TA great many folks in Jackson

RA great many folks in Jackson
county refused to believe that Morgan
was in the State of Ohio at all. He
very politely paid his respects to these
unbelievers, and removed their in.
credulity by relieving them Of their
property. They were usually of the
Butternut class who declined to or.
ganize in the militia, and opposed to
war. Wonder how they like Johns
style Of war? Very taking is it not?

GoLD-There is good reason for be-
lieving that gold was the first metal with
which man became acquainted. Its pc
culiar properties render it the best for
the purpose Of being worked by prim-
tive people Gold is the only metal
which is found in metallic state, such
as we see it used in the arts and manu-
factures. The process Of extracting ali
other metals from their matrix or ore is
so tedious and difficult that without gold
|! it is probable our forefathers would have
had no melats at all to use We who
live at this period of the worlds history
can we'll believe how little advancement
could be made in civilization without
metal of some kind Now these quail
tiles which we recognize as metalc in
the highest degree are possessed by gold,
and it is thus we see, even in this single
instance, proof Of the Creators wis
dom, the adaptation Of a means to an
end. Gold, the most easily worked of
all metals, the most imperishable, the
most brilliant, and attractive, was the
first that was given to man. No other
metal could have served the purpose 50
well as the one we find him first pos
sessed Of No wonder gold is typifod
in the Scriptures as the purest metal ;
no wonder that it was chosen as the
means Gin the shape of coin) Of repre-
senting the products Of labor, that man
should select what age after age has
proved to be the most fitting thing for
this purpose AS an assurance to us
that the supply Of gold shall be adequate
to our wants, this metal has been found
in the ratio of the increase Of the human
family. 1t is ditfused over the whole
earth, and has acted as a stimulus to man
to visit regions previously uncultivatea.
The wilds of Australia and California
have thus been peopled in our day in
the same way that the Spaniards peo-
pied South America years ago.-ScPti-

Of $1,000 which he had lent his sister
before she left Onondago. Finding that
Mr. Smith was quito a property holder,

with an affidavit that he was never mar

ever. established, and judgement OF
ovel 5000 obtained. But it was shown
during the controversy that Mr.. Smith
had another wife in Onondago, and q
family Of grown up children. He is
represented as about sixty years old, with

CURIOUS REMAINs.-An interesting
discovery has recently been made at
Pompeii.- In one Of the rooms Of a
house was found heap of silver and
copper coins, 500 or more in number,
which had been tied up in a bag. At
the same time, and near the same spot,
where found two large shears, and a
house-mill of the ordinary description,
together with little heap OF corn, the
grains though blackened and somewhat
shrivelled, fully preserving their shape
and but little diminished in size. On
the next morning the exertions Of the
excavators were rewarded by the dis
covery of an oven, the mouth of which
was closed by large iron door. On
opening the door, there came to view
the entire batch Of loaves such as were
deposited in the oven seventeen hundred
and eighty-thrcc years ago. They were
cight-two in number, and in all charac-
teristics except weight and color pre-
cisely as they came from the baker S
hand. Previous to this time, but two
loaycs had been discovered. These are
circular about inches in diameter,
rather fat and indented evidently with
the elbow in the centre; but they are
slightly raised at the side, and divided
BY deep lines radiating from the centre
into eight segments.

sheds; but the mortality was quite IN
significant, and not a singal case OF glad
ers occurred. The French Government
is now trying some experiments with
respect to the results of the exposure
Of horses to even currents of air, some
of the results having proved Of most
favorable kind. As might be expected,

SALT IN THE MANURE HEAP.-One
Of the most economical articles about
wards and stables is salt. It IS just as
GOOD to feed to the manure heaps as to
pigs and cattle. 1t is best applied in a
weak solution in water with common
watering pot. Whether salt does or does
not supply direct plant food, it at least
prevents the escape Of ammonia, the
most valuable part Ct the manure heap.
This Gas is always leaving animal man
urc. unless there is plenty Of moisture
present, or some agent to absorb 1t.
Salt does this without arresting the de-
composition ofthe mass Seashore farm
ers make large use of sea-weed, with
out fully understanding the philosophy
of it's action. tits carted into the styes
and barn yards several times in the course
Of the wear. and intimately mixed by
means Of the plow with the droplngs
of cattle. Thus all the best parts OF
the manure are saved by the salt, and a
larce addition is made to It's bulk by the
vegetable matter of the sea-weed. These
weeds gathered from the shore are good
manure by themselves, but are still more
valuable when decomposed and saturated
with manure drippings as they pass
through the sty and yard and on their
way to the plowed field or meadow
