4 HARD CASE.
V,,eeeut Man serves a Seven
Wears, Term in the Penitentiary.
~ -. T.ol.op Mich Patriot

From the jackson lMlcn-J fatrlolJ
In the fall of 1861 there was a steam
boat plying the lakes, called the Globe
owned by two brothers named Robinson.
| One of these brothers was second engl-
peer of the boat, and during one OF her
trips a passenger by the name OF karney
went into the engine room and attempt-
ed 10 interfere with the management of
the boat. Robinson gave him push
and he fell upon the shafting, when one
of the boat hands came up aud kfcKeo
him in the jaw with such force as 10
break it. Karney then sprsng up, drew
a knife and stabbed Robinson In the
breast. killing him instantly. he then
stabbed man by the name OF Cammins,
one of the boat hands. He was then
seized. lashed to the boat and car
ried TO Mackinaw, where he was
turned over to the civil authorities.
After having his jaw dressed by a ply,
sician he was taken 10 Detroit ana
lodged in Jail, where he remained four
months, and then, with others, made
his escape before being brought to trial.
A reward of $1,000 was offered by the
authorities for his capture, but he bad
probably fed to some other country and
succeeded in eluding the vigilance oil
the detectives. Ten years after this
in the year l56l-Edward Murphy, who
was then living in Chicago, was arrest
ed and charged with being the escaped
criminal. He was taken to Macklnaw
and there tried for the murder of Rsb-
inson, was convicted of the crime, and
sentenced to solitary confinement IN
the Michigan State Prison for life.
The witnesses against him were Cum
Minis, the man who had been stabbed
on the boat, and man by the name
of Laderoot, who was turnkey at the
Jail in Detroit at the time Karney made
his escape. They pretended to identify
Murphy in consequence of his having
lost one of his little fingers at the second
joint, which was the case with the real
murderer; but the fact was that Muir
ply had lost his five years after the
murder had been committed. These
two witnesses, however, swore point
blank that he was the man, and upon
their evidence he was convicted, and,
as stated above, served seven and half
years in solitary confinement in the
State prison. He finally succeeded,
after so many years of suffering, in es-
tablishing his innocence by proving an
alibi, and was released from prison in
March last.
1t is supposed the two witnesses en-
tered into a conspiracy against Murphy
for the purpose of obtaining the reward
which had been offered for the capture
of Karney, and their scheme proved
successful, although they received ouly
$500 of the money.
Murphy is now an old man, broken
down in spirits and constitution, and is
destitute of means. He proposes to Pc
tition the Legislature for relief.

One of the most sensible pieces of ad.
vice that can be given shepherd is to
avoid any sudden change of food, for
either sheep or lambs.
The Indiana farmers are selling their
corn in the field at fifty cents bushel,
to be fed to hogs which sell for eight
cents . pound.
Mr.. John Harness, of Hardy county,
West Virginia, was the first to practice
the cutting down of Indian csrn with its
stalk entire, to be shocked in the field,
and thus used as the food Of cattle.
Rice, the great staple of South Caro-
lima, the cultare of which was once con-
fined to the river swamp lands, is now
grown on the uplands. The seed of the
swamp rice is used, and the grain raised
compares favorably with that from the
old rice fields.
VALUE OF SHEEP.-We believe that
sheep judiciously managed, pay better,
all things considered, than any other
class of stock, while, as general thing,
they are less trouble than most other
stock. They are rather low at present
and 50 too lie the price of wool, but like
other things the business will have its
"ups and downs" Our farmers will
have to come to it, to improve their
pastures.-hassachusetts Ploughmdn.
SHEEP RACK.-One of the most con-
venient forms of sheep rack, says the
Massachusetts, Ploughman, may be made
with posts three feet high in the cor
ners, bottom of boards, the sides and
ends of two boards each, and the lower
one the widest, with narrow perpendic-
ular strips nailed on to keep the strong
er sheep from crowding the weaker.
The spaces are larger in their perpen-
aicular than in their horizontal open
ing. The size of these, as we'll as the
width of the rack, must be in proportion
to the size of the sheep.
THE SHEEP MANIA.-Sapford Howard,
of Michigan closes recent article upon
the subject of high priced sheep with
the following pertinent remarks: "The
downfall of speculation will probably
break up and destroy the false standard
which has prevailed in regard to the
characteristics of Merino sheep. Many
ef the sheep will be swept away, but a
remnant composing those really valus
BILE, will be saved. A truer standard
will be adopted in breeding, and good
profits will be realized from the ami
mails"

A Clever Trick.

A Springfield man, says the RepubH-
can, of that city, did sharp thing at
the expense of the Hartford and New
Haven Railroad. With his wife and
daughter he visited some friends at
Windsor Locks. few nights ago, and
being very anxious to return home by
the owl (express) train, endeavored to
induce the station agent to agree to
stop it. Failing there, he telegraphed
to the superintendent at Hartford, and
received the reply that the train would
stop for fifteen passengers. Quick as
thought he Bought fifteen tickets, and
that fact being telegraphed to
Hartford, he had the pleasure in
due time Of seeing the express train
stop for his accommodation. "But
where are your fifteen passengers ~ said
the conductor, as our Springfield friend
and bis two companions appeared, to
get aboard the train. "Why, you see"
replied he, with twinkle in his eye,
"the others didn't come" OF course the
conductor could not take up more than
three tickets for three passengers, and
SO the real estate maA and his family
we're set down in Springfield for ordi-
nary fare, just as they wanted to be.
To be sure he has got dozen tickets on
hand, but there is nothing to prevent
him from using them whenever he sees
fit to do so.
