"ANOTHER ARREST. "


"a white man of the name of Andrew Jackson
Smith, was yesterday arrested on writ issued by
Judge Lynch 1t seems that the suspicious of
our vigilant postmaster were aroused by the sim
gular appearance of Smiths trunk, and on break
ing it open, his worst conjectures were more than
realized. 1t was full of infamable papers, Eman-
cpators and Liberaors, evidently intended for dis
tribution among the slaves. On this being known
the people of the town, headed by his honor judge
Lynch, turned out in pursuit of the monster Smith
He was soon caught, and being brought into the
village, was furnised gratis with new coat--of
tar and feathers-black turned up with white.
The craven roared Justify during the operation,
and manifested the most cowardly Impotence
He has had lesson which he will not soon forget.
"P. S.-We learn that it has been satisfactorily
ascertained that Smith is innocent of the charges
against him. We are glad of it. The man who
would come here at this time to raise rebellion,
is unworthy the name and respect of man. He
is indeed, fit for murder, stratagem and spoils.-
We congratulate Mr.. Smith that the suspicious
against him have proved to be unjust"
And this was all the satisfaction that could OBJ
tain.

HAYTI,

The ignorance of the history and condition Of
this republic evinced by those of our southern
masters who oppose the recognition of its indie
pendence, and by most newspaper editors, too, is
truly deplorabe. All of them assume, without
question, that the slaves of St. Domingo rose
in instruction and butchered their masters with
out mercy or discrimination; and if they had done
so, why should they not? The fact, however,
was far otherwise. In 1893, slavery was abolish
ed in the French West Indies by an ordinance of
the Directory, code of regulations adapted to
the condition of the freemen was framed and the
island remained under the wise and patriotic rule
of Toussaint POuverture, the African Washing
ton himself an emancipated slave. We have the
concurrent testimony of the most respected au-
authorities, that st. Domingo was never so advan-
tageously cultivated or so prosperous as during
the next years. In 1902, Napoleon Bonaparte at
tempted to reestablish the former order Of things

India rubber is an excellent substitute for leath-
er, in constructing valves for pumps.
To prepare husks for mattresses strip the husk
from the ear, cut off the 'stub shot" ends with a
pair of shears, and draw them repeatedly through
a hatchel, and they will be fit for use.
Every gate-post on the farm should have a
small hole bored into it, to be filled with grease,
and plugged up, to grease the atches and hinges.
Want of grease is often observed; but not hav-
ing it at hand, it is generally never applied.
Door latches often work unpleasant and with
difficulty from want of oiling. A few drops
upon them will in such cases operate like magic
Fill your wood houses in winter with cut wood
and touch none of it till next summer at which
time, by becoming dry, it will be worth twice
its present value, and there will be no Interrupt
ton to other work, in procuring fuel.
A most excellent application to diminish fric-
ton in carriage wheel boxes, is mixture of grease
or soft tallow with pulverized soap stone. Black
lead substituted for the soap stone, is next best
Wood which proves troublesome by swapping on

stick with the heart inwards, when all the snap

Hay-racks, for feeding animals, are best when
placed in a vertical position instead of inclining
outwards, as in the former case there is less La
biity of the hay being wasted, the heads of the
animals will not become filled with hay-seed, and
their breath will not ascend, and render the hay
offensive.

To extingush chimney on fire, the great OBJ
ect is to stop the current of air upwards through
it. In some tight houses this, may be effected in

closing it with the fire-board.
Ink spots on the pages of book may, if fresh,
be entirely removed by solution of oxac acid,

may be partially removed. As oxaic acid is
