duly sworn, dcK- as follows: I um a res
ideut of I'ninvtumiany township, Mercer Co,

Hartford, Ohio; have lired ahcrc l now re

airo mr attention wa arrested by a rery
harp and loud whistle, seemingly in a

turni oror the eiien or the door. 1 hit but
ton would frequently turn, mid tho door
open, withoutany vUil.lo agency. This wo
followtd by a loud and distinct (apparently)
liuman roica, which could he heard jcrliaja
fifty rod, i
' After repeating a very loud and shrill
cream several liutc, tha voice fell to a low
er key, and in a louo about at loud at ordi
nary convocation, commenced njxnkiiiff in
a plain nud distinct manner, assuring tlio
family that we would out be burucJ, an J ro
questing u to have no frur of any injury, m
we were iu no danger- Those iiianilttsta
tioos, beinu; altogether unaccountable to my.
ulf and family, wo searched the ehtiro
house, to find, if osiblu, the came of thin
new and startling phenomenon, but found
'no one in or nlout tha promises but the fam
ily. Again we wero startled by a rcjiclition
of the screams, which wero repealed per
fliape a doom timoa, when the voicVt proceed
d to inform in thut the conversation ciino
ifroin tho spirit of two brothers, culling
themselves llniiry and John Force, and
claimed to buve beau murdered tamo eleven
yean linoa, and then gave u wlmt they rep
rwaiiled a a history of the tragedy, nud iu
aisted that wo should cull ou soiuu of the
nif!lilior to hear tho disclosure. John
Rauney, Henry Moore, and sumo dowin oth
ara, were then called in, to whom the histo
ry was detailed at length. Wo could rendi
'ly discover a diUcrcuce in tho voice profess
ing to come from tho two spirit.
About the third day after thcKO manifest

of meat into Ihn liouie, and laid it on tho
itablo. and itenncd to the othur aidn of tint
room, when it win carried by ome inviaiblo

A man named John Jenkins, keeper of
the "Branch "of tho Fulton Market," No.
281 Grand -st. Brooklyn, was tried yester
day aftornoou bf fore Justiea Pcrrr. nt the
old City Hall in Month Socond-st., on a
charge of selling "J'latcd VchI," tho charge
being preferred by Kobc-rt liunuells, Alvnt
lusiector for the Eastern District. N. P.
O'Hrien, Assistant District-Attorney, np-
penred for the city.
At the Appointed boor, accused not being
present, the Court proceeded to Uke testi
niony.
Oeorira l'essincor sworn 1 saw nine
quarters of plnted veal hanging up in the
branch of tho Fulton Market, in Urand-st.,
kept by Jenkins : the boy said lliey were

to grease a jack-knife; butchers cull this
"bob veal j" I bavo been a butcher for 40
years ; I consider tins moat very unwhole
some; it was very young, and had been
slurved cither here or whilo it was being
brought here ; tliero was not a purticlo of
fat about it, and but very littlo meat on the
bones, aud consider wuul there was very un
wholesomo.
Jenkins hero came into court aud risked
to liavo the case adjourned, as ho was not
awnro that it was to be tried to-day. Ho
wished to procure the Washington Market
butcher of whom he purchased tho veal, to
prove that it was good.
Counsellor O'Brien was willing to have
the enso adjourned, provided accused would
allow hint to chnugo tho charge to "soiling
unwholesome meat,' winch would innko
tho ienalty much heavier.
l'oMinger nsked accused if ho knew
whether the moat in question was vcul or
dog meat.
Jenkins did not know, but supposed it
mubt be vcnl, us he bought it for thut.
rosseiiger This comes from licensing
men to sell incut that know nothing ubout
it ; tho name, is suflieient ; I cnn produco n
woman in Williamsburg that cooked steaks
cut from the thigh of tho pirnto Gibbs, w ho
was hung, and people nto nud pronounced
them tho linost they ever ate, being under
the impression Hint it wits the llesli of an
animal.
Accused concluded not to have the case
adjourned, and was accordingly fined HO.
Mr. lVssengor, iu explanation of the broil
ing of a portion of tho flesh of Gibbs, said it
was ut n hotel iu tho Dowcry, kept by the
husband of tho woman referred to, at nn nf
fiiir called a "Tackle," in which every per
son participating, contributed some article
of food to be prepared for tho dinner; this
placo was a resort for medical students, nnd
tho body of (iiblis having been handed
over to tho medical faculty for dissection, n
wag of a student conceived tho idea of play
ing oil' a joke upon somo of tho partici
pants nt tho "Tackle;" he accordingly pro
cured some slices of tho remains of tho pi
rate, which wero cooked nnd passed oil" as
the flesh of some animal : those who n.ir.
took, pronounced it most delicious.

Hard Times Vuttdlag.
Take half a pint of molasses, half a pint of wat
cr, two tcaspoonsful of salcratus, one large spoon
ful of salt ; thicken with flour to s tolerably thick
baiter; put it in a pudding bag, or better still, in
a mould if you have one, leaving plenty of room
for it to swell out, say nearly one-half. Jloil it
steadily three hours ; it will be good without sauce
of any kind ; but a little butter or cream, or butter
and sugar made into sauce with flour and boiling
w uter and spice widi a little nutmeg, will bo found
a great addition.
Tho Hertford Times says of the abovo : "We
can speak for the excellent qualities of the pudding,
having tried it aud found it 'a fact.' " Michigan

Take an orange with a thin rind ; espress the

as any scum rises. It may then bo removed, cool

spooiwful, mixed with melted butter, makes an ad

bottles in which this syrup is kept should bo se

Who Wants the Silver Cup? -
WE will give a SILVER CUP, or $25 in
GOLD, to the owner of any Reaping
machine who will, at a public trial of reapers, ill
presence of regularly chosen and disinterested
judges, produce a reaper that will do more and '
better work than BurriWt Convertible Reaper.
Said Iriul lo occur during tho coming harvest,
and not more than one reaper of any one kind to
be introduced asconipctilon. Time and place to
be ugrecd on with parlies entering for the trial.
Below wo give a notice of this machine and '
some of the ndvuntages claimed for it : .
" At the trial of reapers in the harvest field in
Geneva, New York, iu July lust, by the judges ap- '
pointed by the New York State Agricultural .
Society, nine reapers were entered, and each re
quired to cut about three acres of wheat and two .,
of barley much lodged and tangled, the straw soft
snd tough, on rough and uneven ground. Evere
facility was afforded for a full and impartial trial,,
aud examination as to draft, construction and per
formance ; and the first prize was awarded tov
Thos. D. Burrill for the Beet Grain Reaper. .
Tho judges, in the report, say : ' T. D. Bum'h"
machine performed its work in the most admirabl
manners the gavels were well laid, th workman-
ship and materials excellent.' It ho bo extra
wheel or pinions beyond what are simply nee-.
ary ; no reel to beat down and waste th grain,
no band wheels, pulleys, bells, straps, or harness
to get out of order; simplicity and stnagth for
doing work oil day and every doy have been the .
leading objects.
1st. It cuts grain of all kinds, in all condition.
wiuioui clogging, and may be worked either by
horses or oxen.
2d. It cuts at aav heivht fmuIJ l four- :
moments change. , .. ,
3d. It discharges th grain in the rear, if re
ferred, like Hussy's, or at Ihe side, Uke MoCor
mick s. This change is made by an extra apron,
(attached ia a moment,) from which the grain i
laid in better condition than by any other machine ' 1
iin. ii naa a balance wheel, which gives a qui-
et and uniform motion to the machine.
We have a few of these reapers for sale. They ' -will
be ready for exhibition on and after April 20th,
snd the attention of Farmers is solicited to THE
BEST REAPER OUT.
Also, 1 Eight Horse Thresher- 9 T- II-
