CHARCOAL FOR PoULTRY.-The benefit
which fowls derive from eating charcoal
is, / believe, acknowledged. The method
of putting it before them is, however,
not well Understood. Pounded charcoal
is not in the shape in which fowls usually
find their food, and consequently is not
very enticing to them.
have found that corn burnt on the
cob, and the refuse-which consists al
most entirely of the grains reduced to
charcoal, and still retaining their perfect
shape placed before them, is greedny
eaten by them, with marked improve
ment in their health, as is shown by the
brighter color of their combs, and their
sooner producing greater average OF
eggs to the flock than before IS. Rof"S

IN which the deficiency in his accounts
occurred. 1t is also due to the deputy
implicated by his statement, to say that
he has friends in this community who
refuse to believe him dishonest, and are
confident that he viii be able squarely
and successfully to meet the charges
brought against him. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to add that we gave publicity to
his connection with the case without
malice towards him, or any man. And
if he or his friends can make it plain
that he has been maligned, we shall

a uonnr man from Mineville. IN.

A young man from Mineville, N. Y,
came to town yesterday, to have his
skull patched up and otherwise repaired.
It appears that one dark night, three of
his friends had playfully inserted under
his scalp crowbar orshillelah, orsome-
thing of that sort. He was slightly an
gered that they should presume so much
on friendship as to break his skull, but
appeared to take the matter very calmly
compared with his friend, who occasion
ally allowed his s'feelinks'' to get the
better of him, when he would soothe
himself by vigorous use of such Ian
guage as would not look well in print,
but which meant the same as wishing
the afriends in perdition. His-the man
with the cracked skull-intense hatred
of having his name son the papers" pre-
vents us from giving our readers q

The Ring Forgers Sentenced.

NEW Il Okhs ANbNs 80
This morning Jas. Ingersoll and John
d. Harrington, Jr., convicted of forge
nv and altering warrant for a fictitious
claim on the county for $15, 738. 40, were
brought up for sentence before Judge
Davis. Ingersoll was sentenced TO five
years with hard labor in Sing Sing, and
his tool in the transaction, Harrington,
to eighteen months. In sentencing the
prisoners, the judge said mitigating cir
cumstances might be found in Earring
tons case, but in sentencing Ingcrsoll he
said
Ingersoll, it often devolyes on me TO
sentence criminals who under sudden
passion, expressed by poverty or want,
committed crime, and / always felt that
the Judge was at liberty, on account Of
the weakness of human nature, to be as
lenient as Justice would allow but yonr
crime was different. You took solemn
! oath to protect and defend the constitu-
ton. 4 violation of that oath is perjury.
| You became plunderer, the greatest,
| perhaps. ever known in any country.
| You appear on the Tweed trial to be the
recipient of claims for over three mil
! lions, of which you kept one million,
seven hundred and thirty dollars, and
turned the rest over TO Woodward. The
court must take cognizance of this. In
stead of performing your duty, you de
liberately caused to be prepared claim
! against the county having little or nc
| foundation, and endorsed the warrant il
the name of an extinct firm, violating
your oath and committing forgery. We
are unfortunate in not having laws ade
uuate to that class of crimes involving
moral perjury. trust another legisla
ture will amend this. All the court car
do is to make an example of you as fal
as the statute permits. You occupied {
respectable position, your friends are re
spectacle and estimable, you have a wifi
whom the court pities, but even theJ
must admit the business of your sentence
which | am about to pronounce. Th
sentence of the court is that you be i'm
prisoned in States prison at Sing Sing
for the term of five years, the utmos
penalty the statute permits the court t
give.
SENTENCE OF HARRINGTON,
In sentencing Harrington, Judge Da
Wis said
am glad the person just convicte
had the manhood to admit what it SCENE
to me he ought to have admitted in tn
progress of the trial, and which perhap
might have saved you from conviction
because your connection with this cas-
was different from his. Your conneC
ton with the case was in making out az
counts which you knew to be false, t
one adding fifty per cent. You were
, participant in the crime, and the Jur
! were justified in their verdict. | mus
make a distinction, as / intend to,
your case. You do not appear TO hav
participated in the proceeds of the crime
; though by your own statement you pa
ticipated in the crime. You will have a
, opportunity after short term OF SCI
tence to return to society, and by an hol
est career make atonement for the pa
and recover the good name you hay
D lost. You are sentenced to one year an
six months in the penitentiary.

AN ATTEMPTED SwINDIE IL PAwLET.
This community was alarmed some
two weeks since by the report that two
peddler's carts, belonging to the broth
ers Siegal, were broken open and their
contents stolen at the house of George
Douglas. The loss was stated at six
thousand dollars. The alleged losers
were not much disturbed, but directly
sold one horse and cart and
drove off with the other. 1t is now re-
ported, that the New York creditors OF
the peddlers hearing of the affair through
the press or otherwise, followed the trail
of the peddlers back two or three days
journey where the goods were found all
safe The report is that the peddlers
were arrested and held to bail in the
sum of four thousand dollars.
If an actual burglary or robbery, il
these trickish times, is deserving of con
dign punishment, what ought to be done
with those who pretend to be robbed
when they are not?
