Farm, Harden and Household. Philosophy of Coofcery. Mr*. Hale says: Cookery is an art belonging to woman's department of knowledge ; its importance can hardly l>e overestimated, because it acta di rectly on human health, comfort and improvement. One of the first duties of woman in domestic life is to under stand the quality of provisions and the preparation of wholesome food. The powers of the mind as well as those of the body are greatly dependent on what we eat ami drink. The stomach must tie in health or the brain eannot aet with its ntmoat vigor and elearneaa, nor can there be strength of muscle to per form the purposes of the will. To preserve the full nourishment of meats and other articles of food, ill dressing and cooking, is an art which requires a large amount of scientific knowledge added to long experience and observat ion. Without the knowl edge derived from this twofold source a great part of food is wasted and health injured. It is an established priueiple in physiology, that man is omnivorous —that is, constituted to eat almost every kind of food containing nourish ment. He can eat and digest them in a raw state ; but his health is promoted by their being cooked, that ia, softened by the aetion of fire and water. MKATS.— The best roasting piece of beef is the sirloiu ; then rib roast; then ramp of beef. Reef is much better to lie hung up a few days, which makes it more tender. It should be washed and wiped lief ore dressing. Twenty minntes of time to each pound of meal ia a good rnle for roasting. Rut boiling water into the meat pan, and have the oven quite hot when it is put in to roast, or otherwise it will be drv and tough. When nearlv done, salt, flour and baste it from the dripping pan ; not before. BROIUKD Smx. —To have tender broiled steak is a very difficult thing. The longer it is kept hung up, without taiut, the better. Ten or fifteen minutes ia sufficient time for cooking steak. Butter, rait and pepper after it is done. Good, fat, stall fed beef makes the beet steak. MrrTOJt.—Mutton is beet from Au gust till January, but is much improved bv being fed on root* and grain. Cook it well done. It ia better after being kept several day*. The hind quarter or nauuoh is best for roasting. The leg is good for boiling ; put it into boiling water ; save the liquor for soup. BROH-KP Rxxr.—The "nest piece is the round, the next best the edge-bone. Put it into boiling water, otherwise it will lose all it* juiciness. Ten pound* of beef will require three hour* or more Ol UOUlU|£, LAMB.— Lamb should be roasted until the gravy that drops is white ; the lore quarters are the best for a roast; the leg is good broiled or roasted ; two hoars will roast the fore quarters well ! VKXISON. This is the most easily digested of all meats. It shonld be kept for a fortnight after it is killed to be tender. A haunch of twelve pounds will be well roasted in four hours. Baste with cnua. The Old llar<. Bow about the old horse ? What is to be done with him ? Or, what is to be done with a horse that is growing old ? These are hard questions for a humane and moderately circumstanced farmer to answer. There can be noth ing wrong in disposing of a horse ten years old, having considerable good work in him ; but how old and feeble should he be before it would seem wrong to get rid o! him ? If one has an old horse and he cannot well be kept, the best way is to find some hu mane farmer who will take him for what be is worth and agree to keep him so long as he lives. But, if possible, he shoal 1 be kept on the place and be fed and cared for, in part for the good he has done : and he will be nseful for the women and children to drive, because his way* are understood—and he really has valid chums to a living from the farm. A humane man will be certain to have a calm and reflecting mind, and snch a mind will d' vise ways for keep-1 ing a horse or worn-out animal which a cold and cruel mind would not think of, so that nothiug would be lost. De pend upon it that kindness and hu manity lead to acute thinking and en larged mental powers, because they are rignt, and wlat is right a ingenious and intellectual. What Alls the Sheep Want of liberty. Half a century with at one time eleven hundred sheep in my charge, never gave me an ac quaintance with any sheep that would cloy on any kind of roots like potatoes. >ats, too. eat -from fifteen pounds to twenty-five pounds of roots per day, and a pint of oats and a half pint of corn and hay be sides, and they will pay for it. Look at Mr. Mechi's SSO each, and there are thousands of as good stock farmers as that gentleman. I was in Western New York some years since and had a flock of ewes, 310, which had not raised 100 lambs the year before, and about sixty ewes had * died. They hsd been confined in sheds at night, and yards all day for the whole winter. When I took charge of them they went ont in the fields every day all winter—all day when fine, for three or four hours it ever so rough. They had 350 lambs and only one ewe died, besides that, there was accidentally one drowned. So says a writer in the Country Gentle m an. Value of Wood Led. The Canada Farmer says : " Time was when the wooded part of a farm was considered the least valuable, and was well nigh regarded of no account until cleared Now the opposite con dition of affairs is fast coming to be ac cepted as the true state of the case. Partially cleared farms are bought with the timber estimated as a most impor tant item in the purchase account. Bush laud is no longer a drug in the market. Most of it is either already within such easy access by railroad, or it is expected soon will be, that pro prietors are figuring up the profits cf cord wood, and buyers are doing the same. The consumption of wood as fnel by locomotives, makes a steady, enormous drain on onr forest resources. Already the price of oordwood in our towns and villages has reached what were city rates five or ten years ago. As wood becomes more scarce, its value will go np, until it reaches the coal standard, and that is likely to be raised, from the large demand made for it in manufacturing and railroading." Time to Cut Timber. Dr. Hartwig, who has made numer ous experiments to determine the point, states that March and April are the best months in which to cut timber for building purposes, as it then contains its lowest per cent of moisture, which he states to be forty-seven per cent. Dur ing the three previous months it has fifty-one per cent., and in the three following ones forty-eight. He further states that properly seasoned timber should not contain more thaD 20 to 25 per cent, of moisture, and never less than 10 per cent. If the moisture is removed to a still greater extent the wood loses its strength and becomes brittle. An English authority states that if trees are felled as soon as they Are in full leaf, and allowed to remain undisturbed nntil the leaves dry up and fall off, the timber will be found well seasoned, the leaves having exhausted all the moisture in the wood. Apple Borer. A correspondent thinks that the rem edy frequently recommended of heap ing lime and ashes about the roots to exclude the borer owes its efficacy, if it possesses any, to the necessary removal of the grass and weeds which grow about the tree and afford a shelter to the insects when depositing their eggs, as uncultivated or weedy trees 'are al ways most liable to be attacked. He adheres to the old remedy of digging out the insects with the point of a knife when newly hatched or punching them in the holes when of longer duration, and the preventive of encasing the foot of the tree in tarred or sheathing pa per, aooording to the modes we have oc casionally described.

The settlement of this continent by Europeans brought ont phase* of life which never occurred lieforo, and can hardly exist again. Many a pleasing romance has anuk from our view in the waters of oblivion ; only hero and there, like Ararats above the flood, brief pas sages, startling in tlieir suggestiveneas, are still occasionally hi bo lighted upon by the broixlttig doves of the imagina tion. lu this simple sketch I propose to relate some passage* in the life of a personage who played an important part in our early history. Whatever of that life ia covered 1 shall ut protend to reveal; but the imaginative reader has Rill liberty to reconstruct from tne (act* hero made known what must have been s romsrkable career. It was in 1723 that a ship laden with merchandise, and bearing also a goodly uuniber of emigrants, left Cork, iu Ire land, for the shores of New F-uglaud. Though a continent was to lie settled, emigrants were not so numerous as at ? resent; Tet, among those who came, reland, then aa now. furnished its pro portionate share : and in general they were a class equal to the best who have sought our shores front the tlroeu Isle in later years. Waude'ing lonely among the gossip i ing groups on deck w*s a man of supe rior appearance to the others, both in manner and figure. lie held no con versation with anr, further than brief ' hqt courteous replies to some question i or remark concerning the voyage, the i rare sight of a sea-bird in mid-ocean, or the wide, the vast, the awe-tuspirxng j sea itself, beating unceasingly yeasty waves along the curving bows of the i sturdy vessel. His dross, his carriage, his preoccupied look, forbade famili arity. while his entire nnacquaintanoe with the other passengers indicated that the voyage had been undertaken for some pressing purpose and in much sorrow. It will not be foreign to our subject if we delay the narrative a moment longer to "relate his painful storv. He was a member of an ancient and ' worthy family of the Irish gcutrr, a native of Limerick, whither he liad been recalled from his studies on the , contineut a few years before. Left alone by her other sons, who had joiued the armies in one conntry or another, hia widowed mother do-trod that John, who was more given to study and quiet than the others, should remain with her at home until, at least, the present ' commotion had passed. But children always will be doing something not ap proved by the parent; so John, not to be an exception, fell in love with a yonug woman somewhat below his rank, and, honorable man, so he was, desired to marry her. His mother was so bitterly opposed to the match that she not only refused her consent, but declared that if he married the girl he should never have any portion of the estate. This threat, if persisted in, wonld effectually prevent the marriage, as the girl's relations would not consent to her union with a penniless man. Neither were the lovers able of them selves to commence life without the aid ; of their families ; for he had not been j traiued to any profession or occupation, and he knew not how he oonld make even hia own living. "Mother," re plied he, with passion, "if you do not withdraw that threat and consent to my marriage with the lady of my choice, I will go where you shall never see me again." His mother persisted in her purpose. ' Pale and trembling, he besought her to take till to-morrow to consider. The next day the cruel woman repeated the threat. At the evening meal John was miss ing ; in the morning his bed was found to hare been unoccupied ; and from that day his native oouutry saw him no more. Instead, however, of seeking surcease of sorrow in the world of spirits by an easy leap into the friendly waves of the Shannon, as others might have done, he projected himself upon the unknown regions in the present state of being ; thereby showing that there was an an- Psiogtii*bed spark of health within him still. With heavy sorrow at heart, it is njt strange that he sat apart, wrapped in ' silent gloom, or paced the deck unre gardful of the babble of the light heart ed emigrants. Self-expatriated, with out hope or interest in the future, and in the recent past a great pain which j smothered all pleasant recollections, there eonld be nothing in common be tween him and the moving forms who stared at him askance, save the nsual matters of physical sustenance and com fort ; and even in these the conditions of his life had caused a wide difference of feeling. One person alone attracted his frequent attention, as her bright blue eye caught his own, or his esr was arrested by her cooing and prattling to the several babies on board, her musi cal snatches of song, or her sweetly Elaintive voice, when the loneliness of er situation, and the recollection of friends she had left behind, seised upon her thoughts. John had watched her with some in terest, partly, perhaps, for her beauty, but chiefly for her peculiar relation or, rather, un-relation, to my on board. Seeming at first, like himself, a stranger to the others, she was soon mingling freely and familiarly with every family in the ship ; yet he was unable, watch ing with increased interest, to discover any relation or connection whatever, other than the most casual, between the girl and any family or individual in the vessel. She, also, marked his lone liness, and seemed to be affected by his evident sorrow ; and one day she bold ly put herself in biß way with some trifling question. Yet her demeanor was modest and in her eye, of the hue of I the skv where it meets with the sea flashed forth no unholy gleam. Brown, hair, a clear complexion, with especial ly rosy cheeks, and a graceful figure, made this girl of nine years more at tractive to the beauty-loving eye thah any other on board—though present ing the attractions of more dfvelojped forms and conscious womanly feeling. A brief conversation showed that the girl was without a relation or fiiend on | beard. Surprised at this fact the young man j inquired, half-earnest, half in sport: " What can yon expect to do by go ! ing over to America ?" "Do? why, raise governors for ; them," was the instant, laughing an swer. What could have indnoed the girl to have left home and friends with no bet ter defined purpose than indicated by this reply was s mystery. She did not have theenthnsiasm for the new conn try needful to set even an adventnronn j boy upon so wild an enterprise as cross ing the thousands of miles of sea, to reach a cold climate and an uncultured shore. Subsequent years, however, furnished a possible explanation of the mystery. During the remainder of the voyage there was a growing intimacy between the young man and the light hearted girl, whose beauty attracted, and wit amused him, winning his mind from brooding so darkly over his woes. The vessel, from design or stress of weather, made port at York, in Maine. Here other strange facts wen de veloped. The girl—whose name was Mar g&ret Brown—had no means to pay for her passage, and it was necessary that some one shonid pay for her, or she would have to be indentured—sold to service for a sufficient time to reim bnrse the person who should advanoe the passage money. This was accord ing to a law existing and needful in those times ; and through most of our oolonial period there were many, both of black and white, held in temporary bondage. It u, of course, to lie ex pected tlivt the young gentleman who had lieen BO much entertained by the girl during the nasaage should with to relieve her in this difficulty, and there was none else ibltordUpowil to render •noli aid. Rut the young man was no better off than the girl, both w ere pen- i miens. Both were tiierefore indentured to service to reimburse Mr. No we 11, the master of the reaael ; the young man John lieing, if we may trust tradition - I Uuuid out to the town of Hampton, in . New Ifatupaliiee, to teaeh school. Finding thin aituation unprofitable < r unpleasant, he applied to Rev Samuel Moody, of York, for aid, in a letter written, tradition aya, in seven different languages. Why, he might have taken a professorship at Harvard College, only for this reason : he had been tirought up a Roman Catholic. In reply he received from Mr Moody a loan sufficient to set him free from the remaiuder of ltia indenture, and enable him to open a school at Rerwtek. Not long after he redeemed Margaret from service ; and lie a coma from this tuue to have adopted the girl aa his child. The proceeding wan uot con sidered at all inipn>|>er, aa ahe waa uow only ten, while he was thirty two years of age. For eleven years thia relation was continued, Margery living in the house of her foster-father, while he strove to kindle in lier mind the love of learning, but without auy great success. He uiust have had a stormy time of it, for Margery was earl rand long distinguished for her " ebullitions of temper." Thus their lives went on, until a nicely dressed young gentleman, pa; fl ing by, near the house, observed the young lady drawing water front the school-master's well. Admiring her beauty, he stopped and engaged lier in conversation; uud snch a passion was at once developed in his breast that he then and there proposed marriage. Probably she referred him to her foster father ; for the youug man immedi ately proceeded to interview the school master about a wedding m the family. Yery likely the young lady had flirted mischievously with the young gallant— a performance to which we may believe her fully equal—from this description of her from an authentic source: " She was somewhat below the middle height, remarkable in her younger daya for beauty and vauity, at all periods of her life for talrnU and energy." Y'et it was very proper for her to lie thinking about the selection of a beau, for she was now twenty-one years old. School-master John, after hearing the plea of Margery's suitor, sought his fos ter-daughter in the kitchen. lam in clined to the belief that she made some strangely exhilarating confession to the pedagogue ; for he went back to the waiting gallant in high spirits, and showed the over-hasty lover out of the door with an intimation that further prosecntion of hia suit would be suit ably resented. Yet there was really a wedding iu that house shortly after, to which the hand some Margery and the young peda gogue were the chief parties. " Young pedagogue I" exclaims the reader, with emphasis. Aye, young, I reply ; for John Sul livan lived over aixty-one years after this happy event. Hero ia a descrip tion of his appearance at a much later date : " A tall, slender but athletic man, six feet in height, with dark Lair, black eyes, and a florid complexion, very erect, and well proportioned." He lived in possession of hia faculties ano his physical strength to a remark able degree, till he had reached his hundred and fifth year. It is recorded that he spoke and wrote both Latin and French fluently when even a hundred, and this Irishman never drank spirit uous liquors. Was not Hehool-master Sullivan a husband worth having ? All their children were of more than usual ability; one of them being Gen. John Sullivan, of Revolutionary fame, and afterwards Governor of New Hamp shire ; and another, James Sullivan, the able lawyer of Woolwich, and, later, of Biddeford, who was twice elected Gov ernor of Massachusetts, then including Maine, having previously occupied several other honorable positions. So ittle Irish Margery was, all tin known to herself, a real prophetess when on the sea, she uttered these strange words to a man in the prime of life—whose worldly prospects seemed to himself to be utterly destroyed. But, dear reader, 1 know no more why she left her home and set forth alone to a new and far away land than these facts reveal. A Horrible Scene. The Sydney Empire publishes a nar rative of a shocking occurrence which recently took place at Newcastle, New South \Vales. Among other demonstra tions, it says, to celebrate the abolition of the tonnage dues, there was a bonfire on Shepherd's HilL The firemen, eager to make the affair as successful as pos sible, poured kerosene oil upon the burning heap, but for some time this had simply the effect of creating a momentary blaze, which would subside as soon as the kerosene was consumed. Lewis Wood, a member of the brigade, then mounted the heap, took the can in his hands, and commenced pouring the oil on the fire. He was warned by some of the danger herein, but took no heed of what was said. Presently, an awfnl explosion took place. A" dull sonnd, lite the booming of a distant cannon, was heard, and an immense volnme of flames shot ont among the crowd. When the shock was over, the unfortunate man Wood was seen rolling down the burning heap in a sheet of flame. The oil had apparently splashed over his clothes, and as he emerged from the heap he was a mass of fire. He struggled to his feet, and gained the open space, his cries of despair be ing terrible. The flames had got snch a complete hold of his oil-saturated uniform that the work of putting them out was next to impossible, and he sank to the ground exhausted. Some of the firemen took off their coats, and tried to beat the flames off, bnt they still clang to their unhappy victim, and it was not until he had lieen wrapped up in several of the large coats of the fire men that the flames were subdned. His heavy uniform had protected the trunk el bis body, and his helmet had also prevented the flames from reach ing his head, but his face preaented an awful sight to look at. He lingered, in indescribable agony, till Snnduy after noon, when death put an end to his suf ferings. A Voting Bootblack In lllicli Lire. From a WnMkirt'jfnn better in the Detroit Free Pre**. One day lately at the breakfast table, Senator Sprogne said to bia eon, " Yon mnat understand, my boy, that you are the aon of a poor man, and will have your own way to make in the world. I have fifty cent# in my pocket, not a cent more; so after breakfast I think I'll take yon ont and get a boot-blacking apparatus for you. Yon mnat learn to black your own boot*, like a poor man's son, yon know." The little fellow list ened intently, then raid : "Well, papa, can't I black yonr boots and rave yon something?" "Ob, certainly, if you wih," his father answered. After breakfast the investment was made. The next morning the youngster rose at daylight, snd before anybody was up and conld interfere, had blacked every boot and shoe in the Hprague mansion, inoluding a pair of his mother's, which had been bought re cently for nineteen dollars, and which of course, were uterly ruined. ROBBERY OK A FARM-HOCSE.— A bold and successful robLery was perpetrated at the house of Andrew Murray, an aged farmer, living in the town of Gailderland, N. Y., about eight miles from Albany, by four masked men, who bound Mr. Murray and his sister, the only occupants of the house,with cords, and then robbed the house. They stole a pair of valuable horses, which they harnessed to a sleigh, and then made good their escape. Some one has discovered that a spoil ed child is cue who plays with kero sene. The Ohio Hhlsky War. Another Victory fur the Women Tan Pell Innrnders with Dark anil Hag. The mosl noteworthy fcitturo in tiic now* from the woman's whisky war, says a Cincinnati letter, is the inteb lipcnce of Ihe smitten surrender of Van I'ell, at New Vienna, Ohio, who was rapidlv becoming known as " Ihe wiokeileat man in Ohio. Van I'eit swore he would never eapitiilute, hill he gave up the struggle very unexpec tedly. A dispuUtb from N< w Vicuna auv: A request was eirenlated from Van Pelt inviting the citiectis to appear in front of hi* place of business at two t*. M. At one p. vi. the ladies meet al Ihe Baptist church, and at two they took tip their inarch, 1(H) iu number, to Van Pelt's. The church hells were rung, and in a few utiuiitca an immense crowd wan anm-mhled iti front of (lie saloon where so many prayers have been offered. After Miigiug and prayer hv the ladies, Van Pelt came to Hie door and said that he was ready to give tip ltia entire stock in trade for the good of the cause of temperance, lit a few remarks, full of etuotioa, he ex preuscd his determination to make a full surrender, not because of law or foroe, but he said he yielded to the aim pie latnira of love of the women. This waa what had reached ltia heart, lie then gave Rev. l>. Hill, of the French church, and ltev. H. H. Witter, of the liautiat church, privilege to briug out hi* wltiakv and later. They rolled out two barrel* and one keg. Vau Pelt theu took an axe anil stepped forward, atul held it up, crying, " Juiia is the same weapon used to terrify the ladien ; I now use it to sacrifice that which 1 fear has ruined nianv souls." Ho saying, he knocked the heads out of tlie barrel* and the buug out of tlie keg, aud emptied the entire contents on the ground, l'rayer was offered by ] ltrothi r Witter, during which time u photographer took a picture of the crowd, with Vau Pelt with axe in hand. After another hymn, and prayer by brother llill, there was an announce ment made that a thauksgiv.ng meeting would l>e held in the C'nristian church at 7 o'clock r. M., in which Van Pelt would give turn* of his experience as a liquor dealer and preaent some argu ments in favor of temperance. The women gathered around Vau Pelt to shake hands and congratulate him. He said he rejoiced with them that it was woman's work. He had stifled his con victions for dsvs, and had IKTU having thoughts that lie hud not made known. At the meeting iu the evening Van Pelt come forward and speko about twenty minutes. His manner was char acterised with a good degree of humil ity. His remarks were interesting and froqueutly railed forth hearty applause. He drat ntad ajnilogics to individuals •ud corrected some false reports, lie theu prooeeded to give briefly his views of the litiuor traffic and the temperance work, lie had felt for some days a deep conviction that he was doing a mean business, but had used every ar gument he could to Kustaiu himself; had tried to argue with the ladir* and get the best of the argument. It won uot arguments, but their prayers and sttffeiing that hail touched hi* heart. No uteu or set of men would suffer and endure what the ladies had endured in this work. He referred to hi* saloon na * low groggery,saying, " Yea, I'll rail it a low vroggerv, for no man ran keen a high one. " He hail often taken the last ten cent* from a man for whisky when he knew that the money hod been earned by his wife or child. Every man who sell* wltiakv does this. Little face* thus robbed had often appealed to hi* heart with greater force than any words of man. He waa now determined to quit this business forever and throw hia strength on the other side of the ques tion. He thought places of innocent amusement and resort ought to be es tablished to entertain those who seek company at saloons. He believed this emphatically. He believed that (rod hail led them into this work ; he wanted to encourage them to go on till the country ia freed from the greatest curse of tlie land. He had been thinking for several days that perhaps the great (lod wbo overrules all had allowed him to go into that bu*i neaa that he might ace the great Iniqui ty and lie better able to influence oth er* to quit the terrible buainesn. At the close of the s|>ecch the audi ence expressed their delight by pro longed applanse. iSome ot the ladies are to go to the Hillabnro mass meeting on Saturday and Van Pelt ia invited to accompany tiiem. The audience made Van Pelt a preaent of $l5O, not a* a compensation for hia whisky, for he did not oak that, but as an expression of their good feedings toward him for his sacrifice. The temperance war ha* broken out in Delaware, Delaware county, and in Pomerov, Meig* county. At Pomeroy fifty l<u\ies organized and visited the i saloon*, singing and praying for the proprietor* and against the sale of liquor. Thi* was their first demon stration. Xew York Boot and Shoe Market. '1 he opening of the spring season in the wholesale department of the shoe trade is still delayed, very few hnyera having yet made their appearance, while the majority of the orders received are for the heavier grades of goods suitable for winter wear. This trade is not ex ceptional, however, aa in the dry gooda and other lines the same backwardness is noticeable. The stocks are all pre pared and ready for inspection, though we notice that very few establishment* have provided heavy assortment*. There is some difficultv as regards prices, which, to say the least, are rath er weak; but the dealers show but little inclination to make any reduction. It ia a fact, however, that, at the East, quotations are ofT from 5 to 10 cent* per pair on some lines. For the present, at all events, we cannot report any decided decline among our wholesale dealers. Hhould lower prices prevail in the Boston mar kets, there is no donbt that New York will have to follow snit. The city manu facturers are in receipt of fair orders, especially those who have a wide repu tation for the quality and perfection of their goods, while nearly all have fair promise of an average season's trade. As the orders increase the working force is added to, and in the conrse of two or three weeka now, all the shops should be working with full comple ments of men. In prices, the manu facturers of fine custom goods, both for men's and women's wear, have made no attention of consequence from those j which prevailed last year. The coat of labor aud material is so closoly calcu lated, and the competition is so strong, that there is scarcely aTTV margin for variation. Tue city rcftfil trade is very quiet; no revival is expected ->><>w until ; the milder weather sets in. The auo- | lions are rather sliraly attended as yet, . with scarcely any life exhibited among j the bidders. But few spring goods are either offered or wanted yet. Hmall lots are the order of the day. Rubbers are in good request at retail, bnt in the wholesale line there is scarce ly any demand, except for occasional assorted lota. Parties who Ixuigbt too heavily in the early part of the season are marking them down rather than | carry them ver. The Dresden housewives have struck, so to speak, for cheaper marketing, and other cities have follow* d their exam ple. They recently held a meeting and solemnly pledged themselves not to pay more than 30 oenta per ponnd for but ter, nor more than 20 cents per pound for beefsteak. Tbev also advertise for proposals to furnish these and other articles at the prices fixed upon. Great delight ia felt at this movement by the family fathers. An old farmer in Canton, 111., has been sent to Htate Prison by his two sons. They quarreled, and in revenge the BODS revealed the fact that their father had nine years before robbed a firm in Carlinsville of SIO,OOO. lie was arrested, and tha testimony of the soua convicted him.
