favor OF barn yard manure, next bone dust and
and lime; also, advocating thorough blowing

ciety expressed the opinion that stone lime was
better than shell lime for farm purposes.
Suggestions were made by different members
in favor of procuring limestone from up the
river ard bringing it to the neighborhood TO be
burnt, as being preferable to transporting the
burnt lime. A committee of three, to take
the matter in hand, was appointed, consisting
of r. L. Roberts, e. Lukens and V. Baker,
with instructions to report at next meeting.
Ed. Mason made latterlng report OF the

A MULE CASE. One day last week Billy
Cook saw James Ward leading a mule belong
ing to John O. Hare to Driefus bone yard, and
told him he would give as much for it as Dire.
fus, who would kill it. When ask ed how much
he would give, be said five dollars. Ward
took the mule back to 0 Hare, who refused
the offer, aud the animal was sent to the bone
yard. A few days afterwards Cook saw col
ored man named Carter employed at the bone
yard, with the mule, and being asked by the
latter how much he would give for it, said two
dollars all the money he had with him. The
bargin was closed at once, aud a store entered
where a receipt was given aud witnessed. Soon
after Ward went to Cook $ house and took the
mule away, saying the eolored man had no
right to sell it, and sold it to Johny Beach,
who 10 turn, sold it to a man living across
Hunting Greek, and Cook on Saturday last had
a warrant issued for the arrest of Ward, on the
charge of stealing his mule. The case was
brought before Justice Padgett, but before a
trial was gone into, was compromised.

STRIPPED IN THE oAD.-Constable Beale
Howard, OF Fairfax county, on Friday last ar
rested at the house of a colored man named
Washington Hunter, near the Theological
Seminary, a colored woman named Loney
Madden, charged with stealing the dress she
was wearing from another cclored woman
namcd Susan Noble, of this city. The officer,
with his prisoner, started for this place after
dark but before they had proceeded far on
the road the latter made such resistance that
to make her come farther on the way was i'm
possible, aud so, as the owner of the stolen
garment had ex pressed willingness TO be sat
ished with its return, the officer, with no very
gentle hands, undd the hooks aud eyes that
fastened it upon his sable prisoner, and strip
ping Ter of it, turned her loose 10 the road,
dressed all in white and looking like ghost,
to alarm all she might meet on her way home

CoNsTITUTIoNALITY OF THE Iowa LIouoR
LAw.-An Iowa liquor dealer, who has had
liquor seized under the operations Of the excise
law in that state, has carried the case up to the
United States Supreme Court, and as the case
involves in general terms the constitutionality
of all liquor laws similar to that in Iowa, tb q
decision of the court will be regarded with con-
siderable interest. The claim of the dealer is
that under the recent amendments to the United
States constitution, he cannot, as q citizen of
the United States, be deprived Of his right of
property in LIQUOR by the action of the state
legislature, and whether or not his position is a
legal one is the question which the court has to
decide.
