Does Not Intend to Build.

Gen. Sherman has recently written Q letter to the agent of firm who had applied to him for the contract to place lightning-rods upon the fine mansion which, it was rumored, he intended to build upon Orange Mountain, New Jersey, in which he says:
 eff you find the house I am erecting on Orange Mountain, please put any quantity of lightning-rods, to attract the lightning of heaven to demolish it. Idon't care whether the rods be round, square or twisted. Anything to stop this nonsense. Architects, landscape gardeners, builders, &c., keep writing to me about this house, when, in fact, it is as much as can do to make ends meet here-and finally I expect to con- tent myself with log home on the prairies of Kansas or Nebraska when Congress turns me out to grass. Tell MT. Lyon, "who served under me three years," that his experience as a soldier should convince him that Uncle Sam is not so generous to old soldiers as to enable them to have fancy house on Orange Mountain or elsewhere. I have house here, but the city taxes me for it about as much as Uncle Sam allows me for rent. How the story got circulated that I was going to build on Orange Mountain passes my under standing, and if you can stop it I will regard it as feat better than protect ing mo against lightning"

Indian Murderers Hanged.

Three Indians were hanged at Fort Smith for murders committed in the Indian country. One of them is named John Reilly, full-blooded Choctaw, who killed in November last Perry Dewall, a Deputy United States Mar shal, who was attempting to arrest him on charge of killing negro. He was desperado, and was dreaded through out the Territory.
 Another is Isaac Fillmore, also full blooded Choctaw. He is only sixteen years of age, and was utterly uncon- cerned about his fate. Last June he went out to kill and rob some person, being too indolent and worthless to work for living, He met poor trav- eler, who had come all the way from California on foot. After passing the man he turned back and repassed him few steps, and then wheeled and shot him dead. The entire booty was $1. 50 and pair of shoes. When asked if he knew the name of the man he had mur- dered, he replied with scowl, "Dog-on if knowW
 The third is John Pointer, a full blooded Seminole Indian, convicted of the murder of drover of the Choctaw nation last fall. He declared his inno- cence with much feeling, and said he had to die for a deed committed by another person. He was believed by the prison keepers to be innocent.

Rowing for the Girl he Loved, }

A young man of Evansville, being at an up-river town few days ago, took a skiff to row to tbe next town down stream. About the time he put out he noticed man and woman on the oppo- site side of the Ohio, the man pulling with all his might down stream. The Evansville youth did not want to be beaten by man who had load while he had an empty skiff, so he bent him. self to his work with great energy. Row as hard as he might, the oarsman on the other side kept ahead of him, until the young man made up his mind there was something wrong with the current and he tried to cross.
 This seemed to give additional energy to the other oarsman, whose feathered oar " was piled with such will that he gained sensibly, and our Evansviller dropped back, but still kept the couple in sight.
 After half days row the single oars- man stopped at town, rested, and did such business as he found, and took the next steamer for home. On the way down the steamer was hailed, and the couple from the skiff got aboard. The young man, after 8 short time, ap- preached the champion oarsman and remarked "Well, you beat me, didn't you but tried hard to get ahead"
 Thunderation p exclaimed the man. "Was that you a-pullin' after us? I thought it was Lizzie's father, and I just lit in with all my might, but it's no use now :; we are married for good now, stranger. and wouldn't row that hard even if the old man was to heave in sight"

Origin of the Troubles.

A correspondent of the Scranton (Penn.) RepubHcan describes the ori- gin and progress of the troubles be-. tween the employees and the Erie Rail- road Company at Susquehanna Depot as explained to him by the Chairman of the former: "During the past winter the mechanics were working on three quarter time, and even at the small rate of wages they could earn, it fre- quently ran into the third month be- fore they could get their pay, and then there was no fixed time for paving. On or about the 3d of February the men struck for regular payday, and the matter was settled by the company stating that they would make the 18th of every month payday in future, and that they would give the men their February pay on the 18th of March. The men resumed work, and when the 10th ot March came, notice was given through officials that in consequence of certain endorsements into which the company had fallen in New York they could not pay before the 25th. The men accordingly yielded the ten days grace, and when the 25th came notice ap- peared on the bulletin board in the shops to the effect that the paymaster had commenced paying elsewhere, and that those along the line who were paid first on last month would be paid last this time, and Uice versa. This notice was eagerly scanned, and its contents spread throughout the entire range of shops as rapidly as wave of fire sweeps over the parching prairie, the men taking it as an insult. According ly, pursuant to a resolution adopted on the 18th, work was immediately sus- pended by the HOO men, bells were rung, a mammoth steam-whistle was blown, the officials forced from the shops, mill band and lathe and wheel were thrown idle, and the entire works cleared and under complete control of the men in about twenty minutes. In addition to striking for regular pay day, the mechanics also demand regu- lar apprenticeship in the shops instead of employing unskilled labor, as at present, to do the work of mechanics they also want to be paid up to date, and receive at the rate of time-and-a- half for all overtime. The regular monthly pay of the employees in and around the machine shop averages $5O,- 900. The population of Susuuehanna Depot is about 5000, many of whom are dependent on the earnings of the men employed in the Erie Railroad Company's machine shops"

A Butter Mill.

News of the latest thing in butter comes to us from Wisconsin. Near Belolt is an establishment conducted by company who purchase of the neighboring farmers butter fresh from the churn, unsalted, and the product of over 2,0O0 COWS is obtained. From 500 to 1000 pounds of this butter is put into vat made of 2-inch plank, 8 inches deep, 24 inches broad, and 8 feet long. With wooden instrument the butter is then separated into small pieces, when moderately cold water is let in to cover it, and then a wooden hoe stirs the whole thoroughly together. Then the butter is put into another box with a screen bottom, through which it is forced by means of lever, at the rate of 1000 pounds in less than five minutes. Winter butter being white is colored; the salt is added, after which it IS put through another machine, by which the salt is evenly distributed and thus two men can handle and pack, ready for market, from 5000 to 5000 pounds day, and the butter is of uni form quality, sound and sweet. This process, which is said to be patented, is looked upon with favor, and it is pre- dicted that in all large butter producing districts it will take the lead.

Come, and Let Us Reason Together.

To the afflicted in body, we offer a few words of plain, practical reasoning. No matter under what form of sickness you labor there is one great truth you should ever keep in mind, viz: All dis ease originates in an impure condition of the blood. Purify that, and the dis ease must depart, for it has nothing to feed on; but you cannot purify the blood by the use of poisonous drugs, and exhaustive stimulants ; the relief which these afford is temporary and deceptive, leaving you worse off at every interval. The best Blood Pari- fer ever discovered is DR. WALKERS FAMOUS VINEGAR B1TTERs, compounded of simple herbs. No matter how hope less your case may seem, try the VINE GAR BrrTERs, and few draughts will convince you of their virtue. Dr. Walker, the discoverer of this priceless remedy, had been given up to die by the Physicians, and is now sound and healthy man from their use.-Com.

WHAT HE LosT.-A few years since there pervaded Chicago a speculator in grain, the boldness and magnitude of whose operations were worthy even of that city. This gentleman, MT. Richard H--, had gone into one cornering operation in wheat by which he became slightly "hurt." In alluding to it a few weeks ago he remarked, with char acteristic blandness and frankness-" lost in that speculation one million five hundred thousand dollars, and the worst of it was that fifteen hundred dollars of it was good money that put n on the start ?
