Foul MURDER.-The mysterious disappear
ance of SERENo SMITH of Rome, in this coun-
ty on the 25h of April, was noticed at the
time So far as could be ascertaincd, and all
that could be gathered was from an hredman
named Housed, 22 years of age, temporarily
stopping with the family, was ,hat Mr.. Smith
started for one of the neighbors before break
fast, and stopped on his way to feed some
calves at the barn, which was represented to
have been the last seen of him. His contin-
ued absence rather lead to the conclusion that
he might have wandered away, in fit of alb.

murder Every means, however, was employ.
ed by the neighbors and friends to find him or
his body, but without avail, until Sunday, the
12th inst, when the search was renewed by Il
brother of the deceased with others, and in
the presence of Housed. The manure heap in
the barn yard was opened and the remains
found but little below the surface. Suspicion
fell upon the hired man and he was arrested
coroncrs inquest was held, and two physi-
clans from this place were summoned TO he
present on Monday. From DR.. Enmcs, one of
the two, we are furnished with the following
facts: The clothing on the body was moist
and rotten. Alter removing the clothing, the
head was washed, and found TO be broken up
badly in the back part, and the brains oozins
out; the marks were from 211a TO 8 inches.
Other blows, that may have preceded those
on the back of the head, were visible. These
wounds, in the opinion of the Doctor were
the cause of death. The heart and its valves,
though dccayed, showed little signs of dis
ease. The lungs, liver, kidneys and spleen
were dccaycd, soft, but apparently sound; the
intcslines and stomach were in tolerablc
state of preservation and apparently sound.
Human blood Was found on the floor of one
of the stalls, on the partition and also under
the floor an aX, and n broad AK helve, were
also found with blood upon them. On over
alls and blouse, said by other authority, to
have been Housers, were small quantities of
blood found. Hair was fund upon the AK
which rcsembled that on the temple of the de
ceased but was perhaps trile darker. These
are all the facts furnished us relating to Hous-
els connection with the matter. The provo
cation for such violence cannot be conjcctur-
ed. Smith was farmer, Al years old, and
though in comfortable circumstances, was not
in the habit Of having much money about him
at II time. No difficulty was known to exis,
between him and Housed, and his family re-
latons were harmonious and pleasant. The
fact that the man has remained with the fami-
| ly in the discharge of his ordinary duties
would not indicate guilt The verdict of the
jury, however, was against him, and an arrest
made, holding him for trial. Any further
faols coming to light before the trial, will b,

ties, they were unable to organize a
church without the assistance of the
bishops of other religious communions.
But the only communion which fully
agreed with the Old Catholics in matters
of faith we're the Jansenists, and their
bishops became therefore naturally the
spiritual heads of the whole movement
After long negotiations between the
Jansenists and the German Old Catho-
lies on this subject, the Jansenist Arch
bishop of Utrecht, at the beginning of
July of the present year, visited Munich
and other Bavarian towns, to administer
the Catholic sacrament of confirmation.
1t was the first time that the regular
episcopal functions were again exercised
in an Old Catholic congregation. An
occurrence like this may have far-reach-
ing consequences. 1t is the first step
toward the full and final separation of
the Old Catholics from the Papal church,
and the organization of an Old Catholic
church all through Europe, which may
very soon enter into negotiations for a
union with the Eastern and Anglican
churches, and which, instead of anathe-
matizing Professionalism, will cheerfully
recognize the common christianity of the
Protestant churches.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.-The New
York Sun says In speaking of the
flood which was so disastrous in several
sections of Virginia, the Lynchburgh
papers send the following sad event. A
mother and several little children were
making their escape from narrow neck
of land, which lies between the river and
the canal, when they were amazed to
find that the bridge was already gone,
and that their only hope was to cling to
the abutment of the bridge until the an
cry waves should subside. But as they
stood there clinging to the abutment, the
waters continued to rise higher and
higher, while in the deep darkness they
could hear the crashing of trees amid
the thunders of bridge timbers that were
wildly dashing around them. They had
been in this desperate condition for some
time, when the little girl felt that her
strength was gone, and with a wild
shrek of terror she exclaimed "kiss me-
mother, for l can't hold any longer q
And with the warm pressures of the
mothers lips upon her cheeks, she was
swept away and was seen no more

There once was Count SO I've heard it said
Who felt that his end drew near;
And he called his sons before his bed
To part them his goods and gear.
He called for his plough, he called for his sword,
That gallant, good and brave;
They brought him both at their fathers word,
And thus he his blessings gave:
my frstborn son, my pride and might
Do thou my sword retain;
My castle on the lordly height,
And all my broad domain. l
ION thee, my well-loved younger boy,
My plough here bestow,
A peaceful life shalt though enjoy,
In the quiet vale below"
Contented sank the sire to rest
Now all was given away;
The sons held true his last behest,
Fen on their dying day.
'.Now tell us what came Of the steel Of flame,
OF the castle and the knight
And tell us what came OF the vale so tame,
And the humble peasant wight?"
O ask not me what the end may be!
Ask Of the country round!
The castle is dust, the sword is rust,
The height is but desert ground.
But the vale spreads wide in the golden pride
Of the autumn sunlight now;
1t teens and it ripens far and wide,
And the honor abides with The plough.

THE DEVON AS A DAIRY COW.

Inc DeVOn may De called mouIum III
the quantity Of milk she yields, and in
its quality, superior. The older, or un-
improved race. were somewhat noted for
the quantities of milk they produced, as
we'll as its good quality. A gallon of
Devon milk yielded more butter than
that of almost any other breed, as it does
now, except the Alderney. But the i'm
provers, in the attainment of finer
form, and heavier substance in their an
imals, perhaps sacrificed somewhat of
the quantity of milk for the more liber-
al development Of flesh, we'll knowing
that both flesh and milk could not thrive
equally together in the same animal;
although, when the milk ceased. the flesh
came on with due rapidity, under gener-
Gus feed. Yet with an eye to breeding
her solely for milk, she is we'll fitted for
dairy cow. Docile in temper, easy to
keep, placable in disposition, she is read
lily managed. Her udder is soft, tidy in
shape, with thin, silky hair upon it,
clean taper teats, easily drawn, and
every way satisfactory to her keeper.
We have kept thoroughbred Dovons thir-
ty-four years-sometimes as high as
twenty five or thirty (not all mich cows
in number. Many of them have been
excellent mixers, and some of them ex-
traordinary for their size. We once had
two three years old heifers, with their
first calves, which gave for some three
months after calving. on pasture only,
with steady milking, an average of eight
cen quarts per day; and from cows which
have at different times been sold to 60
to other states, the accounts of their milk
has been equally good. 1t is but fair to
say, however, that after we commenced
crossing our COWS with bulls of later I'M
portation, some fifteen years after the
commencement of the herd, the large
mixers were not so numerous, although
the cattle from these crosses were some
what finer. The bulls we used were ap.
parently bred from stocks highly i'm
proved, with an effort more to develop
their feeding properties, than for thu
dairy. After all, our Devons yielded
on an average, quite as much as an,
common COWS we ever kept, with mucl
less consumption of forage.

ANEcDoTE OF ROWLAND HILL.-Row-
land Hill was once driven by a storm of
rain into village inn, and compelled to
spend the night. When it grew late,
the landlord sent a request by the waiter
that the guest would 60 to bed. Mr..
Hill replied, Il have been waiting a long
time expecting to be called to family
prayer Family prayer don't
know what you mean, sir: we don't have
such things here" Indeed then tell
your master cannot 60 to bed until we
have had family prayer" The waiter
informed his master, who in great con-
sternation bounced into the room occu-
pied by the faithful minister, and said,
"Sir, [ wish you would 60 to bed, can
not 60 until I have seen all the lights
out; | am so afraid of fire. $50 am
l." was the reply. "but | have been ex-
pecting to be summoned to family pray
er." "All very good, sir. but it cannot
be done at an inn" Indeed then
pray get me my horse. l cannot sleep
in house where there is no family pray
er. The host preferred to dismiss his
prejudice rather than his guest, and said {:
II have no objection to have prayer, but
[ don't know how" .sWell, then sum-
mon your people and let us see what can
be done" The landlord obeyed, and
directly the astonished domestics were
upon their knees, and the landlord cal
led upon to pray. "Sir,, | never prayed
in my life don't know how "Ask
God to teach YOU" was the reply. The
landlord said, folding his hands, 'God
teach us how to pray "That is pray

ego on" Il am sure 1 don't know what
to say now, SIR Eyes you do; God has
taught you how to pray; now thank Hin
for it. Thank you, God Almighty

himself. Two years afterwards, Mr.
Hill found in that village chapel anc
