THE BEECHER TRIAI.-The Beecher
trial, which has been in progress about
three months, is still going on, but
there. is no telling when it will end. A
large mass of testimony has been intro
duced, and the probabilities are1hat as
much more will be offered. The testi-
mony has been most damaging to Til
ton, and although it does not remove
all suspicion from Beecher, it has re-
suited in elevating the latter somewhat
in public opinion.
Mr. Beecher was on the witness
stand last week, when be underwent a
long and searching examination. His
testimony was full aud to the point,
and made very favorable impression.
He is passing through terrible ordeal,
and we trust, for the sake of the chris
tian religion, that he will come out
unscratched.

Rev. ]. HAwKINs.-We regret 10
learn, through private letter, that TINS
beloved Brother and co-laborer IN the
FIsifor has concluded to cross the 70
tomac RIVER, having accepted a call 10
the Evangelical Lutheran congregation
of Middletown, Md. Though sad 10
lose him from our Southern Church.
where bis services are so much needed,
we know the Masters field is not cir
cumscribed by geographical boundaries
nor sectional or Synodical divisions.
Nav he be abundantly successful In his
new field in doing the Lords work.
And may that people fully and lovingly
appreciate his worth and labors among
them. -
f. S.-Since writing the above we
have receive letter from Bro. Hawkins
himself, confirming the facts as given.
We do most sincerely regret the neces-
sity that constrains him to make the
change-resulting, however, from no
ineffciency OH his part, nor from any
want of acceptability to the people he
has been serving, but from cause too
generally prevalent throughout our
Church. We need not name it.
Bro Hawkins yaledictory will ap-
pear next week.-Luheran Fsitor.

Bay" CLEAN Up.-The time of year
has now arrived when every family
should give their premises thorough
cleaning up. This is a highly impor-
tant matter and cannot be attended 10
too soon. To neglect it may involve
the most serious consequences to the
health of the community, for it is a
well known fact that filth is the cause
of many of the epidemics that prevail
during the summer months. Persons
cannot be too careful III attending to
their back yards, cellars, out-houses,
&c, and see that they are kept clean,
and we trust our citizens will commence
right away to put their premises in or
der, by giving them thorough lining.
which should be repeated frequently
during the summer. Shepherdstown,
it is true, has enjoyed long exemption
from epidemics, but thisis no reason why
there should be lack of proper SAM
tary measures. An ounce of prevention
is better than a pound of cure, and it
is to be hoped that. our citizens, acting
upon this principle will go to work and
have every nook and corner Of their
nranises nverhauled without further
DELAY.

WHAT WILL MAKE THE HENS lay
Put two or more quarts of water Ill a
kettle, add one large seed pepper or
two small ones, then put the kettle over
the fire, says the Ohio Farmer. When
the water boils stir in coarse ground
Indian meal, until you make thick
mush. Let it cook an hour or more.
Feed hot. Horseradish chopped fine
and stirred int the mush has been
found to produce good results: -Four
weeks ago we commenced feeding our
hens mush as prepared in the above
directions, and for result we are get
ting from five to ten eggs per day;
whereas, previous to feeding, we had
not had eggs for a long time. We
hear great deal OF complaint from
other people about not getting eggs,
all such we would warmly recommend
cooked food, fed hot. Boiled apple
skins, seasoned with red peppers, or
boiled potatoes, seasoned with horse
radish, are good for feed; much better
than unoooked corn. Corn, when fed
by itself, has tendency TO fatten hens,
instead of producing the more profitable
egg-laying. A spoonful of sulphur
stirred into their teed occasionally will
rid them of vermin and tone up their
systems This is especially good for
young chickens or turkeys. Out of 3
flock of ten chickens, Matched the last
Of November, we have lost but one.
They have been fed cooked feed mostly
and are growing finely.

ED@ ACCIDENT.-We learn that Mr.
Geo. w. Wolf, whilst engaged in run
ming his circular saw, on Swan Pond, a
few days ago, received very severe
wound by being cut in the land. 1t
seems that while he was engaged in
putting a log on the carriage" for saw
ing, he slipped, and in the act of falling
he threw his left hand out to protect
his body from falling against the saw,
consequently his hand and two of his
fingers were badly cut. DR.. Reynolds
is giving proper attention.

DEATH OF THE OLDEST INHABIrANr
OF TIE EARrH.-The California Enter
prise, under the above caption, an
nounces the death of what it says to be
the oldest inbabitant of the earth, as
tollows:-
"The Mission of Santa Cruz was es-
tablished by monks of the Order of st.
Francis. The first record which they
preserved of a baptism was that of an
Indian girl, named Micela, on October
9, 1871. On the 4th OF March following
was baptized Justiniano Roxas, by FIR.
Isidro Salazar, o. s. F. Roxas was then
forty years of age, and perhaps even
somewhat over forty, SO that he was at
least 1913 years old when he died. The
record of his baptism is still preserved
in the register of the Catholic Church,
so that there can be no doubt concern
ing the truth of bis extreme age.
"Little is known Of his career, as he
has outlived those who were children
when he was already very advanced in
years 1t is probable, however, that he
belonged to the Aptos tribe of Indians.
For some time he had been quite feeble
and his death was expected to take
place at any moment, Three days ago
the Rev. Father Adam administered the
last sacraments. At the hour of his
death Roxas was attended by the Indian
who has been his guardian for some
time past. He remained conscious I'M
til within few moments of his death,
when he became insensible, and quietly
passed into the world beyond. We
believe we ne not exaggerate in saying
that Roxzs was the oldest inhabitant Of
the earth
