An Ohio hog. grower says that
the following treatment will make
the biggest hog out of a pig in
twelve months: Take two parts
of barley, two of corn, and one
of oats. Grind them together ;
then cook, and feed cold. He
says it is the cheapest food, and
that any pig of good improved
breed can be made in this manner
to gain q pound . day until a

DOTYS WASHING MACHINE,
LATELY MUCH IMPRovEp-AND THE NEW
Universal Clothes WTingeI

improved Win hOUeUS EQteHC DOUt u
Cog-echeels and the Patent Stop, are nov
unquestionably far Superior to any appa
ratus for washing clothes ever invented
and will save their cost twice year, by
saving labor and clothes.
The Editor of this paper, who purchased
Washer and Wringer, thus testifies as tt
their value:
A FAMILY BLESSING.
We have had in constant weekly use in
our family, for about two months, Doty's
Washing Machine, and the Universal
Clothes Wringer, and after trial, often re.
peated, we can say rs result of our obser-
walton and experience, that the statements
made in the advertisement on our fourth
page, are literally true. The Machine a.
bolishes all the hard cork of washing the
clothes, of whatever kind or texture, are
thoroughly cleaned, and the wear is not
near so much as under the old system of
washboard washing. The Wringer is also
model of perfection. 1t will wiring gar.
ments drier than can be done by hand
nth no danger at all of tearing the clothes
tits made with Rowell's patent double cOgs
with the patent stop, (Which is in no other
Wringer,) to prevent the double cogs from
separating SO far as to lose their power.
The general agent, Mr.. Browning, is very
safe in offering to return the Washer and
Wringer, after one months trial, if not
liked. No one, after fairly testing their ca
pacities will be willing to do without them.
RICES-A Fair Offer.
If the Merchants in your place will not
furnish, or send for the Machine, send us
the retail price, Washer SIS, Extra Wringer
SO, and we will forward either or both
machines, free of freight, to places where
no one is selling and so sure are we they
will be liked, that we agree to refund the
money ii any one wishes to return the ma
chimes free of freight, after months trial,
according to directions.
No husband, father or brother should
permit the drudgery of washing with the
hands, fifty-two days in the year, when it can
be done better, more expeditiously, with
less labor, and no injury to the garments, by
aDoty Clothes Washer, and a Universal
Wringer.
Sold by dealers generally, towhOm liber-
al discounts are made.

CARE OF WAeoNs.-The Can,


6a Farmer gives this advice:
When you have loaded wagon
to stand a number of hours, put q
a support under the axletree.-
The strength of wood cannot be
estimated by what it supports for
a short time. 1t viii bear up a
third more weight for a few min
utes that will be required for a
few minutes TO break it by con-
tinued pressure. Wagons are
abused very generally, by over
loading. If the axletFees do not
break, they are sprung, and the
wheels warped, which causes the
vehicle to run hard, an3 shortens

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

WASHINGTON, MAY l7.-There was
quite commotion among the members
of the press here Yesterday on account
of the President calling q special ses-
sion Of the Cabinet. A war with Spain
trouble with the Fenians, the Indian
question, probable resignation Of Secre-
tary Fish, that gentleman being absent
from the city, and a thousand other
reasons were assigned. The President,
however, settled all surmises on the
subject by saying that he simply con-
vened the Cabinet because there was to
be lunch party given by Mrs Grant
to-day at u o'clock, and he desired to
attend and to give the Cabinet officers,
with their families, the same opportu-
nifty.
The Reconstruction committee agrees

HOUSE.

The consideration of the bill to re-
vivc American commerce and naviga-
ton was resumed, Mr.. Lynch giving
notice that he would call for vote on
Thursday.
Mr.. Wood contendcd. that our COM
mercial interests were not suffering and
that it was only the navigation or ship
building interest that was decreasing,
the reasons for which he stated at
length.
Mr.. Washburn of Wisconsin, favor
ed generally the bill, ascribing the
decrease of American shipping princi-
pallv to the uniriendliness Of England
during the war and giving notice to the
LOBBYISTS that no scheme of subsidies
would pass this Congress. He believed
the duty could be removed from ship
building materials without harm to
American interests, and if the interest
of American shipping could be promoted
bv system of discriminating duties he
would say abrogate at once your com
mercial treaties and discriminate in
favor of American bottoms. The bill
went over till tomorrow.

HORRIBLE MURDER.
An Old Man Murdered In Broad
lDaylight and His Body Eaten by
Hogs.


For many years past there has lived
in the upper end Of this county, towards
the head waters of Stone Coal creek, in
Lincoln township, an cd man by the
name of Edmond West. lie was a
bachelor-had few intimate friends,
and, it was supposed, no enemies. He
lived in his little old cabin in the woods,
seldom leaving his farm except to pro-
cure the necesSaries of life. During his
long life his close disposition, added to
a good knowledge Of farming, enabled
him to acquire a considerable sum Of
money, which he boarded away, hiding
it in all manner of places. His rela-
tives and friends assure us that short
time before his death he had several
thousand dollars-mostly in gold and
silver-hid about his house, and this
is supposed to have been the cause of
his death
On Monday morning, the 9th inst,
his body was discovered lying in the
field, some three or four hundred yards
from his house, by Mitflin Montgomery.
His skull had been broken and his
teeth knocked out by repeated blows
with a large black oak club, which was
found lying near the body, covered with
blood and hair. The body was in a
most horrible conditon-for in addi-
ton to the terrible wounds inflicted by
the murderer, the hogs had discovered
it, and had eaten off the face and torn
out the bowels of the unfortonate man
rendering him a most pitiable object.
On examination of the premises, the
sum OF eighty-five dollars and FIVE cents
in silver was found, but no other money
or property Of value, and it is supposed
that the murderer secured some $4,000
or $4,000.
As we 60 to press we learn that two
men have been brought to the jail at
this place, charged with committing the
murder. Their names are Ezra NJ.
Overs and Henry Montgomery, both
neighbors Of Mr. West.

of Nav, was the festival of Sheenee
Pesach in the Jewish calendar. This
festival j. not much observed among
the Jews of thi. country, but in the
East. where the old customs are vigor-
ously kept up, the day is a general
holiday. The festival OF Pcsach is an

who have been absent from home on
the Regular Passover, 50 that they may
he allie to appear in their temple, and

festival. but more generally observed.

Egypt, and preparatory to the giving OF
the law which was received seventeen
days later.
