Fp1roR CouRreR:-The present and for
mer patrons of the COURIER, are rejoice
ing over the return of their old trust
worthy friend to the editorial chair of
their county paper. Long may it wave.
Our wheat is ripenins for harvest, but we
will have light, and doubtless indifTer
ent crop, by reason of heavy rains, grass
hoppers and rust Corn looks thrifty,
but it has an unusual small stalk from
some cause, to the writer unknown. It
has been our misfortune to have our to-
bacoo plants mostly devoured by the in
sects; we may, possibly, have third
of a crop if nothing else destroys it.
Through the kindness Of our Senator,
Hon. Mr.. Tyler, a charter was granted to
a number of our young men and ladies,
for Literary Society, known as Phoenix
Lyceum, which is proving 10 be of benefit
to this vicinity while the youths of our
part are struggling after knowledge,
they are aided by the more thoughtful
and aged: living issues generally are tie
topics of discussion, and are often times
interesting.
Wishing You much success, will close.

REyERsED.-In the case of the
Common ealth vs. Tom Daniels, a negro
girl charged with murder, the Court Of
Appeals Of Kentucky has reversed the
decision of the Fulton Circuit Court, and
ordered her re-arrest, which Sheriff Wal
ker proceeded to do Tuesday, aud she is
now in Jail TO await trial at the August
term of the Court. At the February term
the prisoner was arraigned and the Jury
impannelled, under an Indictment found
at the previous August term, but the
Commonwealth ; Attorney di scovered that
the word Fulton was not written in the
indictment before the words Cirenit
Court" withdrew the indictment and re-
committed the matter to the grand Jury
then in session. The pending indictment
WAS thereupon dismissed, and the grand
jury then in session, found another bin
charging the same offense. The Common
wealth Attorney proceeded to arraign the
prisoner under this second indictment.
but the opposing counsel plead that it was
putting their client to trial twice for the
same ofense;" that under the first in
dictment she had been arraigned and the
trial begun, and that proceedings under
the new Indictment would be subiectiug
her life to jeopardy twice for the same
offense. Judge Robertson decided to dis
miss the new indictment, which left the
pris oner free. Under this state of facts
the Commonwealths Attorney appealed
the case, and the Court of Appeals sus-
tanned the appeal. Her trial will, there
fore, proceed at the August court. We may
not give the points involved with ''legat
accuracy, but as the public understands
them. There is, notwithstanding the Of
Tense, that of numbering and attempting
to conceal the birth of a bastard child,
some degree of sympathy for the prison

HAY For POULTRY. The " Poultry
World makes the suggestion and the
Live Stock journal indorses it that hay
should be the diet of fowls in winter,
inasmuch as they eat grass to advantage
in summer. Bulk in food is required
for health as well for poultry as for man.
Rich and concentrated food is not read
lily digested, and invites disease. Let
good supply of second crop hay short
and containing clover, be secured, and
fowls will eat portion of it all winter.
Short cut clover well boiled is better
than other hay, becauseit possesses egg
making nutriment, besides fibre to sep
crate the concentrated food in the stom-
ach and permit the circulation of the
gastric juice. Apropos of poultry rails
ing, a correspondent of the Scientific
Farmer observes that it is easier to keer
boarding house for poultry than tc
make them pay tribute. Noticing that
few pet hens in flock generally dc
the bulk of the work, he urges the i'm
portance of watching, wedding, and fire.
quent selections and also lays emphasis
on the necessity of cleanliness, and a
liberal, varied, and regular supply OF
food.
