Escape of o'Donohoe the Irish Exile.

The rumor of the escape Of Patrick O'Donohoe,
one of the political Irish exiles, who, with o.
Brien and Meagher, was sentenced to death, and
mans Land, is confirmed by the news received
in Ireland. .
The Dublin papers have the following in ref
erence to ODonohoes escape:
"Amongst our files of Australian papers that
come to hand is the Sidney Freeman's Journal
of Th ,rsday, January Ii, from the Melbourne
correspondents letter of which we extract the
following gratifying announcement:

The body of Arthur Spring was taken to the
Dissecting Room of the Philadelphia College OF
Medicine, on Saturday morning, and anatomical
ly examined d by Professor Jas. McClintock in
the presence of DR.. Kirkbride, DIR. Evans, and
several physicians and other scientific ge entlemen
and the students of the Medical College
The Professor, before proceeding to dissect
the body, read letter from Arthur Spring Jr,
giving his consent to the post mortem examin-
alton. Young Spring said in the letter that he
had no objection to such an examination of the
body of the deceased as the interests ofscience
might render desirable.
The chronological developments of the head
of the murderer, were characteristic of the
man. The head was large, being over22 inches
in circumference. The perceptive faculties were
and other organs, which are the indications of a
good disposition, were found to be very poorly
developed, while selfishness and frmness were
large, and cautiousness was well developed
Secretiveness was large, and the animal organs
such as combativeness and destr uctiveness. were
enormous. The base of the brain was very
large. The forepart of the head, was very small,
and the back very large, indicating sensuality
and cruelty. The Professor styled the Uranium,
of the deceased s'bull dog head"
There was but little in the appearance of the
brain to indicate that the deceased had died from
any violence to the head or neck. The brain was
very slightly congested, and there were no signs
whatever of extraversation. There was nothing
in fact unusual in the appearance of the brain.
Nothing to indicate hanging.
The dissection of the neck disclosed different
condition of things. The muscles were found to
be much congested, and there was great ex-
travasation of blood. The windpipe was found
to be disrupted in front, having been bursted by
the action of the cord This results unparalleled,
so far as the knowledge of the demonstration
extended. This was probably the cause of the
instantaneous death of the culprit.

Inhuman Conduct.

On Friday last, little daughter of Rev. d. ].
Yerkes, while playing in front of the house, in
Gaysport, was decoyed away, and taken TO the
privy of the Public School House where it was
stripped, and beaten in the most shameful man
ner with a thorn bush and piece of hoop, the
marks Of both of which were plainly visible on
the child's back. She was found wandering na-
ked about the streets by a neighbor, who took
her home, and it was found that she SO
much injured that physician had to be called
in. The author or authors of the outrage are
unknown nor can it be surmised what actuated
the perpetrator in the commission of so foul a
crime. The child is not yet two years old! We
do not know that in the course. of a long news
paper experience we were ever called upon to
record an event showing such entire depravity
of the human heart. We can scarcely conceive
what punishment should be meted out to one
who would beat poor, innocent little babe al
most to death, without cause or provocation. -

Sheep in Southern Ohio.

AS our country is so well adapted to
sheep, it is somewhat singular that our
farmers do not engage more extensively
in the business. Probably the fear of the
dogs has prevented it. Capt. Devacht,
one of the most extensive sheep growers
in our county. informs US that he now has
living and doing well 1o5 lambs. the pro-
duct Of 100 ewes. He has spared no
trouble and expense in improving the breed
OF his sheep, and has persevered against
the ravages of the dogs under circum-
stances that would have discouraged most
men. A large number of his sheep are
of common stock, but if the dogs will lie,
them alone for few years he will have
none but the most valuable breeds and
crosses. He has disposed of his present
clip at prices averaging over SO cts. per
ID. We would suggest to our farmers to
call and see the Captains sheep, and it
they wish to engage in the sheep trade and
are afraid of the dogs. if they will call on
US we will furnish them with the receipt for
bolus that will prevent dogs from killing
sheep or anything else.-Gal7ia Courier

the formation of dew. Every person must
have observed that more dew falls on a
mellow surface than on hard one, and
the soil beneath remains moist much long,
or during a severe drouth. EU I
2. 1t enriches the soil, and thereby in
creases the growth of the crop. This is
done by allowing the rains to descend into
the soil, as above stated, and thereby the
ammonia which summer rains always con-
tain, is absorbed and made available to
the roots of plants, instead of being car.
ried off into ponds and streams. The
power of clayey and loamy soils to absorb
ammonia is one of the most valuable dis.
coveries which chemical science has made
for agriculture. We shall speak of this
more fully at another time. (See also our
article on draining, in last years volume
of the Ohio Cultivator p. 369.)
8. The nutritiue elements in the soil
are rendered more available, by the ad-
mission Of air, as we'll as moisture to the
roots Of plants. Much Of the food OF
plants, like carbon, is either absorbed by
the roots in gaseous form, or is rendered
soluble by the action Of gases by fermen-
taton, in which atmospheric air is a me-
cessary agent; hence it is found that ma
nures are comparatively Of but little ad-
vantage in wet clayey soils where the air
has not free access, and it is measurably
the same in dry soils when the surface be-
comes baked and hard.
a. The Destruction of Weeds. We
should not deem it necessary to speak o
this. did we not find some farmers still
holding to the mistaken notion that weed:

that every weed acts as a suction pump
drawing moisture from beneath the sur
face, and sending it off by evaporation inte

the soil-then the advantage of their des
truction by frequent hoeing, &C., we thinl
must be obvious.

Arrest of Gen. St. Arnaud,

The following statement is translated
from a confidential letter received from
Paris. by the last steamer. AS matter
of course. the occurrence is not alluded
to in the French journals. We give it as
communicated, making all due allowance
for possible exaggeration, though the
need such allowance:
''l ought to tell you that the General
Marshall of France. ST. Arnaud, Minister
of War, was arrested last evening by order
Of the Emperor, for the following reasons:
Gen. Cornemeus, aide-de-camp OF the EN-
peror, found himself in the cabinet of his
Majesty with General St. Arnaud. A sum
of four hundred thousand francs was there
and the Emperor entering his cabinet.
asked for his money, which he destined
for the marriage portion of the daughter
of General st. Arnaud.
General Cornemeus searched every
where, but was unable to find more than
two hundred thousand francs. whereupon
he said to General St. Arnaud, You and
only have been here, and it is only your.
self who could have takenit.' Finding tha
he could not deny the charge, .Arnaud in.
stantly drew his sword and killed Genera
Cornemeusc; the latter having merely the
time to make a Engagement, piercing the
arm of st. Arnaud. This scene passed
under the eyes of the Emperor, and SO sud
denly; that he had no time to prevent the
two blows. The matter is hushed up, bu
you may rely upon the facts, as | have
them from source beyond all doubt. St
Arnaud, you are aware, is the Genera
