GENERAL FLEURY at 20 years of age,
was made Prime Minister of France un-
der Louis XIV; he held it for seventeen
years, until his death at 80, and thus his
administration was nearly as long as
that of Richelieu or Mazarim. II has
been spoken of as a singular coincidence
that Voltaire and the Due de Richelieu,
who were both representatives of their
epoch, began life within two years OF
each other; that both attained to un-
usual longevity. in spite of original
weak health, and such restless lives-in
the one case of intellectual toll, in the
other of dissipation. Voltaire was born
in 1894, Richelieu in 1854. The first
died in 1873, the latter in 17S4-attain-
ing respectively the ages of 81 and %
years Marshal Villars, one of the gen
erals ofLouis XIV; died in the Italian
campaign in 1888, in the reign of Louis
XIV, at the advanced age of 81. His
chivalrous courage was true to itself to
the last, for, in his SD year, finding him
selfin danger of being surrounded, in
company with the King of Sardinia, he
charged the enemy. sword in hand, and
extricated himself and his royal COM
Panion. Rochambeau, who commanded
the French troops at Yorktown on the
surrender of CORVALLIS, reached his SD
year. Rochefoucauld, Liancourt. the
philanthropist and patriot, died in 1927,
at the age of 81. A few years after
wards,in 1884 Lafayette ended his mem
orable career, at the age Off.

Brutal Murder-Descripton OF the Parties
One Thousand Dollars Reward for their Ar
rest.
EDITOR PosT On the night of the
18th friday, between II and 10 o'clock,
party of four men came to the house
OF j. d. Davidson, and calling at the
door inquired if Davidson lived there
William b. May, the only person except
Davidson in the house, answered that
he did, and invited them in. Davidson
(who was in bed) also bade them come
in, and the four men entered the house.
They asked Davidson when he came
back from Virginia City, to which he
replied that be bad been back several
days. They then asked if they could
get a cup of hot coffee, as they were cold.
Davidson said certainly, and May com
menced to build fire. Using hatchet
to split wood, he laid it down on the
hearth and stepped out after some chips.
Davidson had raised up and was sitting
on the edge of the bed. As May went
out, two of the men followed him. lie
had just gathered an armful of chips,
when he heard a blow struck in the
house, and at the same time one of the
two who had followed him. presented a
gun or revolver at him May, and snap
ped two caps, which fortunately did not
discharge the load. May started off to
ward the timber at a run, and in circling
around did not succeed in raising the
alarm for half an hour or more. On
reaching the house Davidson's body
could not be found, but the floor was
covered with blood. At daylight the
trail was traced through the deep grass
to swamp some four hundred yards
from the house, where, from the
manner in which the grass was tram.
pied, they had evidently carried
him, resting once in that distance. He
was found lying in the swamp with
his head cut open with the hatchet
several blows having penetrated the
skull. They had taken all the money
about his person, but the exact amount
is not ascertained. No further trace.
have as yet been found. Davidson wal
preparing to leave for the States, intend
ing to start in q day or two, and hac
some $4,000 or $4,000 in money. The
parties seemed to be familiar with David
sons business and intentions, and May
says talked as though they were &C
quainted with him. The night wa,
tolerably light. The recollection of May
is that one of the men was a large per
son, with long, dark whiskers, wore
large, black, broad -brimmed hat, and al
overcoat with large cape, as worn il

MAINE HEARD FRoM-The telegraph
did not bring returns of the Maine cleo
tions on the Sd instant. Our Eastern
exchanges state that the Unionists car
ried the State by nearly 10000 majority.
John B. Page is elected Governor, and
the Legislature is composed almost en-
tirely of Republicans. The Democracy
had better have another torch-light pro

lings of Democratic majorities compare

The New Regi.,ra,ien Law.

4 bill was reported in the House of
Delegates, from the Judiciary Commit
tee ON yesterday, to amend the Regis
tration Act. We regret our inability
to lay it before our readers this morn
ing, but will, if possible, present it to-
morrow. For the present We forbear ex-
tended comment. We will only say in
general terms, that all the atrocity
of past Radical Legislation becomes shu-
mane and gentle when compared with
this, the crowning iniquity of the day.
Other acts lashed us with whips; this
will chastise us with scorpions. 1t is
the sum of all usurpations, the embodi-
ment Of all villainies, and the aggrega-
ton of all frauds upon the rights and
liberties of an outraged people. While
its passage is by no means certain, its
enforcement among people sufficiently
lawless to deserve it would be simply
impossible.

APure-Minded Pars0n.


A certain Reverend Mr.. CARROLL, Of
Wayne county, We believe, proposed in
the House Of Delegates on yesterday
to enact that suits for libel may be in
stituted in any county where the paper
publishing the same, may circulate, and
that such suits may be brought against
editors and publishers, either jointly or
separately. From the fact that this
gentleman recently demanded of us
the name of q correspondent, who
had been ventilating some of his ex-
ploits, and from the fact that he as
sured us of his intention to seek Gre
dress, sirs, in legal point Of view," we
are at no loss to infer his disinterested
purpose, in having the laws fixed to suit
his case. He probably intends, when
he gets his bill through, to institute his
proceedings in that august and incorrup-
tible tribunal over which his superior in
brains, if not in honesty, NAT.
HARRISON, presides. If it be not
deemed impertinent, we would
like to know what percentage on YER
diets will fall to the share of the bogus
judge, and what proportion will be
"hived" 10y the brevet parson.
Is the reverend gentleman of the
opinion that under existing laws his
contemplated suits will avail him moth
ingi Does he reflect that under the
Constitution the truth may be plead in
justification of libel, and that unless
he can get before Court that has as
little regard for the Constitution as it
has knowledge of law, his prospects Of
success are dim' If so, his prudent
preparation is highly commendable.

for nearly year has been hunting up

ing her we have already stated. Mother
and daughter are now well on their way
to California. Mr.. Mcintyre, who re-
mains in Girard, stoutly asserts that
the mother of the child was murdered
by the Indians; while the lady holds and
exhibits her marriage certificate, as
well as the documents of her divorce
from Mcintyre. The fact that the lit
tic girl recognized at the school, her
mother in the lady who called for her,
would seem conclusive.

luriculturnl COLLEGES,

This subject being of interest to the
thinking and practical farmer, as q
means for our improvement, l contend
that agricultural colleges, in connection
with experimental farms, are to be
cherished by all true farmers. / con-
tend that the honorable nature of agri-
culture needs no periodical bolstering
into respectability; but it is the digni-
ty ofthe agriculturist that is a matter
of concern, as it is noble calling if
noble men engage in it. / maintain
that the farmer should bring the same
skill into his avocation as men of the
so-called learned professions. As a
means, / assert that agricultural col
leges should not be placed secondary to
the agricultural press, as they are both
necessary to sustain the vitality of uni
versal prOgression; both must be in uni
son, as it is through the press that prac-
tical information reaches the masses,
and it is as necessary to have source
for ideas as it is a means to convey them
to readers, without regard to the inter
est of any one.
Twill cite what agricultural colleges
have done, and are doing without stop
ping to rehear experimental operations,
and will leave the subject to the delib-
erations of agricultural reformists.
1st. 1t is fact, that with the COM
mencement of agricultural colleges q
new era has been worked in the pur-
suits of honest industry in all countries;
for example, Prussia. with her sixty
nine colleges, has increased her produc-
tions nine times in amount, with no
more tillable acres in use, within the last
century.
I'd. That such institutions seek to
place the farmer and mechanic in the
same social school with the students
of our classical colleges, thus adding
thousands to our industrial ranks, who
otherwise would devote their lives to
less profitable pursuits.
Sd. That thousands thus educated
will not only be farmers throughout the
country, but will also be bright gems to
our agricultural literature.
4th. They teach us the fertilizing
properties of our lands, and the constit-
uents to apply to replace those proper
ties exhausted in rotation of crops, with
view not to impoverish our lands.
5th. They teach us the great princi-
Piles of rotation of crops.
9th. Veterinary surgery as applied to
the saving of stock from disease, also
breeding and feeding domestic animals.
When we reflect what has been done
by the horticulturist, we cannot fail to
be convinced that the vegetable world
is more subject to improvement than the
animal kingdom is. In short, we learn
by practical results, without any artifi-
cial prescription, all that pertains to
the model farmer.-Rurdl American.
