WHERE THE LAUGH CANE IN.-Bunce
and Sizer's farms adi Joined each other Sizer
had an unruly sheep which was in the
habit Of getting into Bunce's field. Bunce
expostulated with Sizer several times. and
then told him IL he did not keep his sheep
at home, he would fix him so he wouldn't
Jump any more fences But Bunce soon
found the sheep back again so he caught
him. and with a knife severed the cuticle
or skin just beyond the gsmbriel joint,
and between the main cord and bone. then
thrust the other hind leg through the
aperture, and then put the sheep back
over the fence, which went off hobbling
on three legs.


Sizcrsoon after discovered the sad plight
his sheep was in, and he knew very well
who was the cause oft, but he concluded
to take things Coolly, and await some suita-
ble opportunity to revenge himself
Presently. Buncc's old sow broke into
| Sizer's field, when he caught her, and with
a sharp knife cut her mouth almost from
ear to ear, and turned her back.
When Bunce discovered this, he went
| TO Sizer's in great rage. and demanded
/ Of him what he did that for. Sizel

WE'LL ALL MEET IN THE MoRNING.-Such
was the exclamation of dying child, says
the Newark Mercury as the red rays of
tbe sunset streamed on him through the
easement. Good bye, papa, good bye,
Mamma has come for me to night; don't
cry, papa! Wen all meet again in the
morning" 1t was as if an angel had spo-
ken TO that father, and his heart grew
lighter under the burden, for something
assured him that his little one had gone
to Him who said Suffer little children to
come unto me- for of such is the kingdom
of heaven" There is something cheer
ful and inspiring to all who are in trouble
in this. .'We'll all meet again in the
morning 1t rouses up the fainting soul
like trumpe, blast and frightens away
forever the dark shades thronging the av-
enues of purer life. Clouds may gather
upon our paths-disappointments gather
around US like an amy with banners, but
all this cannot destroy the hope within Us,
if we have this motto upon our lips, IAN
will be right in the morning"

reciprocate the sentiments Of the Ledger
when it SAYS that General MoRRIs is con-
fessedly the best sonC-writer of his time
"a most rare and honorable distinction,
for as yet the world has produced but few
good song-writers. To be able to write a
good song one that will live and that the
people ciH sing, a man must possess those
rare powers which enable him to pour
forth his emotions in melodious verse,
musical as the warbling Of birds. In all
this General MORRIS excels. He has that
indescribable gift which enables its pos
SCISSOR to throw halo of beauty and
splendor around the most common, every

MELTED To DEATH-James DOYLE,
blacksmith by trade, died in Chicago last
Friday week, under the following circum-
stances: He was an extremely athleticp per-
son in appearance, and was considered by
his fellow workmen as possessing re-
markable degree of strength and bodily
vigor. On Thursday he worked in the
shop as usual until six o'clock. when he
went to supper in as good health as usual


After supper he complained of extreme
heat, and confined to complain until twelve
o'clock, when he went to bed. At three
o'clock in the morning his roommate
awoke and found him breathing his last.
A post mortem examination revealed no
unusual appearance of the body, except a
remarkable and unsual quantity of adipose
matter. BY Overwork and the heat of
the day he was literally melted dorm. The
coroner jury found this 10 be the cause OF
his death.

A young French officer thus writes Of his
experience in battle


"Our officer kept us back, for we were
not numerous enough to charge upon the
enemy. This was, moreover, most prudent
rs this murderous ire-so fatal TO the white
coats-did us but little harm. Our concal
balls penetrated their dense masses, while
those of the Ausirians whstled past our ears
and respected our persons. 1t was the first
time had faced fire, nor was the only one.
Well | am satisfied with myself. True l
lodged the first balls, but Henry the Nv, they
say, did the same thing at the beginning of
every battle. 1t is in fact physical effect
Independent OF the will.


But this tribute paid, if you could only feel
how each shot electri6es you. 1t is like
whip on racers leg. The balls whistle
past you, turn up the earth droundyou, Kill
one, wound another, and you hardly notice
them. You grow intoxicated, the smell o
gunpowder mounts to your brain. The eyes
become bloodehot, and the look is fixed up
on the enemy. There is something of oil
the passions in that terrible passion excited
in soldier by the sigkt Of blood and the tu
mutt of battle. ,


Everybody who has tried it testifes to th'
peculiar intoxication that is produced by be
ing in a battle. There is an infatuatlng in
auence about the smell Of powder, the shril
whistle of bullet, and the sight Of human
blood, that instantly transform men from
towards to heroes-from women sometime
to monsters. None can tell Of the nature o
mystery of the influence but those who hav
been in the fray themselves"

Is, we believe, a favorite maxim of the
Emperor of the French. 1t is good
saying and still better belief. And as
you and we, dear readers, hope to do
some good work before we die, suppose
you join us, at the close of our weekly
converse, in repetition of the following
beautiful verses upon. this subject:
Let Azrel& come at early morn,


When the day is just begun;


Or come ut the evenings cosc;-a man
Dies not till his work is done.


Let his name be sung in mablc halls
BY fame in her loudcst tone.


Or let him dwell in the Paupcrs hut
uncared for aud all unknown.


Or let him fight for Truth and the Right,
And die as hero dies,


And live again in the hearts of men,
As saints to their Heaven arise.


Or let him strive in the Wrong to hide,
With Errors dark cloud Truths sun,
The avenging sword suspends its blow;
He lives till his work is done.


Then sorrow not for the budding rose,
Deaths frost has withcrcd soon,


And grievc ye not for the ripcncd stalk
Which the reaper cut at noon.


And rcmbe not Mt the cannon's roar,
Though thousands around you fall;
Nor fear the breath of the vcnomed plague
When You go at Duty's call.


And fearlcssly 60 mid the Arctic cold,
And heat of the Southern Sun;


For the might of Death can near prevail
Der man, till his work is done.


And the man lives long who does his best
For those whom he dwells among;
But he who lives for an hundred years
If he does no good, dies young.

The New York Herald says the Re-
publican State Convention of New York,
which met a few days ago and nominated
a State ticket, did not dare to mention
the name of w. II. Seward. The wand
of the arch enchanter had lost its pow
er, and his friends found themselves in
such a position that they were necessarily
dumb. 1t appears that the magic of his
name is also gone in New Jersey. A cor
respondent of the Herald, writing from
Trenton, and giving an account of the
Republican and American Conventions
there, makes the following remarks about
the nominee for Governor, and the wane
of Sewardism:


The nomination of Oldcn, looking at it
in national point of view, is a decided
rebuke to the republican doctrines as ex-
pounded by Senator Seward, and settles
the fact that the orator of Rochester can
not count upon New Jersey Us support
er of his ''irrepressible conflict" doctrine.
The only way that the New York Senator
can obtain any delegates to the National
Convention for him from this State will
be by holding midnight caucuses in barns,
outhouses and other out of the way
places, where the rank and file of the
Opposition camp will not knaw anything
of their proceedings. Mr.. Olden being
a politician of the Clay and Freleinglfuy-
sen school, and being considered as en-
bodying the true sentiments of the OPP
position forces in New Jersey, it can be
readily seen that Seward has no reason to
look for any favors from this State.


1t is to be hoped that as Sewardism
goes down, conservatism will rise and
take its place.

Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,


Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb


Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious


Headache, and Bilious Feyers, indeed


for the whole class Of diseases origi-


mating in hillary arrangement, caused


BY the Malaria Of miasmatic countries.


No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it win eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.


That which protects from or prevents this

better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this baleful distcmper. This "CURE" expels
the miamatic poison of FEVER AND AouE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease If taken ON the first APP
proach Of Its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
q dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AHNE pIeNdliss every Douy sIouiu udSS IL
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces TO quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease


Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout Headache,
Blindness. Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen. Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach,
ell of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This "CURE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fecton, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to rpen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Interrnittents, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy al

MURDER-Ou Monday last, Coroner Bazely
went to Parker's ranch, near Bear river, to
hold an iquest on the body of man who was
found dead in the road, the day before. A
man named Whaley started out on Sunday
morning, after his cows. and saw the body ly-
ing in the road, bnt being covered up with
blankets he supposed the man was asleep. On
returning with his cows, Whaley had got in
company with another man, and when near the
spot where the body was discovered the COWS
commenced believing, which led the men TO
suppose that the animals smellcd blood. They
then took the blankets off the body and found
the man had been murdered lie had been shot
In the pit of the stomach, probably with shot
gun. the muZzle of which must have been
placed near his body, as his clothing was burn
cd and the wad was found in the wound. The
only other marks of violence was on his neck,
where the prints of fingers were sill visible.
When found. the body was warm, showing that
he had been dead but a short time. The man
was evidently disguised. He had on fine new
suit of clothes, over which he wore an old coat,
and pair of greasy overalls, giving him
roueh appearance. His hands we're white and
delicate, showing that he was unused to work.
He had on a pair of unsoiled kid gloves, and
under him was a buckskin glove which is sup
posed to have been pulled off the hand of the
man that tucked the blanket around the body.
On the waistband of his drawers were the let
ters III. L." marked with indellible ink. A
plain gold ring was on one finger of his left
hand. and on the back of his right hand was q
bad scar. He also had on powder flask and
shot pouch.


About three o'clock. on Sunday morning,
three men came to the ranch of Mr.. Sheppard,
ubo lives short distance this side of Parker s
ranch. and made noise that walked him. lie
went out on the piazza, and saw the three men
leaving the house, one of whom turned and
threw a rock at him. They left in the dlrec-
tion OF where the body was found. A little al
ter daylight, the same morning, two men were
seen short distance beyond where the man
was murdered, one of whom had gun. IL Is
supposed that the three men seen by Mr.. Shep
psrd, we're robbers, and that two of them mur
dered their companion. The two men were
seen in different places during Sunday, and on
Sunday night several robberies we're committed
in the neighborhood.

During the past stvo years the peach crop
has been an entire failure both in quantity
and quality, and large peach orchards in
various sections Of our eoantfy, once yield
ing good and abundant crops. are now blast
ed and barren. a discovery which would
restore this luscious fruit bearer to its for
mer vis,or and fruitlessness would be of in
calculable importance. At this season of
the year-entering upon spring-we urge
our horticulturists to give this subject that
attention which it deserves.


As peach trees blossom early in the sea
son, they are subject to injury from late
frosts; this was the case in many districts
in 1853. Dwarf trees may be protected
from such frosts by netting laid over them,
but il would be too expensive thus to COW
er large trees. The small green-fy and
and Inildeg often attack peach trees. and
very few persons ever try to remedy this
evil, although tobacco and sulphur water is
perfect cure. Take pound of tobacco,
and pour Eve gallons of boiling water upon
it. peoraf the clear. and stir in two pounds
OF uiphur. When cool, apply it to the
trees with syrenge or garden engine in
the evening. then shower the trees next
morning with soft water. Such applica-
tioions may be required twice a week for
three weeks before the cure is fully effected;
BY perseverance the desired result will be
secured. Most farmers seem to act upon
the principle that il their fruit trees do not
take care of themselves, they may die if
they choose. This is not the feeling. for
cultivating peach trees. at least. Some
strenuous efforts should be made to restore
this tree to the condition and character
which it once possessed.-ScientJfc Anser-
