Is II the Horse Disease Among The pOul.

We have bad news for thanksgiv-
ing day. Up the Hudson and from
the highlands md lowlands of this
river back to the Susquehannab, and
how much further We know not, a ter.
riblo disease has broken out among
tho poultry. Chickens arc dying
from it by hundreds, and duck', geese
and turkeys in tho market arc said to
betray evidences Of the same ioalady.
It appears to resemble tho epzooty {;
the fowl affected has running at the
nose. But in addition to this symp.
tom Of SScatarrb, the victim becom es
dizzy, its head swells and it soon dies
as Of cerebro, spinal meningitis. In
another part Of this paper, we give tho
latest information on tho subject, and,
from the facts presented, it appears
that this disease is really assuming
tho form Of destructive pestilence
among our domestic fowls.--N. Y.

A GfsGlan WOman's Stratagem.

Ast6I Iyacomes FROM Athens about

mas Ivy certain day, or the life Of
the boy--he was only twelve years
old--would ruy the forfeit. AS usu-
! al, too, the hope which y mother could
cherish in such frightful position was
the chance of government help. The
wre!chedly weak administrations
which play at Sin and out" in Athens
still allow these scoundels to hold the
roads and passes of the country, and
this poor woman had to ttust to hci
own courage and wits. Neither were
wanting, there was some true old
Odyssean blood in her, and she hit
upon plan for saving both her child
aud her drachmas. She had a absother,
a young fellow of perfect pluck,
though his checks were ny smooth as
the Helian Appolo's, and him she
dressed up carefully as q Greek girl.
Having appointed to meet the robber
chief in certain spot she took up

but as we do not get out for a week
after the news ceases to be news, we
will merely state, that the evidence
was against Barnhat, and he would
undoubtedly have been found guilty
of manslaughter, had not his counsel
put in plea of insanity.
His Honor Judge Wetmore charged
the jury, which retired for few min
utes aud brought in the following yer.
dict:
We find that the defendant, vii.
liam Barnhart, was insane at the time
he committed the offence for which he
is indicted, and acquit him OH the
ground of such insanity:
The Jury also, ON full examination,
find that there is reason to believe a
cure of such insanity may speedily be
effected by sending said William Barn.
hart to the Lunaiic Hospital.

DO:
We, the Grand Jurors in and for
the county of Forest-Dec. Term 1871
do present the following:
1st. That we have visited the county
Jail, and we fnd the facilities for heat
ing the same are entirely insufficient.
The stoves now provided for that pur.
pose are useless. We therefore unani-
mously recommend that the proper
officers Of the county he required to
drovide suitable stoves or other appa-
ratns for thoroughly heating the cells.
2d. That the bridge across the Tio-
nesta Greek at Lacytown, in Green
township, is unsafe and dangerous,
and immediate action should be taken
by the proper authorities scarborough
ly repair the same.
Sd, That the proper officers of the
county should provide sufficient zinc,
to be placed under the stoves in the
Court House, to Ptotect the same from
FIRE. j. ID. Hunt, Foreman.

true bills against Patrick Clune for
