A WOman's Privileges.

We cannot imagine why the women
should hold conventions with view to OBJ
tain greater privileges than they now enjoy.
What would the dear creatures have: \
woman can say what she pleases to you
without the risk of being knocked down,
hOrsewhlpped or challenged. She can go
to all the places Of amusement without pay
ing cent She is waited upon with the
utmost obsequiousness by the ''lords Of the
creation" who doff their beavers to her in
token of homage, and kneel at her feet
(some,imes) to sue for her love. She can
run up bills at the dry goods store, the mil
liners and the jewellers, which her hus-
band (unless he has previously advertised
her, a la Lawrence.) must pay. She can
take pleasant snooZe after dinner, while
her husband is hard at work. She can 90
OUT and spin street yarns when the weather
is fine, without the fear of being asked eth
er to drink or treat. She can paint her face
if too pale, or lilly -,ohite ifit be too red
She can stay at home in war time, aud mar
ry again if her husband gets his quietus in
battle. She can screw herself up if too
thick, and pad if too thin. Surely with all
these privileges she aught not to insist upon
wearing The what-d' 'ye-call-'ems.

A Dog Story.

My father had a dog whose memoirs
ought to be written. ! have often asked
him to put upon paper the leading incidents
in the life of Fidelity, Chat was the dogs
hane,) but as he has always declined,
shall record few facts, and they may pro-
woke q more complete biography. My pri.
vate opinion is, that the life of good dog
is better than that Of bad man. The Pc
culiar feature Of the dogs character was
his regard for religious places, religious men
and religious meetings. He was punctual
in his attendance upon family worship, new
er being out of hearing when the household
was assembled. He attended the weekly
meeting in the village, "hich were held from
house to house, notice being given of the
place Of meeting on the Sabbath. He never
mistook the evening, or the hour. or the
house. Nor did he depend Oh watching the
family TO follow them TO the place Of prayer
Frequently no was shut in room to pre-
vent his attendance, aud he would dash
through pane Of glass and be at the righ,
house before those who shut him ur. He
was confined in an clubhouse that had no
floor; he dug n hole under the sill, md
reached the meeting before the second byrn
was flushed. On the Sabbath he was reg
uIar attendant at church, and always occu-
pied the square step at the head Of the pul
pit stairs; if there was the least disturbance
among the dogs he would rise and frewa

discovered near this house, with the horses
attached to it feeding on the clover. This
circumstance excited suspicion some one
was stealing fruit or corn from the preIns-
es, the team was taken in charge, and upon
further seach marks of blood was discover
ed; these were traced to the corn field, the
corn-stalks being dabbled with blood, until,
the body was discovered, lying on the back,
his arms extended and legs crossed. A fright
ful cash was found on the neck, about five
or six inches long, extending from behind
the ear diagonal!y across the neck, and open
10 the bone. He had evidently been struck
by the assassin and had fled, leaving, as he
went, the traces of blood above described,
and bad fallen when exhausted, on his face:
the impression of which was discovered in
the ground; he had then been turned over,
SO as to enable any one to rifle his pockets
IL is not known that he had any amount of
money which could have induced so foul a
murder. the whole affair is shrouded in
mystery.
We have known the young man for a
number of years; he was a worthy and in
dustrious man. He leaves wife and one
child to mourn bis untimeiy end That a
farmer, returning to his home, should be
thus basely murdered on a public highway,
will startle every citizen, and add another
fact to the already frighlful mass of teslimo-
ny as to the little value set on human life.

Facinating a Bull.

1t is said that bulls are very fond of mu-
sic, and that man can fiddle his way from
one end of the field to the another without
danger, provided he keeps up Jolly tune
A couple Of lrishmen, this spring, were
hired OH farm in Westchester county, and
were so much annoyed by a bull, on their
way to work, that they had to take some
thing Of a circuit around the field where the
animal was kept.
ssBe jabers!" says Pat, one morning,
"I've got it, Phalim, dear; We chate the
bull, and cross his field"
''And how will you do it, Patr'
"Mighty aisy; I'lI take along my fiddle,
and facinate the haste. I'll give him Garry
Owen, and 81. Patricks Day in the Morn
ing. Won't he be frisky;"
Pat was as good as his word. OFF both
started TO work, and reached the dreadful
field. Phalini's courage began to ooze out
little; so he got behind the stone fence,
while Pat gailantly entered the field. The
bull was feeding at some distance, and Pat
began TO play. The creature raised his
head, listened for moment, and then with
a wild roar made for Pat.
In vain did Pat change the tune. 1t was
of no use; and the bull was within a few
feet Of him when he took to his heels. 1t
was too late, however, and Pat fonnd him
self stretched out all sprawling in the top of
an apple tree, the thick branches of which
sustained him IN mid air. On bough near
him hung the fiddle. Fortunately Pat had
received 40 injury save few scratches.
Phalim slowly raised his head, and looked

Another Murder.

Another horrible crime has been commit.
ted near this place. Mr.. Stewart NJ. Butt,
of Knox county, son of one of the Oldest
and most respectable farmers of Knox co.
was murdered on Saturday tight or Sunday
morning, on the farm of Mr. Slough, about
six miles from Peoria, on the road leading
to Knoxville. MIR. Butt had been to Wash
ington, Tazewell county, for load of ap-
pies, and was seen on Saturday evening, be-
tween and O'Clock, between Mr.. Works
and Mr.. Clark's, which is about one mile
and half this side where the murder must
have taken place. He had probably stayed
all night, or was making his arrangements
so to do, at a house on MIR. Slough's prem
ises that had been occupied by Mr.. Nj
chols, who it appears had run away on the
night previous. The house was therefore
tenantless on Saturday evening. On Sum-
day morning The wagon of Mr.. Butt was
