POLICE CoURr.-The display in the
Police Court yesterday was extra. 1t
comprised soldiers and citizens, men
and women, white and black, and one
ease decidedly, deeply, darkly, beauti,
fully blue. Judge Good being absent
from the city, his Honor Mayor MClel-
Ian presided over the festivities of the
occasion with grace and dignity.
An individual with very woe-begone
look, answering to the name of Harry
Harris, was found forked-end up, in the
alley near the Christman House, yes
terday morning. He was so full that
he must have commenced getting drunk
last summer, some time, in order TO
have accomplished so complete soak
ing. As he was too drunk to be disor-
derby, he was fined 81 and costs, or five
days geological study.
And now comes gallant sojer, as he
declares. He gives in his cognomen as
John Murphy, and halls from Wash,
ington, Pa. John was very drunk. He
talked as if his tongue weighed a ton.
He had called at various private houses
with petition of which the following
is a copy. We ask our readers to re,
mark the peculiarities of this petition.
John belonged to Company j. There
never was a company j. Companies
don't jay worth a cent. His shoulder
was dislocated while in Andersonviile
and didn't recover until Lee surrender
ell. Poor, sympathetic, loyal shoulder.
1t would be good shoulder to own
during the time of draft. The best
of the joke is Captain Jinks, Of Com,
pany j., though not Of the Horse Ma
rines, certifes to its correctness. The
whole thing is a swindlc Read it:
This is to certify that John Murphy
Company j, sd Regiment Pennsylva-
mia Volunteer Infantry, lost the use OF
his left shoulder in Andersonvillc prison
bv dislOcation Of the same, which
was not reduced until General Lee sur
rendered and the bearer hereof arrived
in Philadelphia, eight months after the
accident happened Those who feel
disposed to assist crippled old veteran
will please do so. Some old clothing
preferred. Capt. HARRY JINKS,
Commanding Company.
Col. WV. lIoYT,
Commanding Regiment.
On this petition he had raised Il few
shinplasters, which he invested in whis-
Ky for fear he would lose them. He
called at house on Fourth street and
refused to he sent away empty. His
soul painted for old clothing The sin
glc, simple and solitary desire Of his
heart was for old clothes. SO pugna-
cious was he for old clothes, that it
was necessary to send for an officer and
have him bundled oil to the calaboosc.
He was fined 81 and costs, and in de
fault taketh fivcdays geology.
Mary Notary, white, and Mary
Smith, fifteenth commandment soro-
sis, were out on the war path on the
10Th of April. They went to a brick
yard on the Island and behaved SO up
roariously and badly as TO cause their
arrest for disorderly conduct They
were fined 81 and costs each. and in
default are to reside at Castle Faris for
the next ten days.

feed handily, and at the same time made
so that the hay cannot be pulled out and
trampled under foot For cattle, good
rack may be made with common rough
boards and few pieces of scantling.
Make them four or five feet wide, ten OF
twelve feet long, and two feet deep; have
four by four inch scantling in the corners,
and also in the center of the ends, run
ming up twelve or fifteen inches above the
top of the rack; to the latter nail in cen
ter partition lengthwise; thus you have q
double rack where cattle will eat content
edly. Do not have the end boards or
pieces ofscantling reach down aslow as the
side boards, and then by rounding up the
ends of the side boards after the manner
of sled runners the racks may be easily
drawn from one place to another.
For sheep we know of no better feeding
rack than one made of posts and boards
with opening at the sides through which
sheep can put their heads and eat
Hay brings good price in market, and
quick sale, and land gives as profitable
a return of this as almost any crop it can
be put to, when the difference in amount
of labor is considered between Just the
garneriLg of grass, and blowing, sowingand
gathering of all others. 1t certainly be-
hooves farmers to feed carefully, for
every ton saved is as good as gold, and if
not wanted for present feeding may be
Kept stored up for time of need, or sold
FOR cash. Western RuraI.

John J. Moore, of Quakertown, has
sent the result of his experience in raising
poultry during the year 1869, and inclu-
ding the first three days of the present
year, to the Doylestown pa hateItigen-
Ger, as follows ''We kept thirty hens
and four BOOSTERS, cross of the old
Cochin Chinas and whiteBrahmas. During
the above period they laid 8, 98S eggs, of
which those that were sold averaged thirty
two cents per dozen, 700 of them being
laid in the three winter months. We
raised to full marketable size 10 chickens,
selling all that were large enough for mar
ket up to the first of seventh month at
an average of thirty cents per
pound. On the l0thof the twelfth month
| took to market twenty pairs of the
young ones, among which were eight pairs
of roOsters, the smallest pair weighing IL
pounds, and the largest 15t pounds,
averaging 13 pounds per pair; thu whole
lot retailing at 90 cents per pound. The
purchasers remarked that they didnot look
as iftheyhad the cholera. On the Sd inst,
[ took l3 pairs, still younger, pairs of
which were BOOSTERS, averaging II pounds
per pair, the rest pullets, averaging 8 |
pounds per pair; pairs were sold at a |
cents per pound, and the balance at % |
cents. The way to do it is simple Give |
The hens plenty to eat and the children
two cents per dozen for finding the eggs
and making the nests. When the chick
ems are put up to fatten vary the food
and give them plenty of water, gravel,
and pounded charcoal, and keep the hens
md rooste-s in different pens"

There are hundreds of tons of hay lost
every winter among farmers by careless
feeding. We have been astonished some
-...s when witnessing the amount
wasted around barnyards and stacks.
This wasteis entirely unnecessary, and if it
was made the rule Of every farmer never
TO feed any kind of stock on the ground,
thousands of dollars might be saved an
nuaIlv. There are times to he sure, when
the earth is frozen dry and clean, but if

WHO KEEPS DEAD FLOWERSl

Who keeps dead flowers? Not I,-indeed not I;
The world is wild with blossoms and the sky
Drops roses, and the regal moon-llmped night
Brings sculptursd lilies, carved Of perfect light
Who keeps dead flowers? Thenceforth sway with
these,
The ashy ghosts OF sad znemoniesi
with dimped, blushing buds refill the vase,
Dipped in the laughing wine Of summer days!
Who keeps dead howers7 What If loving friend
Did last spring give thee these, and now an end
Has come to all his l0ve2 LIES fun to-day
OF friends, fresh friends,-fresh noWers,-fing
these away.
Who keeps dead flowers? AlAsi one summer day
Teaches how many, many turn away
From lfe's fresh-booming and bewildering bowers
To sigh in secret, and TO keep dead flowers.
Who keeps dead iOwers? An angel came one night
And passed by all the happy, left the bright
And laughing ones, and toOk,-Ohl was it meet?-
Only dead iowers-and laid them at Gods feet.
