ARREST OF AN ALLEGED OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
FIEND MAINTAINS DOGGED SILENCE
JUDGED TO ANSWER THE MALFEAsANCE.
CHARLOTTE, January 18Th. c. Secrest
was arrested yesterday in Union county, i've
miles from the town OF Monroe, for the
murder OF his wife and step-child on the
18th of March, 1877. Mrs. Secrest, who was
formerly Mrs. Alice Stevenson, and her
four-year-old child, mysteriously disap-
peared on the above date, when suspicion
of foul play arose; but there was no PROOF
and no arrest. On Monday last party of
hunters were attracted to secluded hollow
in the woods by the bowling OF their dogs,
and repairing to the spot for an investiga-
ton of the mystery found the nearly-de-
cayed remains OF a woman and child. They
were identified as the missing Mrs. Steven
son and daughter. Secrest was afterwards
arrested, but ut the time and since has con
tinued to maintain doggedly an obstinate
silence, refusing to answer any questions.

 Well, the winter in summer clothing had done it's work, and the drain under the house was out of order and, paying no rent, they had not dared ask to have it repaired.

Half delirious, the mother staggered from one bedside to the other, holding on by the head-board, to give them brandy and beef tea and medicines, un- able to call for help to the next room. Not a soul but the doctor came near them for fear of the disease, though friends and the church people sent wine and food and some more sub- stantial help, in the extremity.

ROADSIDE IMPROVEMENT.

MR EDIToR-In your last issue noticed an interesting article from the Agriculturist, in relation to Village Improvement Societies; also giving a brief history of the one in Litch- field. The writer says, and truly too, that the example given by that Society has led to general improvement of private property, and that this desire to improve, spreads beyond the village, and that the farmers outside begin to adopt the general custom. My object in noticing this fact at present is to call the at tention of my brother farmers to this subject that we may all strive to improve very much more in this direction. If we wanted name, our society might perhaps more properly be called-"A Society for Roadside Improve ment," '" and we are all members, whether we will or not; for we all own land bordering on the highway. There has certainly been a very marked improvement of the roadsides, within the last ten years, in all parts of the town. Long rows of young maple and clms have been set out, and with little care, for few years on our part, to protect, replenish and add to them, our children a generation hence, will be riding through shaded avenues, or sitting in the cooling breeze beneath the wide spreading branches.
 But few years ago cattle were running at large, and now6we wonder how we could have endured such a nuisance Most of the rubbish of the farm used formerly to be thrown into the highway, and the roadsides were often dis figured by brush heaps, old wagons or carts anything that was considered useless. have sometimes seen a good load of shade-trce leaves gathered in the Spring from the front yard and dumped in the highway, instead of the barnyard, where they would be wotth a''sil- yer dollar" at least. Now, many of the far mers mow their roadsides where they arc at all feasible, thereby adding much to the ap- pearance of their frontage, and very often the grass if early cut, will pay for the labor. Can we not, by doing little more in this direction, make it pay still better ? Often by removing few rocks and stones to the fences where they are needed, and sometimes perhaps with a slight blowing and grading, a good bottom for the machine or the hand scythe may be had, that will give us fair returns of grass for years with but little care. Much of this work can be done at odd spells, especiallyin the late fall or open winter like the past. We do not need closely shaven lawns, but how much bet ter the roadsides look, if smoothly mOwn and the weeds and bushes cut, when they show themselves! There are many places to be sure, too wild and sterile to be subdued but the easier portions and those nearest to our homesteads, are the first that should be re- claimed. FARMER.

Ho for Africa!

A press telegram from Charleston, s. C., dated March 8, states that the programme of the Liberian Exodus Association is now con- pletely arranged, and the sailing ship, Azor, which is to convey the first installment of col ored emigrants is expected here daily, having left Boston week ago. She was already loaded with provisions of different sorts, agri- cultural implements, dry goods, boots, shoes, etc., the property of persons intending to take passage. There were also provisions and seeds stored there, the whole being amply sufficient to last out the voyage and for some time after the arrival at Monrovia, the ships destination. Three hundred and fifty colored men, women and children, from various portions of the coun- try, are now quartered in that city awaiting the time for their departure. The Azor will carry about two hundred and fifty of these, which is nearly her full capacity. Only those will be taken who hold stock in the Liberian Joint Stock Steamship Company and have the means to support themselves for six months in Liberia without assistance. They will consist mostly of the better class of independent small farmers, who have acquired the necessary funds by the sale, and in many cases sacrifice, of all their property here They are to be pro- vided with comfortable quarters in Monrovia by the Liberian Government, until they are re- moved to the lands which are to be given them at the rate of twenty five acres for each head of family, and ten acres for each male adult. They intend settling in the northwest portion of the territory.
 After landing her passengers the vessel is to- return immediately for more, bringing back a cargo of African products. This method of transportation is to be continued until the con- pany secures fundsenough to purchasea steam- ship, when regular line is to be established between this port and Monrovia for carrying over emigrants and bringing back produce. The officers of the company claim to have on hand now, after paying for the Azor, nearly sufficient funds to pay the first installment on the steawship. Every stockholder has right to one passage to Monrovia, when his turn comes
 It is claimed that g, 900 people through the South have invested in the Joint Stock Associ- ation, and that over 160.0 900 are enrolled to go when occasion offers and do do not consider the claim ah extravagant one, that in this State, if transportation could be obtained, at least one half of the colored population would go, so thoroughly have they been worked up on the subject. The feeling is carefully cultivated and wide spread among them that it is their mission to return to Africa and endow their brothers there with the civilization and enlightenment which
