INFORMATION WAsTED.-We published
in our last issue paragraph headed
Body Found" which disclosed the fact
that the body of negro man was discov-
cred a few days ago buried near Smiths
Creek. in St. Inigoe's district, in this
county, under circumstances which ln-
4uced a belief that murder had been
committed. The paragraph in question
w.s repablished in the Daily Gazette and
mo, the eve Of Mr.. John A. Griffith, jr.,
Box 1859, Baltimore. who has addressed
-. i. letter. extracts from which we give
below. These sufficiently explain the
purpose Of the writer and render any
further preface on our part unnecessary
You remember, during the time Of
the noted Union League, plot was dis
covered 20 murder certain white rebels Of
BALTIMORE county, etc. A negro boy,
formerly owned by an intimate friend o.
mine. disclosed the plot. He was exam
med before the Court III Baltimore coun-
tv but 10 action, from some cause or 9TH
er was taken upon his testimony. b
this discovery, he made himself obnoxious
to hi, ewn color aud was frequent warn
ed that the League had taken an oath to
murder him whenever an opportunity Of
fercd. Tbi. negro, few weeks ago, was
.nt;csd Fl ON hla home and when last seen
was standing on wharf in Baltimore in
company with a fsw other negroes: My
suppositiou is that he shipped on some
.yster pungy as hand. and as his age
corresponds with tina. of the man spoken
of BY YOU, think it not unlikely that the

LIVE CATTLE WEIGHED BY MEASURE.-
The only instrument necessary is a mea-
sure wi feet and inch marks upon it
The girlh is the circumference Of the AM
MAJ lust behind the shoulder blades. The
length is the distance from the shoulder
blades. The superficial feet are obtained
by multiplying tie girth and length
The following table contains the rule to
ascertain the weight of the animal
If less than one foot IN gIrth, multiply
superficial! feet by eight.
If less than three. and more than one,
multiply superficial feet by eleven.
II l. than five, and more than three,
multiply superficial feet BY sixteen.
If less than seven. and more than five
multiply superficial feet By twenty live,
1t less than nine, and more than sew
en-, multiply superficial feet By til rty-
three.
If less than eleven, and more than
seven, multiply superficial feet BY forty
two.
Example Suppose the gjrth Of a bull
lock to lie SIX feet three inches, length
FIVE feet SIX inches the supcrhtIaI area
will then be thirty four, and IN accor-
dance with preceding table, the weight
will be seven hundred aud clghtJ-tWo
pounds.
Example suppose pig 70 measurs
in girth two feet, and length ono foot and
nine inches There would then be three
and half feet. which multiplied by clev-
en-, gives th.rty-eisbt and a half pounds
as the weight Of the animal when dressed
In this way the weight Of four quarters
can be Substantially ascsrtained during
life.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE OCEAN
TELEGRAPH BILL.-The Ocean Telegraph bill
was taken up and read in the Senate yesterday
on motion Of Mr.. Sumner, who said that since
the bill was reported in February last the
landing of French cable on our shores rem
dered necessary such modification of its pro
visions as should make them applicable to
existing as well as to future cables, and thus
prevent the privileges conferred by the act
from being enjoyed by any persons or company
whose line terminates in any foreign country
which does not confer similar privileges upon
companies incorporated by authority of the
United States or any State Of the Union. BY
all means let telegraphic or magnetic cables be
multiplied between the United States and for
eign countries but at the same time let the
claims of our own citizens to the advantages
Of reciprocity be recognized, and especially
let the United States government insist upon
having equal privileges with any foreign gov
ernment in regard to the use and control of
these cables.
The New York herald., 1869-12-18

RUMoRs AND FACTS. press news tele-
grams find it necessary to contradict two of
their latest sensational rumors. The reported
declaration of Napoleon III. that the promulga-
ton Of the dogma of Papal infallibility would re-
lease France from the political obligations of the
Concordat is now pronounced "a afabrication. "
The announcement that the Suez Canal was to
be closed to commerce for further excavations
is authoritatively denied" In this day of
progressive science, with its manifold applica-
tions, would it not be well for the collectors of
telegraphic news to pay some attention to the
science Of truth? Is it worth while to send
dubious or false rumors in one message only
to contradict them in the next? Why not send
facts instead of rumors?
We publish to-day two special kilograms of
our own-one relating to the troubled condi-
ton of Ireland and another to the complete
ratification and approval Of the Burlingame
mission by the Chinese government-neither
of which is at all likely to be contradicted.
