when there is little else to do, when the
boys are preparing for haying, as it were
"bctwizt hay and grass" We would see
more of it sowed. In the West it is a
great crop and should be here, for it is a
sure one. We prefer that kind of this
grain known as India Wheat, as being
more hardy and more prolific. As green
manure it is invaluable, and we hope to
see any amount of it sowed the coming
season for manure. Two crops of it can
be plowed the coming season, and the
ground thus MANFRED will be productive

DOCKING LAMBS.

The usual manner of docking young
lambs is very unfarmerlike and rude
way of performing such common surgi-
cal operation. We allude to the practice
of stretching out the tail while the lamb
is standing on his feet, and cutting it Oft
at one stroke of the knife, and throwing
salt on the wound. The objections to this
practice are: srs.e-..s... sa- q
BY stretching out the TAIL it is frequen-
tly cut SO short that the hind end OF the
sheep will appear as if the tail had been
cut off and the stump drove up; and as
soon as the tail is severed, the skin and
flesh recoil, leaving the bone to entend be-
youd the skin, thus making it far more
difficult to heal. There should be left q
sufficient length of sleeps tail 10 protect
the small portion Of the body that is not
covered with wool.
Our mode of docking lambs, which we
feel to be superior to any other that we
have ever seen practiced. is to saw Oft a
LOG about one foot in diameter and two
feet long, and place the lamb on its rump
on one end of the log, one person holding
the hind legs back close to its body while
be holds the lamb. Now, with sharp
two-inch chiscl, cut off the fail at one
blow by using mallet, or one hand for
driver instead of mallet.
If the cishel is sharp, the operation
will be neatly done, and the skin and flesh
will not recoil, leaving the end of the bone
bare. .-...
As the wounds will sometimes bleed pro-
fusely, scar the end of the stump of the
tail with red-hot iron. This will not
hurt lamb half so much as it will be
injured by excessive bleeding. Soaring
will stop the blood at once; and the
wounds will heal much sooner than if
not scared. small fire can be made
with few chips near the sheep.pen, and
the bar of iron kept in the FIRE when it is
not in use.
A piece Of tin or sheet iron, about
foot square, should be held between the
lamb and the hot iron, SO that other parts
Of its body may not be burned when the
animal struggles. Much care should be
exercised in using the hot iron, not to burn
the end of the tail but a little. An in
Simultaneous touch of the hot iron will
cauterize the blood-vesses sufficiently to
stop the bleeding. After this, apply a
small quantity of gas-tar to the cauter-
lied part, to repel flies, which would 9th
erwise deposit their eggs in the wounds.

THE FIRST CONFLICT We notice the fol-
lowing interlude in the proceedings of the
Convention of Soldiers and Sailors (Radical)
now in session in Pittsburg:
Major Wilson, of Indiana, said he observ-
ed the delegates from Virginia and Kansas
sitting side by side in the Convention. 1t
would be remembered that the first fighting
of the conflict just ended occurred between
these two States at Harper's Ferry. In or
der that the humble individual at the White
House might have something to shed tears
over, he suggested three cheers for Virginia
and Kansas
A Delegate gu make them hug.
Major Wilson-Yes, I move that they
take hug.
The Chair-Major Wilson moves that, for
effect, laughter the humble individual at
Washington may have cause to shed tears,
the representatives of Virginia and Kansas,
who took part in the first conflict, De greeted
by the Boys in Blue"
The motion was carried, and three cheers
were given for Virginia and Kansas.
Here we have the confession that the John
Brown raid into Virginia was the initiation
of the late war And such is our own opin-
ion What, then, becomes Of the ten thou
sand times-rcpeated allegation that the South
was the aggressor, and causelessly and wan
tonly plunged the country into war?

In these days, Convention seems to be
the generally accepted plan for accomplish
ing everything. We have had National
Union Convention. a Loyal Southerners C0
Convention, and two Soldiers and Sailors
Conventions and the Memphis Appeal pro-
poses now ga Convention of the people Of
the South, by duly elected delegates, to meet
at some central point, and qualified by an
immediate commission from the people to ex-
press their sentiments and vindicatc their pol
icy and purposes from the foul aspcrsions
heaped upon them by the travelling adventu-
rers hailing from this section, and now on a
pilgrimage through the Northern States,
awakening by their SANDERS and falsehoods
the most intense luminosity against us"
We rather like this proposition, for, be-
sides the travelling Loyalists q from this
section we have had set of men sent among
us to dish up.falsehoods to suit Radical tastes,
the effect of which we can more effectually
oblitcrate by one common expression from the
South than in any other way
We think, therefore, that the proposed
g Southern Convention could be made a
good thing, in which the people of the South,
through their delegates, might express can
didly their views and determinations, not in
the style of +" dirt eaters" nor yet with men
aces, but plainly, frankly, forcibly and in
language not to be misunderstood or miscon-
strued, which, if it did not carry conviction
to the Northern mind, would, at least, ex-
onerate our people from the many base and
slanderous charges 50 frequently made against
them.

Horrible Murder.

We publish below the particulars, kindly
furnished US by friend, of the cold blooded
and horrible murder of Jno p Eubank, Of
this county, which occurred about the 18th
of September, in the State of Ohio, near the
Ohio River.
Jno. I. Eubank, nephew Of Col. r.
Turk of this county, went to the Burning
Spring Oil Wells of Writ, with team be-
longing to his brother R. P Eubank and
himself. He had been doing well, and, as
was believed, had made money. Some time
about the 18th ult., he was employed by a
man of the name Of Bumbgardner to 20 with
his team to some point in Ohio, under the
pretence Of moving family to the wells.-
They passed down the Virginia side of the
| Ohio to point seven miles below Parkers-
burg and crossed into that State IT'S sup
posed that Bumbgardner took advantage of
his victim in some way, as Eubank was an
unusually stout and resolute man. Perhaps
he attacked him while asleep. His body was
found some days after floating in the Ohio,
acithout the head, which so far as now known,
had not been recovered The fact of his hav-
ing been murdered was made known in this
wise: Capt. Elijah Bateman Of this county
who had gone out with team about the
time Eubank did, had suit with some one.
and Eubank was his witness He, not being
aware of Eubank's absence, applied to his
lawyer, man by the name of Robinson, to
know the status Of his law-case and was en-
quired Of as to what witnesses he had. He
mentioned Eubank as one and took out a
subpoena for him, and on enquiring where he
was, learned he had gone, as before stated,
with Bumbgardner. Presently the body
was found and, on investigation, it was
identified as Eubank's, and it was fur
Their ascertained, that Bumbgardner had bor-
rowed skiff of man of the name of Hill,
perhaps near the point at which they crossed
the river, under the pretence of going out in
to the river to take wash. Since that time
Bumbgardner and the team are missing =
The presumption is he murdered Eubank for
what money he had and his team. He has
been pursued and it is hoped and believed will
be brought to condign punishment. Capt.
Bateman with others was in pursuit. He OBJ
first telegraphed to Capt. Peck of this place
the fact of the murder, and Mr.. Robinson,
the lawyer mentioned, since wrote to Mr.. R.
P Eubank, the particulars above given.
Mr.. R. P. Eubank left here this morning,
TUESDAY, for Parkersburg. Seldom have
we had to record a more fendish and cold
blooded murder.
The deceased was the second son of Mrs.
Amanda Eubank-the only daughter of the
late Capt. JAS. Turk. He was a good SOL
der, member of the Churchville Cavalry,
and, besides his heart stricken mother, has
left an only sister and two brothers. nu-
merous relationship and many friends to
mourn his sad fate. May merciful God
soothc them in their unusual sorrow, and an
avenging God infiet on the vile assassin a
Just retribution for his crime.
