farmers who shall be familiar with the
principles of chemistry as applied. to
agriculture; architects and mechanics
who will adorn her with edifces worthy

want can only be supplied by the. es-
tablishment Of a school Of applied, sci

in recommending that a University

practical scientific or polytechnic
school,"

Mr.. EDIroR:--When hogs are sold

en- Rule to give them all the corn and
milk they can eat and drink just before
they are driven upon the scales? % 70

who buys his tobacco at the bar of the
tavern, buys anything else that has q
tendency to make him so loquacious?
How long viii it be before we can
dispense with our rocery-keepers and
set them to something that win benefit
the human family? By the way, /
understand that the ladies of Brook
vile have politely invited those linen
to quit business; I hope they viii ac-
cept the invitation: if they do not, Che
petitioners viii find some way to sc-
complish what they so earnestly de-
sire, and cheerful acquiescence is
better than forced obedience. / hope
that the war will be conducted with an

Ladies, don't give any quarter, except
upon unconditional surrender, and a
treaty not to engage in that unholy-

tress?

JOHN JOHNSON,
Prosecuting Atty of Clermont Co.
Ia. a prosecution under this act
cannot be commenced in tho Probate
Court. 1t must be commenced be-
fore Justice Of the Peace or Mayor.
But no strict conformity between the
information and the original complaint
is necessary. If the the charge is
substantially the same in both, there
is no room to quash the information
on the ground of varience. The prop
or rule opon this point has already
been stated at this term, in Gates and
Goodno v. The State.
Ml tel record is not a proper re-
plication to the plea of former convic-
ton prescribed in the Probate Code.
For there is no profsn Of a record in
the plea. The proper replication is
general denial of the allegations of
the plea: and the issue thus made up
is to be tried by the jury impanneled
in the cause.
