WE take pleasure in calling the atten tion of our readers to the prospectuses of the Indinnapolis Sentinel, State Journal, and the N. Y. World. TA —— e UNDER the laws of our State, tlie Legislature convenes in regular session at 10 A. M. of January Oth. Gov. Hdndricks will be inaugurated on Monday. » ' eG A — e UNDER the neéw assessment [law. the printer's fee for publishing the delinquent list is reduced from sixty to thirty cents per tabular description. The latfer is the amount allowed before the war. THERE was an increase cf $1,684,307 in the ‘public debt, last month| In ex ‘planation it is pleaded that ywhen the Treasury accounte are completed by, the returns from distant banks pnd Custont Houses, this apparent addition toour indebtedness wil! be transformed into a decrease of some millions, i T - —— AN immense mass meeting of| the peo ple of Louisiana was held at New Orleans lust.‘Monduy, to give expressign to the true sentiment of the bona jide ditizens of that commonweaith, by sustdining the legally elected Governor (McEhery) acd the Liberal Legislature. The carpetbaggers and niggers tried to gacure the aid of federal troops for dispefsing the assembly, but the War De¢partment promptly forbid such interferénce. No serious disturbances have as yet/ occurred

SENATOR SUMNER, who spent last sum mer in Europe for the benefit of his bealth, but returned without finding the desired relief, is in a very critical condjtion. He hbas frequent recurrences of acute pain in the region of the heart, a relic of the spinal difficulty which bas afflictéd him for the last fifteen years, These attacks are very violent and prostrating, but are of short duration. The Senator shffers from the loss of sleep, and on retirig at night has an’opiate infroduced under|the skin of the arm, from the influence of which alone slumber is induced. : Y ol e ] SECRETARY BoUTWELL has| concluded to retire from the Cabinet on {be 15th of February, He will then procged to Massachusetts and devote his atterdtion to the United States Senatorship. Hijs principal competitor for that position is Congressman Dawes, who is badly mixéd up in the Credit Mobilier business. Jédge Richsrdson, at present Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, will probably gucceed Mr. Boutwell. Ricbardson is a mpn of moderate abilities, but being in full accord with Boutwell’s financial policy, his ap pointment will probably profe satisfac tory to the friends of the adufinistration. - ety 4G — . From the statistic tavles of the World we gather the fact that there|were 5548 more deaths in the city of [New York during the year just passed t 1 a 0 in 1871, the total mortality having beén 32,489, a death rate of nearly 85 per| 1,000 of the population; whilst Berlin, which bas always borne the reputation of being the unhealthiest city in Europe, hds an average death rate of only 83 per 1,000, Censid ering that of this enormous ortality at least 20 per cent. arose from. what are known as “preventable diseas ~ the World thinks the city authorities of Gotham bave not much to pride themselves on in the premises. | @ | )

TaE holiday §vdcation baviing expired, both houses of Congress convened last Monday. The proceedings of the Senate are entirely barren of interest. The House was made lively by the introduc tion of a resolution to have fthe sessions of the committeie investigatinig the Credit Mobilier frauds open to the gublic, which after some discussion' was adppted. Afrer sowe further business the Crédit Mobilier question again came up under a Tesolution authorizing a suit tq be brought against the Union Pacific Rajlroad, which elicited consid'e;ra_ble debate Jand some fil ibustering. This resolutiop was also adopted. :

“NED,” & correspondent riting. from Cromwell, comes to the ddtence of the “generous” individual whd refused to contribute to the support of| the poor, by stating that if he “had been approached in the proper spirit and manfer, he would not have been found wdnting” We ‘would be pleased to have Ned inform us whether be- knows that M. Upson was approached in a different manner from all others who freely fcohtributed, or whether be (Ned) knows Anything at all about the “spirit and manndr” in which ‘Messrs. Knisely and Peck approached the gentleman in question ? would also be glad to bave Ned telllus why those who see fit to criticize Mr, Upson’s niggardly conduct should be denounced as ‘‘canting hypocrites,” and ¢harged with ‘being just as uncharitablg as he? We hold that when men show |themselves as penurious cusses, they are gfroper subjects for public criticism ; and the miserable pretext that %om_ebody else “wouldn’t give either,” is simply an jattempt to extenuate for the meanness of the guilty by casting suspicion upon the jnnocent,

Epwarp 8. Stoxgs, thk murderer of James Fisk, Jr., was last Baturday con_victed of murder in thq first degree, a verdict to that effect having been reached by the jury after an absencp of only three hours. Sentence was passed by the Judge last Monday. The telegraph informs us "that the prisoner was asked what he had to say why sentence of depth should not be passed. Stokes said that be bad not violated the law intentionally; that the testimony upon which he fwas convicted ‘was manufactured and petjured. Judge Boardman, then, in a feeling address, in ‘which he alluded to tbe prisoner’s youth and. éocial surroundings, pentenced him -to be hanged on Friday; the 28th day of February next, being thé shortest time that could be legally allowed the convicted man. Stokes’ counsel were great Iy surprised at the verdict, and expreseed their pose of applying at once for a stay of pr eeding, and| ultimately, it possible, seck another ‘tri ok

An Evening Out of Town. : Of all the pleasures and enjoyments vouchsafed by the longevenings and fleecy snow, none, perhaps, surpass the bliss of an evening sleighride ; where from six to ten—a real jolly set—in one large sled, drawn by a span ot fleet horses, go dashihg over the glassy snow, where the wusic of the jinglirg sleigh bellsis only excelled by the merry, confused prattle of the gay belles whose muffled tones proceed from among the robes. No one thinks of complaining about the cold. The keen blast only serves to heighten the mirth of the occasion and tinge' the chbeek with the bright glow of health and happiness. Such were the enjoyments of a gay par: ty, of some four dozen or more, who were favored guests at the residence of Mr. Joseph Hitler, one evening last week. It was a pleasant evening and we enjoyed the ride so mach that we wer‘evalmpst sorry to hear a voice sing out, “Here we are!” as our driver drawed rein in front of a fine looking farm house. But soon we were in the house, where we met with such a welcome and found everything so comfortable that we soon felt at home. We could wish for nothing better. A part of the compa oy bad preceeded us and others arrived later, " '

. With singing, ckatting and jesting, in terspersed with good music, by Prof Hughs and several ladies, who sang and played, the evening waspassed very pleas antly ; to say nothing about the Pitcher, vyhich had been introduced several times by the clever daughters of our host and as often relieved of a goodly portion of its sparkling contents—which, by the way, the M. D.s, and other competent persons, pronounced very good. Of course we didn't imbibe, but we claim credit for having doue justice to the apples and other good things that came within our reach, At'length supper wasannounced aud we were ushered into the dining room, where we found the table so loaded down with delicacies and the substantials of life that we dare not attempt a description ; suffice to say, 1t was such as is only found beneath the farmer’s bountiful roof, spread by the lavish bands of his wife and 'ﬁaughfers. There was“enough and to spare,” of which “all did eat and were filled.” .

Though months and years speed swiftly by ; though other friends may come and gO, and some beneath the sod be laid, yet will w 2 remember and cherish to the last the friends met on this occasion, and will recall with gratitude the kindness received at the hands of Mr, Hitler and his fam ily on this evening, which will be long recognized by that party as a pleasant evening out of town, and by us as oné of the most happy occasions enjoyed among the Hoosiers. : WiLL.

By BEANE has sold his interest in the Goshen Democrat to Col M. B. Hascall, who was connegcted with the same paper about 24 years ago. The retiring publisher ‘has won for himself a host of warm friends, whose well wishes will ever be extended to him, .Col. Hascallis a good writer and an efficient business manager ; and—in connection with his associate, LaPorte Heefner-—will deubtless place the Democrat in the front rank of newspaperdom in Northern Indiana.

MonpAy, January 6th—just a year toa day after he shot Fisk—Stokes celebrated the anniversary of the murder by receiving sentence of death. He is to be hanged Feb. 28th: When asked the customary question what hie had to say before sentence was passeﬂ, he replied. that the evidence on which he had been convicted was maanactu%ed and perjured. A stay of proceedinbgs will be asked for, and another trial obtained if possible. "-—r‘"‘,. PP - —Justices of the peace should bear in mind that the law requires them, on the first Monday of January and July of each year, to pay ixfato the county treasury all fines collected by them. Those who have neglected this duty, will perbape save cost by attending to it before the next meeting of she copnty dlpp_}gggionets. g

In a formér article on this snbject, notking was said of potatoes. According to some analyses, they contain a greater per cent. of nutritive matter than any other root crop, yet thei®value as human food and comparative lack of yield preclude their consideration in this connection. - The parsnep isalsoa rich root, excellent | for milch cows, giving color and richness to theymilk as well as imparting a fine flavor to fattening animals and poultry It keeps all winter in the ground through the severest frosts, and seems of a better quality for having been so kept, but it is too uncertain in cropping to compare with | carrots, beets and turnips. e ~ Carrots and beets should be planted_as | £oon in the spring as the ground is well warmed and while moist enough to insure quick germination of the seed. Turuips for winter use may be sown at any time dur ing the month of July, and even in ti)e first week ol August, if showery, rutaba gas earliest. The top dressings of ashes, lime, etc,, spoken of before, not only prevent the depredation of insects, but stimulate the growth of the plants while small, and may be applied with advantage at intervals during the season. Ashes, bféw ever, must either be leached or very little put on at any one time. The crop is gen erally safe from insects after & thrifty third leaf has fairly started. But if the planting has been done in good season and the plants destroyed, it will pay to replant if it can be doue at once. The gmﬁnd should be worked all over to destroy -the young weeds already started. Plants, six to ten inches, evenly set in the rows, far enough apart to {fdmit of borse culture g 8 soon as the size of ‘the ‘plant will allow, make the best réturn for the outlay in this country. Roomn should be given the plants according to the Kind cultivated, Rutabagas needing more space than other kinds of turnips, and Mangels more than other kinds of beets or carrots. It, for apny reason, there are spaces without placts, they may be filled by transplanting, immediately after a rain, those growing too thickly while they are _‘sil‘i_ll small." To succeed well, a pointed stick should be thrust down into the’ ground some deeper than the plant, the plant in gerted into the holeand care taken to press the earth firmly about it. But it 1s much better to sow an abundance of sced to eecure an even stand, at firet too thick, and thin cut when it is known to be safe to do so. : :

~ From the time the plauts are four inches bigb, the horse with a proper implement niay keep them nearly free from weeds. The more constant and thorough the cultivation, the more rapid the growth, the better the quality and the -greater the quantity of the roots grown. Mangels, from their tenderness, and standing high ‘in the ground, must be harvested before heavy frosts, but rutabagas and carrots may-be left till winter is aboutto set in.‘ln storing for the winter, only so much ‘may be put in the cellar as will be needed to feed in severe or stormy weather, wlen it cannot be dove from the pits, in which the roots keep in better condition. ' The simplest method for storing out of doois is to put the roots on the surface of the ground, in & convenient place for access in the winter, and pile up in rows, prismshaped, about three feet high, cover well with straw or other, good material, and again with dirt deep enough to keep out the frost. The pits should ‘be made lepgthwise on ~descending ground, if possible, to carry away any excess of water. This can be effected on level ground by taking the earth clean the depth of the soil a little Wistance from the heap, when covering it, and slanting the earth from the heap to the channel thus made.

. Turnips of all kinds may be fed to mileh eows without affecting either milk or butter with their taste, by feeding at the time of milking or immediately after. Should the farmer raise but few roots, by intent, or failure of the crop, it would be better for his stock, on the score of health alone, if they bad but one feed per week through the winter. : Some writers, while admitting the value of roots for stock food in Europe &nd the British Isles, yet assert that our climate i 3 too dry, and labor costing, too much, tocompare favorably with them. This belief has so generally obtained among the farmers of this country, that experiments a:e not-common to disprove it. .

But in Britain and Europe, chemical analysis and practical experiments bave worked together to prove to farmers and feeders their good qualities. One apalyst makes mangels, compared to good English hay, as néarly 4 to 1, and carrots over 5 to 1, while ancther makes rutabagas nearly 7 to 1, and carrots nearly 4 to 1. A number of feeders make rutabagas from 2 to 8 to 1, mangels 314 to 414 to 1, and carrots 214 to 314 to 1. One author has said: “The mangel wurzel is extensively cultivated in Eufnpe for feeding cattle, and from their exceeding sweetness, being coansidered one of the most valuable plants on which cattle can be fed in winter. Bwedish turnips, or rutabagas, exceed them in the quantity of nourishment, weight for weight, but on good solls - thie produce of the beet per.acre, is much greater. -The proportional value of bhay, potatoes, rutabagae and beets in feeding cat - tle issaid“to be as follows: 18 tons of mangels are equal to 15 tons of rutaba—gas, or 714 tons of potatoes, or 315 tons of good hay, each quantity containing the samé amount of nourishment, but the roots. may be grown upon less than an acre of ground, while two or three acres of good land are required to produce an equivalent amount of hay. The beet is algo| considered the least exbaustive to theland.” Another, “The rutabage has a decided advantage aver all other turnips as cattle fuod, being thez_ most nutri. tive,-and retaining its soundness and richness to the last” Another says of the carrot, “It is a good promoter of digestion and is especially valpable as g substantial food for horses and other stock.” Another has said of the cultivation of the whole root ecrop in Europe, “Every one &% all acquainted with agricultural literature, knows of how comparatively recent date is the introduction of them, especislly as a field crop in England, even 88 late 08 the end of the seventeenth cen. tury, yet, he who has any pretensjons fo faniliarity with the industrial resources of the nation rom which we sprung, and with which we have the moet extensive o N I e s B Tl 1 S O R eyl o 0 il

and important relations, must know that ‘ the spread of these crops has had an influ. ence beyond calculation, on the health, 1 industry and power of Great Britain. 1 With no great degree of exaggeration, it has been said that her national power has its root in the turnip I” " ' . Indeed, it might be said, with the many practical experiments of her best farmers and the chemical analyses of her scholars, covering‘a long peériod of years, studied by succeeding cultivators, who experiment, analyze and publish in their turp, that the turnip has a literature of itsown. e Thirty tons of these roots per acre is considered & good crop, obtained without ‘extra effort in Eogland, and over sixty “tons of rutabagas are on record as baving been raised there, but the moist climate favors their growth more tlhan we can imagine. It would be safe to say, that in our dryer atmosphere, 10 tons of either root would be a paying crop, and that they could be raised inany ordinary geason. With the same careand labor given 1n Gieat Blritain to raise 30 tons per acre, 20 tons can be raised here. On “much of the soil in this vicipity, with a seusnn*-é’pprnaching the moistness of England, it is not venturesome to assert that the product of an acre need’ be no less than in that country. Bat,if the attentign of farmers is called to this cultiva tion, even with ‘reference to the benefit their apimals will receive more than to the profit in large crops, the object of this ‘article wili be attained CULTQR.

Poor South Carolina, A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial recently had an interview with the carpet bag Governor iot South Carolina, Robert Scott The following extract will be read with interest: As to the general condition of the State, he said: ‘I cannot say that I see much hope for' South Carolind in the vear fature. The outlook israther gloomy. The finances are 1n a wretched condition. The public printing account this year will amount to about $400,000. The Legisiature has been utterly reckless. . They authorize printing to be done that 18 perfectly absurd and useless, Each of the daily papers in the State receivéd from the treasury for printing laws which nobody reads, about $lO,OOO. 'The weeklies get from $3,000 to $5,000, many of tbem much more. It is a foolish, wicked, criminal waste of money. For in: stunce, some young chaps apply for the incorporation of the Bungtown Debating Society. Nobohy caresanything about. it but the parties directly interested, and they not much, yet the act is published in every paper in the State at’an expense of thousands and thousands of dollars. In this way-the money was drained from the treasury that should have gone for better and more worthy purposes. While poor lupatics in the asylum are half starved for want of money in the Btate Treasury, country papers without readers are publishing the laws which nobody reads.’ - ‘How will the precent Legislature compare with the last one T asked. . - ‘lt is worse than the old (ne, and that was bad enough. The truth is, each succeeding Legiglature is more worthless and corrupt than the previous one. We sebm to be drifting dowun stream all the time.”

~ New Roofing Material. A wonderful roofing waterial hasrecent ly been intreduced into this country.. It is composed of rock imported from Neuf chatel, Switzerland, a kind of bituminous lime stone containing eight per cent. of oil. The rock is imported in its natural state, and is reduced by crusheis to a fine, almost impalpable, powder. For roofing, this powder is heated in large kettles on the street to a temperature of about 400 degrees, at which the material melts and runs together. On being laid, it coolsal. most immediately, forming a smooth and water-proof roofing. - For paving, the pow der is spread over a bed of garvel and broken rock in its nataral state, It is -then rolled with red hot rollers, and when coul it becqmes as hard as marble, form. ing one of the best pavements knpwn. | .The roofing was™ tested the other day in Boston with great success. A shanty - was erected, and the roof covered with the material. Kindlingwood was piled up toa considerable height, and set on fire, burning briskly for over half an 'hour in the fierce drividg wind which swept from the north. The fire was fanned to a fierce heat, but the boargs of the roof, on being .examined from beneath, exbibited bardly | any change in temperature, and when the fire had burned out the roofing’ was unin ! jured, and one could easily ho!d his hand an it, i

Thesavorofit will never psssaway from ‘those among whom she moved, nor her precious memory decayin the minds and hearts of those that knew her. Above all she loved Christ and the church, of which she was a fait,t;fu.; member. She met death with the composure of one going tO%Re a friend, with the peace and desire to depart which God gives them that trust in Christ.
