Feeding Of Stock ON Rusted
Oats

As many may think that rusted oats
will produce disease in stoce feeding upon
them, we give the following from cor
respondent in the West Tennessee Whig
on this subject. Our readers should OBJ
serve the effect of all kinds of injured or
diseased food ON their cattle, hogs, sheep,
or horses:
"For the last several days l have been
pasturiug about fifty head of hogs (large
and small,) cows, and horses upon my oat
field and none of them, as yet, show that
they have been made sick, but on the con-
trary, all are thriving. The green oats Of
any season will kill hogs, if allowed to re-
main long at time in the field. My
opinion is that it is as safe TO pasture
them now us it was last year, and am
sustained in it by the experience of ten
days trial by my neghbor, Mr., James W.
Carothers, whose judgment is not surpass-
ed by any one in the county as regards
farming and stock raising"

A Quaker Joke.

K, the Quaker President of a Penh-
sylvania railroad, during the confusion and
panic last fall, called upoti the Va
with which the road had kept large reg
ular account, and asked for an extension of
a part of its paper falling due in few days.
The Bank President declined rather alb
ruptly, saying, in tone common with that
fraternityi
"Mr. K, your paper mast be paid at ma
turity. We cannot renep 1t"
"Veny WE'LL" odr Quaker replied, and
left the bank. But be did not let the
matter drop here. On leaving the bank
he walked quietly to the depot and tele-
graphed all the agents and conductors on
the road to reject the bills on the W
Bank. In few hours the trains began TO
arrive, full Of the panic, and bringing the
news of the distrust of the Stockholders
and depositors flocked into the bank, max
ing the panic, inquiring, "What's the mat
ter? Is the bank broke?' A little inqui-
ry by the officers showed that the trouble
originated in the rejection of the bills by
the railroad. The President seized his hat
and rushed down to the Quaker's Office,
and came bustling in with the inquiry.
"Mr. K, have you directed the refusal
of our currency by your agents?'
"Yes," was the quiet reply.
"Why is this? 1t will ruin us"
'Well,friend l., Supposed thy bank
was about to fail, as thee could not renew
little paper for us this morning"
1t is needless to say, Mr.. L. renewed
all the Quaker's paper and enlarged his line
of discount, while the magic wires carried
all along the road, to every agent, the seda-
tive message: "The W-Bank is all
right. Thee may take its currency"

FIRST RESPONSE
Il 4TNS4 1AG1OA O@S
To the English Lecompton Juggle!


We briefly noticed last week the rout OF
the Irish democracy in Philadelphia
The Old line Wings, Americans, Republi-
cans, and Anti -Lecompton Democrats had
united upon the following City Ticket:
Mayor-Alexander Henry.
Solicitor-Henry T. King.
Comptroller-George w. Hufty.
Receiver of Taxes-A l. Flomerfelt.
Commissioner-E. r. Williams.
This ticket-forgetting all past foolish
bickerings-they just went to work and
elected by 1000 majority, carrying II out
of the "a Wards The Daily News says
the result-upon the heels of the three
days old English bill-created livelier
thrill of JOY than any event in the history
of the City since the news of the surren-
der of CORVALLIS at Yorktown. Forney
glories over it as an anti -Lecompton victo-
ry and warning to Buchanan. The "Ledg-
er" says:
AS soon as the election became known, a
procession was formed in the Fourteenth
Ward and, headed by a band, they pro
ceeded to Third street, and serenaded the
newspaper offices. At the Office of the
North American, Mr.. McMichael, on be,
ing called for, congratulated the gathering
on the signal victory gained. Itwould, he
said, strike terror into the hearts of those
assembled at Washington, and in 1860 he
hoped they would erect their banners in
the White House, with the inscription
9" To American Labor" applause. ,
This consummation could only be effected by
a continuance of the present union.
Charles Gilpin also addressed the mul
titude; after which, the line of march was
again taken up for Mr.. Henry's residence
Pine street, above Fifteenth, when Mr.
Henry appeared and thanked them for the
honor they had conferred on him by electing
him to the Chief Magistracy of the city,
and he hoped, with the help of God, to
faithfully discharge the duties they had i'm
posed upon him. In regard to the elec-
ton, he considered it more than mere
municipal contest; it was contest which
showed conclusively to those in Washing
ton that the rights Of freemea, couH not be
noaded with impunity.
Henry T. King, II. 7. Conrad and vii
liam b. Mann also addressed the assem-
blage.

knife and carpenters saw, and after much
trouble succeeded in getting them sufnclent-
ly sharp to perform his bloody work. A1ter
cutting the body up he procured common
yhiskev barrel, put the limbs in, after
burning such parts of her clothing as had
blood snots on them, and headed 1T up.
On turning the barrel over he saw water
and blood coming out from the bung hole.
He took it out and threw in quantity OF
four to staunch it, puttied up all the cracks
and painted it all over.
Early in the morning of the 10th OF
March, after keeping the body ten days In
his room, he met drayman on Clark street
bridge. and asked him to take the barrel to
the depot. The drayman consented, and
went up to his room. He proceeded to roll
it down stairs Jumpertz, fearful that the
barrel might burst, requested him to carry
it down stairs, but he. refused, and rolled it
down the way he had commenced, the body
rattling against the sides of the barrel, all
the way down, filing him with dread and
apprehension, lest the drayman should dis
cover his secret. The body was finally got
to the depot and shipped to New York that
morning.
Thus ends for the present, this tale of
blood and horror. The greater part of it
is his own version, taken from his own lips.
Whether he is guilty of the terrible crime
of murder, the Courts will determine, and
it is not for us to say, but his own story
shows him to be thoroughly vitiated and
hard hearted man.

THE UsURY LAW.

The Assembly of this State, on the day
before its adjournment, passed finally the
bill relative to the rates Of interest 1t
goes into operation from and after the 4th
of July next, and establishes the rate at 6
per cent. per annum, where no express con-
tract is made to the contrary. Where a
higher rate than 6 per cent. is agreed on,
the aid of law is withheld from the lender
for the collection of the excess or usury
but where the usury is paid by the borrow
er, the aid of the law is likewise withheld
from him for the recovery of it back, un-
less suit for the same is commenced within
six months. In cases where usury is Ia
ken in advance, the borrower has a right
to deduct and withhold the amount paid
above 8 per cent. in the payment Of the
principal. The real object Of this law is
to facilitate usurious or Illegal interest on
money loans, although its apparent design
Is to check it. 1t repeals those portions Of
the old law that forbid the taking of more
than 9 per cent, and indirectly legalizes
contracts or " "shaves" for the use Of mon
ey at any rate Of interest the parties NAV
agree upon.
