In the Stokes case the general
expectation has been disappointed,
the jury having brought in . YER
dict on the 4tll lust. Of murder in
the first degree. It was supposed
that his case would terminate like
most trials Of prominent mnnierers
do nowadays, in acquital. The
counsel Of Stokes were very much
surprised at the verdict, and ex-
pressed their purpose Of applying at
once for a stay Of proceeding, and
ultimately, # possible, secure q new
trial. The Judge deferred passing
sentence until the 9Th. Then, afer
Termaine, the counsel Of Stokes,
had made an address in relation to
a bill Of exceptions to the Judges
rulings, which he proposed to offer,
and Stokes had made a response to
the question from the Judge, why
sentence Of death should not be
passed, in which he said that he had
not violated any law Intentionally,
and that the testimony against him
had been manufactured, Judge
Boardman, after a feeling address
to the prisoner, sentenced him to be
hanged on the 2Sth Of February
next. Stokes was then taken to
the Toombs and assigned to the
murderer's cell, Here he declared
he was the victim ofan excited public
sentiment, but felt confident his
counsel would ultimately secure him
a new trial. It is to be hoped the
majesty and justice ofthe law will
be vindicated in his case. He is a
murderer and deserves a murderer's
doom.

A Tennessee paper has a subscri-
Der who has paid up his subscrip-
ton regularly for forty-iive years.
Such exemplary conduct as that
cannot be commended too highly.
Some men subscribe for their county
paper, but scarcely ever pay; but
Others, lots Of them, do mot even
subscribe. Some Of the last kind
are aspiring politicians, too, come
out for Office, and expect the paper
to publish their names and CLAIMS
free gratis for nothing. But this
Tennessee gentleman was more SEN
sible and just t-more manly. He
not only took his county paper and
paid for it regularly, but he did 80
for tortyJfve gears. Such 9 man
as that is well deserving Of sanity
honors among newspaper subscri-
bers.

Ed. REGISTER Although . lit

has certainly beena "Happy New
Year" to the farmer, as almost sim.

advanced from 65 TO rs ctnts per
bushel. The change was too great
and sudden, though, tor many Of

those who had "waited for sia
bits," say they believe II will soon
60 to one doiltw, 50 they will wait
awhile longer. What the future
may bring Of course we cannot tell,
but any one who will take pains to
figure, can readily see that onr
grain dealers are paying all the
market will warrant--and Id facta
little more. Quite an amount, how
ever, has already changed hands
and we hope the tinancialcrisis will
soon have passed. AS but little Of
the crop had been sold at the low
prices say less than one-third the
farmers Of this section will be more
benefited by the raise, than prob
ably those of any other section in

The English Government is rep
resented as getting troubled ovel
the rumor that the United States
intends to take advantage Of affairs
in the Sandwich Islands aud seize
and annex them. From what source
she obtained this rumor is not given,
but tits believed to have come from
this country. That country has
lately sent a couple Of British war
vessels to Honolulu, it is supposed
in consequence Of this runor. II
the Hawaiians desire to be annexed
to this country, Great Britain has
no objections !; but if called upon
she will protect them against any
filibustering attempt to seize them.
1t is stated that tlic Administration
has no knowledge Of anything that
would justify the opinion which pre-
walls in Great Britain. Be this as
-
it may, while tilibustering exPedi-
tions should be dlscouutenanced,
both by administrations and peo-
pie, still the game Of "bluff" from
John Bull will not set very well on
Uncle Sans stomach. The British
Government is jumping at conclu-
sions a little too soon in this mat
ter.

Growing Clover too Coarse.

IT Is sometimes objected to the clover
that II il too coarse as feed-this being
the case where it is grown on strong
ground, making large stalk. This can
be remedied by sowing thick, and thus
getting fine-stemmed crop, also shorter
In length, the stalks varying from fifteen
to twenty-five inches, according to the
quality of the land, the season, and
whether plaster has been used, but the
point is to SOW thick-from ten TO twelve
quarts per acre, evenly scattered on mel
low soil and brushed in If sown with
spring grain. This forms close growth,
and must be cut before it lodges much,
and this is generally about the time OF
Towering. Else if lodged badly, and
permitted to remain for some time, 1t will
partially rot and lose some of its quality
as a feed. But harvested in time and
well cured, there will be no deterioration
of the high value which this plant has
obtained among our best dairymen.
Three tons per acre may be thus realized ;
and if the season is a good one, the
amount may be doubled by two cuttings;
and clover should always be cut twice,
each time at the poisoning period. The
medium clover is earlier and finer stem
med than the large kind, and less apt to
lodge, and always permits of two cut
tinss. On poor land, clover may be
grown successfully, improving the land.
But it may be raised on the richest OF
land with the most gratifying results
only get it close so as to have 1t fine
stemmed, and cut in time.-Ohto Farmer
