CALVES WITH SHEEP.

CALVES WITH SHEEP.
We have in previous volumes spoken par
ticularly Of the advantages Of letting calves
run with sheep; few more words now may
he useful. We have found by experiment
that calves have improved in their strength
and appearance and become more thrifty
and active on being allowed TO run with
Sheep,though their feed was the same, and in
ahis situation we have never known or heard
If their being infested with lice, though for
aught we know it may be the case.
In this way calves can generally be taken
care of with less trouble they can lay down
among the sheep more at their ease than
when lied up, and as they go to water with the
sheep and are confined in a yard with them
under proper regulations while the larger
cattle are out, they are not liable 10 injury
from other creatures.
The sheep and calves run in yard which
may be opened in the morning till the other
cattle are turned out, and opened again tow
ards night when the cattle arc housed. This
gives the weaker animals good opportunity

Z After sheep have run over hay and picked
out the finest part, the rest seems we'll adap-
ted to the support of calves, and is doubtless
very wholesome food for them, and is excel

medicines, by feeding them wholly on sleeps
orts. Some were raked out from the ma
nure when it had been buried several inches
deep, but they were readily eaten, and prov
ed more valuable than the best of hay, as
they were medicated food Yankee Farmer.

Ha,okins, the Robber of the Franklin Bank IN
Baltimore.-It is now ascertained from an
examination of the books of the Franklin
Bank that James L. Hawkins, the former
cashier, is defaulter for over sSlO0,OOO,'be-
sides being indebted by regular loans for
about $4,000 His Indebtedness of all
kinds, is now stated at $685. O0 being near

and some of it's results are OF a most mel
ancholy character. He resigned MS once
in the bank some time last summer, before
II was known to any save the dictatorship
that he was largely indebted to the instltu-
ton, after having been its cashier for twenty
wears, during all of which time he was be-
iieved by the world to be man OF lncor-
ruptible integrity, and possessed OF all the
virtues that endear one to his fellows. EIr
When he first entered the institution ne
was poor, but his salary increased gradually
till it reached $4,000, and a dwelling; yet
il was certain that his expensive style OF llv-
ing could leave little to be laid up from this
source. He first received some $lO,OOO
from his wife's estate, and this he was un-
derstood to have invested so fortunately, that
the ten thousand grew to twenty, then TO
thirty, and forty, and fifty; and going on IN
equally fortunate investments and spec9'a'
tons, 1t grew 10 ono hundred thousand
Then he drew prize of go, 600 in a lottery,
and fortune smiled on him, every thing pros
pered with him, and he became wealthy
man. But he was prospecting by fraud the
while. Like Dabney and Lewis he had VEN
tured once to appropriate to his own use
small amount of the propertyrpf the bank
and the Rubicon passed, compunctious visit
ings were like those of the angeles He paus-
ed not, until. by chance, during his absence,
for u brief time last spring, his long conceal
ed frauds were discovered. and then. surren-
dering privately his property to the bank, ne
preciptately left Baltimore. tn'di
His wife, on learning that he had become
involved in pecuniary difficulties, sent tor
one of the directors and handed him re-
lease of her dowry in the real estate. She
had then no thought that crime could be laid
to his charge, and it was only two weeks
ago that the fact was made known to her,
She was devoted and affectionate wife, no.
le.hearted and high. spirited; one who could
have met poverty with smile, but, as she
said, could not survive dishonor. She sank
uuickly under the accumulation ut mental
suffering, and on the evening of the 10th
died of broken heart. She told those
around her that she was dying, and besought
them 10 send for her husband. He came
from his concealment in time to receive the
last look of the partner of his young years
and the solace of his old age-the victim of
his crimes, whose parting words wore yet OF
forgiveness and affection. How many such
scenes there have been in the last few years.
