Shocking Murders,

On Friday night last, two children Of
Timothy O'Brien were murdered bv =
man named Kating, as it is supposed in
Washington township, Bergen Co., under
circumstances peculiarly revolving and
horrible. Kating came to this country =
few years since, and placed S15O dollars
in the hands of O'Brien, with whom he
lived, to be deposited in the Seamen's
Savings Bank, New York, for the benefit
of o 'Brien's children. Shortly after, Ka.
ting, who is about 55 years old, wished
to marry O'Brien's daughter, girl only
IL years old, urging as an inducement
the money he had given, which he threat
ened to withdraw unless his request was
complied with. O'Brien, of course refus-
ed, and offered to return the money, but
the matter apparently was amicably ar
ranged at the time. On Thursday Mrs.
. Brien went to New York on visit, and
OBrien having ON Friday gone to work
about mile distant, left Kating in charge
of the two children. Neither of the pa
rents returned on Friday, and the nei gh-
bors noticing that there was no light in
OBrien's house on Friday evening, were
astonished, and after knocking several
times, received no answer, when they sent
for 0 Brien. After he arrived they en-
tered, when horrible sight was presen-
ted. The little girl lay on the floor with
her head entirely severed from her body,
and on post-mortem examination it was
discovered that her person had been vio-
lated The boy, about 8 years old, was
found in some shrubbery near the house,
his head also cut off with an axe and sew
cral gashes being on his body. The Cor
oner's Jury gave verdict against Ka-
ting, and as he is well known, it is to be
hoped that he may be arrested Nctrark
AdrcJtiSer, Jan. 3d,
Ra% Since the above was in type, We
learn that Kating, the murderer, was ar
rested on Tuesday, in the woods near the
scene of the outrage. From his place Of
concealment he watched the funeral pro
ccssion of his mangled victims, which ex-
cited him so much that he made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to cut his throat, which at
the time of his discovery was mangled
and festered in shocking manner He
has acknowledged the committal of the
rape and murder; the girl Mary, aged II
years, he killed in the house with knife;
the boy Daniel, aged years, he deprived
of life with an axe, about $50 yards from
the house. 1t was the intention of the
murderer to kill o Brien, and short time
before, he went twice in one night to COM
NIT the deed, but found him awake and
retired.
1t is stated that Hating was impolled
to the act because as he alleges, he couldn't
get his money; but doubtless one of the
true causes was the desire to crafty an
unholy passion. 1t is thought that with
great care he will recover and be prepar-
ed to meet the punishment his fendish
crimes deserve. The rape is proven and
the murder acknowledged.-SHsser Re

Nor VERY BAD.-The Detroit Tribune tells
of a gentleman who was sitting at the table
of a very excellent lady who had stewed pears
on the table. He took up one of them, and
clapping it in his mouth pulled at the stem
to get it out and leave the pair in his mouth,
but it was no go. After twiching at it two
or three times, he gave it up in despair, and
dropping it upon his plate, remarked that the
STEM was put in tight. On examination,
however, he found the PEAR to be nothing
more nor less than MOUSE, which had un-
fortunately got drowned in the preserve Jar!

vident spirit, to be tripped up at the onset,
and thus admonished for the future
Better acquire the LESSONS of experience
early than when too late. And doubtless
there are many with whom the world has
gone wrong, who have suffered bysickness,
by treachery, by overzeal or by misfor-
tune, during the years which has just
passhd away. They feel gloom upon
their spirits. They are depressed, care
worn, and inclined to despair. But this
is not the policy, either of manhood or
philosophy. They should take fresh
courage, rally their energies, and TRY A
GAIN! Fortunes are readily made here,
and as readily lost. 1t requires, we are
aware, a stout heart to battle against con-
tinued adversely; and yet any other poll
cy is fatal. There are others again who
have been eminently prosperous. The
world has gone we'll with them Every
thing they have touched has turned to
gold. Their duty, under the circumstances,
is gratitude to God, and liberality towards
their fellow creatures. The commence
ment of New Year should be brighten
cd by some generous and manly act-by
timely assistance to some friend or neigh
Dor who has been less fortunate. The
individual who proves himself insensible
to the favors of Providence, who, as he
increases in wealth, becomes more sordid
and selfish, not only violates the noblest
principles of our nature-but invites by
his own conduct some retributive change
for the worse. And now, gentle reader,
the compliments of the season! May In
tegrity and Truth and Contentment and
Prosperity wait upon your footsteps
guard, guide and protect you! May your
progress be upward and onward, not only
in worldly but in moral and intellect
uall sense. "Bright be the skies above
you, and green the paths before! "And
when at last earth's devious joruney over,
may you realize to the fullest extent the
inspiring hope and consoling faith of the
wise, the virtuous and the good! Once
more, the compliments of the season-and
a HAPPY NEW YEAR

Domestic Duane.

Recently there has much been written
in regard to the Lobos guano question,
which has no small stir among the impor-
ters, venders and consumers of this i'm
portant manure, in England and thiscoun-
try. The annual removal Of organic mat
ter, contained in the productions of the
field, dairy, and stalls Of the rural dis
triets Of our country, will, no doubt, in
process Of time, obiige every thrifty farm
er to use imported mansse, containing
those ingredints ESPECIALLY which shall be
wanting in his soil, for the production of
remqnerative crops. The cheapness at
which these foreign manures, of good
quality, can be afforded in the American
market, will be subject of great interest
to the agricultural producer, in all parts
Of our country.
Yet every American farmer should be
constantly impressed with the vast inter-
ests connected with bis profession in sa-
wing and making all the fertilizing mat
ter at home, on his own premises, he pos
sibly can, thereby saving his money, to
be otherwise expended in improvements,
increasing the productiveness of his lands
and thus putting within his reach, at a
small outlay, the means of rendering them
more and more fertile, as every succeed
ing crop is gathered into his garner.
The object of this article is to recommend
mend to the American farmer, the man
ufacture of domestic guano, from the
droppings Of his barn-yard fowls. Let
him have erected suitable hen-houSe,
and then insist that every old rooster,
hen and chicken on his premises, shall
make it their resting-place for the night
at least under the penalty Of death, after
a suitable time of training has been ex-
pended on them in vain. At the close of
every week, cause these premises to be
thoroughly swept, and the products thus
obtained, to be carefully packed away in
barrels or tight boxes, mixed with about
one-third its weight of plaster.
Whenyou have your corn-ground ready
for planting in the spring, on the day you
intend to put in your crop, not before,
have box in readiness, sufficiently large
to hold two or three barrels, and mix
well with this domestic guano, about dou-
bic the quantity Of wood-ashes, peck of
pulverized charcoal, and four quarts of
salt to the barrel
Take small handful of this mixture
and drop it into each hill, busted it over
with the soil, from one-half to an inch in
depth, then drop your seed and cover as
usual, and if your ground is able to per-
feet the crop in the latter part of the sea-
son, you will find a rich reward in the
day of harvest.

bushels the past year, an found it superb

part of the field where this mixture was
applied, will more than furnish the re-
quired stock fora years food for my fowls.
