flesh of many of the crew One sailor was selected
as the particular object of his fendishness. He
was laid upon the deck and twelve of the crew
deputed to beat him with straps, ropes and sticks,
under threats of similar punishment for them
selves if they refused Most of those atrocities
were committed by the mate, but in presence of
the captain, who seemed to enjoy it as pastime.
If any of the wretches complained to him he
drove them from his presence with blows and
curses. Men were kicked while at the wheel
One had his teeth knocked out by marling spike ;
another was knocked down regularly every day
with an iron crowbar some other weapon, and
numberless other outrages were committed during
the voyage Of fifty days. When the men arrived
in port they were covered with bruises cuts and
scars from head to foot, and looked more like vet
Grams from the war than the seamen of mer-
chairman. Such was the tale of horror revealed
by the crew of the Cultivator. On their arrival
at this port complaint at once made to the
United States District Attorney, but the mate had
left the vessel and could not be found. The cap
tain, however, has been arrested and held to bail
on the complaint of Durkin, a seaman On shore

ture, Landscape Gardening, The News, etc.,

azine, will be supplied every week with the la
test agricultural matter, the Prices Current, the
news of the day, besides full reports of the de
bates of the American Institute Farmers Club,
and the literary contents, which will render the
journal invaluable to the household. Il will
supply place which is not filled by any paper
published in the Empire City, and we solicit
from the public the liberal patronage which it
will be our assiiuous care to merit.
1t will likewise be our aim to chronicle all
new inventions and imp oyements in the appli-
ances of Agriculture, and present in our COL
umns engravings Of such machines and imple-
ments as promise to be permanently valuable.
