Poultry is King.

That breeding and rearing of
poultry for either fancy, pleas
ure or profit is an exceedingly
profitable business is such an es-
tablished fact that it seems as if
we might useit as one of the
leading industries of our coun-
try ; and yet there is a small ma
'.jority who will confess that it
will not pay to raise poultry.
But such persons fail to look at
the question for a moment to
see if it is true. Consult the
statistical records of products
for the past year, aud you will
find that the amount of cotton
raised was valued at $41O,OOO,-
600; hay $436, OOO, 900; dairy
products, 1854 900, 900; wheat,
S488, 900, 900 poultry and
poultry products, $500, 0OO,-
900, an amount of the latter
over the largest of all other pro-
duets, S72, 100000 Some peo-
pie seem to think that the poul-
try business is "small potatoes"
to use a slang pharse-that it is
adapted to invalids and women,
and it is beneath the dignity of
a gentleman to engage in it.
This conduct on their part only
shows their ignorance of the
growing industries of the age,
as the above figures prove

Sir Walter Scott to his Son.

/ cannot too much impress
upon your mind that labor is
the condition which God has
imposed upon us in every sta
ton of life.
There is nothin@ worth hav-
ing that can be had without it,
from the bread which the peas

rich man must get rid of his
ennu3. Is Y "
As for knowledge, it can no
more be planted in the human
mind without labor than d field
of wheat can be produced with
out the previous use OF the
plough,
There is, indeed, this great
difference, that chance Or cir
cumstances may so cause it that
another shall reap what the
farmer sows; but no man can
be deprived, whether by acct
dent or misfortune, of the fruits
of his own studies : and the
liberal and extended acquisitions
of knowledge which he makes
are all for his own use.
Labor, therefore, my dear
boy, and improve the time. In
youth our steps are light, and
our minds are ductile, and
knowledge is easily laid up; but
if we neglect our spring our
summers will be useless and
contemplate, our harvests will
be chaff, and the winter of our
old age unexpected and desc

Fearing that the French would
aid the Confederacy andhe would
be captured and punished as a
deserter, he deserted his New
York company and enlisted un-
der an assumed name in the
Ohio infantry. In the original
command he was still accounted
for, aud was finally reported as
taken prisoner. In the NEAL
time he served out his time in
the Buckeye company. was dis
charged aud came to this city.
About four years ago he applied
for a pension, giving his name
as Carman. The claim was pi-
g%eonholed until a few days ago,
when a special agent dropped in
to investigate the case, and
made the following revelations:
Fred, Roellinger, of New York,
is drawing a pension as the de-
pendent father of Jacob Roellin-
ger, who it is alleged died at
Andersonville. Another man
claiming to be Roellinger drew
his back pay and bounty and
went to Europe, while u third
named Cassidy is drawing q pen
sion in his own name in one
place aud Jacob Rollinger in an
other /; still fourth representing
himself TO. be Roellinger made
an application but was appre-
hended and sent to the peniten-
tlary, while a fifth application is
now on file at the department
for the alleged widow of the sol
der in question. Notwithstand-
ing all these complications the
case is now in "a fair way to be
cleared up, when the rightful
soldier will receive his dues.
