stances Uf the most trivial CHARACTER,
which would be overlooked By an ig-
norant person, are often seized upon
by a skiIful detective, and sometimes
constitute the most damning evidence
of guilt. In this case, however, every
thing had been done in the most skill
fnl manner, and could not succeed In
making any discoveries
was about to leave the room in de
spair, when, glancing towards the bed,
l noticed what appeared to be slight
scratch on the neck of the murdered
man, just above the gaping wound
which had so crut lily let out his llfe's
blood. On examination, | found il to
be nothing more that a hair, which
had, in some manner probably become
loosened from the head of the assassin,
and had settled on the leck OF the
victim, where it now lay, a silent, yet
truthful, witness, pointing out the
guilty wretch to the eye of justice.
The hair was of a deep red color,
which was totally unlike that OF any
of the household. 1t was, indeed, the
same color and shade as that OF Con-
rad Smithers.
L placed it carefully in my pocket
book, and, saying nothing to any one
of my discovery, started for the resi-
dence OF Smithcrs, intent on doing a
little acting. found him, as his at
tendant said, i'll in bed, and on no ac
connt must he be distube "This
sickness is but ruse," thought, " tt

that wanted to see him butsior
moment on the most urgent business
she finally reluctantly consented t,
entrance. l found him lying upon {
bed, apparently in great pain, In my
youth had studied medicine, and wa'
consequently well informed on sucl
matters, and | saw at once with
quick glance, that he was only felgl
ing sickness. He started up some
what angrily as entered, but silen
ced him with motion of my hand.
"Conrad Smithers, this is desper
ate game you are playing, but it ayal
, You nothing.'
"What do you mean;' he exclaim
ed, springng to his feet, his sicknes
all gone.

took him at once into custody, an
q soon had the satisfaction of seeing hin
change places with Edgar Mortol
who was overjoyed at his release.
Conrad Smithers was tried for til

Obituary Address.

The following brief address vas prepared by
Samuel R. Lewis. Esq. to bs delivered before
the La Sale County Agricultural Society at its
last annual meeting. but owing to circumstances
beyond control, Mr.. Lewis was unable to oe
present:
GENTLkMEN OF THE SOCIETY: Before taking
up the business of the meeting, 1t seems to me
fitting that some reference should DO made to
one whose voice will never again be heard In the
meetings Of this society. Since last We came to.
gether Joel w. Armstrong has passed away from
earth. In his death this society has met with no
common loss. From its origin he has been iden-
titled with it, and was ever interested and active
in its affairs. He served a. President for several
terms, and filled almost every office connected
with it. We regarded him as one of its strong and
| willing friends, for such he had proved himself
to DO on many occasions and in many ways.
His whole busy life was spent in developing
the interest which this society aims to encourage
He was no mere whitshsnded agricultural
theorist; he had worked bis way up from the
bottom TO the top, and knew what work was
and how it ought to be done; but he believed in
progress and improvement in bloodec horses and
| thoroughbred cattle. Few had done as much
and none more than he to advance the agricul-
tural interest Of this county. With his personal
gu alities you are all familiar, he was wise TO
oecloo ana prompt 10 execute. AAIs eiucieucy Ia
| carrying out plans and contriving means to ends
was remarkable. Those of rs who have been
associated with him in various positions OF pub
lie responsibility have had abundant evidence Of
this. He had clear and decided opinions and
was strenuous in maintaining them, but he was
also generous to an opponent, and he never cher.
ished malice or ill.will against those. who diff.
fered with him. He WAS frank, cordial, hospita.
able. an active citizen, . hearty, whole.souled
friend He was shrewd in business. keen to see
how two dollars could DO made from one, and
quick to seize fair opportunities of gain, bat he
was = man Of strict in rity, sl.o honorable in
his dealings aud true to his word. In all these
respects he was a man whose like we have too
Few of-a man we know not how to spare. He
was my friend for almost 40 years. In business
and in social relations We have been brought in.
to intimate acquaintance. Long ago 1 learned
that his abilities were far above the common
order: long ago learned to recognize in his
words szd actions the impulses Of kind and
generous heart We were not OF the same polit.
cal party, but he was not one to permit partisan
prejudice to interferelwith his friendships. His
death touches me me moro deeply than can ex.
press. At the age which many of have reached
it hard to form new friendships. and we greatly
miss the old friends who were tried and true.

WHAT FOWLS TO kEEP.-COmmlttee
appointed by the Farmers Club of New
York, to visit the poultry show, and report
what breed of poultry to keep, made re-
port to the club, of which the following is
the substance:
What breeds are at present most priced
A. Different breeders disagree, but it is at
present thought that the majority prefer the
Houdans, dark and light Brahmas, and
Leghorns.
b Are pure breeds preferable? A. The
pure breeds are better than half-breeds. as
layers, but not quite so hardy.
X, What fowls are best layers? A. White
Leghorns and Aylesbury ducks. .a.
Which grow fastest and are most dressed
meat :? A. Creve C@urs, light and dark
Brahmas, and Aylesbury ducks.
For eggs and flesh both, which are the
best? A. Houdans.
For favor and tenderness of flesh, which
breeds excel? A. Houdans, Dorking OF
Game. and Rouen ducks.
For mothers, which have you fount
best? A. Game and Dorking.
Is the Dorking hardy in climate? A. No
What feeding and range do you recon-
mend? A. Ground feed in the morning
mixed with warm water, whole gram a
night, a little meat occasionally in the win
ter, with some broken oyster-shells, all thu
range possible, and a good, warm house arr
all that is necessary.
What is your opinion of poultry-raisinl
on Large scale? A. 1t can be done witt
great profit if the ground and houses ar
large enough. Every hundred fowl
should have at least an acre.
