EFFEcr OF VIOLENT PoLITIcAL AGITA-

political agitation in the Territory has SO
absorbed the attention of the squatters
that they have neglected their crops and

means that large portion of them will
bo unable to pay for their land before it
will be offered for sale under the procla-

SUFFERING FOR HIS LOVE OF FREE
DoM.-Some little time since DR.. A.
Brooke, of Marlboro, Stark county, went
to North Carolina for the purpose of OBJ
tanning slave girl named Skeen,whose fam
lily resides at the first named place. The Gus
tody of the girl was secured. While pro-
ceeding northward, upon arriving at Rich
mond, Va, the parties were detained
The girl was taken to slave pen, and
thinking she was to be sold, told the story.
DR.. Brooke was at once taken before the
Police Court of that city, but before a
trial was had, he was enabled to start for
home, being of course obliged TO leave the
object of his mission in Richmond.
A few days since proceedings were COM
menced in the U. s. Court, at Cleveland,
10 get possession of his person designing
no doubt, to take him if possible to North
Carolina by requisition, where hanging
is the penalty of the laws the DR.. is claim
ed to have offended. Could the cause re-
ceive any benefit from the surrender OF hls
person or life, DIR. Brooke would have met
his fate, whatever it might have been, but
not deeming this necessary, or demanded
by common good, he is for the present
spending some time in Canada, where the
power of slave hunting and blood hounds
cannot reach him.-Ravenna Dem.

Correct Speaking.

We advise all the young people to ac-
quire in early life the habit of using good
language, both in speaking aud in writing,
to abandon as early as possible any use of
slang words and phrases. The longer they
live the more difficult the acquision of such
language will be; and if the golden age Of
youth, the proper season for the acquisi-
ton Of language be passed in its abuse the
unfortunate victim of neglected education
is very probably doomed to slang for life.
Money is not necessary TO procure this ed
ucation. Every man has it in his power
He has merely to use the language which
he reads. instead of the slang which he
hears; to form his taste from the best
speakers and poets of the country; to hab-
iluate himself to their use-avoiding at
the same time that pedantic precision and
and bombast which show rather the weak
ness of vain ambition, that the polish an
an educated mind.

he was, however, attacked with the worst
symptoms of the disorder; and in his agony
exclaimed-"Alas! alas! who could have
betrayed my sex!"

The Original Morgan Horse.

Massachusetts has done many good things
among which is giving to Vermont the
credit, and the world the benefit, cf the
celebrated Morgan horse. Near the close
of the last century, singing master, by the
name of Justin Morgan, lived in Chi
copee, street, West Springfield. The place
where this man lived has been pointed out
to the writer by one who knew him, and
remembered his celebrated horse. Mr.. j.
Morgan had few acres of land and usually
kept one or two horses. He cultivated
bic farm during the summer, and taught
music in his own and the neighboring
towns during the winter. In the spring OF
1898, lie raised colt which has given eel
ebrity to his name. Mr.. Morgan has a
passion for good horses, and this colt, while
he remained in West Springfield, was more
fully appreciated by his owner than bis fel-
low townsmen. In those days, $50 was
considered great price Ior horse, and it
is believed that this horse could have been
bought for about that sum.
Fortune frowned ON Mr.. Morgan, and,
SelZlDg IL viii tue sPHtl vi ou' Y, "oou'
the year 1898, he migrated with his fami-
ly aud horse to the wiIds of Randolph, VT,
Here he lived few years, and died poor.
Neither he nor his family, realized profit
from this horse. Such was the foundation
of breed which has given both wealth
and character to New England. In this
case is forcibly illustrated the influence of
an ordinary action. Justin Morgan might
or might not have been conscious of the
results, when sixty-five years ago he raised
that famous colt. The act was simple in
itself, but the consequences are momentous.
An impetus was then given to branch of
industry whose power is not yet fully felt.
Wherever the horse is known, there shall
the name of Justin Morgan be repeated
The Morgan horse is destined to give rs
much celebrity TO New England as the barb
of the desert to Arabia. AS farm and
family horse, the morgan" is uneqdalled.
Docility, hardihood, endurance, compact
ness and surefootedness are his invariable
properties.-Springfeld Republican.

~ A good joke is told upon Bill Eng.
lish, the famous auhtor of the English Dill,
which was in this wise:
1t will be remembered that his portrait
was published in Harper's Weekly, some
time since. A lot of the papers were sent
home to English's father, and the old man
presented copy to an illiterate, hard.
headed old Democrat, jocularly remarked
that there was the picture of the President.
The old fellow scanned the picture careful
" for several minutes, and then, with his
eyes still rivited upon it, and with an ener-
gy of utterance that showed conclusively
that his remarks were the result of thorough
conviction, he said-"I don't like that
countenance. Mr.. English, as sure as
there's God in heaven, that man WiU
steal" OF course the hopeful father faint
ed away.

WHAT CAN BE DONE ON One ACRE
OF GRoUND.-The editor of the Maine
Cultivator published few days ago, his
Management of one acre of ground, from
which is gathered the following result:
One third of an acre thirty bushels of
round corn for grinding, besides some re-
fuse. This quality was sufficient for fami-
ly use and for fattening one large or two
small hogs. From the same bed of six
rods square he usually obtained about six
ty bushels Of onions: these he sold at one
dollar per bushel, and with the amount
purchased his -four Thus from one third
of an acre and his onion bed, he obtained
his bread stuffs. The rest of the ground
appropriated TO the use Of vegetables tor
summer and winter use-potatoes, beets,
parsnips, cabbage, green corn, peas beans
cucumbers, melons, squashes, DC, with
fifty or sixty bushels of beets and carrots
for winter food for COW. Then he had a
flower garden also raspberrles, curran'S anu
gooseberries, in great variety, and a lew ,
Choice apple, pear, plum, cherry peach anu

The Monkey and the Hawk.

The cook of French nobleman, whose
cbateu was in the south of France, had a
monkey, which was allowed the free range
of the kitchen, and which was so intelligent
that by pretty severe training its natural
propensity TO mischief had been subdued,
and it was even taught TO perform certain
useful services, such as picking fowls, for
instance, at which it was uneomonly expert.
One fine morning pair of partridges was
given it to pluck. The monkey took them
to an open window Of the kitchen, which
looked directly upon the park, and went to
work with great diligence. He soon fin
ished one, which he laid on the outer ledge
of the window, and then went quietly on
with the other. A hawk, which had been
watching his proceedings from a neighbor-
ing tree, darted down upon the plucked
partridge, and in minnie was up in the
tree again, greedily devouring his prey.
The CONSERVATION of the monkey at this
untoward adventure may be easily imagin-
ed. He knew he should be severely whip
ped for losing it. He hoped about in
great distress for some minutes, when sud-
denly bright thought struck him. Seiz-
ing the remaining partridde, be went to
work with great energy, and stripped off
the feathers. He then laid it on the ledge
Just where LIE had placed the other, and
closing one of the shutters, concealed him
self behind it. The hawk, which by this
time had finished his meal, very soon swoop-
ed down upon the partridge, but hardly
had his claw touched the bird, when the
monkey sprang upon him from behind the
shutter. The hawks head was instantly
wrung, and the monkey, with a triumph
ant cbuckle, proceeded to strip off the feath-
ers. This done, he carried the two picked
fowls to his master with confident and
self.satisied air, which seemed to say,
"Here are two birds, sir; just what you
gave me-" What the cook said, on find
ing one of the partridges converted into a
hawk, is more than we are able to tell.

VALUE OF CLOVER HAY.-H. Capron.
of Illinois, who has been largely concerned
in the diary business, (having sold 10000
worth of milk in single year, informs the
Country Gentlemen that he made accurate
experiments to test the comparative value
of timothy and clover hay. These expert
ments, extending through period of two
years, were accomanied with accurate
weighing and measuring, and the food was
changed, timothy to clover and pica rcrsa,
once a month, and the results were that
the cldver hay yielded ten per cent. more
milk, than the timothy.
