THE OBERLIN SLAVE CASES.

Some months since two Kentuekians
attempted to kidnap a colored boy in 10
rain County, Ohio, but they were pre-
vented, and some thirty or forty of the
rescuers, highly respectable citizens Of
Oberlin, were arraigned and bound over
on their own recoguizances. The trial
Of one Of the number took place last
week at Cleveland, and resulted in his
conviction. The local papers say that
the Jury was packed, and that every man
was a Buchanan democrat. This case
having been disposed Of, the District At
torney called the name of James LaDgs-
ton as the next case, but the counsel for
the defense SAID they were only ready to
proceed with the case of Prot. Peck
The Attorney insisting upon Mr.. Langs-
tons case, the defense said they thought
they could be ready by the time the new
jury were ready to proceed, whereupon
the Judge said that the same jury
that mad tried the first case would
try all the cases. This ruling Of
the Judge was strenuously opposed by
counsel for the defense, as a mockery Of
that Justice which should prevail in every
court. The court announced that the rI-
ling would be enforced, when the counsel
for defense refused to call any witnesses
or appear before such jury, and insist
ed upon the canceling of the recogoizan.
ees of the accused. This being done, the
Marshal was at loss to know what tt
do with the company, and tried to &c
them to give their parole for their ap
pearance, but after consultation they de

into no recognizance, and make noRrom

ST. PATRICK.

According to the writers, St. Patrick
was born near Dumbriton, in Scotland,
about A. D. 377. When quite youth,
the age Of sixteen, he was seized by some
Irish marauder and sold as slave IN
ireland. After five or six years OF cap
tivity, he escaped from his master and
returned to the land of his nativity
Having started on journey to France,
in a few months afterwards, he was again
captured by the Picts and carried off by
pirates and sold at Bordeaux as a slave.
When be obtained his freedom, he turned
bis attention to study, entered a monas-
terry and became a monk. He spent
seven years in France and Italy, and was
at the latter place ordained priest
/ But his desire for the conversion of the
Irish would not allow him to remain at
any other work. Hence in the year 432,
at the advanced age of ifty-fve, he land
ed on the coast of Ireland aud COM
menced his missionary labors in Lagenia,
province in the northern part of the
Island. His success as a missionary was
very great and bis labors were very on
erous. 1t is said that for several years
be travelled on foot from place to place
slept on the ground, and toiled incessant
\ " to establish Christianity in every par
of ireland. He made several journey;
to Rome, to obtain from the Pope per,
/ sons to assist him in the missionary cause
When he had become infrm from old
/ age and excessive toll, it is said that ever
then he preached daily, superintendel
! the affairs for all the churches, held (
council annually, labored to civilise thr
nation, to impart to them letters, anc
performed every duty of good shep

HOMEMADE GUANO. a correspon-
dent of the New York Tribune, who
writes from Otsego county, New York,
gives the following directions for making
a valuable manure :
Buy old fsh-barrels that will hold wa
ter. In the bottom of each there will be
about half bushel of salt ; put them in
some convenient place under shelter fill
them with urine wet your ashes with
this, and when you plant corn put a small
handful to a bill. 1t will add greatly to
the crop. Also use the liquid to pour on
the ground between the rows of beets and
other notwithstanding a trench to
contain the water, so as not to have il
come in contact with the crop, for ii j:
sure death if 1t does. It has doubled my
crop Of beets. 1t is also excellent for
cabbages.'

Hen Manure for Corn.

One Of the respondents of the
Country Gentleman gives the following
account of an experiment with hen ma
nure as a fertilizer: " On cleaning out
my hen house last spring ] had more than
a wagon load of clean hen manure. l
drew this into my barn intending to drop
it on the hills of corn as soon as the corn
made its appearance. 1 planted one acre
on the first of May, but after that the
weather became so unfavorable that it
was the end of May and beginning of
June before I got through planting
Long before this manure began to heat
at such rate that 1 had to unload it on
the barn floor, and on going into the barn
a few days after, the effluvia from the es-
Gaping ammonia was so powerful that ]
was glad to escape from the barn. HaY-
ling some plaster on hand mixed it thor
oughly with the manure, spreading the
latter thinly over the floor and bruisine
and choppiBg it very fine. 1t was Their
thrown into a heap and remained on tht
floor until the corn was ready for it, ant
there was no further perceptible escape
of ammonia. With this Itop-dressed al
ny corn, eleven acres, and had a barre
left over for other purposes. So vel
! satisfied am I with the result, that for tn
future | intend to prepare my manure Il
the same way and apply it TO the sam
crop. mixed enough plaster with it t
make it dry and quite inofensive to han
E die. l can speak of this from export
= ence, as 1 dropped it over four acres my
= self. Now, here is a manure equal i
value, l doubt not, to the average Of in
q ported guano, which every farmer ca

THE SULTAN OF TURKEY.

For sick man" the Sultan Of Tur-
key manages to dispose of a heap of
money upon the personal qualification of
himself and household. To "keep the
pot boiling" in the Imperial kitchen costs
SlI6,lG0 per month, while the royal
steeds run away with S36,720 in the same
period, supposed to be required to keep
oriental uags in good condition. Five
princesses and their husbands modes,ly
content themselves with the bagatelle Of
S2G7 600 for the necessary expenses Of
thirty whole days, and brother of the
Sultan hardly makes both ends meet
with S46,400 a month. Then thirty six
wives Of the Sultan (dear creatures y
are cut Off with S154S so per month
each, to which out Of charity an annual
present Of SI,64O,OOO or SI03,333 per
month, is distributed among them, by
which means they are enabled to keep
up appearances" and get a supply OF
sweetmeats, besides buying few jewels,
perhaps. The grand mistress Of the
treasure, with her twelve female assist
ants, contrive to perform their duties or
a stipend Of a trife over $4,000 pei
month; and the $50 female slaves of tho
Imperial harem, who contribute to tn,
pleasure Of his majesty, require only
$4,000 to satisfy their moderate want
during the same period. The chief Q
the eunuchs takes S34,84S, and a thou
sand jauitors and body guards are provi
ded for at the rate OF SCI, 760 per month
The Sultan is fond Of music, and doze
bands charm him for the trihe of S77.74
per month. The Sultan does not forge
his old friends, and so those girls, marie
or unmarried, who have left the harem
are consoled for the loss of the light
his countenance BY pensions amountiu
altogether to a little over half millio
dollars once in thirty days. And lhr
the list goes on, until an aggregate
S3,932,3I4 per month, or S47,1S7, &c
yearly is reached. And all for the Su
tan and bis household. The amount al
items seem fabulous, but French pap
ayows that they are copied from the Ii
perial registers themselves.-B0stoa jon
