The Credit Mobilier investtg ttion has taken
on new III use. O4kes Ames has recover
ed, to some extent, his memory. He has
testified in detail as to his transactions with
CJliax, Patterson, Kelley. Garfield, Schofeld
and others. lie says he paid them dividends
90 Credit Moblier stock. He paid Coltax
$1,000, and the others between three hue
ired and four hundred dollars each lie
also says he held the stock and other dlyi-
dends subject to their order. As corrob)ratlye
of his statements, he shows by the ser
geant alarms book that checks, correspond
ing in amount with the sums he says he
paid them, were charged to him. TIE per-
sons thus implicated deny, with more or
less particularly, Ames's story. Col.ax
denie, receiving the 5000, but brings no
corroboratiye evidence.
Somebody has committed perjury, and it
is, perhaps, too soon to determine where
the lying Is. From Washington dispatches,
however, it is evident that Ames's story is
looked upon as containing part of the truth,
and possibly not the worst part of it.

Loss OF TIE NoRTHFLEET-A terrible
marine disaster occurred Wednesday night
IN the English Channel. The emlsrant ship
Northfeet. which sailed from LlndJn several
days ago for Australia, with Az passengers,
exclusive of her crew, was IN collision al
midnight, two miles off Dungeness, with an
unknown foreign steamship, and was cut tc
the waters edge. Only 81 persons are
known to have been saved, aud 1t is believed
every other person who was on board has
found a watery grave.
When the COLLISION happened panic oc-

KEEPING OLD SHEEP

About one-half of the farmers who
keep sheep manage to have Let of old
run down ewes every Fall, which eth r
sell ut trifie for PETERS, or die during
the winter.
This is bad economy, to say the least,
aud should not DO tolerated and by a
little timely forethought might be greatly
remedied or entirely avoided.
Sheep should never be kept until they
lose their teeth. A very little observa-
ton and practice will enable any person
to tell their age by the front teeth; and
for the benefit of those not posted in this
art, we will give description Of the
teeth at the different stages of their
growth and decline, so that all may learn
We once heard Of man who went to hnv
a flock of sheep, and pronounced them
all too old from the fact of hav1no M

A SCRAP BOOK.

Every farmer should keep a book in
which to paste agricultural scraps. Ev
cry one, in reading paper, will see
number of things, which he will wish t,
remember. He will perhaps see sugges-
tions, the value of which he will desire to
test or hints which he will want to be
governed by in future operations. And
yet after reading the paper he will throw
1t down and will probably never see it
again. In such case all the valuable
articles will be lost. To prevent sach
loss' every reader should clip from the
papers such articles as he desires TO pre-
serve and remember, and paste them in q
scrap book. Sucn book, at the end of a
year or two,will be very interesting and

COP! what arc we coming to? l had

by MI good private citizons AS
thought, that Louisiana would throw
Off her sInckIcs and once more stand

with such evidences before us, it is

THE FEVER IN SHREVEPORT,

From what We learn there is no
doubt but the reports Of tho prevailing
sickness in this city are greatly cxaggcr-
atcd abroad. That there is Il consider
bic amount OF fever here and some
few eases of yellow fever, and that there
have been number of deaths, is true,
but there is no epidemic, and many of
the deaths resulted from chronic dis
eases. THERE'S, from what VIC can learn,
proportion tothickncss of population,
as much fatal sickness, through tho coun-
try, far and near, as there is in Srcvc-
port, and While we would not venture
in II matter in which persons believe
thcirc lives arc impcrilcd, to advise any
one, yet wo arc free to express the opin-
ion, that considering the prevalence of
severe fcvcrs in the country us we'll as
in town, our townspcoplc arc Safer here
where their family physicians arc ut
hand, and where ice, medicines, ETC.,
can promptly be had than ut distance
in the country. There is no epidemic
here ut present; when one prevails we
shall promptly say so.-DriI.y Times ,3,d.

THE PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY,

The Pennsylvania Democratic con-
vcntion has, in one instance, placed
itself favorably on the record. Two of
their representatives, Sam1 J. Randall
and II. Milton Spccr, were most unccr-
enormously shclvctl. The salary grab
was the cause. Mr.. Randall submitted
very Quietly, but Specr and his friends
kicked vigorously. When Specr was
nominated for permanent chairman, n
certain Mr.. Glatz, who must have felt
the temper of the convention, raised
the back pay question. This settled
Mr.. Specr, ind the delegates were so
earnest about it that they even Kissed
tho generous defenders of the virtuous
grabbcr. If tho whole Democratic party
were as virtuous in fact as this convcn-
ton was in appearance, the country
would hesitate less to trust them with
powcr.-N o. zse2asthlictue.
If the country hcsitatcs to trust Il
party that fatty refuses to be led by
salary grabbcrs, why should it trust the
party that protects them?

FRAUDULENTLY PACKED COTTON.

Tho New Orleans Cotton Exchange
has issued the following circular, dated
August 30, 1878:
AT the close of the season, we deem II
appropriate to call the attention of tho
trade, and all others Interested in the
culture and marketing of our great
staple, to the evils which this, moro
than any other year, have made such
great advance.
The quantity of false and fraudulcntly
packed cotton, shipped to this, and, VIC
believe, to nearly every other market
III the United States, since tho war,
caused the adoption of various devices
for tho thorough examination of every
bale, and the detection of fraud has con-
been reduced to almost ccr-
tainty. These examinations, by means
of boring, etc., arc made through the
buyer, attcr'purchase, and entail much
loss in weight, besides the expense nee
essary to tho employment of compc-
