ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF lfrRDF

ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF MURDER.
Our readers viii remember an ac-
count we gave last winter OF one Miss
Lovina Pratt and Daniel kingsbury
OF Jamaica, who last fall lett ali iIiegit-
innate child OIL the house steps of Sam
acl Bailey in Townshend, ana that be-
ing found out they took the child back
but had since disposed of it, no one
knew where. We now learn that
Sheriff Carr of Jamaica, arrested
klngsbury on Tuesday last OH charge
of having murdered the child, and that
he has fully confessed to the murder,
was examined on Wednesday and
committed to Jail for trial The re-
mains of the child have been found un-
der log where he said they would be
found in his confession. His story is
that he was hired to murder it by the
father of the child who is understood
to oe another man, and that he and
the woman took the child one night
and rode to where they stopped,
and he took it away from the road
where he strangled it while the wo-
man remained in the carriage. On
being inquired of how he could do
such deed, replied that he knew he
had broken the law, but that it was
all right with his Maker, with whom
he had made peace! If the wretch
therefore, had gone and hung himself
he would have shown trif1e more re-
spect for mankind.
We understand officer Carr is now
In pursuit of the father of the child, to
arrest him.-BeLtoa0s Falls Times.

What will Susan Say ?
BY e. M, SPENCER.

Two suitors came for Susan's hand,
Appealing to her sire;
Spoke of their loves and breadth of land,
Before hickory fire;
The old man heard them long and well,
In his old-fashioned way,
And looking where the ashes fell,
Thought, What will Susan say Z"
The one he told of large estate,
OF fields and acres wide,
And Susan was the bright-eyed mate
He would claim Cor his bride.
The old man eyed this suppliant vain,
With gems of brightest ray,
And looking in the fire again,
Thought, " What will Susan sayi"
His sinews showed no signs of toll,
Nor of the wealth acquired;
No proof that from the teeming soil,
vi iaOOI eIsC dLIlreu
"Wealth might take wings, aud doing so
Might speedy fly away"
And the old man gazing in the glow,
Thought, " What will Susan say :"
The other had but his good heart,
The stout arms at his side,
And setting all things else apart,
Claimed Susan for his bride;
The old man feared that these might tire,
Life was lifelong way,
And looking in the hickory fire,
Thought. "What will Susan say?"
Yet there was work f or all to do,
And more homes yet must grow,
And men should their own fortunes hew,
While struggling here below;
He'd built the roof above his head,
Twas many year away,
Thought of the dear wife long since dead,
And, "What would Susan say :"
The old man rubbed his shriveled hands,
And conned the matter DER,
The suitor with his spacious lands
The other poor-no more;
He dreamed the look of years aback,
Long ere hi> locks were gray;
Traced III the fire his weary track,
Ind, What would Susan say ?"
So Susan came and stood beside
This sire of many years;
She was his care, and love and pride,
For her his hores and fears;
Ind 10y the hearth upon whose stone
Her life grew bright and gay,
He took her hand, and in low tone,
asked, What does Susan say ?"
And Susan then, amid them ALL
Her suitors and her sire,
There made her choice without recall,
As they gazed in the fire;
Twas tor the one whose highest aim
Was but to work his way,
And the answer with a welcome came,
To, What does Susan say ~

POULTRY MANURE.-We fear that
farmers no not save the droppings of
the henery as they might and should.
The productive power of this man.
ure is very great and far excels that
taken from the barnyard. One bushel
of it properly mixed with the soil has
quite as much fertilizing power as a
load of common manure, and proba-
bly, more. 1t makes an excellent
dressing for the garden, and mixed
ashes or plaster, a spoonful of it in a
hill of corn is about equal to SHOW
elful of ordinary dressing. We once
tried the experiment, and found it
better and more productive than drop
pings of the cattle and horses in the
proportions above named; hence the
Importance of saving this manure. If
a proper place is prepared for poul-
try to roost the expense of saving
their droppings will be very light. Our
farmers should have their eyes open at
all seasons of the year, and let moth
ing which has fertilizing properties
be lost. A little care and attention
to this matter will prove a great be-
nefit. Give back to the soil all you
can and your reward is sure. We
have seen this kind of manure in old
barns year after year and the hard
7 working owner never once thought of
t cleaning out his barn and spreading
/ the manure on his land. And many
r farmers have noplace prepared for the
h hens to roost, but they let them take
5 their chances, and so you will hear
'chanticleer close to postlet perched'
d on the cellar beams of the barn crow
L in the early morning and down drops
:. the manure upon the hay. And SC
/ such work goes on through the long
winter, and the farmer is as easy as
[ Old Tilley about it. Now We have g
:. notion these droppings of the poultry
! are vastly more profitable on the
garden or field than on the haymow
What say you, Uncle Ne ? Don't
you think we are about right? WI
/ know you do, and so we stop here

A New KIND OF PANCAKEs.--Th demand
for cheap shoes has been so pressing of late
years, says the Lynn Reporter that it has in.
duced the most rigid economy in the manufac-
ture. Hardly scrap of leather is allowed to go
to waste. The wagon loads of odds and ends
made in cutting, the refuse of splitting machines
are all worked up again into that kind of leather
known as pancake This is made by FASTING
and pressing together the scraps Of which we
have spoken. This being rolled and dried, is
made to do service, in the cheaper grades Of
shoes, inner sole leather ''lifts" for heels
SO skillfully ere these operations performed that
sometimes the substitute is, for some purposes,
almost as good as the genuine article. Some
firms do large business in the manufacture Of

machinery driven by steam. 1t is shoddy

MINORITY REPORT.

Col. I. l.. Dickey presented minority report
on behalf of Messrs. Gates, Hoyne, Gilman, Myers,
and himself, comprising a substitute for the last
resolution Of the majority report The substi-
tute was as follows:
Resolred, That our delegates to the national
convention are instructed to insist upon the pol
icy of buying the $50 bonds in the lawful mon
ey of the country as part of our national plat
form; and, while we recognize in Hon. George
H. Pendleton, Of Ohio, statesman of the first
order, and a true patriot, we deem it inexpedient
at this time to trammel our delegates in their
choice of candidates, hut desire that they shall,
after full and fraternal conference with the del
egates of other states, favor the nomination Of
those candidates best suited to the position, and
most likely to be elected at tho polls.
Mr.. Roberts, of TazcwelI, moved to lay the sub
stitute on the table, and the ayes and noes being
called, resulted in laying the substitute on the
table by 233 ayes to 1S5 noes.
The announcement of the vote was received
with the most vociferous and long-continued
cheers ns4
After some discussion, the various advocates
of ADMINISTRATION withdrew their opposition to
the final resolution, and the resolutions as
whole, as read, were adopted unanimously

So disguised have the people be-
come with its operations, that petitions
begging it to adjourn are being circu-
lated extensively, signed, and pre-
scented to the Ohio Legislature. Many
of the citizens who voted the Demo-
cratic ticket last Fall just for the sake
of change" begin to realize that
the " change" is proving both annoy
ing and expensive. They also begin
to appreciate the important fact that
it is not so easy to get rid of a Legis-
lature after it is once established. 1t
is evident the Ohio Legislature has
no intention of a speedy adjournment,
Notwithstanding it costs about sever
thousand dollars a week in money,
while its damage to the reputation Of
the State cannot be computed in dol
lars and cents.
1t has marked out a vast amount of
work which is not fully executed, and
besides, it would never do to have the
President impeached and removed
from Office without the Ohio Legisla-
ture in session, ready to take action
in the premises. Toledo and Cleve-
land have already been provided with
city Governments by this wise body;
the arsenals, and arms of the State
taken charge of, and it may become
necessary to depose the Governor,
and other State officers and have the
laws administered by the Chairmen
of Committees Of the Legislature.
With work ofsuch magnitude before
it, the people are unreasonable in ask
ing the Legislature to adjourn. 1t
believes in holding on until its sue
cessor is elected.

prophet on EENDLETON 5 success, from
the outset, aud see nothing in recent
demonstrations to shake our faith.
It IS proper hat the Democracy
should nominate Mr.. PENDLEToN.
He IS the representative man of
the party. During the war he was
its exponent IN Congress, and its
mouth piece. Since the war, he has
done nothing to forfeit It's confidence.
A filter representation of the old,
~aristocratic and slaveholding interest
Of the country, cannot be found with
in the limits of the United States.
Not only ought he to be nominated,
but the platform of the party ought
to be made to suit. His reasonable
u~tterances during the war ought to
be collected and embodied in resolu-
tions, with some of PoMERoY's bal
derdash, thrown in as spice. That
will bring up the issue fairly and
squarely between PENDLETON and his
followers, who sympathized with the
rebels during the war, in their efforts
to destroy the Republic, and GRANT,
his soldiers and the Republican party,
who whipped the rebels and the Cop
perheads, and thus saved the Repub-
lie. That is the way we want the bat
tie arranged. Let there be no false
flags and false signals. Let the uni
forms be the blue and the gray. Let
there be no Sinking the color In
which the Confederate Democracy
gained their reputation. No talk
about white boys in blue" for the
purposes of deception. With the old
principles, the old flags, the old uni
forms and the old leaders, let the civil
struggle be fought to a successful term
ination, as was the struggle during
the war.
