PRESERVING Conn FopDER.-C stalks
when grown to a moderate size only, are
scarcely excelled in value by any other
fodder grown upon our farms.-The evil
dence is abundant, that they will make as
much milk or flesh Us any equal number OF
pounds OF English hay Of the average
quality. When well preserved, horses eat
il with relish. and it seems to answer all
the purposes Of hay for them, when mixed
with their accustomed portion of grain.
We have known all the horses Of a livery
stable fed upon corn fodder through the
winter,-with the same amount of grain
they had when fed on hay, y,-and although
working every day, keep in flesh and spir.
its, and do as we'll as when fed with hay.


This is tho season when corn fodder Is
to be preserved. and 1t becomes all to save
il in as perfect condition as possible, as the
prices or hay will rule very high for ten or
twelve months TO come.


II rs much pains were taken to preserve
corn stalks, as tobacco. growers take TO pre-
serve their crop, every ton Of good corn
fodder raised this year would be Of nearly
equal value with that of a ton Of good
English hay.


II the top stalks are cut and exposed to
the SIN one day, and then hung upon
poles in the barn, they will dry of in a
green and sweet condition. Those stand.
ing out in shocks should not be exposed too
long, but hung up under cover as carly as
possible.-N E. Fdrmr.

CoMIcAL SCENE IN A CHURcH.-On Sab.
bath last, in one of our prominent Broad
Street Churches, the closeness of the atmos.
phere produced an almost irresistible feeling
OF drowsness among many of the congrega-
ton. OF the number who found it impossi.
bic to deny the drowsy god was one of our
most successful business men, whose honest
efforts to throw off the somnific influence he
was under were witnessed by several look
ers-on. Al last he succumbed; his ewes
went shut and failed TO come open again,
and his head began to nod to this and that
neighbor quite lamiliarly. Presently the
sleeper's head slowly bent toward its owners
wife, and continued to sag, sag, sag, in that
direction, until u delicate sprg on my lady's
hat pointed directly into the ear of the
snoozing husband. One more lurch of the
head ON "that line would cause the taper
ing sprig TO enter, and peculiarly affect the
sensitive portion Of that delicate organ, and
several persons in the gallery were giving
breathless attention to the scene, fully
anticipating an extraordinary denouement
when the connection between the ear and
sprig should be effected AT last il came.
the heavy head made another sag wiie-ward
full inch, the sprig passed into the eur as
nicely as il it had been pointed by rogucish
hands, and penetrating to the inner and
most sensitive portion, tickled the nodding
gentleman so intensely that he drew up his
.head with jerk, and striking out with his
right-hand before he was fairly awake, dealt
his wife blow full upon her new bonnet to
the utter discontinue of its flowers and rib
bons, and to the infinite amusement of the
lookers-on in the gallery. But who can des-
cribe the look of inellable sheepishness that
settled upon the face of the late sleeper,
when he became fully conscious of the ri
diculousness of his position. Wife looked
savage, in evident inward contemplation of
the damaged bonnet, and both were seen
fastening home after service by way of a
back street. We wouldn't have had the

The President yesterday sent Message to
the Senate, in reply to the inquiry Of that body


why jefferson Davis is confined and why he Is
not brought to trial. The Message covers re-
ports from the Secretary of War and the Attor-
ey-General, and does not otherwise respond to
the Senate resolution except by referring to the
annual Message of the President. The Secre-
tary Of War explains that Jefferson Davis is held
on charges of treason, Of melting the assassina-
ton OF Abraham Lincoln, and Of starving Union
prisoners of war; that the President desired to
have him first tried for treason, and that the
Attorney General advised Virginia as the most
proper place for such trial, but that the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court declines to hold
court within the limits of that circuit. The
Attorney General states the substance OF the
opinion heretofore given by him to the Presi-
dent, and there the matter is left.

The Erening Post cannot escape by qulbblc
from the logical consequences of its new atti-
tude. We do trust in the Constitutional
Amendment prohibiting Slavery; but that
Amendment is itself in direct conflict with The
Posts present doctrine II The Post were right
in its fundamental proposition, then the Amend
ment would be not merely usurpation but a
nullity; for we all know that the assent to it OF
what The Post terms Il" the people" of the Cot
ton States is reluctant and constrained. Their
extremity, not their will, consents to ratify;
and if The Post be correct, We had no right to
require them to ratify. And this will be pleaded
in favor of new attempts TO reduce the Blacks
to Slavery, if we agree to Z" restoration" based
on the present ideas Of The Post.


The simple truth is that The Post is, like

ing itself for readmission into the Democratic

Tie Boston Journal of March % gives the
following version Of the arrest Of for the recent
robbery Of Mr.. Rufus l.. Lords Office in th,s city.


A week aco last Monday. Marshal Wcscoit accom-
panied by Detectives Poor and Donshea o the United
States Marshals Office Of New York. stepped aboard
the train for Boston, and when some twelve miles from
that city they arrested on board Of the cars man who

The arrest was KEEP, quiet, and instead of bringing hm

got out twelve miles from this city. and on
by private conveyance and Brown then conveyed

One Of the most distressing and awful
accidents we have lately heard Of occur
red on Monday evening at Lafayette,
a town about four miles north ofLondOn,
Ohio. Mr.. Christopher Martin, who re-
sides at that place, had returned home
from this city, and his wife, at about
seven o'clock, set about preparing his
supper AS the fire was slow in kindling,
she took can of coal oil and poured
some oil upon the fire to make it burn
more rapidly. The can suddenly ex,
ploded, covering her person with oil, and
setting fire to her clothing.


Mr.. Martin was at the time out of
doors in the yard. His wife, with the
flames wrapping her person, and rising
above her head, ran out of the house,
imploring him to get blanket and
wrap it round her He procured the
blanket as sson as possible, and folded it
round her, and threw water upon her in
large quantities; but all did not suffice
to save the unfortunate woman. She was
so dreadfully burned that the flesh lit
orally dropped from her feet and other
parts of her body. She lived about
three hours, when death came and put
an end to her sufferings.
