4ll FEEDING MEAL TO STocK.-7I. believe
there are few, at least, who feed from
four to eight quarts Of meal alday to one
beef creature, till they feed from, seven <
to ten hundred weight Of meal to one
beef, and who never slaughter an ordinsl
sized beef, that yields upwards Of forty
pounds Of rough tallow. These farmers
feed their meal dry. ThisiS great
waste. Ny practice in fattening bsef and
swine, as well as feeding COWS for milk,
has been to pour boiling water on as
much meal as would not make the ani-
male bowels move too freely, at night,
and in the morning, when the muSh 10
cool, giveit to the cow or pig. In COW
ering the meal with boiling water in this
way, the starch of the grain ID dissolved,
and the latent nutritive properties ex-
tracted, and the animal receives the ems
tire nutriment of the grain.--ErchGnSe. =

Daring Outrage In N. Carolina

Not long since gang of negroes went to
the house of Samuel Ellit, Jones County
and robbed it of almost its eutire contents
under the following circumstances Mr.. Ellit
and his family were at supper in an apart
ment of an out-building used as kitchen.
The negroes crept up upon them, and the
first intimation the family had Of theirpres-
ence was on being ordered to surrender and
seeing two guns pointed at them through
the half closed door, The door was then
fastened upon the family, aad a guard hav-
ing been posted, the rufians proceeded to
the house and robbed it Of everything Of
value. The plunasr was cody stacked in
the yard for transportation, guard was put
upon it, and then an order was issued to the
pent zip inmates Of the kitchen to cook ra.
tons for the robbers. This they had to do;
and when cooked it was passed out to them
through an opening in the wall, and when
devoured the negroes quietly departed with
the plunder, leaving Mr.. Ellit again dcsti-
tute, for this is the second outrage perpe-
trated upon him.

A NOVELTY IN THE ART OF
NAVIGATION.

Yankee skill is pcrpctually at work de-
vising and perfec,ing ingenious contrivances,
both useful and ornamental =. Ta..;;a :.2
world maryels and stands aghast with ad-
miring awe; and when it is supposed they
have reached the acme of their sublime in
venting power, the entire universe is again
startled with the announcement that the in
domitable Yankee has discovered something
thoussnd.fold more wonderful, than was
ever before dreamt Of in mans philosophy.
The latest invention Of this kind that is our
province to chronicle is Of the nature Of
piece of marine machinery, but which will
obviate the necessity of steam, and will at
the same time do away with the masts, thus
discarding the sail, proper and yet receiving
the motive power from four fans Or sails Of
canvas; in short, the invention is nothing
more nor less than windmill ship,
machinery Of which is very simple and
easily kept in repair
An upright tower, seven feet in height
from the deck, composed of wood and hol-
low in the middle after III, fashion of pump,
contains an iron rod, which is attached to a
revolving head on the top Of the tower, and
running through this pump or tower to q
cross bar resting across the keelson, where,
by the means Of two mitre wheels working
a. direct angels, direct acting shaft is made
to turn an ordinary shaft is made to turn an
ordinar; propelling wheel. The rod is con-
fined to its proper place in the centre Of the
tower by means of journals. Gaping the
tower are two mitre wheels working on the
revolving head, and through this head passes
the counter shaft to which the windmill is
attached. These fans furnish the motive
power, and are composed Of four oak frames
in the form of a common window frame, the
space in the centre being occupied with
canvas, working an iron rod, which by means
of halyards leading to the decks can be reef.
ed at will. A reversing motion is obtained
from double wheel on the propelling shaft
and working ty clutch leading aft to the
coc's-pit. An iron rod leading from the
| revolving head to the deck, and held there
by set screw, and working on segment Of
circle on the deck, enables the navigator
to lay her as close to the wi nd as any ordi.
nary sailing vessel
The credit Of this invention belongs to
Captain John Powell, native Of Brooklyn,
who is now engaged in building small YES
sci, about the size of the famous Red White
and Blue, to be worked on this novel prin.
ciple, in which he proposes taking passage
for Europe about the middle of June next.
The diminsions of his vessel will be as fol.
lows: Length, twenty-six. feet; breadth Of
beam, seven feet and depth Of hold three
feet. In the case Of storms he can easil.
reef or take in his sails, and heave his YES.
sci to, with drag. Captain Powell feels
confident that he can make between six and
seven knots per hour in an ordinary breeze

ChiId Murder In indiana.

At Warsaw, Indiana, about six weeksago,
one Lawrence Hart took from the poor house
a boy four years old, named Winfield Fines.
Three weeks afterwards the child was miss
ing. Its mother made inquiry, as to what
had become Of II, and was told that it bad
been given away TO man living III Ohio.
Not satisfied with this, she succeeded in in
tercsting some prominent citizens ID the
matter, who began 10 make an Investigation,
whereupoI, Hart having fed, after q long
search, the mangled body Of the child was
found in an old we'll. At the Coroner's To-
quest, Hart's wife and others testified that.
from the very first, Hart 8 treatment Of the
child was brutal aud cruel in the extreme;
that he whipped and beat it without mercy
almost If not quite every day, and that on
one occasion he spent nearly whole day IN
torturmg it in every way the most hellish
wantonncss could suggest, first whipping it
with leather strap, then with strip Of
board, until it was not able to walk, and
then put in down in the cellar where it laid
down in the damp and chilly air and went
to sleep. Then he removed it from tho eel
lar, took it out doors and plunged its head in
cold water, and compelled it to remain out
Of doors until its feet were frozen. He then
took it into the House, hung it up by means
Of strap passed around its body, and held
Goals Of fire on a shovel under hisfect. Af'
ter torturing it in this manner for while,
he took It down and made it walk the floor
backward and forward, occasionally striking
it with plated leather horse-whip, until it
fell at last exhausted and scnseless on the
floor
1t further appeared that tho day the child
died Hart whipped it first outof doors, with
stick of some kind, until it was so exhaus-
ted that it fell asleep at the table whilethey
were eating breakfast Upon this Hart few

seized a horsewhip and whipped the child
for some time, and finally struck it a severe
blow on the temple, either with his fist or
the butt Of the whip, and knocked its head
against a stairway, causing two moro scvero
bruises on the back part Of its head.
He then allowed his wife to put tho child
to bed and she states that she liied to restore
it, but it died that night, when Hart took
the body away.

occupied by them towards tho United states
before the war and also granting general am.
nesty and pardon. It was also said that
Secretary Seward indorsed the position Of
Mr.. Lincoln, although not able to be at the
Cabinet meeting. Suppose such procla-
nation had been made by Lincoln, would it
not have been death blow to the Radical
partyp They would have been deprived at
one blow Of tho power Of reconstructing the
South, or Of intermeddling in the internal
affairs Of the States. That party would
have dropped dead, and the Union would
have been put upon its former basis, except
as to the existence of African slavery in the
Southern States.
The Radicals would have been prevented
from overriding the Constitution, and, in
fact, that party would have been poworless
inasmuch as slavery had been abolished, and
there would have been nothing to feed their
dupes upon. But Lincoln was killed the
night after he had expressed himself in re-
gard to the proclamation. It is probable
tho people Of the United States would like to
know why the Secretary Of War and Rad.
ical Congress permitted or directed Baker to
receive the greater portion Of the reward Of
fered for the apprehension Of Booth upon
such slim testimony, when Mr.. Stanton had
it in his power to force Baker to produce
the dead body, he being the superior officer
and master, SO to speak Of the creature Ba-
ker? Why was Baker brevetted Brigadier
General by Mr.. Stanton, soon after Booth
was laid to have been killed?
Although the Kentucky man tells Gcaeral
Davis that he murdered Lincoln, and this
fac. was made known to Stanton, we hear no
noise about it. Congress has not appointed
committee to investigate the affair. The
question pre- ,ents ITSELF what has become Of
the man who confessed to having killed Lin.
coin and tried to murder Seward? The
whole matter seems to have been hushed up
in some way. 1t might be Of some interest
to the public to know what has become OF
King? Is he still in Kentucky, in prison
waiting his trial as thief? or has the War
Department raker, charge Of him? When
the dispatch from General Davis, in regard
to Kings cchfsssion, reached Stanton, what
order was given in regard to him, and why
has he not been tried bofore Military Com.
mission, or a Court for the murder?
They hung woman, who said on the
gallows she was innocent; why don't Stan
ton have this man hung who says, 81 mur-
dered Abraham Lincoln?' While all the
Radical papers and stump speakersand Con-
grcssmen are charging that jeff. Davis was
implicated in the plot, why don't they say
s,meth;ng about the way Stanton allowed
this man Baker to put away the dead body?
Or cry aloud or groan heary because Stanton
don't hang King? Why is it that no at
tempt was made upon the life Of any one
but Lincoln and Seward, who, it is stated,
agreed to the proclamation granting amnes'
ty to all? You will observe | accuse no one,
but there is such fog floating around the
whole matter, that l, for one, would like te
be able to see more clearly through it.
