Mr.. BRowN:-Whenever my Favorite
journal, the Ohio Farmer, makes its well
come appearance, promise myself before
it goes again to the press, the pleasure OF
contributing my mite; but alas, there are so
many things to hinder housekeeper and
mother from using the pen as often as she
does the broom and needle, especially is
ones taste runs in as many directions as
mine does; and besides be 30 naughty as to
overstep the bounds Of the so much talked
of "woman's sphere" win the way of break
ing and traing horses of high mettle, which
is real fun provided lady has one o! Lacy
& Phillips (PhiladeIphia) side saddles
These saddles by the way surpass any 9TH
er in comfort, ease, safety and elegance,
and for all these good qualities we have moi
to psy as much, or at least no more then
for saddle destitute of all these excellen.
cies. am also guilty of sundry other
things which are horrible to think of for q
lady to do; as moving several acres oi
grass with machine, going TO the mill to
have the golden grain converted into flour
and when our horses need shoeing and my
husband isabsent from home on business,
stand by the smith to see that the shoes are
not burnt on the hoof, and-but no, won
tell you any more, Of my hndrances, fol
fear you call me perfect tom.boy, but
will proceed to my business of giving the
Ohio girls a receipt to put up fruit and to-
motoea by cheaper method and quite as re-
liable as the self-sealing cans, which are
very nice, but rather erpenstus, $4 per doz

The Rev. Mr.. CuTan, methodist clergy
man, AZ Jacksonville Indiana, has written
a letter to Governor Wright, from which we
make the following extract. 1853 ISL. i,7
"The scenes in Louisville on bloody Mon
day have never been fully portrayed. From
my chamber window on that dreadful night.
| witnessed the confagration iofthe German
dwellings, heard the screams of the women
and children, the rattle of firearms, and the
'shrieks Of the wounded and dying; and, Oh
God, forbid should ever witness such a
sight again, even at such distancej the re-
collection sickens me, and fills my dreams
with fearful images. And for these atroci-
ties portion of the prctessed religious press
of the country finds an apology. The Wes-
tern Christian Advocate of the following
week gave the Know Nothing version of the
whole, throwing the blame upon the poor
foreigners, without uttering one word of CEN
sure against their brutal murderers; and the
editor himself an Irishman! Has he sold
himself to the enemies of his countrymen!
How else can we account for his editorial
course! as.t =. =. e.
"There was once Judas, and an Arnold,
shocking instances Of perfidy and iniquity,
which we had hoped would never find par
allel; there may, however, turn up another
traitor.
at is now manifest that the war upon the
Catholics is only an incident in this great
movement; it is wrung in to catch the fanat:
ic. That portion of the city of Louisville
where the greatest slaughter of men and wo:
men and destruction ofproperty took place
contained no Catholics; but they were Dem
otrats. They were Industrious and peacea-
Bile citizens, contributing to the productive
wealth of the city and country, paying their
taxes without a murmur, and sustaining the
laws.
"He. was merely passing from one place
to another, when the mob met, seized aht
inflicted deadly blows upon him, while he
was pleading for his life. And Know Moth.
ing ministers and editors stand forth as theil
advocates and apologistsj and If one man
raises his voice, or writes a line to procla i'm
the truth, these clerical bullies mount him
and deal him deadly blows"
