ThrocLmerton,. Gho.t.

From the Louisville Ledger, March L.
All Of our readers are acquainted
with the story of man named ThrOck-
morton and ''his ghost" The story
is that It is alleged that abORt twenty
two wears ago Throckmorton seduced
a Young woman of this city under the
promise of marriage, and then aban-
doned her to the cold charity of the
world. and it is known since that time,
whenever the man is seen, that a wO-
man is not far distant; that she visits
the club-room of which he is mem-
Der, and waits at the door until he
appears on the street, and when he
leaves she follows close behind. As
was said by Mr.. Joseph this morning,
visited New York, at
the time he was there, and what was
his surprise to see the woman III the
same city. She follows him as a
follows his prey, and
whenever he has anything to do with
another woman she is sure to raise a
disturbances. She has been arrested
several times on the complaint of diff
ferent parties, but never by him, and
has always managed to get clear. She
was again arrested last evening by the
deputy marshall of the City Court,
William Musselmau, on a warrant
charging her with disOrderly conduct,
sworn out by a Mrs. Pendleton, who
lives in the upper portion of the city.
She was presented to the City Court
this morning, when she gava her name
as Mrs Ella Goodman, when Mrs.
and several others testified
against her. She refused to let Judge
Price try her case, and Charles Gill
was ele cted. Mrs. Pendleton said
that on last Wednesday morning she
visited her residence and stood in
front of the house during the whole
day, and until midnight. On Thurs
.lay she did the same, and on Thurs
Law night she came and rang the door
bell, and if her man was there, and
called Mrs. Pendleton the most vul-
gar names. Mrs. Pendleton asked her
f she was jealous, TO which she made
40 reply. On being told to leave the
house, she said that she intended 10
get away" with her. Mrs. p. fur
her stated that she has been there
very night and day until she was ar
-ested. She closed her statement by
lsking the court to protect her. Mr..
Gallagher and several other gentle
ncn were introduced, who testified
lbout her following this man Throck-
norton. Lieutenant Weatherford was
as to her good standing,
,tc. She was represented by Judge
Beard, William Beard and Selby Har-
ley, who spoke with great eloquence
n her behalf, advocating the theory
hat she was crazy about the man who
lad roble her of her honor. Sam
AtchinsoA and the prosecuting attor-
ley, Laf. Joseph, Esq, spoke at some
ength, and with great weight. After
learing the case Judge Gill fined Mrs.
Goodman 50, and put her under $500
,ond for one years good conduct, re-
using to take her own bond, and she
vas compelled to go to the Work
louse. This Will relieve Mr.. Throck-
norton and Mrs. Pendleton of the wo-
nan for one year at least.

Popular weather Signs.

Would it not serve a useful purpose
if some scientific meteorolOgist were
to gather into a mass the various
weather signs-weather valuable or
not-treasured by the farmers aad
other common-sense people of the
country, and then sift them, so that
those of real value may have their
proper influence, and those which are
merely fanciful may cease to mis-
| lead?
That there are weather signs IN
abundance, everybody knows. That
the greater part of these signs arc ut
terly valueless, every person OF lntelll-
gence can testify. ct that they do
practically influence the time and
mode of the planting of crops, and OF
their after culture, viii be aeknowl-
edged by many who would not be sus-
| pected of the folly, and who can give
no other reason for 1T than the force
of habit.
we are going to have a dry month,
said farmer the other day.
How do you knOw?' he was asked.
BY the Indians sign of the new
moon he replied. Its horns hung
so sloping that they could hold no
water
His companion laughed. why
that's my Iniin sign for a.wet moon.
The horns slope so that they let loose
all the warter.'
The sign in the one case was no
doubt prophetic as in the other.
Always plant your potatoes i'll the
dark of the moon, if you wish to have
a full CROP I heard my neighbor say.
But never kill your pork, nor boil
YOUR soap at such a time, unless you
are willing to have them shrink to
nothing
What is your authority for this?'
4 have always so heard, he answer
cd with some hesitation, and always
so practiced. Potatoes, you know,
being roots, naturally love darkness
And soap and bacon-I suppose they
take their cure from the state of the
moon. The fact is, only know that
this is the old time rule.
we are to have a frost on May
I9th,' said farmer to me on the 5tI
of April.
1 was shocked, for he looked wise
and lugubrious, and frost at thai
time in our latitude would have cost
millions of dollars. / asked; How dc
/, you knOw?'
Because we had a fog on the 19tl
of March.
He saw me smiling and added, =
have heard this rule ever since l wa:
? a boy; and it has never failed yet
The surest rule know for foretell
ing the weather throughout the year,
said a planter, possessed at least of ;
semicollegiate education, is to not,
the twelve DAYS between old Christ
mas and new Christmas (from Decem
Der 25 to January 6). The months o
the ensuing year are apt to be wet Of
dry, cool or warm, according to tn
days corresponding. lie serioUsl,

, pitched his crop and ordered hi

In clusters of purple, black and white;
Cameo girdles for exquisite shapes;
Diamond drops OF light;

In carved cases of tropical wood;

Tho latest snake story comes
from Connecticut. Some workmen
building a mill among the rocks on
Westfield river killed rattles make,
and afr scvering the head from the
trunk and cutting the rattlos off the
tail for a keepsake, kicked the head
away into the sand and threw the
trunk in the sun. A booted boy
came along and could not resist
the temptation to worry the dead
snake. He trod on its tail, aud
the hcadless trunk Of the reptile
turned and struck tho boot as if to
bite. The frightened youth soon
had an audience around him, and
the experiment of treading on the
snakes tail was repeatedly tried
with the same result. But another
startling thing was observed. As
often as the carcass coiled aud
struck the offending boot, so often,
and at the seli-samo instant the
grim rcpulsivc head lying discover
cd in tho dust, opened its jaws, the
dead faRgs protruding, and closed
them with q snap. There was no
scientist there to see, but these
simpe mill-builders want to know
the philosophy Of this sort Of post
norton snake-liic. The expert
ment may be tried until the snakes
run out.

FEEDING FowLs.-Where there is
a family, and consequent consump-
ton, there are many auxilliaries, such
as bread crumbs, groats that have
been used for Cruel, etc. But it
must be borne in mind that these are
in theplace of food, and not in addition
to it. When this can be had other
food should be diminished. am not
an advocate for cooked vegetables ex-
cept potatoes. Boiled cabbage is
worse than nothing. In fact, it must
be borne in mind that corn, either
whole or cracked, is the staple food,
and the others are helps. Do not
give foul meat, but always have the
bones thrown to them after dinner,
they enjoy picking them, and per-
form the operation perfectly. Do
not feed raw meat, it makes fowls
quarrelsOme, and gives them 4 pro-
pensity to pick each other-especially
in moulting time, if the accustomed
meat be withheld. Hundreds have
purchased birds, above all Cochin
Chinas, on account of their great
weight, which being the result OF
meat feeding, has proved real dis
ease, incapacitating them for breed
ing. Where proper food Is provided,
all IS not accomplished, 1t must be
properly given,
No plan IS so eXtravagant or so in
furious as 10 throw down heaps once
or twice 4 day. They should have it
scattered as far and wide as possible,
that they may be longer and healthi-
! er employed in finding it, and not
accomplish in a few minutes that
which should occupy them for hours.
For this reason every sort of feeder
or hopper is bad. II is the nature of
/ fowls to take a grain at q time, and to
pick grass and dirt with it, which as
sist digestion; but if, contrary to
this, they are enabled to eat corn by
mouthfuls, their crops are soon over
/ filed, and they seek relief in exces-
sive draughts of water. Nothing is
more injurious than this; and the IN
/ activity that attends the discomfort
/ caused by it, lays the foundation Of
/ many disorders. While speaking OF
4 food, it may be observed that when,
/ from travelling or other causes, a fowl
/ has tasted a long time-say thirty or
| forty hours-it should not be allowed
/ any hard food. For the first three
| hours 1t should have cnly a small por-
tion, say a teacupful Of sopped bread
/ very wet, so much as to serve for food
and drink. If the bird appears tC
suffers much from the journey, in
stead of bread and water give bread
and ale.-COr. Mich. Farmer.
