AGRICULTURAL
Poultry. There seems to be no branch
of domestic economy less understood than
profitably raising pouftry. When we say
profitably we do not speak of their value
in dollars and cents for we hold that eve
ry dwelling, however humble or splendid
it may be, should have a few chickens a
round them; for there are times in almost
every family, both in sickness and health,
when money cannot buy the little luxu
ries that the chickens give us. What
profit is there in keeping fifty or one hun
dred hens, without a corresponding sup
ply of eggs? Most people think that
chickens must pick up their own living,
and yield a good supply of eggs in the bar
gain, but we have found that chickens
forced to roam for their daily food, have
little time or inclination to lay; and those
who expect a good supply of eggs with
out generous feed, may as well plant their
choice vegetable seeds in a sand bank,
and look for tender delicious vegetables.
We have had some little experience in
the
hencry," and have found the great;
secret in getting a supply of eggs through ;
the whole season, but not in driving the
hens up hill, or in feeding them exclusive-
lv nn travel, or in sunnlvin? fhem ivilh
j o ' ri- v n
chalk nest eggs. The whole secret con- j
year, the chickens will supply themselves j
wilh animal food in the shape of insects,
but the rest of the time feed them regular
ly with flesh, as well as corn. Boiled
sweet potatoes is an excellent food for
fowls, but with it they want grain of some
kind and flesh also. In our long hot sum
mers, poultry are inclined to become lou
sy, but if clean, good ashes are placed con
venient to the hen-house, the hens will
dust themselves in them until the vermin
disappear. JNature is their teacher, and ;
hers is an unerring guide. A good shel-;
ter should be provided for the chickens to ;
roost under; the manure of chickens prop- j
crly saved, will repay all expenses of;
feeding. It is a great error to crowd too
many chickens together.
We know nothing of the patent chick
en hatching machines, but we know that

Great Family Meeting.Ezehlcl
Camp, of Butler county, Ohio, who
' resided on the same farm for 33 years,
jnvited all his descendants to dine with
'"d on Wednesday. The larger part of
cm were present and partook of a stimp
tuU8 farmer's dinner. For want of house
rorn an arbor was erected in the yard
Jacent to the house, and tables prepared
0r lbe occasion. The old gentleman 75
jV,ears f age, and his companion for more
an 50 years sat at the head of the table,
nen were arranged in order 14 children,
grand children, 23 great-grand chil-
dren, and 30 who had intermarried with
the family making 160, 39 were dead or
absent.
The children of the Patriarch were 17
in number, viz: 12 sons and 5 daughters.
One died at 10 years old; the other 16
lived to be heads of families, two of whom
have since died.
The eleven sons now living are all in
dustrious enterprising mechanics, viz: 5
bricklayers, 4 carpenters, 1 stone cutter,
1 millwright. Nine sons are residents of
Cincinnati, and several of them have been
leading men in their departments for more
than twenty years Thirteen out of the
iourtecn children are active members of
the Methodist, Baptist, or Presbyterian
church. Cincinnati Gazette

ginia are getting very tired of their Con
vention to amend their Constitution.
The press has been . pouring forth, for
months, the Speeches of the "great" men
in that body, and the war between the
white and the mixed basis advocates has
alternately raged and cooled; but reason
and good sense have yet to be heard, and
their chances for a hearing are. said to be
still quite remote. So it is. Partizans
and demagogues worm themselves into
Conventions toremoddel our fundamental
laws, as well as in other public bodies;
and once in they arc as reckless and sel
fish in dealing with important and sacred
matters as with common ones. This is
proved by the history of the Virginia

Carolina take warning from the example.

The first prin-jlScy
ter in the British colonies in
America
was Stephen Daye, who was brought out
to Boston by the Uev. Mr. Glover ir
eral courts. The Puritans were great
sticklers for their own liberty,
but not
that of others. The first newspaper pub
lished in the colonies was "The Boston
News-Let ter," printed by authority, by
Bartholomew Green, in April, 1704. It
was subject to severest censorship, and it
was not till the general prevalence of the
revolutionary spirit, that the press exer
cised a particle of freedom. '

Wild Man of the Woods. h gigantic
man of the woods has been discovered in
Green county, Arkansas, and a party has
been organized to endeavor to catch him.
When last seen he was pursuing a herd
of cattle, who were flying in a state of
great alarm, as if pursued by av dreaded
enemy. On seeing the; party who dis
covered him he looked at them deliberate;
ly for a short time, turned and ran away

with great speed, leaping from twelve to
fourteen feet at a time. His foot-prints
measured thirteen inches each. He was
of gigmtic structure, the body being cov
ered with hair, and the head with long
locks that fairly enveloped his neck and
shoulders.
Shocking Occident '.On Tuesday
night last, a youth in the town of Freder
icksburg, named Gideon Hazlup, was
burned to death by the explosion of a bar
rel of whiskey, the contents of which ig
nited from a candle in his hand. We can
not well conceive a more awful exit from
this world than this Richmond Times.
A man ground to poivdcr! A young
man named Hickman met with a horrible
death in Newport, a few days ago. The
Commercial says that while engaged in
oiling the machinery of Wolfe's rolling
mill, he was caught between tvyo heavy
rollers, used for rolling iron, and passed
through them with the rapidity of liftht-
ning:
t
The body" was completely ground
to powder! The flesh, bones and all were! A stupid compositor once made an er
so divided into small fragments, that nojror in the above, rendering it so as to say,
one could recognize br sight tnat a Lew
moments before they formed a human be-
ing, active and full of life. The sight
was a most horrible one. id
(J'Edward Goldsborougb, the break
man on the Ramapo Railroad, who was
killed by the coming together of two
trains the other day, knew beforehand
that the collision would be likely to crush
him to death, but refused to quit his break.
The passengers were thereby saved. He
must have been a noble fellow.

Revolution among lu Petticoats.
The ladies are on the skirts of a reform,
or on a reform of skirts. Since A mill
came to this country, they have talk
ed much ot 1 urkish trousers
and short
robes. Some more daring, have gone a
little further. They have taken to the
ninomer. of Seneca Falls, and others. Mrs.

Swisshelm jumps into this style, also. In
Syracuse, N. Y., it is quite the rage, and,
in fact, in several parts of the country, la
dies of some distinction have put a foot
forward in this reform, which transforms

question naturally arises, if these steps in
this new evidence of progress are to be
continued, what is to become of the old
cast off petticoats! We suggest that noth
ing better can be done than to catch the
dandies throughout the country, to invest
them with the old robes of prerogative.
They will cut more of a - swell than ever,
in the furbelows and flounces of the ladies.
