At eleven O'CLOCK Saturday morning, Alder
man T. ]. Mackey and Mr.. A. NJ. Mackey ap-
peared before Magistrate DsLarge. colored, to
answer the charge Of assault and battery, pre-
ferred by Mr.. Clark.
The Assistant District Attorney appeared for
MIR. Clark, and asked postponement Of the
case until four O'Clock, on the ground that Mr..
Clark was engaged al the Customhouse, and it
would be detrimental to the public service for
him to appear before that time.
Alderman Mackey demanded that Mr.. CLARK
should appear at once, asserting that he would
not give bond to keep the peace towards MIR.
Clark, as he had learned he vas to be request
ed to do.
The Assistant District Attorney stated that
he bad come for the purpose OF making the
Alderman give bond to keep the peace towards
his client.
Some further discussion ensued, and the ma
gistrate sent constable for Mr. Clark.
After the LAPSE Of about fifteen minutes the
constable returned, stating that MIR. Clark had
said be would be at the magistrates Office in q
few minutes.
His attorney, however, announced that Mr..
Clark would not come, but would drop the
charge of assault and battery against all ex-
ceptlng DR.. Mackey, and would demand that
both Alderman T. ]. and Mr.. A. III. Mackey be
bound over to keep the peace towards him.
Alderman Maokey contended that Mr. Clark
could not, under the law, bind him over to keep
the peace.
The magistrate decided that as he saw moth
ing that would support the charge OF assault
and battery against Alderman 7. j. and Nr. A.
N. Msckey, he would dismiss the case; but ss
be had reason to believe that there was danger
OF o breach OF the peace. he would bind both
OF the accused and also Mr. Clark, in the sum
of 500, to keep the peace towards one another.
At this stage OF the proceedings MIR. Clark
came in and signed the bond, as did the two
Mackeys moment after. The court then ad-
journed.
CLARK ARRESTED FOR PERJURY.
Immediately after the adjournment Of Mag
istrate DeLarge's court, AIderm,u T. ]. Mackey
went to Magistrate Mlrbaw and had warrant
issued against Mr.. Clark charging him with
having committed perjury in swearing that he
had committed an assault and battery upon
him. Mr. Clark was summoned to appear be.
fore the magistra and did so at three o'clock,
| when be waived an examination and was re-
quired to give security in the sum of one
thousand dollars, to appear and answer the
charge before the next term of the State Court,

Improved Farming.

do not know Of . more striking in
stance Of the benefit Of draining on a
small scale than one not half q mile from
me. A city man. three or four years
ago. bought farm Of some seventy five
acres. The house was situated upon the
top of an easterly slope some forty or fif-
ty rods from the road. He moved out
TO the farm the lst Of May. The young
ladies. who had no experience OF farm
life. came out in q carriage. and when
they came to turn up the private road that
led to the house, the horse mirsd. and
the driver had to get out and lay down
rails for the ladies to walk on across this
mud hole, Their feeling. can be imag-
ined. A quite respectable family had
lived on the farm since the country was
first settlsd-lived. thrived and died
They had pulled through that mud hole
for thirty or forty years without any at
tempt to drain it, Our city friend imme-
diatelv cut ditch along the side of the
road. a distance perhaps of fifty rods, down
TO the natural water course. He then
put in some underdrain, running up and
down the slope in front Of the house and
which discharged into the new ditch. The
effect was magical. these underd-ains run
winter and summer. day and night. and
carry off all the water. The meadow IL
one OF the handsoIlest aud mos. productive
in the neighborhood. The young ladies
have surrounded the house with evergreens
and ornamental trees aud shrubs. The
mud hole has disappeared and in its place
is q nice gravel road firm and dry at the
wettest Seasons of the year, and | ques-
ton if the whole expense of the improve
mept amounted TO two hundred dollars.
Blu, did your city friend make farm
ing pay !" "Ye. sir. He has received
more money from his apple orchard alone
than he paid for the farm. He has
everything very comfortable around him.

turning their attention to farming. The
country needs new blood but the re can he
little doab, that many Of these new Corners
will soon leave Us. have a neighbor
who came from the city last spring He
bought farm that would be productive if
thoroughly underdrained, but without. it
is not worth cultivating. He has worked
hard all summer. managed the land as
any one could, but his corn is not worth
husking, and the whole farm receipts were
80 small. he is about to return to the CITY
in disgust. Our agriculture has SO much
to hope from young meu who. having a
love for farming. the necessary capital. a
good education, abundance Of energy. make
up their minds to study farming at some
Agricultural College. or with some good
practical farmer. and then settle down in
she country for life. determined to make
farming pay" 1t will not be many years
before our Agricultural Colleges turn out
hundreds OF such men, And the more Of
them the better ~. Harris

that plants possesa this power ina great
