Duty on Live Animals.

Mr.. Morrill, of this district has intro
duced into the House a bin protecting u
very important interest of our farmers,
and at the same time checkmating the
sharp Canadians who have way of run
ming wool into this State without paying
any duty, greatly TO the injury of course
to great farming interest of this coun-
try. Mr. Morrill, briefly introduced the
bill as follows:
Mr.. MORRILL,. viii state briefly the
necessity for the passage of this BILL
When the reciprocity treaty expired we
failed to pass any bill on the subject;
and, therefore, have no duty on live ami
mails, whether imported from Canada or
from any other country. ! am informed
that at the present time the owners Of
sheep upon the other side Of the line are
driving them over into the United States.
and having them kept, proposing that they
shall remain here until after they are
shorn, when of course they can be driven
back. They will be able to introduce
wool into this country without the pay
ment of any duty"

LEWIS CAss The editor of she La

Gen. Cass is still alive, though lis
family have gathered here in daily expec-
tation of his decease. The General is now
in his eighty-fouFh year. He passes most
of his time in sleep, undisturbed. At
rare intervals be wakens up sufficiently to
ask for some of his old friends, who are
sent for, but on arriving, even within the
hour, he is generally asleep again. His
disease is softless of the brain, from years
Of mental lalor in the service of bis coun-
try. He his all the care, attention and
nursing it is possible to give. His family
look upon him with the greatest reverence
and affection, and pray that his last day on
earth may be far distant. At times he is
able to converse quite freely and nationally
with his family, but this is the exception,
not the rule"

Or The most important rol;,;cai ] ~,


tE The most important political event
Of the week is the report of the Recon-
struction committee which will be found
IN another place. The unanimity with
winch the committee agreed upon the re-
port had led us to hope that it would
prove measure upon which the Union
members Of Congress at least would
agree and be entirely harmonious, but
Mr.. Boutwell, of Massachusetts and MIR.
Bingham of Ohio have already offered
substitutes and amendments, and it there
tore remains to be seen whether that IMAM
unity shall prevail among Union men so
important in solving the problem of re-
construction. The subject has been made
the special order for Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday of next week.

Probst, the Murderer.


On our outside win be found an article
relating TO the Deering murder, of which
we gave some accoun, last week, since
which Probst has been tried, convicted
and sentenced 10 be hung, the day Of exc
cution TO be fixed by the Governor here
after. This fend incarnate was found
guilty of murder in the first degree on one
OF the indictments against him for murder
ing eight persons, for the p,ltry chance OF
procuring some fourteen dollars in value.
His counsel made no defence for him in
fact The evidence presluded all idea O. any
The counsel for the government, in his
closing plea, insisted that PrvbSt had no
coadjutor in his horrid crime. Mr.. Dwight
said:
"If there had been two concern,d there
would have been division of the spoils.
There were two pistols, or one tor each
there were two watches, or one for each I;
thele were two shirts, or one for each, if
there were two engaged. But all the
booty is traced TO Probst. No one has
been seen with Probst after he left Deer
ing's and he was arrested alone. Anob-
er fact showing that one person did the
murders is the result of the transaction.
All the wounds are similar; all the wounds
in the neck appear TO be chopped, and all
the wounds 10 the head were done with
blunt instrument. When two individuals
commit a murder, they don't infict the
same kind of wounds; they may agree to
kill, but don't descend TO details"
On Friday, when the testimony against
the prisoner closed, and when it fastened
the murders upon him with fearful GER
tainty, he sat in court the most apparently
unmoyed man there. Once, when a wit
ness, whose vocation is not one associated
will modesty, hesitated in giving her tes-
timony, Probst laughed at her troubles as
If he had been person utterly pneon-
cer ned. In the afternoon, when the sole
survivor OF the Deering family, little
boy named Willie, was examined, the lad
was placed upon chair in order TO be
seen. He was then in plain view of the
spectators. The sight created profound
sensation, and all eyes were directed to
the prisoner 10 ascertain the effect pro-
dueed upon him. No change was percep-
tible, and during the chid's examination
be kept his eye fixed upon him, and his
face wore the same listless air that charac-
terized it when less interesting testimony
was being heard. The populacc, on all
occasions of Probst being moved to and
from the court house, have shown a great
inclination to lynch him, and strong
guard has TO- be kept upon him at these
times. On Saturday morning, as he was
being taken to court, the crowd jeered him
Justify and the officers brought him TO
halt and faced him about so the dense mass
Of people could have view Of him. One
of the officers asked him what be thought
of the crowd, and he replied: g Don't
care for them, they kill me in half min
ute; don't make any difference, got to die !;
they might as well kill me as be hung"

LinOIeulD1.

A substance is now manufacturing from
faxseed called linoleum. 1t is said that it
supercedes Indian rubber-which it very
much resembles, and which it possesses
most of the properties-in the various man
ufactures in which it is used. Like India
rubber, it can be dissolved into cement
and used in the manufacture of water proof
clothing 1t can be used for the coating
of iron or wood or tor coating ship bot
toms. 1t is as good as common cement, hav-
ing properties similar to the marine glue
made from India rubber and shellac. 1t
is readily vulcanized by exposure to heat,
and by this means becomes as hard as the
hardest wood, and capable of fine polish
The variety Of the uses to which it can be
applied in this form will at once suggest
themselves to the reader. Hitherto it has
been made solely to produce floor CLOTH for
which it is well adapted.
