VETERINARY SCIENcE.--The Deer Creek
Farmers Club, at its last meeting, took pre-
lminary action on q subject of direct practi-
cal interest to every farmer in the county,
1t was proposed that the club should make
arrangements whereby some worthy and
capable young man might be induced to
study veterinary medicine and surgery, re-
ceiving aid while pursuing his studies. Any
one who has ever had sick horse or other
valuable domestic animal has been made
aware of the small amount of intelligent
skill available in their treatment. Advice,
truly, is plentiful, and remedies without num-
Der are suggested. 1t seldom occurs, how
ever, that any one present is able to say,
with any degree of certainty, what ails the
animal. Sometimes every remedy suggested
is given, in quick succession, and the animal
i,certain TO die from their combined effects.
l. the disease is not sufficient of itself pl o.
duce death. Or else the owner resolutely
refuses to permit the animal to be tortured
to death, and allows nature to effect cure,
If she can. The last named meth, d has
usually been found the more prudent. 1t is
s,fe TO assert that nine out of ten sick d.
nestle animals die from overdosing by per-
son, WHO do not know he c,use of the i'll
mes. nor the effects Of the remedies used -
An educated veterinary doctor would of
cours proceed differently, an many valua
bic ami ais might he s'vyd ly Ills al !. A
skiful veterinary practitioner, who under.
stood his rofession, ~ uld ut one, secure
large lucrative practice il this county.
We hope publc-spr Ted farmers the
county will give their CO. prralion and aid
to pr which, can not fail to bring
about beneficial results

The Salisbury Advertiser, in noticing the
report of Comptroller Heating, advocates The
sale of the States interest in canals, rail
roads, &c, measure which the editor urged
when member of the Legislature He
says

while it was at first necessary for the success
ofthese enterprises and great works that the
aid of the State should be given the time is
now past for them to be of permanent bgne.

far as they contribute to the general welfare
of the people. We are still of the opinion
that their usefulness would be enhanced by
placing them entirely under individual
management, and entirely outside of politics
They are ut present bone of dsconte nt, and
a source of sectional disturbance. We shall
be pleased to see the day when the represen-
tatives of the people take the matter in hand
and pass laws providing for their sale and
conversion into money, and apply it to the
payment of the State debt, and relieve our
people from direct taxation. Some of the
Board of Public Works told us ten years ago
that the time was near at hand when the in
come of the State from these public works
would not only pay off the sterling debt
created for their construction, but keep up
many of the other expenses Of the State
We said then, as we say now, that the child
is not yet born who will live to see a suffi
cient income derived from the States pub
lie works, after paying all expenses of re
pairs and management, 10 pay even the in
,erest on their estimated value. The only
way, therefore, in our opinion, is 10 sell the
whole OF them, and apply the funds as fast
as collected 10 the discharge Of the State
debt.

ter OF First Chronicles; Now therefore let 1t
plea~e thee to bless the house of thy servant,
that it may be before thee for 'ver; for thou
blessest and 1t shull he blessed for ever"
Bishop Pinkney afterwards admin stored
the rite of confirmation TO five persons.

A Revolving AFFAIR.-Last Friday, at
Camden, N. j., Benjamin Hunter was hanged
for the murder, of James NJ Armstrong
They had been associated in business, and
Armstrong, when they separated, was In Hun.
ter's debt. To secure himself from loss Hunter
effected insurance on Armstrong; life to the
amount of 500, 900, payable to himself in the
event of Armstrong; death. Seeing no other
chance of recovering the money due from
Armstrong, Hunter conceived the plan of
killing him, in order to secure the life insur.
ance. He hired weak, dissolute man, named
Thomas Graham, to effect his purpose, pro-
missing him $500. Armstrong was induced TO
take walk at night with Hunter and Graham,
and at a given signal Graham advanced upper
ceived and dealt Armstrong o tremendous
blow on the head with hammer. Graham
then dropped the hammer and fled. While
the victim was staggering about in the dark
ness, half stunned, Hunter picked up the ham
mar, and completed the murder. Hunter and
Graham were arrested, and the latter made y
confession. Hunter stood sohigh in the com
munity that but few believed him capable
of such diabolical crime. II was made plain
ly evident, however, at the trial, and he was
condemned TO death. The execution took
place in the corridor of the court house. The
doomed man, utterly nerveless, or overcome
by the effects of n large quantity of brandy
given him by the sheriff, was unable to stand
and had TO be supported while the moose wa,
adjusted. The arrangements were SO imper
feet, that when the weight fell which was &c
drag Hunter from his feet, he was raised butt
short distance, and fell back on his feet again
The sheriff and his deputy were then obliged
to seize hold of the rope and by main strength
keep the wretched man suspended in the al
until he was choked TO death. Altogether
such q horrible affair has rarely ever taker
place in this country. Hunter amply deserv
ed to die for his crime; but it would seen
that in the light of nineteenth century civil
cation less brutal method might have beer
fund for his taking off. Graham, Hunter
accomplish, will also soon be tried.
