execution.
Seeing this. the officer in charge of the

Captain's desire that he should board her

Capt. Waddcil ordered the boat back to

many prisoners as could be conveniently
accommodated.
Another OF the number, the Nile. was
also ransomed as transport for the rt
manning prisoners. and when these ha d
received their passengers, the remainder Sf
the captured vessels were set on fire.
The following are the names Of the ves-

the gallant whaling fleet.

We fancied we could see the varied ex-
preSSinns of anger. disappointment, fear.

multitude on those decks, as their eyes
rested on this last great holocaust; and
y nen. one by one, the burning hu!ks went
kissing and gurgling down into the treach-
erOus bosom of the ocean, the last act in
the bloody drama of the American civil
war had bean played. Widely different
were the arenas that witnessed the open
ing and concluding scenes. The overture
was played by the thunder of artillery be-
meath the walls Of Sumter, with the
breath of April tanning the cheeks of
those who acted there their parts, while
all the world looked on; the curtain finally
fell amid the drifting ice Of the Arctic
Seas: burning vessels formed a pyrotechnic
display such as the children of men have
seldom looked upon, while a grim and
silent cruiser that had. even then, no Gov
ernment nor country, and two weather
beaten whalers. filed with despondent
prisoners were the only audience.
NEWS FROM THE STATES.

tained the first news from the States We
had received for many months. She had
San Francisco papers bearing date of
April 10. and containing intelligence of the
assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
The revs occasioned a general feeling
of astonishment and Indignation through
out the Shenandoah.

Green Food for Winter Layers.

1t is absolutely essential that
hens should have some kind of
green food during the winter
months.
Aside from the food that sus-
tains the physical form, a bulky
kind is necessary, and this is
supplied by green food, or clover
hay.
A succession of grains followed
by vegetables will round out the
months when natural 0 vegeta.
ton is not possible.
Oats sCwed in August or Sep
TENDER will serve for the month
OF November, while rye sowed at
the same time will furnish the
green food until February or
March. Oftimes when snow COW
ers the ground or rain prevents
their going out doors, vegetables
should be given them-cabbage,
beets, potatoes and turnips will
all be relished and can be had at
practically no cost.
Clover hay is very good for
hens and should be given them
at least twice a week.
Cut it in inch lengths and scald
with boiling hot water and stir
IN corn meal and shorts to make
a crumbly mess. When cool
iced to the hens, but never until
late in the evening. Let the full
meal be given after the days
