farmers keep horses and cattle, and have
plenty ofmanure and it may be mentioned
that the quantity used in forming mushroom
beds Is not lost, for it can, when new beds are
made, be returned to the manure yard 1t
must be borne in mind, too, that there is no
necessity to build aplace TO grow this vegeta-
BILE. It can be grown almost anywhere in an

of almost every kind, where the soil in beds
can be kept from freezing.

The St. Louis Times Washington specia

The St. Louis Times Washington special
says of Pennsylvania politics:
Aleck Mcclure has put vast amount of
energy in the cause during the last two
weeks, and will probably take over to Gin
cinnati one of the ablest and most infiuen-
tlal delegations that has ever attended
national convention from that State. Com
delphia, it is as a congress Of statesmen to a
gang Of ward roughs. The dissatisfaction
with the Republican State ticket is SO great
that there is strong talk of Withdrawing it.
Generals White and Todd, who were nomi-
mated for congressman at large, have not
yet accepted, and, it is rumored, will not.
Colonel Jordan, the present Secretary of
State, has declared himself opposed to the
new ticket, and will most probably unite
with the Liberals.

says:
A remarkable scene in Western court

day. man indicted for murder was ac
quilted by the jury, whereupon a relative
Of tina deceased drew pistol in open court
and shot the prisoner and presiding judge
dead. A terrible fight ensued, during which
eleven persons were killed and many
wounded. Verify. the partitions which
separate the civilization of our frontier from
the most primitive savagery are as thin and
insecure as those by which the poet divides
'great wit from madness" Such peculiar
illustrations as this. let us be thankful, are
not common; but their absence does not
conceal the undisciplined temper. which too
often sets Western justice oscillating be-
tween farce and tragedy.

Racing Match.

We learn that the long controversy be-
tween Messrs. David Bidwell and John
Hawkins has finally come to point. There
has been great rivalry between these gen.
tlemen for more than year past as to who
has the fastest team, both having very fest
horses. They propose to try the metal of
their respective steeds for $1,000 side on
Thursday next, May 2, at the Metairie
course. This match will certainly create a
sensation among horse men, az it will be
the most exciting and interesting of the
season.
