The Lost Found.

In 1865 young son of DIR. r. A. Pinks-
ton, then only eleven years of age, left his
home near Peytonville, Williamson cOun-
ty, with an Indiana regiment, and follow
ed it until its DISARMAMENT, without the
knowledge of his parents, who had given
him up for lost. Subsequent to the dis
bandment of the regiment, he travelad ex-
tensively, served three years in the Brit
ish navy, and finally joined the seth Brit
ish regulars, stationed in Ireland, where
his father first received tidings of his
whereabouts. DR.. Pinkston at once set
about procuring his discharge, and sue
ceeded in doing so through the interposi-
ton of the British Minister at Washing
ton. Yesterday the Doctor and his long
lost son arrived in Nashville, registered
at the Commercial Hotel, and subsequent
ly left for home, which the wanderer had
not seen in seven long years. Young
Pinkston has grown to be manly young
fellow, and is all the better fitted, from his
varied experiences, for life's rough battle.

CONTROLLING THE SEX IN BREEDING
The Western Farmer says: "Wm. Beebe,
of Freeport, ILL.,, informs US that his OBJ
servations and experiments in his own
herd strongly incline him to believe in the
correctness of the theory that if COW is
served atthe commencementof the heat she
will, probably, produce heifer calf, if
not served until the heat is passing off, she
will, probably, produce bull calf: OF all
the theories suggested concerning. this
matter, this seems to have the sanction OF
the greatest number of breeders. The well
known experiments in Switzerland seemed
to 60 far towards proving its correctness;
but we think it will be found true that
very many have fsiled in their attempts to
apply this rule in their own herds. "

Mrs FAIRS Casa San Francisco
correspondent of the New York Herald
has had a somewhat remarkable interview
recently with Mrs. Fair, the murderess of
Crittenden, in her cell in the San Francis
co Jail. This strange woman, it seems,
contested the right OF Crittenden to live
with his wife because they did not love
one another, and holds to it that she (the
murderess) and Crittenden were the lawful
pair because they did love one another.
Accordingly, in moment of temporary
insanity, ohe shot Crittenden, and now re-
GREETED only one thing-that he was not
present to defend her. She feels confident
of a final reprieve because, as she says, her
case is political one, and when she is
tried again there will be a new judge on
the bench

SUGGESTION TO Corn RAIsERs.
common practice in the Northern States is
to cut up corn close to the ground as soon
as the grains have hardened and the leaves
begin to become dry. 1t is important for
the sake of preserving the fodder in good
condition, to set the shocks evenly and
firmly, so as to escape injury from the
storms and to dry well before husking.
When they incline or fall over, the fodder
is nearly ruined and the ears water-soaked.
