from this city. Lost summer Mrs. Dr.
Dot'fic refused to testify in the taking of
cv ! deuce before a notary public and that
ofliclal promptly turned her over to the
sheriff. The decision , as filed , holds that
.1 notary public lins the right to commit
a witness to jail for contempt. Follow-
ini : are the decisions :

tmdnr a void appointment as such , maybe
bo recovered from him by the party en
titled to it in an action for money had
and received to the use of the plaintiff.
Dopge vs Jilollck. Error from Lancaster
county. AlHrined. Opinion by Heose , J.
1. Under the provisions of the statutes
of this state , the parties to a civil action

Opinion by .Maxwell , Cli. J.
1. Where ia an action to foreclose a
mortgage on real citato a summons was
duly issued by the clerk and sent to the
filieri IT of J. county , Illinois and en
dorsed by the defendant : "i admit ser
vice of the within summons this 20th
day of August. 1877 , at my residence in
Jersoyville , ill. , to which he appended
his signature. Hold , sullicient to give the
court jurisdiction.
2. In such case , as it cbarly appeared
from tlio record that the defendant re-
Elded in another state , the failure to lilo
nn atlidavit as required by section 73 of
tlic code , did not affect the jurisdiction.
Kllllnpcr vs Hartman , Appeal from Douglas
county. Afllrmed. Opinion by Cobb , J.
The grantee in a deed from a grantor
who had received a conveyance from a
trustee , filed a bill to require the trustee
to account , and to have htm removed :
and subsequently , having purchased
certain general interests in the trusts ,
nskcil leave to set up the same by supple
mental petition. Held :
1. That having shown no interest in
the trust in the original petition , he could
not aid the same by a supplemental pe
tition ; and ,
' . ' . That having no interest in the trust
nt the commencement of the suit , he
could not maintain the action.
Planning vs Cunnlncham. .Error from
Douglas county. JAJllruied. Opinion by
Maxwell. Ch. J.
1. In an action at law to obtain a re
view of errors which have occurred dur
ing the process of a trial , they must be
assigned in the motion for a new trial.
li , A chattel mortgage executed by the
mortgagor in uossession of the propertj
ns owner , although the legal title was not
to pass to him until the chattels were
paid for , where such contract of condi
tional sale was not hied for record , will
take the precedence over the secret lien
of the party claiming to be the real owner
of the property.
3. Where the only assicnment of error
Jn tlio motion for a new trial is that the
"verdict is contrary to the facts , " the
Tcrdict will not be set aside unless clearly
/ wrong.
NO DEPOT AT ALGERNON .
The railroad commissioners have ren
dered a decision in the case of the people
of Algernon , duster county , against the
1J. & M. , and the question is upon the re
fusal of the company to put in a depot a\

had about three months now with nothing
to do hut to wrestle with this question ,
nnd n poor , feeble recommendation would
have been the best they could have done

OATHEHED AT GRAND ISti.VM > .
Various Interesting Events Chron
icled From That Growing City.
GRAND ISLAKD , Neb. , Icb. 24. { Corns-
pondcnce of the BEE. " ] Various loca-
ions in the vicinity of Grand bland arc
icing examined with a view to sectir-
ng the best that can bo for the sol
diers' home. As the location must be
made within thirty days frora the passj
nge of the bill , our city will bo prompt in
getting Urines in readiness to comply
with the requirements of the law. This ,
lowevcr , is no easy task , cither in the so-
ection of a desirable location or paying
loathe same. Land in the immediate vi
cinity of the city is becoming viduablc ,
and it is not desired by our people to go
so far out as the limit will admit , viz. ,
six .miles. They will endeavor to locate
it within two or three miles , both for con
venience to the city and to give greater
value to the property.
There are several wholesale men visit
ing our city with a view to starting this
branch of mercantile pursuit if the iiUer-
Blate commerce law works as anticipated
in securing the equalization of freight
rates. This now law is a matter of much
speculation to all classes of businessmen ,
and we of the interior towns anticipate , a
point gained in tbo elimination of dis
crimination that will tend to our ad
vantage , and its actual demonstration ,
pro or con , is to make or break us.
Even if wo must pav more freicht
salvage than before , if it is equal
ized so that we are not discrimi
nated against wo shall count it a gain.
Through rates may , probably will bo
raised , and as wo are at a point where wo
must pay for the long haul it may bo
a hardship on our producers that will
offset the gain and more too , hence we
are waiting for the actual experiment to
see. As it has been , owing to foolish ar
rangements , this city could get no rates
for jobbers , hence the Omaha and Lincoln
jobbers captured the trade. Under the
equalization of rates that is expected
under the new law interior towns should
not bo at a disadvantage , but wp will see ,
as the proof of the pudding is only to
be tested in the eating.
Our city fathers created quite a scn alien -
lion by passing to a second reading and
publishing a list of licenses to be as
sessed on the various occupations of the
town , the proceeds to be applied to the
lighting of the streets , improvement of
streets and sidewalks. As the city is in
much need of such improvements , it is
conceded that it is a proper thmc to do
and although a great many growl about
it , they will get the benefit' ' just the same.
Especially the matter of street lighting
lias long been a source of complaint.
The eli-ctric lights in the business streets
have been paid for by a few busi
ness men that really received no more
bone lit than scores of others. This light
ing has been local to the total neglect of
other portions of the city. It is expected
that this new ordinance will supply this
serious deficiency and give all a due
pliare of light. The tax will come heav
iest on saloons , who will be charged $ iOO
per annum. .Next is circuses , that will
be charged $100 per day , hence they will
probably limit their visits to twenty-four
hours. All other licenses range from $ .5
to ? 2. > per year. Since the council is
unanimous for the tax it will become a
law. This will make saloon license
$1,000 , and it is conceded it will thin
them out to one-half the present number ,
a paring down that will be no detriment
to the town.
The electric light company has con
solidated with some eastern gas company ,
and will put in other gas works in this
city early in the spring. It is claimed by
somt this is a neccsity , owing to the fact
that the present company is not giving
satisfaction. At any rate , the new com
pany will put in works and have good
patronage by the numerous friends
of the electric light company that has
labored under many disadvantages and
discouragements while it deserved better
treatment.
Another clothing and "bankrupt sale"
house is to bo opened soon in Union
block. As they rent for a year , at $100
per month rent , the inference is that the
bankrupt business must be a profitable
one.
one.Work is going steadily on for the ma
turing of plans lor a Lutheran college in
this city , and it will meet with hearty
support from the people here , as they ap
preciate the benefits that would uccruo
from so elevating an adjunct to Grand
Island attractions.
The banquet given by the board of
trade to State Senators Bonesteel , Con-
cer , Schminke and Fuller on Saturday
evening was an exceedingly pleasant one
to the participants , and the toasts that
were passed were exceedingly Haltering
to our city and tlio boomuic state of
Nebraska. . They stopped off"at the re
quest of Senator Wolbach , and our people
appreciated the visit as a special compli
ment. With the usual western modesty
we bragged on Grand Island consider
ably , but being representative western
men , they knew we would have proved
ourselves ineilicient had we not done so.
City politics are beginning to gather
and nnother prominent man has been
named as good timber for mayor and
wants it. uo is Mr. Lawton a "north
side" man , a prominent 1C of N. man ,
and a pretty substantial character and
not without friends and intlucnco.
Whether he will develop the necessary
strength to be the loader of the "law and
order ' faction , remains to be seen. There
is much speculation as to the ultimate
outcome of the coming elections. The
contest will not bo drawn on orthodox
lines. In fact these will probably
o entirely lost sight of and the issues
purely local. There will be no temper
ance candidate , and there may be little
issue except as to men to execute the
laws. One side will probably select for
tax execution and the other tor strict en
forcement in making up their respective
tickets.
Very largo preparations are being
made for extensive building in 1837 and
some of the finest structures yet built in
the city are promised. Quito a number
of our wealthy men who have been using
frame buildings are taking pride in build
ing line structures to take the placn of
the old ones. They have mane their
money here and since they are now nble
are also willing to put their shoulders to
the new wheel and boost the city along.
Popularity is Ephemeral.
K < w IVrA Tribune ,
llow ephemeral is popularity ! Not
many years ago the Cardiir giant was one
of the most popular citizens of Onondaga -
ga county. Scientists from far and near
Hocked to his receptions ; the local news
papers vied with one another in depicting
his charms and tracing his romantic an
cestry ; men. women and children by the
hundreds gladly paid put good money to
gaze upon his impressive icatures. And
nowl A letter from El Paso , Texas , states
that the Cardiff giant at present is lying
there deserted in an old box , with none
fco poor us to do him reverence. It was
lately rumored that he was to figure
among the attractions of a'fair to be fceld
in thi western part of this otate. But the
managers on second thought doubtless
ruachc'd the sensible conclusion that he
hud lost his power to draw a crowd or to
interest a scientist. Thus a giant's career
that oegnn in brilliancy ends in an old
box in Texas. The history of his species
contains few madder chapters.

TIELD AND PAHM.
Losses By Hop Choi er .
CEDAR COUNTT , Nebraska , Feb. 1'2.
To Uie Editor of the Chicago Times : I
have noticed by your pnper that the dis
ease generally known as hog' cholera is
appearing from time to time in almost ail
parts of the west. The losses by it in
this state nre quite large. It lins como
under my notice that many hogs that are
sick and are presumed to bo suffering
with the swine disease have black and
diseased teeth , which prevent them from
eating and probably cause them intense
Dam. Diseased teeth may not cause
death by themselves , but they produce a
low condition in pigs which makes them
liaole to contract diseases , and when
these diseases arc contracted it is very
diflicult to effect a cure while the teeth
remain and give them pain. I have
more than once brought up hogs that
were down xvitli a disease which was ap
parently cholera by removing thn black
teeth and putting them on a diet of milk
and cooked food. They beean to gain
as soon as their mouths became well , and
in several cases they took on flesh and
fat rapidly and became good animals at
slaughtering time. Any animal must bo
free from pain if we desire to prepare it
for the butcher. It must have a healthy
mouth and stomach or it ill not cat
much foo'l or properly digest it. its
comforts must bo looked alter in many
ways , li mut be kept warm , clean , und
dry. Cold , filth , and moisture , as well as
aehing teeth , will cause animals to con
tract diseases of various kinds.
Too much hard , dry corn is , in my
opinion , the principal cause of black ,
diseased and painful teeth in hogs. Pigs
that are brought uu on milk slops and
grass should not be put immediately on
a diet of dry corn It is almost certain
to break their teeth , and is very likcl y to
cause them to become constipated.
They should have solt food a consider
able part of the time , and bo allowed
frequent changes. If a farmer has no
conveniences tor cooking food for his
hogs he can soak the corn and ojhcr
grain he feeds them. It is easy to pro
vide a change of food for hogs. .Most
farmers feed corn continuously , because
it saves them trouble. The hog is the
most neglected animal on the farm , and
it is for that reason principally that it is
tlio most lialilc to contract diseases. No
shade is provided for it during the sum
mer. anil it is poorly iirotectvu from the
cold in the winter. Iso pains are taken
on most farms to supply hogs with pure
water nd if they are penned up their
quarters are generally very filthy. Few
farmers study how to render their hogs
comfortable. They raise corn during
the summer and then see how much of it
they can stuff iuto the hogs they wish to
send to market. More comfort and less
corn would keep the hogs in better con
dition and produce more porfc.
That thu germs of swine disease are
carried from one farm nnd hog yard to
another on the shoes and boots of visit
ors and euriositj- seeker ? , 1 am confident.
I have often noticed tnat when the hoc
cholera breaks oat on a place that manv
farmers visit it , go among the sick and
dead animals , and then walk among their
own hoes to see what condition they are
in. In a few days they have no occasion
to visit other farms to observe ca es of
hog cholera , as they can sco animals sick
with it at home. That dogs and cats help
spread tlio disease is very likely. The
practice of hauling dead hogs out on the
prairie and into patches ot timber , or
throwing them into watercourses has had
much to do with spreading the disease.
Some streams have been pointed for
the distance of many miles. Farmers
should not expect to have healthy hess if
they do not unite to secure good sanitary
conditions , and do all they can to pre
serve the requirements of health. At
piesent farmers rely too much on hog
cholera cures and pay too little attention
to measures for the prevention of the
disease. E. R. S
Winter Cows.
A cow reasonably young and desirable
in other respects will selj better if timed
to calve during the winter than at any
other time of year. There is always an
active demand from milkmen for new
milch cows in winter , aud the demand is
not supplied as it should be. With
warm quarters for the cow at the time
she drops her calf and reasonable care m
keeping her from eating or drintcing
anything cold , there is no more danger
from calving at winter than at any other
time. But it does require sonic succulent
food to keep up the llow of mi lie. This
may supplied . by either roots or ensil
age. Some grain will also bo needed to
keep the cow in llesh. A free milker fed
with succulent food loses fat rapidly when
in full flow of milk , and when the fat
coesoft'the animal thus early it is diflicult
to make her worth much the following
summer. A winter cow well fed will
have a second fresh flow when grass
comes , and may usually be milked until
nearly the timn for her to drop hei calf
the following winter.
TCarmtli of tlic Subsoil.
In passing the outlet o.f any deep drain
that Hews in winter it will be found that
the water retains tiio heat given it bv the
earth's interior for some distance after it
is exposed to the chilling blasts of the
earth's surface. In the latter part of win
ter this warmth diminishes so that water
will freeze over nearly as soon as it comes
from the uuderdrain. This shows that
the circulation of air through the soil fol
lowing the receding water has made it
colder. As a matter of fact , land , after
being thoroughly drained , will freeze tea
a creator depth than it would when the
surface soil was saturated with water.
This , however , is no disadvantage. As
soon as warm weather comes in the
sprimz the same openness of soil secured
by drainage ivcs the warm iiir circula
tion through it and warms it to a greater
depth. This is oao reason why clover
does best on dry , gravelly soil. On heavy ,
wet land its roots do not penetrate the
subsoil , though after draintigo clover is
most beneficial on this kind of land , open
ing and warming the subsoil ,
Handling Young Hullu.
A writer in one of our foreign exchanges -
changes gives the following as hU expe
rience in handling young bulls to prevent
them becoming cross and unmanageable ;
"It is a most excellent idea to accustom
the yearling to recognize that ho is not
free. It prevents those rough gambols
in the box when the attendant enters ,
which , nine times out of ten , are the
cause of man and beast both JoIng their
tempers. As a rule , wo have found the
bulls best under control where the at
tendant has been a small , almost a feeble
man. Men of that type do not often pro
voke a struggle for mastery , even with a
calf ; and it is with calves in the hobble
dehoy stage that the foundation of
viclousness is generally laid. The calf is
roughly 'suppressed' when lie only meant
plav , and in consequence ho bears malice
or feels fear. But a calf which has never
been at liberty to romp never expects to
do so , and ono great cause of contention
is absolutely prevented. "
Baring Coal Aahex.
Although there is little material value
in coal ashes , they are well worth saving
for various uses. Thrown into the hen
house they made a good bed for fowls to
roll in and free themselves from vermin.
They are also a good absorbent to put in
privy vaults , and serve not only to pre
vent offensive smells , but to put valuable
fertilizers in condition for use. In the
summer dry coal a hcs can be used with
paris gjeen for destroying potato bugs
and injurious insects. Norv is the time
to saye the ashes dry ,
Clover Hap For.liorse * .
.Everybody admits that clover is the
best hay for cows , but it is cootuiouly ob <
jectcd to us food for horses , especially
these inclined to heaves. It is often
dusty because it is apt to bo injured in
curing. Another objection is that horses
like clover hay so wtoll , and cat so greed
ily of it , that tbeir stomachs are over
loaded. Injury from hard driving under
such circumstances is inevitable. But if
clover hay is cut and wet , then mixed
with a little meal , itls probably the most
economical feed for > anv horse , and will
do no injury to any , however broken-
winded. Clover hay is t-xToinely nutri
tion ? , and only a small quantity per day
will be needed when fed with grain.
nrPodli E Cows.
Some cows will come In heat at the reg
ular time , and bo Served by a bull even
after they are with calf. This sometimes
occasions serious losses , the cow being
treated as farrow , turned off to the
butcher or perhaps be continued in milk
later than would be advisable if the true
state of affairs were known. If a cow ,
which has been served bv thu bull repeat
edly , begins to dry pfi earlier than was
expected , it will bo fair to presume that
she is with calf by the earlier service.
After the foitus is four or five months
old its motion may be observed , particu
larly when the cow drinks heartily in the
morning. This is an unfailing sign and
always easily tested.
Knnqonnhle Hints nnd Sunccstlons.
Whenever it is noticed that the hogs oat
gravel it Is a sign that something that
they need is lacking A few pieces of
coal , or charcoal , will probably be a cure ,
while at the same time the food should
be varied.
Should spring open earlv , and the grass
start , do not be tempted to allow the
slock to graze on it until itis well under
growth. Tramping on young grass docs
more damage than grazing It closely.
Two or three feeds of cooked turnips or
potatoes each week are better than to omit
such food altogether. It is variety that
promotes health aud keeps the stock in
condition.
It has been sucgestcd that farm horses
bo sold by weight , in addition to other
qualities , so as to induce farmers to raise
larger and better horses.
If you have not Secured your garden
seed , do so at once. The selection should
all be made during the winter season.
Charred wood from the stove , or char
coal in any shape , is excellent for hogs.
It is best to keep charcoal in the pens
where the hogs can alwavs have free ac
cess to it. Rotten wood is also relished
bv hogs , nnd they are very fond of
burnt bread or other charred substances.
For old = toek that cannot properly
masticate the whole grains , there is noth
ing that will fatten so readily as ten
parts of meal and one part of linseed
meal. If the mixture be moistened with
warm water , aud slightly .salted to give
it seasoning , the animals will cat it clean.
Offering bounties for the destruction
of owls , hawks , crows , * etc. , not only de
pletes the county treasuries , but do s
much to propagate field mice and insects.
Farmers often destroy thcirfriemU under
the supposition that they are protecting
themselves.
The degree of fat depends upon the
kind of food. Experiments show that
when the proportion of non-nitrogenous
to nitrogenous substance in the foo'l is
comparatively high the proportion of
carcass in thn live weight is also com
paratively high.
If you do not wish. to be backward
with work in spring do all your pruning
and cutting bark now , as the work can
not be done should the se.ason be warm.
To begin spring work should be to work
the ground , not the trees or vines.
An experienced pnultrynian thinks
that the cause of failures in the many
attempts to keep fowls in large numbers
is due to a lack of care. A farmer will
rise at 4 o'clock in the morninc to feed
aud milk his cows , will carefully clean
out the stalls and prepare hods for the
cows , and his work does not end till late ,
but he will not do so much \vork for the
hens. Yet the hens will pay five times as
much profit , in proportion to labor aud
capital invested , a. i the cows.
Hay tea and oat meal gruel is claimed
as the best food lor calves raised by hand.
The difficulty in raising calves when
they are taken from their dams , is the
"scours. " When this is noticed the food
should be cooked , and of the most diges
tible nature. Haw ground oats aud
steamed clover is tiie best for them \ \ hen
they are six months old , us such food
will cause thorn to grow very rapidly.
Previous 10 that ago the mode of feeding
must be done judiciously.
A ration for a cow weighing 1,000
pounds is estimated to be , of hay , 8
pounds ; straw , 12 pounds ; barley meal ,
4 pounds ; linseed meal , 3 pounds ; cotton
seed meal , 3 pounds , a total of M pounds
per day. The product from the cow will
depend upon her shelter and breeding ,
and , though the above estimate is for a
cow weighing l.OJO pounds , yet some
thing depends upon her appetite , health
and condition.
As a protection to trees against mice ,
rabbits , borers , etc. , a screen made of
common window wire is recommended.
The wire is cut into strips about six
inches wide , across the end of the roll ,
which is usually about two feet in width ,
and the strips wound around a broom-
handle. When placed around trees the
spring of the wire holds them in place ,
and they do not bind the trees.
If cornfodder be cut ami crushed seas
as to be in the same condition as ordin
ary cut food and moistened , horses and
cattle can be kept through the winter in
good condition upon it , but a proportion
of some kind of ground grain must be
also allowed , as the cornfodder , though
serving to supply bulky food , must be
balanced by material of a more concen
trated character.
'Tears have not seen and time shall
sco , " the people sit down quietlv to suf
fer pain , when enterprise can afford .such
a panacea as Salvation Oil.
The old saying "opposition is the life
of business" has not been sustained in one
instance at least. Since the introduction
of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup all other
cough remedies have been dead slock.

"DON'T YOU WOUUV. "
How Shrcivd Tliistncea 'Men Hnro
Solved n Great Problem.
"Is therei\ fatality among : oar prominent
men , " Is a question that we often ask. It is
a question that perplexes our leading tncill-
cai men. And they arc at a loss to know how
to answer it.
We sometimes think that if the phislclnns
would cl\e part of the encrscr to the con
sideration of this question that they Rive to
combattlm : other schools of practice , It nilsht
bo satlstactorlly answered ,
The fichts of 'isms , " reminds us often of
the quarrels of the old Indian trills , thtxt
wereonlr hacpy when they were annihilat
ing each other.
If Allopathy makes a discovery that prom
ise1 * eood to the race , Itoimcn.iuy ( derides U
and breaks down Its Influence. If Hoimc-
patliy makes a discovery that promUes to bo
a boon to thn race. Allopathy attacks It.
It I * absurd that the e schools should fancy
that all of good Is in their methods aud none
In any other.
Fortunately for the people , the merit which
these "isms' * will notrecosnl/e , Is rcconlzvtl
by the public , and this public recognition ,
taking ttie form of n demand upon the mcitl-
cal professioneventually compels It to reco -
nlrelL
Is It possible that the question ha been
answered by shrewd business men ? A
prominent man ouce said to nn Inquirer , who
asked him how he iot ; rich. "I cot rich because -
cause 1 did thlucs while other people rethinking
thinking about doine them. " It seems to us
that the public have reco ulzi'ilvh.it this
fatality Is , anil how It can bo met , while
the medical profession lia\e bceu Branding
about it.
By n careful examination oflnsurance re
ports we llnd that there has been a sharp re-
lorm with icference to examinations , { and
that no man can now pet nuy amount of in
surance who has the least duvcloiunent of
kidney disorder. ) because they tind that sixty
out of t-verr hundietl In this country do ,
either directly or Indirectly , sutler from kid
ney diMwe. HP nee , no u-llat > ! e company
will Insure a man xce | > t after a rigid urlii-
arv examination.
This reminds us of n little Instance which
occurred a short time auo. A fellow editor
was an applicant for n respectable amount of
Insurance. He was rejected on examination ,
because , unknown to himself , his kldne.vs
were diseased. The shrewd acent , however ,
did not il\o ; up the case , lie had nn eye to
business and to his commission , and said :
"Don't von worry ; you cet a half dozen bottles
tles of Warner's safe cure , take it accordinc
to directions , aim in about a mouth come
nrrmmi and we will have another examina
tion. I know you will lind yourself all iUht
and will cet vour policy. "
The editor expressed Mirprise at theacent's
faith , but tlio lat'.nr replied : "Tills point Is a
valuable one. Very many insurance aaents
all over the country , when they tind a cus
tomer rejected for this cause , utvo similar ad
vice , am ! eventually he cets the InMirance "
What are wo to infer from such circum
stances ? Have shrewd insurance men. as
well as other shrewd business men. Inund
the secret answer to tlio i.inulry ? Is it possi
ble tliat our columns have been proclaim ! nz ,
in the form of advertisements , what has
proved a blessiiic In dtsctilsc to millions , and
> ct by many Ignored as an ndveitisement ?
In oui tiles we tind thousandsof strong tes
timonial' ! for Warner's safe cure , no two
alike , which could not exist except upon
a basis of truth ; indeed , they are published
under a guarantee of S3.00J to any one wnn
will disprove tlieir correctness , and thlb offer
has beeen standingwe are told , formorcthan
four j ears.
Undoubtedly this article , which Is simply
dealing out justice , will be considered as an
advertisement and be rejected by many as
such.
We have not space nor time to discuss the
proposition that \xxir \ thine could not suc
ceed to the extent that this preat remedy has
succeeded , could not become bo popular with
out merit even If pushed by a Vatiderbilt or
an Astor.
Hence we take the libertv of tolllns our
friends that it is a fluty that thev owe to
themseUes to investigate the matter and re
lied carefully , for the statements published
are subject to the refutation of the entire
world. None have refuted them ; on the con
trary hundreds of thousands have believed
them and proved them true , and in believing
have found tlie highest measure of saticfac-
tlnn , tnat winch money cannot buy , and
money cannot take away.
AFTER A LIFEfTME IN PRISON.
James Hitchcock FinUs the AVorlcl
Chanced Conslileratilv.
Saginaw Courier ; James Hitchcock ,
of White Ok , who was pardoned from
Jackson prison Thanksgiving day a
year ago by Governor Alger , uftcr nearly
thirty-three years of confinement , is in
Lansing endeavoring to enlist a friendly
interest in a measure for his relief , which
he wishes to bring before the legislature.
Hitchcock was sentenced to the state
prison for life in 1W4. He wis : the third
man to enter the prison r.s a convict ,
and was known on its books and within
its walls as "No. 3. " Ho was sentenced
for the crime of murder in 1S54. He
was : i farmer in comfortable circum
stances , with a wife and two sons and a
daughter. One summer day while on
his > way from Stoekbndge , in this county ,
according to his own ory , ho was way
laid nnd assaulted by n neighbor named
atephcnson , with whom he had had
trouble about a debt Stcplienon
knocked Hitchcock down and took his
cane away from him and started
to leave him. Hitchcock , taking out
his Knife to cut another walking stick
from a sapling beiilc the road , was again
assaulted from behind by Stcphenson
and partly overpowered. In this condi
tion he sought to free himself by striking
at his assailant's arms wil.li the knife
which he held in his hand. He was horrified
rified to lind alter a moment's struggle
that Stuphcnson yielded and fell m a
faint. Hitchcock ran for assistance , but
before he returned his antagonist lay
dead. On the trial two brothers , William
and Lewis Morgan , who haw the affray ,
testified ttiat Stcphenson began the as
sault , but one Wright , who claimed that
he saw the tight from tlio start..Jaid that
Hitchcock deliberately stabbed Stephen-
son. Eight years afterward Wright ad.
milled lliat he bore Hitchcock a grudge ,
and to satisfy it had sworn falsely. On
this admission Hitchcock began las at' '
tempts to secure n pardon , winch attempts
lasted twenty-four years , to bo bucccssful
finally in 16i. Uurinir the first eighl
years , from 18/U / to 1803 , he was kept foi
long ponods'jn solitary confinement , and
always the tirst three years with u nine
pound weight around his leg. After thai
he had better usage , and looking back al
it now , ho says ho was tolerably wl
treated , being known as an exemplary
prisoner. The last twelve years ho was
given considerable liberty.
His petition for pardon was signed bj
Jiulgo Johnson and most of the jury tha
convicted him. His appearance is tha
ol a man of thirty , with a full wbiu
board , deeply wrinkled face , blue eye :
that exhibit no signs of hate or malice
but have a gentle or timorous look , shor
and stout body and lecblc limbs. Hi
has some hopes of being indemnified b
the legislature for his long and , as In
claims , wrongful imprisonment. Hii
family , wife , feons and daughter are al
dead. His property is gone , am
the worltl is so changed and hi
spirits so broKen that ho has neithe
strength nor ambition to tackle it for !
livelihood. Whether he enjoys life better
now that ho is entiruly Iree , is it questioi
that ho does not discuss , but the ftitur
has less of bright hopes in store for hin
than ho imagined when , us nn Inmate
he welcomed the day that would brin ;
him freedom.

. Pittsburg Dispatch : Many people have
been puzzled to understand why the
diamonds worn in earrings by ladies
nowadays maintain such & ceaseless
quivering motion. It makes uo dillor-
enco that the head of the wearer is in
perfect repose , nnd that she is even
speechless , nnd , therefore , txcrtlng no
muse.lo of face or feature. The ceaseless
twiuklc of the diamond goes on , enhanc
ing grcatlv the Hashing beauty of the
gem. The secret is in the setting of the
diamond , and the method is a patent de
vice. The patantce is reaping n royalty
of fifty dollars apiece from every manu
facturing jeweler to whom ho sells the
privilece of using it. Tlio stone is set m
the u ual manner , except that a hand
like the handle of a diminutive basket is
attached to the framework. On the un
der side of this band is a cup like cavity.
On the lower part of the hoop is ta pro
jecting pin pointed with rhodium , a
metal which never wears out somewhat
likr the irldiiim with which gold pens
are tipped. Now , when the diamonds
are put in position on the hoop , the rho-
idlum point project * into the cub. The
result is what scientists would call a con
dition of unstable equilibrium. Like the
pea blown with i pipe by a schoolboy ,
the diamond is given no rest , with the
difference that no effort is required to
keep it dancing. The metal point never
wears out.
