The Enc Of Anlf.

We observe for several months past,
the agricultural press has been discuss
ing the use of salt for live stock, and
there have been various opinions pro
and con. If there was anything settled,
in the practice of agriculture, by the
long and combined experience of one
Thousand years, and the suggestions OF
common sense, it is the usefulness OF
salt as o condiment for man and beast
increasing appetite and promoting
health and digestion. When salt is dis.
carded OH the dinner table. it may safe
" be withheld from live stock, and not
before. In some of the papers the dues-
tion seems to turn OIL the propricty oi
"teeding salt to stock" We never tried
this, and do not believe salt alone would
sustain life and promote thrift. We
keep lump of rock salt in every horses
and cows trough, and have it also
where stock at pasture can have access
to it Just as often as nature prompts.
This is giving salt its proper use as a
condiment, which it is, and nothing
more. If it is given to them at stated
times and in stated quantities, no adj
vantage, but the contrary may result
1t is no disparagement to the genus
homo to admit that in parts of his or
ganizatiOn, assimilation and digestion
of food, etc, he resembles horse. What
would be thought of the practice of adj
ministering to u man, on one or two
DAYS of the week, n tablespoonful OF
pure salt to eat ~ kind of lunch!-

Tho Latest PhiIsdelphia Horror.

A brief telegram yesterday morning
announced the murder of Mrs. Dorcas
Magilton, aged sixtytwo, at her hus-
bands residence. 1t seems the husband,
Mr.. Adam Magilton, aged seventy-fve,
left his dwelling about three o'clock
P. NJ, for store near by to
make purchase. On returning he
was admitted to his house by young
man named George W. Winemore,
who informed him that his wife was
murdered. He accompanied Winemore
to the kitchen, and there a horrible
sight met his vision. Extended on the
floor lay the wife, her skull crushed in
with blows from hammer, and her
throat cut from ear to ear. The ham,
mer was close to her head, but no knife
or other sharp instrument conld be
found in the room with which the throat
had been cut. razsr belonging to
WinemOre was subsequently found in
the yard attached to the premises The
murdered woman was the mother Of
Gen. Joseph Magilton, one of tho brave
brigade commanders of the Pennsyl-
vania Reserve Corps. Winenore, who
was recently discharged from the regu-
lar army, was on friendly terms with
the family, and took his meals at their
house. The motive of the murder is
unknown. He was promptly arrested,
and committed to prison.

The selna Bank Robbery-A Full
statement.


At the request of Major General W.
Swayne, the undersigned were present
ON the 18th instant, when the vault Of
the First National Bank in this place
was opened, and we assisted in the ex-
animation made on that and the sue
ceeding day. For the information of
those concered we submit the follow
ing statement of facts disclosed by the
investigation. The book-kceper of the
bank has furnished trial balance, taken
from tho books on the 18th inst. 1t has
been deposited with the Chamber erof Com
merce for public inspe ction. If the Bank
on that day was in the condition rep

we're subsequently committed, for, in
stead of sl77,96l 26 in cash, we only
found in currency $3,2as o5, and in coin,
s5, ,452 1s, assuming that q sealed bag OF
rold marked 5000 actually contained
that amount, and excluding 1928 80, sup
posed to be o special deposit, from the
nemoranda attached. The bills receiv-
able are stated to be $155, ,126 96, be-
sides S32,715 81 in suspense-all the
napers reported to be in suspense
we're found except q check for $3.50,
hnt of the sl55, ,l26 Sc, we only
found about 100000. We had no
means of asccrtaining what disposition
had been made of the remainder. More
than twO-thirds of the amount shown
by the books to be on deposit stands to
the credit of the United States and OF
officers of the Government in their Of
fetal capacity. The assets reported in
the form of exchange on Mobile, New
Orleans and New York may prove to be
available, but the books furnished the
only information we could obtain in re-
GARD to. it. Checks may have been
drawn against it, not reported by the
President of the bank to the cashier
or book-keeper. We regret that we
CON NOT be more specific, but the man
ner in which the bank was con-
ducted-it appearing from the evidence
before rs, that the President. who has
abscopded, managed the affairs gener-
ally-rendered it impossible to obtain
data which would enable us to give the
creditors q satisfactory opinion as 70
the amount which may be realized from
the assets. Much depends upon the
skillful management in the hquldaton' .

Abuse Of the Pnrdoniug Power.

,mong the various charges, which,
III the Impeachment programme, the
Radicals alleged against ANDREW JOHN
son, was ''his abuse. of tile pardoning
power" This accusation was repeated
,ilue aud again and with renewed Wig
ul and vim at each repetition. The
Radical rante,s roared over it upon the
STUMP: the press retailed it in all shapes
and nu all occasions, and the loyal
pulprs pounded at it until the public
mind was impre ssed with sort OF idea
that JoHNsoN's pardoDs, like CEASES
.!c-nhackS, had been made by per-
pctua}iy moving machine, and distrib-
arcd to every man who could establish
Sclaim thereto by the production OF a
pondrIous record of past rascality. All
such impressions were finally removed,
however, by the publication of official
documents showing that the pardons
issued were not nearly so numerous as
had been represented and that vast
majority of these had been granted at
the instance Of leading Radicals. Pub
lie attention has been recently called to

other high officer has been dispensing

Thinking that a letter from this op
pressed portion of Mr.. Boremsn's vine
yard might be of interest to You and
Your readers, Idrop yen q line. Thu
weather is now fine and the farmers arr
busy, though the season is remarkably
late. The wheat is looking very well
though but small quantity has beer
sown. our people are striving hard tt
recuperate, but they are so annoyed by
the authorities of the State, and so op
pressed by State legislation that theil
energies flag and some give up to de
spair. Drought, famine, pestilence ant
war are not more ruinous to this people
than the legislation ut Wheeling. Why
the Legislature and the Governor should
take such malicious pleasure in no,
only Expressing us, but actually in de-
priving many of the means of living,
ia above my comprehension. Col. ID. s.
Hounshell, lawyer of this county,
leaves in few days for Kentucky. 9th
ers are preparing to follow. What a
spectacle! An able lawyer, and up
right, moral man, compelled to leave
his State in order to support himself
and family, because the Governor for
bids him the only means by
which he can earn support,
his practice. "Old Joe" since
his return from Wheeling has been very
busy. He is the President of the Board
of Registration in this comfy; and is
now giving notices to almost every con-
servative registered voter, to show cause
why his name should not be stricken off
the list of voters. To show you the ex-
tent of his corruption, he was t,y, some
means unknown to me, placed OH the
list of Grand Jurors at the last term of
our Court (last weekly, though he had
not been summoned by the Sheriff as a
Grand Juror. The Sheriff says the
Judge directed him to place DR.. Cald-
we'll on the list of Grand Jurors on the
morning of the Court. He was so
put on, and made by the Judge
its foreman. He wanted to indict some
gentleman and the grand jury refused,
when the Foreman, Old joe" the Pres.
ident of the Board of Registration, told
them that if they refused to make the
Indictment he would erase their names
