NEW INVENTION IN ScAREcRoWs..

NEW INVENTION IN ,ScARECRows.--
An American journal suggests two new
forms of scarecrow which are worth try
ing, being both simple and likely to be
useful. One. plan is to place two small
mirrors back to back, suspended by q
string to a tall elastic pole, and allowing
them to sway about in the wind. The
SUMS rays are reflected all over the field,
and the crows, being unable to under
stand the cause of the lightning flashes,
are frightened out OF their wits; The
principal objection to the adoption Of
this plan in this country is that even in
the summer time we, are. not certain of
the sun putting in an appearance for
many days together but it is at any rate
worth trying. The second plan, which
issaid, to be. especially well suited to fields
subject to- the iaroads of small, birds and
young chickens, is to construct an arti-.
fetal hawk out Of a big potato, BY adorn-
ing it with the long feathers Of geese and
other birds. Ehe homemade, hawk !. is
suspended BY a string to q long pole, and
left to sway and swoop about j. The wind.
The skill of the manufacturer will be
tried byb the. way In which he sticks in
the feathers to initiate the wings aud the
tail Of the bird of prey. and bis trouble

The bailiff disappeared and re-appeared
shortly with an inch and half Of corn

man, but not a sufficiency for an Alabama
judiciary system.
"Go back" thundered the judge, "and

AN INTERESTING ExposuRE.-The
New York Times is making itself noto-
rious just now, says the Albany Argus,
by its malignant abuse of the man for
whom, no very long time ago, it had only
words of commendation. Why it is now
so inconsistent will appear from an incl
dent to which I am able to call your at
tention. A short time before the Demo
cratic Convention met at st. Louis, Hud-
son iAinsley, Esq, attorney-at-law in
Salamanca, Cattaraugus County, had q
conversation with A. w. Ferrin, editor of
the Cattaraugus Republican. The title of
the paper shows the political color Of the
editor. On that occasion Ferrin said: ::
"I suppose from allindications Governor
Tilden will be nominated for the ePresi-
dency at st. Louis. I am. induced to
think that he is the strongest man that
could be chosen. But we shall do our
best to beat him. It is already arranged
that the New Yor Times is to fabricate
false statements regarding the personal
and political character of Governor Til
den, and the Republican country papers
are to republish them."
This may seem extraordinary, but the
fact can be substantiated. 1t has already
been publicly. asserted by Mr.. Ainsley
and, so far as know, it has not been
contradicted. There appears to have
been a cold-blooded scheme formed to
blacken the character Of Mr.. Tiden by
false charges-that being the only posi-.
BILE means which the Republicans had OF
counteracting the effect Of Governor Til
denis weilIdeserved: reputation as re-
former. Both parties to ithis arrange
ment, you see, are! fulfilling their cove
nants with the greatest, zeal that has eyer e
been shown in q bad cause. ''' '

ing letter from Gen. Sherman was read :
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF U. STATES, |
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug 80, 1876. !
E. r. Kennedy, Esq.,, New York:
DEAR SIR: I thank you for the COM
pliment conveyed in your note of the
29th, and regret that proposed trip to
California prevents my being in Brook
lyn on the day you name. Of course I
am pleased to note the honor in which
you hold the National emblems which
we followed to the sea, and that you
number among your members some OF
the men who composed that army. I
feel every possible interest in the honor
and glory of our National Government,
but trust you will not use my name in
any party connection. must not be a
partisan, because I have chosen to dedi-
cate my few remaining years to my pro-
fession, which is entirely national, leav-
ing every citizen free to choose his own
course in life, and to ally his civil for
tunes to any of the parties into which
free people always divide for the varied
interests that always exist
With great respect, your friend,
w. T. SHERMAN, General.
