SAD CASE OF LUNACY.-1esterday
morning, Mrs. L iiloE. Vile ..
Thos. Killduf. a well-known resi-
dent of this city, was examined be
fore Judge Woodward on charge
of lunacy. DR.. ". Z. CardweIl
was the examining physician, who,
after asking the usual questions and
subiecting the unfortunate woman
to the customary test, pronounced
her insane. Judge Woodward made
out the proper papers and the pa
tient was committed to the asylum
Yesterday afternoon. The cause OF
Mrs. Ai.ldaff's insanity, and the cir-
cumstances atte nding are peculiarly
sad. Some days ago an account was
published in the OREGoNIAN OF the
fatal accident which befel James
Hayde, the second mate of the
steamer Gussie Telfair. Hayde fell
down the forward hatch. which had
carelessly been left open-while the
steamer was going from Portland to
Astoria-sustaining injuries from
which he soon after died. This man
had been boarding at Mr.. Killduffs
for some time prior to the fatal &C
cident. After Hayde's death it was
concluded to bring the body to
Portland for interment. The re-
mains were brought to this city Oh
the Astoria boat, and placed in an
express wagon and conveyed to the
residence of Mr.. Killduff. Mrs.
Killduff knew nothing whatever Of
the accident that had befallen Hayde
She was on the back porch at the
time, and seeing an express wagon
drive up containing a human body
with d sheet thrown over it, she
supposed at once that her husband
had been killed and that the wagon
contained his mangled remains. The
nervous shock was so great that the
poor woman never recovered from
its effects. She became despondent
and kept brooding over the terrible
scene her imagination had conjured
up until her reason was entirely de-
throned. She grew SO bad that fl
naliy it became necessary to watch
her continually. Yesterday the
proper authorities were notified and
the unfortunate mother and wife
was sent to the asylum. She
is the mother Of five children. the
Youngest of whom is about two
months old. 1t is thought that
ouietude and careful treatment will
restore the woman to her reason
The case is one calculated to excite
the sympathies of the whole commu
nifty. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that the woman may soon be restored
to her reason and family Oregon

TWICE CONVICTED OF MURDER.

A despatch from Cleveland, Ohio, dated

to be hanged, and it is now believed that

prejudiced; but realizing the ute" uses
lessness of any such attempt, they to-day
announced that they had concluded to file

The Royal Cow.

Whed cotton was summarily discrowned
from its long reign quite a number Of as
pirants reached for the regalia, and iron,
corn, hay and wheat stretched for the
scepsre. 4 rival has entered the field,
while the deposed monarch is regaining
his strength and worshipers; and though
centuries have Iapsed since Egypt deifed
the COW and Homer made ''ox-eyed juno"
more queenly for that quality, the COW is
being siatisticalIy foisted above cotton and
aIfits other rivals. The coronation is, Of
course, at the hands Of the dairymen and
maidens. Their exponent has just declar
ed that the country has 1856, 000, 600
invested in 10, 900 900 mich cows, whose
annual product is worth s275,l42,5s5
while the last cotton crop was worth only
s2O0, 100000.
The enormous sum Of this dairy inter-
est-which includes nothing of oxen, bides
or meat-will surprise every one who has
paid no attention to it. The fallacy which
destroyed the hay argument is partially
wanting here too. For, while onr expOr-
tatiea Of hay amounts to nothing and
hardly equals consumption, there is great
and rapidly growing export Of butter,
cheese. salt and fresh beef and live ami
mails. The sum cannot be accurately COM
puted, and carries the particular valuation
into the same classification with cotton.
For in all these interests the final appre-
citation does not rest upon the amount, how
considerable soever that may be, which is
consumed at home and so lost to wealth,
but upon the amount beyond consumption,
which is exported and enriches the land
by its equivalent in gold or other needs
and permanent Worths.
This gross value of cattle for labor,
manure, milk, meat, cheese, butter, leather
and other ends, is susceptible ola vast addi-
ton and must necessarily expand with
western settlement and increase the re-
turns shown in cur foreign trade, while
sustaining labor at home more abundantly
and cheaply, and 50 enabling every industry
TO flourish in competition with less favored
countries, and greater comforts aud luxu-
ries to be enjoyed by all. 1t viii not hold
the throne it challenges any more than
the hay crop; provided the southern energy
which has done so much toward restoring
its early abundance, holds the course it has
with the energy it is now showing. But
it may, and apparently must, reach high
err sum than any farmer or statistician has
dreamed; for, recovering its total, it has
acquired the best blood of the best herds
Of Europe; has given practical attention
and study to the manufacture of cheese
and butter; has given the leather interest
n new power; is cOnquering Texas, Cali
fornia, Oregon and all the new States, and
is arousing wonder in and drawing money
from Europe and Asia at the same time.

Sowing Rye Among Corn.

ii. Ives, Of Genesee county, New York,
tells an inquirer of the Country Gentle
man how to sow rye among corn, so as to
have it for early soiling in the spring, or
to pillow under:
At the last eultivating of the corn, which
is late in July or the first of August, sow
ahead of the eultivatOr about ! bushels of
rye, which is cultivated in once, and some
times twice by cross-cultivated in corn.
Then, after due time, the rye will come up
well, but it viii only give a spindling growth
until the corn ripens. Then, as the sun
and air are let in upon it, it will spread
and grow rapidly, and cover the ground
with a dense growth before winter. l
have had it commence to stalk up in the
fall, keeping the ground so warm that
plowed it under in the winter, when ad-
joining lands were frozen hard. Two years
ago ! plOwed under such crop the latter
part OF May, as it commemorate head out,
aud was about as much as could be plowed
under. Ii was done to fit the ground for
potatoes, aud the ground showed the good
effects Of green manuring very plainly. l
often extend this practice by sowing after
early potatoes, or on stubble ground, where
clover seeding had failed, so as to occupy
the ground with green crop, rather than
have it lie bare But it is only for fall
growth | find oats the best, for they will
make heavier fall growth than any other
grain | have used

The Best Swine.

The Berkshires and Poland hinas are,
probably, two as good breeds of swine as
exist, yet there are many men who like
other breeds better Indeed, it is not pos
sible to suit everybody with one or two
breeds ofnny live stock. Ifyouask farmer
what objection he has to this or that breed
Of hogs, be may not be able to give any
other reason, only 81 don't like 'em."
Twenty-Five years ago the great objection
to Berkshires was, "they are all hams and
shoulders, with too little rib pork; "b but now
this breed is selling at the enormous price
ofS25 a pair for pigs six weeks old, and we
hear nothing in regard to the call ham
objection. But it is certain that they
fatten easily, and come to maturity early,
and they often weigh quite enough to
satisfy most farmers. 4 farmer who
breeds them says al killed a two wear
old Berkshire last week that weighed sos
pounds, and had $50 pounds of lard.
They sometimes run up to 600 pounds
when two years old if highly fed. An
other farmer gives his reasons for prefer
ring the Berkshire to Poland Chinas as
follows The difference between the two
breeds in respect to early maturity is per-
haps from three to six months; that is, a
Berkshire at one year old has arrived at
as great stage Of maturity as a Poland
China at fifteen to eighteen months. a
certain stage Of maturity is necessary be-
fore an animal win fatten to the best ad-
vantage and make the best quality of meat
Of which the breed IS capable. As we
think it most profitable to turn off our
hogs from nine to thirteen months, and as
the Berkshires at this age are mature
enough to feed we'll and make a prime ar
ticle of pork, and the Poland-C China are
not, it furnishes a coed reason for our
preference
