BATHING SALOON.

JOHN CASWELL returns his thanks to the
citizens of Charlotte for the liberal patronage be-
slowed on his Bathing Saloon, and would respect
fully remind those who have not time to resort to
the Springs for health, that by availing themselves
of the opportunity of taking warm and cold
Baths, they may derive the same benefit they
would by travelling abroad at much greater ex-
pense. Those who have visited the Saloon ex-
press satisfaction at the facilities offered and
the prompt attention they receive.
Gentlemen invited to continue to pat
ronze this health-promotng establishment, as
every exertion will be made to give satisfaction.

"A Trumbull County correspondent
of the Ashlabula Sentinel, relates the
following of farmer in a neighbor-
ing county of Pennsylvania:
In Mercer Co., Pa, lives Mr.. Charles
Meiks, who owns q clay soil farm.
On that farm, last swimmer, he under
drained about eight acres after this
manner: The drains were dug par
allel with each other, twenty seven
feet apart, thirty inches deep, and
about twelve inches wide. Being un-
able to procure drain tiles. they cart.
cd sandstone TO the trenches, broken
to proper size, and filed in about
twelve inches, and wherever there
was a low spot, they cut a cross drain
After it was finished, il was sowed tc
white wheat, and the average yield
this harvest was forty-three bushels
per acre, and in weighing, overrar
two pounds and u half per bushel
Other farmers in the neighborhood
think they have very good crop i
they get twenty bushels per acre
while with many il does not exceeC
fifteen per acre. Thus you see Their,

of twenty-eight bushels per acre.

Many of our farmers are not able
TO avail themselves OF the use Of har-
vesting machines, from the fact that
their moving lands are, so full Of OBJ
structions in tho shape of snags,
bushes, stones, logs, otc., that NOW
ing machine cannot safely traverse
them. The same is also true OF
much wheat land that might other
wise be operated upon with reaper.
The manifest destiny Of labor in this
country is driving out farmers into
the use OF those labor saving imple-
monts, and they must get their farms
ready for them.
This Is not q good season for burn
ing stumps The weather has been
80 wet, that fires will not hang. But
we cannot say that we should bo

NYOh law,

Hardly have We recovered from the shoci;
OF Randals execution when we are aston
;shed to hear that the citizens of Louisa have
compelled Magistrate to give his voice in
favor of hanging criminal whom his vote
had acquitted Of murder in the first degree.
The criminal was a negro woman who had
murdered her mistress, Mrs. Hail, near
Gordonsville.) Before the crowd had mani
tested its humor, the Court announced that
it stood four for hanging and enc for trans
portation. The woman was, therefore. lc-
gally acquitted of murder in the first degree
and should have been punished by transpor-
tation. The crowd stormed, threatened the
woman with Lynching and the Magistrate
himself with yiolercc, and in q very short
time the sentence was changed, and the
people satisfied. We have been assured by
q credible witness, that there was ore gan-
tleman who spoke his mind to the mob, who
disregarded their treats, and nobly nd
manfully indicated the sanctity Of he law.
but all to no avail. This is really alarming
So long as the people only eiolate the Law
there is still some hopo-but when the law
itself is compelled to bend to be their tool,
the case wears more terrible aspect. Now,
cannot such disgraceful proceedings be
guarded against We, of Stanton, it is
true. have meyer had experience of mob rule
or felt its hardships, but it is useless to say
we therefore never will. The example has
been set at other places, and should an unfor-
tanate quarrel happen-should a popular
citizen meet his death BY hasty and un-
prcmeditated stroke from more obscure
hand. who would answer certainly for twen-
ty-four hours life to the survivor Of the fray.
The Militia should be called out when the
emergency requires it, but who will deny
t.at numbers ofthe Militia might IL ring
leaders ofthe mob. But suppose hody Of
men-say the whole or q part Of the Militia
we're aalcced Nnder oath 10 obey tAo lalgs-
might not the case be different Few are
the examples of policemen, soldiers, or any
officer under such oath being found among
riots. The oath would be all that is wanted,
and a comparatively small body Of citizens
under such obligations would be sufficient
TO put down almost any mob before it could
be fully collected or excited. No greater
number Of officers would be needed vho
would Cypress the people with taxes. We
already have Militia and arms for that Mi
litia Why not make them efficient Wi
ser heads than ours have suggested this
plan. Let the people consider it.
A short account of the riot in Louisa may
be found in another column.
