"Marylnnd, MyMnryIaud. ,,

The people of West Virginia will hear
with unfeigned pleasure, that our sister
State of Maryland, has at last shaken off
the shackles that fettered her freedom,
and forever liberated herself from radi-
cal domination. The result of her cleo
tion on Tuesday was the most glorious
triumph of free principles ever
achieved in that State. Four out
of five Congressman, fifteen out of
twenty four State Senators, and fifty
five out of eighty Delegates to the Low
er House of the Legislature are the
substantial evidences of o glorious
Conservative victory and the certain
pledge of perpetual future freedom
from Radicalism in Maryland. West
Virginia will hail this result as signif-
cant of her own speedy deliverance.
Unidentified in sympathy and in interest
with that State, the same systematic
oppression that enslaved Mary
land, has harassed her. Like
Maryland, she has suffered, like Mary
land she struggles, and like Maryland
she will yet be free.
"She is not dead, nor deaf. nor dumb,
She breathes she burns she'll come, she'll
come"
Here, as in Maryland, there will yet
be thousands of hearts made glad by the
final and complete redemption of our
own State from Radical thraldom. Long
years of bitter bondage have aroused in
the breasts of our people, as of the Ma
rylanders, the widest aspirations after
relief from the CALLING oppression that
has crushed them to the earth, and the
day will yet come when those aspira-
tions will be realized, and when the
suffering victims of Radical tyranny
will stand forth "disenthralled. regen-
Grated, redeemed" by the irresistible
efforts ofmen determined to be free.

A CAPITAL story is told of young
fellow who on one Sunday strOlled into
a village church, and during the SER
vice was electrified and gratified by the
sparkling of pair of eyes which were
riyeted upon his face. After the service,
he saw the possessor fthe shining orbs
leave the church alone, and emboldencd
by her glances, he ventured to follow
her, his heart aching with rapture. He
saw her look behind, and fancied she
eyinced some emotion at recognizing
him. He then quickened his pace, and
She actually slackened hers, as if to LEI
him come up with her-but we will per.
nit the young gentleman to tell the resi-
in his own way:
.a"Noble young creaturew thought l.
cher artless and warm heart is superior
to the bond of custom" -
I had reached within stones throw
of her. She suddenly halted and turned
her face toward me. My heart swellet
to bursting. Ireached the spot where
she stood; she began to speak, and
took off my hat, as if doing reverence t'
an angel.

Distressing Casuniify-A Indy Barn
cd 20 Death.

We extract from the Greenbrier Inde-
pendent, of November 1st, the subjoined
account of a sad occurrence at Lewis
burg, West Virginia, on the 25th ult.:
We have never been called upon to
record more distressing and heart
rending calamity than that which oc-
cnrred near this place on Thursday last,
resulting in the death of Mrs. Jennette
C.. Preston.
The particulars of this melancholy
affair, so far as we have come in posses
sion of them, from the most reliable
sources, are as follows:
While Mrs. Preston was engaged In
her domestic duties in her kitchen-be-
| ing alone Mt the time-her clothing
took fire, it is supposed, from the cook
| inr-stove. 1t would seem that the un-
fortunate lady ran first up the kitchen
stairs, and attempted to extinguish the
| flames by jumping into n bed above.
Failing TO obtain relief here, she de-
scendcd the stairs, passed into the nam
building, and assembled another HlBnt
of stairs. Here she seems to have en-
deavored to get blanket from another
he'd. with which to envelope herself,
and finally succeeded, but il was too
late. The smoke caused by the burning
heds-both of which had taken fire
issuinr from the windows, attracted the
attention of Mr.. Robert Toothman, who
was narrowing in an adjoining Held,
and, on proceeding to the house, he
tound il filled with smoke, and the beds
on fire. Having extinguishcd the hre,
he went to another field for Mr.. John
Preston, son of the deceased, who hasti-
" returned with him TO the house. The
l house was still filled with smoke OF SO
dense a character that the body Of Mrs.
Preston was not discovered until one OF
them struck his foot against it. 1t lay
near the door of the room last mention
ed, enveloped in blanket; but life was
4 entirely extinct. Alone, and unaided.
she had struggled desperately, but vain
jly. with the terrible element. In the
nortico of the main building, her shoes
i were found; also her hoop skirt, still
burning. The news Of the dreadful ca
: lamity spread rapidly through the com.
munity, and deep sorrow for the fate OF
the deceased, as well as profound sym.
pathy for her orphaned children and
, other near relatives, mastered every
heart. Her funeral, which was largely
attended, wasipreached by Rev. J. {
Barr, of the Presbyterian Church, OF
Saturday last, after which her remains
were deposited in the Presbyterian
; Graveyard.

Live Cattle Weight by Measure.

The only instrument necessary is q
measure with feet and inch marks upon
it. The girth is the circumference OF
the animal, just behind the shoulder
blades. The superficial feet are obtain
cd by multiplying the girth and length.
The following are the rules to ascertain
the weight of the animal:
If less than one foot in girth, multi
ply superficial feet by eight.
If less than three and more than one,
multiply superficial feet by eleven.
Ifless than five and more than three,
multiply superficial feet by sixteen.
If less than seven and more than five,
multiply superficial feet by twenty
three.
If less than nine and more than seven,
multiply superficial feet by thirty-three'
If less than eleven and more than
nine, multiply superficial feet by forty
two.
Example: Suppose the girth of bull
lock to be six feet three inches; length
five feet six inches; the superficial area
will then be thirty-four, and in accord
ance with the preceding table, the
weight will be seven hundred and eighty
two pounds.
Example: Suppose pig to measure
in girth two feet, and in length one
foot nine inches. There would then bt
three and half feet, which, multiplied
by eleven, gives thirty-eight and hal
pounds as the weight of the anima
when dressed. In this way, the weight
of the four quarters can be substantially
ascertained during life.

er the expectation of such honors moves
MN to emigrate we cannot say, but We
DO think, since the election of the ne
groes, that Boston is the only place where
the distinguished individual to whom
we have alluded will ever be likely to
attain position as legislator again.
We used to think that no other legisla-
ture than that of West Virginia would
suit the representative of "the loyal
people of Ohio county," but now we
are satisfied that Massachusetts, is the
place for him; let him go to Boston; and,
prithee Mr.. H, do 90 at once.

PRODUCTION OF CoPPER.-From sta
tistics recently printed in England, it
appears that the worlds annual total
production Of fine copper is set down at
&C. 900 tons. OF this, Chile produces
about 81, 900 tons. Thisyear the troubles
between Spain and Chile will cause a
deficit of about 1900 tons; and if this
amount is not made up by larger sup
niles from other parts of the globe, the
price of copper must materially adj
vance. 4 glance at the other copper
producing countries does not, however.

tion of copper in the United Kingdom il

remain about stationary. In Australia
the late average Of production Is with

of Lake Superior district is not likely tO
be more this year than last No in

Fattening stock in Autumn.

Sheep or cattle that are intended fol
the butcher, either late in the fall ol
during the winter, should be pushed
with grain while they are eating grass
in the months of October and November
1t is economy to do this. And more
flesh and fat can be laid on with one
buShel of corn during these months than
in the cold winter with dry hay, instead
of grass, for the balance of the food
What is gained at this time of year can
be cheaply kept until the period of mar.
keting arrives.
Fattcning stock frequently suffers and
declines in weight and condition for
lack of sufficient food during the seven
or eight weeks preceding the time OF
yarding or stabling for the winter.
Grass is neither so nutritious nor plen-
tiful as it should be for their good; pas
lures get bare very quick because there
is no growth to replace what is eaten.
The winter weather constantly in
creasing in severity as winter approach
es, sharpens the appetite of the animals,
which on the frost bitten grass they are
scarcely able to satisfy. They are con-
sequently restless; they take much ex-

A flock of wethers might hardly hold

satisfy himself whether such feeding
would be a paying operation.-Rnrdt
