Geo. D. Prentice's Strange Commits

A paper in the Albany Journal, on the
late George d. Prentice, mentions an
odd privilege bestowed upon the brilliant
editor by Mr.. 1incoln's government.
He had the right Of selling firearms
to loyal people in Kentucky-the sole
right, so that nobody in the state could
purchase even single-barreled pistol
without the written permission of Prem
tice. He administered this unusual
grant 50 honestly, or loosely, whichever
term suits best, that he made no money
by it, although it could plainly have
been turned to an immense account.
He kept few pistols in his office to sell
or to give to his particular friends, but
usually he contented himself with pre-
senting loyal applicants for firearms with
an order on any gunsmith in the city,
asking and receiving no royalty.

VIENNA dispatch says that Count

be to the effect that peace can only be
brought about by an understanding be-

to this or that power for settlement. She

A DISPATCH from Constantinople says
that Raouf Pasha has been selected to ac-

exchange the notifications of the treaty. 1t
is understood that the car, during the
negotiations at st. Petersburg, will consid-
erably reduce the indemnity, and probably
grant some further notifications.

Turkey should unite with Russia in de-
Tending ali its stipu!ations before the con-

A very successful plan has been
tried by placing in MI. Crows way a
number Of grains with horse-hair
run through them. He is bound to
swallow one, and his note of alarm is
soon sounded. It is impossible for
him to dislodge the grain, and if he
can be watched for a sufficient length
of time he will be seen to cut his own
throat by scratching at it. His usual
note is changed, and | can assure you
life to him is such a misery he would
even wish he were dead. It has been
noticed that after the note of alarm
has been sounded, all the crows in the
yacinity Will leave that field and ap-
proach it no more that season. It is
a simple thing, yet all who try it will
find it a success.

Be KIND, BOYS

Horace Mann talks to the boys as
follows: "You are made to be kind,
boys-generous, magnanimous. If
there is boy in school who has club
foot, don't let him know you ever saw
it. IF there is a poor boy with ragged
clothes, don't talk about rags in his
hearing. If there is lame boy, as
sign him some part Of the game that
does not require running. If there is
a hungry one, give him part Of your
dinner If there is dull one, help
him to get his lesson. IF there is a
bright one, be not envious Of him; for
if one boy is proud Of his talents, and
another is envious Of him, there are
two great wrongs, and no more talent
than before. It a larger or stronger
boy has injured you and is sorry for it,
forgive him. All the school will show
by their countenances how much bet
ter it is than to have great fist.

SHEEP HUsBANDRY.

Col Tom Crutchteld, Of CHATHAM
nooga, Tenn, in an article written for
a work on sheep husbandry, now being
prepared by the Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture Of Tennessee, makes the fol-
lowing suggestions about the cares he
deVotes to his flock:
Annually, at shearing time, / Gull
my flock, and take out all ewes and
lambs that are less perfect in form and
fleece, or III any respect inferior. aud
place them with the sheep, keeping to
breed from none but the best.
Il give my flock good attention.
They have access to an open shed, and
salt all the time [ change their graz
ing ground often, and endeay0r to keep
them in W71ifoTna condition as that
makes uniform wool. Any sudden
change from fat to poor condition,
and 0ice pers0, strengthens or dimin-
ishes the fibre Of the wool, which de-
tracts greatly from the fibre Of the
Wool, frequently rendering the long
woods valueless as combing wool. If
the sheep becomes poor when the fleece
is about half grown, aud then fatted,
the. wool inevitably tells it, as at that
point where the poverty Of the sheep
was shown, so will it be shown in the
wool, being much weaker than the
other portions Of the fibre grown while
the sheep was in good condition: this
same cause, as also any ether cause
from which they may have had fever,
will cause them to shed their wool.
have heard it said that the feeding of
corn to sheep makes themshed their
wool. No doubt it is true-as the corn
brought them rapidly from poverty to
f1esh-the sudden change causing the
shedding OF wool, which rightfully is
attributed to the corn"

The people Of Indiana are waking up
to the fact that Senator VOORHEES, is a
demagogue of the most pronounced
type. His glazing misstatements of
fact, his wild and pernicious theories
Of finance, his himsy sophistries and
false conclusions are beginning to be
understood and rated at their proper
worth. At the very time when good
crops, returning confidence, and the
near resumption of specie payments
are giving assurance that the worst of
our financial troubles are past, he is
perambulating the State and bowling
in favor of imitation, willing to unset
tie the foundations of business again.
