likewise with the natives" and did not

INTEREST,
Terrible and swift Justice.

A few days since, Mrs. Heady, who lives
in Union county, Ky, had sold her land and
received some eight hundred or a thousand
dollars cash. A day or two after she had
received the money travelling stranger call
ed late in the evening and desired to get
lodging for the night. The lady declined,
but the stranger insisted, and Mrs. Hcady
consented to let him remain over night At
the usual hour of retiring the stranger pro-
ceeded to bed. Late in the night he was
aroused by the lady of the house, who told
HIM that there were three or four persons
t ying to break into the house, and she be-
lieved they were robbers, who had come there
for the purpose Of trying to rob her Of her
money. The stranger arose, seized his pis-
tol, and told her to go down stairs and open
the door, and to get behind the door as she
opened it, and he would defend her. Placing
himself so that he could see by the light of
the door when any one entered--he gave
the word-the lady opened the door. and in
rushed man who no sooner placed his foot
on the door sill, than he fell dead by bullet
from the strangers pistol. a second man
rushed in and fell dead by the second shot
The third appeared and was severely wound
ed by the third shot, and turned and run off
leaving a trace of blood behind him. The
men who had been killed were BACKED, and
when the blackening had been washed off
their faces, Mrs. Heady recognized with
horror her own son-inlaw as one of the men,
and the other was a near neighbor and friend
1t was believed that the mounted man was
her own SON. We did not learn the names
of the parties killed, nor that of the stranger,
who providentially appeared to save the old
lady, her money, and perhaps her life. -Oac-

MUSCULAR LABOR.

The following article, says the N. Q
Times, is from the American Artisan,
most excellent and reliable mechanical
and scientific Journal This subject should
engage the attention of the farmers OF
the South at this particular juncture,
when labor is very difficult to procure
AID more difficult to control when OBJ
tanned. Let us look at some of the ad
vantages which the Northern farmer has
over the Southern in the way of improved
agricultural machines and processes.
Several years since we visited two mar
ket garden farms near Newark, New
Jersey, one of which was cultivated by
the distinguished Professor Mapes, and
was worked on the scientific plan. BY
the aid of rotary srader and the sub
soil pillow, the earth was thoroughly pull
verified to the depth of sixteen inches,
thus causing the air to freely circulate
deep in the cool earth, and deposit its
moisture around the roots of the plants,
and efiectually guarding against the severe
drouth then prevailing His neighbor's
crop was comparatively failure, for the
reason that he had plowed but six to
eight inches, aud the soil becoming
heated to that Gepth during the day,
could not condense sufficient moisture to
feed the plants, and he obtained but four
hundred bushels of carrots to the acre,
whilst the Professor obtained twelve
l.
worked altogether with the hoe, and re-
quired one man TO the acre. The Pro-
fessor invented suitable tools and used a
mule, and cultivated seven acres to the
hand The mule, therefore, did the
work Of six men, thus increasing the
productive capacity of farmer No. six
fold
Let us compare the present method OF
cultivating corn North and South.
The farmer North hlthes from two TO
four mules or horses 10 sort OF snlky-
plow, having from two to six plows at
tached, and pulling lever he lifts the
plows from the ground and rides to the
field. By the lever he can gauge the
depth he wishes; getting to the end OF
the field he raises the plows, turns
around, aud thus, with but little expend
iture of muscle, he drives and whistles
the ige-!ong day, and accomplishes, in
breaking up, three times as much as he
could by following the pillow.
When he comes to plant he attaches a
planter and from four to six plows, and
ridgers, and plants from eight to ten
acres per day. The scrapers are then
added and be cultiyates the same quenti-
