The Report of the Transactions of the
Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society

published in an octave volume of over
nine hundred pages 1t contains a great
deal of truly valuable information. A,
mong the important matter are the re.
ports on the Agricultural College OF
Pennsylvania, of which DR.. w. Fl. Allen,
formerly of Girard College, is Principal
on the Organization of Colleges for Agri,
culture and the Mechanic Arts, and the
crops of the United States for 1863
The Agricultural College, which has a
strong body of Professors and teachers,
is in thriving condition, and promises to
turn out every year strong corps of far
mers, fully masters of the practical
science of cultivating the land and max
ing two blades of grass grow where only
one had previously been produced.

Acquittal of Miss Harris.

Miss Harris, whose trial for the muir
der of Burroughs, clerk in the Treasury
Department, has been going on at Wash
ington for the last twelve days, was ac-
Quilted on the 18th inst, after the Jury
had been absent about ten minutes. The
evidence of the murder was conclusive,
and the verdict was grounded ostensibly
on plea of insanity, but really on maw-
kish sympathy for a beautiful woman, who
claimed that she was only seeking re-
venge for a breach of promise of marriage
The scene in the Courtroom on the re-
ception of the verdict was disgraceful.:-,
The announcement was received with
loud applause, the waving of handker
chiefs, and the throwing up of hats
Miss Harris tainted, and was carried from
the Courtroom in the arms Of her coun
sci. Hereafter gentlemen must be care
full in their manner of paying attention;
to ladies, or they will be liable to be shot
at any moment-Northern Eagle

Pugnacious Robins.

A most remarkable instance Of the be
ligerent qualities of the robin, recently
happened in Somerset, Pa. 1t appears
that halfgrown cat belonging to citi
zen, had fancy for killing chickens and
birds A few days since, when puss was
engaged it her favorite amusement some
six or eight robins combined to close hel
career. They attacked her in body, poun
cling upon her with great fury, and plant
ing their beaks into her head with sew
Gritty which caused the cat to indul ge il
frigh.ful screams. Upon the inmates of the
house coming to her assistance, the robins
retired from the conflict, and the cat es-
capped under an adjoining kitchen. MOI
coming out, and rather disagreeable
smell issuing therefrom in few days after
wards, the floor was taken up, and the Cal
found dead with her eyes picked out, and
other evidences of having been severely
dealth with.

Tanning Fish.

A little girl residing near pond in
Massachusetts has succeeded in tanning
some of the fish by throwing crumbs of
bread, crackers, &C., into the water. The
species called perch seem to be the most
tractable and docile One of them often
takes the end cf her finger in his mouth,
while another will glide gently into her
hand and turn on one side, and so re-
main apparently reposing, till raised
quite to the surface. The little girl
walks out on plank sustained few inch
es above the water, and before she reach
es the end of the plank the fish may be
seen darting rapidly toward their feeding
ground The larger ones, especially, are
disposed to drive off the smaller ones, but
she keeps order among them by means of
stick with sewing needle attached to
the end of it, and when one picks quar-
rel he gets a stab, and is off at once

Hard on Sneaks.

No small number of able bodied men
have left the limits of the United States,
or have logged about from town to town
and state to state to avoid the dreaded
conscriptiou. Many of these left family
and property behind them with some in.
defnate idea that they would return and
enjoy both as soon as ''the storm blew o.
ver." In every case these men were sneaks
and towards, who were willing to live
under the forfeiture of that respect from
others which they could not feel for them
selves. A man who is not willing to dare
for the country he lives in and the gov
ernment that protects him, is unworthy of
any of the rights of citizenship and ought
to be tabooed in all decent society
This was the opinion of Congress. On
the Sd of March, 1865, Congress passed
the following:
GAIL persons who have deserted the
military or naval service of the United
States, who shall not return to said SER
vice or report themselves to a Provost
Marshal within sixty days after the pro-
clamation hereinafter mentioned, shall
be deemed and taken to have voluntarily
relinquished and forfeited their rights to
become citizens and such deserters shall
be forever incapable of holding any Office
of trust or profit under the United States,
or of exercising any rights of citizens
thereof; and all persons who shall desert
the military or naval service, and all per-
sons who, being duly enrolled, shall de-
part the jurisdiction of the district in
which they are enrolled, or go beyond
the limits of the United States, with the
intent to avoid any draft into the military
or naval service duly ordered, shall be
liable to the penalties of this section
And the President is hereby authorized
and required forthwith, on the passage
of this act, to issue his proclamation set
ting forth the provisions of this section,
in which proclamation the President is re-
quested to notify.all deserters returning
within sixty days, as aforesaid, that they
shall be pardoned on condition of return
ing to their regiments and companies, or
to such other organizations as they may
be assigned to, until they shall have SER
we'd for period of time equal to their
original-term of enlistment"
The Presidents proclamation in accord
ance with the above was issued March
10th, and the sixty days grace expired on
the 10th of May. Now that the war is
over, hundreds of these poltroons will
come sneaking back as they sneaked "a
way. Let them be marked and not al
lowed to exercise any rights of citizen
ship. They deserve the reprobation Of
every patriot. The country got on with
out them when their help might have
been of some service let us show them
that the country does not want them

Miss Harris, young woman employed
in the Treasury Department at Washing
ton, who has been undergoing trial fo,
the murder of one Burroughs, in
the Treasury Building, has been acquit-
ted The fact that she did kill the de-
ceased, who had broken promise of mar.
riage with her, was not controverted. -
The defence rested mainly upon the as
sumption that the lady was subject to Pc
riodical fits of insanity, arising from her
physical condition. The sympathies of
the Court and jury were manifestly with
her from the beginning, and nobody sup
posed that she would be convicted of.crim

The Unionists of New Jersey held their
State Convention at Trenton on Thursday
last. General Judson Fitzpatrick, of Sus-
sex county, was elected President, and
made a stirring speech. A series of res
olutions fully endorsing the Administra,
ton of President johnson, denouncing
sympathizers with the rebellion and de-
claring in favor of the anti-slavery con-
stitutional amendment, were adopted. A
resolution in favor of black suffrage was
tabled. Marcus L. Ward, A. G. Cattell
and General Fitzpatrick were presented
as candidates for Governor. The nOmi-
ton was given on the fourth ballot to
Marcus L. Ward, who was the Union can
didate three years ago, when Governor
Parker was elected Our Jersey neigh
bors seem determined to put their little
State right on the record next fall.

We may expect to hear of war, short
ly in the vicinity of Salt Lake city. The
Mormons have not only refused to pay
their quota of taxes, but they have never
contributed dollar to the support of the
National Government, nor have they, up
to this date, paid a penny for the lands
which they occupy. In view of these
facts, the Government has resolved to en-
force not only the revenue laws in that
portion of its domains, but it is deter
mined that the Mormons shall pay for
the lands they have appropriated to their
own use.

Bold Robbery.

On Tuesday night last most daring
robbery was committed, by which one of
our citizens lost a valuable team of horses
and wagon. Mr. Abraham Morrell. of
West Jamaica, went to Washington Mar.
ket, New York, with a load of potatoes.
During the night he sold his load and
while in the market settling with the
purchaser man stepped up to his wagon
and speaking to policeman, who was
standing by, said: II thoug ght [ told
that man to take the wagon further up
the street," and Immediately got into the
wagon and drove of, since which time
neither wagon or man has been seen.-
AS soon as the theft was made known.
word was sent to Police Headquarters
and diligent search was Instituted. but
when last we heard Mr.. Morrell had re-
ceived no tidings of the missing property.
This is one of the most bold and daring
robberles that we have heard of in a lone
time
The establishment was valuable ono

"Wait a Little"

Our Democratic friends who are for sup
porting Andrew Johnson because he is "op
posed to the radicals and is 'a good enough
Democrat" for them, appear now to have
much to say about the way he disposed o
the assassins. A little while ago they were
sure he woud blow the Military Commission
sky high, and send the accused to civil
court for "a fair trial" He was TOO good a
Democrat TO countenance the proceedings
brought about by the willfulness of Stanton,
and he was going 10 restore the hdbeas corpus
put a stop to military commissions, and all
that sort Of thing. Wait till it comes the
Presidents turn to act, said they. Well, we
have waited, and we have seen what he has
dcne, and how he did it. If there is sanything
in his manner of doing things that pleases our
Democratic friends in an especial manner,
they have an extraordinary way of appear
ing joyful over it.

EgThe dialogue purporting to hav,
taken place between President johnson
and Senator Sumner, published in the
Democratic pOpers, is fancy sketch en-
tirely. No such a conversation was ever
held. Mr.. Sumner has not been in
Washington since President Johnson took
the cath Of Office. This fact conclusively
refutes the whole story. But the fabri-
cation hardly needed 50 direct a proof Of
Its groundlessness. 1t bore on its face
the marks Of falsehood. Sumner is not q
bOOrish simpleton nor is j johnson wont tc
ape the department Of surly hack dri-
ver-and none but thick-skulled cop
perhead would pin his faith to a story
which presented these gentlemen in a
manner so foreign to their real character

The Minnesota papers give gloomy ac
counts of the ravages of the grasshopper
in that State. Forsaking the prairies
they have recently commenced flying anG
alighting in the timber known as tn,
"Big Woods" and there is every prada
bility that they will pass through and be
yond it, and sweep the southwestern par
of the State. In the counties of Renvllle
Brown, Blue Earth, Nicollet, lie Sieul
and Scott, there will not be an average Of
more than one-half the crops left to har
vest, and hardly be enough vegetables
left for seed. Corn has been less injured
than any other crop, and wheat has suf-
fered most.
In Henderson there is hardly a plant
or weed left, and the naked lots tell sor.
rowful tale of the desolation of the plague
Currant bushes and young fruit trees and
shrubbery of every kind have not only
been stripped of foliage, but of bark also.
In some fields of wheat they have enter
ed they have simply cut straight swath
of several rods width through clean to
the ground, never deviating from di-
rect line, and leaving the remainder un-
touched. They deposit their eggs in
small sacks in the warmest and loosest
earth during August and through autumn
and the number laid by single grass
hopper certainly reaches into ffties or
hundreds. AS soon as the earth warns
in the spring they hatch out-maturing
in about two months, when they strip
themselyes-body and legs-of their old
skin, and come out schooner-rigged and
full sails. The wings at first are very
tender, but forty-eight hours of exposure
prepares them for their journey.
