in a position of defense. ARTHUR /. BORE
NAN, now Governor of West Virginia,
voted for that appropriation. The only
votes recorded against it are those OF Mr..
PORTER, of Hancock county, now de-
ceased, and Mr.. RICHARDSON, OF TINS
city, prominent conservative man.
A. Judge NAT. HARRISON, of the 9Th Ju'
dicial Circuit, now sitting in the sn-
preme Court of Appeals in this city, was,
at the beginning of the war, practising
law in Philadelphia. While there, he
appeared in court for the defense OF GER
tain rebel privateersmen Sho were
charged with piracy. He afterwards
passed through the lines of the armies
and went to Richmond as a Southern
man. His conduct and conversation IN
Richmond induced his acquaintance
there to regard him as a firm friend to the
Southern cause. After remaining there
some time, he returned to West Virginia
and has been somewhat conspicuous as a
friend to the test oath and to sother pro-
scriptiye measures adopted by the legs
lature of this State.
The list might be indefinitely extend
al nv the addition of other names OF
less note, which will suggest themselves
to the reader We mention these, things
not for the purpose of giving offense to
the gentlemen named, nor for the pur'
pose of reproaching them for the part
they bore in the early days Of the rebel
lion. At that time all was excitement
and haste, and surely it was not uanatn,
raj that these mems minds should be
swayed somewhat by the strong current
OF feeling around them, and by the fact
that the best and most eminent men OF
the entire South were enlisted in the Sc
cession movement We mention the
facts to which we have referred, simply
for the purpose ofshowing that these men
at least should deal charitably with
those who engaged actively in the rebel
lion, and should be the last men to con-
sent to any harsh aud proscriptive ac-
ton.

POINTS OF COOP Hoe The mere
name (breed of hog) is not always
q eriterian of its excellence. Early
maturity and tendency to take on
flesh, will do more towards making a
hog valuable, than any other virtue
contained in the mere title of Berk-
shire, Suffolk, &c., for it may possess
more of the valuable qualities of the
breed.
In the true Berkshire, the result
of a cross between the Chinese and
Neapolitan varieties, we find the
nearest approach to desired stand
ard, the chef points of which are as
follows: The breast and loins should
be broad, the bones and joints small
and the legs just long enough to pre-
vert the belly from touching the
ground; the feet should be firm, ev-
en- upright and sound; the hea
shoull be broad and thick; the snOut
short, and ears light, thin and incline
slightly forward.
Nor is the color to be overlooked
in determining the breed of the an
imal. A dark skin and thin hair
shows Neapclita blood wi lite
skin and medium size indicate the
Chinese breed, while light or red
dish hue, with dark spots, denotes
the B rkshire.-Rural American.

LIVE AND DEAD WEIGHT IN SHEE.

LIVE AND DEAD WEIGHT IN SHEEP.
The English rule is to weigh sheep
when fatted, and divide the weight by
seven and call it quarters. Thus, q
sheep weighing one hundred and for
ty lbs, would give twenty lbs., a
quarter as the dead weight. If the
sheep are in good condition, this rule
is sufficient for all purposes. Poor
sheep will fall below the mark, and
extra fat ones 60 over it.

God and man. They were allowed to
prove both by single passage or to re-
peat one text proving his humanity. and
another proving his divinity. After a
number of appropriate passages had been
cited the gentle voice of little girl, an,

A TRAVELLER BADLY TREATED
An Englishman, named George. Russell,
travelling on foot in Arkansas, recently,
was seized by some men whose horses
had been stolen, and who supposed that
the stranger must have taken them.
He protested his innocence, but they
threatened to hang him if he did not in
stantly tell who his eonfederates were.
He still denied all knowledge Of the
matter, and they placed a halter around
his neck, hung him up to a tree, and
cutting him down after he had grown
black in the face, again threatened him
unless he confessed. Again he told
them he could not, and again they
hanged him until he WIS almost dead,
then took him before magistrate, by
whom he was put in prison. He remain
ed there few weeks, was tried and ac-
Quilted, and started ON foot for Memphis.
Tenn, where he was found dead on the
bluff soon after his arrival He died of
want and exposure, the jury said. The
Memphis -4valanche says he was re-
fined gentleman, and having heard glow
ing accounts of Arkansas, visited that
State, but his means giving out, and
no remittances reaching him, he was
compelled to walk andwork his way and
that the treatment he received, and un-
accustomed labor and exposure killed
him.

have seen that they were there to affiliate
with Copperheads and rebel followers and
friends Of Jefferson Davis. I call them reb-
els, because they are as guilty as Jefferson
Davis. And while they were in Convention
attempting to restore the Union, which they
moved Heaven and earth to destroy, Jetfer-
son Davis was in prison, and according to a
letter from his wife, SLOWLY and surely vast,
ing away How do you suppose they feel
or felt on reading thata They thought he
ought to be released, and why didn't they
saw so? say it is a shame and disgrace
that such men, who oughtto be praying God
for pardon of their crimes, who are as guilty
as Davis, should be called to counsel totether
for restoration of the Union. Their hypo-
critical efforts will fail, for God is just.
There will be another Convention IN Phil
adelphia in September. These rebels call
the getters up of it, radicals and traitors. l
do not doubt its radicalism for the Union
and AGAINST traitors. Give US such Conven-
tions-honest Conventions, and the Union
will be restored. l hope to see peace soon

THE Sidney E. Morse of
New York, has just patented curious phi
losophical instrument which he calls ba-
thometer." 1t is intended, as its name i'm
ports, to measure the depth of water every
where, even in the deepest parts OF the ocean:
and it does this with rapidity and accuracy
far exceeding that of any apparatus now in
use for the purpose No line is used, and it
sinks, therefore, rapidly, with little obstruc-
ton from friction. No line being used, its
accuracy as metre of depth is not affected
by currents You throw it overheard with
its appendages in the ocean, where the wa
ter is miles deep. 1t goes down like shot
and as soon as it touches bottom it turns
and comes back to the surfrce. You pick it
up, and the true depth of the water at the
point where it struck bottom is seen on the
scale of the bathometer, just as you see the
degree of heat on the scale of the thermome-
ter.

RATTLEsNAKE CHARMING TURKEYs.-A
very strange andnovel occurrence took place
on the Sinnemahoning, near Wistar, Pennsyl-
vania, short time since, yet its trut hfulness
can be vouched for by Mr. r. w. McCleland
and Others in that vicinity, who were eye
witnessfl.
TIE ..tteneion of resident of that place
OMr, McClelland) was attracted to a yard in
the rear of his house, where large flock OF
turkeys were congregating, uttering wild
and discordant cries, and fluttering in the
greatest CONSERVATION. On approaching, he
observed huge rattlesnake, coiled up, in
the act of charming lordly gobbler of the
flock, who was gliding swiftly in a circuit
with eyes riveted on the CLASSY orbits of his
captor, and gradually approaching its veno-
NOUS Jaws Mr.. McClelland quickly dis
patched the bold intruder, and the turkey
was set at liberty but, strange to record.
with its eyes SO singularly transfixed that it
could not move ahead in direct line, and
as it retired from its vanquished foe, moved
obliquely with stumbling gait. At dusk
on the same day, snake equally as large as
the one destroyed came into the same mans
dooryard. and began calling for his absent
mate, rafting loudly. 1t was summarily
disposed of, and, when measured, was as
certained to be four feet in length, with a
tail studded with sixteen rattles.-[ Bradford

Wednesday evening, was probably the most
elegant and expensive affair of the kind ever
enjoyed by SO large party in this country
When the committee of citizens having

two hundred and fifty, with the direction
that it should be the best that could be got

of tue dinner or wines. We are informed
that the dinner actually cost $25, 900, or one
hundred dollars for each plate. York
