"We believe in Republicanisn /;

are good Republicans who believe
neither in Total Abstinence nor In

which of the Republican candidates
for State Offices are Prohibitionists,
nor that any are; we shall not in

questions relating to Liquor. We
expect to vote for the Republican
candidates in our district for Senate

should be anti Prohibitionists. We
know there are Republicans who are
not Prohibitionists and they shall
have no just cause to complain OF
unfair treatment at our hands. We

would seem that shortly after Mr.. and
Mrs. Buthiere had left their home for
the purpose Of attending the lecture at
the chapel, Gustave proposed to his little
brother, Adelph, that they should play
killing little pig.


In this request, it is supposed, the
unfortunate little fellow acquiesced. The
youngest was to be the pig, the eldest the
butcher. Gustave eagerly assisted his
brother TO undress for the tragedy, and,
taking o small rope, tied hirl down Sc

one, and it is supposed that death must
have immedic.ely resulted After the
child had bled his little lite away, the
unnatural brother, with the most incred-
ible heartlessness, took the cord which
bound the body to the lounge, and, tying
one end around the feet of the corpse,
threw the other over the beam, and, lean
ing his weight on it, hoisted the body into
the position in which it was found then,
not satisfied with the programme thus
far carried out, the little butcher must
needs disembowel his dead brother al
most in the exact manner in which his
father had the pigs the day before. |
mention here that the boy Gustave has
always been considered as possessing
weak intellect, but was thought to be
good hearted and tractable child. What
could have induced him to commit this
fearful crime is beyond our conjecture,
except it be from an unavoidable desire
to initiate his father in killing the pigs.
Since the tragedy, he has seemed to re-
alize, in a certain degree, the fearful
nature of the deed, and cries bitterly
when he sees how unhappy his father
and mother are. AT present he is kept

BY the arrival of the Virginia at this port

RomerO's dispatches make the case rather

1t seems, if these accounts are
to be trusted, that Santa Anna pretended to
have come to Mexico with the forces of the
United States at bis back ; and it may
have been with the purpose OF avoiding
troublesome complications likely to arise
from this pretense that the American
naval commander adopted the unwarrantable
course of taking Santa Anna into custody
and finally sending him out to sea. OF the
outrage at Sisal we have no explana-
ton. The bare fact remains that an un-

The most intense excitement was
caused in this city on Thursday after
noon by an attempt to murder Miss
George Stearns, residing with her pa
rents in the Soule block, Genesee street.
The would-be murderer is young man
named Michael Sullivan, of respectable
appearance, who had formerly boarded
with the family of his victim, and paid
his addresses to the daughter, girl of
eighteen. On Thursday afternoon he
paid visit to the family for the alleged
purpose Of taking leave, proposing to
depart for the West again Immediately.
while there he requested Miss Stearns
TO play the piano for him before parting,
and she accordingly went With him to
the parlor, her mother remaining in the
hack room. Sullivan, Oh entering the
narIor, locked the door, and stepping up
behind the unsuspacting girl, drew a
small seven shooter and fired a shot
which passed downward and backward
into the neck. She fell to the floor with
the shot, when he fired two more shots,
striking her in the face and hand. He
again leveled the weapon, but the moth

AS the season has now arrived in
which it has become necessary to re-
move the stock from their exposed sit
nations in the fields to more comforta-
bic quarters, and to furnish them with
that food and shelter which they are nc
longer able to obtain out-oi-doors,
think that a few words concerning the
management of them while in this stu
alton would not be amiss.


Since there are so many different
kinds of stock, it would be impossible
to give any one rule which would en-
brace the complete management of them
all; still there are some points which
may be observed with advantage in the
care of all kinds.


One of the most important of these
is ,rGrmth, and this is subject of much
more importance than is generally con-
sidered by farmers. l do not mean to
say by this that the stock should be sc
closely confined as to render them ten
der. but that they should have shelter
sufficiently capable of protecting them
from the inclemency of tho weather.


While it is extremely desirous that
we should furnish our stock with good
warm quarters, we should be careful
not to 60 to the other extreme and ex.
clude the air altogether, but should
endeavor to aid the escape of the gases
which emanate from the manure and
the lungs of the animals, by ventilators
and other means.


There is another point to which
would call attention, and which is very
much neglected, and that is cleanliness
Many farmers are in the habit of allow.
ing the manure to remain in the stables
for days together just as it deposited
and the gases arising from this cannot
fail to be otherwise than injurious to
the animals.


The excuse often urged for this is
that they have not time to remove il
each day as it should be done; but
very much doabt the efficacy of this ex
cuse, for at the most it would require
only few minutes each day; but wher
allowed to remain for several days, sc
large an amount has accumulated thai
it requires considerable time to re-
move it.

cleanliness of the stables would also be
greatly increased by suitable draining

The result of the October elections
gave powerful impetus opresidential


Scheming upon paper, and the result Of
the November elections has increased
the motion. The Republicans, over
whelmingly defeated or practically re-
pudiated from Maine to California upon
the square issue of their principles, and
seeing nothing but annihilation before
them in 1868 if they continue to Eight
it ont on that liue," have been COM
PEELED by the law of self-preservation to
abandon the field of principle in the
presidential contest. They now clutch
the skirts of Il single man, in the hope
that his alleged personal popularity,
and his studied rcticence Oh all the
pualic qucstiors of the day, may carry
them through the campaign, and renew
their lease of power and patronage.


1t will be matter of regret, if the
Democrats are 50 short-sighted as to i'm
itate the example of these men follow
ers, and furnish them precisely what
they desire-the grounds for making the
contest one of person rather than of
principle. When the occasion arrives,
the man will be found ready and tiT for
it, Until that time comes, it seems to
US that it would be both patriotic and
polite to leave the candidate making
chiefly to our opponents. If we keep
the vital issues of the approaching
Presidential campaign before the peo-
pie, as We kept those issues before them
during the State campaigns of the pre-
sent year, we will triumph-not through
the popularity or the personal merits of
any man, but by virtue of our princi-
pies, and notwithstanding the vote of
all the negro-ruling States that may be
counted against us. The situation oft his
Government and of this people is such
that the electors now, more than at any
time since the Union was formed, are
alive to the burdens upon them and the
perils surrounding them. Ifnot diverted
from the main point by squabbles about
men, and by schemes designed to subserve
personal interests, they will carry to
completion in 1868 the work so we'll
begun in 1867. The man does not live
who can allure them from duty to the
country and to themselves, if the Demo-
cratic press and Democratic public men

their hands of judiciously conducting
the preliminaries of the coming contest.
