DEARTH OF AGRICULTURAL REPORTs.-
The report of the Department of Agriculture
for 1872 is a particularly interesting document,
containing, among other matter, elaborate pa
pers on Fish Culture, Forest Culture, Silk Gull
ture, Diseases of Horses, etc. The Depart
ment is at present in receipt of from two to
three hundred letters daily, containing appli-
cations for copies of this report To save the
public trouble and Misrepresentation, the WASH
ington Chronicle draws attention to the fact
that Congress adjourned without making any
provision for printing this report or distributing
it among the people Shortly before adjourn
ment the House passed resolution authorizing
two hundred and fifty-ive thousand copies to
De printed for distribution. The Senate amend
ed 1T by reducing the number to $4,000 and
providing that they should be sold at the rate
OF hfty cents copy. In this form the resolu-
ton came back to the House the last day of the
session, was not taken up again, and was there
tore lost. The Senate, in executive session
ordered 1900 copies printed for its own use: and
the head of the department is entitled to $500
copies, which will be needed for the DEPART
ments agents. There are, therefore, no copies
Oh the report to be had, and no provision what
ever Tor their printing and distribution. The
valuable information which it contains and

HE Supreme Court of Illinois has recent
~ given most important decision affecting
the responsibility of a husband for the acts of
his wife. a woman who had been slandered
by married woman, sued the husband of
the offender for damages. 1t was declared nv
the Judge who announced the decision of the
court, that modern legislation had almost
obliter,ted the common law, so far as the
marital relations were concerned. The wife
having been emancipated by legislation, the
husband must not be left in slavery; he has
no longer claim upon her property, person
or time, and this relieves him of responsible
ties heretofore existing. In consonance with
this pfincipleit was decided that the husband
was not responsible for utterance of SANDER
by the wife. The justice of this decision few
WIN doubt; the principles of law under which
nuaoanos were liable for damages in case, of
'.''' character, came down from :, time when
there was really an urgent necessity for
crusade to secure recognition Of the r;n,,s

tears in their eyes told a piteous tale, saying
they had been burned out in Aroostook, Me-,
losing 500 in money and two children. The
proprietor sympathies were aroused and he
not only gave them good breakfast but raised
them small sum of money, and gave them a
note to Conductor Barhydt of the Central Rail-
road, and also one to Mr.. Brownell, clerk of the
Superintendent of the county poor, who, after
gu 'stioning them closely, drew up an affidavit
Of the facts, which the man subscribed as John
P. Kimball. Mr.. B. told the family to meet
him at the depot in the afternoon and he would
see they were forwarded to Syracuse In the
afternoon Mr.. B. met the family at the depot
and procured tickets for them to Syracuse. Mr..
Brownell then spoke to Conductor Barhydt
about the family, when he (Barhydt) said,
that's the family brought from Schenectady
yesterday" Mr.. Brownell being satisfied they
were frauds took the tickets from them
