At WOlcottville, Sunday evening, fellow named Morrow cut another young man by the name of Quinn quite severely about the face, neck and shoulder, with knife. The father of the injured man followed Morrow to this place. where he met him on the street, Monday noon, and tried to arrest him. The fellow sprang away down Meadow street. A hue and cry was started, and forty people or more chased after him to the swamp near the West Cemetery, where he was finally found, about three o'clock, hid in clump of bushes He was arrested by Constable Blakeman and lodg- in jail. He has since had his preliminary hear ing before Wolcottville magistrate and has been returned to jail for lack of bonds.

About Churns.

"Mollie" says in the Detroit Post and
Tribune: The good old dash cburn
ought not to be laid aside for the new
patent-right one. The agent, with
smooth speech, may partially convince
you it is the best thing yet invented,
but before you decide weigh it careful
ly and forget not that using enough
power to have butter come quick in
jures the grain and texture of it.
Not long ago we witnessed practi-
cal test between the two. While the
agent was advocating the good results
from the use of the patent churn,
among other things, he said, "the but
ter would come in three minutes, sum-
mer or winter" Cream was put in
the two churns; that in the patent one
came in three minutes, but ten minutes
more were added in which to gather ii
sufficiently; that in the dash churn was
nicely gathered in seven minutes and
the churner did not puff as hard as the
agent.
The butter was of deeper color, firm
er texture and finer grain, and when
the two samples were shown to the
agent he could not imagine what made
the difference; neither did he try longer
to sell a churn.

Mr.. Bryant and the Young Poets.

Mr.. Bryants tenderness of the feel
ings of other persons, and his earnest
desire always to avoid the giving of I'M
necessary pain, were very marked.
Very soon after | began to do the duties
of literary editor Mr.. Bryant, who was
reading a review of little book of
wretchedly hating verse, said to me:
81 wish you would deal very gently
with poets, especially with the weaker
ones"
Later l had very bad case of poetic
idiocy to deal with, and, as Mr.. Bryant
happened to come into my room while
| was debating the matter in my mind,
| said to him that | was embarrassed
by his injunction to deal gently with
poets, and pointing out to him the utter
impossibility of finding anything to
praise or even lightly to condemn in
the book before me. He answered;
" No, you can't praise it, of course; it
won't do to lie about it, butt turning
the volume over and inspecting it
"you might say that the binding is Sc
curelY put on, and that-well, the
binder has planed the edges pretty
smooth. "-EUening Post.

Neglected Americanisms.

A reviewer in ,Scribner for July,
treating of Mr.. Bartlett's Dictionary
OF Americanisms," enumerates some
phrases which that author seems to
have overlooked or rejected. Says the
reviewer:
In running over the pages we note
omissions of words and phrases which
may have been considered and ruled
out by Mr.. Bartlett, but seem to us to
belong properly in his work. He does
not profess to follow any rigid rule of
admission, and the only principle that
seems to guide him is that word
should have popular use here whether
it originated in America or in England.
He admits Conestoga wagon but
leaves out the better known concord
COACH" :" the goose hangs high is
surely an Americanism as much g as
sound on the goose" Sam Slick is his
authority for many expressions and
might have suggested to him another
use of guess in the phrase another
guess sort of a man, "high and
mighty is a picturesque local phrase;
Jerusalemn' is a favorite Yankee
oath; judgmatical is very useful
word, having a nice shade of meaning
as distinct from "judicious''; " kerr
splash is an omatope as fairly as
"keswosh"; "mister," as applied in
the West to any actor in a narrative, is
highly effective title, which gives the
rabbit, the buffalo, or Lo the poor In
dian, as the case may be, a sudden dig

light vehicle, Is Il poetic use; &C the
White House" is an unusual instance
of affectionate frankness of speech; to
"make over" as used of dresses, is
American; SO is " silver as applied eff
fectively to silver plate; a CORVALLIS"

muster; arm-size" has not found its
way into the dictionaries, but is of
similar use; a persons seeming is
an expression often heard in New En-
gland country towns; an American
gets through with thing, when an
Englishman is done with it; to "make
no bones" of doing thing is, we sus-
pect an Americanism; it is singular
that the phrase, to "crack up" which
Dickens so mercilessly employed, does

full descriptive word; to "value on a
draft is an abominable expression,
but it is an Americanism; Ego West"
surely might have had place; the for
chile advice to one disposed to too
much talk to "hire hail." is possibly
of foreign origin, but we think not;
'lobster-pot' does not appear, though
d" fish-pot" does; inasmuch as Bartlett
includes botanical uses, he might have
pointed out ground pine" and "dog-
wood" the American variety being
poisonous and quite distinct from the
English plant of same name; to name
others, boat-ride," to ride in the
sense of drive, hay-ride," old
Betty" " that's not the kind of hair
pin 1 am" and son it," singular
frontier phrase-none of all these emu
merated are to be found in the work.

Crib-Biting.

Crib-biting is propensity peculiar
to the horse, which is regarded as a de-
cided vice, because, when the habit be-
comes confirmed, it is often attended
by very disagreeable symptoms. The
only "cure" for a crib-biter is to do
away with the manger or any object
against which he can fix his teeth.
The horse should be placed in a loose
box, or where there are no fixtures but
the walls. As idleness and indigestion
are amongst the causes of this habit,
the ANNA! should be fed regularly and
worked regularly. Place his hay upon
the floor, and his oats or corn in a
small trough, and remove it as soon as
the food is eaten. BY placing a broad
strap round the upper part of the neck,
and thus pressing on the windpipe, the
animal is for the time stopped from the
bad practice; but this contrivance is
apt, in the course of time, to produce
distortion and construction of the wind
pipe, rendering the animal an incurable
rOarer.

The Assassination OF Mr.. Lincoln.

Mr. John T. Ford, of Baltimore, who
was manager of the theater in Wash
ington in which Mr.. Lincoln was assas-
sinated by John Wilkes Booth, ex-
presses the opinion, in a conversation
reported in the Baltimore Gazette of
Saturday, that it was not until noon of
the day of the commission of the crime
that Booth decided upon it. As is well
known he had for six months been a
party to a conspiracy to abduct Mr..
Lincoln, but the surrender of Apo
mattoX had ended all chance of accom-
plishing this. On the morning of April
IA, 1865, says Mr.. Ford, Booth break
tasted at the National Hotel, and,
sauntering out about eleven o'clock,
went first to the Surratt House, where
he found Mrs. Surratt, who had Just
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-07-06

returned from the Good Friday relig
ious services, about to drive out to the
Calvert estate. He asked her to gel
him some small articles that he had
left at the country tavern, and went on
down to the theater. Mr.. Ford contin-
ues: There he heard for the first time
thay both President Lincoln and Gen.
| Grant were to visit the theater that
night. The private box was in the
process of decoration. The White House
messenger had been there an hour be-
| fore to secure its use. | believe-and
all reliable written or oral testimony
confirms that belief-that then and
there the terrible thought of assassina-
ton first suggested itself. 1t came like
this: If failed to serve the South in
my conspiracy to abduct, can now be
her Brutus.' This thought fastened on
his brain-led him to 90 from the thea
ter toward the Kirkwood House to have
a conference with some of his old con-
spirators. John Surratt was away,
OLoughlin was in Baltimore, and Ar
mold was in suffers store at Fortress
Monroe. They knew the abduction con-
Payne, Atzerodt, and Herold were in
Washington. These latter he got to-
gether, and conspired with them to kill
the President, the victorious General
and some of the Cabinet. He must
have written between the time when he
parted with his co-conspirators and the
hour he again appeared at the theater
long statement for publication, ex-
cusing his intended crime by Roman
precedent. When dying he referred to
it for his justification. He gave on the
evening of the 18th a package to an
actor, directing its delivery the next
day to the National I1steIHgencer The
actor confesses that he, frightened at
the risk he ran, broke the seal, read the
inclosed matter, and at midnight burned
it. If that package had been preserved
itwould have revealed the declaration
that until noon that day its writer had
not premeditated murder, but feeling
deeply the humiliation of the South, to
the people of which he bore all the love
that Brutus ever felt for Rome, he
would strike down that night the lead
ing men of the victorious hosts who
were then shouting their peans of tri-
umph. When dying-with his face lit
up with the blaze of the burning barn
upon the Garrett farm, just at the
break of day on the morning of the
oath, he muttered some words, SOL
der bent over him and caught them
from his fast ebbing breath. First, a
message for his mother, Tell her did
it as | thought for the best and then
he said, Tell others that the commu-

Treatment OF Burns.

A Boston physician announces a dis
covery, which, if its merits are substan-
tiated, will deserve almost to rank with
that of ether. This is the use of soda,
in some of its forms, as a curative of
burns and scalds. DIR. w aters, the ply
stefan in question, surgeon-dentist, if
we mistake not, relates the history of
the discovery in considerable detail,
and gives a variety of instances in
which this soda cure has afforded in
slant relief. Some of the cases are GER
tainly very remarkable, and 90 far to-
ward establishing his theory, if they do
not so wholly. No unpleasant efft cts,
he AYERS, have ever followed the treat
ment to his knowledge. He says: my
treatment is to apply to the burned sur
face bicarbonate of soda, if it is wet
surface, in fine powder; but if it is a
dry burn, use paste of bicarbonate of
soda in water and apply to the burned
surface. This relieves sunburns as
well as burns from hot Goals, melted
sulphur, hot iron, steam, etc. Always
dispose the burned surface so that the
blood can gravitate toward the heart if
possible, as otherwise continuous pain
may be felt, due to dilation of the blood
vessels from the weight of the contained
blood. If bicarbonate of soda is not at
