WASHING TON, Oct. 2S.-The process OF
the seasons hasagain enabled the husband
man to garner the fruits of successful toll.
Industry has been generally rewarded.
We are at peace with all nations. Tran
guilty, with few exceptions, prevail at
home. Within the past year we have, in
the main, been free from the ills which
elsewhere affected our kind. If some of
us have had calamities, these should be
occasion for sympathy with the sufferers.
resignation on their part to the will of the
Most High, and rejoicing to the many
who have been more favored. l therefore
recommend that Thursday, the thirtieth
day of November next, the people. meet
in their respective places of worship,
there to make the usual acknowledgements
to Almighty God for the blessings He ha S
conferred upon them, and their ,merciful
exemption from evils, to invoke His pro-
tection and kinkness for their less FORUM
ate brethren whom, in His wisdom, He
deemed it best to chastise. In the faith
whereof / have hereunto set my hand, and
caused the Seal of State to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this the.
twenty-eighth day of October, in the

At first sight, the new Michigan law
may seem harsh one, and in not few
instances, it has met with strong opposi-
tion. 1t is urged that it takes away the
liberty of the subject, and in having edu-
cational laws thus enforced, it makes edu-
cation itself undesirable. and even repul-
sive. But in reality. it may be asked
Is not the State bound to protect itself? ?
Ignorance, through the want or neglect of
proper training in schools. is found, as all
statistics show, the prolific source, or at
crime. Judging from the fact that so
large portion of the inmates of the pri-
sons are uheducated and ignorant, it would
seem as if the want of suitable educa-
tion were the occasion, or at least the
promoter of evil and of all violation of
law. If, then, schools are founded for the
improvement of society, and if everg COM
munity is found to be better for them,
should not the State declare and enforce
the declaration, that the young shall enjoy
these privileg s, and thus have, as far as
such schools can GO, healthful influences
and associations thrown around them? Is
it any real unkindness TO enforce upon a
family or community the means of advanc-
ing their best interests? Rather have the
children go to such schools. When there
are parents whose ignorance is SO besotted,
and whose appetites and pursuits are SO
sordid, that they will not allow their child
rem to attend such schools, let the strong
hand of law compel them, and the State
will yet find, we believe, that it was gain
for it to do so.

Fattcning III ogs.

Every farmer is interested more or less
in this subject. Nine tenths of all our
Western farmers fatten more hogs eve
ry year. and the vast majority Of them do
the work in the same old way and proba-'
bly, will continue to do so till the plan be-
comes ruinously expensive. The usual
plan is to feed corn upon the ground or
in the mud in quantities so large that un-
der the circumstances considerable per
cent. is trampled into the ground and
wasted. When corn is worth one dollar
a bushel, as in the New England States,
feeders cannot afford to waste it in this
way, and they will then learn that pork
can be made much cheaper than IN the
present manner. We suggest, that this
season, when prices are ruling low will be
q proper time to try some of the many
methods for fattening hogs at reduced cx-
pense. We alude to grinding the grain,
stcamng and mixing with Vegetables
Especially do We recommend feeding up
on tight floor and under cover, feeding
at regular periods and in quantities so
moderate that each new supply shall al
ways be attacked with fresh relish and
appetite.

"Rost goose" !" replied bis wife.
'Is there apple-sauce to eat with itY'
he asked.

"Well, 60 and make some; I won't eat
goose without apple sauce"
Edwards was so impressed with the
scene that he had witnessed, when the
woman had left the room to prepare the
delicacy, that for the first time in his life
be began to think what fool hehad been
"Here's this man. said he to himself.
Cant eat his dinner of roast goose with
out apple-sauce. while my poor wife and
children are glad to get herring for
their dinner, and often can't have even
that. Whose money / should like to
know goes to provide this fellow with
good things? Mine, and that of other
poor fools like me. It's no use crying
over split milk, but that fellow shant dine
eff of roast goose any more at my ex-
pense. -
So he paid his reckoning, and walked
out Of the public house never to cntcr it
again.

Young persons of either sex who think
it is the correct thing, on being crossed in
love, to 60 off aud swallow poison socially
together may profit by the example of Mr.
William r. Scott, of Lawrence, Massachu-
sets. Several months ago Mr. Scott loved
Mis- Horr, and his passion was returned.
But fate, or cruel parents, or some other
of the ruthless chances that delight to op-
press unhappy lovers, stood in the way,
and this rustic Romeo and his Juliet sighed
for each other in vain. SO rather than be
divided in life, they elected in death to
be united, and betoOk themselves to the
immemorial solace of blighted love, from
Shakspeare's immortal pair to Wilkins
and Dinah. They went off to the Law
renee Park one evening, first purchasing a
sufficient supply of cold poison, sat down
upon bench, and drank the envenomed
draught-thc girl anticipating and en-
couraging her companion, who seems,
nevertheless. at the last moment, to have
mingled judicious amount of discretion
with his valor, for the girl died, while he
recovered. He was straightway, and very
properly clapped into Jail, and being tried :,
the other day, was found guilty of man.
slaughter. BY this time, no doubt, he is
repenting at leisure in the Massachusetts,
State Prison.
If this salutary verdict has the effect of
discouraging the vulgar scntimeutality
which prompts this kind of suicide it will
be even more praiseworthy than in melting
out deserved punishment to cowardly
and wicked fool 1t is observable that a
majority of cases of this sort the man re-
covers just as Scott did, while the woman
dies. The faminine instinct of self-sacri-
fee is gratifed by the notion of dying for
some beloved object, while the romance of
the situation appeals much more power
fully to the woman than to the man. Per-
haps, too, women under the influence of
strong emotions have, for various physioIo-
gical reasons unnecessary to mention, less
actual fear of death unaccompanied with
pain. AT any rate, without probing the
subject more deeply, an average amount
of attention must have discovered that, in
many instances of selfmurder, the woman
perseveres to the bitter and fatal end.
while the man alters his mind at the last
moment. In all such cases which here
after occur. we trust that the admirable
precedent furnished in Mr.. Scott's SEN
teuce will not be forgotten. 1t is well for
all iDcipient Romeos to know that if they
attempt to kill themselves and their Juliets,
they must either succeed or suffer the
penalty of failure.-Ne,c York Times.

A Romantic Episode.

Henry Dillon, an ex- Union solder, pro-
prietor Of a newspaper stand at Montgome-
ry and Hudson streets, Jersey City, yes
terday received a check for $500 from the
daughter of the late General Stegman, of
the Confederate army. The circumstances
under which the money was paid are ro-
| mantle. During the war Dillon served in
the Second New Jersey Cavalry. He ac-
companied his regiment on Grierson's
famous raid through Mississippi, and while
on a scouting expidition one day encoun-
tered General Stegman and one of his
staff officers. Shots we're exchanged, and
the reble General fell from his saddle,
mortally wounded. The staff officer fed,
but was overtaken and captured by a
comrade of Dillon's. In his dying mo-
meDts, General Stegman requested his
slayer to take from one of his inside pock-
cts his will, bequcathing all his property
to his wife and daughter, and life insura-
nee policy for $4,000 He asked Dillon
to keep them and send them to his family.
After the war Mr.. Dillol. advertised in
vain for the owners, and he resolved to re-
tain possession of the papers until some
inquiries should be made for them. Re-
gently an advertisement appeared in the
Alabama papers offering $500 reward for
the missing will. Dillon answered it and
Geperl Sherman's daughter came North
as the guest of Roger A. Pryor. She re-
lated the particulars of the long search
for the will, the difficulties that had been
encountered, the production of forged
will by her fathers relatives, and their
Mobile lawsuits. She expressed deep
gratitude to Mr.. Dillon for the recovery
of the will. and said that through it her
mother and herself would be enabled to
regain possession of their extensive Ala
bama and Georgia estates. The estates
are valued at 100000.
Dillon is to be supoenaed as witness
in the suits for their restoration to the
rightful owners. Young Dillon calamity
distinguished himself during the war, and
was one of the few private soldiers to
whom Congress; voted gold medal for
bravery.-Nezc York Sun.

We frequently see miserable, half
starved bovine without particle of flesh

its frame together. and having hard, un-
yielding skin covered with dirt and scruff,
put up to be fed for the butcher on dry
hay, to which few roots aud perhaps
some grain is grudgingly added Such q
beast will take months of time and a large
consumption of food to bring it up to the
point at which the process Of laying on
fat will commence or, if highly fed ON
corn-ineal or other rich food, will put on
"a layer Of fat just under the skin, with
scarcely any flesh between that and the
bones, and so be worth but little more sf-
ter feeding up than it would fetch as .
store beast.
Then again there arc thousands of beasts
put up to feed for the butcher bofore they
have attained an age at which they can be
profitable fed. Such animals, though they
may be made passabe enough to suit the
wants of the droycr or low class butcher.
can only be sold at low price and attain
but small weights, while. had they beeu
kept on till they had attained their full
growth, they might be made to vie with
the best and command double or treble

Cattle intended to be winter.fcd for the
