/ went to President Johnson's recentio,
last evening and 1t filled me with reflections
OF course, my Republican, you are ready tn

OF difference. am going to afllict you with
some OF them. The last time that had stood
in the Red Room was on that April morn;U u
when even the skies were weeping tendar
tears for the murdered President lvine
there at rest, under the grand catafaloue Ar
the gold and crimson walls were swatbed In
black, and great throng were passing nv in
silence, dropping their tears upon the faca Of
the dead. A few weeks before / had nromsn'
aided that room at his last reception. The
White House had never seen a more resplen-
dent occasion. So vast was the multitude
seeklng ADMISSION that the grounds and the
s s were packed with carriages and people
for more than block, who had been hours
waiting for an opportunity to enter and the
windows had to be opened and platforms
suspended nom them, to give egress to the
crowd. And here, where Andrew johnson
now was, stood the good and patient man
with the weary look upon his face, extending
his hand to all classes and nations. These
| two scenes came back most wildly last night,
everything Is so changed Abraham Lin

| GORGEOUS that night in diamonds, plumes, and

remarkable loss, and in the faded pageantry of
white House splendors, can estimate fitly at
last the true sum of human greatness. Here
in the White House are strange faces-and
everything in its season strange.
Last evening was the sparsest reception ey-
er saw. never saw the flowers in the car

| to cry out after the manner of Charles Lamb :
"Where are the faces, the old familiar faces ?''
Where indeed the brave soldiers, the great
| generals, the true republican leaders, who
thronged the presidential levees last winter ?
One thing is certain, they were not there last
night. What is odder still, it would be diff
cult to tell who was there. Resurrected south
erners perhaps, who have come forth to life
once more at the sound of the voice of theii
"Moses." The striking feature of the assem-.
bly, was the absence Of the leading men Of
both parties. If the leading Republicans wers
not there, neither were the Democrats. saw

magnificent receptions OF Mr.. Lincoln, coul,
fail to remark the contrast, the comparative
silence and loneliness of the place.

Leghorn Fowls.
tC0rrespondence q tae ". Il. Farmer. !

Correspondence Qftae ". e. Faymer.l
My experience in keeping the most approv-
ed breeds of fowls enables me to sneak
18th considerable confidence OF the superior
points OF the Leghorn variety, which I am now
rearing In preference to all others. This
Dreed excels IN nearly every respect which
renders fowl desirable, and its faults are not
OF an important character
In color, the Leghorn fowls are pure white.
with yellow or white legs, the former usnalIy
preferred. The most striking peculiarities Of
appearance are the comb and wattles. which
are very large and heavy. The wattIes of the
COCK are long and -pendulous. His comb Is
nigh and serrated. The comb of the hen
hangs over her face, like that OF the Black
Spanish men, out exceeds the latter In size
Inc general characteristics of the Legborn
fowls resemble those of the Black Spanish
sort more nearly than any other, and thew
may be a variety of the latter breed. They
are medium size, full breasted. head and
tail erect, OF proud bearing and nervous tenn
permanent. WA.
The Leghorn hens are Everlasting LAYERS,
and at the same time moderate eaters. They
VIII lay steadily through the winter, even dur
mS coid speus when other fowls hold up on ac-
count OF the severity of the weather. Their
eggs are white and large, weighing from two
and halt to three ounces each. They seldom
or never set, or show any desire to do SO, For
two years have not had single hen which
has showed any inclination to set, and there
tore use the common fowl for that purpose.-
They mature early, and will usually begin To
lay In four or five months. A cock In nv
flock made his first experiments in GROWING at
the age of six weeks. "
70 The Lcghorn fowls should be kent IN a
warm place In winter-as all fowls should in
deed-beca..se in very severe weather their
long combs and wattles are apt to freeze at the
tips, turn black and come of, disfiguring the
looks OF the bird, and endangering its life If
the trouble goes too far. Although these
fowls are fond of liberty, I have succeeded
well with them in confinement. Thew are
notably healthy, and the chickens are NOT
more tender than those of other lght-colored
breeds. During two years have not lost a
single fowl by sickness.
The Leghorn breed is of better flesh than
the Dorking, and does not die off suddenIv
like the Bolton Gray. Its egg Is as large az
that OF the Black Spanish, with the ADVANTAGE
of being always laid at home in its own nest.
The Leghorn fowls do not eat so enormously
as the Brahma Pootra, nor do they occasion
trouble by their broodiness, as the latter fowl
does. They mature very much earlier than
the latter, and lay more steadily and quite as
large an egg
The hens are peaceable in disposition, and
the cocks, when grown, exceedingly spirited
and pugnacious. In points of beauty no breed
will compare with the Leghorn, nor do
know OF any which, with good keeping, Is so
profitable. G. L. STREErER.

One Year Ago To-oay'
April IA. 42OV
The sun rose bright upon tne neius'
One year ago to-day;
The robin piped his early note,
And nature seemed most gay;
Tho young Spring laughed upon the hills,
I'm The brooks their anthems sung,
And Joy, beside the peoples doors CgFET
Her radiant banners flung.
Oh, brightly dawnipg day, How fell
The silence and the gloom
What shadows wrapped thy living hours,
y As IN the rayless tomb
Wherewas the food Of sunset gold,
al ! 4ts. Above the twilight gray
The silver of the evening star
One year ago to-day?
We listened to the joyous bells,
Va - We caught the victor's strain;
Z Ns And blest the power that mid thestorm 4
Had burst the bondman's chain;
Nor saw the shivering hand, appraised
To dash the light away,
And quench the nations brightest hope
AZ One ysar. ago te7dagl. Yss
oh, we had wept, with bitter tears,
Columba's fallen brave,
And sat through long unheeded hours
Beside the soldiers grave;
Had seen, beneath the deathy pail,
.-@ t'1e p Our heroes shut away; stsU sdT
81. But, fold on fold the blackness hung
One year ago to-day!
oh, many smiling morn shall Burst 's
'a- si-'' with joy too bright to last; i'soqu.5
Our nations heart shall weep to see
Her sky with clouds o'ercast;
But never, through the gathering years
OF her prophetic way, 'AAap'J

following, which Francis had declined attend

rain and murky clouds destroyed at once the

amusement was in Francis, and he had shut

IA RoBBERY.-On Wednesday evening

short distance this side of Centralia, on the
Mountain, was attacked and robbed, of over
Fifty Dollars "a cash, by four rufians Mr.
Hicks was in his wagon, returning f.om
down country" where he had sold out his
load Of wares. The villains halted his team,
drew pistols upon him, demanded his mon
ey, and he not making to them satisfacto-
~ move towards producing it, whereupon
two Of the robbers sprang into the wagon
and commenced .rifiing his pockets. They
took from him the above amount in cash,
and notes, against different individuals,
amounting to some two hundred dollars In
their hurry and roughness they tore one
pocket entirely out of his pantaloons, and
nee stopping to unbutton his coat and vest,
they jerked them open, thus tearisg off the
buttons and giving the clothes all the appear
ance Of having passed through rough hands.
This happened in the early part of the eve
ming, when all was quiet and the road very
little travelled After the villains had t'went
through Mr. H, he politely asked them to
let.hiu. have enough money to pay his land
