We welcome you, our Soldier boys; we're
Glad to see you come.
For three long years you've braVely stood
Between the foe and home;
And now with hearts all flowing Ger
With gratitude and love,
For Him who shielded you from harm,
And watched you from above,
Wen kneel in humble grateful prayer,
And thank Him for His care,
In bringing back our Soldier boys,
The joys Of home to share.
But, ahl we win remember, too, and,
Oft viii stop to weep,
For dear ones who can come no more,
But silently will sleep.
OH cherished win their memories be,
Their deeds of love and truth;
They'll live forever in our hearts, our
Country's fallen Youth.
And as we come to welcome you,
And songs of gladness pour,
Well think Of those who early fell,
Who'll come to US no more.
Oh, well 1 know their memories live,
Enshrined within the heart.
We would not deem it weak to know,
The binding tears would start
When thinking Of the one you left,
On MurfreesborO plaini
Who fell amid the cedar woods,
And ne'er was seen again.
And when your mother watched for you,
Beside the cottage door,
HIS, stood in silent grief to know
Her boy would come no more.
And one who fell at Resacs,
And came to US again,
With dark eyes closed in silent death,
One Of our noblest slain;
We know you missed that Comrade dear,
And wished that he could come,
When you were marching on your way
To reach your northern home;
But you can see where he was laid,
And drop one silent tear
For him who fought beside you oft,
In many a conflict, dear.
And now brave boys, We turn TO you,
And bid you welcome home.
We know you've passed through trials,
Sore, and many burden bcrne,
And is it strange that we should feel
So proud Of those whO'ye stood,
Between our homes and Treason's curse,
A wall of human wood2
And is it strange that we should turn
With Ioathing in our hearts,
To Corsards who have staid at home
To act the Traitors part2
Then let the sneating Coppsrhead,
Be getting far away,
They need not think cur soldier boys
Will have them in their way,
Then let them crawl upon the ground
And hide among the weeds.
No wonder they 50 doZettI5 look,
With all their guilty deeds.
Butnever shall the land We lsTe,
Be ruled by Traitor Po1OsT;
We think we see the daWning day
WshOps lis Freedoms hour.
Then never shall the golden link,
That binds s10sst Freedoms spsl4
Be ever loosed BY Traitor hands q.
Chained IN their native heHi
Then shall our brave defenders be repaid
For all their pain,
For then our Stars and Stripes shall float
Ger every hill and plain.

Murder winout.n

A case is now under examination
in Albany, New York, which shows
what trivial circumstances lead to the
detection of the secret murderer.
Owen Thompson, a cattle dealer Of
New York, accustomed to purchase
in the Albany Market, usually carries
on his person $4,000 or $5, 900 on his
visits there. On the 18th Of fSeptem-
Der he had been engaged all day at
West Albany, but had made no pur-
ehases. He went out in the evening
with a stranger to look at some cattle
that had come from Saratoga, and
were placed in the remote pens in the
market. Next day at sunrise he vas
found dying, his head broken with a
slung shot, it is supposed; his money,
S1,5OO and a check for $1,000 gone.
Who had done the deed? Who vas
the stranger that had taken Thomp-
son off to show him the cattle? A man
with slouched hat bad been seen with
Thompson. He had bantered him
about betting, and offered to stake
thousands upon Lineoln's election.
Thompson offered to put up any
amount on the other side. He pro-
duced his Well-stufed wallet, and it
was noticed the stranger stuck to him
all day after this.
One of the drovers, Center. of
Tribes Hill, recollected the man who
had asked him, 'sDidn't you keep bar
somewhere? Havn't I seen YOU be-
fOre? But though the magistrates
Of Albany offered a reward Of $500,
and the drOvers added $1,000 to it,
there was no clue to the murderer.
A month afterEard, as the drover
Center was riding in the cars to Sche-
nedtady, he fell into conversation with
a passenger, who, after a few brief
words, abruptly asked him, 'SHaYn't
you kept bar someWheFes (? Havn't
1 seen you before p Eyes" was the
reply, 81 must have seen you at Vest
Albany. The passenger denied this,
but Center replied, eyes, I am sure,
and l arrest you as the murderer Of
Thompson" The mans slouched hat
had been replaced by another, his mus
tache had disappeared, and his dress
was different. 1t was the question,
the accent, the tone of voice, that Wers
the marks of Identification.
After the arrest, other proofs came.
Gordon, the man arrested, had been
spending money Recently with great
freedom. He had paid two bills Of one
hundred dollars each on the Park Bank
at which Thompson had dealings. He
was a shifless, dishonest man. He
had carried a bad character into the
army; and made it worse there. He
was traced 20 Schenectady the night
Of the murder, and probably rode to
the depot, after the crime, and took
ths train. The servant girl, the black
barber, and others, at the Drovers'
Hotel, identified him with more or less
But not upon this sin
gle thread alone did justice dependfor
its clue. There was gathering about
Gordon web woven by his own guilty
hands in which he soon would have
been involved. Many eyes had watch
cd him before his crime, and not few
his traces afterWard.

Feeding Qualities of on-cake.


DR.. MACADAld, in lecture on the feed
ing qualities of Oil-cake, makes the follow
ing remarks:
The ordinary food Of stock, consisting Of
grass, hay, and turnips, is very bulky in
Its nature, and contains a small per centage
Of Aesh-f forming ingredients, accompanied
by large proportion Of heat-produciDg
constituents, and refuse matter. The di-
gsstive system Of the sheep and the OK are
especially designed for making the'best
use of such food, but the fattening process
proceeds slowly unless an admixtute of
richer food be given. The oiI-cakes, which
are now so extensively consumed BY stock,
supply in small bu.k, and with compare
tive little trouble to the animal, large
amount Of flesh and fat-forming ingredi-
ents.. The feeding qualities Of Oil-cako
are mainly dependent on the albuminous
compounds to the extent of twenty to
forty per cent Of oil, but besides these
there is a large amount of starch and
woody fiber along with a little sugar and
gum, and saline matter, phosphates (the
principle in bOnes.y In short we have
present in an oil-cake, the important feed
ing properties Of the ordinary food Ofan-
imals in a concentrated form, and readily
capable, when partaken Of by the animal,
Of becoming flesh and fat One Of the
greatadvantages Of feeding stuff with the
composition Of an 6il-cake, is the presence
of 50 much ready formed oil

MAJOR-GENERAL DAVID II. BIRNEY.
We are gratihCd in being abo to-day to present
our readers with an excellent likeness of General
BHney-a Phiadelphian Of whom We are proud,
aud one who takes rank with Hancock, Meade,
HeilI, and other distinguished military leaders
from this city. General Birney was born in
Alabama, and Is now in the prime OF life.
He was the son Of rich planter, James b. Bir-
ney, who, although Sou;herner by birth, aud
STAKEHOLDER, became radical abolitionist He
carried his political creed into practice by comug
to Ohio aud emlncipating his slaves. He vas II
Presidential candidate in 1874, when Henry Clay
was the Whig nominee, and is said to have de-
fcatGd the election of the latter by dividing the
Whig party. Clay aud Birney together had
popular majority Of more than twenty. four thou
sand. General Birney was doing business in
Philadelphia when the present war began In
August, 1861, he took the field as Colonel Of tho
23d Pennsylvania Volunteers. Prom Colonel
Birney was steadily promoted until he was ap.
pointed Major General. He commanded a
division in the ID Corps of the Army Of the
Potomac previous to assuming the command o.
the 10Th Corps.
General Blrney has proved 70 be a military
genius in this war. and has been uniformly sue
cessful in all his eng sements. lie has gained
the respect of his commanders and tho love of
his men, by his soldierly bearing, bis bravery,
and his great ability. His last victories were those
gained at Deep Bottom aud Darbytown during
the present month.

Tho generally received opinion that most
malignant diseases are the result Of the develop
ment within the blood Of certain animal or yege-
table germs, has lately received confirmation by
the Inquiries Of NJ. Dayaine, a French Sapqr, who
procured a quantity Of the pus from malignant
pusule and placed II under the microscope,
when It presented thousands of those vegetable
forms known TO botanists as bacteria. To assure
himself that no mistake had Deen made, he dried
the remainder Of the liquid and introduced it
into the blood of an animal, aud the latter was
attacked by disease of the spleen aud died IN five
days. An examination Of its blood showed
numerous bacteria.
