One of the most dastardly crimes crer known in the annals of Noth ampton was committed near Jackson on the morning of April 1st Mr. j Atlas Taylor, a highly respectable and quiet citizen,, was foully murder ed at his home at the early hoars in the morning by having hi3 head beat almost to pieces with a maul in the hands of unknown .' persona, and his body carried for some distance across fields and roads and thrown into a creek. , : ,v . . : "" He must hare shown signs of life while being carried to the creek as his assassins beat his head j against a tree while on their way as was evi denced by blood and hair on the tree. . '! . .' j.- ' The most accepted theory for the cause of the murder is that he rising Nearly in the morning, heard the as sassins about to break into his barn or stable, and went out and coming on them of a sudden, tbey ;aUacked him, and that he reached under the barn tor the maul to defend him self, that it was wrenched from his hands and he beaten to death with it. . to teachers: "We suggest that you "read the aboye article to your primary grammar class and have them reproduce it in 'their own language.

' Mr. Wellington Cummer, of Michigan, President of the Cum mer Companv a firm owning a large amount of property in North ampton', was on 'a visit - to ' asker for a few days the first of April.

" There is no liquor sold in North ampton at present, but there is one application, that of Mr. Geo. P.

J At about 3 o'clock p. m., April 9th the large, new barn and stable of Mr. Jere Brown, of Lasker was en- tirely consumed by fire, together with nearly all his co fn, fodder, plows &C. ' , ' peas; pea nuts, harness ana one vaiuaDie norse. ana one mule. -This fire occurred in broad day light and though there were in a few minutes after the fire started as many men around the barn as could well work, yet, owing to the large amount of hay, fodder, pea nuts, &c, stored in the barn, the flames spread so rapidly, being fan-. ned by a1 hard wind that was blow ing at the time, the heat was so in tense that the horse and mule could not be gotten out and were burned to death. The barn doubtless caught fire from live cinders from the engine of his grist and saw , mill located about a hundred yards away, as the wind was blowing ihard directly from the mill to the barn. Mr. Brown is j an honest, hard working man, 'has done much for his community, nver turning a deaf ear to appealsj for help from vorthy persons, and we sympathize with him in his great loss." j Though it is yery convenient to ' be perfectly souud, and taiiig great build barnes anci stables under one i care that no stale eggs get mijced up roof, yet in our rnild climate, we with the freih ones.

Sometimes whole coop is lost, so it is best to be, sure they are nailed or fastened se curely. Great care should be exercised in packing eggs for shipment to market. Crates holding4 thirty dozen is the mos!' convenient, and perhaps the cheapest Way of shipnin?. Most commission houses will furnish them free if -you retu rn , them promptly. Straw, or some soft substance, should. j be . placed in the bottom of the crates before putting in the cases, and the bottoms and sides of the crates should be examined each time before shipping to see that they are well fastened, as frequently the bottom of a crate filled with egg drops out breaking nearly all the paper should be'placed on he egos L before putting on the top ; so that snouia me craie oe inrneo. over la. transit, as is frequently! the case, the egg3 will not be brosen bj com ing in contact with' the lid.
