sawdust as Manure.

The common practice OF throwing
this article into the streams on which
saw-mills and shlngle-millslar are situated
is reprehensible. 1t would not pay to
spread it upon a muck-swamp; but upon
anv sandy land, or light, gravelly loam
deficient in vegetable matter, it would
prove a good dressing, and in time would
show good results. The best use we
have ever seen it put to was bedding for
animals in stables. 1t is an excellent
absorbent, and will keep cows clean
even better than straw. 1t is also very
light, handy article in the hennery, and
more cleaniy to handle than muck in
common ope,. privy-vaults. The article
is merchantable in cities, and is quite
extensively used upon fioors IN eating
saloons and for other purposes. AT c0un-
try mills it can generally he had for the
carting, as mill owners are glad to get
rid of it. It is good substitute forstraw
and this is now worth so much far man
ufacturing purposes, in many parts OF
the country, that no thrifty farmer can
afford to use it fol. bedding.-American

Moore, VINO happened to be at the house.
On their arrival Hutchison said they
intended giving him Beanel thrash

was q signal for all to produce pistols.

An Ansct,nx Scene.

The "Richmond Enquirer, ~ of q few
days since has the following
IAN affecting scene took place few
days since athe police station, which
melted more than one heart 10 tears
A young man of most respectable con-
nections had been arrested for drunken
ness and disorderly conduct, and was
raving like maniac in his cell, when
his aged mother attired in widows
weeds, entered the station house, and
requested to be allowed an interview.
The request was granted, and she stood
face to face with her erring son. The
surprise almost sober ed him for a mo-
ment, and he greeted her with manly
tenderness, but the demon soon broke
forth in fresh rawlings. The mother en-
deavered 10 calm and soothe him, but
without avail his dull ear wasdeaf even

from the cell shesa into seat, while;the
sobs SO long ch0ked down, burst forth
with passionate vehemence for her SON

the prop and stay of her old age--fOr
whom she would willingly have laid
.lown her life, For two, hours her un
controllable agitation had fnll sway, and
then, with en etfart of calmness, she
departed.

when found he is worth making note OF.
We ran across gehuine specimen the
ether day--or rather, he ran against us
empatically against us against our ieei-
ings, against our Judgement. against our
sympathy, but not against eur pity
We did 10 him, and that was the ex-
tent of our recognition. He was dressed
faultlessly-that is, if the extreme OF
Iatter-day fashion can be called iaultless
.-he had beautiful white hands and
teeth, his hair was parted in the middle,
his downy mustache adreitly colored
and curled, a gold-mounted eyeglass
dangled from a buttOn-hole OF his vest,
and "nobby" little walking-stick was
twisted in his bejeweled lady singers
He was proud to say that he was gen.
tleman of leisure We inferred as
much before he said it. What else III d
have been inferred? What earthly use
could the mortal thing be quito? Phys
zeal force he had not his mind was as
vacant as an exhausted receiver; and he
seemed to have no excuse for living ex-
cepttto advertise some tailoring estab-
lisment. 1t is something to the credit
of this republican country that such
specimens of the genus homo are rare
We can, only wish they were so rare

them with his monkeys; though the
monkeys would be apt to protest against
