HARPER's FERRY, Dec. 10.


The prisoners Cook and Coppic were
visited by the Rev. Messrs. North, Waugh
and Leech. Previous to their departure
for the scaifold, tho prisoners were engaged
in the entrance washing their feet and put
ting on their under clothing. Capt. Avis
said that if they had anything to say they
could say it then, in the presence Of fifteen
or twenty men. Cook replied that he was
grateful indeed for tho kindness shown
him by Sheriff Campbell, the jailors and
the guards. To the Rev. Messrs. Waugh,
North, Littcll, Lcech and the other minis.
ters who had manifested such interest in
his welfare. and Messrs. Joseph +. Bloss-

zcns generally, for their kindness to him
he was very grateful.
At this point Coppio looked up and

the parting with friends, not tho dread Of
death. that moves rs" On the way down
stairs they were allowed to advance TO tho
cell Of Stevens and Iazlitt, and bid them
farewell. They shook hands cordially, and
Cook said to Stevens, "My friend, good
bye" Stevens said, Good bye, cheer up,
give my love to my friends in tho other
world" Coppic also made n remark to
Stevens, which was unhcard by the crowd,
but Stevens replied, Mover mind" Both

him good bye but did not call him by

politely,
After the cap bad been placed on their

stretched forth his hand as far AS possible.
At the same time Cook said, "Slop min.

Shall rise to all his Heavenly charms:
And he of whom now do write

For him who never can return;

Then Christ shall wake his sluIhberng clny.

Since Christ affords his heavenly joys.
A vacant place there is indeed,
Which none can fill in word or deed
Among the children he is not found,
Ills absence spreads gloom around.
His vacant garments speak bis loss,
They seem to say with mournful voice
That WHITES ssgone. his spirit fed,

Necessity of Taking Particular Care OF
Young Stock i'm Winter.

As young animals are most susceptible
of cold, they should be closely attended to
in winter, and comfortable shelter and
suitable food provided for them. Colts
and calves are sometimes neglected until
their shvering frames and staring coats
proclaim that something must be done
TO save them from pcrshing When young
stock Of any kind suffer from cold or hun.
ger IN the first year of their existence,
their growth becomes stunted and they
never arrive at their natural size.
Hogs arc very sensitive of cold, and it
will be the farmers interest to keep the II
very warm in winter, and to feed them
with cooked food. In order to cconom>c
forage of every kind, stcaming apparatus
is strongly recommended, rs with the aid
OF this, and straw cutter, the farmer can
convert seemingly insipid material into
nourlshing pabulum, and as the American
farmer has always abundance Of fuel, there
can be no excuse for his not adopting this
approved plan of feeding stock. When
the domestic animals take the field in en-
suing spring, their condition will speak for
the good or bad management of their
owners. AS provender is scarce and dear,
it is necessary to economise it, and at the
same time, to use every means Of promot-
ing tho health and improvement of the
stock.
