On Wednesday night an affray occur

AHORRIBLE MYSTERY.
iorgan County Murder-A Five Wear
Old Crime Comes 10 Light.

We hud the annexed paragraph in
the Berkeley Union of Saturday:
A man by the name of Sander, was
indicted, in Morgan county, for the
murder of one Lloyd in 1863. The facts
as we understand them make this a
horrible affair. It appears Sander, in
connection with another person, per-
suaded Lsyd to 90 hunting, they know
ing that he always had about him o
large sum of money. In the woods they
shot him. Sander was afterw ard ar
rested in Hagerstown and Loyd's knife
found Oh him, but no ono could
swear Lloyd was dead; all that
could be said he was miss
ing, consequently Sander was dis
charged. A few weeks since citizen
of Morgan county, whilst crossing the
mountain, discovered the remains of a
human skeleton, which was recognized
by the shoes that were on his feet, and
by leather belt, as the remains of
Lloyd. The back part of the skull had
what appeared to be n bullet hole in it.
We also understand that Sanders ac-
complice confessed the crime on his
death bed. We sincerely hope the vii
lain may be caught and brought to jus.
tice. A more cold-blooded affair we
never heard of, bat the end viii! show
another example of that old adage that
murder will out"

The Souih.

Since the surrender Of LEE's army IN
Virginia. which WAS the terminal act Of
the war, the Southern people have
naturally been as desirOus for peace as
the people of any other section; and II
the proper policy had been pursued by
Congress- all asperities of thu contest OF
arms would long since have been
obi Grated. The Southern people more
particularly have everything to lope
for IN peace, aud everything to gain by
it. They lost their all i'll tae late war.
The south was not only overcome by
the army of the Union, but was also
stripped uf its available stores and pub
lie property; the railways and bridges
werS destroyed and factories, churches,
State Capitols, school houses and uni
versitics were burned by one or other
Of the belligcrent parties. All the
vast army of Southern soldiers were
paid in Confederate money, q hatful of
which, after the surrender, would not
buy 4 loaf ot bread, because it was ut
trrll worthless. Over half million of
lives we're sacrificed in the Southern
cause, aud when all was lost, the sur
NvorS retired from the battle field with
starvation staring them in the face;
their clothes being worn o1t in four
yelrS' war; their cotton burned; agri.
cultural implements rusted and rotten,
and their horses, cattle and mules scarce
aud poorly fed. Is it not reasonable to
suppose that they desired to make
amends for such losses and once again
enjoy the blessings Of peace and pros.

BARLEY Culfure.

The proprietor of an extensive barley
mill in Akron, Ohio, has issued a circu-
lar to barley raisers in Summit and ad-
joining counties, from which we make
the following extract:
A number of years ago suggested the
propriety of improving the quality OF
barley by washing the seed, before SOW
ling, in strong salt brine, in order to re-
move oats or other impurities. Many
of you have since adopted this plan,
and continuing to sow, agood quality
Of Barley has been raised in this section
for years; the yield has been satisfac-
tory, and the crop is acknowledged to be
as profitable, or more so, than any 9TH
en-; 4S lbs. of No. l barley to-day are
worth from ten to fifteen cents more
than 60 lbs. of the best red wheat, and
there is no telling how much higher
they may 60. But in spite of these
facts, the breadth sown has been COM
paratively small, and even if there was
no demand for shipment, it is doubtful
| whether the amount of Barley raised in
Summit county would be sufficient to
supply the home demand at the En-
pire Mills. Even now, have been
obliged to send for a supply of barley
to the State of New York, where very
excellent qnality of two rowed Barley
has been raised this season.
Now, my friends, if you will, you can
draw this supply from our own soil; it
only takes some timely labor to till the
soil, and those who have tried the ex-
pertinent Of ploughing their clover bot
tom in the fall, aud sowing it with Bar
ley next spring, admit that after har-
vest, it leaves the ground in excellent
condition to receive seed for the fall
crop, and that the crop of Barley is
actually clear gain. If not ploughed
in the fall, worms are apt to destroy the
Barley, and besides, unless the season
is very favorable, yot&would be unable
to get the land prepared for early seed
Ing. Occasionally Barley does well,
if sowed by the first of May, but to
make it sure crop, it should be sown
from March Goth to April 10th. 1t needs
a good, rich, warm and mellow soil;
thus corn stubble is particularly adapt
ed for good crop of Barley. 1t requires
about 1t bushels of seed to the acre. 1t
is always we'll enough to change the
seed. So far, We have raised here almost
exclusively four rowed Barley. should
much prefer the two rowed, which is
heavier and more plump than our COM
men Barley. Don't fail to plough this
fall.
