not exceeding twelve dollars per acre,
for a State farm, to be titled by the re.
f~ractory juveniles of the State, who IAN
not be controlled at home, or, who have
been guilty of petty offences that would
otherwise be punishable by inprison-
ment in the county jail. and even in some
eases in the penilentiary. This system
of government is to approach that of the
best family discipline, and, strange as it
may appear, the escapes from such insti-
t~utiOns. where they are properly con-
Quoted, are not SO frequent rs from our
State penitentiary, where muskets and
reyolvers, bolts. and bars, locks and
walls are not sufficient to confne all who
are sent there. The great secret of this
was explained by the principal of a well
regulated Reform School, who was told
by a visitor, that he thought the boys
would ran away if they were not locked
up ct nights; his reply a ''that it was
much safer to hold the key of their hearts
than of their cells" But I do not wish
to weary your readers on this subject at
at this lime, but nay revert to it in some
future letter.
A bill has been introduced in the Sen
ate. to "protect the State Treasury"
whether it will really do it. remains 10
be seen, aud in the meantime, il any one
doubts the necessity of such a law, let
him carefully read the report Of the three
investigating committees who were ap-
pointed last winter, 10 examine the con-
dition Of the Finances, State Buildings,
and Public Works, and If he is not then
convinced. nothing that 1 can say will
convince him.
A bill passed the Senate on Wednes-
day allowing county officers TO collect
fees due them after their terms of Office
have expired, which will undoubtedly
pass the House, which, 1 think, is about
all the change that will be made in the
law Of last winter, that relates TO the
compensation of county officers.
a bill passed the House. n day this
week. permitting county Commissioners
to expend any sum not exceeding ten
thousand dollars. for bridge purposes,
without first submitting it to a vote of
the people. An attempt vas made to
extend the provision to include public
buildings, but it failed. More anon.

Recovery of a Stolen Horse.

Last fall the Rev. Mr.. Sharp, of indie
p~endence, had a valuable horse worth
5000 stolen from him. It was a very
mean trick to perpetrate upon that good
man. He reported to officer Gallagher
OF the Police, who Immediately instilu-
ted a search. He went TO Pennsylvania
and taking the owner Of the horse with
him. finally brought up in that nest of
criminals, Iiell's Hollow, in Mercer Co.
There the horse was found in the hands
of a man By the name of John Keister
and claimed. So intimidated was he by
a ruse perpsirated by the Officer. who
charged him with counlerfeiting, that he
not only gave up the animal, but threw
in a new saddle, and even offered to
surrender a bogus press, which he con
fessed TO having somewhere 10 the noun.

glad to recover the horse to allow them
selves the pleasure of diving deeper into
the everglades of hat wild region than
the recesses q Hell's Hollow, and came
off with the long lost favorite horse

The Tariff Bill-Wool.

The Tariff Bill, introduced by Mr..
Campbell of this State. has passed the
House Of Representatives. and probably
will pass the Senate. and become a law.
The following provision relating to wool
has more of interest to the citizens Of
ths State than any other clause of the
bill.
Sleeps Wool-m snufactured of the
4valHe at The port Of importation Of ff-
teen cents per pound or less, and Of the
value of fifty cents per pound or over,
and hair Of the alpaca, the goat, and
other Ike animals, manufactured free:
Provided, that any wool, or hair of al
paca, the goat, and other like animals,
-which shall be imported in any other
than the ordinary condition, as now and
heretofore praciiced, or which shall be
changed in its character for the purpose
of evading the duty. or which shall be
cleansed or purified, or assorted so as 10
raise its value at the port Of importation
10 fifty cents per pound or over. or
which shall be reduced in value by the
Rdmixture of dirt, or any foreign sub
Stances, to fifteen cents per pound or
less, shall be subject to pay a duty of
thirty per centum. anything in this act
80 tie contrary notwithstanding.
Heretofore fraud has been practiced
at the New York Custom House, By
mixing dirt with the wool, cleansing it
afterwards, and selling it at a high rate.
This practice. the amendment of Mr..
Morrill,. which is incorporated IN the
bill, seeks TO prevent.
There are many other articles on
which dulles are now lSvied, which will,
under this bill, be admitted free
among these are coffee and tea, impor-
ted direct from the country where they
are raised; raw silk. dye woods. copper
ore, raw hides. paintings. statutes. &C.,
dc.
The Chairman of ;he Ways and Means
Committee calculates that the bill will
ysduce the revenue six millions of dol
lars directly by the rate of du-y IN the
raw materials, and four millions indirect
ly by its effects upon the amount Of the
importation of the manufactured articles
which this encouragement to home COM
petition viii discourage.

apology by Mr.. Slough for the

bush, was the subject of a new species
of happening n day last week. In
the course of a frolic, a young lady
p~layfully struck at him with a crochet
needle having an ivory handle, and
armed with a small barb. Unfortunate
ly, the miniature harpoon took effect; the
barb fixing itself firmly in the under lip
of the young man. Our young friend
placed himself before a mirror, and en-
deayored to exIricate the tenacious
needle; but, after several vain attempts,
he was obliged to seek a physician, who
made an i~ncision in his lip. and soon re-
lieved the young gentleman from his
awkward dilemma. He will, no doubt
in the future, keep a respectful distance
from crochet needles.--7Toy Times.

his wife Commenced using the medicine, her system
was so entirely Frustrated by the number OF spasms
she had undergone. as to reduce her weight to leo lbs.
Since she has BEEN taking the pills, she has entirely
got over the spasus and has gained in weight and bod
lily health. She now weighs at leas: 200 lbs, and de-
cares she is in better enjoyment Of health than ever
before in her life. Mr.. Beadle also related the ease of
Mr.. Harrison LightfOot Of the same town. who has been
entirely cured OF the worst form Of Epilepsy by these
same pills. Mr.. Lightfoots case was 50 bad thai he
never passed a week without having an attack. often
falling down in the street. lie has not had an attack
fOr more than a year. Mr.. Beadle thinks that il the
pills ever fail in curing a case. 1t is for the want OF
proper perseverance on the part of the person in tax

case of his wife, that IL they are taken for q sufficient
length OF time, they will cure any case. Sent to any
