HoRRIBLE.-The military atrocities of
Haynau, the Austrian General, and of
the French in Algeria in smoking thou
sands to death in a cave, have been
thrown into the shade by recent act of
Letona, the Spanish General in Cuba
1t seems that a great number of families
from Puerto Principe abandoned that city
together, and guarded by a force of pat
riots, encamped in the woods. When
Letona knew that these families were al
most unprotected he conceived the idea
of attacking them in their camp and
at night, with large force at hand, he
surprised them and slaughtered large
numbers of children, women and old
people. The news given to the Captain
General shows that the number of those
whose Threats were cut mounts as high
as 1000, and as all are children. women
and old persons, the barbarous monster,
author of these unheard-of crimes. ex-
cuses himself by saying the night was OBJ
scure and he could not see.

The same gallows was used for the exc
cution of Barnett and Cavanagh OF Bur-
lington, each of whom cut his wites
throat with a razor, and was hung at the
same minute on January 20, 1864. John
Ward, the murderer of Mrs. Griswold of
Williston, VT, was hung here, March 20,
1868.
Notwithstanding it was well known that
but few persons would be permitted to
witness the execution, there were many
strangers in town, and as the hour of the
execution drew nigh, crowd, attracted
by morbid curiosity, collected about
the prison. No sympathy was express.

persons without passes were ordered from
the guard room, and at | o'clock the
guards, officials, reporters and twenty
witnesses were admitted E. f. Gowan
and family, cousins of the victim, were
present. Ella, the daughter, expressed a
desire to attend, but could not. Miller,
escorted by Deputies Amsden and Ken
dali, walked up the steps firmly. He
wore black coat and vest, and light
pants, but no collar, and his bosom was
bare. Chaplain Franklin Butler read a
passage of Scripture, closing, ave shall
stand before the judgment seat of God"
He then read prayer, and said: " In
the name of the Lord Jesus l ask, are
you innocent ?" Miller replied, am"
Sheriff Stimson read the death order,
bound Miller's hands, arms and legs, and
asked if he had anything to say. Miller
said " | have not, but if there is any
one present whom l have ever injured, l
hope they will forgive me. My hopes
are in God Almighty" As the sheriff
adjusted the black cap, Miller said :" l
wish to say one word. There are men
before me who have sworn to lies. God
knows it. God is my strength. I'wish
You all goodbye, gentlemen" The sher-
if said =" The time for your execution
has come. May God have mercy on
your soul! !" and launched Miller into
eternity. The drop fell at a quarter past
1 o'clock.
There was no struggle or even culver

in eleven minutes. The body was allow

Miller had wife and child in Jay, Vt.

He was 33 years old, 5 feet six inches

~ We have rsqaently advocated tho oul.
tivation Of the Suuaower on On extensive
scale for the following reasons list. 1t
produces greater amount Of grain per
acre than any other crop. I'd. The grain
il exceedingly nutritious, and is eaten
with avidity by all kinds Of stock, aud is
excellent fattening food. Sd. The seed
contains q valuable oil, which is much
esteemed for many purposes. 4th. Tho
leaves make very valuable, nutritious,
green fovd for cattle, etc., and come in
when the pastures begin to fail. 9th.
The leaves absorb deleterious vapors which
arise dupisg the evaporation OF water by
the heat of the sun, and in this manner
are beneficial to health by purifying the
dir and preventing bilious diseases. 9th.
Ia prairie countries, where wood and coal
are scarce, their large, woody stalks are
very useful for fuel.
Mr.. Isaac Leuty Of Lexington, Sanilso
Co., Mich, has grown the Sun6ower as
q fed crop this year, and is convinced Of
its very great importance for feeding cat
tie. He has house fed his milch cows on
the leaves since about the second week Of
August, aud they have increased, very
much in their milk-at least 25 per cent.
The cows make q clean finish Of the
leaves-not making waste as With other
food. The milk and butter are Of excel.
lent quality, without the smallest trace
of an unpleasant favor, as is tho case
when cows are fed on esbbages or ruta
bagas. He says the leaves have WON
derfal effect in fattsnipg stock. He pur.
chased two lean steers for $50, and for
the saks Of experiment fed them on tho
groeo leaves Of thS Sup2pwsrs for three
weeks, at the end Of which time he sold
them for s88. He intends to 50 exten.
sively into this crop next year for the
purpose Of feeding milch COWS and steers.
fIe has four varieties Of the Suuaower,
aud prefers newly imported one called
tho Russian; this, 10 very we'll adapted
for cultivation in the field. 20 the plants,
grow t,celve feet high; and bears profuS-
ion Of seed and very large succulent
leaves. The common ,SunAowsr sown in
the same field With the Russaiu did not
grow higher than eight feet. We under.
stand Mr.. Leuty intends to commence the
manufacture Of oil from SunAower seed.
He has variety with white seed, which
b thinks will make very beautiful oil.
Ths, refuse Of the oil mill will make oil
cake for fstteniug cattle and sheep. The
reason Of the leaves possessing such re.
markable fattening properties 10 that they
contain large percentage Of oil.
The manure made BY cattle fsd on
Sunaower leaves, seed, or cake, will no
doubt be very valuable. In England
landlords 10 many localities bind their
tepapts in their leases, 70 use oil cake iu
feeding stock, for tho purpose Of improv.
ing the land BY the rich manure produced
