Shooting a Cow.-On Saturday. last, before
Justice Baker, of Henrico county, a very small
lad was arraigned and examined on the charge
of maliciousiy shooting and killing n milch
cow belonging to Mr.. Peyton Johnston, and
At the time feeding in her owners field. The
accused, whose parents reside on the eastern
suburbs, stated that he had been induced to
commit the offence by the advice Of an older
person, but this statement was not credited,
because no man OF respectability would be
guilty of so low an act as to make a mere child
a tool for gratifying his revenge. About twelve
months before the shooting referred to, Mr..
Johnston lost a COW in a similar manner, and
the impression now is that the same boy killed
both.
This lad, it is said, is in the habit Of asso,i-
atipg with that party OF boys who were so
very annoying to the neighborhood of Haiey's
Spring last Summer, and we have very little
doubt that bad associates, coupled with the
fact that boys of all ages are allowed 10
roam the old fields ut pleasure, armed with
shot guns aud pistols. have led him into the
present difficulty, for which he is required 10
answer at the March term of the County
Court. If boys are permi, ted to keep bad com :

they will, parents must expect them to turn
out badly.

Who ersY .a,r dead Mute We never did
until a few days since. We had begun to think
that mules never died, but simply wore out
and transmigrated through the med nm of thin
air into other forms But we have Asen tAe
animal dead-stone dead Nay, two Of them!
Thursday and Friday each displayed its dead
mule or a dray, being conveyed TO tae estab-
lishment of some of those ingenious persons
who convert every part of the animal body
into Immediate use and thus deny to even the
mule the poor privilege of a peaceful sleep in
some quiet horse heaven. Bnt the truth is.
these mules did not die! They were killed, no
doubt! With shoes not fitting to be worn by
the most ordinary mule they were probably
whipped over icy pavements. with heavy loads,
until they fell-neck-b broken. if not heart-bro-
lows After all their lives drawing drays,
driven by drivers who had no mercy on Them
they are for the first and last time treated to a
ride upon the graceful vehicles which they
have only known in connection with the tor
lures of the lash and heavy loads! Is there a
more persecuted animal on EARTH With q re-
finement of cruelty unexampled, their drivers
punish them by cutting them on the ears-ap-
plying the lash, with the accuracy of q rifle
shot, to their very tips, and with a force that
makes a detonatiOn equal to the rifles crack
thus at once inflicting pain that runs throu gh
every muscle of their bodies and reminds them
OF that deformity of long ears which is the butt
of the worlds jokes! Finally, the mule is hur-
ried away on q drag: the machine with which
the black inquisition TO which he was martyr
mas made his days miserable and filled his
dreams with terrOrs indescribable! These are
refec tions to arouse the heart of philanthropy
and hil the world with pity!

Recipe for Making good Hard
Soap.

In the May number OF the Farmer,
among the Enquiries and Answers" 7
find that G. a. Chase, of Ohio, is desi-
rous Of obtaining recipe for making
good hard soap. If he will he very par
ticular and attend fully to the following
recipe, he will possess as good and as pure
a chemical soap as he ought to desire
But let me warn him, Just here, that if he
deviates from the principles laid down
here-vhich are simple and comprehen-
sive-the chemical process will thereby
be destroyed-I know this to be so from
experience.
Pure CHEMICAL SoAP.-Pour u quarts
soft boiling water upon D lbs. unslaked
lime. Then dissolve ) lbs. washing soda
in II quarts soft boiling water. Then
mix the above together, and let the mix
ture remain together from y to "a hours
for the purpose of chemicalizing. Now
! pour off all the clear liquid-being care
ful not to disturb the sediment. Add to
the above ID lbs. clarified grease, and
from to 4 or. of rosin. Boil this COM
pound together one hour; pour off to cool {;
cut up into bars for use, and you are in
possession of a superior chemical soap.
The cost of this superior article is about
3 ID cents per lb.- Cor GeneSee Farmer.

Deception aud seIf-Dcception.

Don't make believed Don't try to i'm.
press people with the idea that you are n
salver piece, when nature only designed
You for a copper. Isn't there nore cred
it in being bright penny than spurious
dollar? You may possibly succeed in de-
ceiving the world for short time, but
sooner or later you will be thrown aside
as false coin. If you are ashamed Of your
true character, people will begin to look
at you suspiciously. An evident lack Of
seli-respect is the very poorest policy for
those who are beginning life. The world
is naturally cautious and easily preju-
diced, but offer yourself Just as you are,
undertaking nothing you cannot perform,
and protesting nothing you do not thor
oughly understand and it will find few
handles to hang suspicion on. Truth and
honesty are worth thousands Of dollars
Of capital. Make no pretensions-do
think to increase your market value by
advertising. If you are good for any
thing people will be pretty likely to find
it out; if not, all the boasting that lips
can utter will be of no earthly use. You
may deceive yourself. An impostor OF
any kind is sure to be detected ere long
and the man whose whole life is no bet
ter than a counterfeit, wins nothing bnt
contempt for his pains, when the voyage
of existence is over. Sail under your true
| colors, or don't sail at all.

.FlsSf tl,c Man he Wanted.

A good joke is told at the expense oi
an attachc of one of the Republican jour
nails of this city. Last Friday evening
he was fastening from the telegraph Of
fee with fresh dispatch from Chicago
in his hand, when an acquaintance stop
ped him with the inquiry:
"Who is nominated for Vice Presi-
dent?
"Cannibal Animal, of Wisconsin, and
a strong nomination it is, too"
"Dut who is he?"
"Why, don't you know Cannibal An
imal, of Wisconsin? Haven't you heard
of him."
"No; I don't remember. Let me look
at your dispatch.
The dispatch was shown, and the ac-
quaintance discovered that his informant
had got things slightly mixed.
Why" said he, sit is Hannibal Ham
lin, of Maine"
"Is it," said the attache. "Well, it
don't make much difference. ."-Al5any
Alos and ArguS.
The above is equal to a Cleveland out
slider who went to Chicago to get Sew
ard nominated On his return, he fan
cled he was Tom Corwin, and attempted
to make a speech, and failing in this, he
bade the crowd at one of the way stations
Join him in (hic) three cheers for (hic)
Abraham Seward and Hannibal (hic) Lin

Lice on Fowls.

The valley Farmer says strict cleanli.
ness about the roosts and nests will pre-.
vent hens from becoming lousy. The
droppings under the hens should be re-
moved frequently, the nests often renewed
and air slaked lime and ashes scattered
around the floors and roosts. Boxes OF
dry ashes and lime should always be kept
under cover where the fowls can have
constant access to them, that they may
wallow in them at pleasure.
But when they have become lousy, the
roosts should be thoroughly swept and
cleansed, the straw and litter from the
nests entirely removed, and the wood
work and roost-poes of the hens white
washed with fresh Stacked lime, into
which a quantity of sulphur or tobacco
has been mixed. A day or two before
this operation the fowls should be fed
with coarse corn-meaP wet with milk or
water, into which n quantity of sulphur
has been mixed. Feed with this several
days; it may then be omitted few days,
and repeated again at intervals of three
or four days, and continued in this way
until all the nits have hatched, when the
insects will dros off and leave the fowls
Thorough cleanliness after this, will gen.
ally exterminate them. Fowls are al.
ways poor apd unthrifty, and setting hem
aseseidom successful in Matching their egg,
when annoyed with vermin; little care
is all that is necessary to prevent it.

LOVE IN HUMBLE IAFE.-.ln East Bos-
ton recently, maiden wife of less than
twenty years of age, was borne to the
grave. The husband and lover was q
young mechanic of twenty-three. They
had loved each other from childhood,
and were to have been married some six
months ago, when she was prostrated by
consumption. About fortnight before
her death, she said she had only one
earthly wish ungratifed; she desired to be
united to him who had loved her so long
and so truly, in the hope of being his in
heaven! He could deny her nothing-he
married death! Bolsterd mp by pillows,
and supported in the embrace of he,
mother, she was united to her lover: hel
feeble voice was hardly audible, in re,
spending to the questions of the mar,
riage ceremony, She was his, and sait
she could die without regret. From ther
until she passed away, she was unable tC
speak above a whisper, but she appeared
happy, and though wasted to skin ant
bone, a pleasant smile left its impress
on her face, as her soul returned to Goo
who gave it.

OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL,

OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL,l
Columbus, Ohio, April l4th, 1860.
Sir: The requisition with its accompan-
ing documents made upon you by the
Governor of Kentucky, for the surrender
of Willis Lago, described to be "fugi
tive from justice of the laws" of that
State, may, for all present purpose, be
regarded as sufficiently complying wi tn
the provisions of the Federal Constitu-
ton and the act Of Congress touching the
extradition of fugtives from justice, if
the alleged offense charged against Lago
can be considered as either "treason, tel-
ony, or other crime" within the fair
scope of these provisions.
Attached to the requisition is an au-
thenticated copy Of the indictment on
which the demand is predicated; and this
-omitting merely the title of the case
? and the venue-it is in the words and fig
ures following:
"The Grand Jury of Woodford county
in the name and by the authority Of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, accuse Will
lis Lago, free man of color, of the crime
of assisting slave to escape, DC, COM
mitted as follows, viz: The said Willis
Lago, free man of color, on the 4th Of DC
tober, 1859, in the comfy aforesaid, not
having lawful claim, and not having any
color Of claim, thereto, did seduce and en-
tice Charlotte, slave, the property Of g..
w. Nichols, to leave her owner and pos
SCISSOR, and did aid aud assist said slave
in an attempt to make her escape from
her said owner and possessor, against the
peace and dignity of the Commonwealth
of Kentucky.
This indictment, it must be admitted, is
quite inartificially framed, and it might
be found different to vindicate its validity
according to the rules of criminal plead
ing, which contain in our own courts, or
wheresoever else the common law pre-
walls. This objection, however, if it
have any force, loses its importance in the
presence of the other considerations,
which in my Judgment, must control the
fate of the application.
The act of which Lago is thus accused
by the Grand Jury of Woodford county
certainly is not treason according to
any code of any country and just as GER
tainly is not felony or any other crime
under the laws of the State or by the com
mon law. On the other hand, the laws
of Kentucky do denounce this act as a
"crime;" and the question is thus pre-
sented whether under the Federal Consti-
tuition, one State is under obligation to
surrender its citizens or residents to any
other State, on the charge that they have
committed an offence not known to the
laws of the former, nor affecting the pub
lie safety, nor regarded as malum in Sc by
the general judgment and conscience OF
civilized nations.
This question must, in my opinion, be
resolved against the existence of any such
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1860-06-28
A College Yarn.

One night as my friend p and my
self, who were both students of the old
Yale, were out taking little run around
the city, VIC found ourselves, at rather a
late hour of the night, before the door of
a well-known grocer by the name OF
Snip.
Stop moment said P, turning
and gazing at Ships fancy sign that was
swinging to and fro in the breeze.
Whats up?' ] asked after p had
eyed it for some time contemplativey.
Nothing in particular, Bob said he,
Just give me little hoist here, and I'll
fetch that picture down in double quick
time. That Snip is a scoundrel, for he
presented my bill this morning, and when
| refused to pay it, he threatened to in
form the tutor
No sooner asked than received; the sign
was down and we were off in triumph. -
Suddenly a window opened and out pop
ped the head of Snip, crying:
Bring that back, you Internal young
villains! Bring that ere back, now tell
YER
No answer was returned, but speci-
men Of very tall walking took place. We
were soon in our room with our door
locked and the glittering prize before us
for we had hung on to it like grim death
By the aid Of an axe that CHANGED to be a
/ hand, it was soon reduced to peices re
rnslkably adapted to our stove into which
it was fast Disappearing as fast as timt
would permit. Ere it has passed frou
sight we were suddenly startled by The
cautious treal oftwo persons apparently
nearing our door.
The steps we recognized as being those
Of the Tutor and the other we very right
ly coniectured belonged to the late pro.
prietor of the relics around us.
Here was fix for MS. Enough of the
sign left to convict us, and no place in
which to conceal L,
Rap, rap, rap, was sounded at the
door
gave myself up to fate, and was about
to 90 and unlock it, when | was arrested
by the voice of P, exclaiming in the
most solemn tones imaginable:
From everlasting to everlasting arr
Thou, oh, Lord of Hosts
Turning around in astonishment | be-
held my friend on his knees engaged il
prayer.
The outsiders were evidently astonish
ed, as no further attack on the door tool
place. Ships confidence as to the precise
individuals was doubtless shaken in some
degree. In the meantime, | took the hint
and went to piling in the sign with ven
geance. P spun ont his prayer, til
the last peice was reduced to ashes, anC
then raising his voice to high key, h
! finished of with the quotations:
And oh, have mercy on this wickec
and adulterous generation, who go abou
seeking for a SIGN, but shall have no sIG>
given them. A-m-e-n.'
This last renewed the suspicious Of the
outsiders, and they repeated the knocking
We opened the door; they entered, anc
after a minute search in every corner
they gave it up and decided that we were
not the guilty ones. Still | noticed as
our victim disappeared, his last gaze
turned most wistfully on our stove.
