The Defendant's Accomplice.
During the month of February,
1853, Seth Damon, of Action, insti
tuted an action Rt law against Ga
hfiel Butierworth, of the same town,
for the recovery of thutj thousand
dollars, of which he claimed that said
Butterworth had defrauded hiui. The
circumstances were these: .
Bu.terworth owned and kept the
principal store in Acton, and thougb
he had ueyer been regarded as an
exemplary gentleman, his honor in
business had not been impugned
Those whe had the faculty of looking
upon; the undercurrents of human
actions decided that he wss a man
not bound by honor, but who under
stooi the laws of self-interest too
well to bo guilty of small meanness
m .business. Wnat he was capnble of
doing on a grand scale was not mooted
until the occurrence of which I am
about to speak.
Seth Damon ha romoved from Ed-1
son to Acton in tbe fall, and Jiad pur-1
chased tho iron works. Shortly after
concluding the purchase ho had a
payment of thirty J thousand dollars
to make, and late on Satuidy after
noon he arrived fronrKew York with
tho mouey, part of. it ;n bank notes',
and part ot it in gold When he ar
rived he found that the pirties' to
whom tho money was to be paid had
left town, and would not return till
Mouday. Mr. Butterworth had the
only reliable safety vault in Iowd,
and to Mr. Butterworth Dmon took
the thirty thousand dollars, asking
crmiesion to lodge it in his vault
over the Sabbath, wh:ch permission
was readily and cheerfully granted.
During Sunday night the people of
the village were aroused by the alarm
of fire; and upon starting out it was
found that the alarm cams from
Butterworth's store, but Mr. Butter
worth had beeja active. He had dis
covered the fire in season aud with
the assistance of his boys ha put it
out before much damage had been
done. Upon looking over the premi
ses it was found that the fire had not
oaly been the woikofan incendiary,
but that it had been- set in ceverai
different "places.
"How fortunate," 'that I discov
ered it m season.''
Buttery soon another discovery
was made. The safetyrtault had
been broken open, and every dollar
it had contained stolen away I Here
was alarm ana consternation, Ga
briel Bulterworth seemed fit to go
crazy.
"For myself ; I care not," he cried.
"A few hundreds were all I had in
there; but my' friend, he had a great
sum! " ....... .
Immediately search for. the robber,
or robbers, was instituted, tind jwmd
was sent far and near to -all , sberjffs
and their deputies, and to the police
of the citiea.
Now, it h.td so happened that on
that very Sunday evening, or, i may
say Sunday night, I, John Watson,
had been returning from my broUi
er's,' in. Dunstable. I. had 'left -my
hired team at the stable, und on my
way to my - boarding liouse ! "passed
4 the store ot Mr. Butterworth; " In
the back yard of thestore was a horse
trough," and being thirsty I -..stepped
aruind that way to' get a draught of
water. As I stooped to drink at the
spout of the fountain I satr. gleam

I was summoned fo appear before the
grand jury at Wiltouburg. I went
there in company with Mr. Damon,
and : secured h dging at the Sabine
house. It was a small inn, well and
comfortably kept, and frequented by
patrons of moderate means. There
were two public houses of more fash-
lonable pretentions in the place. .
It was an afternoon of Monday, the
14th day of February, that I took
quarters at the .Sabine house, and
after tea I requested the land lor J to
build a fire in my room, which he
did; and he also furnished me with
good lamp. It was eight o'clock, and
I sat at the table engaged in reading
when 6ome one rapped nt my door
I said "Come in," and a young man
nanicd Laban Sha,entered, bring
ing his carpet bag m his hand. This
Shawl had known very well as a
clerk of Gabriel Butterworth, but I
had never been intimate with him
from-the fact that I had never liked
him. He must have seen the look of
displeasure upon my face, for he
quickly said: -
"i'ardon me, Mr. IVatson, I don't
mean to intrude. I have come down
to be present at the examination to-
morrow summoned by Buttcrworth's
man, of course and 1 got here too
late to get a room with a jstove in it;
and, worse still, I mnst take sr room
with another bed in it, and with
stranger for company. And so, may
I just warm my fingers and toes by
your fire, and leave my carpet bag
under your bed? " .
Be laughed when he spoke of the
carpet bag; but yet ho did. not know
what sol t of faculty his stranger
room-mate might have for getting up
anil walking off at night.
Of course I granted him his request!
and he put his carpet-bug under my
bed, and then sat down by my-stove,

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.
WKaT straw poe feeding.
As the winter draws towards its
close, how about your supply of clo
ver hay Is it giving out Well, a
word in time. Good wheat straw, as we
4iave before stated, is not without
value as a feeding material. It con
tains, ot course, a less, amount of the
taluable properties, such as starch,
sugar, the fait producers, than clover
and more of indigestible, woody
fibre, and alone it is not relished so
well by cattle. But, if cut fine,
moistened well with warm water and
enriched by an addition of wheat brau,
corn and cotton seed meals, it will be
relished by the animate, and the" pro
ducts in milk, butter, flesh or fatwil
be satisfactory. The nutritive value
of the straw, by the admixture of the
richer materials is economically util
ized. An old farmer of Virginia, ; in
whose skill and judgement we have
confidence, writing to us of his expe
risnce in this matter says, that a few
winters ago when his bay jsupply gave
out he fell back on his straw feeding

in hotter was good, and the" quality
sufficiently excellent to command fifty
cents a,pounds in. Washington city
This is what we call skillful feeding
in contradistinction to the hap-hazard
way. It ia i n full conformi ty wi th the
certain laws of chemistry. It isls one
of the important ways of turning ev

realizing its utmost value in solving
the problem of success. Don't under

NIGHT AIR,
An extraordinary: fallacy is the
dread of night aii? The choice Nis
between pure night air from without
and foul air lionVVithin Most peo
pie prefer the latter an unaccounta
ble choice. What will they say if jt
is proved txue that fully .one-half of
the disseases wo suffer from" are oc
casioned' by people sleepi ng with: their
windows shut? ; An open window,
most nigh tsin the yeari can never
hurt any one. In great cities night
aw is eften theestfand purest to be
bad In twenty:four hours. I could
better understand shutting ' the win
dows ..in'-town during the day than
duimg the night, for the sake of the
sick. Tiifi absence of smoke, . the
quiet, all tend to make night the
best time for airing the patient. One
of dnr highest medical- authorities on
consumption and climate has told me
that tie air of London 'is never so
ijood as after ten o'clock at night.
Always air your r-oenv then;', from
the outside air, if possible; Windows
are made to open, doors are' made to
shut a tmth-which seems extremely
difficult of apprehension. Every room
must Be aired from" without every
passage from' within. Dr. Wm;. H.
