General Haynam's Corpse.-A most ex-
traordinary account has reached us in pri-
vate letter from Vienna to high parsonage
here, and has been the talk of our salons for
the last few days. 1t appears that the cir
cumstances of the death of Gen. Haynau pre-
scented phenomenon of the most awful kind
on record. For many days after death the
warmth of life yet fingered in the right arm
and left leg of the corpse which remained
limp and moist, even bleeding slightly when
pricked. No delusion, Notwithstanding,
could be maintained as to the reality of death,
for the other parts of the body were complete
ly mortified, and interment became necessary
before the two limbs above mentioned had
become stiff or cold. The writer of the let
ter mentioned that this strange circumstance
has produced the greatest awe in the minds
of those who witnessed it,and that the emperor
has been so impressed with it that his physi-
clans had strictly forbidden the subject to be
alluded to in his presence Paris corresposa-
dent Of the 1ads.

Singular Marriage Dundee Record
notices singular marriage which took place
at Weston, Steuben Co., n. Y. on the 2lst
ult The parties were John 7. Emerson and
Mary Jane Bennett. The Record says
"The bridegroom is about "a years of age,
a brother of Mrs. Hoover, carrying on an
extensive business as a tailoress at Weston.
He has been at sea some ten or twelve years
past and after an absence of about five years,
had just called up to seehis sister. Finding
that she had in her employ some sixteen or
seventeen young women learning the trade,
he strolled into the room in free and easy
manner and told the girls that if there was
any one who wanted to marry him right OF,
to say the word. The bride above named
forthwith dropped her work and declared
herself ready for the nuptials. Within an
hour the parties were spliced A jolly we'd
ding took place, and the next day he left his
charming bride for a voyage on the brny
ocean.

LARGE FOWLS.

Last spring procured from DR.. Freeman
of Schoolcraft, Mich, several fowls of mixed
breeds. The cock sent with this lot, was
Cochin and Chittagong (Malay,) half-and.
halt. He is now eighteen months old and
am told by the gentleman who now has him
that he weighs about II lbs. Owing to his
rapid growth, and extreme clumsiness, only
about one third of the eggs set brought forth
chicks. A cock chick six months old, from
this cock and Shanghai pullet, were weigh.
ed a few days since, and drew lbs. strong
He had lived by his own industry through
the winter, with sometimes the help of one
feed a day. Some half. bloods from large
common hens, from four to five lbs. at the
same yge.
A half blood Shanghai pullet was cooked
and served up at five months old, Welding
the best chicken flesh that we ever had the
pleasure of eating, and in quantity Of meat
exceeded the common largest hen at two years
old.
Last fall, having friend i'll, who was in
the habit of eating an egg in the morning,
we sent him three or four eggs from Shan
haze pullet. He declared that there was as
much difference between the flavor of these
and the common eggs, as between the choic-
est and rankest varieties of fish. We after
wards INDUCED in soft boiled Shanghai egg,
and we did not draw upon our imagination in
coming to the same conclusion.
Last spring, we obtained of DR.. Freeman,
one dozen Shanghae eggs, from which foui
chicks were obtained. The eggs having trav-
eled $50 miles, left but whole eggs, owing
to the scarcity of bran, in which they were
packed. These four chicks 1.-TWO of each sex)
were far more hardy than any common or
half bloods in the same yard. The cocks
parted with, exchanging one for cock of
of different importation, to breed to these,
and other pullets. The pullets at niue months
old, weighed, one seven and three-quarters
and the other eight pounds.
Last spring friend of mine in an adjoin-
ing County, procured avery fine pair of Roy
al Cochins from the principal breeder near
Cincinnati. These were chicks at the time
of the April chicken show in that city, and
for size were considered large among the lar
gest. These were obtained at cost of $I8.
Last October | procured pair of chicks bred
from the above pair, which are now six and
one one half months old, the cock chick
weighs four and half lbs. They have run
with and had the same feed of the Shanghaes
first named.
We state these facts for the benefit Of our
friends of the "Ohio Farmer" to put them
on their guard. We advise them to be eau
tious in sending off for chicks or eggs, and
be sure that they get from a stock that has
been weU kept up by crossing A stock

Imposing upon the Neat World-The
Circular proffers the following suggestion
with regard to the hanging question:
There is one serious objection to Capital
Punishment that we have never seen present
ed, and that is query of this kind-what
business has this world to rid itself OF NUS
ances at the expense of some other worlds
We complain of the old countries for sending
the scum of their population here, and make
it law in this country that every town shall
support its own paupers; and is it not then
a scurvy transaction to ship bad men to for
eign shores in the unknown world. If hang
ing were humiliation, it might be justitiable
Oh the principle of sacrificing the less to the
greater; but if it only turns the man loose
somewhere else, we should find out first wheth'
err he is wanted where he is sent. 1t is pos
sble, at least, that he is forced on society that
have no more relish for him than those who
see fit to expel him. We should have too
much regard for this possibility to vote for
capital punishment

The most delightful and healthy em2loy-
ment for ladies, is the culture of flowers
The general superintendent of garden is
is always found favorable to health by lead
ing to frequent exercise in the open air, and
that communing with nature which is equal
ly refreshing to the heart. The tending of
flowers has ever appeared a fitting care for
the young and beautiful. They then dwell,
as it were, among their own emblems, and
many voice of wisdom breaths on the ear
from those sweet blossoms to which they owe
portion to the dew and the sunheams.--

If you are fond of the horrible, read this
phase of Boston life:
A young woman named Susan Moran,
with pretty infant at her breast was brought
in and convicted of being common drunk
ard. Police Officer Shute last evening en-
tered the cellar on Ann street in which she
lives, and the scene which he witnessed was
revolving. The young woman lay upon the
floor dead drunk, and almost covered with
blood, which had issued from her wrist which
she had badly cut by thrusting it through
pane of glass in a fit of drunkenness. Tho
infant lay upon her barred breast sucking her
mothers blood, with which the child itself
was also smeared. The court sentenced the
woman to two months Imprisonment in the
House of Industry. ua1

NUMBER XLVII.


The railroads and steam travel are doing
great deal to bind the States of our Union
together indissolubly, and to commingle and
make into one harmonious whole all the ele-
ments of our nationality, no one for a mo-
ment doubts. They stir up and mingle the
people of distant sections, as chemistry stirs
up and mingles and coalesces various substan-
ces IN its correctional action; removing sec
tional prejudces and antipathies, by bringing
into frequent contact those who entertain them,
whereby their groundlessness is made recip-
rocally evident People who mingle much
cannot help becoming continually more and
more similar in sentiment and feeling The
friendship of two persons will result in the
friendship of two families and the friendship
of two families will frequently result in the
friendship of two neighborhoods. 1t is the
nature of all gregarious animals to become
attached to each other by frequent meetings.
This we witness daily among herds and hoeks
and nearly all domestic animals. And those
who are not gregarious, and even those of diff
terent species, like the dog and the cat, will
become reconciled to each other and some
times affectionate, by habitual companion
ship. Man being gregarious in his nature,
will never fail to form an attachment for his
fellow man, by frequent meetings; because,
however different two people may be in sem
timent, on some subjects, they will be sure to
find some chord of sympathy between them,
if circumstances bring them frequently toge-
ther.-Bufalo Republic.

1doance IN the Price Of Beef Cattle.-
A very material advance in the prices of beef
cattle has recently taken place in this mar
ket, referable, we find, on inquiry not so
much to growing scarcity in those sec
tons of the country whence come our sup
plies, nor to an increasing consumption at
home, but to the springing up of new and
inviting markets elsewhere Let us explain
The graziers in Northern Illinois region,
who have heretofore been among the most
extensive contributors to the great cattle mar
kets o. New York, Philidel phia, Baltimore
and Boston, we are told, now drive their
herds across the plains to supply the demand
which invites them to California 1t is
long and weary Journey to our vision it is
true, but the pasturage is good all the way,
and when the droyers arrive at their destina-
ton, prices are realized which the markets on
the Atlantic saaboard never could afford to
pay. We are also assured that the cattle
dealers of Ohio are turning their attention in
the same direction, and instances have even
come to our knowledge of large droves hav-
ing been recalled from their journey to New
York to be sent across the plains. Hence
just now the comparative scarcity of cattle in
this market, which produces in turn the high
prices asked for beef at wholesale-say from
8 to l0RR cents per pound. AT these rates
the retail consumer must be content with Is
and Is cents, or thereabouts. Beef is thus
becoming a luxury which only the rich man
is able to enioy.-N T. Express.

Splendid Passenger Cars.-The Michi-
igan Central Railroad Company have just put
on their road twenty-five first rate passenger
cars which have been built in their own
workshops, and under the superintendent of
experienced builders Each of these are go
feet long, and constructed not only with refer
ence to their elegant appearance, but with a
due regard for strength, durability and con-
venience ofpassengers. Each car is intend
ed to hold ~ passengers, and the seats IN
each are the same width as those in the cars
of the New York and Erie r. R., which is a
six feet track; the passage way running be-
tween the rows of seats is little narrower,
and this is the only difference. Each seat will
conveniently hold two persons of the largest
size without crowding, and a moderately siz-
ed couple can allow a little child offve or six
years of age to sit between them; or two la
dies in the most fashionable dresses might oc-
cupy the same seat without fear of disaran-
ging the folds in each others skirts.-These
cars are supported on trucks of the most APP
proved construction for ease, the manner in
which they are placed on them giving the
body the same easy motion that the traveller
perceives in one of Putnaln's thousand dollar
carriages. The trucks run on six wheels each
of the best manufacture. All these cars are
provided with fountains to supply passengers
with iced water.-Dctro1 -AdUertiser.

ESQ sterling now amounts to $55,2so 55,
Franklin estimated that it would reach $751;,
GAO in one hundred years; but owing to los
ses it will reach about 100000. One pro-
vision of the bill was that when the fund
should amount to $5Sl,64O, halfof that sum
should be appropriated to some public work,
which should be judged to be of the most ge-
neral utility to the inhabitants of Boston,
The loans are now hardly applied for at

sited in the Massachusetts, Hospital Life In

a pious though very eccentric minister who
resided in the same town. 1t happened one
of the boys was bitten by a rattlesnake and
was expected to die, when the minister was
sent for in great haste. On his arrival he
found the young man very penitent and anx-
ious to be prayed with. The minister, cal
ling on the family, kneeled down and prayed
in this wise" o Lord we thank thee for
rattlesnakes; we thank thee because rattle
snake has bit Jim. We pray thee send a
rattlesnake to bite John; send one to bite Bill
send one to bite Sam; and, o Lord, send the
biggest kind of a rattlesnake to bite the old
man, for nothing but rattlesnakes will ever
bring the Beaver family to repentance"
