LAW AGAINST WEEDS.

In Denmark the farmers are bound BY
law to destroy the corn -marigold; and in
France a farmer may sue his neighbOr
who neqlects to eradicate the thistles mp
on his land at the proper season. In
Australia similar regulation has been
imposed by the legislative authority, with,
it is said, the most benfcial results. In
Canada, we believe, enactments have been
issued against allowing thistles 10 ripen
on the road sides, and exposed situations,
both from the legislature and township
corporations; and it is passing strange
that such beneficial regulations, o. tho
proper observance Of which, both pri-
vate and public wealth is SO deeply de-
pendent, should in many districts become
paraetioally imperative. lt is high time
that some 6Fm stand should be taken,
not only against thistles but against pig
con weed, and the whole tribe Of penta Of
this nature, forming, as they do, lnsu-
perable barriers to agricultural progress,
consequently to the increase OF wealth
and national prosperity. Canadian Ag-

| The country Is full of swindlers, and
/ they ply their vocation with an ease that
/ astOnlshes many people. They are called
| confidence men, and they well may be
inasmuch as so many people place conf
dence in them. This sWinding does not
astOnish US, and never did. Whoever
heard tell of a person who reads the
newspapers, being sWindled We qUes-
ton II many, or any, cases of the kind
can be found But those who are too
penurlous to take a neWpapeT, are the
ones who get their "eye teeth cut" by
the confidence men. In Muskingum
county, few days since, two men In diff
terent parts of the county, were diddled
out of the sums of $500 and $3.50, by two
swlRdlers. In the latter case, the fellows
we're arrested and the money returned.
The money was borrowed, and worthless
articles left in pledge for it.
Not long since several farmers were
done for" by confidence men selling
churns. The farmers gave their notes
tor the churns but never got them. Or
course the swindlers sold the notes, and
got the money. but the green ones never
got the churns.
In Chicago, not long since, a green fel-
low from the country, lost the snug sum
OF $500 by TepOsing too much confidence
in an entire stranger.

AslHaulAR ADVENTURE.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch says. shat on
last Tuesday evening one of the railroad
employees of that place, on opening a car
loaded with dressed hogs, which had been
shipped from Chicago on Friday morning
of last week, was shocked to find man
lying among the dead animals He was in
a filthy condition, and was almost dead,
having eaten nothing for five days One
foot was frozen, and he was unable to
walk or even stand. He was taken out of
the car aud properly cared for. When he
had recovered sufficiently, he stated that
he was a discharged soldier. and finding
himself in Chicago without means, and
being anxious to reach New York, he vis-
tied the freight depot for the purpose of
discovering what chance there was for
stealing passage to New York He
was told that the car containing the hogs
would go directly through, in the shortest
possible time, and seizing an opportunity
to slip into the car unseen, he did so, and
had not waited long until he heard the
door showed forward and the lock fasten-
ed. Here he remained for five days and
nights, and being without water or pro-
visions, tits a miracle he did not perish
before reaching that city.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

-f A shorti.time since Mr. Todd, residing
on Bear Creek, half mile northwest Of
Paris. Jennings county, Ind, eighteen
miles from this city, sold his farm for
$500. On Wednesday last, 9TH inst,
at the hour of two o'clock in the after
noon, Mr.. and Mrs. Todd, having ocea-
sion to 60 out into the field for a short
time, left the children In the house to-
gether. There we're three of the chill
dren, aged respectively two, four and six
years. The parents of course suspected
no danger, and all their money, &c, was
left in the house. In half an hour. how
ever, they returned, and were horror
stricken to find all three Of the children
stretched upon the floor as if in a dying
condition, and weltering In their blood
Immediately giving the alarm to their
nearest neighbOrs, it spread until the
people of the entire vicinity were out, in
arms, on horseback, securing the coun-
try in search of the hell-deserving au-
thor of the horrible crime. The suppo-
sition is that the primary object of the
tiend in human shape was robbery; but
after taking the money and such other
valuables as he wanted, he feared, perhaps,
that the eldest child might be a witness
against him, and therefore deliberately
knocked them all three in the head Mr.
| Hammel stopped at the house of mourn
| ing after the occurrence. He says he
| found the children in horribly manRled
condition, and the attendant physician
/ had given it as his opinion that neither Of
| them could recover.

meeting has been held to take his determina-

offered the following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted: .--
."Whereas, his Honor, Judge A. P. Aldrich

consequence of the Interference of the militia

citizens thereof, and white residents not con-

risdictions of said court; And whereas, the

preSsly forbidden to exercise the Jurisdiction

"Resolvcd, That the refusal Of the Judges
to exercise the jurisdiction permitted them is
not warranted by the circumstances, would be
subversve Of order, encourage lawlessness and
crime, dsappoint the just expectation of our
people, shuts the door of justice against cur
own citizens, and ifpersisted in generally will
tend to an extension of the jurisdiction of the

"3d. That while entertaining personally

Gen. kersbaw, and the two members of the

the law is administered, the worst results
may be expected in every shade and form oI

The Legislature evidently intended that the
Courts should be promptly opened, and the
law enforced. The election of Judges and
Chanccllors proves it conclusively. Heavy
taxes were also levied to pay these Judges
their salaries. H. 49, " -. .-.-- ..
