A BLOODY RELIo-Mr. J. Pimm, of this
city, has left at our office the sword of Tan
tree LHfee, ono of the noted Chiefs of the
late Sepoy rebellion in India The weapon
is of native manufacture, about the length of
onr swords, but having somo twelve inches
of the blade curved and double-edged. The
Workmanship displays considerable ingenui-
ty, but in the design there is no eye to de-
tcnsej it would deal terrible blows, but ward
them poorly. When taken from its luckless
owner (who was executed by the British) it
was clotted with humaL gore, which was
suffered to remain and rust on it, adding
greatly to its interest as a memento of the
terrible scenes of slaughter and bloodshed in
which it bore a part. Mr.. Pimm, who is re-

WHAT A "SMALL FIsTED FARMER" CAN Do
The Westport (Mo Star thus notices the op
erations Of a small -fsted farmer" in jackson
county, and adds that they need more Just
such farmers ia Missouri:
Mr.. Horning has but seven acres of ground
but we doubt not that with his German
thrift and industry, he realizes as much from
those seven acres us many old fogy farmers
do from seventy. About three acres are de-
voted to fruits and orchard grass, two acres to
grapes, one and a half to vegetables and
melons, and the balance includes his build
ings, storerooms, yards, Orbors, &c. His
trees and vines were selected from the very
best-every vine having been inspected and
recommended by Mr.. N. Longworth. of Gin.
cinnati, before being shipped. Most of the
vines are very young, and only about one
acre has been bearing heretofore; vet That
one acre has yielded more money than any
ten acres OF corn in jackson county. The
grapes sell readily at SO cents per gallon, and
the wine at S2 so per gallon.
Last year this little orchard afforded ZOO
bushels OF apples for Westport and adjacent
markets at from 70 to 50 cents per bushel
besides furnishing good pasturag ge to two or
three fine cows, whose yield of milk, butter
and cheese would be incredible to loose far.
mers of the old fogy stock.
During the present season, Mr.. Horninp
has raised, in corner of his grounds. hun
dreds of melons, which were eashed as soon
soon as ripe.
With good luck, in favorable season. it ia
estimated that the yield of this little German
farm will be about as follows:
800 bushels apples, at rs cts. ...... $500
