under excitement caused by the arrest Of his

On Monday last, whilst attempting to cross
ravine, near Orkney Springs, which was
flooded by recent rain, young man named
John Halterman, from Hardy county, was
drowned. He was warned not to attempt to
cross it, but liquor having dethroned reason,
he persisted in doing so, and a premature death
was the result. On Wednesday last, Mr.. Mil

BATTLE WITH THE KIowAs AND CONAN
OHR INDIANs.-A letter from the commanding
officer of Fort Kearney, Nebraska Territory,
the 9th inst, of Capt. Sturgis, 1st cavalry, in
command OF six companies, 4l0 men and Is
officers Capt. Sturgis reported that on the
9th and 7th inst. he had engagements with the
kiowas and Comanche Indians, on or near
Republican river, about fifty miles southwest
Of Fort Kearney. At least 900 warriors were
present. of whom 20 or 80 were killed. The
whites lost one private missing, two wounded,
and five Indian guides killed. Capt. Sturgis
intended to remain at Fort Kearney few
days to recruit, and would then go south pro-
bably to Fort Riley or Pawnee Fork. The
kiowas had for a long time been hiding in the
country between Republican and Arkansas
rivers. They bad endeavored to avoid fight.
After the engagement Of the 7th they scattered
and went south. The same letter expresses
anxiety for the safety Of Lieut.. TYLER and six
men, who left the Fork on the sth to look up
stray horses near where the fight above men
toned took place, not knowing of the prox-
unity of hostile Indians. A force of dragons

Stanley, he says of projection: III I
ssSurely there should be no disagree
ment between Republicans as to the
Tariff. Whatever may be any man S
theoretical views of Free Trade, we are
all agreed that there is no prospect OF
the adoption of the policy ofunrestricted
commercial intercourse by civilized ma
tions during the life time of any of US;
and NO one, L believe, proposes the ,adop-
ton of that policy by the United States
without the conourrenceo of other. nations.
Certainly.T I do not. I am practical
man, and wish to take practical views OF
this Tariff question, as of every other,
avoiding ultraism in every direction. |
know that we have always had a tariff.
I know that we never had a horizontal
tariff, unless the Compromise act of 1888
may be called such. l know that for a
long time to come, and perhaps as long
as our Union shall endure we shall have
tariff Now these things being SOL
am clearly of opinion that tariff laws, like
all other laws, should be SO framed as to
do as much good, and as little harm as
possible; and am therefore, in favor of
such determinations as will best secure
and promote the interests of labor-ot
our own labor-and the general well
being of our own people. No man, in
my judgement, deserves the name Of an
American Statesman who would not so
shape American legislation and Admins
tration as to protect American industry,
and guardimpartially all Americanrights

now no FATrEN CHICK EMS.

1t is hopeless to attempt to fatten
chickens while they are atliberty, They
must be in > proper coop; and. this like
most other poultry appurtenances, need
not be expensive. 10 fatten twelve
fowls, coop must be three feet long,
eighteen inches high, and eighteen
inches deep, made entircly7of bars: No
part of it solil-neither top, side nor
bottom. Discretion must be used ac-
cording to the sizes Of the chicken put
up They do not want room; indeed,
the closer they are the better, provided
they can all stand up at the same time.
Care must be taken to put up such as
have been accustomed to be together, or
they will fight. If one. is5quarrelsonle,y
it is better to remove it at once; as, like
other bad examples, it soon finds imita-
tors. A diseased chicken should notbe
put up.
The food should be ground oats, and
may either be put in a trough or on
fiat board running along the front of the
coop. 1t may be mixed with water or
milk; the latter is better, It should be
well Stacked, forming pulp as loose as.
can be, provided it does not run off the
board They must be we'll fed three or
four times day-the first time as soon
after daybreak as possible or convent
ent, and then at intervals of four hours
Each meal should be as much and no
more than they can eat up clean.
When they have done feeding, the board
should be wiped, and some gravel may
be spread. 1t causes them to feed and
thrive.
After a fortnight of this treatment,
you will have good fat fowls If, how
ever, there are but four to six to be fat
tened, they must not have SO much room
though there were twelve. Nothing is
easier than to allot them the proper
space; it is only necessary tohave one or
two pieces ofawood to pass between the
bars, and form PARTITION. This may
also serve when fowls are put up at diff
ferent- degrees of fatness This requires
attention, or. fowls will not keep. fat and
healthy AS soon as the fowl is suhi-
ciently fatte6cd it must be Killed, other
wise it. will still get. fat, or it will lose
flesh. IF fowls are intended for the
market, of course they are or may be all
fattened at once; but if for home con-
sum ption, it is better toput them up at
such intervals as will suit the time when
they are required for the table. When
the time arrives forskilling, whether they
are meant for marketsor otherwise, they
should be tasted, without food or water,
for twelve or fifteen hours. This ena-
bles them to be Kept some time after be-
ing killed, even in hot weather.-Lon-
don Cottage Gardener.
