a SINFUL POSTURE 400 YEARS AGO.
The following law and law-caae TAX
Ell from the records Of the New Haven
colony in 1863, are strange readings in
these times, The statute says: "Who-
soeyer shall inyeig lie or draw the af-
fcctions of any Made or maido-scT-
want, either to himself or others, with
out first gaining the consent Of her pa
rents, shall pay Il the plantation for
the first offence, 4Ds.; the second, Gl;
for the third, shall be imprisoned or
corporeously punished" Under this
law, ut Il court held in May 1869, ia
cobeth Murline and Sarah Tuttle were
prosecuted "ior setting down OIL Il
cheste together, his arm around her
waste, and her arme upon his Shout
der or about his neck, and cOntin-
Aling in that sinful posture about half

Wallace wilkinson, Of Utah, was
condemned to be shot to death, appeal
ed to the United States Court for q
change of sentence, and asked to DO
hanged. The court has, however, con-
iirmod the sentence, and Wallace will
have to smell gunpower inEtead Of be-
Ing choked to death, as he desired.
Aftor the bungling which usually at
tends the gallows, a man ought to be
shot for wishing to %patronise it, if not
guilty oflpytEing else.

Very respectfully
Tho Poultry Trade.

From our exchanges We notice The
poultry trade is receiving considerable
attention all over East Tennessee,
From the Chattanooga Times we take
the following:
We have received some items from q
gentleman who has been travelling in
upper East Tennessee, in regard to the
immense poultry trade in this part OF
the country. At one point he saw
three cars filled with eggs and three
more loaded with chickens. The
Coops are placed QUO On the other on
both sides of the car. In the center
there isa lane in which the keeper
feeds the chickens and tends to them.
Each car, at a rough distance, has
about ton thousand chickens in il. Our
informant tells It's this amount Is sent
north weekly. Our farmers are begin
ming to realize the utility Of keeping a
poultry yard.
In addition to the above, we would
remark that Surguine & Co., of this
place, Gs well as some other merchants,
ship barrels Of poultry to Atlanta, dali
ly, "a well as barrel upon barrel of
eggs, This business is scattering con-
siderable money in our county.

TIRE RAILROAD AUTHORITIES.
They desire an Honest settlement Of tia,
state Dest.


NASHVILLE, TENN., March IS, 1879
To His Excellency, Albert s. Marks,
Governor of Tennessce--Sir: The un.
6ersigned, representatives of the rail.
road companies named below, believe
that settlement of the debt Of Tenn
essce, upon terms satisfactory to the
people and the creditors CT the State,
would, by a restoration of confidence
and credit, greatly promote the agri-
cultlgGl and mechanical and CONNER
cial prosperity of the people and en-
haliCe the value of their property.
BY far, the largest proportion of the
railroad property in this State-in fact,
above two-thirds OF it's, as the
companies confidently believe, protect
ed, by charter exemptions. from all
taxation whatever, but being DESTROYS
Of aiding in such settlement and there
by relieving the State and her people
from their present embarrassmorts,
the said companies agree, in the event
Of such settlement, that their said prop
erty shall, in the future, be subjected
TO Stare taxation for State purposes as
and upon the same assessments and
rules as the property of private citi-
zcns.
They further believe that should the
State debt be settled such will be the
improvement in the value of property,
In this State, that a fair assessment
upon the railroad property, including
that portion Of it now for the first time
subjected to taxation will produce an
annual fund of between eighty and
one hundred thousand dollars, which,
with a 10 cent tax upon the other prop
crty of the State, will enable her to
meet with ease and expenses cr the
State government, including her char
table institutions and school fund, to-
gother with the interest upon the bond
ed debt and a proper sinking fund for
It's ultimate redemption.

Coy. Marks first claimed that the
State debt was a fraud, Now he rec
ommends that so per cent Of it should
be paid. 1t seems to rs that IL it is q
fraud none Of IL should be paid, and if
1t Is an honest debt It should all be
paid.

Chas. II. Bell was appointed BY the
Governor Of New Hampshire to fill the
unexpired term of Mr.. Walleigh in
the L. 5. Senate. Mr.. Bell is a Repub-
iican, and the Democratic Senate has
refused him admittance. Mr.. Bisbee.
Of Florida, was elected to Congress by
1876 votes. The Democratic Governor
gave him a certificate Of election; a
Democratic Supreme Court declared
Bisbee elected, but Bisbce Is n Repub
lican, and consequently the Democrat
ic House refused him a seat, but has
given it to his Democratic competitor
by the name Of Hull. Just such work
as this will elect U. S. Grant President

RETURN OF EXPLORERS.

Hon. T. J. Butler and ". N. Kelly, who have been oa a ramble through the hills during the past week, taking in the Peck, Tiger and other mines and extending their tip as far as Silver mountain, returned to- cay. They speak well of the mineral pros pect in that section over which they travel cd, especially the Tiger where they beheld a dump pile of orc, some 300 tons, which they say surpasses anything ever seen by them ana they have lived many years in mining countries and examined many dumps of ore. At Silver mountain they examined the mammoth silver mine Ia which they are interested and informs us just as we have been informed by scores of others, that it is a huge lead, in some places 150 feet wide. The ore assays about so to the ton and will, eventually, attract large number of people to it's croppings, who will separate the grain from the chaf. The Tiger mlfl started up ou Monday eveinng and worked as smoothly as an old and we'll regulated concern. Mr. Butler received from the Dep utv Sheriff al Bradshaw another pair of moulds used by :he-coanterfeirers in manu- featuring the bogus Mexiesn coin, which he brought m and turned over to the Sheriff.

FACTORY Y

was started and is now in full operation
 There were most potent reasons why my first venture to start an exclusively Tobacco House in Prescott proved a success, among them were my l5 years experience in this line of business; handling Tobacco and Ci- gars only, and buying them for cash, in larger quantities than the mercantile houses competing with me. II gave better induce meHt to the trade and ha ndling large quan- titles of goods in my line, turned my goods faster, and consequently they were fresher.
 Now as to my second venture: Although have but manufactured i2,oO0 of my own make, of Cigars, since I first started my Factory, can feel already, that the public is apprUciating my efforts to supyly them with Cigar that is superior to any imported, for the reasons, that use the same tobacco that is worked into an imported cigar, and by curing the tobacco on the spot, furnish an article that is far superior both in taste and flavor. than any inn lorted cigar, for the n aSOn that no cigar can retain it's flavor in coming 10 Arizona, on account of being on the road so long in this dry atmosphere.
 I will now call the attention of all Saloon keepers, station keepers, hotel men, and dealers in genera! merchandise, to the fact that can supply them with home made cigar that is a better article, and at less price than any San Francisco house can af- ford to oo, for the reason that am here uu- der small expense and employ no drum mers like the San Francesca houses do, at an average expense of from $50 to si0 per day, which of course is levied on the cigars you buy, and makes them so mpch dearer than can afford to supply the trade at.
 In addition 10 the above reasons why ii would be advantageous for the trade 10 pat ronize Home Industry, there are other ad- vantages which will now enumerate:
 By supplying yourself from my factory you need not buy so large a quantity as you would from distant market, for the reason that you can be supplied at short notice, hence you will always have fresh article ana one that retains its fresh taste and fla vor, and right here is where one of the prin- clpal advantages comes in in purchasing a

There was one passenger and the driver aboard at the time, but as tine robber had them covered with a double Darrelled shot gun and threatened them NIrh dinner of lead, they were pow eFiess and were compelled to hand over the treasure box, when they were allowed to pass on.
