 G. E. O. writes to the Times: There seems to be great deal said about cooking food for cattle. I know it pays for hogs, and why will it not pay equally well for cattle2 I intend to give it trial next winter. Why will not a fifty gallon kettle, set on an arch, witha good cover, be as cheap and effectivo for twenty or twenty-five head as anything could get2
 Reply.-Such kettle as this would answer the purpose very well. Awooden pipe to carry the steam into feed box, in which the feed could be steamed, would be them easy and economical mode Of using such a kettle, covered with plank cover clamped down with screws.
 Burning Grass---Broom Corn.
 J. O., Huntingdon county, Penn, asks the Times if there is any loss of fertiIzing matter in burning the dry grass of meadow in spring also the profits of growing broom corn.
 Reply.-There is no loss of any ac- eount in burning the dead grass on meadows the ashes left are of more immediate use than the dry grass would be. The burning is therefore & bene- it. The usual crop of broom corn is 300 to 1000 pounds of brush, worth -fom five to ten cents per pound. Out of this comes cost of the crop, and baling and marketing the brush, which may cost from $25 per acre upward.

PROMPT Reinforcement.

When the physical energies are overtasked
or flag through weakness or disease, they
need prompt reinforcement Renewed vig-
or is most speedily supplied through the
medium of a tonic stimulant, and, among
medicinal resources of that class, ,Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters assuredly deserve pre-
eminent place. Weakness, whether consti-
tutional or arising from disease or over IA
tigue, cannot be better compensated for than
by resort to this prime Strengthening cor
dial. The enfeebled invalid, the GONZALES
cent, and the aged and infirm, find that it is
an unfailing source of vigor and comfort.
Its combined tonic and Alternative properties
also constitute it an invaluable remedy for
indigestion, weakness of the organs of urin-
alton, constipation, torpidity of the liver, and
many other irregularities and disabilities,
and render it an invaluable protection
against malaria, as well as disorders of the
stomach and bowels. mar3w4

The Thief Arrested and Nearly $500 of

We noticed i'm our last issue that the

money stolen on the night of Tuesday
the 2Sth ult., while that gentleman and
his family were absent at church.
On Wednesday Mr.. III. came to Findlay,
and after a consultation with his attor-
neys, by their advice secured the services
of Capt. JAMES WILLOW, of our public
force. Capt. w. went to the residence
of HOY, and after a careful survey of
the premises, proceeded to work up the
case. An examination Of the window
frame over which the burglar had effect
ed his entrance. showed that the rascal
had worn a boot which had peculiar
nails in the heels, and it required but
little effort to get a plain fac Simile of
the print thereof. Armed with this al
most unerring clue, Capt. w. com
menced the search, and in a very short
time spotted" his man, HENRY DODGE,
a near neighbor of Mr.. HoY's, who had
paid out S5S the next day after the burg
larry, which he claimed had been. paid to
him on a note which he held against a
man near Whartonsburg. By visiting
this gentleman iG was found that he had
paid no money to DODGE, and owed him
none. Other strong suspicious being
raised against DODGE, Capt. WILSON
last Tuesday swore out a warrant against
him before ELI SHELDON, Esq, OF
jackson township, and went to his house
and arrested him. He at first denied the
charge, but at last "gilted," and said
that the money, except the S5S, was
hidden some eight or ten miles away in
the woods. He then went with Capt.
w. and Mr.. HOY to where he had hidden
81 ,275, in the splintered stub of tree,
which was recovered. He claimed that
he had left S432 in hollow log, but il
could not be found there, and it is sup
posed that it had been carried off by
squirrels.

Monday, in default of 81, 600 bail We
believe that DODGE has always had a
fair reputation up to this time He was

ARCADIA, O., Mar. s, 1876.


EDS. JEFF. Our schools closed on
Wednesday, the 1st inst. The teachers
were Mr.. J. G. CummiEs and Miss Lizzie
Lindsay, both of your town. Mr.. Cum
minis taught the advanced scholars He
is an excellent disciplinarian, and con-
Quoted his department in a most salts
factory manner. He made many warm
friends in this community.
Miss Lindsay conducted the primary
department, this making the second
term she has taught in our schools She
gave great satisfaction, and we under
stand the Board tried to engage her to
teach the Spring term, but without sue
cess. On the last day there were literary
exercises by the scholars of the primary
department, after which a bounteous
dinner was served up TO the crowd in
attendance, while the Arcadia Cornet
Band enlivened the occasion with sever
al pieces of music we'll rendered. 1t was
an enjoyable occasion, and the teachers
bear with them the affection of both
scholars and parents.
Our Cornet Band is making rapid pro-
gress, and their performance is the sub
ject of universal remark. They favor
us with occasional serenades these moon
light evenings, which are highly appre
ciated- Call again, boys.
Last evening the town and community
were saddened by the intelligence of the
death of Mr.. Charles Hales, an old and
highly respected citizen. He had been
ill for some time, but yesterday was
thought to be much better. In the eve
ming, a'out seven o'clock, he was taken
with the palpitation of the heart, and in
a moment expired. His loss in the NJ. E.
Church, of this place, of which he has
long been a most active and faithful
member, will be deeply felt, as well as
in the community where he is well and
favorably known.
Business dull, roads bad, and things
