house officials, the leadiag importers and
business men of Boston, New York, Phil

portunity of presenting their grievinces.
They all confirm — the story ofth - e - rhigh
handed dealings of JAYNE (the informer)
and his ilk. •
William E. Dodge, of the firm of
Phelps, Dodge & Co., made a long state
-meat giving . the • history -of the case in
which, they paid $270,000 as a comprom 7 .
ise, and showing the manner in which the
firm had been treated by Jayne and oth
er Government officers. Mr. Dodge said
it was -not his intention to trouble the
committee with-'his case, but thii seemed
to be now necessary after the extraordin
ary course of the special agent (Jayne),
who had spoken to the committe concern
ing what he called duplicate and fraud
ulent invoices, injurious to him personal
ly and to Ms firm. He had occupied the
possition of merchant for fifty years, but
had not until lately been assailed' and
maltreated by officers of our Government,
one of whom had made statements for the
purpose of satisfying the committee that
a great wrong had been committed by his'
firm •
Mr. Dodge' said that after the case had
been before the public some time they
paid the money. The press, not under
standing all the circumstances, made un
favorably comments. Rather than sub
ject themselves ,to_a_suit for $1,000,000
they paid the s27l;ooo.*demanded. He
said then, and now, that a great injustice
had been. done them. He mentioned to
his attorney it appeared that Jayne could
write or sign a letter, saying that instead
of letting the matter go to court, where
-there might be a formal judgment for $l,-
000,000, the payment of $271,000, the to
_talvalue_of_all_the_goeds,-was-not the a
mount of money they owe, but that the
sum of $1,640, on 86,000 of under valua
tion was all the Government was enti
tled to receive. The attorney took this
paper to Jayne, and afterward reported
that Jayne acted in an ugly manner re=
garding it.-_ Mr. Dodge then showed the
committee the working of the law, say
ing at the present time and without any
agency on the part of his firm, an attempt
was made to again parade their case be
fore the public, as one of the most terri
ble that ever occurred under the customs
service, and attempts were also made to
'show there was evidence beyond all ques
tion that there had been a premeditated
hand for a series of wars.
iterMr. S. T. Brengles stable in Fred

ruary 27th, caused, it is' supposed, by 'an
incendiary. The celebrated stallion 'Wade
Hampton,' aged ten years, and valued at
$5,000, was burned to death, also a sor
rel horse, valued at $2,500 ; a "jack
valued at;s2oo, and a dog4together with
a. buggy, harness, saddles, hay, &c. Wade
Hampton was very stylish, and perhaps
one of the finest single foot rockers in the
country ; his record in Baltimore is 2.35,
and considered very fast ; his trotting re.
cord is 2,30. In a race at Philadelphia,
directly after returning from a race in
New York, he trotted over a very heavy
track with fourteen ounces of lead to each
foot, in 2.35. His owner was confident
that in a year he would be worth 810,000.
The sorrel horse, only five years old, had
a record of 2.33. The total loss is said
to be about $lO,OOO, with no insurance.

PORTABLE CHICKEN COOP.-012 Sat
urday, last we examined a chicken coop,
gotten up by our ingenius townsman, Mr.
P.. Geiser, which we regard as a useful
-and—much—needed—improvement: This
well known inventor—the originator of
the finest grain separator in the country
—has for years given particular attention
to raising poultry, young chickens espec
ially: He now offers to the public the
fruits of his labors in this ingenius con
trivance. It is in a measure self-feeding
and self-watering, and, is especially adap
ted to Cleanliness, and • to the comfort acid
health of fowls, affording both ground and
Wood &or, and is easily. removed .from
'One tip_oCto another. It is.alsl a complete
protectien from rats, cats, rain and storm,
and when required can be,uSed :for trap !
ping largo chickens,and cau fie used even
as a cat and rat trap. Mi. Geiser, who
speaks from practical experience s claims
that the proper seasons for broodhig young
chickens is in the:winter and early spring
months, 'that chickens , so reared will be
more healthy and more profitable. Thro'
the means be has provided chickens can
be hatched and raised equally, it not more
successfully duiing these months, than in
summer. All who engage in raising chick
ens should be provided with one or more
of these coops.' Call and examine for
yourselves. •

Sure a .virtuous and happy, manhood, arid

tel.: Another of our exchanges, the
Shenandoah (Va.) Valley, thus discants
upon the same subject : "Among all the
singular movements of the century, none,
perhaps, affords more food for reflection
than the bands of praying women, who
have been organized in many of the Nor
than and Western States, and who hold
prayermeetings in bar rooms or in , front
of saloons, and beseech the saloon-keepers
to quit the sale of liquor: We . have no
faith in suckspasmodic 'efforts,- and even
should they temporarily accomplish any
thing,'lt would not be lasting, and would
be at the.post of injury to true, religious
feeling.. We would. think that• amore
reasonable mode of accomplishing the re- -
iinia — desired wouldlW - to secure the pas.
sage, of more wholesome laws - to - reg,ulate
the traffic, and then appoint committees
to see that these laws were strictly carried
out to the' very letter and intent: This
might be made a continuing corrective 'of
evil, whilst the crusaders will only amount
to putting money into the pockets of ad
venturous organizers, who in reality care
more for the money than the cause. Our
observation has taught us that the great
difficulty in the enforcement of laws is,
that no one desires to take the responsi
bility of laying informations of infractions.
And yet every good citizen should feel
himself as much obligated to see that the
violators• of law are punished, ns he is to
obey the law.

A piece cifpoeiry to write; ,

I'll try and dO it with.alliny might.

Myself on being ierfeet.
I've studied long, but can't decide,
Just what,to write about
But think the School whiCh I attend
• Will do, without a doubt ,
Our school this year is•very small,
The smallest in the township ;
There are some who do not come at all,
Andso many now are absent.
The absent ones we miss than yet,
Their school-days here have fled ;
It seems so long since last we met,—
And some of them are dead.
And we must leave; we too must go
Before so very long,
To seek our fortunes in the world,
Amidst the busy throng.
Soon - school will close, and we must part,
And that will give us pain ;
Then will arise within our hearts
When shall we meet again?
And soon we, too, shall leave this place,
Our names will then forgotten be;
But oh! time never can efface
Loved ones from my mem'ry.
