almost $4,000 acquired by making false

have introduced electricity as mode of
punishment. The electric apparatus is in
box two inches in length, three inches
high and three inches wide. 1t contains an
electro magnet. The prisoner is taken to
the ducking- box, but is stripped and blind
folded before coming in sight of the water
box; he is then led around and placed in
box, hand -cuffed but not shackled at the
feet. The room is warm, having fire in it
day and night. He sits down in water
three inches deep. One pole of the bat
terry is placed in the water. A sponge is
attached to the end of the other pole.
The deputy warden superintends the
punishment, which consists in tuching the
bare skin of the conyict IN various places
with the sponge. A prisoner turns small
crank attached to the electric apparatus.
The concern is SO small that it looks like a

officers has passed the House and also the

A Pioneers Position

The Chillicothe. O., Express publishes a
letter in its last issue, which it introduces
in the followina emphatic manner:
We present to-day a letter from Gen.
James T. Worthington, which We must
emphatieally endorse. Coming from a
representative of the farming class-and
writtn by one who has long stood among
the foremost of able thinkers in the State;
twill command deep attention and do
much good for the cause. We suggest to
our breathern of the National press, that
it would be well to republish it. Gen.
WorthinRton is not politician, but
patriot; his family assisted in the organi-
zation Of the State, and his father was one
of its earliest and wisest Governors. Every
word bespeaks his honest conviction of
what he believes to be right and necessary,
and we know it would do great good if ev-
cry farmer, business man and workingman
in the State could read it.
We regret that our limited space pro-
clude publishing the letter entire, but we
reproduce the concluding sentences:
The same means to suppress this move
ment have been tried, as those used by the
slave power long ago, with what success
may be judged by the accession during the
last year of over million of voters TO the
National party.
Unless our people have degenerated
| from the men of O. 1776 and 1870, the sue
cess of their efforts to cast off finantial bon
dage tn Europe as our fathers over one
hundred years ago freed themselves from
foreign political bondage, is now assured.
The struggle must be fierce, and may be
protracted' Many, perhaps most of the
more intelligent and energetic of the rank
and file, though 10th to break the old par.
ty ties, are already with us in spirit, and
the number daily increases. But the po
litical lives of the leaders of both the OLD
parties depend on the defeat of the new
and they will fight desperately against it
unless they can use it for their own purpos'
I And here lies one of the great danger
to the National coalition or compromis,
with either of the old parties.
A cordial welcome to all men of whatev
er party, who agree with US in creed ant
purpose, but no coalitions, no compromise
with what is wrong, however plausibl,
presented. Having announced principle
which we believe to be true and inst, W
must be content "to make haste slowly,
to do but one thing at a time, sure ths
one right step will aid the next; but n
faultering, no step backward!
Our most dangerour foe is the foreig
power back of both the old parties, whic
has mastered both, and will use, both o
either of them to crush the new movemen
for if they do not, other nations will fo

Struggle for Wealth.

The struggle with civilized men in this
world for wealth. This is called the prime
good, the one thing needful; the great
pesideratum of life. So men toll for it;
deceive, cheat, defraud, for it. Give time,
strength and often good health for it. The
truth is, the estimate put on wealth is too
high. Its good, its value, is overrated. It
is not the best thing men can have. 1t
does not confer peace of mind nor purity
Of the heart, heartfelt happiness nor con-
tentment, nor home joy; nor social bless
edness, nor any of the solid and enduring
enjoyments. Wealthy homes are often no
happier than those of the poor and comfort
able livers. Poverty is always an evil;
but fair supply of the necessaries and
comforts of life is quite as apt to confer
real peace as great wealth.
It is not gold nor goods, therefore, that
makes men really wealthy. The best wealth
Ia Of the heart, an enlightened mind, 10y
al conscience, pure affectians. He is the
wealthier who has the largest of wisdom,
virtue and love-whose heart beats with
sympathies for his fellow man-who finds
good in all seasons, all providences and all
men. The generous man who pities the
unfortunate; the wise man who orders well
his life; clings closely to his family and
friends the studious man, who seeks in
struotion in all things, are the truly wealthy
man.

Rules for the Care of Sheep.

The following good rules for the care
of sheep we find floating around without
credit. The writer, evidently, understands
how to take care of sheep, and every far
mer who keeps sheep-as every farmer
should, at least few-ought to paste these
simple rules upon his stable door, that
himself and hands may see them often,
and adhear to them strictly:
Keep the sheep dry under foot with lit
ter-is even more necessary than feeding
them. Never let them stand or lie in mud
or snow.
Take up lamb bucks early in summer,
and keep them up until December, when
they may be turned out.
Remove the lowor bars as the sheep en-
ter or leave the yard, thus avoiding broken
limbs. Count them every day.
Begin granting with the greatest of care
and use the smallest quantity fret.
If a eve looses lamb, milk daily few
days and mix littel alum with her salt
Let no hogs eat with sheep.
In weaving lambs, use little milk feed
Never frighten sheep if you can avoic
it.
Sow rye for weak ones in cold weather
In the fall separate the weak, thin ol
sick from the strong, and give extra care
If one is hurt, catch at once; wash th'
wound if in fly time apply spirits turpen
tine daily; always wash with something
healing. Splinter broken limbs tightly
loosening as the limb swells.
Keep number of good bells on them.
Don't let them spoil wool with burrs.
Cut tag locks in early spring.
For scours give pulverized alum in whea
bran. Prevent by taking care in changin
dry fox green feed.
Iflame, examine feet clean out hoof
pare hoof, if unsound, and apply tobacc
boiled with blue vitrol, in a little water.
If the weather is not too cold, shear 9
once sheep beginning to shed, and careful
ly save the pelts of those that die.
Have some good book on sheep to refe
to. 1t will put money in thy purse.

Death.

It is the thought of death that is terri
BILE, not death. Death is gentle, peaceful,
painless; instead of bringing suffering it
brings an end of suffering. 1t is misery
cure. Where death is, agony is not. The
processes of death are all friendly. The
near aspect of death is all gracious. There
is picture some where of a fearful face,
livid and CHASTITY, which the beholder
gazes on with horror and would turn away
from but for the hideous fascination that
not only rivets his attention, but draws
him closer to it. On approaching the pic
ture the hideousness disappears, and when
directly confronted it is no longer seen; the
face is that of an angel. 1t is picture Of
death, and the object of the artist was tc
impress the idea that death was an appre.
hension. Theadore Parker whose obser.
cation of death was very large, has said he
never seen a person of any belief, condition
or experience, unwilling to die when the
time came. Death is an ordinance of ma.
ture, is directed by beni6cent ends. What
must be is made welcome.

Fence Laws of Ohio.

A subscriber requests US to give the la
test laws concerning fences, in Ohio. There
has been no change made that we can find,
since 1873. The old law is still in force,
relating to the first construction of line
fences The owners of adjacent lands
must bear the expense equally. If one
builds fence on the line and the other
afterwards uses it as part of an inclosure,
he must pay half its value at the time
said value to be fixed I'm case of disagree
ment) by the township trustees, and in case
of failure to pay, to be recovered by due
course of law. If one party is injured by
reason of failure on the part of the othe
party to keep his part Of the fence in re-
pair, he is liable for all the damages, which
are fixed by three disenterested persons
prope rly appointed. The amendmene
made in 1873 provide that in case of con-
troversy between two owners in regard to
the building or repairing of partition fen
ces, either party may apply to the trus-
tees of the township, who, after ten days
notice to all parties interested, shall pro-
ceed to view the fence or fences, and as
sign to each an equal portion by him to be
kept in repair; they shall state the time
within which repairs must be made, and
such assignment shall be recorded by the
township clerk, and shall be binding on all
future occupants for one year, and until a
new assignment shall be made. If either
party fails to comply 18th the decision OF
the trustees, the party aggrieved may give
the other fifteen days notice in writing, and
then if he fail to comply, the one aggrieved
can proceed to repair or build said fence
charging what the material and labor are
worth at the time. The account must be
made out and duly presented to the offend
ing party, and if he refuses to pay, the
trustees are again notified, and they ap
praise the value of the fence or repairs
giving each party statement thereof. l
he then fail to pay the award, the ag
grieved party can bring suit before any
court having jurisdiction on the case, aDt
judgement may be rendered in accordance
with the appraisement Of the trustees, anc
including all cost of suit, appraisment, etc
If the fence is on township line the trus
tees of both townships have concurren
jurisdiction.-Oh,o Former.

A Beautiful Retrospect.

When the summer day of youth is sloly
wasting away into the nightfall OF age,
and the shadows of the past year grow
deeper and deeper as life wears to close;
it is pleasant to look back through the yis-
tas of time upon the joys and sorrowe of
early years. If we have home to shelter,
or hearts to rejoice with US and friends
who have been gathering around our fire.
side, then the rough places of our way
faring will be worn and smoothed away in
the twilight of life, while the bright sun
ny spors we have passed through will grow
brighter and more beautiful. Happy, in
deed, are those whose intercourse with the
world has not changed the course of thei
holier feelings, SO broken those musica
chores of the heart whose vibrations are 81

The wife ofa miner in Hopewell, Pa
had yellow hair of wonderful length and
abundance. 1t was SO heavy as to be a
bother, but her husband would not let her
cut il off. even when offered good price
by dealers in hair. Lately work became
scarce with him, and he did not know how
to make a payment soon coming due on
his little house.-The loss of his home
seemed probable. Then stranger come
along and offered 5000 for the treasured
yellow hair. That amount of money would
raise the mortage on the homestead, and
the husband reluctantly made the sale. He
could not help shedding tears when he saw
the strangers shears despoiling his wife's
head of its beauty, and she wept when she
looked at herself in the glass; but they
consoled themselves with the crisp bank
notes, and the buyer went away with the
hair. A few days afterward the miner
went to pay the debt, and learned that the
bills were all counterfeit.

The beautiful extarct below is from the
pen of Hon. George s. Hillard:-"I con-
fess that increasing years bring with them
an increasing respect for men who do not
succeed in life, as those words are COM
monty used. Heaven is said to be place
for those who have not succeeded upon
earth; and it is surely true celestial graces
do not best thrive and bloom in the hot
blaze of worldly prosperity. Ill success
sometimes arises from a superabundance
of qualities in themselves geod-from a
concience too senitive, taste too fastid-
ious, a self forgetfulness too romantic, a
modesty too retiring. will not go SO far
as to say, with liveng poet, that the
world knows nothing of its greatest men,
but there are forms Of greatness or at least
excellence, which die and make no sign"
there are myrters that miss the plan but
not the stake; heroes without the laurel.
and conquerors without the triunphs."
