ARREST OF TIE NoroRIoUs J. G. NoRBIs.
On Sunday afternoon, Mr.. j. G. Norris,
who claims to be United States Deputy
Marshal. the Same notorious individual
who figured so conspicuously in the
Warren County prosecutions somo time
ago. was arested in this city upon the
authority of bench warrant issued by
the Superior Court of Warren County.
The arrest was made by policeman
Couch, and Norris WAS conveyed by the
|8 p. NJ. train to Warrenton. lie is
charged with being accessory before the
fact in tho murder of Chas. Wallace, q
citizen of Warren County.
After learning the facts of the case,
yesterday morning, the United States
olficiuls-at least some Of them claimed
to be much alarmed for Mr.. Norris
safety and life, some of them maintain
ing that it was the intention OF this
"mob, as they termed it, 10 assassinate
Mr.. Norris. So yesterday afternoon, ut
2 o'clock, detachment of ten Federal
soldiers, under tho command of Lieute-
nant Bateman, was despatched to War
renton. Upon iEquiring upon what au-
thority this was done, wo were informed
by the United States authorities that
these soldiers were sent at the instance of
several individuals who made affidavit
that Mr.. Norris life was endangered, aud
that 1T was not the intention of this force
to Interfere with any legal process
against Mr.. Norris, but TO protect him
in case of violence.
This individual. j. G. Norris, was for
merly citizen Of Warren County. In
1869 he was appointed deputy sheriff in
that County by Gen. Terry. then mill
tary commander of the District of Gcor-
gia, Florida anu Alabama In 1869 he
was indicted by the grind jnry of that
County for false Imprisonment of divers
persons He Was also indicted for the
crime or being ncctssoTy before The fact
in tho murder Of Charles Wallace, for
which he is now under arrest He was
arrested with warrants for oil these
charges. Governor Bullock granted
him pardon for false imprisonment on
the ground that the accusations ngninst
him were founded on an alleged ille-
gality In his appointment, when, in fact,
no reference was made in the indictments
to the manner or legality of his appoint
ment, and the sole ground of the prose-
cution was that he arrested and impri-
soned persons without warrants and
without giving them the opportunity of
being heard before court of inquiry.
The pardon does not refer at all to the
accusation OF the grand jury in the case
OF the murder OF Wallace. There can
be no pretence that the offence has been
pnrdoned by Bullock
1t has been intimated by some that
this arrest was prcme,litatcd, so as 10
occur Mt the time when Norris was en-
deavoring to force Hancock to South Ca
rolina. This. however, We are assured
is entirely mistake. The bench war
rant, upon which he Was arrested, was
issued by Hon. Garnett Andrews, Judge
of the Superior Court of the Northern
Circuit, and dated April l. 1872.

A FIGHT WITH AN ALL1aAroR.-A
Starke (Florida) letter to the Savannah
Ne,cs. sends to that paper the following
account: On the afternoon of the Goth,
as MIR. William Kelly. an old citizen of
Bradford County, was returning homo
from Starke.. he espied an alligator
basking in the mud by the roadside.
Hc disnounted. and. taking a hatchet
from his cart, approached the reptile for
q fight. In the twinkling of an eye his
feet were knocked from under him, and
his leg caught in the monsters mouth.
Being an old man, the fight would
have gone against him had not colored
man by the name of George Ruff, who
happened to be passing along, despatch
ed the alligator with q pistol. Mr..
Kelly's leg was considerably lacerated,
80 much 30, that it is probable he will
never again attempt to chop Saurian
with his little hatchet.

SUPPOSED IDENTlrIcATIoS.- On yes
terduy, Chief of Police J. a. Christian
received letter from Mrs. Rachel r.
Small, Of Parachucln, S. c.. iu which
she stated that she had read the account
OF tho body OF n man having been found
on tho Eve plantation. near this city,
and had no doubt but that it was tho
body Of her husband, Daniel w. Small.
Mr.. Small, it appears. left home in the
middle of last December. to 60 to Sa-
vnnnah on important business, aud has
never been heard of since. Mrs. Small
states that he was last seen mt Savannah
getting on the cars for this city. He had
quito large amount of money owing
him in this city, and Mrs. Small thinks
that he collected it and was afterward
murdered by some person or persons,
who robbed him and then threw the
body in the river; although, Ms she says,
he may have been accidentally drowned.
The knife and boots found with tho
body correspond exactly with those Mr..
Small had. The height of the body also
corresponds with that of her husband.
Mrs. Small intends coming to Augusta
aud having the body disinterred for the
purpose Of perfect Identification, if
possible. We trust that the mystery
may be cleared up Mt an early day in the
future. u9usfa Constlutionalisf, 9h.

Onions,

In report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture for 1869 there il an elabOr-
ate article on onions, treating largely
on such varieties as are raised in this
country, with ample directions for sue
cessful culture. But not word il said
of the onions of Egypt and Syria, one
of the best vegetables ever raised, aud
Of such value for human food, that
from the days of the Pharaohs to this
hour, its importance has been fully ed
tablished. .e'
The Oriental onion has no tuber. It
resembles some kinds of nine-pins, be-
ing about foot long when well grown
and bulged out i'm the middle. Some
times it may be two or threee inches,
if not more, I'm diameter, taIering each
way. 1t is mild-witnOut the stingiug
quality of our OnioDs-and exceedinly
nutritious, eaten raw. They are rare
ly cooked, but sliced and each mouth
full alternated with bread of the cOun-
try, meet all the demands of an empty
stomach. Perhaps 1T ought to be recOg
niZed as the leek on which CheOps fed
thousands of stone masons while con-
structing his pyramid, referred to by
Herodotus, who saw q tablet on one
side when he travelled on the Nile, ON
which the cast Of their food was regis
tered.
Unfortunately they cannot be propa-
gated in the United States. We Lreught
two or three onions home in 1851 which
grew well but degsnerated the third
year into Old-fashioned onions, in spite
of all efforts to the contrary.

HOeing Potatoes.

One of the secrets of success i'm pota-
to growing is to give them a hoeing at
the proper stage OF growth; one killing
is sufficient; and this should be given
when the vines are about elk inches
high. Previous to this use the culti-
vatOr freely-keep the earth on the
surface free from weeds. When at the
stage of growth mentioned, give good
killing, making the mound broad and
fiat on the top, and little Gaping;
after this do no more than to cut out
weeds. The hoeing is best done soon
after a rain.
Some advocate flat culture, and 9TH
ers two killings, but we have never,
succeeded with either of these plans,
nor do the most successful potato grow
ers advocate them. Two killings will
make two settings, and result in a
large number of small potatoes at har-
vest time. Flat culture may do on
deep loamy soil, where the roots can
ramify and form tubers readily, but a
clay soil billing i'm the old fashioned
way is the one most certain to make
good returns.

SDrains and Bruises.

These injuries are sometimes very dis
tressipg aud their consequences very
serious. The dense ligaments and
s, novial membranes of tie joints swell
and sometimes inflame, as the result
of local injuries, and the pain is often
extreme. But, simple water is all the
treatment necessary i'm any case. 1t
should, however, be of a temperature
adapted to the circumstances, the indi-
cation being to unload the congested
vessels of the injured Part as much as
possible. If the part is hot and painful
apply cold water or bold wet cloths,
frequently renewed, until the heat Le-
comes normal. III there is pain or ten
derness without increased heat, apply
lamentations until the pain is relieved.
All the afrer dosing required in either
case is wet cloth covered with dry
one, and worn until all tenderness il
gone. This simp'e treatment will do
all that auy medica ion can do, and is
better than all the liDiments and To-
tons. plaslers and poultices, that wer g
ever invented.-HcieRce of Health.

IMPROVEMENT OF STOCK.-At q re-
cent farmers discussion in Scotland,
the following points were taken up as
the leading essentials i'm securing the
improvement OF stock: 81, pure blood;
9, ahigh strain of blood; 3, sound con-
stitutiOn free of hereditary disease; 4,
substance, symmetry and quality; S, a
dOcile temper" One of the speakers
gave the following good advice since,
as he said, it is most important for any
farmer that he should proceed as rapid
ly, and at as little outlay, as possible:
GAS it is the general recognized max
i'm that the exterior form partakes
more of the conformation of the sire
than the dam, and as one sire will to
some extent improve the whole of each
years stock, while female gives but
one superior beast, | would say procure
superior males at whatever cost; ant!
should they be expensive for the size
of the farm, let two or three farmers
join in the purchase and keep of one
animal.

MY 8mU OxVtCAs
The Working Nzsnser gives the fol-
lowing opinion Is to the time when
clover, timothy, de-, should be cut:
Timothy il better after the seeds are
formed, and should be cut when the
latter are between the milk and dough
state. In curing all kinds Of hay, turn
with hay tedder about 8 A. NJ, and If
the weather is good It may be cured and
drawn into the barn the same day;
otherwise It is best, especially with
clover, to place in high slender cocks
and clover with hay caps. Clover
ought to be cured without much expo
sure to the sun, and it is we'll to sweat
it in the cock. Ifyour moving grounds
are not i'm q condition for the use Of
moving, tedder and raking niacbines,
let not another season pass without eff
fectiDg this great improvement. In
the present stage of agriculture, when
so many laboring saving machines are
in the market, and when SO few labor
ers understand how to NOW and rake
and pitch hay efficiently, it docs not
nav 10 depend upon the slow move
ments of the scythe, mandrake and
alone.
Wheat, rye, etc., should be cut when
the grain can be pressed between the
thumb and finger without forcing out
moisture; the yellOwness of the chat
and upper parts Of the straw also in
dictates the harvest. If delayed beyond
this time, much grain will be lost by
sheluing. Grass and grain use up their
juices in ripening the seed. Hence
grass should be cut early to save the
juices, and grain if cut in the dough
tate will mature its seed from the
Juices in the stalk.

RAILROAD ITEMS.

Colonel Joseph JaJues, the repre-
sentative in this vicinity of tho South
ern Security Railroad Company, is, we
believe, an Englishman by birth, but of
long residence in Virginia and East
Tennessee. He has been connected
with the railroads of that Oriental re-
gioh for twenty years. lie is not only
General Manager of the leased road
(Memphis and Cbarleston) but Vice
President of the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia Railroad; and by
virtue of his two offices manages the
line from Bristol TO Memphis, embrac-
ing total length of five hundred and
fifty miles. How it happened that we
dreamed that Col. J. is an Englishman
cannot be satisfactorily exrl- med. 1t
is certainly true that he mighS be very
successful rs rosy faced beef-eater,
who always takes appearances signi-
fly anything halves of 'alf-and-
'alf Colonel Jaques is man of terri
bic energy, and if magnificent head
on brawny shouldeIc do not mislead us,
has eminent ability. He left the city
Saturday to make arrangements for the
organization of dnbroken freight and
passenger lines from this city to the
Atlantic at Nodolk., New York and
Boston. Since there are no pre-exIst-
ing difficulties affecting his personal re
lations with managers of Virginia
roads, it is probable that Norfolk and
Bristol, and Memphis and Bristol lines
will become practically a unit, and
General Malone will escape the neceS-
sity of trinneling the mountains at
Cumberland Gap to reach the Missis-
sippi, through Louisville at Memphis.
W. j Ross, the Superintendent just APP
pointed, for many years filed this posi-
ton on the Memphis and Charleston
road. He is eminentty we'll qualified
by methodical habits, a clear, sound
head and lifelong training for the
place, and the business and travelling
community are we'll pleased. s. Il.
Cruise, Treasurer, and Mr.. g. S. Will
liams, Superintendent at Huntsville,
A. A. Barnes, General Freight and
Ticket Agent, George Robertson, Sec
rotary and Treasurer, and II. p. Barnes,
Master of Transportation, are rs well
known along the line as Barney
Hughes, the head centre of the whole
system of Southern railroad manage
ment, in the city OF Memphis. COLONEL
G. l.. Anderson becoming Auditor-Gen-
eral of the Southern Security Company,
assumes the gravest responsibilities,
and must inaugurate an entirely new
system of accounts. The business of
the company will be rapidly system
atised, and it is said that the number of
.piace-holders will be materially lessen
ed. Very certainly Colonel Jaques
has chosen his subordinates most WISE
Iy, and assigned them places for which
each is peculiarly well adapted.

Grating Wax.

This is an article that every farmer
should keep on hand, ready for use
whenever needed, for it il valuable for
various other purposes beside that of
grating. Wounds made in pruning
large trees will heal over much sooner
If coated with this wax, and if piece
of bark is accidentally stripped from a
tree, the place should be covered over
with it, and the wood will remain
sound aud healthy underneath. There
are several receipts for preparing this
wax, and / found the following better
than any other one tried: Melt in q
basin one pound of tallOw, two pounds
of beeswax and four pounds of r)siD;
stir well together and keep. in cool
place in the dish in which it was melt
ed. If benswsx is very costly item.
Ode-third less quantity can he used.
This wax is most excellent for sealing
the corks of bottles whose contents are
desired to he air tight, AID for covering
cloths to tie over preserve jars. 1t can
be melted over when required for use,
ard it will spread with a knife upon
bandages, etc; it is the best sealing
wax that can be used for many pur-
pose.
