The Boston Massacre Of 1870.
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
The following account of Warren's
address on the massacre anniversary.
one hundred and one years ago, is from
the diary of an English officer. 1t has
if we are right, never been printed un-
til now:
MARCH 6, 1775.-This day an ora
tion was delivered 10y DIR. Warren, a
notorious Wing, at the great South
church, opposite the Governors house.
1t was in commemoratiOn of what they
term the Massacre on the 5th of
March, ITO. 1t was known for some
days that this was to be delivered. Ac-
cordingly great number of officers as
seEbled at it, when, after a most sedi-
tious intiammatory harangue, John
Hancock stood up and made a short
speech in the same strain, at the end of
which some of the officers cried out
'Fiel fier which, being mistaken for
the cry of fire, an alarm Immediately
ensued, which filed the people with
such CONSERVATION that they were get
ting out as fast as they could from
the doors and windows. 1t was inn
agined that there would have been a
riot, which, if there had. would in all
probability, have proved fatal TO Han
cock, Adams, Warren, and the rest of
those Williams, as they were all up in
the pulpit together, and the meeting
in such manner that they could not
have escaped. However. it luckily did
not turn out so; it would indeed have
been a pity for them to have made
their exit in that way, as | hope we
shall nave the pleasure before long OF
seeing them do it by the hands of the
hangman."

The Blood. Hounds Of AndersOnville.

Having been a prisoner of war du-
ring the late rebellion, and had the
misfortune of being confined in Ander-
sonville, where they did use blood
hounds to hunt Union prisoners with,
| would like to ask Mr.. Hill and his
admirers what kind of dogs they used
in the south to hunt negroes? The
keeper and the owner of the dogs at
Andersonville made me this PROPOSE
ton one day while talking with him
about the merits of his dogs: That |
might mount horse at the prison gate
ride as far as | chose, swim a stream,
change my horse, and do all that L
could, even to changing my clothes,
give me one days start, and he would
overtake me before | could reach the
Union lines. He told me that they
were the best pack in the South. The
chances were very poor to escape from
Andersonville. If one CHANGED to get
a start, he was most always brought
back and put into the chain gang, and
had to wear ball and chain OH each
foot. | have seen as many as eighteen
chained together, with a chain fasten-
ed to their necks, besides the balls ard
chain.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Judge Black thinks it will take some
thing more than the Belknap affair to
float the Democrat party into power.
Indianapolis Sun: Governor Hen
bricks is pursuing Hon. Frank Landers
with his little hatchet and scalping-
knife, and blood in his eye.
The latest Democratic victory"
which was sent over the wires to cheer
tie New Hampshire Confederates was
the refusal of the Democrats on the
Ciymer committee to supply the Grand
Jury with evidence which might con-
Wet Belknap.
Toledo Blade: So Clymer knew, be-
fore Mrs. Marsh left Washington, that
she was ready TO swear to Mrs. Belk-
naps's confession that she received a
large sum of money from Pendleton for
securing that railroad claim, and yet
Clymer aided Mrs. Marsh's departure
without taking her testimony.
Orth's nomination will suit all the
Republicans. as soon as they see how 1T
does not suit the Democrats. Tie
Sentinel devotes several columns to
the task of showing that the Republic
cans made mistake in nominating
him. 1t was mistake which will cost
the Democrats dearly.-Iad. Reputh-
can.
Philadelphia Times: The public
will not take kindly To reflection or ill.,
nuendoes against Mrs. President Grant.
For seven years Mrs. Grant has. beeil
the mistress of the White House, and
her name has uniformly and justly es-
capped the scandals which have spared
SO few in their sweep. She has been a
model, sensible woman for the women
of her Country, and commands the uni
versal respect of the nation.
The NeU York Herald, which has
been very bitter about the Belknap de-
v,lopnents, says: mo remedy for the
evils from which we suffer could well
lie worse than that of handing this
country over to party that is only the
flag end of the Confederacy; that be-
lieves Andersonville was a modern
Garden of Eden. and regards jeff Da-
Wis as martyr and "a patriot. That Is
not remedy that the people will ac-
cept.
Ne,o York Graphic: If Ralph Waldo
Emerson had been President Grants
nominee, the World would have shown
him TO be pirate in the habit of climb
over fence and stealing Mr.. Lowell's
chickens, and who would not hesitate
to steal Bronson Alcott's trousers foT
his own base purposes. The average
nominee of the day mast expect a hard
time of it. May this not be a reason
why honorable men decline office, leav-
ing our great public trusts to be filled
with those of the baser sort?
Neu York World: The Democratic
party cannot come back to power upon
the bare argument of the unworthiness
of the opposition. The country has
trusted it 10 some degree in the cleo
ton of the present Congress. And
there the country and the people rest.
They wait for this party to do some
thing to entitle it to further and lar
ger trusts. Thus far it has done moth
ing. 1t has wasted a session and frit-
tered away large opportunities; and
perhaps by and by, when it will be too
late, it will awake to the discovery that
no party, least of all this one, that has
dole so much to be repented of, can
reirstate itself in public confidence by
the negative virtue Of not having COM
mitted the crimes and follies which it
had no opportunity for.

Loss BY DRYNESs.

1t is stated that corn loses one fifth
and wheat one-fourteenth by drying.
From the estimate made it seems that
it would be more profitable for the far.
mer to sell unshelled corn in the fall at
seventy-five cents, than keep it until
spring and sell it at one dollar, and
that wheat at one dollar and twenty-five
cents in December is equal to one dollar
and half the succeeding June. In the
case of potatoes-takiHg those that rot
and are otherwise lost-together with
the shrinkage, there is no doubt that
between October and June the loss to
the owner who holds them is not less
than thirty-three per cent.

HOW TO MAKE HoT-BEps.

AS it will soon be time to make hot
beds for early cabbage and tomatoes,
will give some of my experience in
the last ten years. Anyone not expe
rienced might think it a very easy
thing to make hot bed, but he will
find tiiat after he has been in the bust
ness for years he will sometimes fail.
1t requires a great deal more care and
attention for early beds than those Ia
ter in the season. The first thing is to
select warm sheltered spot, on the
south side of some building. and it
should be protected from the cold west
winds.
After leveling the ground, haul your
fresh horse manure there should be
considerable straw mixed with i'll. and
put it in pile, off to one side. where
you want the bed. In hauling be care
full to have it well shaken apart, so
there will be no Jumps in it. After
this has lain from one to three days, ac-
cording to the state of the manure
mence and shake the manure evenly
over the place prepared for the bed, till
the manure is not less than twenty or
twenty-four inches thick. 1t should
extend eighteen inches beyond the
frame on every side. Before putting
on the frame, take a wide board, and
begin on one side and go over the bed,
laying the board on and pressing down
by walking on it. This will keep the
surface level. If the weather is cool.
the manure should be covered asquick-
ly as possible, with earth. Common
garden soil will be the best for the
first two or three inches on the manure
as it will hold the water better than
soil from the woods, but the top should
always be light soil from the woods,
and rotten logs. 1t will not pack or
bake after watering. The dirt should
not be less than seven or eight inches
deep; this will give the plants good
bed to make roots before reaching the
manure. As soon as the dirt is on and
leveled, put your sash on and cover up
tight with boards or straw; aud let it
remain covered up thirty-six or forty
eight hours. This will give the bed
time to cool off from the heat, and also
any weed seed to terminate that may
be in the dirt Before sowing your seed
rake the bed and pulverize all the clods;
then mark out in rows, north and south.
not less than six inches apart; scatter
the seed la about five or six to the inch:
water and cover up again. and leave
till the plants begin to- come up, which
will be- in from two days to week, ow-
ing To the heat of your bed.-B. u. ia

Indiana's Loyalty to Her Sons.

Indiana is famous for loyalty to her
own sons. We remember before the
National Convention Of 1858, which
nominated Grant and Colfax, every
newspaper and every orator in the
State, was doing its level best for Col
....l, and when the convention was held,
that gentleman owed his nomination
to the fact that all Indiana seemed to
have been poured into CrOsby's Opera
House, and could and did do about
three times as much screaming for
their fayOrite as the friends of all 9TH
er candidates combined. Ill. J

FERTILIZER FOR STRAWBERRIES.

A correspondent of the Lancaster
Farnaer procured half Il hogshead, flied
1t with rain water aud put into it one
half pound of ammonia sulphat and one
half ponnd common nitre. When the
strawberry plants are poisoning out
he gave them sprinkling of the solu-
tion at evening once or twice week
until the fruit WAS nearly of size. The
result was double the amount of fruit
on those where the liquid was applied,
to what was obtained from those along
side, to which none of the liquid was
applied.

July was accompanied by frost, and
on the 9Th ice formed the thickness
