalp wound. The engine-driver and stoker escaped with slight injuries. The train from Glasgow at nine o'clock brought the passengers to Edinburgh by Greenhill and Larbert. FALL OF A TUNNEL. The tunnel between Merthyr and Abernant Stations on the Vale of Neath section of the Great Western Railway, fell in as a goods trains was passing through, almost burying the engine. The driver and stoker, by jumping off, fortunately avoided injury. On examination, the roof was found to be in a very unsafe condition for a considerable distance, and it will be some days at least before traffic can be resumed. The road itself has caved in, consequent on the coal being worked out from under it. For some years past it has been known that coal-workings were approaching very near the tunnel, and fears have frequently been expressed of a catastrophe. The colliers working in their stalls could hear all the trains passing over their heads, and the men in the tunnel could hear the colliers picking at the coal-headings underneath their feet. FATAL COLLISION OF THE GREAT NORTHERN. The Great Northern Scotch express, leaving Edinburgh at 10.45 a.m., is due at Grantham at 6.56 p.m. On Saturday it was a few minutes late in leaving York. On reaching Selby, a dense fog prevailed, rendering it impossible to see many yards ahead, but the train was under the charge of COBB, one of the steadiest drivers on the line, and all having been reported clear at Retford and Newark, at both of which places the express stops, COBB drove on at the usual speed of twenty-five or thirty miles an hour past Claypole and Houghham Stations, and the signals at Barkstone junction standing at all clear, he had arrived within a few hundred yards of the points before he observed a Boston train coming out on the main line immediately in front of the express. There was no time for more than a sharp whistle, indicating danger, when the engine of the Scotch express struck into the local train, crushing the back carriage immediately in front of the break van, and making sad havoc amongst the leading carriages. The engine and tender of the Boston train by some means - probably owing to the driver observing his danger, and putting on a sudden extra pressure of steam - broke away from the carriages, and the driver and stoker escaped uninjured. COBB, the driver of the express, also got off clear with a severe shaking, but his stoker was so severely scalded that his life is despaired of. All the carriages in the Boston train were more or less injured, and thrown down the embankment on the up side of the railway. The body of one man - apparently a fisherman, being dressed as a sailor and wearingn high boots - was taken out from beneath the debris of a carriage at the bottom of the embankment. Two other passengers were seriouly hurt, and many sustained severe injuries. As far as has been ascertained at present, none of the passengers in the express train have suffered seriously. About eight o'clock a special train arrived from Grantham, into which the express passengers were transferred and brough on, in the first instance, to that station. Meantime gangs of labourers were set at work to clear the line, and intelligence of the disaster was sent on to the authorities at King's-cross. MR. COCKSHOTT, superintendent of the Great Northern Railway, with MR. JOHNSON, the engineer, had only left Grantham at three o'clock the same afternoon on their return to London, but on receipt of the telegraphic news, a special train left London for this place, where it has just arrived, bringing MR. OAKLEY, general manager; MR. COCKSHOTT, the superintendent; MR. CARR JACKSON, consulting surgeon to the railway, and other officials.

PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News. =============================================== RAILWAY DISASTERS IN DECEMBER. The list for the past month (say the "Pall-mall Gazette") gives twenty-eight railway disasters, of which one only was a genuine 'accident ', being caused by the violence of the gale which raged all over the island about the middle of December. Twenty-one were collisions entirely preventible and the clear result of gross negligence. In these twenty-one collisions, three persons have been killed, the life of another is despaired of, and ninety-five are reported more or less seriously injured, of whom about sixteen are very dangerously hurt. On a rough calculation, about 160 have been bruised, cut, and severely shaken. We have no means of computing the degree of loss caused by breakage and damage done to stock, lines and material; but it must be enormous. The compensation hereafter to be paid to injured passengers, and the costs of all kinds to be defrayed where cases are brought into law courts, will be a serious diminution of the shareholders' dividends, far more, probably, than would have been involved by a general rise of wages, shortening of hours, and the adoption of the block system, interlocking points and continuous breaks. If a schoolmaster inquires as to the culprit in the case of some misdemeanour or reasonable joke, there is often a chorus of young voices uniting in the cry, "Please, sir, it wasn't me", and the reply of the various railway chairmen to MR. CHICESTER FORTESCUE's circular seems like an echo in a bass voice of the little boys' defence. Nevertheless, there has been, since the issue of that letter, a perceptible though not a relatively large improvement on the returns, and from the notice published by several boards of premiums offered to such of their servants as shall not within the space of three months or one year be reported against for negligence or recklessness, it is obvious that the railway authorities perfectly understand not only their situation with regard to the just requirements of the travelling public, but the means by which safety can be almost certainly ensured.

PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News =================================================== SMALL NEWS ITEMS. MILDNESS OF THE SEASON. - Two young gooseberries were seen by MR. J. DOUTHWAITE, growing in MR. TEASDALE's garden, at Dufton House, on the 10th inst. A MELBOURNE TELEGRAM announces that Victoria is experiencing an intensely hot season, and the weather is very dry. A COMMITTEE consisting of LORD LANSDOWNE, President, MR. CAMPBELL BANNERMAN, M.P., the Quartermaster-General, MAJOR-GENERAL ARMSTRONG, SIR JOHN ADYE, and SIR WILLIAM DRAKE, is now sitting at the War Office, to inquire into the organisation of the Control Department. M. DE CHAUDORDY, the new French ambassador to Switzerland, was officially received by the Federal Council on the 8th inst. IT IS STATED that several well-known barristers have applied to the Lord Chancellor for "silk", and it is expected that early in the term, some appointments will be made. DR. CAIRD, the Principal of the Glasgow University, is to be called over the coals for heresy. His particular offence is differing from the belief of a certain elder. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES left London on Saturday night for Russia. They travelled from Charing-cross by a special train to Dover, and a considerable crowd mustered on the platform to take leave of them. MR. LAYARD will have another serious complaint to make at Madrid. An English steamer, the ' Ellen Constance ', was fired into by the Spanish flagship as she was leaving Porman. Not content with this, the flag-ship ran into her and sank her, drowning three of the crew. THE REV. J. CROMPTON, Free Christian Minister at Norwich, who recently seceded to the Church of England, is about to seek orders in the diocese of Exeter. Several of MR. CROMPTON's congregation at Norwich have joined the Church of England. AT THE MANSION HOUSE POLICE-COURT, LONDON, a serious loss has been sustained through the death of the chief clerk, MR. G. C. OKE. The Lord Mayor, in making this announcement, eulogised the ability and zeal which MR. OKE had always displayed as the confidential adviser of a long succession of civic magistrates. THE CARPENTER, BOATSWAIN, and six seamen of the British barque ' City of Durham ', of Sunderland, bound to Rio de Janerio with a cargo of coals, were brought before the East Stonehouse magistrates on Saturday, and each sentenced to ten week's imprisonment in Exeter Gaol for refusing to do duty when at sea. ASSAULT ON A HUSBAND WITH A HAMMER. - A woman named ANN FIELD or SANDERSON was accused before Sheriff HAMILTON, at the Summary Court, recently, of having assaulted her husband on the 4th inst. The panel denied the charge, but as it appeared from the evidence that on the evening of the day in question, she dealt her husband two blows on the head with a hammer, the sheriff ordered her to be kept at hard labour for sixty days. POISONING BY MISTAKE. - The village of Creek, the scene of the recent poisoning of MRS. GULLIVER seems unfortunate. An inquest has just been held there on the body of an old man, named THOMAS SIMCOE, a small farmer, who died from partaking of a pudding in which "Cooper's Dipping Composition" had been mixed in lieu of egg-flour. It seems his wife, an old woman of 70, made the pudding, mixing with it the powder, which was in a cupboard with other condiments, and which she supposed to be egg-flour. She and her husband and grand-daughter partook of it, and all became very ill afterwards. The old woman and her grand-daughter recovered, but the old man succumbed. He was put to bed and went to sleep, but never woke again. He was found dead by his wife's side.

PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News. =============================================== AGRICULTURE #2 BEEF CONSUMED IN U.S.A. The quantity of beef consumed in the principal cities of the United States is something enormous. To satisfy the cravings of the busy population of New York, 450,000 cattle are annually subjected to the pole-axe; Philadelphia yearly consumes the carcases of 250,000 animals; the appetite of Boston is appeased with 120,000 beasts; Brooklyn is content with 100,000; St. Louis as many as Baltimore - 150,000; Chicago, 170,000; and other cities and towns about 400,000. When we think that these cities are great pork consumers besides, the figures are all the more wonderful.
