old women who live in cottages,. know
better how to rear chickens than any
other persons; they are more successful,
and this may be traced to the fact that
they keep but few fowls, and these fowls
are allowed to run freely in the house, to
roll in the ashes, to approach the fire,
and to pick up any crumbs or eatable
mor'scls they may find on the ground,
and are nursed xitlf the greatest

as many eggs in two years as she would
under ordinary circumstances in three;

that a fowl fatted at two years old, is
much more •tender :aid palatable than
one that is older."

PREPARATION FOR LEATHER.
The Shoe and Leather Reporter trans
latea from the Gerber Courier, the follow-•
ing recipe for a preparation which is said
to be excellent for boots, harness leather,
and belting, giving pliability, softn6es,
and congequent durability : Melt 7 enures
of lard, add 1 ounce rosin, and stir well
together when both are melted, In
another vessel dissolve 3/ ounces of good
hard soap in a quart (or 21 pounds) of
clean rain water. When dissolved and
heated to the boiling point add the' pre
pared lard and rosin, boil gently a few
minutes, and it is ready for applition.
The preparation is easily and ch aply
made, and will doubtless render the
leather pliable, even If it does not 'turn
water, of which we are in doubt,

Mr. Joshua Mutter, of Emmittiburg
District, in this county, informed 'us a
few days ago, that he planted a single
grain of Italian Oats in his garden in
1863, which yielded Will 278 grains. He
continued to plant the product each
succeeding year, and in 1866 raised the
extraordinary quantity of twenty-eight
bushels and one peck from that single
grain. alr. Motter describes this oats as

wealthy planter, had offered a gross in

had threatened to chastise him for the
outrage, when Hopkins went to El lit>on's
house and shot him in his own door.—
The murderer was arrested and bailed to
answer the charge. This occurrence pro
duced great excitement, and Hopkins, in
order to turn the tide of public indigna
tion, had 'circulated reports against her
character, and she sued him for slander.

The interest became deeper when it
was known that Ashley and Pike, of Ar

ed to defend Hopkins.
Hopkins was acquitted. The Texas
lawyers were overwhelmed by, their op

giants.
The slander snit was for the 10th, and
the throng of speetatorsgrew in numbers
as in excitement. Public opinion was set

advocates. When the slander ease was

" Have yon no counsel ?" inquired
Judge Mill,, looking kindly at the plain
tiff:
"No, sir; they have all deserted me,
and I am too poor to employ ally nfore,"
replied the beautiful 3lzmly, bursting into
tears.
"In such a case, will not some chival

the bar.
The t iirty lawyer , : tvere silent.
"I will, your honor," .will a voice from
the thickest of the crowd, behind the
bar.
At the sound of that voice many start
ea—it wasso unearthly, t:weet and no urn

The first sensation was turned into
laughter when a tall, gaunt, spectrld fig
ure elbowed his way through the crowd,
and placed himself within the bar. llis
clothes looked so shabby that the Court
hesitated to let the case proceed under
his management.
"Has your name been entered on the
rolls of the State:"' demanded the Judge.
"It is immaterial," answered the‘trim
ger, his thin, bloodless lips curling up

he handed the Judge a broad parchment.
The trial went on:
Ile suffered the witnesses to tell their
story. and he allowed the defense to lead

and Pr.intiss. The latter brought the
house down iii chum's, in which the jury
joined.
It was now the stranger's turn. He
raised before the bar, not behind it, and
so near the W4)4duringjliry that he might
touch the foreman with his long, bony
finger. He proceeded to tear 'to pieces
the arguments of Ashley, which melted
away at his touch like frost be tore a sun
beam ; every one looked surpri -ed. Avon
he came to the dazzling wit or the poet
lawyer Pike. Then the curl of his lip
grew sharper, his smooth face began to
kindle up, and his eyes to open, chid no
longer dim, but civil as lightning, rcJ ns
lire globes, and glaring as ineklos. The
whole soul was is the eye; the full heart
streamed out of 1:L face. Then without
an allusion to Prentiss he turned a short
round on the pe;•jure,l witnesses of Hop

and hurled luto their fae;i: , r.rli terlibla
invectives that all trembled like aspen.,

becoming tremendous. Their united life
and soul seemed tehaug upon the burn

long hidden secret of attraction.! But his
greatest triumph was to come.

held up the slanderer to the s •orn and
contempt of the populace. Ha} iv thus

stripped himself to the work of Massacre.
Oh ! then it was a vision hot 111 glorious
