obtained the post sutlership at Fort

He was not interested with any
parties who obtained appointments Of
post traderships from the secretary Of.

contracts under the Indian depart
ment that he obtained the position on
his own account from the Commission

for these places in pursuance ofknow,

Whereas frequent and enormous

deprived the government of large
proportions .ot its legal revenues
and brought disrepute on an i'm

whereas the interests olthe people

demand that congress shalt take inn

secure economy and honesty in col

Therefore be il resolved, That the

ascertain if possible what are the de-
fccts in the present system, and what

whether it should be advisable to so

Of q radical change in the rcvc,uie

The Farmers Friend The Crow.

The poor crow finds every mans hand
against him, Notwithstanding the service
he does to those who till the ground. Ii
they do not kill him on sight, it is only be-
cause he is usually match for even the
most sharp sighted gunner He is quite
as fond of bugs and worns, and little field
mice and young snakes. as he is of the far
mer's corn. Heis good policeman about
the farm house, and drives away the hawk,
who can do twice the amount of mischief
he is guilty of. He hunts the grass fields
and pulls out the caterpillars and all man
ner Of pests, and probably saves many
other crops, if he Is hard on the corn.
A gentleman has tame crow who
trotted after him as he went out to wage
his annual war on the squash bugs. His
sable attendant put his head on one side
and watched him few minutes, as it to
see how he did it. Comprehending the
business, at last, he went for those bugs
with WILL and cleared the patch in fine
style. He took it for a business the re-
mainder of the season, insuring fine crop.
