Mrs. Bradley, wife of one of the in cendiaries, turned State's evidence, and shvo the following account: "The crime was committed by Cannon and Bradley, with n knowledge of her self. They made a roll of cotton and saturated it with coal oil. This was put through a knot hole, into the hay, apd a string used as a fuse, being lighted from the out-ido. Cannon was arrested Fiiday night and is in the Hi ppner jail. The woman gave tho thing away in the hope that she would save her husband. Bradley is a car penter who lives in Iexington, anil has the reputation of being a bad man. ltisieported that since his trial he has confessed the crime, and accused two other mui of being his accom plices. .Several cf these parties have skipped out, as has alto Bradley's wife. Bradley, it is taid, made the statement that he would not go the penitentiary alone. The suspected incendiary barly etcaped bavins his neck stretched.

All those whom we have heard express themselves, speak highly of the new organization and we extend our congratulations to tho order. Defictivh Law. It linn been dis cover d ihat the stock law passed by the late legislature is defective in some particulars, says the .Salem Slulemnait. The law provides that when any stock is ascertained by an inspector to bo alllicted by some in fectious or contagious disease, it shall be his duty to place them in iptarau tine, and then to notify the governor or other stale jstock officer of such quaiantine. Gov. Pennoyer has re ceived several such notifications, with requests for instructions as to what to do furthur. The law, however, is wanting in instructions as to what shall be the governor's duty in the premises, and has left him without, any power in the matter whatever. In the absence of nnv explicit direct ion, stock inspectors will lie compelled to assume all responsibility of the dis position of diseased stock. There is no doubt that, though the law is want- inj in this respect, they would bo sustained in so doing. The Nkw Staoi: Link. Tho Cornu copia stage goes out and comes in loaded each trio. People in Cornu- conia desiring to go to Baker citv. find it more convenient and more convenient and cheaper to come down to Union in one day over a pleasant road, and tul;n the train from here to Buker, than going on tho Bftkt'i stage direct, tho route of which is over barren alkali plains, and two days travel. That the Cornucopia jxioplo who desire to go to Baker, will go via Union is evidenced by the large number who have already done so. A Mourci. Dfx.
