lLLNELs OF Hon. JOHN M. CLAYrON-Mr.
Clayton, we understand from the Reporter,
has been confined to his room, at the residence
of Mr.. Comegys, in Dover, for two or three
weeks past. Of the particular nature of his
complaint we have not been informed, but his
physicians think it doubtful whether he will
ever entirely recover. On Saturday last, he
joined the Presbyterian church, and took the
sacrament, in his apartment, at Mr.. Comegys'.

Corn Cutting by MoonshIne: Riot and
Bl0odshed.

Mr.. E@itOr "A most disgraceful scene of
riot and dissipation took place on the farm OF
DR.. Huey, in Appoquinimink hundred, on FRI
day night last. Nat. Farson, the overseer of
Huey, had corn aud fodder-cutting 10 make
up, suppose, for lost tme), and gave a gene
raj invite, as is customary with woodchoppers,
WhiSkey Supper, or, in other words, much
whlSkcy as tney could drink. A goodly num-
Der Of rowdies collected, aud after the whiskey
commenced operating, a general fight and mob
took place, aided on, as is said, by Farson.-
Wilmer Wright got very badly injured, and
Mike Sweeney, an Irish lad. got his head Sc.
verely cut. Elias Brown, isha Ford, Johr
Peppermint and Loadwater, Dutchman, were
the principal actors. Such a scene of disgrace
and riot, and dissipation, has not been acted il
this neighborhood for years. AS this busines
will be handed into the grand jury ofthis coun
ty, it is to be hoped that the truth will be fer
reted out, and the perpetrators punished as tn
! law directs. M.

IMPORTING VEGETABLEs.-It is not great
many years since Connecticut used to sup
ply the West India Islands with onions and
other kinds of vegetables; but now the tide
has turned, and stream of vegetable is
pouring in upon us from the West Indies and
other parts of the world. We are certainly
getting TO be great eaters. With the finest
soil and the best kind of climate in the world
for all kinds of vegetable productions, we are
importing from foreign countries the articles
that ought to be produced in our own gar
dens. Bermuda supplies us with early pota-
toes and tomatoes; and it seems that the
British Provinces at the east of us are sup
plying us with eggs, which are now impor-
ted duty free under the reciprocity treaty.
Twelve hundred and sixty dozen of Nova
Scotia eggs were entered at the custom house
in Boston one day recently. We import
enormous quantities Of dried Rrunes from
France, kind of fruit that grows abundant
ly in all of our eastern and middle states we
import figs from Smyrna, which might as
well be grown in North Carolina grapes
from Spain. which can be raised in Virginia ;
nuts from Madeira, which may be raised in
New York and olives, which might be pro-
duced in neaaly all the southern states. AS
for eggs, the value of which is so much great
er when they can be warranted fresh. we
should hardly think it could be profitable to
import them from abroad. Peaches we are
able to raise in as great quantities as we can
consume; but we shall not be surprised next
to hear of cargo of this delicious fruit be-
ing imported from some neighboring country.
Potatoe are brought to us from France, Ger
many and England, and cargo of turnips
was lately brought to us from Scotland. 1t
is about time that we had begun to develop
our agricultural resources Times.

Republican Platform.

Below we give entire the republican "plat-
form" 1t is authentic and more complete
than as reported by telegraph. 1t is mod
el of brevity. Direct and comprehensive,
there is no prolixity to befog-no cunning
vagueness of expression to mislead, no two
pronged hook on which to hang a double
meaning:
We do declare to the people of the United
States, as objects for which we unite in po-
liticsl action:
L. That we demand and shall attempt 10
secure the repeal of all laws which allow the
introduction of slavery into the territories
once consecrated to freedom; and will resist
by every constitutional means the existence
of slavery in any of the territories of the
United States.
2. We will support by every lawful means
our brethren in Kansas in their constitution
al and manly resistance to the usurped autho-
rity of their lawless invaders; and will give
the full weight of our political power in ia
vor of the immediate admission of Kansas
to the Union as free, sovereign and indie
pendent state.
3. Believing that the present national adj
ministration has shown itself to b. weak and
faithless, and that its continuance in pow
er is identified with the progress Of the slave
power, to national supremacy, with the ex-
clusion of freedom from the territories and
with unCeasing civil discord-it is leading
purpose OF our organization to oppose and
overthrow it.

SALT FOR MLcH Cows-When COWS in
milk are kept on green, succulent food they
require a regular and liberal supply of salt.
So also, when cattle are first turned to pas
ture in the spring, they require sailing more
frequently than in the latter part Of the sea-
son, when the herbage is less succulent and
fresh. 1t is often the case ,hat animals taken
from dry food, and supplied exclusively with
green fermentable herbage, are greatly debil-
itated by scours. Salt in due quantity is
certain preventive of this malady.

MURDER-PosT MoRTEM EXAMINATION
Last evening about l | o'clock a young man
named G. Dickson was most brutally muir
dered at the house of Auguste Pffefenburg,
on Erie street near Elm. After receiving the
wounds he ran several rods before falling.
He was found lying upon his face before Dr..
Tympany's house. His body was conveyed
to the Mayors office, where Drs Morris and
Forbes held post mortem examination with
the following result.
The ounds found were, one upon the right
hip, going downward to the bone, and an
other on the left side of the back, entering
between the ninth and tenth ribs, piercing
the lower lobe of the left lung and upper part
perior lobe of the right lung, dividing the
cartliges Of the third and fourth ribs of the
right side, and making its way through the
skin little above, and on the inner side of
the right breast. The wound through the
heart was through the base of both auricles.
The keeper OF the house-Aguste Pffefen-
burg and two others-one woman-were ar
rested by Sheriff Springer, charged with the
crime.
The murdered man, we learn, was trying
to get into the grocery of Pffefenburg, but
finding that resistance would be made, he, in
company with another man, turned to leave,
when he was pursued and stabbed from be-
hind. Several shots were fired at the retreat
ing parties, but without effect.
Dickson is said to have been steady,.a
hard working young man, and by his death
his aged mother is deprived of her only
means of support.
The parties arrested are all Germans, and
bear bad name. They kept one of the worst
beer houses in town. Toledo B. March 3D..

Boiling salt water is hotter than fresh, be-
cause it will not boil until it has been heated
to 2l9 or 220 degrees whereas fresh water
boils at 2l2 degrees. Therefore boiling salt
water will cook whatever is put into it quick
er than would boiling fresh water.

COW some four or five quarts day, regular
ly, and never had one give so much or so rci;

where they will keep, and may be used as
wanted by pouring water upon Them

VERY PRoBABLE.-An interior California
paper furnishes the following instances OF
California fecundity: ga poor woman in
the Sacramento Valley procured thirty five
hens and two roosters about the first of last
March. From that stock she has supported
a large family of children by the sale of eggs,
besides raising taUenty-one hundred chickens
Ifany one doubts this statement, the woman
and the children will be procured to bear evil
dence. Oar informant also mentions the fact
that gentleman in the valley started in the
sheep-raising business last spring, with one
eve and one ram, and that now his flock num-
