On Friday last, a farmer named
Ossmere, residing in Greenfield, Mich
igan, concluded be would rid his BAN
of about q hundred nests made by
swallows under the caves, and for the
purpose put up and mounted long
ladder. There were only o dozen
birds about when the farmer COM
menced at the nests, but he had
scarcely tore one down before the
few set up such a twittering as soon
brought to the spot every bird from
the barns Of the whole neighbor-
hood. They few around Ossmerei
head, uttering notes Of displeasurL
and at last the whole cloud settlt(
upon him, screaming, pecking aLt
scratching, as If determined to dis
his eyes out. The ladder did not
stand very securely, and as the far
mer raised his hand to fight off his
tormenters his support slipped and
fell, carrying him to the ground,
the fall breaking a rib, and giving
him some severe bruises. The birds
remained about the spot until seem
ingly convinced that their abodes
were safe; when the flock scattered.

Protection in a Nutshell.

The whole question OF protection epltomized
by Mr. Bingham, Of Ohio. Read;
In England men must either labor at what
ever price capitalists choose to give them or
starve.
Mr.. Chairman, England notified the Ameri-
can people long ago Of her power for a time
to reduce the cost of the products of iron be-
low the power Of the American people to pro-
duce them and haUi1tg PIT ont our fires, dis
banded oar acOTknefs, and compelled as to look
70 her for iron, she reimbursed herself for the
loss thus incurred By charging tteO-fold the
price that iron had heretofore paid in the
American market
Sir, foster this great interest and thus give
the industrial power of American an Opportu-
nity to enter into successful competition with
the cheap labor of England and the cheap la
Dor of continental Europe in this great branch
of manufacture, now known to be so essential
to the personal safety of the people who daily
trust their lives to the railway now girding
our continent. venture the prediction that
under the operation of the proposed duty in a
very few years America will be the foremost
manufacturer of steel rails in the world; and
furnish it, of course, by the force of competi-
ton, at as low rate as it ought to be seld
for, leaving reasonable profit for its produc-
ton.
Mr. Chairman, the other view which has
been taken of this matter ought to have its
weight with gentlemen in this House. Multi
ply the industries of the people of the United
States, and you thereby promote the prosperi-
ty of the whole mass of people. What market
have you now for your agricultural products
anywhere in the world outside of this country,
save in case Of foreign war or famine? None
whatever.
Mr.. Chairman, stand upon the philosophy
of Andrew jackson, the "noblest Roman" of
all Democrats, who said that in proportion as
you multiply the industries of the people you
promote the prosperity Of all.

THE FAMILY AT THE TABaE.

The faully board should be honored
of ali, Nth joy, peace, and love. II
is q shrine where churlishness, coldness,
silence and frown should have no place.
1t may be made thrice a day the scene
of festival richer and rarer than picnics
in wooded groves, or sumptuous feasts in
Cilded saloons. Its offerings may be
frugal and humblc-no matter, better is its
dinner of herbs, if Favored with love and
spiced with cheerful vivacity, than the
rich courses of grand hoIel, where
hundreds swallow and gulp amid CHATTER
of dishes, regardless of each others pres
ence-or the weary and monotonous
meals of the boarding house, where the
people know each other too well to be
entirely reserved, and too little to be
familiar. Each assemblage round the
family table has its peculiar charm, and
each may be made feast.
The table is no place for stiff dignity. or
austerity. Biting bread and butter, and
taking soup from a spoon may be done
!sisurely and gracefully; but infused digni-
ty and stiffness is inexcusably ridiculous.
Hunger is a leveler, and eating and drink
ing one of the most delightful pleasures.
No one has right to disguise the innocent
satisfaction of it at the family board by the
affection of an exemption from so
human a weakness as an appetite, or dis
dain of the yiands set before him. The
pleasentist family pictures are those cheer
full dining room assemblages where father,
mother, brothers and sisters eat and drink
cheerily, as though it did them good, and
cloth, urn, dishes and spoons seem to look
happy in the general joy.-TEx.

EETE CHAMPETRE-P
FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.

Col. c NJ McGhee and his estimable
lady, prepared, last night, for number
of the young folks of Knoxville, a rich
treat, in the shape of an open air party,
in which nearly two hundred boys and
girls participated. The elegant grounds
surrounding Col. McGhee's residence,
were brilliantly illuminated, gas jets hay
ing been introduced within the enclosure,
and their brilliant light, added to the
bright moon light, served to make OBJ
jects as plainly visible as in day light,
while the balmy air and cool breezes kept
up the spirits and temper of the party.
The young people enjoyed the party
prodigiously, played games of all kinds,
and amused themselves in various ways,
between times replenishing their appetites
from some one of the numerous tables,
loaded with refreshments, scattered
through the grounds. The affair was one
of the prcttiest scenes that has been
known in Knoxville and was observed by
several hundred spectators, who all joined
in the opinion that Col. McGhce and his
amiable lady know how to give young
people an evenings innocent amusement,
without leaving want unsupplied or a
taste ungratitied.

/" FOR YEARS AND YEARS. -
The PerpetratOr of n Theft, i'm 1866,
il COrnered In 1870.
From the Murfreesboro MoEitor, May 81.

From the Murfreesboro Monitor, May q.
In 1856, a man residing in the neigh
borhoOd of Short Mountain, Cannon
county, Tenn, named S. 3. Turner, came
to MurfreesbOro with what purported
to be a load of sacked dried peaches.
He stepped into the grocery store of the
then well known firm of Clark & Ransom,
on Main street, near the Square, proposing
to sell his fruit to them. While the trade
was progressing, Turner managed to fill
his cspaciOus coat pockets with articles to
the value of about $50. Being
observed by Mr.. Ransom, who COM
municated the fact of the theft to
]. N. Clark, Esq, that gentleman took
Turner to the back part of the store, &C.
cused him. and compelled him to disgorge
the stolen property. In the meantime
Turnersfruit had been bought, paid for and
safely slowed Always; but in looking into the
sacks aiterward, it was discovered that they
contained few peaches only at the top of
the sacks, the remainder, to the amount of
30S pounds, being unpeeled dried apples.
The firm had been cleverly sold" But
Mr., Ransom duly made a minute of the
transaction, and endeavored to find out the
whereabouts of Turner, but in vain.
On Tuesday last, in the good year 1870,
man came to the city, having load of
crockery ware, ETC., for sale. In his rounds
he stepped into the grocery store of Z. N.
Ransom, who thought he had seen the ''fes-
tive cuss" before. Squire Clark also hap
pened to be sitting in the store at the time,
to whom Ransom whispered his suspicious
that the crockery man was no other than
the peach apple man Of 1866. Thereupon
Ransom began to cross-question Mr..
Croekery, but that individual appeared to
be oblivious to all terrestrial things, his
own name and identity included.
Mr.. Ransom then invited ''Crockery" to
his desk, in order to show him the memoir
andum which he had made Of the peach
transaction. Arriving near the desk,
Squire Clark got good look at ''Crock-
cry, and very bluntly charged him of be-
ing the identical Turner Of 1866. The
culprit could stand the pressure no longer;
he commenced to turn pale and tremble;
his knees gave way, and he fell sprawling
upon the floor. Turner afterwards ac-
knowledged the whole transaction, paid for
the deficit of sos pounds of peaches, and
was permitted to depart, which he did in
double quick time, not waiting 10 dispose
of the remainder Of his load.
On his way home, Turner was ques-
toned by one Of the toll gate keepers,
who saw that he had not disposed Of his
load Of wares, etc, He told the keeper of
the gate that he ''had run over a man in
Murfreesboro, and was fined $25 for the
offense."
We hope Short Mountain will be long
enough to hold Turner in future The
only earthly use that could be made Of him
would be to send him to Congress.

roe, of Missouri; Lee, of Virginia; Marshall,

that, unless this was done, Texas and the

Georgia. Winfield, of Arkansas, and An
drews, of Alabama, in opposition. The
latter. said this was but move in the di-
rection of diocesan territories.
Bishop Paine, in behalf of the bishops,
explained the views of the bishops on the
subject, setting forth that they had done
their work; but, in view of the fact that
five new Conferences had been added, they
would agree to an additional bishop, but
would acquiesce in the action of the Con-
ference, if two were asked.
One Bishop Determined On--Dr j. &.
