disappeared; her neck, arms and bosom, pow

blessing on the Inventor of the article which
wrought such delightful transformation.

In another place will be found an ar
ticle from the St. Adams Messenger, rel
alive to the course of Mr.. Greeley in his
hostility to the denomination of Gen.
Grant. Much that has appeared in the
Tribune of late, is calculated to divide
and break up the republican party, and
it is very naturally sought for by the
democrats for that purpose. Many OF
the attacks Of the Tribune upon repub-
lican leaders, is as intensely partisan as
anything it can find in what it is pleas
ed to call "party papers" and the same
is true of others of the same class of
papers SO ferociously independent. "
Their independence has carried them
into the merest personal contest against
individuals. If such and such republic
cans are nominated they are ready to
support them, if others are nominated,
then they give US blast from the trum-
pet of the sacred right of boiling" and
really they are occupying the most mar
row ground of journalism.

that some people set things too high.
Just think of taking six acres to keep a
horse one year; we have farmers that
keep four horses, twenty-four acres to

A FIEND.-A villain who richly de-
serves hanging, named Horatio n. Shell
don, and a resident of Valatie, Hudson
New York, has been sent to jail for six
months and fined $50, for inhumanly
beating his son, only five years of age.
1t appears the little sufferer was found
in the road on the 18th inst, by kind
hearted gentleman, who, on questioning
him, learned that his father had whip
ped him. and that he was afraid to 90
home. Upon examination it was found
that he had been most cruelty and un-
mercifully beaten. His whole side was
black and blue, and there were several
sores on his body. While the boy was
conversing with the gentleman the faith
er came up and ordered him home. The
boy was so lame he could not walk rapid
ly, when the fiendish father ordered him
to move faster. The boy begged the gen.
tleman to accompany him, saying his
father would kill him The gentleman
made complaint to magistrate, who is
sued a warrant for the arrest of the
scoundrel father. and he was speedily
arrested and arraigned on the charge.
The boy was found to have been most
numerically and dangerously whipped.
His body was literally bruised all over,
and all the evidence tended to show that
he had been most terribly beaten. He
could not stand erect or raise either arm
to his shoulder.
Thursday of last week his father sent
him out to steal wood, and because be
did not obey him he whipped him with a
piece of trace. The next day he tied
his hands behind his back and the next
day, a neighbor says, he called in and
found the boy tied hand and foot and
lying beneath the table. Saturday night
week he again tied him hand and foot,
and put him up in loft without bed
and left him until morning. On Sun.
day he gave him the third whipping,
from the effects of which he is now sui.
fering intense pain. The magistrate
asked the brute whether he was not sor.
ry that he had treated the child SC
shamefully, and he quickly replied with
great emphasis he has the spirit of his
mother in him, and will take it out. y
The mother died some time since, and
marks of violence are said to have been
found on her person.

HARD WINTER.-In regard to the
loss of cattle by the winter, a Washing.
ton territory paper has the following
Accounts reach us from Yakima valley
to the effect that large numbers of cattle
are dead and dying. The winter in thu I
quarter has been very hard and the ia
tality among cattle unprecedented. A
large band belonging to Mr.. Connell, in
Clickitlt county, havenearly all persisted.
Other persons are named as heavy suf-
terers. From Montana the news is to
the effect that the winter has been I'M
precedently hard, and that the cattle
are dying by hundreds. From British
Columbia the report is that horses, cat.
tie and mules are all dying from the
want of food. From the Union Flat
country We hear that one man has lost
300 head, and that Others have suffered
severely. In our own (Walla Walla)
valley the loss thus far has not been very
great, and possibly 1900 head will cover
the whole number that has persisted. In
the Payette and Boise valleys there has
been but little snow this winter, and
stock has done very we'll. The loss
throughout the country, however, has
been very great.

"To JEw".-It appears that our die
tionaries are ali wrong, after all. The
Jewish Messenger publishes correspon.
dence between A. S. Solomons of Wash
ington, and the publishers of Webster's
and Worcester's dictionaries, in which
Mr.. Solomons seeks to have the lexico-
graphy of the verb "to jew" rectified,
so as to spare the feelings of the Israel.
itish portion of the community. This
verb in Webster is defined, "To cheat
or defraud; to swindle. (ColloquiaD."
The complaint is that this definition
60 does violence to the religious feelings
of our fellow-citizens by assisting TO per-
petuate the bigotry of past age. =
After some attempts to substitute new
definition, both the Merriams, and Brew
err d Tileston (the dictionary publishers)
have acceded to this view, and in no flu
ture editions of either Webster or Wor.
cester will the verb "jew" appear. The
Springfield Republican thinks New Eug-
landers might as well demand to have
the word puritanical" expurgated from
these books, and some other words which,
although expressive and true, hit on the
raw.

Post-office Lobby for ti.eir business let
tiers, and love letters especially, on the
arrival of the southern mail, and are
almost out of patience at what seems to
them unnecessary delay, are not aware
of what hurried work is going on in

are examined, assorted and twice handled
in those few minutes labor which
could not be performed in SO short a
time, except by the most perfect system,
where every man knows precisely what,
where, when and how to do, and does
it with all his might. 1t would prob
ably take raw hands half a day to do

in half an hour, almost without mis-
take"

body was then placed in a coffin, and
started for the Sleepy Hollow cemetery.
As the coffin was about to be lowered in.

coed from the inside of the coffip, which

enough to discover that the man was

WooL.-It is striking fact that wool
is at this moment scarce and dear all over
the world, in Europe as well as in Amer
lea. During the year 1871, prices rose
from 30 to 70 per cent. in the London
wool market, and the rise in Boston since
January, 1871, is still greater. For the
first time since our war, the over produc-
ton of wool, stimulated by that cotton
less epoch, has so far subsidized as to re-
duce the supply decidedly below the de-
mand. The European war and the wide
extension of wooden wearing occasioned
by the cheapness of the staple, have at
length enabled the consumption to over
take the production, and now to pass by
1T. In 1871, our production fell off from
one hundred and sixty-three million
pounds, and we imported seventy-eight
million, an increase of fifty millions
Now, all the wool producing countries
are growing less of it. The prospect for
high prices for at least half year is
quite certain, and the dearth may last
much longer.

was still breathing, and on the arrival of
Drs. Stiles and Clark, she at first resist

save her life, she insisting that she did
the deed herself, and meant to die. But
she finally yielded and was put under
the influence of chloroform, and the
proper dressing took place, and at last
accounts she was in fair way to re-
covery.

A LuDIcRoUs BLUNDER.--It will be
remembered that the other day, in the
United States Senate, Mr.. Chandler Of
Michigan made vehement announce
ment that some party or parties were en-
gagged In ioraging his frank to docu.
ments of opposite members of Congress,
having the laugh turned against him by
another Senator who likewise complained
that some one had been using his frank
to send to his constituents one of Chan
dler's speeches. This strange misappli-
cation of a privilege of doubtful utility
proves not to have been device of the
enemy, but the result of funny blunder,
which the Washington Chronicle relates
as follows:
The committee ON Contigent Expenses,
after grave and solemn investigation I;
find that number of thousands of
speeches of various Senators were sent
TO lady to be folded and put in enve-
lopes. She innocently did her work
promiscuously, piled them all into one
heap, aud then carefully counted out the
number for each. Imagine Chandler
proudly ranking Blsir's anti-Kuklux
speech and Schurz's attack on the Ad-
ministration to his red-hot Republican
supporters in Michigan, while Blair com
placently loads the mails for Democrats
of his own stamp with Morton's speech
styling him "the political offspring of
Schurz," and Schurz meanwhile hurry
