You have all heard of the " corpse that Mitchell bought." Well, the young man spoken of iu the first part, was none other. lie not only killed his man, but ujutilated him after he had killed him. True, it was a hard case that he killed the "boy" that shot Sim Oldun, but then it was done in cold blood. Boise had no jail at that, lime, so the murderer, Fred Bucking haujf alias Johnny Clark, was r ut into the Garrison jail. Que night the guard was bucked and gagged and Johnny was taken out. Three scantling wero set up in the main street (f the city, aud JoliDny was left dangling in the air. He had fought manfully, but of no avail, the three XX X told the tale. He was taken down by tho citizens of the town, and given a decent burial. Af terward, Nellie Clark, a woman of shaky morals, came up to Boise and had his remains taken up, ostensibly to take them to San Francisco. They went to Umatilla or Portland, or some place on the Columbia, where Nellie, coming across old rerd, was persuaded toaban don her old flame hence, the u corpse that Mitchell bought." But we had mounted the box by the side of " ma- VfiiSccnt James," a title in which the Irlver of the Overland Staac delighted Talk about your dress: James had a it vie peculiar to James alone, a half oiove-pipe hat, white kid glovs, boot; that were matchless, and pants that were Simply unapproachable, with a vest, well right hero is the grand conpc de eatal color, ot the very finest material in the broadcloth line, front of speckled fawn skin, really gorgeous, and James knew how to display it by putting out hischesc. It was hot, even sultry, but James stuck to that vest. In fact, ho tnfn.mnfl m ft TA? fl i fl T fc? fytl 1 fi r!Hl f I V fn !1 peculiar checkered place on the front J" it, with his left hand little fingcr,which, by the way, was coated pretty well with over with specimen rings, "you see my cheat is weak, and I am compelled to protect it." Hello, hero 'wo are at the Twelve Mile House, a low, rambling pile, built of balm logs, one story high, covered first with poles, then with rye grass, and then with mud, and it makes a good roof ; the chiucks arc stopped with a pole, and then straw and mud, smoothed nicely down and tho whole thing white washed. Hero we turn to the right, leaving Doise river, with its muddy current, its tall and graceful balms, its rich, narrow valleys, its tall rye grass, or hlackblue grass, waving like a sea iu a geutle wind. It brings a peculiar feeling over one to look upon a scene Iiko this, a dreamy feeling akin to love for the place, and yet a desire to get away. To look back it seems that everything is dead. No cattle, no houses, sight, nothing but tho ser pent-iik ; rttgth and coil of tho balm tree winding through the desert. The t-un beats down hotter aud hotter, the crickets keep up their everlasting chant and all tho ee sees is thousands of acres of s;sgo brush and sand, and now and then a trow Hying slowly over ti e waste with every feather distended aud beak open, almost su located with heat. See that track across the road, and see that oil' leader bound to one hide, and dash violently ahead, taking the whole couch ami sis with him, and neatly throwing fioni the upper boot a 300 lb A th AmeU'imenr, who having lult the brain had two ur:r fA b!r.vb(iiitirc a iliriiiifur . ri.nn-it! inr ! rill.

In marrying make your own match. Never marry a m:i3 to got rid of him Do not marry iu haste to repent-at leisure. J.)o not marry lor a home and a living, when thre are so many avenues for making both. Io not let parent or guardians marry you to suit themselves, for they cannot sutler for you tho life-long misery which may be in store for you. I)o cot place yourself habitually in the company of any suitor. (let away from them, make up your mtnd alone. when you arc cot, bewildered and when your head is cool. Many a young lady- has yielded to wild protestations and afterwards regretted it. Do not look to high lest you secure a companion who will desnise you. Do not marry in haste. Love can wait; tint which cannot wait is ol a liffercnt nature. Do not marry at the bidding of pa rents merely. Let the heart be firm'y fixed, and be sure you kuow what you are doing. Do not marry hastily against the wishes and counsel of friends, consider whether or not their objections arc well founded. Do not image that because you are miserable when you are away from your lover that you will always bo happy with him. The opposite will often be the case. During the recent tour in tho West, the Brothers Worthington gave an en tertainment in the town of Osborn, Mo , with McAllister's Stereoptican better known, probably, as the magic lantern and among other astronomical scones the galaxy was thrown upon the canvas. The younger brother, who was explain ing the scenes as they appeareJ, here remarked that he supposed it hardly necessary to inform the audience that the scene before them was the galaxy or milky-way, or as it was in some places the milk-maid's path. He was just go ing to give a discription of some of its most important features, when he wis interrupted by a would be smart youn man in the audience crying out, " Yes, yes; that is the nulk-maid's path, but where is the milk maid?" Turning quickly upon tho speaker, Mr. W. re plied : " She'll be here as soon as she finds the calf is out." It is needless to add that the calf subsided, amidst a roar of laughter from tho rest of the audi ence. An exchange relates that while the members of the republican convention were assembled at the Bates House, in Indianapolis, a visitor remarked to the bar keeper that he must bo making a fcooi thing out of the convention, to which the barkeeper replied, cursing the republicans, that his receipts had been only $25, adding, had it been a democratic convention he would have taken in $2,500 Marriage. At tho present time, when the mar riage relation q:cupi:s much of the public attention, tho following views ot the late Theodore Parker on this sub ject are not without interest: " Men and women, aud especially young pcoplo do not know that it takes years to marry two hearts- even ol the most loving and well assorted. Hut nature allows no sudden change. Wo slope gradually from the cradlo to the summit ot life. Marriage i gradual, a fraction of us at a time. A happy wed lock is a long lulling in love. 1 know young persons think love belongs only to the brown hair, and a plump, round, crimson cheek. So does for its be ginning, just as Mt. Washington begins at IJos ou buy. ut the golden mar riage is a put of Jove which the bridal day knows not him.: oT. Youth is the tassel and silken llutvcr of love, age is the full com, ripe and solid iu the car.

I t. ...... ...... .....1 .. lint, . nil ia'i 1 1 iiiu in u i i iik.v.., null rainbow side turned toward heaven as well as earth. Voting people 'marry iht-tr opt oites in temper and general eharaett-r, umI such a marriage is reu-. erally a good match. They do, it in .stiinrtively. The young man does not say my black eyes require to be wed with bine, and my over vehemence re quites to be a htt!c modified with some what ot dullness and reserve' When these ;!! o.-ites come together to b- wed I hey do n.it know it : each thinks the other just like itself. Old p-ople never marry their oppo site. ; they marry their similars, and from Ciih.-ulatiou. Kaeh of these two arrangements is very proper. In their long journey, these two young oppo site will fall out by tho way a great many tim-f and both get out of the road, but c itlt will charm the other back again, aud by and by they will be agreed as to the place they will go to aud the road they will go by, and bc eomo reconciled. Tho man will be nobler and 1 arget for being associated with so much humanity unlike himself, and she will be a nobler woman for hiving manhood beside her that seeks to correct her defi ciencies and supply her with what sho lacked, if the dtvcr.-iy be not too great, and there be real piety and love in their hearts to begin with. The old bride groom having a much shorter journey to make, must assueiato himself with one like himself. Men and women are married fractionally. Now a small frac tion, then a large fraction. Very few are married totally, and they only, I think, after some forty or fifty years of gradual approach aud experiment. Sueh a largo and complete fruit is a complete marriage that it needs a very long Sum mer to ripen in, and then a Irng winter to mellow and season it. But a real happy marriige of love and judgement between a noble man and woman, is one of the things so very handsome that if the sun were, as the (.J reek poets fabled, a god, ho might stop the world in or der to least his eyes on such a spec tacle." ! o Jluslncss Law. It is not 'legally necessary to say on a note " for value received." A note on Sunday is void. A note obtained by fraud, or from a person in a State of intoxication, can no be collected. If a note be lost or stolen, it docs not release the maker, ho must pay it. An endorser of a note is exempt from liabilities if not served with no tice of its dishonor, within twenty four hours of its non-payment. A note by a minor is void. Notes bear interest only when so stated. Principals are responsible for the acts of their agents, Each individual in partnership is re- , sponsible for the whole amount of the debt of the firm. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. It is fraud to conceal a fraud. The law compels no one to do impos sibilities, i An agreement without consideration is void. Signatures made with a lead pencil are good in law. A receipt for money paid is not le gally conclusive The acts' of one partner bind all oth crs. j Contracts made on Sunday cannot be enforced, j A contract made with a minor is void. j A contract raado with a lunatic is void. j Subscribo for the Kepuijlican. Agricultural. Tho proper time to pull hemp is any Friday tint a good judge may select. Castor-oil beans succeed best iu the bowels of the earth. They will soon work themselves out. Tho best preparation for hops is a toad or two in each hill. They will make the vinei fairly jump. The time to put in rye is early in the morning. Some husbandmen, especially tho in the city, continue to run it in at intervals of half an hour until bed lime. The practice is only allowable in case of a dry season. In reaping. wheat never take it by th? beard. It is found to go against trraiti. Buckwheat is not a healthy fuod. It is apt to cake upon the stomach. Cum iu the ear is apt to affect the heariug. If eaten green it will make the voice husky. When served out as army rations the kernel uhould alwavs be served first, and theu the mcu4 pri vately. Never plants your potatoes early. It is the early potato that gets the worm. It is up hill work with them alter that. Iu be certain of tho right kind of sriuushes compare them with your head. Iu adopting this rule I first mistook pumpkins for squashes: but bv coutin ucd, careful comparison, I soon learned to detect the difference. But for some uew login ners it requires great caution. In making cider out of upples I found it a pretty tight squeeze, notwithstand ing my long counocuoti with the press Never drink cider made from crab ap pies. It i.s pretty sure to " go back" ol you. A correspondent asks us what w think of lute plowing. Plowing nhould uot be continued later than ten or elevn o'clock at night. It gets the horses in the habit of itaying out late at night, and unduly exposes the plow. W e have known plows to acquire stringhult and intumatory rheumatism from late plow ing. Don't do it. 1 he cold weather should fugge.-t to every humane fWrncr the necessity for a i?ood cow shed. Ihe following is a good receipt for making a good cow shed : ' Pour a pailful of boiling water on her back, and it that don t make a good cow nhcd her hair wo are no prophet to anybody. ' W beu ou make Cider, select nothing but the soundest turnips, chopping them into sld lengths before craddling them. In boiling your cider use plenty of ice; aud when boiled hang it up to dry. io another correspondent who wants us to suggest a good drain on a farm, wc woul l say a heavy mortgage ten per cent. will drain it about as rapidly as anything we know of. In sowing your winter appie-jacK, a horse-rake will be found preferable to a steep ladder. Step ladders aic liable to frcezo up, and arc hardly palatable un less boiled iu sugar. A pick axe should never be ucd in picking apples It has a tendency to break down the vines aud damage the hives '- - - - Walter Scott, in a narrative of his personal history, gives tho following caution to youth : If it should ever fall to the lot of youth to peruse these pages, let such readers remember that it is with tho deepest regret that I recol lect in my manhood the opportunities of lcnrning which I neglected in my youth ; that through every part ot my literary career 1 have felt pinched and hampered by my own ignorance ; and I would this moment give half the repu tation that it has been my good fortune to acquire, if by doing so I could rest tho remaining part upon a souud foun dation of learning and science. The number of stars visible to tho naked eye, in the entire circuit of tho heavens, has been. usually estimated at about 0,000 ; an ordinary opera-glass will exhibit something like ten times that number ; a comparatively small tel escope easily shows 200,000; while there are telescopes in existence with which, there is reason to believe, that rot less than 25,000,000 star arc visible. . Try It, When, from sedentary habits, the muscles arc emaciated and the digestive system disordered, the best method for restoring tho paticut to health and full weight is for him to be charged with oleetriuty, applied through tho handle of a spade, a hoe, nn hx, or soiuo similar instrument' Apply it daily, and for some hours at a time.
