Next, that Messrs. billiard, Scales and
Scales, after this statement by Mr.. Justice

either to, the rule of the Supreme Court or to
the rule Of Mr.. Justice Settles Magisterial
Court and thus disabled themselves by their

1t is also evident that the reviewers
Of Judge Settles conduct never troubled
themselves very much with attempting to
learn what the true ruling in this case was;
and that @the lover of civil liberty" in the
ardor of his admiration for the coy goddess,
has even surpassed them in Ignorance or
carelessHess, since he came to oscillate be-
tween Rockingham and Caswell counties, as
to choice of the locality where the events
did actually occur. But love is ever blind

him again that it is Rockingham and not
Caswell county. However, if he is not sat
isfied, he can load one barrel of his blunder-a
buss with Rockingham and the other with
Caswell and thunder away, until he is sufii
ciently amused.
How much comfort the protesting attor-
neys, who have failed to answer in other
parts of the State, can draw frum the quoted
cases of Tillinghast, Austin and Bradley,
and the opinions of Marshall and Gibson, 1
do not Know, but they are heartily welcome
to it all. They will never be able to set Tar
river atire, if they stay where they are And
those who have answered will find it to be
an unpleasant jub for them to reconcile the
conduct of Messrs. billiard and the Scales,
to their own, but will not press them too
hard, since it really does seem as true of
the protesting lawyers as of the Romish
clergy, " that if you offend one Monk, all
the cowls will flutter as far as Rome"

Useful Receipes.

FEVER In ANIMALs.-When your animal
has fever all stimulating articles are to be
avoided. Bleeding to produce the circula-
ton; purging Tor removing irritating sub
stances from the bowels; cooling drinks to
to allay thirst and supply diseased secre-
tions; rest and quiet to tone down the sys-
tenn, are what common sense would seem to
dictate, and what nature would seem to re-
qulre. This is safer than to cram the ami
NAL with a multiplicity of cures, without
regard to anything except the fact that
something is the matter. We trust farmers
and owners of animals will heed the admo-
milton here given. Of ir.-.... ...r
RHEUMATISM in Cows-The treatment of
rheumatism should consist in placing the
animal in moderately warm place, and
giving diet OF generUd Us character. In ca
ses where the pain is severe the tincture of
aconite in twenty drop doses may be given
with advantage. Friction to the Joints will
be found beneficial and, where much swell
ling exists, the liniment of ammoni NAV be
rubbed in daily. Cooling applications do
notseem to suit this complaint. The enlarge
ments In the joints sometimes become chron-
&c, and should then be treated with applica-
hons OF the tincture of iodine.
RED WATER IN SHEEp.-After providing
the animals with comfortable quarters bleed
freely and administer the following: Take
EPSON salts, one ounce linseed oil, one
ounce; gentian, one drachm; ginger, one
scruple; warm warter two ounces. For
lamb give half this amount, but to full
grown sheep the entire quantity. Foment
the abdomen with warm warter-a lamb. in
TACT, may be placed altogether in a warm
bath. In cases ofrecovery change of food
must be afforded, and short, sweet pasture
should be preferred. .'. .- 3
ITCH IN HoRsEs.-A correspondent in
the Southern Cutlicator writes: 81 had
horse affected last spring with the itch. l
bled him freely, and then gave him tea
spoonful, every other nay, of mixture OF
equal portions of sulphur and antimony. At
the end OF a week the sores had disappeared,
and In short time the horse was covered
with fine coat of new hair
SALT AND ASHES FOR HORSES Those
keeping horses should, twice week, throw
in a handful of salt and ashes Mix them
by putting in three parts of salt to one of
ashes. Horses relish this, and it will keep
bots, collie. etc. A little ground sulphur
mixed with salt and ashes, and given ounce
i'll two or three weeks, is also beneficial All
domestic animals will be thus benefited
INTERFERING IN HoRsEs.-To prevent
interfering in horse who is turned out in
the front feet, the shoe should be applied TO
fit closely on the inside, and the nails, APP
piled around the toe and to the outside. In
some instances small piece of leather pla-
ced betwixt the sole and the shoe, and al
lowed to project outwards, has very good
effect In preventing interfering

Shall Bunatics be Killed.

A remarkable proposition has heen nader
in England. 1t is proposed to kill lunaties- ID
We are told that the proposition is limited
to criminal lunatics and the ground upon
which this novel and extraordinary idea is
based is mercy One of the leading En-
glish. papers makes it and asks:as1s it, or ISL
it not a false sentiment of mercy, to persist
in keeping them alive when we are compell-
ed, in self-defense, to deprive them of every
thing which makes life valuable, or even
'cndurablc Since they can be cured neither
of their wickedness nor of their disease, and X
exist as centers of moral infection and
causes of crime, violence misery, and danger
to all around, would it not be better and
wiser to put them out of the way altogetht %
ler ?" 1t is quite evident then that in the
eyes of this Englishnlan lunacy is alscurss
which justifes the law In inficting death; e1
that visitation of Providence renders the
unfortunate man or woman amenable to the
laws that the han.l of affection must bemet. .
with the hand of the executioner; that thesas
feelings of humanity are not to-be outraged
by the sight of lunatics. This is indeed the,
climax OF dilettanteism, and a strange use
of mercy. After this we may expect to hear y
that persons bent upon suicide by reason of
inability to bear up under misfortune, upon 4
making affidavit to that effect themselves
or any ane else doing it for them, shall ei-a
ther be entitled to be put to death by the
proper offices of the law,for Condemned to
it as the case maybe. / ss.i.sgA sssess aisl

Brigham Y oung ON Polygamy.

70 Brigham Young claims that Polygamy is iiT
not peculiar to Mormonism. In-a sermon
recently Inc said. that Father Abraham had, .
many wives. and he quoted many Others He ,,.
said that God had never forbidden polygamy
The Saviour never rebuked it, though sur o.
rounded by it. It was new inventionto rule aa
out this practice of the olden time But, said sTl
he, I'VE are not polygamists exactly. He, has All
children by nine wives but we are sealed
for eternity, as it is revealed to u.s. He then
spoke of the dreary life that must be passed b.
through the unsoldhnd incomprehensible per ua
iod by those who have no congenial spirits, &,
sealed to them. These sealed. companions,
beautiful angels in eternity, will make us go
happy in the presence Of God. But Brigham !, y

Growth of Population,

At the taking of the last census, 1860, the
population of the United States Was 81, 49,
221. And it was then estimated by the cen
sus Bureau that in 1870 the country would
contain AZ, ,32s, ,432; in 1880 a population of
57,45O, ,241; in 1890 population of n, 1885,
9s9; and in 1900 the vast aggregate of 1O0,-
355,S02.
Were the whole country populated as
Massachusetts, is, it would have within its
borders no less than 519,0O0,0OO souls. Ell,
kanah Watson, Benjamin Franklin's friend,
made ont table of estimated population
for every decade up to 1909, and his esti.
mates have thus far held good. Hrpredicted
that in 1900 our population would be IA

HOUSE AND FARM.
The Kitchen Garden,

AsPARAGUs.-f the beds arc not already
covered, put on coarse manure or litter of
some kind.
RHrBARB.-Transplant if new beds are
needed and the ground is open, rather than
wait until spring. Cut up old roots so as to
have an eye or bud to each piece, and put
in rich soil.
RooTs. -Parsnips, satisfy, and horse
radish being perfectly hard, portion of
the crop is left in the ground until spring
opens.
CoLD-FRAMEs.-The plants in these are
more apt to be injured by too much heat
Than by two great cold. The object is to
keep them perfectly dormant and safe from
injury by alterations of freezing and thaw-
.ug During tins month the sashes are re-
CURED over the plants only at night
CELERY.-Store for winter in trenches
4 foot wide, and of depth equal to the
height of the plant. The roots are SET in
closely without any earth packing. When
.:dd enough to injure the plants cover with
.TTaw.
CABBAGEs.-Select place from which
water will drain off, plow away a couple of
burrows, set the cabbages on the ground,
heads down and roots up, and then throw
the earth towards them with plow, finish
ing with the spade. The earth should be
from four to six inches over the head. Cab
bages should not be buried in this way be-
fore cool weather comes on, and there is a
prospect of freeze.
SPINACH SPRoUTs-Where the winters
are severe, these will need covering of hay
or straw, but not enough to smother them or
cause decay.
CLEAR rP.-Dispose of all sorts ofrubbish
aud do every job that will take an hours
