believe that this money so raised will be

To FArrEN FowLs-It is conceded that
the fowls of France are the latest and
whitest in the world The method Of pre-
pairing them for the market is this:
Fifteen days before they are to be killed
they feed them with dough made of wheat
aour Of the previous year, with ten grains
Of salt to every quart OF water, and three
or four small gravel stones to mouthful Of
dough. Twelve hours bef3re they are to
DO killed they should eat scarcely anything,
in order to leave the intestines empty, and
thus avoid the acid fermentation, which
would produce decomposition, and make it
impossible to transport them any distance.
Not feather should be plucked till the fowl
las been thoroughly bled, which is without
cutting off the head. So long as the blood
Is IN circulation, each little yesic!e at the
root OF the feather is filed, and causes spots
lfthis is plucked till it is entirely drained.
If they are killed Immediately after eating,
they will keep only eight days but if they
lave TASTED twelve heus, they viii keep

Hopeful.

The New York Evening Post says the
President believes, as we too believe;
that in the Union, with our Constitution,
with peace and free discussion, there is no
limit to our possible progress as Nation,
no wrong that will not be rooted out, no
class so low but it will be raised Up, no coti-
dition, however deplorable, that will not
certainly and speedily be improved And
believing this, he is not only anxious that
we shall lit once recommence our peateful
march, which was interrupted by the rebel
lion; he is not only confident, from our
past, that the american people will be true
to right and liberty in peace, as they were
in war; but he has a jealous reverence for
the instruments of this progress, the Union
and the Constitution. The one he would
seek by all means to strengthen in the
minds and hearts Of all the people; the
other he would not rashly amend, and he
will strictly construe. "While we hold fast
to these care safe" he cries; /" let, US
have patience, for with them all good things
will come to us in time" Now this idea
is not merely grand-it is true; it is phil
osochically correct; it is sdoh fandamen-
tai principle as bears up just and benef-
Gent policy. It represents, withal, the
feeling which lies deep in the Natic2:a.'aa
heart.
Even those whose sad experience of
mans nature and the works Of his hand,
may regard these buoyant hopes Of the fu-
ture as more rose-colored than reasonable,
must admit that the best instruments for
their proximate realization are, now, the
Union and the Constitution. They are,
indeed, the solitary stars in sky Of politi-
cal darkness.

arrest q superior ,,l2grante delicto, and a
Coroner prepared to stife inquiry at the
Suggestion u authority.
Far be IL from us to intimate the possi'
hility Of Gov. Wells being cognizant, Of the
conspiracy which ended in the assassina-
ton of qriber, or Of having willingly pre-
vented the murderers being brought tojus-
tice. In his message to the Legislature he
did denouhee secret conspiracies against
the peace of the people and the safety OF
the State. AS this assassination is the only
evidence of any secret combination Of the
sort that has yet TRANSFERRED, we prefer to
regard the parties rather as obnoxious to
his deuunciations than rs league n his
confidence. Admitting the ini'ossibility
of the Governor being in the least censrla-
bio in tho premises, what becomes OF the
statement of the Coroners Must it be
squelshed, as the inquest was? Or must
it stand for what it is worth I'm. O Pic
