A Father Kills the Seduccr of hi,
Child.

The Vicksburg "Sun," of the 25th ult.,
gives full particulars of the killing of DR..
Mitchell, by Parker Williams, near Lake
Bolivar:
"As soon as Mr. Williams was made
aware that his daughter had been ruined
by DR.. Mitchell, his family ply sician-a
man in whom he had ever placed the most
implicit confidence, and for whom he had
ever entertained the profoundcst esteem
and respect-he felt that he was an out
ragged man-that he could have borne all
the ills that HEAVIER could iuflict upon
him, in any shape but that. Indignati on
tion that it was the man whom he ence
cherished as friend, that had stabbed his
peace of mind, and covered his anne with
infamy, served to intensity his resentment
and give keener pain to his anguish. He
became desperate. Then it was he made
up his mind to avenge his daughter s
honor. The cup of his Indignation WAS
full to overfowing. He sent for the au-
thor of his woes, DR.. Mitchell, who i'm
mediately repaired 10 the house upon which
he had brought such misery, and as he
was on the point of extending his hand to
Mr.. Williams, the father of the unfortu-
nate victim of the seduccr's arts, the latter
Mr.. Williams) pulled out his pistol and
shot him dead. DR.. Mitchell formerly
lived in this county, where his wife is re-
siding at present. His slayer imn1edi
ately gave himself up to the proper author
tiles, and his trial will come OFF al an earl
day"

the vaIiety of styles ho has assumed since
his first article in the telegraph, some two

he has contributed, we think we may

10 say that the writer is young, and the ar

young gentlemen, and ladies', too, or even
older ones, who could add an interest to
the Telegraph, as we'll as improve their
own mental powers, by devoting an hour
occasionally to literary thought and com
position? We shall be happy to be the
means ofintroducing any such to the read

commenced their career in quite as hum

be varied according to the soil. If mead

should be added. On such soils, forin, q
species Of whito top, will greatly improve it.

TINE OF CUTTING.

The time Of cutting grass, for hay, is also
an important matter TO tho farmer. To
cut them all at the same time or stage, is
as inappropriate as TO gather winter apples
at the Same time with early summer fruit.
Grass should be cut when it has the larg-
est amount Of nutritive substances, such as
sugar, gluten and other substances soluble
in water. In tho carly stage of its growth
it contains large amount of water. From
this time the sugar and other soluble mat
ter increases, till they reach tho highest
amount in the blossom, before the seed
forms in the cells. From this time tho
saccharino matter decreases and the woody
fibre increases till the seeds have matured,
when the plant begins to decay. Ofcourse,
if the plant is not cut until the seed ripens,
great part of the nutriment of the plant
is lost and the woody fibro left in its place.
To this, however, there are exceptions. The
nutritive property of timothy is greater
when tho seed is ripe than when in flower,
and so the orchard grass Most of the grass
os make moro hay if cut when in blossom,
but the crested dog tail is an exception to
this rule; but as general rule in cutting
grass, it is better to be little too early
than too late. Red-top should be cut when
in blossom; red clover when about half the
heads are in blossom; timothy when the
blossoms have fallen, and swale grass before
it blossoms.
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1858-06-25
MODE oF CUTTING.

The mode of cutting, too, is important
Tho grass, while growing, shades tho roots
and keeps them moist To cut the gras,
close to tho roots, suddenly, to q burning
sun, and if they are not killed it is good
luck.
Many grasses have bulbous root, in
which the vitality of the plant is concen-
trated in the winter. From these proceed
the stalks which support the leaves and
head. As soon as the grass is ripe tho
stalk begins to dry up, near the bottom first /;
generally at a point above the second
joint of the stem above the root From
this point the drvncss proceeds upwards,
and the last portion Of stalk that yields up
its vitality is that adjoining the head. The
appearance of this dryness in the stalk is
evidence that tho tubers and seed are all
ripe, and neither stalk nor leaves are longer
necessary. The tubers, with one or two of
the lower joints Of the stalk, remain fresh
and green during tho winter, if left to take
their natural course, but if this green por-
tion is scared off in moving, or eat off by
the cattle, tho result will be the death of
the plant. From these observations, it is
evident that timothy and other grasses hay
ing bulbous roots, should not be fed by hor-
ses sheep and othcr animals that nip close !;
that the proper time for cutting them is as
soon as the dryness begins in the stalk, and
then they should not be cut lower than the
second joint above the tuber.
HAY CAPS.
But the best grass in tho world will be
poor hay unless well cured,s Ono or. two
rains on it will wash out all the nutriment,
and render it of less value than good straw
Even if no rain fall on it, and it is well
cooked up, the outside will be sunburnt, and
of little value, il it stand long in the hot
sun. To protect hay from tho sun after il
is well cured, is as necessary as to protect j
from the rain, especially if it is TO stanC
any length Of time This can be done will
hay caps. made of cotton cloth about 4
yard square, with pins attached to the fou
corners BY strong twine. After the hay il
cooked up, the cap can bo drawn over il
like an umbrella, and by tho twino fastened
to the stakes in the ground They can al
so be used in harvest to protect the shocks
Instead of stakes somo use Weights at
tached to the corners and let them hang
down the sides Of tho cock of hay or shocl
Of grain. They will cost about a shilling
apiece, and viii save their cost often in
single rain in laying or harvesting, To diI
tho caps in strong solution or detection o

A Washington letter writer, under date of the

Gen. Scott will start for California next week, with
full powers from Government to organize, in that
State an armyor the invasion of Utah, if the latest
adyices from Salt Lake City, which be shall receive

Of hostilities. In that case he will employ the
regulars now on the Pacific side and will also call
upon the Governor Of California for volunteers.
He expects to reach Salt Lake in June, simultane-
ousy with Col Johnston. 1t is part of his plan Of
operations, to conduct the army up the Colorado
River which is believed to be navigable for three
hundred miles above its junction with the ella, and
in the exact direction Of Utah. An officer Of the
army is now engaged in surveying the river and 50
far as It has been yet examined, it has been found
deep stream without shoal or falls, with a current
Of three miles an hour.
The Southern route for the Pacific Railroad has
been voted down in the Senate Committee, by the
