SUPPOSED MURDER IN AN ODD
FELLOWS LODGE.

Although the following fearful narration
is doubtless true, still we hope 1t VIII not
be made another Morgan affair TO the
preiudice of Odd FellowiSm generally, as
The institution we doubt not, is a most
charitable aud deserving one. We copy
the following from the Louisville Courier
Of the 9TH:
We learn from the Philadelphia Sun,
that on Monday morning lasta considerable
excitement prevailed in the nelghborhood
of Third and German street, Southwark,
owing to the fact that the body ola man,
supposed to have been murdered, was
discovered in the back cellar under the
aOdd Fellows Hail." II appears that a
person opened the cellar door for the pur-
poseof descending, and upon looking down
saw the lower extremities ofnn apparently
dead man sticking out from among some
old rubbish. The discoverer became
much alarmed, and was afraid TO 60 into
the cellar and communicated the alarming
intelligence TO others. The women hear
ing il, spread ON excitement over the vi
cinity in a short space Of time. As is
usual upon such occasions, various con.
lectures were INDUCED in-some supposed
that the poor fellow had been gored TO
death by the goat, while undergoing, the
very interesting process ofbeing maoe an
odd Fellow. This supposition was
gravely received by the female portion OF
ibe bystanders. AZ last the body was
brought up 10 light, and upon being disco
ted. proved 10 be only a man Of straw:
commonly known as a STUFFED Paddy
There is no telling bow it got there.

CALVES wrrH SHEEr.-We have often
recommended the keeping of claves with
sheep, as we have found it an excellent
plan, and highly approved of by others
who have tried it. In this way there is
less trouble, and the calves keep IN fine
condition upon the coarse part OF the fodder
which the sheep leave. In such cases
calves are never afflicted with vermln, and
if anv are on them before, they will soon
disappear after the calves are among the
sheep. Sheep are usually provided with
GOOD shelter in winter, and the calves Will
Seek the warmest part oft in cold Weather
This plan will not do for those who keep
sheep without water in winter, unless the
calves have extra attention in this respect.

SWINE RUNNING AT LARGE.

We know ofno practice more to be rep
rehended among farmers, than to let their
hogs run at large and congregate about
their doors when they are fed Here they
stir up deep mortar bed of mud with their
beastIy feet and shouts, and add to it the
droppings of their odious filth, and the
decaying heaps of corn CORDS from which
they have sheled their food, making the
approach to many farm houses dirty and
disgusting in the extreme. A pig ola fine
breed, clean, and in good condition, is like
other stock, pleasant sight enough when
kept in his proper place; but brought out
in bold relief near the house, ne is extreme
lydisgusting and filthy. BY letting hogs
run at large they are forever in mischief
and put the farmers TO much extra expense
in fencing; they CLEAN little abroad, ana
sadly waste their flesh in roaming; and
what is quite as important to many, they
also waste their manure. Keep them up
in pens or close-tenced fields, sufficiently
distant from the house TO prevent their
odor from reaching it, let the wind blow
MS it list. 1t is best to let swine run IN
orchards; here they are kept out OF harms
way, and thrive well on fruit.

BRILLIANT WHITEwAsn.-As the sea-
son has arrived when every consideration
of cleanesS and health prompts to the use
oflime upon buildings, fences, &c, weglve
the following recipe for preparing the eel
ebrated Stucco whitewaSh, used on the east
end of the Presidents house at Washing
ton; coloring may be so added as TO give
any desirable tinge TO the preparation:
"Take half bushe of nice, unslacked
lime, slack it with boiling water, covering
it during the process TO keep in the steam.
Strain the liquor through fine seive or
Strainer, and add TO it peck of clean salt,
previously Dissolved in warm water; three
pounds of ground rice, ground TO thin
paste and stirred and boiled hot; half a
pound ofpowdered Spanish whiting, and
pound ofclean glue, which has been pre-
viously dissolved by first soaking 1t wei,
and then hanging it over slow fire, IN a
small kittle, within a large one filled with
water. Add five gallons of hot water 10
the whole mixture; stir it we'll and let II
stand few days covered from the dirt.
1t should be put on quite hot; for this pur-
pose it can be kept in kettle on portable
furnace. 1t is said that about one pint oil
this mixture will cover square yard up
on the outside of house if properly Npplll-
ed. Brushes more or less small may be
used, according to the neatness OF the job
required. Il retains its brlllIancy Tor many
wears. There is nothing of the kind that
will compare with it either for inside Oh
outside wash"

CHEVY CHASE.

The old and popular ballad of Chevy Chase,
which we have given below, was thought worthy
Of critique in the Spectator, by Addison; see
sP9St Nos. 10 and "a. He says: The old song
Of Chevy Chase is the favorte ballad Of the cona-
mon people Of England, and Ben. Jonson used to
say he had rather have been the author oft than of
oil his works. Sir Philip Sidney in his discourse
of poetry, speaks of il in the following words: Il
never heard the old song of Percy and Douglas,
that found not my heart more moved than with
a trumpet; and yet it is sung by some blind crow
der with no rougher voice than rude style, which
being so evil apparclled in the dust and cobweb Of
that uncivil age, what would it work trimmed in
the gorgeous eloquence Of Pndarr For my own
part, am so pre- fessed an admirer of this anti
quated song, that shall give my reader critique
upon it, without any further apology for so doing,
Ia some editions Of the Spectator. the following
vote is added to the above paragraph: "Mr. Ad-
Olson was not aware that the old song SO much
admired by Sir Philip Sidney and Ben Jonson,
was not the same as that which he here SO .ele.
gantly criticises, and which in DR., Percys opin.
ion, cannot be older than the time of Elizabeth !;
and was probably written after the eulogium of
Sir Philip Sidney, or in consequence of it."
As this popular ballad is so nearly out of print
that copies are difficult 70 obtain, ii will DO Dew TO-
most of our readers; and as friend has furnish.

A wise man once remarked that che,
who caused two blades of grass to grow
where only one grew before, was a public
teBefactor." 1t may with equal ii not
greater propriety be observed, that he who
POUNDS, or actively participates in the ad-
vancement Of any moral Institution, the
object and tendency of which, is to in
crease tic sum Of human happiness, is, also
a public bencfactor. But especially will
tits remark apply TO those institutions, that
have for their OBJECT, the alienation of sur-
lIering and wretchcdness, consequent upon
the Indulgence Of our more depraYed appe-
tiles. Among the many institutions Of Abe
fday, of this class, the great Temperance re-

d@d institutions, it is to be regretted that
there is awant of that cohesive principle,
necessary to produce unity and continued
IperSeyering ~actipn. An institution has late
~, however, sprung up, which in a great

it at the same time possesses that cohesive
principle, Which ~imsurrs unity Of purpose

We were requestedla last week TO announce
Robert II. Allison a candidate for the Office
of Justice Of the Peace in and for the town
ship of Buffalo; and accordingly we drew up
his announcement and strung itupon our file
OF copy; but by some means it was after
wards overlooked. It was not omitted on
account of any cold feeling entertained by
us towards Mr.. Allison; on the contrary we
were much pleased that he had become a
candidate, and were anxious for his election.
We hope however that there is yet time
for the announcement to become generally
circulated. Mr.. Allison is a man whose
qualifications cannot be doubted; and it is
only necessary that it shouldbe known that.
he is a candidate in order to insure him a
good vote.
