MY farmer neighbors look ut my colts

at all. They not only have warm, clean

may be objected that the farmer cannot
afford to feed so highly. 1 reply that he
cannot afford TO do otherwise. He does
not keep his growing boy upon n short
allowance, but, on the contrary, is in n
state of chronic astonishment to see the
quantity of provender the urchin can
stow away under his jacket We all
know that children eat more than

same truth hold good with other animals?
L have not attempted to give any
physiological reasons for this system,
although they are many. A common
belief obtains that colts are often spoilt
by granting too much. Indeed L have
been advised by well-meaning friends to
that effect. l would rather have my own
experience, however, than anybody's adj
vice. That experience tells me that
extra colts may be raised with extra
care. If fastened a yearlingin box or
a stall, and kept him without exercise all
winter, | should expect his legs to fill
and stock :" but | should attribute the
disease to its proper cause, and not to
the oats. In conclusion | would say,
that at intervals we give sheaf oats in
lieu of hay; and during very cold weather
an occasional feed of corn meal.

WHERE Is ESSEX,

Tho Unnatural Wretch Net Heard OF
Since His Retirement to Ttverton
swamps-His Family Compelled to
Leave Newport 60 Avoid tho Violence
OF the Citizens.
NEWPORT, r. l., Feb 90 1878.
The excitement over the alleged crimes OF Essex
has finally eliminated in the whole family being
driven out OF the city. The mother and two eldest
daughters left by private conveyance before day
light this morning. and the son and the Juvenile
daughters followed by train this afternoon. They
have gone to New Bedford. where Mrs. Essex has a
brother and other relatives residing. The police
were obliged to guard their house all last night to
prevent the carrying out OF threat by the mob to
burn it over their heads. Nothing has been heard
OF the monster" Essex himself since he took to
the Tverton swamps yesterday afternoon.
Last night and to-day have been bitterly cold,
ana unless he sought shelter in some barn or out
house he has probably frozen to death. Inasmuch
as nothing has been heard of him up TO this time it
is generally believed that he has persisted. His
wife, when she left this morning, was very anxious
about his fate, and requested her friends to tee-
graph her at once If anything was heard from him.
The Indignation OF the people at the manner IN
which the case was handled by the authorities IS
very great and the sincerity OF their efforts to pro-
cure conviction Is openly questioned in some
quarters. 1t is certain that they had done their
best the wretch might have been brought to pun
ishment. They at least liable to charges OF In
efficiency. II they had been retained to defend
and protect the accused they could not have done
more IN his behalf than they have done.
The City Marshal IL 10 said, will be called upon to
explain to the citizens the and reason OF his
action IN the matter. There was to have been q
public meeting this evening, at which resolution
meeting was abandoned on account or the depart
ure OF the Essex family from the city.

THE PANAMA RAILROAD COEI-
PAIsY IN COURT.

Stocks as Observation-Disclosures OF a Nice
Point as to tho Obligations or Security
Holders. 81,
In February, 1869, william Cothral obtained
loan Of $1,000 from the Panama Railroad Com
pany, and as collateral security deposited with the
company seventy shares Of Its own stock. Upon
this loan he paid at various times different sums,
amounting altogether to $685. and shortly after
the last payment died. In August, 1870, the COM
pany demanded Of the executors OF Mr.. Cothral
payment Of the remainder OF the Indebtedness.
The latter claim that upon this demand they
directed the company to sell out the stock, then
worth some $3.50 . share, but since then having
depceciated about two hundred per cent. but that
the company did not comply with their instruc-
tons. The result was that they would not pay.
and the company brought suit to compel payment.
The case was tried yesterday before Judge LOew,
holding Part Of the Court of Common Pleas. The
defence sought to prove the fact regarding their
instructions to the company to sell out the stock.
This testimony was excluded by Judge LOew, on
the ground that the company were simply PLEDGES
as regarded the stock and under no obligation to
sell 1t. In other words, his decision was that the
company was in no respect brokers for the defend
ants, and that as regarded the stocks the latter II
they wished to obtain control OF them, should have
paid the money advanced upon them as security.
Taking this view OF the case-and the point has
never been decided before-Ju6ge Loew ordered
verdict to the plaintiffs for $16639 Al, being the
whole amount claimed with interest,"

THE MYSTERIOUS INDICTMENTS.

The Sheriff Believes that the Bench
Warrants Have Been Placed in the
Hands of the Police to Execute.
Late last evening reporter OF the HERALD
called upon the Sherfr's order OF arrest clerk, Mr..
Judson Jarvis, to inquire to the new indictments
said to be pending against Messrs. Tweed, Con.
molly and Ingersoll. MIR. Jarvis said that he had
not received as yet any bench warrants upon
which to make any arrest He sad however,
that he was certain that new indictments were in
existence against some Of the members of the
old Tammany Ring, but he would not hazard say
ing who, ana that he had reason to believe the
bench warrants would not be placed in the hands
OF the Sheriff, but that he had good reason to say
they had already been placed In the hands OF the
police, who had equal power under the law with
the Sheriff to make arrests OF this kind. The rea-
son Of altering the usual OF things by giving
these bench warrants to the superintendent of PO-
lice, instead OF to the Sheriff, usual, he did not
know, but he did positively know that these new
indictments were already In existence several
days ago. The Sheriff in future would take no
notice OF bench warrants which arrived at his
ONCE after four O'Clock In the afternoon, as IL had
been the habit OF doing previously. Mr.. Jarvis
seemed to intimate by the manner in which he
spoke Of this that bench warrants had been sent
TO the Sheriff after Office hours yesterday and that
he having refused to take any cognZance OF them
they had been handed to the police. ON the as.
surance that nothing would be done by Mr.. Judson

The italian Wife Butcher Convicted Of
Murder In the First Dcgree-The Sem
tencc Deferred.
MoRRIsTowN, N, j. Feb. 20, 1879
The trial OF Luigi Lusignani for the murder Of his
wife was resumed this morning before Judge
Darymple. The whole of the morning was spent by
counsel in summing up, after which the Judge
charged and the case was given to the jury.
Mr. Chids ut the opening OF the Court continued
his speech In defence OF the prisoner Lusignani.
The speech was an extremely able one, and the
utter unreliabiity and bad character OF the prin-
clpal witness for the prosecution were pointed out
In very telling manner. Counsel showed that
according to the evidence in the case they were
bound to acquit, as no case had been made out
against the prisoner. The speech occupied two
hours, and was closed with an eloquent and effective
appeal to the jury.
The Attorney General then made the concluding
address for the State. He paid high compliment
In opening to the ability displayed by the defence
but he thought That counsel for the prisoner when
they considered the evidence, could not but come
to the conclusion that their case was very bad
one. The testimony was then very fully COM
mented upon, and the improbabillties in the favor
of the prisoner which had been advanced were
pointed out. The speech occupied one hour.
CHARGING THE JURY.
The Judge charged the jury in very clear and
in relation to the duty they had to perform, and
while they were admonished to guard the interests
OF the State, If there were any doubts In favor Of
the prisoner he was 10 have the benefit OF those
doubts.
The Judges charge occupied about half an hour.
after which the Jury retired to consider their
dict. Tney remained out about three hours and q
half, when they returned with the verdict Of
guilty OF
MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.
deep silence pervaded the Court at this an
nouncenent, and every eye was directed toward
the prisoner. He did not seem to realize his posi-
ton much, and manifested little or no emotion at
the terrible position In which he was placed by the
verdict His face grew little paer but he made
no motion. A different verdict was expected, and
the one rendered caused considerable comm emit.
Sentence is reserved.

ground set forth in the complaint was that the
