] am not fond Of whipping children.
Least Of all would like to strike such a
helpless one; but if necessary to keep
her from danger or to make her obedient,
/ would rather apply a tingling rod to
her flesh, than dread to her imagination.
But this mother was unable to conceive
of any suffering but physical pain, and
turned from me as cruel disciplnarian.
Afterwards in the cars there was a
creaking sharp enough to wound Libby's
nerves, and she screamed. They said to

DoDGING A HATTER.-An individ.
ual purchased hat in a shop kept by a
tradesman by the name of Dodgion.-
The article was got in the absence of the
proprietor, and the purchaser left the
shop, entirely forgetting (by mistake, Of
course,) to pay for the aforesaid tile
The tradesman, upon hearing the facts,
started in hot pursuit of the delinquent.
Upon overbauling him the following
scene occurred:
"See here, sir, I wish to speak with
you"
"Move on"
l am Dodgion, the halter"
That's my fix"

$50 am I i; I'm dodgin' the halter, too
and very likely we are both of us
dodgin' the same chap"
The scene ended with striking tab
leau, in which Mr.. Diddler found himself
considerably "mixed up" with Dodgion,
the halter.

GETTING DIsGUsTED.-The Charles.
ton Nercury is disgusted with the retiring
disposition shown by the Virginians in
the presence of the enemy. 1t exclaims
after this manner:
"The reported retreat of the two COM
panies of Virginia cavalry before the ad-
vance Of a single company of United
States troopers without even crossing
swords with them, is almost incredible
news. We do not know what to make oil
it. Is the thing possible? 1t is said, in
extenuation Of this apparently dastardly
conduct, that one company of the Yir-
ginia cavalry we're without pistols. But
what vain and empty excuse! What
is the use of pistols in a sabre fight? The
sabre, not the pistol, is the weapon for a
charge of cavalry upon cavalry. Still
further, it is stated that the other compa-
ny of Virginians had pistols. They were
two to one against the United States
troops, and backed, besides, by a compa-
ny of rifemen. Good God! is this the
sort of fighting Southern troops intend to
make? Why, with their rifemen, and
two sabres to one, they ought to have cut
up the Lincolnites to a man, and pursued
the last man into the very encampment
of the enemy. Is the banner of the Old
Dominion to be thus trailed in the dust p
Oh! for an hour for old Light Horse
Harry once more to WELD his daring,
dashing blade Unless our meagre ac-
counts from the Richmond papers are
strangely incorrect, the epaulettes should
be torn from the shoulders of the officers
who have thus stained the honor of their
State, and a court martial should expel
them from the ranks of the confederate
army"
The following paragraph may throw
some light upon the conduct of the gal
liant Virginians
"One of the rebel horsemen, taken
prisoner at Fairfax, was taken to task by
secessionist because he failed to
make bold fight. The prisoner defend
ed his conduct with the petulant ejacula-
ion; How the devil could L? The

their own incompetency, and in hope that
the laborer to whom he pays wages is
better instructed than himself, defers to
him for advice and direction on all oe-
casions. No wonder that agriculture is
improbable, and makes few or no i'm
provements. The truth is plain, the pro-
prietor, who cultivates his landed prop
erty himself, should be the real inform
ing head of the administration Of its af-
fairs. He should know better what
ought to be done in all cases, in every
branch Of practice, than anybody he can
hire. He must be the intelligent chief
of his laboring hands, as an engineer is
of his corps, as the master architect is of
his carpenters, resolved and able to point
out every step to be taken in its execu-
ton, and capable of detecting any flaw.
defect or omission in it. A farmer then
is to be botanist in order to become ac-
quainted with the habits and wants Of his
plants, and an etomologst to be able to
protect his fruits nd other crops from
the ravages Of the numerous enemies who
live and prey upon them.-Ne0arE |

ST. DoMNGo.-A Liverpool paper Of
the 9th, says;
"The last accounts from St. Domingo
are far from confirming the statement in
the royal decree published in the Madrid
Gdsette, about the unanimous desire of the
population of the island to be Incorporated
with Spain. Revolt had broken out at
Samana, and the troops were obliged to
disperse the revolted. Cabrai, who COM
manded the Dominican army, and who
had retired to Hayti, had reappeared on
the frontier, and raised the Republican
flag, on which were inscribed the words,
God, our country and liberty 1t would
appear that neither the majority of the
country nor of the army are favorable to
annexation to Spain, and the revolt exists
in several points of the island"

THE WHEELING CONVENTION
Wheeling, Va, June II. In the Con
vention to-day, Mr.. Pierpoiut made a
strong speech in favor Of the declaration
of Mr.. Dorsey. The declaration was
ordered to a third reading.
Mr.. Carlisle obtained leave to report
an ordinance recognising the financial
bureau Of the state, by which no sher-
if or other depositary of the public funds
shall be permitted, under penalty of loss
of office, to pay money to the Richmond
authorities, or to any but authorities to be

Mr.. Dorsey moved that bis declara-
ton be put upon its passage, and called
for the yeas and nays. Passed; yeas
5G, no nays. Thirty members were abb
sent ON leave.
The declaration was signed by fifty
six members, the same number as signed
the Declaration of Independence.
WHEELING, June 20.-In the Conven-
ton to-day the morning session was occu-
pied in signing the Declaration. 1t was
an impressive scene. The roll was called
by counties, and each member came for
ward to the Secretary's desk and signed
the parchment.
In the afternoon T. A. Pierpoint was
unanimously elected Governor and Dan
iel Paisley Lieut.. Governor. Messrs.
Lamb, Paxton, Van Winkle, Harrison,

usual oath,one expressive Of the strongest
TO the usurpers at Richmond.
He then delivered an address to the Con-
yention, urging a vigorous prosecution Of
the work of redeeming the State from the
hands of the rebels.
A message from Gov. Pierpoint, recon- (
mending strong militia organization, is
expected in day or two.
Tonight the city is in blaze Of ex-
,itement, with fireworks, bell-ringing,

A TALE OF ERROR AND CRIME
We learn from the Cincinnati Enquirer
that on last Wednesday, previous to the
mail boats leaving this city, gentleman
and lady went aboard, and the former
engaged n state room to Cincinnati as for
himself and wife. The female is desert
bed as young, good looking, and of lady
like appearance, while her male compan-
ion bore the outward semblance Of gen
tleman. The boat arrived at Cincinnati
early next morning, and it seems that
soon after the gentleman went ashore, nor
did he return. The passengers, one after
another, left the boat until no one remain
ed but the young woman, who in the
meantime made frequent and anxious en-
quiries for her late companion. Time
wore on, but he came not, and as busy
preparation was made for the return trip
Of the boat to Louisville, the solitary
female became an object of curiosity.
At length she too disappeared, and as
she was seen lingering upon the outer
guard of the ladies' cabin, it was fear
fully suggested by some that she had per-
laps thrown herself overheard, and it
was even said that splash and death
struggle bad been heard in the water-
Ihe sequel to the sad tale, so far as the
Unfortunate woman is concerned, was de-
7eloped on Monday. Her body was
ound floating in the river near the foot
If Sycamore street, and recognized as
he passenger upon the Louisville packet.
An inquest was held, and a verdict was
'endered that she came to her death as
lbove recorded. From the circumstau-
.es surrounding the case, it is inferred
hat she was the victim Of heartless
coundrel who, after he had seduced and
ured her from home, basely deserted her.

This Rage for Live Animals on tho Paris
Stage.
A Paris correspondent observes:

A Paris correspondent observes:
There is quite rage now for the introduc-
ton of live animals upon the stages of the
town, perhaps in consequence of the success
which has attended tho introduction of live
rats upon the opera stage. They are intro
duced into every ballet, and upon ballet
nights it is impossible to procure seat there.
A goat, as you know, plays the leading part
in Mons, Meyerbeer's Pardon de Pl9rmel.
Next week we are to have sure enough
camels at the Cirque-which, despite its name,
is a theater, not a ring These novel per-
formers really throw good many families
into distress. 1t requires a very decided
"turn" and long practice to become even
tolerably expert as an an animal, to move
the feet in brute rhythm, and balance tho
body with beastly elegance, aud give life to
the painted pasteboard. 1t takes at the
least six months for fellow to make
decent jackass. You can scarcely believe it
from what you hear every day on the street I!
1t is considered very fortunate that man
ayers have hitherto been unable to intro
duce the natural agitation of the ocean on
the stage, as a great many ''waves of the
sea- have large families to support and would
| be reduced to starvation if they were thrown
| out Of employment.
The introduction of animals on the stage
| gives them great uneasiness and many sleep
less nights and l have heard whispered they
think of deputing the highest "wave of the
sea" in their fraternity as a committee to
beseech the Emperor to frame stringent laws
| prohibiting managers from introducing
| beasts upon the stage. They contend that
as the Government has protected Corneille
Racine and Moliere from burlesque writers,
| protection should be likewise extended to
them, and further, because animals may be
salted down or eaten fresh, or, if they be
unfit for these uses, may be skinned and the
skin sold, whereas men can not be sold for
more than twenty-five francs, even when
corpses are most scarce at the hospitals, and
the damage done by the suicidal act which
must precede every such sale would reduce
even this paltry price, as such damage would
render them to some degree improper tO
figure in anatomical museums.
