PHRENoLoGY.-The public are being edu-
Gated to better knowledge of Phrcnology
by the publisher of the Phrenological Journal,
that staunch old monthly which has been
published now in New York for forty years,
and during all this time has lost none of its
vigor, and has attained much wider circu-
lation than its technical name would indi-
cate. The publishers announce now great
reduction in price-from three dollars to two
dollars a year-and in connection with this
a chronological Bust as premium to each
| subscriber. This Bust is a model symbol
cal head, made nearly liie-size, of plaster of
Paris, so labelled as to show the exact loca-
ton of all the chronological Organs. 1t is
handsome ornament, well adapted for the
mantel-piece, centre-table, library, or office.
With the aid of this and the key which ac-
companies it, together with the series of ar
ticles commenced In the January No. of the
| PhreaoiogicaL journal on Practical Phrenol-
ogy, each person may become quite familiar
with the location ofthe different phrcnologi-
cal organs. 1t is sent by express, carefully
packed, to every subscriber of the Journal
who sends, in addition to two dollars, the
subscription price, twenty-five cents extra
for boxing and packing, or No. ?, smaller
size, will be sent by mail, postpaid, on the
same terms. Readers who desire a more
complete description, together with prospec-
tus of the physiological Journal, should send
address ON postal card, or accept the pub
fishers offer, and send ten cents-halfpri

"A cessation Of hostilities between Russia
and Turkey, with subsequent negotiations
for the establishment ofa permanent basis of
settlement is daily more probable. Eng
land has informed Russia that the Sublime
Porte is ready to open negotiations for peace,
The reply of the Russian Government is be-
lieved to indicate desire to negotiate, but
the implied proffer of meditorial offices on
tie part of England is courteously brushed
aside. The inquiry is now pressed with in
terest as to what will be the effect on the
price of our breadstufs abroad. When the
war commenced, months ago, large expec-
tations were aroused throughout this coun-
Ty OF an immense demand, at greatly in
creased prices, for our surplus, Now, should
the war cease-then what?-Er.

The Supreme Court,

The lcopening OF the Supreme Court at its
rooms in the new Public Buildings, Phila-
delphia, Monday, was marked by an unusal-
ly large attendance. Precisely at eleven the
c-ier declared the Court open, and few
minutes later the commission of Hon. John
Turnkey, as Associate Justice, was read.
When the reading was completed, the new
Justice, whose term runs for twenty-one
years from Monday, took his seat on the
bench, he having been formally sworn in by
Chief Justice Agnew, at private meeting of
tae Court, on Saturday.
THE MOLLY MAGUIRE CASES.
Patrick Hester, Peter McHugh and Pat
rick Tully Us. The Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania. - Error to Common Pleas of
Columbia county.
On the 10th of October, 1865 ten members
oi the Ancient Order of Hibenians Molly
hagulres), met in the tavern of one Dono-
hue, at Locust Gap, Columbia county, and
there determined upon the murder of Alex
W. Rea, who was obnoxious to them. He's
ter, under whose direction the meeting was
held, was the body master of the Locust Gan
division. The next day Rea was murdered
and robbed, and Hester, McIIugh, Thomas
Donohuc, John Duffy, Michael Prior and
Pat lck Tully were arrested. Hester, Dono-
hue, Ddliy and Prior were charged with the
murder under Joint indictment. 4 sever
auce was had and jury in Duflv's case
acquitted the latter. A SIMILAR verdict in
the case of Prior was rendered, and i'm the
Q. ser Two cases HOlie prosCglacs were entered
by the District Attorney. On the Ilth of
Nay, 1869, Hester was released from the
PRISON of Columbia county.
Under the operations of the two-term law
governing such cases. Hester, who had
been indicted at the February term of the
Court, was entitled to his discharre from
custody at the expiration of the second term
oi Court after his Indictment, which term
expired on the Sth Of Nav, three davs before
lie discharge on the Holc pyUScgui After
the uneanhIng Of the Molly Mcguire con-
eplracles lie was again arrested aud put on
lal Tor the murder of Rea, and MclIugh
ana Iully were tried together with him tor
the same offence. The defence claimed an
behalf Of Hester that he was entitled on the
trial Of the indictment, TO the benefit of the
provision Of the 57th section of the act of
March 5lst, 1860, declaring that if a person
shall not be indicted or tried the second
term after his confinement, unle8s he has
made application for delay, he shall be dis
charged from imprisonment, and that This
discharge shall be available against A
second indictment. The Court below over
rdl,d this defence, holding that as Hester
had been released on a aollc Droseg,li and
no. under the operations of the two term
rule, thc District Attorney had at any time
right to retract his aoiie pyoyogm and begin
new proceedings. This decision, the adnis-

Mlllst and Orchard Grass.

The Golden Millet must be sown
every spring after the danger Of frost
is over, broadcast or in drills, in the
same manner as oats, three pecks or
one bushel Of seed to the acre. 1t is a
very rapid growing grass, and natures
in about ten weeks time. Its yield is
enormous-often as much as five tons
of hay and one hundred bushels Of
seed to the acre. 1t takes much labor
to save it, and a good force is necessa-
ry to follow the machine when cutting
as grain. 1t is eagerly eaten by all
stock; even hogs live and thrive on it,
and it is a crop Of which the farmer is
sure to raise a fair yield every time he
sows, one rain insuring a good crop. l
have seen good hay from it when the
season was too poor to make hay from
anything else, and lam sure that when
any farmer once gets into the seed he
will not want to get out. 1t will grow
IN almost any climate, having been
successfully grown in some part of
nearly every latitude from Maine to
Florida.
Orchard grass is good only as pas
ture or for the seed. Growing the
seed has been very profitable busi-
ness in this country until the present
year-the price ranging from 81 % to
81 80 per bushel, but this season an
unusually large crop brought the price,
even at retail, down to about 81 per
bushel. It is one of the earliest and
most hardy grasses Of which I have
any knowledge. Cold nor heat will
neither freeze or burn it out, and when
once set you have good pasture that
will always be the first you can turn
stock into, and it will outIast all others
in dry, blighting weather. It will grow
on any land that will grow anything
at all, and will improve and tighten
the land every year you leave it on,
and it will be there until you remove
it Intentionally. 1 know some farmers
who have stand Of twenty years, and
seemingly it is as good as new.-W

Fruit as a Medicine.

[From a correspondent Of The Rural World I
An eminent French physician says
that the decrease Of dyspepsia and bill
lious affections in Paris is owing to the
increasing consumption Of apples-a
fruit he maintains, which is an admi-
rable preventive and tonic, as well as
very nourishing and easily digested
article of food. The Parisians use mil
lions of them annually. It is an es-
tablished fact that the free use of good
ripe fruit is a preventive of chills and
fever, SO peculiar to malarious locali-
ties. For instance, the inhabitants of
the middle portion Of Delaware, and
parts of Maryland, where they former
ly suffered severely from fever and
ague and typhoid fever, are now much
more free-and in some localities en-
tirely exempt from these diseases
since the people grow and eat plenty
Of fruit. The free use Of fruit minis
ters a cooling, healthful effect to the
system. If the wealthy folks in the
cities would eat more fruit, and less
pastry and candies, we would see fewer
dyspeptics and more red cheeks And
what a comfort and blessing to the
sick! The time is near at hand when
planting should be done by every one
who has the land to set them on. MOI
one farmer in one hundred in these
parts has full supply of fruits for the
summer and winter. Commencing
with the strawberry and ending with
the apple, there i. no reason why every
man owning land should not have all
these good things plenty in most years
S. MILLER.
Middletown transcript., 1878-04-27

A colored preacher in Florida thus
held forth: 'My brudring, the Israel
ties went over the Red Sea on the ice.
They got over all safe; and dat's de
reason why Moses sung de song OBJ
praise. In de morning, when de sun
was up, hot, Pharoah and de egyptians
come wild DER great numbering chariots
Of iron. Dey broke through de ice,
and went to the bottom Of de sea"
"Stop derer' exclaimed hearer. Il
want 10 ask Il question. I've read Ge-
ography, and Egypt's hot country.
Its under de Tropics, its near the Qua
tor, and dare aint nc ice dare. How
could dey go over on De ice, an dere
no ice dere ?" To which the preacher
responded q am glad you asked that
question. That comes Of reading Cog
raphy, instead Of de Bible. My brud-
ring, when de chilled of Israel 60 ober
de Red Sea, dat was a great whileago /;
before dere was any Tropics, before
dare was any 'Quator. OATS de rea-
son dere was ice, my brudring."

WAsHINGToN's TEOIPER.-These re-
Elections from the Commercials Bulletin
come home forcibly to every married
man: "The question is raised as to
whether G. Washington was in the
habit Of losing his temper. Bless your
buttons! there were not so many mod
ern conveniences for losing the article
in Georges time. He never got all
ready for bed, and then remembering
that the furnace-fre had not been at
tended to, staggered down in his night
short-t--o attend to it. He never
wanted to retire at an early hour, and
then had Martha remind him that he
must sit up to let the hired girl in. He
never had gas bill to pay, and the
plumber had not been invented then.
He never missed a railway train by
thirty seconds, or had to stand up all
the way home in horse-car on wet
night. He never had a district tele-
graph box or telephone put up in his
house, and then, when he wanted to
astonish visitor by summoning car
riage on a stormy night, had the durn-
ed thing refuse to work, compelling
him to pull on his wet boots and wade
through the slush after the desired We
hicle. There were 10 bool,-ageRts,
chromos OF lightning-rod men in his
day. Beautiful Snow was unwritten
then, and Private Dalzell and Sergeant
Bates unborn. Pooh pooh dc not
tell US about @. w. We believe if he
had been dressing for a party and cx-
pecting the carriage every minute, by
the time he had drawn the third shirt
over his head and found the back col
lar-button gone, he would have kicked
the bedroom furniture around and
made use of expletives like any other
man."
