A KNOWING COW.

A few weeks agoa cow belonging TO one of
our citizens, was purchased by gentleman who
owns saw mills at the north, for the purpose of
carrying her to Pensuckie, place some 25 miles
Forth of Green Bay. The old COW with her
calf was accordingly driven down the pier, and
hosted into the hold of the vessel, which was
about 10 feet deep, and while on the passage, she
never saw sun, stars, clouds or trees. And after
a few days sail, was landed at Pensuckie with
hcr. infant calf.
Judge then, if you can, of the surprise of the
gentleman who formerly owned the COW, who
upon rising from his bed one morning last week
found the old Muly lowing at his door.
| Now we should like to know by what means
! that COW found her way back
She could not have known the road, fer she
went in the hold Of vessel by water
And tits known by those acquainted, that there
is no road from Pensuckic to Green Bay; on
the contrary there is a marsh all the way, on the
west side Of Green Bay, extending some 10 miles
from the shore.
! Surprising however, she must have first made
for the highlands; how did she then know what
course to pursue What is still more strange,
She came away and left her calfthere.
We know that the horse, dog and hog, and
some other animals, had an instinct powerful
enough to guide them to their long frequented
haunts.
But how Mully should know enough TO lay
her course through wide forests, and over deep
rivers, and have disposition to leave her young
for her old home, argues a greater amount of
inhabtivness than philoprogenitiveness, and
shows that her skull is worthy of place in the

THE CROPS.

1t gives US no small satisfaction to be able to
chronicle the promising appearance of the crops.
From flying visit in the country the other
day, we derived great deal of pleasure in look
ing upon the ripened and we'll loaded fields of
winter grain which was waving its heavy tops
from II to 10 inches above the fences. The
winter wheat will be ready to cut with little
sunny weather in a week or ten days
The grass crop is very heavy, and is waiting
for the scythes OF the reaper
We have often wondered why the farmers in
this country did not turn their attention to the
raising of tame grass, for feed for their CATTLE and
the market. There is no crop that is surer, or
pays better for the amour. of labor bestowed
upon it than the grass crop.
We saw small patch the other day, that was
groanng under the weight of from two and a
half, to three tons to the acre.
Some farmers have INDUCED the shadowy no.
ton that grass could not be raised profitably in
this state. There is no more ridiculous notion
afoat. We have heard some men say, and we
guess they believe it, that sod could not be
loFul9d on ground that had been used for wheat
out of which the grass could grow, and by which
the roots could he protected from the winters
frosts If our views are not correct on this point,
we should be glad to be set Alright by any man
who has had experience enough in the business
to know anything about it.
We, shall be glad to receive communications
from any OF our friends in the country who can
shed light, or give experience on any of these
matters, which are of SO much importance to the
farming community.

The Mursl cr In milwaukee,

The verdict of the Coroner's jury after set
ting five days in investigating the manner of
Gullen's death, was:
"That the said Cullen came to his death on the
morning of Monday, the 10th of June inst. in
the Third Ward of the city of Milwaukee. in the
county of Milwaukee, by and in consequence of
wounds inflicted on the head of the said Cullen,
with billet of wood, coffee pct, and other
weapons Of description unknown, by the hands
of Patrick Mcdonald, end Bridget Mcdonald
his wife, James Connaughton, and others I'M
known"
We would like to have the advocates of CAP
ital punishment tell Us how much the fear of the
gallows restrain men from numbering at the
present time?
1t does seem as though the experiment of the
abolition of the death penalty, might be tired
with safety, whilst the number of murders is so
great and increasing under the neck-stretching
penalty.
1t appears there are in the Jail and States Pris-
an of the U. s., at the present time, from fifty
to seventy individuals under the sentence of
death. We do not believe tina. the number will
be increased, even if the gallows shall be abol-
ished.
