An old primitive Methodist
preacher who was going to preach in
the little chapel at Bristol, got SO
wet that he had to borrow a pair of
unmentionablcs from his host,
who had but his everyday breeches
at liberty, which, unknown to both,
were occupied by a colony Of ants.
As the old gentleman warmed in
the service, the ants got more and
more lively, and very soon after he
commenced his sermon the itch be-
came intolerable, and no amount Of
scratching appeased it. Not know
ing how to account for it, but find-
ing it impossible to go on, he stop
ped and SAID: "My friends, | am
sure ! have got grace in my heart,
but | believe the devils in my
breechesp'

How 4 DUTcHMAN GOT EVEN.
One time there lived a joyial
Dutchman whose name was Hames
Won Shrimpetiffel. lie had wife.
He also had q little grocery, where
beer and such personal property
was sold. lie gave creditto a par
eel Of dry customers and kept his
book with a piece ofwbite chalk on
the leadboard of his bedstead.
One day Mrs. Shrimpetiffel, in a
neat fit, took it upon herself to clean
house and things. So she did, and
she cleaned the headboard, and soap
and water settled the old mans ac-
counts by wiping away every chalk
mark.
Pretty soon the old vender Of
things camefnto the house and saw
what ruin his frau had wrought.
Then he said:
"NIein Gott, Frau Shrimpetiffel,

His frau left the room i'll fear and
disgust. When she returned he
had covered the hcad-board with
chalk marks. Then she said:
"ITannes, you make dem all right
again, don't til"
"Vell, my frau, | make de tig-
ures all, but | put down some pet

WORKING AND FATTENING FooD.
We begin to thing that the old
distinction between the food Of a
working and q fattening animal
must soon be abandoned, and
that it will be found that the food
which is best adapted for q bullock
kept close to the plow is also that
which is most likely to put up meat
on a fattening bullock, and to stim-
ulate the lacteal secretion in the
mich cow. The recent inyestiga-
The Albany register. [volume] (Albany, Or.) 1868-18??, 1872-02-23

tions Of Volt, HsughtOn, Fick
Wiskcemus, and others prove that
fat and other Don-nitrOgenous foods
are those chiefly used in maintain
ing the motions Of the body. Ifthe
results Of these psychologists inqui-
ries be accepted, then it is quite eyi-
dent that horses should be ted Oh
food rich in ''rat-fonuing'' elements
of nutrition. We should, if this
view be correct, feed our horses,
then, on Indian corn and oil-cake,
rather than upon beans aud oats.

Mr.. SEwARp's MISTAKE. -
James Brooks writes to a New
York paper from China: "Ihey
tell a good story in Pekin of Gov.
Seward when here-doubtless a lie,
but too good a story to be lost tor
that. The expectations of the ex-
Governor were doubtless great
when he entered the great capital
empire, with which he had made a
great treaty, and he therefore IN
dulged in the great expectation
Of a great welcome. As he entered
the gates Of Pckip, great funeral
procession was coming out, with
music, catafalque, etc, ETC., all as
imposing as a grand procession Of
some great dead man could well be
made. The Governor was entering
with the marine band Of the Colo
RADIO, mounted on donkeys, as the
grand procession was going out.
The grSatliving and the great dead
thus mt. The Governor naturally
enough concluded this in honor Of
his gpnd entree, and he rose in his
open sedan chair, and bowed, and
then ordered a halt. and got out
and bowed, and bowedagain, tothe
catafalque and the dead. The Chi
nese think all foreigners are rather
mad, and hence did not marvel over
it as much as they might, but when
Governor Seward found out what
he had done, the story is he was
more mad than pleased"

THE OHIO HORROR.

AN INSANE sPIRITUALIsT ACCUSES HIS
WYE or BEISG A WITCH ASD KILLED
HER.
CIScISSATI, March 1l.--Further psrticu-
lars in regard 10 the murder Of a woman
and three little children near Dayton on
Saturday night, indicate that the murder
was committed by their father, Leonard
Marquard. who is evidently insane, from
n spiritual cause. The story Of the affair,
which the man himself tells is that n few
days ago he read chapter to his family
from tie Bible, and then raising up ac-
cused his wife Of being witch and using
wi,chcraft. He says the Oldest daughter
confirmed him in his accusatioL. He says
also that on Saturday night he told his
wife that he wanted their children to
leave that both he and his wife stripped
naked, knelt down and prayed for fifteen
minutes they then slipped the two chill
dren, took them out and drowned them,
AID laid them side by side on the bank Of
the stream. They then dashed out the
brains Of the infant and left it lying in
the woods after which they returned
home and went to bed. After lying there
fifteen minutes be told his wife that he
wanted to send her to Heaven also, and
Immediately fell upon her and stbbed her
10 death. Aftcr this he arose and prayed
till 3 click in the morning when he went
10 the nearest neighbors and told the
whole story. Marquard is German
farmer and has been in this country about
eighteen years. The murdered woman
was his second wife.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The Chronicle special from Dayton
gives the testimony before the coroner's
jury Of Elizrbe,h, ages seven and Habs-
ksk aged six. They testified that their
father and mother, after dark on
Saturday night, hunted for all
the children. They two hid.
They heard the mother take two OF the
children and the father the baby. There
WAS n light snow. The mother and father
killed the three with their hands. The
father killed the baby first md then the
mother killed Leah and Samuel They
came into the house naked and began
praying TO God in Heaven. The children
saw the three dead on the ground, and the
mother and father naked. The two chill
dren vere hunted for by the parents after
the death Of the three others, but were not
found. They got away to the straw-stack
at daylight Sunday, and stayed there un-
I'll found in the afternoon. The skull Of
the babe, six months old, was all mashed
in. Post-mortems were bad of the mother
and three children. The examination is
still going on.
