Feeding too much Corn.

A correspondent of an eastern paper,
referring to the fact that pork is some
times found of yellow color, says it re-
suits from too free use of corn for food.
He says that about the time hogs are fin
ished off, farmers often make a mistake
in feeding too much unmixed grain. The
result is, bad digestion and yellow fat.
Mixed feed should be given to the last
roots, pumpkins, apples with corn. As a
rule, you can get them to eat more grain
and take on more flesh than by a diet of
rich food only.

The entire cost of the New York Herald,
for example, is said to average $4,000

There is no question in the world but
that a large portion of the Democracy of
the South entertain the view that South
ern shareholders ought to be remunerated
by the general government for the loss of
their slaves, though such loss was di-
rect result of the rebellion. There is
equally no question but that there are
many Democrats in the North who also
think such remuneration should be made
THERE'S wonderful sympathy foI the
late rebels permeating the Democracy of
the North.

Men have a duty to perform in
this matter. Under the present laws
the administration and enforcement
of the criminal code devolves upon
them, and they have no right to per-
NIT the laws to be violated with i'm
punity, relying upon those charged
with no duty il the matter to sup
ply their omissions, and by personal
self-sacrilce to protect the commu-
nifty from those who set the laws at
defiance with impunity.
1t is perhaps fitting that this
movement should originate as it has,
with those who are free from all i'm
putations Of political considerations
In the matter, but men have also n
duty to perform, and unless they are
ready and willing to perform it zeal
ously their zeal should be excited by
the personal appeals Of those who
are exerting their influence so sue
cessfully upon the violators Of the
law themselves.
In several instances the law break
ers have, themselves, appealed to the
law for protection in their unlawful
business, and, strange to say, judges
are found ready TO aid them in its
prosecution Without imputing any
improper motive or breach of duty
to the judges who have interfered, it
is certainly marvellous that men en-
gagged in open violation of law can
be thus protected against those who
are trying to induce them to obey
the laws. But the fact that it is so
demonstrates clearly the necessity
of invoking the law to punish them,
and thus vindicate itself. This duty
necessarily deyolves upon men.
They owe it to the women engaged
in the struggle, to themselves as
oonservators of law, to the laws
themselves as guardians of public
morality, to see that every one who
violates the law above recited is
vigorously prosecuted. r.

cription to distinguish one ticket

appearance, except the words at the
head of the ticket; and whenever
any ballot, with a certain designated
heading, shall contain printed there
on in place of another, any name
found on the regular ballot having
such heading, such name so found
shall be regarded by the Judges of

for the purpose of fraud, and said
ballot shall not count for the name
so found and it shall be unlawful
for any person to print for distribu-
ton at the polls, or distribute to any
elector, or knowingly to vote any
ballot printed or written, contrary to

Farmers and Hardware Merchants
Headquarters.

HCdu4udi ICIBs
In the present age of unprecedented COM
petition, it has become matter of no ordina-
ry Importance for intending purchasers to
familiarize themselves with names, reputa-
ton and peculiar features of leading firms
wholesale, as well as retail Hence, as public
journalists, we frequently deem it desirable to
give our personal attention to the discovery
and inspection OF such firms best calculated to
afford universal satisfaction in their dealings.
In this respect we feel no hesitation in calling
particular attention, this week, to the extern
sive and excellent firm of Arbuckle 8 Ryan,
wholesale dealers in farm implements and
hardware, 70 and 81 Monroe street, Toledo
Both members Of the firm are thoroughly
Yersed in the business and evidence a degree
of candor, aptitude and honest geniality in
their dealings well calculated to gain the con-
fidence Of customers, which is repaid amply
in the genuineness and perfective merchan-
disc they offer for disposal. Among their well
selected stock, we find them exclusive agents
for the Massillon Thresher, great favorite
with farmers, and the Russell Reaper and
Mower, combined-a splendid economiser of
Iabor-not cumbersome, intricate or expensive,
but does its work like charm. They keep
the noted Buckeye Rake, Furst & Bradley's
Sulky Rake, Portable Steam Engines, the
Champion Feed Cutters, and Garden City
and Buckeye Riding and Walking Cultiva-
tors. A splendid assortment OF cast and steel
plows, by best makers, rights or lsfts, also
appears a speciality with them-in fact, in
this article they claim not to be beaten by
any firm. Hay presses, corn planters, wood
saving machines, corn sheilsrs, grain drills,
farm wagons, and other farm implements too
numerous to particularize claim prominence
alike in their stock. Their connections in
the surrounding counties are extensive
wholesale and retail-hence their purchases
are heavy and consequently admit of their
giving favorable discount to the trade or
largo buyers. Indeed no farmer in want of
anything in their line should fail to inspect
their stock and prices if they have any regard
whatever for quality and economy. Again,
they have full line of the latest and most
approved garden tools, with choice assort-
ment of farm, vegetable and flower seeds
all the product of selected varieties of high
reputation warranted true to growth and
name. Professional or amateur gardeners
may here trade to great advantage.
Passing on to their stock Of hardware, the
immense variety battles description, but it
will be found replste to the minutest details.
In this department they particularly hold

The wandering Refugee Heard From,

The Sandusky Register of the 2lst
says Sloane's late housekeeper re-
ceived letter yesterday from the
Child of Nature, post marked Liver
pool. 1t was written on the 9th of
March, or so dated. Sloane states
that he was on his way TO Antwerp,
where he could be addressed. He
desired her TO discharge a portion OF
his household servants, turn the
horses ont to grass, and take good
care of the family mansion. Sloane
left this city the 18th of February,
which would give him twenty days
between his departure from this
city and arrival in Liverpool. He
was known to be at Windsor, Cana
da, on the 18th of February, and
must have left the United States
about that date. He will feel safe
when he reaches Belgium, that hap
py resort of American criminals. At
Antwerp he will find congenial soci-
ETY., and will be able to spend his
money and make splurge generally.
