from Mr.. Reynolds is very good /:
"If the smallpox is so very bad down at

The New York Tribune: The liquor

Democracy TO whisky has been slrik-
ingly shown by the defeat of q license

cal0mel, and after that he took the fiux
and was mighty sick, aud in about two
weeks he died. He didn't leave any
messages to no one. He knowed he
was about to die. but didn't tell me any
thing. A preacher was with him
when he died" Andy gave the
name of the family where they stayed,
and related the exact spot where he
was buried in the fullest detail,
but at the request Of the
sheriff we suppress these statements, as
he proposes to personally investigate
their truth. He stated that he was bu-
ried about a mile from the place where
ne died, and that several people helped
10 bury him. The only articles he gave
Andy we're a comb and a looking glass !;
the latter was broken, and the comb he
gave to his brother-in-law Littleton, at
Loudon, on Wednesday. He says he
suffered great agony before he died"
NO FEAR or DEATH.
When he concluded the story of Johns
death, Sheriff Springfield asked him if
he felt safe.
"Feel saie:" he responded, Jesus
Christ, feel safe anywhere. l don't
dread anything. If . mans got to die,
he'd as soon die one place as another.
WHAT'S the use of q man fearing any

from it, but amt afraid to face It."
Don't you believe in future punish
ment?''
At this question he hung his head aud
seemed TO be in deep thought, and when
he spoke it was in h subdued tone and
soft accents: Yes; l believe there is a

for our sins. amt prepared 10 go yet,

Our conversation disclosed the fact
! that naturally the boys nature is not
criminal. He would not commit crime
merely to gloat over his deeds, but he is
very passionate and easily persuaded,
and when once aroused is a perfect des-
parade, reckless, thoughtless and daring.
When he is angered his face becomes
hard and pittiless. His pretended def
aace is merely bravado, and we predict
that he will become very penitent be-
fore he is executed.
THE FEELING IN THE CITY.
There is a general feeling of satisfac-
ton over the course of events. Our peo-
pie as a whole are glad that the prison
or is confined here, and will prove to
the world IN general and Gov. Bate in
particular, that we have as much respect
for law as any community. A few spe-
cial friends of the deceased officers pre-
tend to be very indignant over the term
ity of the authorities in forcing this de-
testable murderer on our community,
but they are not harmful. The prisoner

sTaB;lHG CATTLE IN WINTER.

There was a meeting recently held in
Ohio by the farmers Of a certain dis
trict TO consult upon the proprlety OF
stabling cattle in winter, and the con-
clusion arrived at was that stabiing IN
the most lnclement weather WAS COM
mendab,e, aud it would probably result
such was the belief-in requiring a
less quantity OF food. The farmers OF
West Virginia, in which the weather Is
by no means more than moderately Sc
we're, regard meeting for such purpose
as rather remarkable. We do not be-
lisve that throughout this State there is
a wtll-to.do farmer who does not furn-
lsh ample shelter for his stock, and for
several strong reasons, either one of
which would amply repay ali the cost
of good shelter. First, the humanity
of tho thing; second, the security of
the health of the cattle; third, the adj
ditional production Of butter and milk;
fourth, great economy in feeding, IL
keeping up tie needed animal heat;
fifth, the fine condition in which the
-tCck comes through the winter; sixth,
N every way in which the eXpendlency
Of shelter for cattle in winter can be
presented, the advantages for transcend
any cost in making the provision.
Even in The matter Of stock cattle We
know OF 10 farmer who goes into this
branch OF farming who does not provide
good shedding for them.
The meeting in question makes an
other remarkable suggestion-that
growing animals cannot digest enough
straw in cold weather to keep up heat,
flesh and strength" We should think
not. The farmers of this State would
laugh at the idea of feeding any kind of
stock on straw only. They feed second
crop and meadow hay, corn fodder
chopped, miilet or hungarian gross,
pumpkins, IutaUaSas, and so on. We
