Catharine Hummel, aged fourteen, was
arraigned on Monday in the oyer and term
liner, at Mauch Chunk, Pa before Judge
Hagenman. for the murder of an infant
child Of VIM. Ludy. about two years old
near BoyerstOwn, on the 10th of June. The
childs throat was hacked with butcher
knife in shocking manner. The girl is
slight and delicate in figure, rather under
size for her age; is childish in her appear
ance and demeanor, and regarded the pre-
liminary arrangements for the trial with a
mere juvenile curiosity and uKcOncern.-
She is said to possess ordinary intelligence,
and was employed l.. Ludy's family as a
nurse at the time of the murder.

Horrible outrage.
From the Louisville Courier Joul

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
On Tuesday a horrible outrage occurred
in Fleming county, and swift and terrible
retribution followed it. The scene of the
outrage was the house of Mr. Jackson Oar
nall. situated on the Maysville and Mount
Sterling turnpike, in full view of the town
of Flemingsburg. and not more thaQ quar-
ter of mile from the suburbs. The family
went to visit neighbor, leaving the house
in charge of Mr.. Darnall's daughter. love-
ly girl of sixteen. In the course of the
evening the young lady was called to the
door by the ringing of the door bell. Upon
opening the door she discovered in the porti-
co a stalwart negro, afterwards identified as
one Henry Williams, who Immediately seiZ-
ell her, and sitting her cries so as to prevent
any alarm. Frustrated the poor girl and bru-
tally Tavished her. Leaving her insensible
he succeeded in making his escape. The
sequel is thus told by Mr. w. W. Pike. of
Maysvilie, who came down to Cincinnati on
Thursday:
When the family returned few hours
later, the horrible state OF affairs was re-
vealed and an alarm was given to the neigh
borhoOd.
During the night the excitement increased
and an armed mob surrounded the Jail, took
the black wretch out, and hung him upon
convenient tree. They left him hanging I'M
til Thursday morning, when his body was
cut down and turned over to his friends.
This affair has created the most intense
excitement that was ever known in Fleming
county
I'VE do not publish accounts like the fore
going TO crafty morbid taste for the SEN
sational; but as another warning for pro-
lection against a species of horrible crime
which has become of frequent repetition
under the influence of the licentious doe
trine impressed upon the minds of an ig-
norant and susceptible class by the Radical
reformers.l

this place. He is described as monster in
appearance, with most hideous and diabol-
zeal face, and his voice as being as loud as
heavens loud artillery. resembling the COM
bination of the human voice.
"And the VOLTS long howl from Onalaska's
shore"
He has already destroyed a young child, and
the head ana chest of its hapless mother, and
not at all satisfied with this repast he has
pursued several freedmen with savage fury,
who were supposed TO be in the bottom
hunting beef or hog meat. Ii he should be
all that he is described to US. we advise all
freedmen who have the fear OF the Lord, and
this imp of darkness before their eyes, not
to be Struggling about in the woods day nor
night. Particulars next week.

Referring to the oppressive taxes which
the public plunderers have levied on the
people of the State, the Macon Beacon
says:
should proceed 10 the last resort of collecting
by distress, there will be q general rising
against the plunderers. which will be almost,
if not quite, insurrectiOnary. We do not envy
the Radical "a collectors their task; they will
meet with nothing but excoriati0n from q suf-
fering people, and we fear in many instances,
unless they act with discretion, extreme meas
ures may be resorted to.

Hon. Robert H.. CarutIRers. Of Ten.
nessec, ON the Political Situation.


The following extract Of a letter from
Hon. K. l.. Caruthers, one of the most
distinguished and honored of the leaders
of the old Wing party in Tennessee, viii
be read with interest:
The question arises. under what banner
shall our forces be arrayed All agree that
we must stand as one man against the cohorts
OF Radicalism. and fight shoulder to shoulder
with those who strike for the country and
our institutions as they were. There must
De no division among US. "A house divided
against itself cannot stand" Under what
name shall we do battle, Democrats, Whigs
or Conservatives Whatever name will
give us most strength is the one we should
adopt. Abstracrly, that is question of no
consequence at all. We prove ourselves un-
worthy of the cause TO quarrel about mat
ter 80 immaterial. The Wing party is num-
/ bered among the things OF the past. Ii was
noble, patriotic and conservative party in
Its day, but it has long since fought its last
tight, and only lives in bright pages of his
| tory. No one now proposes TO resuScitate
1T. Though it was defeated i'm its meas
ures and policy by its great rival. its fuuda-
mental principles still survive and in
corDorated in the creetls of its former an
tagonist. They cannot perish while the re-
public lives, There is but one great nation
al party now in existence, and that il the
not that against which the old Wings con-
tended. though it retains many of its origi-
nal principles as well as those Of the Wing
party. Thosawissues upon which we differ
ed have now passed of. and others have
en- made up with the new sectional. ty-
rannical. selfish and wicked political organ
iZation called the Radical party. a portion
of both the old parties have gone into that,
and constitute fearful conspiracy against
our pure system of government, and aim
alone at the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the few bV
the oppression of the many. For the over
throw Of this monster. should not all good
men and patriots unite without regard to
names or former prejudices? Upon the
same issues, and under the same circum-
stances, | would stand 20 my old party and
feel proud gifts name, as then did in a con-
test with Democracy. But now as a new
party has sprung up against the principles
of both, and against the Constitution, and
republican system Of government, hesitate
not to array myself under the name of the
only party which is fighting for its over
throw and the salvation OF the country.

From the Corinth Model Farmer.
CrneItN 10 Animals

Every farmer, we care not how poor a one
he may be, feels proud if he is the possessor
of a fine. fat horse, COW, or hog. The praise
bestowed upon such an animal he appro-
PIRATES to hiTnself, because he feels that the
condition of the animal is owing to his kind
treatment and good management. But how
few act towards. their stock in a manner to
deservethe name of kind master.
Cruelty to animals is the rule; kindness
the exception. in this country. A man will
work his horse hard all the week, on half
rations: get on Jim Sunday morning and
gqllop him five or ten miles to church, or to
town, and let him stand up in the hot sun
for hours at a time. When he reaches home.
instead of putting his horse up, and feeding
him well, he is turned out to grass. Is il
any wonder then. that on Monday morning
the poor horse feels very little like work
The owner jerks and whips his horse, and
wonders why he is so slow. The greater
wonder is that he is able to go at all.
Every day we see poor oxen on our street
that ought to bring the blush of shame TO
the face of the owner. Falling to raise food
for his oxen last year, and unable TO buy
now. owing to the high prices. he is com
PEELED to work them hard all day, and turn
them out in the dry woods at night to find
something TO eat If they can. What chance
does the poor OK have TO lie down and rest
his weary limbs? But this is not all. The
driver perched upon top of the load, with a
big stick in his hand, beats the poor OK over
his head, because he moves so slowly, or
happens to reach his head out after a sprig
OF grass that grows near the road side.
Shame shame. on the man who has so
little feeling in his soul, IS to treat poor
dumb beast in this manner. Even out milk
maids are not exempt from this cruel dis
position. Our COW which furnishes us with
milk day after day, is beaten and bruised
with sticks, because she would not saw"
just when she is told, or place herself in the
right position to be MIXED. Then there is
the poor little halt-starved calf that has
been kept up in a dry lot all day, probably
without water or anything to eat, comes in
for its share of cruel treatment, comes and is
cracked on the legs and head until the poor
little thing is hardly able to stand up. because
it persists in trying 10 draw something from
its mother TO case the pangs of hunger. Is
it any wonder that with such treatment we
have nothing but poor and scrubby stock ?
or that we hear farmers say 1t don't pay to
raise stock? We say emphatically, that
nothing pays so well as stock; considering
the treatment received.
Let every farmer see to it, that his work
horses oxen, and cows are fed regularly.
treated with kindness and gentleness and
our word for it, what is called hollow horn
and bloody murrain will soon disappear.
for what is called hollow horn and murran,
| in a majority of cases, is nothing more than
hollow belly and stick bruises.

That broke up our society upon the stanisIaus.
But first would remark that it's not proper
plan
For any scientific gent to whale his fellow man
And, if member don't agree with his peculiar
whim,
To lay for that same member for to 'sput head
on him,
Now nothing could be finer or more beautiful tc

Than the first six months proceedings of that
same society
Till Brown of Caleveras brought lot of fossil
bones,
That he found within the tunnel near the tene-
ment of Jones.
Then Brown he read paper, and he reconstruct
ed there,
From these same bones, an animal that was ex-
tremely rare,
And Jones then asked the chair for suspension
of the rules
Till he could prove that those same bones were
one of his lost mules.
Then Brown he smiled bitter smile, and said
his greatest fault
Was that he had been trespassing on Jones fami-
ly vault.
He was the most sarcastic man, this quiet Mr..
Brown,
And on several occasions he had cleaned out the

Now hold it is not decent for scientific gent
Nor should the individual who happens to be

A chunk of old red sandstone took him in the

And he smiled a sort of sickly smile and curled

And the subsequent proceedings interested him

In the warfare with the remnants of a palazogic

And the way they heaved those fossils, in their

Wisconsin letter.

RIVER FALLS, Wis, May IA, 1870.
Editor Rutland Herald The active
busy State of Wisconsin is well into her
summers work. The weather is such
that farmers make rapid progress in their
spring work. There have been very few
days when work would be interrupted for
more than an hour or two by the rain.
When rain comes, it comes in heavy
showers, and then the sky is clear for a
long time. Once lately, we had few
days of clouds and chilling winds, when
the peoples lack of good nature and de-
preston showed how much more they
were affected by gloomy weather than
those living nearer to sea coast with its
continued dam pair. Thunder and light
ming is more terrific than in Vermont
and hail stones are it's common acoompani-
ments.
The tightnsss of the money market in
the st. Croix valley has marked effect
on all classes. Anything that will yield
ready money is eagerly sought. There
has been an immense emigration during
the last month, to the city of Duluth,
from Pierce and st. Croix counties, and
how much further the draining has ex-
tended, know not. The railroad that is
building which has their Zenith city" as
Duluth is called, for one of its termini is
the cause of all this, since it furnishes
employment for many trades, and does
cash business. Carpenters, day laborers,
teamsters with their horses, oxen or mules,
have gone there to get what they could
not at home-cash. A few hundred miles
Journey, and a summers absence from
home, does not deter these western men
from their object. In at least one instance
in this town, drove of COWS was taken
there to make money from. Ii there
should be stormy harvest season, the
exodus of laborers might cause the loss OF
much of the wheat coop, from lack OF help
to gather it at the right time.
In conversation with the editor of the
Prescott Journal, who by the way is from
New Haven, Vt.,) R. j. Thirt, Esq, 1
learned that if whsat should net the
farmers one dollar per bushel, after ship
ping, it would be quite satisfactory to
them. He saw hoy unfortunate it was
to depend upon single staple.
1t seems very probable that before long
a railroad will be built from some point
on the ST. Croix, eastward, that will fur
nish quick and easy way of outlet for
the produce of this fertile valley, to some
good markets, In my next some views
of western society. H. S. 3.
