The annual report Of the Peniteutiary Of

Of any similar institution 10 The country
Tho legislative act Of 1867 provides for
the hiring or letting Of conyicts, BY the
Board Of Directors, the manner Of letting

fiscal year was 67S, at an average price Of
seventy-eight cents per day, which yielded
sl6Ss SASS income to the prison--leav-
Ing cash balance Of s22, 1861 over all
expenses. The directory, in reporting the
years work, states that since 1867, at
which time Ohio abandoned working her
cOnyie,s on State account, the sum of
SOS, 623.2l has been paid into the treasury
as the balance Of the earnings for seven
years, and during that period s136, BAH

ing their report they congratulate the
State upon the success of the present sys-

source Of revenue; at the slime time they
have endeavored to encourage reEormatory
measures in which they have met with
great encouragement at the hands of the

PRESERVING MANURE.-The Boston
journal Of Chemisfry states that the sour
ces Of loss in the storage are two; first the
escape Of volatile ammonia and other gases,
and secondly, the loss of valuable salts BY
teaching. The first difficulty may be obvi-
ated by covering the exerement with eight
Or ten inches Of good soil or loan, which
win absorb all escaping gases. A bushel
or 50 Of faster may be advantageoasly
scattered over the heap before the soil is
thrown on. The whole mass should be
perfectly covered, leaving no chimney"
for gaseous emulation. The danger Of
teaching may be avoided by covering the
heap with hay or straw sufficiently thick
to shed most Of the rain. If kept in this
way sufficient time, the manure win I'M
dergo spontaneous decomposition, the pro.
ducts of which will be ready foe immediate
assimilation by plants. The usual process
Is esrting manure to the fields in the au-
tumn to waste, BY both the above processes,

A gentleman who fought the bugs in

The Republican papers just now arc
making loud outcry against ''Cath-
Olic infiuence," and ascribe This 'influ-
ence" to the Democracy.
Let US look at this moment. There
are Bishops Purcell and Ros ecrans-
tie Catholic bishops OF . .Iio-both h
Republicans. There are Generals
Sherman and Sheridan-;he General
and Lieutenant Generals OF the United
Sta'ts Army-both Catholics and both
Republicans. And in this city, it is a
remarkable fact that. for at least half
a cen ury past, every pastor of St.
Thom.s Catholic Church has been
ellher Wing or a Republican, as il
also tie present pastor.

mirals when Catholic regiments and
brigades filled up the Union armies
in response TO the urgent calls of

Very Daring Robbery Grasshoppers on
the War-Patil.

ST. Louis, May 14.-The Democrat
has a special from Clinton, Henry
County, No, giving an account OF "a
daring robbery committed III that
county last Thursday. ID. i. Lambert
keeps a country store twelve miles
north of Clinton. 1t stands alone on
the prairie. He has crCquct ground
in the rear of the building, and it is
the resort of the young people Of the
neighborhood. Thursday morning,
about eleven O'Clock, two strangers
rode up. entered the store. and were
followed by two other strangers. As
seon as the latter entered the storethe
first two drew revoivers and COM
manded Lambe TO stand. The 9th
er Two men went TO the croquet
ground where eight gentlemen and
ladies were playing, and ordered them
into the store. where they were guard
ed by three of the strangers, while the
fourth robbed the store OF two hun
drcd dollars, q fine watch, shotgun,
two rcvoivers, and considerable
quantity of goods. They then left in
the direction of Clinton. All were
well-dressed, genteel-leoking men,
well armed, and well mounted on
splenGld horses. The robbery was
done so quietly and quickly that
blacksmith. working one hundred
yards distant, knew nothing OF the
matter until after the affair was over.
4 gentleman living near Clinton saws
ha saw and conversed with two of the
\ 4ounger brothers, last Tuesday. and
from this fact the robbery is attribut-
ed to the y ouigor and James BROTH
ers. No effort has yet been made to
arrest the robbers, and the dispatch
says it is not likely there will be.
Immense swarms OF chinch- bugs are
flying about in Clinton and adjoining
counties, and myriads of young grass
ioppers are swarming over several
western counties in this state. Great
apprehension is felt for the growing
crop.

The Old Know Nothing organs are
rampant over the so-called Geghan
bill, and are bowling like madmen
about Democratic Catholic Alli-
ance," "Roman Propagandists," and all
that. One would suppose from their
rawlings that they had been impaled on
a horn of one of the Pope's bulls. II
does not suit the purpose of some of
these Radical papers that have gone
raving mad on this subject to publish
the law in question, for it would per-
fectly demonstrate that it gives
to the Catholics no rights or privileges
in any of the public institutions of the
State that it does not give to any and
all other denominations, and that it
is perfectly in harmony with the spirit
and genius of our Republican iEstitu-
tions. All the howlings of these DEM
agogues are designed TO coverp their
own party iniquities and to deceive
bigoted and weak-minded people into
their support. We opine these at
tempts to revive the Know Nothing
war with all its spirit of hate, persc-
cution and outrage will prove most
disastrous failure.
