The :" Battle.FIagN Bill.

The Springfield Republican prints a letter from MT. Sumner to.a personal friend, dated March 20, 1873, in which, after alluding to his sickness, which he says "goes back in it's origin to injuries received seventeen years ago, he speaks as follows of his Battle-fag bill:
 1t seems to me unjust and hard to understand that my bill can be called hostile to the soldier or to the President, when it was introduced by me May 8, 1862; and then again Feb. 27, 1865, and when it has been commended by Gen. Scott, Gen. Robert Anderson, and Gen. Thomas, all good and true soldiers. If persons would only consider candidly my original convictions on this ques- tion, they would see how natural and inevitable has been my conduct. As if in such 8 matter could have "hos- tility or "spite to anybody. I am a public servant, and never was I moved by purer sense of duty than in this bill, all of which will be seen at last. Meanwhile men will founder in mis- conception and misrepresentation, to be regretted in the day of light. Sincerely yours, CHARLES SUMNER.

New Jersey Strawberries.

In an address at Trenton before the fruit growers of New Jersey, MT. Quinn gives the strawberry crop of that State at two millions of quarts, which, at fif-
 teen cents per quart. would be worth $3O0,0OO. Of blackberries, raspberries and grapes there are about as much more, and he estimates the cranberry crop, 125, ,00O bushels, to be worth about the same. Thus the cultivation of this delicious fruit, which has brought into use thousands of acres of otherwise un- employed swampy lands, gives New Jersey the credit of raising half the en- tire cranberry crop of the United

The Massacre ct Camp Grant.

A band of Apaches appeared at Smeardon & Romano's ranch buildings at old Camp Grant, Arizona, then occu- pied by Mrs. Machado and her two children and three other persons. Cap tain Pedro seemed to be leading the Apaches. He had frequently come there with pass on hunting excursions, and hence his presence excited nc alarm. He addressed the inmates in 8 friendly tone, saying he was friendly and from San Carlos with a pass. He asked where Ramon Ramano was and when he would be back, and immedi- ately after receiving the replies opened fire, and then all joined in the attack. It is not certain how many Apaches there were, but boy who escaped says the large corral was filled with them, and the empty cartridge shells which cover the ground, and all evidence, shows that there were fifty or more, and but few on horseback.
 Mrs. Machado was shot through the heart. Her little daughter, about five years old, was shot in the thigh, and the ball ranged down through the ankle and foot, was lanced in the right side, left hand was nearly cut off, her entrails were out, and all in all presented a sickening view. The baby, boy about nine months old, was shot through from side to side about the middle of the body, and the remains mutilated. The body of Mrs. Machado was dragged about fifteen feet by the hair, and the bodies of her children put upon it, and upon all a bar of iron and an OK yoke. The bodies were not stripped of their clothing. Jesus Vasquez, about eight cen years old, was killed by shots in the breast, hip, and left arm. A boy raised by Ramon Romano, aged about thirteen years, was burned to death. His body was too badly burned to be certain what inj juries he may have re- ceived before death. A gun was found by his side.
 One boy, about fifteen years old, es- capped badly burned and wounded in the wrist. He remained in the house until all others were killed. He shot all the loads from his pistol and threw it into the fire, then took a gun used by one of the others and darted out, and by chance escaped, and started for Tue son, and when about half way there was met by the troops and citizens going out, and was induced to return. A careful examipat of the battle ground confirmed the truth of the boys ac count of the dreadful affair. The boy who escaped is an Indian, but was cap tured from Cochise's band when very young and taken to Sonora, where he was raised by the Corellas family. He is now ia Tucson, under the medica, care of Dr. Handy. He is in much pain from his wounds and sickness in duced by exposure. The Doctor ex tracted piece of iron from his wris but no balls seem to have struck him One side is terribly burned, and his re coveryis doubtful. The boy recognized among the Apaches Captain Pedro anc his brother, brother-in-law of Eski minzin, known as Rawhide," and sev eral others who had frequently come there to hunt, having passed from Sar ! Carlos.

Schools.

At a recent meeting of the &c., cond Radical Club of Boston, a pro- fessional teacher read paper, which. among other things, contained the statement that Gin most of the schools half the individuality of the children was suppressed by false notions of or der, and as a general rule there was too much repression of enforced order. The child should be encouraged to give his opinions, and when he was wrong an effort should be made to convince him of the fact. It was 8 mistake to set up pattern for them to follow, as it steals away their individuality.

A Lady Murdered by Her Lover.

W. T. Underwood, of Cleveland, be- came enamored of Miss Anna Pr1dgeon, one of the most beautiful and accom- plished young ladies of Detroit, but she rejected his suit. At his request, she went to walk with him, and on their re- turn, while standing at the door of her home, he again offered himself, and she again refused, whereupon he instantly drew knife and stabbed her in the heart. He then rushed to the Police station and gave himself up. The wound was instantly fatal. Under woods wife had gained divorce from him, and had acquainted Miss Pridgeon with his character.

Shaking Down Crows.

A Delaware correspondent of the Baltimore American writes these queer stories about crows "A novel amuse- ment, which is at present indulged in to great extent in the upper part of this State, is crow shootings as sub- stitute for pigeon matches. The rules and customs are the same in either case. The substitute was made out of a sort of humanitarian notion among the peo- pie, as we'll as to pecuniarily benefit residents about Reedy Island, in the Delaware, from whence the crows are taken. have been told that this spot is the favorite roasting ground of these birds, and that towards nightfall they congregate there by thousands. When darkness overspreads the island, the catchers enter among the low trees with bags, and capture any desired number, simply plucking them from the limbs like so much fruit. The birds cannot fly in the darkness, and even if shaken from their roosts, they cling to the first object that comes within reach. It is said that a man standing beneath the tree from which the birds are shaken, with outstretched arms, will soon be covered with them.'

Earth's wounds and scars they seek to cover

ON sterile sands where scarce the rain-drop
They grow and blossom by the brlny shore.

We many a secret might info.ded find;
Each tiny plant fulflls its heaven-taught mis-
zion,
And bears the impress of Immortal Mind.
We call them weeds; the while their uses hid

Might work a nations veal, q nations woe,
Send through each wasted frame the balm Of

And cause the blood with youths quick pulse

Their slender threads bind firm the sandy

Navies may sink amid its wild connection
These humble toilers ne'er their work give

WHO MURDERED NATHAN?-A man who is
known to the keepers of the Illinois state prison,
at Joliet, as No. $50, aud to the world as VIM.
Forester, has written a long letter to the New
York press, declaring that he has been made q
shield to protect the parties guilty of the Ma
than murder. His is no new story, out Ii con-
tsiDs some fresh details, and is very earnestly
and strikingly told. He says that Superinten-
dent Jourdan knew the guilty party, and died
from anxiety caused by the weight OF his secret.
That the superintendent did not think Forces
ter the murderer is evidenced by the fact that
he offered a reward of only 80 500 for his sppre
hension out of fund of 800 900 that lad been
placed at his disposal. Who, then, committed
the murder? People may say that they are
weary of the subject, but If another hapless old
man we're murdered in his bed tonight they
would point again TO the Nathan murder, aud
inquire why the detectives were at fault, and
why they failed to follow up the Information
given and offered. Ii is true thai the Illinois
convict IL a thief, but he certainly tells some
truths and marshals his facts with ability. 1t
he could be made to reveal all that he knows
light might be thrown upon New Yarks darx-
est and most fearsome tragedy. 1t is not too
late to take up and follow the clews offered by
the convict. Every citizen would sleep easier
at night could the Nathan murder be avenged.
