A HUNT on pRE HIGHWAY.

From the Journal Of Police officer.
There was shrewd robber somewhere.
The farm houses were robbed shops were
robbed and people had their own pockets
picked. All this happened in the region
of country between Sidney and Lowstone
not a field of vast extent-and yet the
robber or robbers, could not be found -
Officers had searched in every direction.
and several suspicious looking individuals
had been apprehended; but the real cul-
pait remained at large. One day the n all
was robbed. and on the next man had
his pocket picked of five hundred pounds,
while riding in the stage coach-for my
narrative dates back to the old coaching
days. The money had been carried in
his breast pocket. and he knew it was sto-
len from him while be was enjoying a bit
of doze on the road.
I had been confined to my house by a
severe cold for several days, and was not
fit to 90 out now; but as the matter was
becoming SC serious, l felt it my duty to
be on the move, and accordingly / fortified
nv throat aud breast with warm flannel
and set forth. I had no settled plan in
my mind, for had not yet been upon the
road, and was not thoroughly posted up.
A ride of FIVE miles in my own trap bro't
me to Sidney and thence I meant to take
coach to Lowstone, where Sam Stickney,
one of the shreWdest of men lived Stick
ney had already been on the search, and
l wished TO consult him before making
any decided movement. | reached Sidney
at half past five in the morning, and the
coach left at SIX. lowstoue was sixty
miles distant, SO l had a good ride before
me. During the early part of the day
rode upon the box with the driver. and
gained considerable information touching
the various robberies that had been com
mitted. He was forced to admit that
several people had been robbed in his
coach, though he couldn't see into it, for
be had not the most remote idea of who
the rebber could be,

she spoke she carried her hand beneath
her cloak. 1t was quickly Withdrawn, and
in it was a pistol, but she had grasped a
portion Of her dress with it, and before she
could clear it. had sprung upon her and
sezen her by her arms. But it was a her

slight body than had bargained for !
However, my man popped" in the mo-
ment he heard the scuff1e, and the beauty
was soon secured. The glossy brown tress-
es fell off during the scufle, and some of
the paint was removed from the cheeks.
AS soon as the prisoner was secured, |
had lis trunk taken off and brought in, and
upon oyerhauling its contents we found
disguises Of all sorts, and quite a sum Of
money, besides watches and jewelry of
much value made him assume proper
male attire, and when he stood forth IN

only used red paint for the blushing beau
ty of to- day. but that be had applied a
more cadaveroUs coloring matter for the
consumptive individual of yesterday. As
he stood now, he was 1.-THE built, intelli-
gent looking youth, Of not more than five
and twenty; but with cold blooded ex-
preston upon his marble face, and an evil
look in his dark eyes.
Wecarried him back to Lowst0ne, where
we found the money of the old farmer up
on him, besides other money which had
been lust by different individuals. At first
he told strange stories Of himself, but f.
nallv, when he knew the worst must come
he confessed the whole. He was from Lon
don, and had come into the country on
purpose to rob. He had two confederates
with him. who had helped him from place
to place One Of them had taken him
away from the inn the night before, and
the other had brought him and set him
down at the farmers gate that morning
We made search for these confederates,
but they had got wind Of their principal S
arrest. and were not to be found.
However, we had got the chief sinner,
and had broken up the game. After he
had been found guilty, and sentenced, he
seemed TO enjoy himself hugely it telling
how he had dereived the good people of
our country. How he would turn himself
again into the old woman, who bad given
the driver so much trouble about her band
box Then he would be again the meek
browed minister, who had distributed tracts
among the passengers, and picked their
pockets while they read. Then he would
draw himself up into the little bumped
backed old man, who had been lifted into
and out Of the coach. and robbed his help
ers vile they fixed his crutches for him
It was funny-very-and perhaps we
might never have caught him but for the
accident of the fagots. That was not so
funny for him and l doubt if he found
much fun in working at our hard stone
hammering, hammcring early and late
with an inpxorabIe master over him to
spur him up when lie Jagged.

Fatting Hogs EarIy-An Experiment

We have used this caption, or its equiv
alent, on former occasions. It has been
bro't to mind by reading an article from
correspondent of the Ohio Fumer He
first 'hogged down" Gin western parIance)
forty acres of corn, between the 10th of
September and the 23d of October. BY
the hogs being weighed when they were
turned in and when they were taken cut,
it was found that they paid forty cents
bushel for tile corn. estimating the pork at
four cents a pound, and corn at forty bush
els to the acre.
His next course was to take one hundl ed
bogs averaging 200 lbs each. which were
placed in nine covered pens and fed all
they could cat of corn and aob8 ground to-
gether, steamed, and given in allowance
five times day. In week they were
again weighed, when, reckoning 10 lbs Of
corn and cob as equal to bushel Of corn,
the hogs paid so cents a bushcl for the
c3rn. The weather was warm for the sea-
son.
The same experiment was tried again
the first week in November, when the corn
brought 60 cents, the weather being eo!d-
er. The 81 week in November the corn
brought only 40 cents, and the 4th week
it brought but 26 cents, the weather grow
ing colder Another lot Of hogs were fed
through December, which only gave 26
cents bushel for the corn, 4 part Of the
time the temperature was at zero, and then
the hogs only gained enough to pay rae
certs bushel for the corn, and afterwards,
when the mercury went down to ten de-
grees below zero, the hogs only he'd their
Olcn.
The inference from these trials is, that
in general it is not profitable to feed corn
to hogs after the middle of Noyember.-
The difference in gain is truly surprising,
and whether caused altogether in the DIFF
ference Of temperature or not, no person of
observation can doubt that hegs gain much
more in proportion to the food consumed,
in mild than in cold weather. 1t seems
that the hogs gain much lezs by helping
themselves to the corn In the feld. than
when the corn was ground ard cooked,
and fed to the animals in pens. under equal
advantages Of weather Bos'op Cuitigator.

Serenade TO Gen. Butler.

WAsHNGToS, Sept. 2.-Gen. Butler was
cOmplimented with a serenaie last night.
An immense crowd gathered in front of the
National Hotel. The band having played
the Star SpaugIed Banner, and there being
vociferous cheers for Butler, Gen. Wal
bridge appeared on the balcony to intro
duce him to the audience, in performing
which duty he briefly spoke Of the com
bined exploits of Butler aud Stringham,
saying that the policy 5ofinvading the Sc
cession States would crush the rebellion,
and secure freedom and submission to the
Constitution throughout the length and
breadth of the land. He then presented
Gen. Buffers as one whose recent conduct
afforded hnrtinger OF glorious future
for the county.
General Butler was again greeted with
cheers, aud after the band had performed
Hail 10 the Chief the applause was cnthu-
siasticaily prolonged. he said he had been
far too much complimented by this sx-
preston of the kind regard OF his fellow
citizens, but he took it as complimentary
to the title which all love, and for which
any of them were ready at this moment to
lay down their lives. Il was, therefore, no
mere personal congratulation to him, who,
by accident, became Il participation in the
scenes over which they had rejOiced. They
were all ready as they cherished the Union
and the Constitution to defend them.
To the gallant Navy under Stringham
are we mainly indebted for our success.
OIL it was glorious sight to see the SOL
dicrs of the Union stretching their hands
against their rebellious children. Had
you stood on the deck and seen the Wa
bash, Minnesota and Cumberland come
into action and looking over the deep sea
seen the Savannah, which bearing the
canuonading came to take her share in the
contest, and heard the booming of the
cannon rs rebukesto treason, you would
have thought il such music as lightens u
mans lite. 1t w&S eglorious sight to see
the man who was once an honor to the
Navy of the United States, but who had
proved recreant to his duty, presenting his
sword ms prisoner to Commodore String
ham. He meant Capt. Barron, in company
with prisoners on his way to New York.
Mr.. Butler was repeatedly interrupted
by applause. After describing the battle,
he spoke of the, necessity of continuing
vigorous measures for crushing out the re-
belion, saying that with the aid Of. jack
Frost, the King of the North, who would
kill off the malaria that now hung over
the South, the forces of the Republic would
push zealously on to the contest and not
rest until every Union man can enjoy his
own opinion and the rights guaranteed by
our free institutions. Il
In conclusion he proposed three cheers
for the Navy, which were earnestly and en-
Enthusiastically given, and he retired amid
repeated cheers.
Representative Sedjwlcls, of New York,
Senator McDosgal, of California, and w.
D. Wallach, of Washington, severally ad-
dressed the asseublnge. The band again
played and the procession marched of to
other officers of the Government.
