Before getting to Cincinnati, "McAuley" left
the cabin and hid down on the deck; afterreach-
ing the city it was found that he lived there,
and was known as William McAuley-had been
to California, as Captain McLain learned from
the man who came back with him. lie is con-

We are glad to know, as we do frum this, that

Recollection OF senator Hale.

The Hon. JOHN P. Hale has been reelected
to the United States Senate. There was q
great amount of intriguing among the pOlit,-
clans of New Hampshire to defeat him, but his
position was imPregnable. The New York
Post well remarks:
The main significance of Mr.. Hale's re-elee-
ton is the recognition it gives to the principle
of retaining those officers whose public course
has proved eminently acceptable TO their con-
stituents. BY . psEYsrsiOn of the doctrine Of
tom Of the Northern States to dismiss their ser

enabled them to discharge then duties with the

The New Orleans papers down to the 9Th are
filled with the details of the Revolution, the
substance of which was given from day to day
by telegraph. The Delta of the 9Th, thus speaks
of Fort Vigilance and the men who garrisoned
it:
No one can look into Fort Vigilance even for
the moment of a casual glance, without the
conviction that its garrison are men acting un-
der the stern, moral sense that they arc engaged
in the determined discharge OF conscientious
duty. The narrow bourjs occupied by twelve
hundred men, unaceustomed TO the novelty of
such circumstances, are still as church. No lest
or laughter is heard, and the only sounds which
disturb the quiet Of the camp are the tramp Of
armed men, and the voices Of the officers Civ
ing the drill commands to the companies they
are constantly exercising in the use Of these
arms Old gray-haired men-gentlemen of
wealth and standing in the community-may be
seen standing quietly up to wearisOme sentinel
duty, or going through the drill alongside Of
their younger eOmpatriOts-yOung gentlemen
many of them, of the first families Of the ciy.
line Of bayOnets CLEANS above every barri-
eade, and srtillerymen stand at the pieces,
which command all approaches to the camp
Their position may be considered imprsgnable,
for one-tenth Of the men with which it is gar
risoned could defend it against any force which
could be brought against it, such is tho dispo
stion of the buildings which leave the streets
and alleys, so that an annihilating eross-fire
would sweep down all enemies advancina.-
Twelve hundred men hold the place, and at the
alarm signal two thousand more would rush to
duty, and pour through the streets of the city
to the rendezvous in concentrating masses, each
member armed with the fearful yVranons Of a.
sassins-howie knife and reyolver-which the
doings Of assassins have forced into the hands
OF honest men for self defence Old Hickory,
in bronze, the glorious standard Of the patriotic
Vigilants, -ides rampant over their camp, and
with barred blade waves them on t1 the dis
charge Of their duty, to be administered with
as unyielding steadiness as characterised the
Hero OF oh9lmette in life, and firmly as his
statue stands among them.

Wearing Lambs.

At four months old lambs ought TO be
thrifty, vigorous, and in good condition.
If their dams have had good pasturage
since weaving; and about this time, or
soon after, according to the time they
were dropped, they should be weaned.
10 effect this in the best way, shut up
the tlock-ewes and lambs-in a close
yard or stable; catch the lambs carefully
and separate them from the ewes.
Then, after the ewes are driven away,
put the lambs into a well fenced field,
with plenty of fresh grass Ga rowen lot
is besD out of sight and hearing OF
their dams; for if they can get near
them there will be continual bIeating
on both sides, and days will intervene
before either lamb or eve will get quiet
and go to feeding. Besides their dis
content they will lose flesh, which it
will be hard TO recover.
II the lambs be still intended for the
butcher, they should have meal or 9TH
er fattening food, till taken away alto
gethcr. If to be reared, grass is suf-
ficient for them-only have enough OF
it, with plenty of Grand an occasion
al lick of salt. After fortnight or
three weeks if necessary, they may be
turned with ewes, but it is better that
they be not mixed at all until the next
Spring, as they require more nutritious
food and closer attention.
lambs, if not attended toat shearing
time, are apt to get ticky. If SO when
weaned they should be immersed up to
the eyes in strong decoction of tobac-
co water. Tobacco stems stepped are
as good as the leaf itself Have the de-
coction in tub, and each lamb put in
by Itself, and the liquid we'll squeezed
into and out of the wool, as taken out.
This will kill every insect in it ctfsctu
ally. Such is our method.--Americd
Agricnltwist.

almost incredible. In Ireland there
once prevailed, II custom of "ploughing

was Iashed 70 the tail of the horse, and
as no harness was employed, two men

AN ARrTuL DoDoER.---A late English
paper relates that ono evening younr
man had just fitted on pair of boots
In n shoe store, when rough LOOKING
fellow stepped in and struck him blow
upon the head.
-'Wo'd you stand that said tho custo.
mer to the storckeeper, who by the way
is known to BIO fond OF sport.
"That wouldn't he replied.
The young man thus encouraged,
started after his assailant and he must
still be in full chase, as neither hc nor
the boots have since been recognized in
Nottingham. Ii Is needless TO say that
he now boots worc not paid for, and n
pair Of old onos were lell behind.
