a SAD CAsE.-The Westminster Penn,
Jeffersonlan, in noticing the death of ohm
Patton, lad ii years old, attributes 1t &c
the melancholy effects produced by the
murder of the brother of the deceased
Wesley Patton, by Jabez Boyd. The ed.
ltor SAYS: -"Tbe muiilated and disfgu.
red remains of Wesley hauHted his mag
ina,ion day and night, and gavehis youth
tul memory no rest. To use his own Ian
guage she could not cover Wesley up"
From the moment of beholding the sad
and narrowing spectacle presented in the
fiendish murder OF an affec.ionate brother,
deep and settled gloom took possession
OF his mind, which the constant care OF
those around MIN could not alleviate. He
was sen, TO school. in hopes that The
scenes of boysh fancy, and the min.
gled play of his young associates would
bring back the life and JOY to his eye, but
no, there was no rest, no respite from the
gloom around him. In the midst Of play,
and while reclting his lessons, the spec,a-
Gle was still before him, aud he would
burst out in uncomfortable grief, until the
heart sickened at his suffering.
His frame sunk under the oppression,
and sill the vision was there and when,
short tune before his death, maternal
care hung over and inquired his wants, II
was still Wesley" wesley is giving
me drink of water" was his reply.
Who can lathom the depths OF his suffer
ingsl But hey are now over;he has len this
earthly scene, and passed into the embrace
OF an otfectionatr brother, who stood upon
the bright shores of eternity, beckon,ng
him to scenes Of joys unnumbered,"
GIVING A PECULIAR FLAVOR TO MEAT.
"A little experience an fatlenlug or stat
eedn en,msls, Will demonstrate that al
most any particular flavor NAV be given
to meat, by feeding i, with different kinds
Of substances. K you falten beef on pun
kns, you give the flesh a sweet and JUICY
character, and the taIloN VIII have vel
low tinge. lifted upon apples, il will have
q Giiierent flavor, and the tallow be light
coored and melt easier. Indian corn gives
the talluw more soldIty, and white
color. IL you fed mich cows upon tur.
uips, you can taste them 10 the milk, aud
onions also viii give the mix their pecu.
liar taste. Sea fowls, that live upon FISH,
also have a peculiar fshy taste. Part.
ridges are sometimes rendered poisonous
by eating poison berries. There IS a
variety Of ducks, killed 10 the Chesap4ak Ike
Bay and vicinity, called "Canvasback"
ducks; which are famous for the peculiar
flavor of their flesh, which is caused by
the kind OF food which they get in those
waters. THIS food $ supposed to be the
wild celery. A Yankee. in recen,
Buffalo paper, recommends the manufac-
ture Of "Canvasback Ducks" out Of the
common domestic duck, by feeding them
with garden celery while fa,teniug.-
There is no sort of doubt that if this spe.
cies of food be given them for some weeks
before they are killed, they will have the
flavor Of it in their flesh, and perhaps be
equal to or better than the famous Can
vasbacks above alluded to. Ii is an ex-
pertinent very easily tried, and one which
will no doubt be both successful and prof
liable. Maine Farmer.

THE PAST.

FOX THE DEMOCRATs
THE PAST.
The past-the past-the hallowed past,
With good and evil faught,
Still mingles with the present in
The flowing stream Of thought;
Tho hope may spread her snowy wings
And make the future cling
The past sill yields delight.
The past-the past-the joyful past,
Yet sheds its gilded rays,
And on LIES cheered pathway filings,
The light Of other days
Thrice beautiful % us the jnyz.
OF past departed years,
Enwoven in the wreath Of time
With sorrows, hopes ond fears.
The past-the past-the mournfnl past,
Awakens in the heart,
An echo sweetly soft and sad
We woul dnot bid depart;
The tide Of time may wash away,
Or soften woe and grief
Yet on them memory loves to dwell
And finds a sad relief

JOY HNDGRIEF.

Joy is a smiling boy, who rOves
Midst aoWery meads aud scented groves,
Whose task is to be glad.
Griefis a pilgrim. worn and gray
Who tolls alone in LIES dark way,
Stated with al, and sad.
A few short years glide swiftly on,
The boyhOOd and the smile are gone
Joy vanishes away.
Grief on her victim seizes now,
And presses on the wrinkled brow
The signet Of her sway.
Meanwhile the pilgrim, worn and gray
Is swept BY Tines strong wave away
To heavens promised rest
Here ~ bis gloomy wanderings Ger,
With ioy be dwells for evemore,
A spirit with the blsst.

And sound my tiny horn
And off / fly to the mountain high
Ere breaks the golden morn;
But at eveI sally forth again
To tickle the sleepless ear;

Till the landlord goes to bed

HOWARD HIGH SCHOOL.

This institution is located in this place,
and is under the control of the Missouri
Annual Conference. WILLIAM T. LUCKY,
A. NJ, is the Principal, assisted by NATHAN
SCARRITT, Jun, A. B., in the male depart
ment, and Mrs. LUCKY, in the female de-
partment. The first annual Catalogue,
which is on our table, shows the number
of students 10 be S0-53 males and 81 fe-
males. The course of studies is full, and
can be pursued in whole or in part, at the
discretion Of the student.
An Examination and Exhibition of the
students of this institution took place on
Wednesday and Thursday of the present
week. Many of the patrons and large
number of spectators were present, and ii
affords us qualification to say that all were
well pleased with the result. A rigid ex-
animation was made, and the prompt res
ponses showed the students had been taught
to study and reflect in a deep and proper
manner. There was none of that superb
cial, snowy, mocklearning, "gotten up for
the OCCASION" too often exhibited under
similar circumstances. The object of the
teachers seems not to have been to see how
far they could advance their pupils, but
how well they could make them under
stand what they had travelled over.
At the close Of the examination, Rev.
WALTER PREscoTT, of Rocheport, deli
vered an interesting address on the subject
of Education.

A TRUE PIcTURE.-The Detroit Daily
Advertiser has the following political sum-
mary, which was calculated for the meri-
dian of Michigan, but will answer for al.
most every State in the Union:
We have got the funniest anti-bank party in
Michigan that the world ever saw. They char,
tered every bank that ever existed in the State
They passed the first suspension act ever enacted
here, and provided for the organization Of some
thirty or forty new banks with the privilege OF
not paying specie. They have had the official
supervision Of the banks, with a brief interval,
ever since the State government was established.
They have used and borrowed OF the banks, both
individually and as public officers, under all
their administrations. Their leading men are
presidents, directors, altornes and employees Of
banks, and yet the moment one Of them fails or
suspends they raise terrible out cry, proclaim
themselves genuine anti. bank men, and denounce
the wings like mad dogs. It was first rate
trick once, but it has been played little too Of
ten now. The people are beginning to under.
stand this stop thief cry of locOfoco laIcenerS,"

TENNESSEE ELECTION Nashville
Wing of Thursday says:
Although, at the moment of writing these
remarks, the result of the election for Gov
ernor may not be pronounced with abso-
lutte certainty, enough is known to satisfy
us that the Democratic candidate, Mr..
Brown, is elected. His majority will not
probably be greatly over or under two
thousand votes. For this result we were
not prepared. Up to the last moment of
the canvass we felt confident of success
This confidence was founded on a belief
that the wings were in a decided majority
in the State, and that they would turn
out" on the day of the election as generally
as their opponents. This they have not
done, and the day has gone against them,
in consequence. The entire vote of the
State will probably fall short of last year
by twenty thousand votes, or upwards
Our hope now is that we may carry the
Legislature, although that will be excee-
dinghy close.
Since the above was in type, the Yves.
tern District mail has been received, and
brings disastrous tidings for the whigs.-
The democrats have carried the State

A friend in the country, noticed very
singular contest few days since. A good
sized cat had caught little chipping bird.
and was rushing off with her prey, when a
king bird, attracted by the cries OF the bird,
came to the rescue, and gave loud alarm.
This was answered by whole swarm OF
king birds and swallows, who attacked the
cat with such ferosty that she was soon com.
PEELED TO drop her victim; but the feathered
avengers were not content with this. They
pursued the cat, continually peckng at her,
until she found shelter under barn, creep.
ing through crevice, where tornenters
did not venture to follow her.
