GRASS BURNED. Mr.. j. r. Hos.
mer informs us that the range in
his neighborhood has been almost
completely destroyed by fire. This
grass burning business is evidently
done intentionally, as it occurs
regularly every year, greatly to the
injury Of stockmen, to say nothing
of the trees, fences, and not unfre.
quently houses and barns that are
destroyed by fire communicated to
them through the burning grass.
But the stock owners are the prin-
cipal sufferers, as the range is de-
stroyed for grazing. It wonld per-
hnps be difficult, yet not impossi-
bic. to catch one of the grass burn
ers in the act. and make an exam
pie Of him. The law expressly de-
clares that the burners of grass
must confne the fire to their own
premises. and o heavy penalty is
attached to those who violate this
law. We hope the Grand Jury, in
October, will look into this matter,
and see if it cannot be stopped.

CUTTING

A. K. Cutting was released las
Monday by the Judge of Chihua'
hua. The latter read Cutting tht
decree of the chihuahua Supreme
Court, based on the waving b,
Medina of his rights of damage, OF
which Cutting asked and obtained
a copy, refusing, however, to sign
bis release. On leaving the Judge,
Cutting. accompanied by Consul
Brigham, was brought before the
Mayor of Paso del Norte aud for
mally liberated.
Before boarding the street COR
which was to take him out of the
hospitable land Of God and Liber-
ty, he narrowly escaped rearrest by
a number of Mexican officials who
sought to pick o quarrel with him.
The Mexicans will now enforce
another convenient law against
Cutting, prohibiting him from re-
entering Mexican territory.
On his arrival at Ell Paso, Texas,
Cutting published a lengthy ad-
dress to the people of the United
States, announcing his liberation,
detailing the danger of the lengthy
and exposed frontier line. advert
ing to the claim Mexico yet main
tains to punish American citizens
for ofenses committed on American
soil. and concluding that in conse-
quence Of the cowsrdly hatred Of
Nexicans, American lives and prop
erty will not be safe until the Stars
aud Stripes are again borne from
the border to the Gulf.
Cutting is about to institute suit
for 100000 damages against the
Mexican Government. Danton, the
Mexican Court interpreter, says he
can get $5OO,OO0 if the American
Government remains firm.
Assistant Secretary of State Por-
ter says that Cuttings release does
not alter the state of the case.
Nothing further will be done until
after the receipt of the report Of
Gen. Sedgwick, who is exclusively
charged with its investigation.
The Rasures case is still being

l love the sound of Jesus name,
Great teacher. true and kind;
rom age to age He's still the same,
With mercies uncontined.
He took the children in his arms,
And blest them one by one;
And they may come drawn by his charms
Till time its course hath run.
No times or seasons can de prive
One child os His Leaf love.
The seeds of love will grow and thrive
And bring forth fruit above.
Until that time. the Sunday Schools
Must hold an honord place.
To show the way and teach the rules
To run the Christian race.
We love that h%allowed. happy place.
The counterpart of Heaven.
lis there that Jesus shows his face,
And speaks a child forgiven.

Dear children there may spend;
Grow rich in grace-expand their powers
Until their lives shall end.

Nor least, among them all,
To wear an honored diadem.

An insane colored man. by the
name of Bully Richardson, went to
the residence OF Mr.. Seymour Mey.
ors, q few miles from Covington,
last Sunday night, and demanded
admission. Upon being refused he
became unruly and was arrested
and placed in the parish Jail in
Covington for cafe keeping. he is
decidedly crazy. and in his mad
fits tears of his clothes and breaks
up the furniture in his cell. The
Insane Asylum at jackson has re-
fused to receive him, and he will

PEARL RIVER STATION, LA.,
August p, 1856.
EDITOR Sr. TAMMANY FARMER:
Our town improves slowly.
Messrs. Poitevent & Favre, and the
Northeastern Railroad Co., are
building n depot at the Junction.
The switch has been moved to make
room for the same. There is a
Pavilion at the Station, and for the
last two Sundays there has been
excursion trains running. Large
crowds availed themselves of the
privilege of getting into the coun-
try for a few hours. Two trains
come ont, one at Z A. N. and one at
II A. NJ. The fare is fifty cents for
the round trip. Many think the
trip across the Lake is n grand
treat. Others are afraid. One
lady friend in the city told me she
would not cross the Lake for $500.
Another said she would pat on
some life-preservers and try to
swim it for that much. Leander
swan the Hellespont for love. but
here is a girl who said that she
would swim across the Lake for
money.
The quietness of our town is
somewhat broken by these Sunday
excursions. but they do not disturb
our Sunday School. We have quite
an interesting Sunday School in
our new Church. We named it the
"Sam Small Sunday School," in
honor of the great evangelist. Our
Superintendent, NJ. Enoch Talley,
is sojourning in your city ut pres
ent, and our Assistant. Mr.. Charlie
Talley, has gone to New Orleans to
attend Soule's Commercial College.
So we are without a Superintend-
ent. But the Sam Small Sunday
School is equal to oil emergencies,
and means to 60 ahead, because it
is right. Its name gave it an i'm
petus in the right direction. Apro-
pos Of this subject, ! herewith send

STRAWS.

fail to return Judge Iron to Con
gress would be alike an injustice te
the man who ut the outset did moi
seek the position, and a grave in
jury to the large, intelligent ant
wealthy District which he SO abb,
represents. He has now reached
that point in his Congressional Gu.
reer when be can accomplish great
good. and to remove him by the
nomination of an inexperienced
gentleman is a step that the Con.
vention will hesitate to take. The
North, always SO strong in the
Councils of the nation, obtains that
strength and that superiority
through their efficient Representa-
tives, who are kept in position for
years and years. The result is that
their cities are dotted with mag
niicent public buildings. their ca
mails and rivers maintained at Gov
eminent expense, and the average
Northern legislator is a power in
determining the general legislation
of the country.
The Amite City Gazette says:
Judge lrion. in his address here,
said that this paper desired a man
for Congress from this side of the
river. That is exactly the plank we
+ standing Oh. Not because we
think any man on this side of the
river is better than those on the
other side, nor especially because
he would be from this side, bnt be-
cause il he could not do us any
good il Congress, lie would at least
not vote against our interests and
the principles Of the Democratic
platform as Endorsed by the Chicago
Convention. He should have known
that by casting his vote against the
consideration Of the Morrison bill
he was going directly against the
wishes Of a majority of his constitu-
ents. and in doing so that it would
raise an issue against his renomina-
ton. That in doing SO lie was
voting directly against the interests
of the entire cotton planting dis
trict. The people are in favor of
reform, and every Demo-
cratic Congressman knows it. for
many of them won their election
on that platform.
The Clinton Watchman gives due
to the friends Of the sugar
interests in the coming Sixth Dis
trict Congressional Convention, rs
follows: The same influences we
say prevail in the Sixth District, if
aot SO universally in the Fourth
md Fifth, at least to such a domi-
,ating extent as to compel The next
representative from the Sixth Dis
riot to vote to sustain the admins

We have no authority to voice Mr..

We have very little doubt that he

U FARMERS.
THEIR PRACTICAL, INTEL
LECTUAL AND SOCIAL
CULTURE.

A4ADISoNVlLLE, AA., aug. 20 1000
EDITOR ST.. TAMMANY FARMER:
Fifty years have wrought changes
in this country of such a nature q.
to completely revolutionize on,
farming operations. The situation
calls for a wider education Oh the
part of the farmer. The competi.
ton is SO close that lie must
STUDY THE SCIENCE OF AGRICULTURE,
the use of implements in the prepa.
ration Of his soil, and the value and
influence of fertilizers in the pro.
duction of bic crops. Then, again,
there is an unbounded field fol-
study and observ alton in the rails.
ing of different kinds of stock. To
mcet these great changes, which
time and circumstances have thrust
upon the farmer, there is q positive
demand for o practical education.
On every side the farmer is sur
rounded by objects Of interest.
The forests are clothed with foil
age, the hill sides and meadows are
carpeted with green grass. Earth,
air and water are animate with
living creatures. Natures laws,
many Of them simple Of compre-
hension. some of them hardly inter
preted by our wisest men. are in
