Confederate Graves,

We are pleased TO see that the lot
of ground adjoining the Canton Gem
etry, in which 50 many Confederates
now sleep their last sleep, is being
handsomely enclosed, under the SIT
pervision of the committee appointed
some months ago to secure funds for
that purpose, and to attend to its
proper disbursement. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. S. l.. Mosby gen
erously donated the land to the
county, and the money contributed
BY the citizens can all be expended
on the incloSure. 1t would be well
if new headboards could be provided
and properly marked with the name,
company and regiment of the deceased.
We have no doubt that full intOrma-
ton could be obtained on that score
from Mai. Hillyer. lately stationed at
this point in charge of the hospitals.
1t is our duty to see that these
graves are properly cared for. The
government which these soldiers en-
deav0red to establish has been over
thrown-its chief men imprisoned or,
gone into voluntary exile; III, NUM-
ticent and gratef"u Mon is left to
for them national cemetrieS,
and to provide watch and sentinel to
guard their rest, and so it is left to
private and individual enterprise to
commemorate their names and me
and preserve their resting
places from shame and oblivion.

takes away the punishment it still leaves the
disabling consciousness Of the alleged offence
operative. But this is contrary to the dccla-
gations of the law. This announces that the
effect of the amnesty is to re0l0re n0t 0aly tic

it's own demonstraticn.
And to the same purport are all the authorl-
ties. Bishop, III his celebrated treatise on
the criminal law, says: The effect of a full

gal consequences of his crime and Of his con-
Ticton, direct and collateral, including the
punishment, whc her Of imprisonment, pccu-
mary penalty, or whatever the law else pYO-

of all consequences of his charged offence h05

February, attended with a loss of nearly
$4,000, 600, making about So, ,000,0 600 for the

the loss was less than $4,000 at each fire.
The marine losses for the same time aggro
gate S., 600, 900, and the losses by steamboat

Recipe for Cheap Paint,

Eleven pounds of dry lime, sifted fine gallon
of water, gallons of linsced oil-raw or boiled
one-fourth Id. ofpotash dissolved in pint of wa
ter, which can be easiest done by heating in
kettle over the fire. First mix your lime and wa
ter, which will appear much like thick hasty pud-
ding; then add your oil and potash water. Mix
thoroughly, and if the oil and water unites it is
ready for use; ifnot, a little more potash water
must be added to cut the oil. Use no more pot
ash than is necessary for this purpose. Put on
with paint brush, as other paint. 1t will ap-
pear much thicker than ordinary oil paint, but it
will lay easy in this condition. The writer of
this has painted for twenty years, and for the last
three years has used this preparation on first class
houses, and but few persons can see any delicien-
cy in it. 1t wears well, and costs less than half
as much rs oil paint.

PRESERVING HAMS THROUGH SuMNER.-The fol-
lowing method ofpreserying hams through the
summer in the Southern States has been sent TO
us by n friend residing there, who says it is re-
garded as the best method ever adopted. BY It
hams can be preserved for years, indeed, just as
long as anybody wants 10.
''MaFe number of cotton bags, little longer
than your hams after the hams are we'll smoke d
place them in the bags; then get the best kind of
sweet, well made hay, cut it with knife, and
with your hands press it well around the hams in
the lag; tie the bag with good strings put card
of the year to show, their age, and hang them in
the garret or some dry room, and they will be
better for boiling than on the day you hung them
up. This method costs but little, and the bags
will last forty years. No flies or bugs will trou-
ble the hams if the. hay is well pressed around
them; the sweating of the hams will be taken up
by the hay, and the hay will impart fine flavor
TO the hams. The hams should be treated in this
way before the hot weather sets in."- German

A Touching Anecd0te.

The following anecdotc OF the Rev. DR..
bently, well known among the clergy of
olden time, is given by a CORES espondent
OF the Salem Register.
One night. at a late hour, the doctor was
disturbed at his studies by rafting sound
among some wood, which. sawed and split
Tor his study fire, had been left out by the
teamster, the afternoon previous, too late
to be properly housed. lie arose, went
to the window, and saw a woman filing
her apron with wood, which she hastily
carried away. Shortly after the same
noise occurred, and ON looking out second
time he saw similar operation, the woman
lilling her great apron to the utmost limits
of its capacity. When she had gone he re-
turned to his book with tender pitv in
his heart for destitution which sought
relief in this, drcary, not to say sinful
manner. by and by he was startled BY
a heavy crash of fall n. wood, and hurry
ing up to the window beheld the poor
woman casting the very dust of wood from
her apron. lie remained motionloss, his
gentle heart filed with commisseration
She swiftly departed and soon returned
heavily ladcned with wood, which she
threw on a pile, as lift were indeed the
"accurscd thing The Doctors compass
sion and curiosity were now intensely excl
ted. He followed her retrcating fig ure
till he discovered her residence, and then
aseertained who she W s. sWha she was,
was no mystery to him. The last hour
had shown him her virtues lofty height.
lie called early the next morning on Mr..
b., the wood dealer, and directed him to
send half cord of his best wood, sawed
and split to Mrs -, but by no means to
let her know from whom it came, which
was readily promised. Mr.. BIS tcamstcr,
who happened to be within earshot, was
not so bound, and when he had tipped the
wood into the widows yard, replied to her
eager inquiry who had sent it, by relating
the conversation he had heard. ...
The conscience-stricken woman, feeling
that her sin and repentance, in the lonely
darkness of that midnight hour, were un-
dcrstood by another heart besides her own,
fastened without delay to the house of the
benevolent man, to express her gratitude
and sorrow, and with deep humility and
bitterness, told him the temptation to which
her extreme poverty had reduced her, of
breaking the eight commandment. "Sir."
said she, though my house was dark and
cold; though my heart was wrung with
anguish at the sight of my poor, shivering
little ones, | could not keep it, my consc-
ence would not let me- ''Say no more,
my dear madam" said the good man,
Il saw it ALL saw you conquer the devil
in two fair fights" ..
