Mr.. Phinney, the celebrated pork rais-
er, states in the New England Farmer
that with good breeds he has always found
that four quarts of Indian or barley meal,
with an equal quantity Of apples, pump
kins, potatoes, or other roots, will give two
pounds of pork. He says that judicious
crossing is the only way by which a good
breed Of swine can be kept and preserved.
He keeps from 100 to $50 fattening swine.
He kills them at and 10 months, and Is
and l6 months old-the last named class
weigh from $50 to 500 lbs., and the first
named from $50 to $50 lbs; His farm is
only about 20 acres, and the most of his
pig fodder is from three or four acres Of
beets, potatoes, carrots, cabbages lettuce,
&c. The manure from the pens makes
500 loads a year, and pays for all the food
which he purchases for them.

TRADER MURDERED.

From the Macon (Geo) Telegraph.
TOBACCO TRADER MURDERED.
TO the Editor of the Telegraph:
A murder was committed on the body
OF an unknown person, on the Sd Of April,
at night, in Laurens county, Georgia, at or
near Robert Higdon's Mills, supposed to
be sixty years of age, very stout and ro-
bust for his age, he had two horse wag-
on partially loaded with tobacco, in com
pany with young man who he said he
had hired to drive his wagon; and while
at supper, we suppose was strucka NOR
tai blow with the edge of an axe, which
he had with him, and which blow partial
ly severed his head from his neck; and we
have every reason to believe said blow was
struck by the young man that was driving
his wagon, he being absent the next NOR
ming, and we suppose took one horse from
the wagon and made his escape towards
Macon, and the other broke loose and fol-
lowed after him, as one rope was cut with
knife, and the other broken, and the RI
ding of horse was heard passing houses
towards Macon 8 or 10 miles, and a loose
horse following but few minutes after.
We suppose the murderer took all the mo-
ney and papers of the deceased, as there
was no money nor papers found in his pos
session, only part of paper entitled the
North Carolinian, on the margin of which
was written William Bostick. We sup
pose the deceased came from North Caro-
lima or Virginia, and left home early in
February last, and said he had deposited
Tobacco in Macon for sale; and no doubt
the young man who we suppose murdered
him, has made his way there to get the
proceeds of SAID deposit. The old man
was heard to call the driver Terrell. Any
person knowing the name of the above in
dividual will please make it known.
Descrfption.---The man murdered, was
about feet, or inches high, his hair
very white and tolerable long. The young
man, from what W. can understand, was
about feet high, we'll made, supposed to
be about 20 years of age, of light COM
plexion; he said he staid in Macon 8 or
months last year.

Do The youth Terrell, noticed in the

murderer, was arrested on the race course
near this city, on Tuesday last, and imme-
diately conveyed to Laurens comfy for
trial He had in his possession Number
of manuscript papers of the unfortunate
man who was murdered. We have no
further particulars that will shed light on
this mysterious afair---butthere is no doubt
when a judicial investigation takes place,
that the murder will implicate more than
one, and stand upon record as one of cold
blooded enormity.

FOREIGN.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

CANADA CLERGY RESERVES. On the 9th
July, Lord John Russell explained the
course he intended to take with respect
TO the Clergy Reserves. A proposition
had been made to him by those who
had most right TO represent the Church OF
England in Parliament and which he was
also told was considered prelectIy fair by
persons likely to know the opinion OF the
Church OF Scotland
Ii was proposed that one-(onrth, or
rather the proceeds OF that one-lourth
which was already sold, should be given
absolutely 10 the Church of England and
the Church OF Scotland, in the proportion
OF Two to one that is being divided into
three equal parts, Two OF those parts
should be given to the Church of Eng land
and one to The Church Of Scotland II
was proposed further, with regard 10 the
remaining three-iourths of the Clergy Re-
serves, that they should be divided into
equal parts, of which one shall be given to
the Church of England and Church oil
Scotland, and the other part should be
lett to the purposes OF religious worship and
instruction. With respect 10 that part
which was TO be lett to tie Churches OF
England and Scotland, it was proposed
that a similar division should take place
as was proposed with regard to the one
fourth which was already sold namely
two-ihirds to the Church OF England and
one-third TO the Church OF Scotland. That
division did not rest on anv ground OF
superiority oil the Church of Eng land over
that of Scotland but il they took the
number of Presbylerlans Of the Church oil
| Scotland alone, and the number III men,
bers Of the Church OF England in Canada,
they would find that the latter amounted
| in round numbers 10 about so 900, and the
former only to about 10000. There was
this further proportion, that such being
the general division OF the proceeds OF the
Clergy Reserves with respect TO the one
fourth which was already sold, and the
proceeds Of which were already partly in
vested in the funds of this country and
standing in the names Of trustees, IL was
proposed, reverting TO the principle which
used to be adopted and was aged to by
Parliament, but which was changed In
1881 when some modification was made
by the noble Lord opposite then Secretary
OF State for the Colonies that the whole
OF the proceeds now payable to the
Church OF England and the Church oil
Scotland out of the revenue OF Upper
Canada should be guaranteed permanently
TO the Church Of England and the Church
OF Scotland. The amount now paid 10
The Church Of England was f7,7O0, and
the Church oil Scotland $50. IL was
now proposed to guarantee the payment
permanently. 1t seemed 10 him if that
payment were 10 be guaranteed at all, il
ought to be done out OF the funds Of this
