A Youthful MOnstrOsity.
From the Jackson (Mich.) CT,

A warrant was sworn out yesterday before
Justice Dyre, for the arrest of Ira Gavtt, of the
town of Summit, for assault and battery upon
William Henry Forbes, boy whom he has EN-.
ployed upon his farm. The complaint alleged
that Gavitt was wont to chain the boy up in
room, and otherwise misuse him. The warrant
was placed in the hands Of Policeman Piersoa
and ellison, who proceeded to Summit and ar.
rested Mr.. Gavitt. Mr.. Pierson went to the
field to serve the warrant, while Mr. Gibson re-
NAMED behind to watch the boy, who was sup.

"To handle hogs TO the best advan

grasses, clover, blue grass and timothy,

better where there arc no branches

thereof, have good wcllwater pumped
for them. Have troughs made, and

down in the water, and let these hogs

Error i'm the Treatment al Horses.

A popular error, which bears hard on
the horse, is the custom Of making the
axles of conveyanccs of all sorts of one
uniform width This custom is of
ancient date, and it has caused great
dctriment to our public highways, both
in the town and country It is not,
perhaps, saying too much TO assert,
that the uniform adherence Ia it has
cost our highway department, for
the last fifty years, hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. Had there been a
latitude or play of from ten to twelve
or fourteen inches in the tread of the
wheels, especially in carts and wagons,
it would have been impossible to have
cut our pavements into the ruts we now
see, and which renders hauling SO diff
ticult along our streets and roads.
Like the Connestoga wagons of the
last generation, with their broad tires,
a difference IN the width of our axles
would have improved rather than dam
aged our highways, and we should not
see them cut into alternating ridges
aud ruts, as SO many of them are now.
