0 number of horses have died west

cured by bleeding, in addition to
the salts and cold water treatment.

KILLED.-Coroner Dusse was
summoned, last Thursday, to hold
an inquest on the body of Thomas
Veret (colored,) on Bogue Chitto.
The jury found that Veret had
died from the effects of a pistol shot
wound, and that the shooting
had been done by a white inan
by the name of Charles j. Sharp. ON
the evening of the 4th inst.
The following is Veret's dying
declaration:
On the 4th of July, 1881, at five
or six O'Clock in the evening,
Charles ]. Sharp asked me for a
ripe melon. and l told him / had
none. Then he told me If / wanted
"A fight / could get it. At the same
time he put his hand behind him
and took q pistol and shot me i'll
my belly. He was drunk. and when
he was under liquor he was a dam
gerous character. He always car
ried a pistol with him.
Another account of the killing is
That it was accidental. That Sharp
was in the act of putting fresh caps
on his pistol, when it exploded, and
Veret, who was standing in front
him, received the ball, which caused
his death.
We learn that Sharp started to
Covington the next. morning, in
company with his father and a
friend, for the purpose of surren-
dering himself to the officers of the
law; but it seems that he changed
his mind, as he has disappeared,
and his whereabouts are unknown.
The whole affair is a very unfor-
tunate one, and no matter how it
occurred, it doubtless would never
have happened, but for the repre-
hensible and lawless practice of
carrying concealed weapons.

The eo~ardly attempt to assas-
sinate the President has cast a
gloom over the entire country,
and caused a universal feeling of
sorrow and sympathy. The bull
let of the would-be assassin, which
spilled the life-blood of the Presi-
dent. shocked the heart of the
nation with horror. IF the hopes
and prayers of fifty millions of peo-
pie. and the sincere sympathy of
the entire civilized world, can be
of any avail, then the speedy re-
coyery of President Garfield is as
sured, and fair Columbia, instead
of DOMINIC the sombre habiliments
of woe. will rejoice with her people,
and songs of praise and gladness
will be hoard throughout the en-
tire length of the land, where now
is naught but darkest feelings of
sorrow and mourning, only bright
ened by the faintest rays of linger-
ing hope. The heart OF the nation
trembles in the balance between
hope and fear, and prays that the
life of her chosen chief may yet be
spared. May it be SO.

THE SHOOTING OF PRESI-
DENT GARFIELD.

read the ascount OF the attempted
murder of the President, but we
feel that it will not be amiss to pro-
duee the particulars OF the horrible
and cowardly crime in the FARMER,
for the convenience of those who
may wish to preserve q record of
the terrible event:
President Garfield was shot at
Washington on Saturday morning,
July End, 1881, at half-past nine
o'clock, in the ladies' room of
of the Baltimore 4 Potomac depot.
He had just alighted from his car
riage to take the train for the North.
Secretary Hunt and Mrs. Hunt,
Secretary Window and Mrs. Win
dom, Postmaster James and the rest
Of the party had taken their seats
in the car. Col. Jamison, of the
postotfice department. who was to
have charge of the travelling party,
was standing at the gate leading to
the cars, when he heard q shot,
quickly followed by another.
There was a rush to the ladies'
room. from whence the sounds
came. President Garfield was
found lying on the floor. having fall
len to tbs left. Secretary Blaine
came out of the loom following IA
man and calling Rockwell. where
is Rockwell? The man was seized
by officer Kerney and AIr. Parks,
the depot policemen. The presi-
deut was taken up stairs. Dr.. Bliss
arrived soon afterwards. 1t was
soon discovered that both shots had
taken effect. one in the front right
breast, q flesh wound, and the other
in the back, three inches from the
spine. on the right side.
The wounded President was taken
at once to the White House, where
he received the attention of the
most skillful surgeons. and at last
accounts he was slowly recovering.
THE assassin
was at once taken to prison. The
following is a description of the
arch tiend, and other particulars re-
garding him, as shown on the book
at police headquarters, in Washing
ton City: Charles J. Guiteau,
arrested at $50 a. m, July 2, 1881,
for shooting President Garfield.
Aged thirty-six. white, born in the
United States, aud a lawyer by pro-
iession. Weight one hundred and
thirty pounds; has dark brown hair,
thin whiskers, and sallow complex
ion; dressed in a dark suit with a
black SLOUGH hat"
Charles Guiteau. He came here
in the month of February with re-
commentators from various parties
in Illinois, to secure the United
States consulship to Marseilles,
France. He went in March to the
we'll known boarding house of Mrs.
Rives, now Mrs. Lockwood, No. SO
Twelfth street, and tried to secure
board. Mrs. Lockwood did not
like his appearance and gave him
an out of the way room in the house
in the hope of getting rid of him.
He gave IS a recommendation a
copy of his printed speech, and. as
he pretended to know Gen. Logan
and others then boarding there, he
get along very well with himself,
but not with the boarders, who
avoided him as much as possible.
"He appeared to have a cat-like
tread" said one of the boarders,
and walked SO easily hat he was
always up alongside of o person be-
fore he knew it. He was said to be
rude at the table, SO much SO that
a gentleman and his wife stopping
there would not sit by him."

SORGHUM MANUFACTURE.

year, the following article. which
we copy from the Baton Bouge
Adeocate, upon the subject OF its
manufacture. will prove OF interest:
Editors Adrocate-From q state
ment in your paper, aud from a re-
quest from several gentlemen, a
statement from me is expected on
the manufacture of the Sorghum
Cane. which is now engaging the at
tention of some of our planters. As
I am deeply interested in the asri-
culture of our country. which I be-
lieye to be the foundation of our
prosperity, and as I have observed
the progress of this industry for
some years, and have faith in its
success, I win most cheerfully con-
tribute anything l can. I will add,
that what / say, is not from personal
experience, but from the experience
ofsuch men as Hon. Seth II. Kenny,
James Wilhelm and others, kindly
furnished to me.
To neutralize the vegetable acid
of the cane, good white lime is the
best thing known. For the most
success there should be two settling
tanks. each as large as the clarifying
pan, SO as to draw off one to boil
while the other settles. The COM
mon evaporation pan may be used
without the settling tanks, but great
care should be takeL that the thick
scum should not boil into the Juice.
TO PREPARE H IIME-
Put half a bushel unslacked lime
into a tank or box, pour on boiling
water, s or 10 pals. stil the lime
until all is dissolved. The object is
to remove the potash and magnesia,
which always Injuries the syrup or
sugar. Let the lime settle until
the water is clear; then pour off
the water. Again pour in hot water
as before; when settled draw off
again; the lime then, with water
enough to make it as thick as cream
is ready for use.
Experience can teach how much
of this preparation to use, a the
amount of acid in the juice varies;
usually about n quart to 100 gal
Ions of juice, for syrup; for sugar,
about twice that amount.
The lime should be mixed in a
pail of juice, poured in while the
juice is cool. Then bring rapidly to
the boiling point, check the FIRE.
or shut off the steam, (if boiling by
steam, remove the thick scum. then
boil rapidly taking fare to remove
all scum that may a%rise) until the
green scum disappears. Then if yon
have settling tanks, draw off, and
if not pass on, and boil down as
quick as possible. If drawn into
settling tanks, two or three hours is
long enough, then it should be pass
ed on and boiled down, as quick as
possible.
Litmus paper will tell You when
the vegetable acid ia neutralized.
Excess of lime can be n~eutralized
with porous alum. This can be pre-
pared for use by disolving 5 pounds
in 20 gallons of water; use as
needed.
Boil III pounds per gallon, for
syrup; II pounds per gallon will
readily granulate.
have a lengthy paper by Hon.
Seth II. Kenny, prepared for the
Association, of Minnesota,
which / shall be glad show to any
seeking information on this subject,
if desired by you and those in
terested. I will give a more de.
tailed statement in . future issue.
Respectfully,
