WASHINGTON, September 22--The

is that of a man who claims bounty

Just before he reached the camp he was
captured aud made prisoner OF war,
taken TO Confederate prison and de-
tanned as prisoner until few weeks
before the end Of the war, when he got

name to the muster roll back to 1868.

The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1885-08-27

A case of too much retribution
comes from Milan, Indiana. A young
man named Hamilton married girl
named Murray, and began to whip
her, after living with her few days.
The girls father and brothers got
drunk, went to Hamilton's house, and
beat him nearly to death with clubs.
The wretch succeeded in breaking
away from them and running for his
life. There were some mistakes on
the part of the old man and the boys.
They should not have become intoxi-
Gated; they should not have beaten
the brute nearly to death; but they
should have taken some good hickory
wythes and literally worn them out
on him. The man who will beat his
wife is worse than a wild beast, and
deserves nothing but cruel treatment
himself. The excuse that the woman
is to blame will not do. If woman
be of such character that husband
cannot live with her, he should go
away from her. This would be
manly, but to beat her would be brutal
1t will be grand day when the whip
ping-post shall have been established
in every State in the Union, for the
benefit of such cattle as the wife-beat-

In consequence Of the improved
modes of manufacturing recently in
troduced, the business Of dairying has
rapidly expanded. 1t is believed,
however, not to have reached the enor-
nous magnitude some writer's, who
have taken it for granted the national
census Of 1870 was greatly at fault
There can hardly be doubt that in
accuracies of greater or less magni-
tude always creep into statistics Of the
census marshals, but they are as like
ly to vary one way as another, and in
the aggregate they give good ap-
pronunciation to the truth. In re-
gard to the statistics of the dairy it is
certainly very easy matter for mar
shals to get, very near the exact num-
Der of cows in the country. Just as
easy it seems to me as to get the pop
ulation, so [ think we may assume
the item correct. The total for 1870
is put down at $685. .232. The
amount Of butter at 514,092,683 lbs.
This at the rate Of 100 lbs. to the COW,
which for the whole u. S. is fair
estimate, would use the milk of s.
140,926 cows; 162,929, 1872 lbs. of
cheese at $50 lbs. to the COW would
use the milk of 651, 100 cows, 1885,
500,599 gallons sold of 809, 1856; Make
ing a total Of 6,601,92
Subtraeting the whole number of
cows we have 1888, All cows to sup
ply the home consumption Of the
Farmers who produce milk, including
their families and the help employed
by them, which make up near one
third Of the population Of the country.
In 1870 our exports were 7-16 of
our total product of cheese, and our
home consumption GIG. lie we sup
pose our home consumption has in
creased at the same rate as our ex-
port trade, it would make a present
home consumption Of cheese of 112,-
725,605 lbs, and a total product of
204, ,446, ,555 pounds. Owing to an in
creased area Of dairying in the west,
the consumption of cheese in the
west and south, where most of the
western cheese find a market, has
been largely increased. Allowing
twenty millions for the extra increase
OF home consumption it will give. US,
in round numbers, total annual pro-
duct of cheese at present of 225, ,0O0,-
900 pounds, which cannot be far from
the truth.
Increasing the butter product at the
same rate as that Of cheese, we have
TO millions as the present annual
product Of butter. Unless the in
crease of COWS since 1870 has been
vastly greater than in any equal period
in the past, the present number can
not vary much from ten millions, the
annual products Of which would cor
respond closely to the above figures
