MACON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1863.
A nOCSTOX COUNTY PLASTER'S KX-
PKRIKSCE I.V THE USE OF FERTIL
IZERS.
One of oar friends in Houston county, a
very intelligent and energetic man, told ns
yesterday that since tlie war, he had been
cultivating two hundred acres io cotton upon
land, the natural capacity of which was
about fifty Hale?. His neighbors, cultivating
sim’lar lands \yithmit manure had harvested
at about tat rate. He himself had steadily
invested otfe thousand dollars per adnum in
fertilizers, rind had gathered in consequence,
one hundred bales of cotton from the two
hundred nares. He estimated the additional
cotton seed he had gathered as worth at
least one-bjdf the amount expended for fer
tilizers. Now let us balance accounts for the
present year on this statement between 200
acres fertilized and 200 without the use of
manures. !

THE FIRST SHIP OF THE CHARLESTON
AND LIVERPOOL DINE.
The Charleston Courier of Monday an
nounces the clearance of the Golden Horn,
the first steamship of the line to Liverpool
from that port. The capacity of the ship
was-8%00 bales, and her cargo was 2558 bales
uplands and 188 bales Sea Islands, Caro
lina, Georgia and Alabama were represented
in the freight, and the good ship went to sea
with moderate draft and in fine trim. Suc
cess to her and many happy and prosperous
returns and departures.
Decline in American Ship building.—
A New York paper calls attention to the fact
that all the American shipyards are almost
absolutely idle. The ship builders of England
and the continent aave run them down by
doing cheaper and letter work. The conse
quence is our commerce in that direction is
on the decline. We boasted a few years ago
that our sails whitened every sea aud ourfiag
was unfurled upon every breeze. So long as
people were contented to wait upon the slow
motion of sailing vessels, we mustered a large
ocean mercantile fleet. But sailing vessels
now belong in tlu same category with ox
carts and last year's almanacs. The British
beat us badly building steam vessels. Per fide
Albion ! He is now, as in Napoleon’s day,
master of the sea. The American, like the
Frenchman, has failed to wrest it from him.
Foreign Immigration to the South.—
The Charleston Courier says the estimate, by
the last census, shows that, while in the
Eastern and Northwestern States the foreign
born population is less than one-eighth of
the native white and the born free colored in
the Union, it is about one-fifth in the Middle
States, one-twentieth in the Southwest, and
less than one-fiftieth in the South.
VIOLENCE AND I’LTRAISM.
The New York Commercial Advertiser of
the 21st introduces a Telegraph editorial
to the public with the remark that the Ma
con Telegraph is one of the most ultra and
violent papers in the South, but is getting
better since the election. We are glad to
hear it. We like to get better as we grow
older, and have little respect for that class of
mortals whose shells thicken and tempers
become obdurate under the thumps of expe
rience.
But against the judgment of the Commer
cial Advertiser to the contrary, we must
plead not guilty to the charge of violence at
any period of our history. The violent man
and the ultraist is r.trer right. Even in a
good cause he is a poor and wrong advocate.
He is of little use and of much mischief wher
ever you place him.
The Latins embodied the experience of
mankind up to their day in the familiar ad
age “In medio tatissimis ibis”—which may
be liberally rendered “Safety lies in modera
tion and to this day the maxim stands in
all its original and universally admitted force
and truth, though so many are inclined prac
tically to disregard it.
The sagacity of Georgia has incorporated
it in her State motto—“Wisdom—Justice—
Moderation”—the brat-considered State motto
in America. Moderation is the vital atmos
phere of wisdom and justice, without which
both would as surely perish as the human or
ganism would perish in the mephitic gas of
an unventillatedcavern.
It is the cement of society—without which
all would be 5d chaos, and there would he
neither harmony nor order in the family, in
the church, in the State, or among nations.
Moderation enters so largely into the constitu
ent elements of wisdom and justice that it is
impossible to define the limitation, and the
three combined make up the grand sum total
of all that is desirable in the administration
of human affairs and the regulation of human
conduct. There is food for much thought
and study in the State motto of Georgia, had
we time to pursue the subject
We have tried, and shall ever try, to regu
late the conduct of the Telegraph by this
motto, and when we find we cannot give the
people an attractive newspaper without ma

violence, and so stimulating the same low and
devilish propensities in their minds, we wiH

WHAT SOUTHERN MEN SHOULD DO.
The Mobile Tribune of Saturday says that
Carraway, a negro member of the Alabama
Legislature from Mobile, is Chairman of a
Committee appointed to fix a day for the
election of members of the 41st Congress from
that State, and recommends that the Demo
cratic candidate for that District “be the most
available Degro we can find, regardless of his
politics.” The Tribune says:
Cotton Up.—Cotton was up yesterday in
Liverpool—eleven pence and an eighth with
20,000 sales. Lively iD New York at 25 oeuts.
A pretty good time to sell now.
Homicide in Dooly.—A note from Dooly
says: “ Tom Coley killed Ran Thompson on
Monday last, IGtb—both negroes, living on
the .plantation of Erastus J. Bryan, of this
county. Coley gave leg bail, and has cleared
Dooly of expenses.”
The Charleston Mercury.—The Charles
ton Courier of Monday contains the follow
ingeerd, signed by R. B. Rhett, Jr., propri
etor of the Mercury:
CircnmvtiiLces beyond my control have
c n:sed the suspension of the Charleston Mer
cury. But , the public should not be led to
the conclusion that the paper is extinct.
Measures are afoot for issuing it again on a
substantial -basis. And it is expected to put
it forth in a style that will satisfy every re-
quiremeatof a first class Southern newspaper.
Rorw in Athens.—A letter from the editor
of the Atlanta Intelligencer to that paper,
dftt-yl Athens, Ga., last Sunday, says:
A very regrettable difficulty took place yes
terday evening in this town, between Mr.
Knox, agent of the Frecdmea’s Burean, and
Mr. Tom Frierson, a young man belonging to
ono of the most respectable families in Athens,
which resulted in Mr. Knox shooting Mr.
Frierson in the leg just above the knee, in-
ilietiug a severe if not dangerous wound.
The cause of the collision is not very well
understood. It is reported, however* that
some misunderstanding has existed between
the parties for some time, and that angry
messages have passed between them; but
nothing serious occurred until yesterday,
when Knox shot Frierson on the stair-case
leading to Knox’s office. Mr. Knox was
promptly arrested by the municipal author
ities, to whom he readily submitted, and a
lormal examination will take place to-mor
row.
The negroes were very much excited all
last night, and paraded 'the streets with
bludgeons, old swords and crazy firelocks cf
various descriptions, determined to door die
in defense of Knox, whom nobody threatened
to assail, and against whom there was no ap
parent excitement or ill will.
Mr. Knox is said to have telegraphed im

A Georgia Plantation in Good
Order.
The Ne3tor of the Atlanta Intelligencer,
who is rusticating awhile in the Black Belt,
sends the following to his paper—the Intel
ligencer, of the 19th :
Daring a short visit to the delightful town
of Washington, Wilkes county, during court
week, I had the good fortune to visit the
plantation of Samuel Barnett, Esq, who is
so well and favorably known to the citizens
of Georgia as an eminent lawyer, on accom
plished financier, an able scholar, and a good,
benevolent and useful citizen. Since the
state of Mr. Barnett’s health has compelled
him to abandon the active practice of his
profession, and to some extent has deprived
him of the enjoyment of books, he has de
voted himself to agriculture; and, applying
himself to that pursuit with the same ardor
and systematic perseverance which he has
brought to everything he has undertaken, he
has succeeded admirably; and if he continues
in the way on which lie has entered with
such good promise, Mr. David Dickson, of
Hancock county, will have to look out for
his laurels as the Napoleou of cotton pro
ducers.
By thorough preparation of the soil and
careful and timely culture, with compara
tively little manure, Mr. Barnett has raised a
heavy bale of cotton to the acre on a consid
erable part of the land planted, and on his
whole crop will gather at the rate of 80 to 85
bags to every 120 acres planted. The land is
good upland, but of the same quality as the
generality of the lands in Wilkes county, and
with the'old method of plowing and after
culture, would produce at the outside about,
500 or G00 lbs. of seed cotton. He used seed
carefully selected by himself, which from
the smallness of the limbs and the num
ber of bolls which grow close round the
stalk, I call the “ cluster cotton,” equal in*
quality and length of fibre to the best “Dick
son” cottoD, and superior, in my judgment,
to any cotton I have ever seen in the quan
tity it yields to the stalk. Planted with the
rows from 8 1-3 to 4 feet opart, and from six
to eight inches apart in the row, it will yield
certainly on good laud in an ordinary year
from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds of seed cottou to
the acre, and with an application of 200 to
250 pounds of “ Dickson’s Mixture” (Peru
vian Guano, dissolved bones, salt and land
plaster,) it will yield a good bag per acre be
yond a doubt, provided the land is thor
oughly ploughed, sub-soiled and cultivated
I was much struck by the perfect system
with which Mr. Barnett manages his planta
tion. Every field in cultivation is carefully
surveyed and a map made of it for reference
and guidance in the operations of the farm.
The fences and gates are in perfect repair.
The buildings are in good order. There is
a place for everything and everything is in
its place, and a book is kept of the daily
work on the plantation, showing the proper
mode of culture for each crop with notes of
the latest improvements in implements, way
of using them, time, etc.
Mr. Barnett contemplates making some ex
periments with different sorts of manure in
various quantities and in different relative
values, which will be a very valuable contri
bution to agriculture when the result is made
known, as he never guesses at anything, or
leaves others to guess for him.
far as the white population and the civil an
tborities arc concerned, I can see no possible
need of military interference. The former
have no feeling in the matter but one of re
gret that the peace and good order of the
town have been disturbed, and of sympathy
with the wounded young man and his family,
and the authorities are resolved to do their
whole duty and vindicate the law.
Mr. Knox need no: dread any personal vio
lence or popular vengeance. He is as safe
in the hands of the Mayor and police as if
be was at home in Michigan, and if there be
any danger of a riot it must be among the
negroes, who have teen very wickedly ex
cited by the indiscreet friends of Mr. Knox.
Tbe whole commtnity regrets the occur
rence, and if Mr. Knox reports the exact
state of the case he must admit that during
his stay here in the discharge of his odious
duties, he hes bnd no just cause of offense
against the people except »t be the entire
unanimity with which they oppose the poli
tics of Mr. Knox and his ill judged advice
toward the negroes.

A Good Twenty Acre Lot of Cotton.
That excellent periodical for planter?, tbe
Southern Cultivator, has the following letter
about a good twenty acre field of cotton.
Planter, go thou and do likewise. "What is
the reason you cannot do as well as Mr.
Dickson 1
The following description of a twenty acre
lot, planted in cotton, by Mr. David Dickson,
of Hancock, wiil be interesting and probably
instructive to many of our readers who are
devoted to cotton culture.
The land is tolerably level, and for pine
land is pretty stiffi with good substratum of
clay ; has been in cultivation for sixty or
seventy years, aud for the last two years
planted in cotton. Mr. Dickson commenced
the preparation at 10 o’clock on the morn
ing of 3iay 4-lb, by running a scooter furrow
in the middles, and following in the same
furrow with a long shovel, both going as
deep as possible, and making a furrow about
eight inches deep.
Tbe manure was proportioned as follows:
guano 1G0 pounds, dissolved bones 240
pounds, salt 100 pounds, land plaster 160
pounds—thouroughly mixed, and cost on the
place sixteen dollars. This quantity was ap
plied to each acre, by being deposited in the
bottom of the eight inch furrow and covered
with a long scooter, running as deep as pos
sible on each side—this turrow was sided
with a good turn plow, followed by a long
scooter, ranning in the bottom -of the same
furrow.
The old cotton stalks were then plowed up
with a long shovel This completed the pre
paration. The cotton planting was com
menced May 7th and finished May 10th.
Until May 20th, the weather was excess
ively wet; May 29th, light rain ; June 20th,.
light rain ; July 29th to August 4th, showery,
sufficient to make one good rain; August
29tb. heavy rain, with more or less rain every
day for a week.
Seven sweep furrows and one good hoeing
completed the cultivation. The seed were
of the David Dickson (of Oxford) variety
and have been twice selected by Mr. Dickson
The worms have eaten off the foliage and
young bolls, but notwithstanding tbe injury
by drought, and the ravages of the worms,
the yield is from one to two bales per acre—
the best portion being where there was most
vegetable mould.
This description, Messrs. Editors, with but
few changes, will apply to Sir. Dickson's en
tire cotton crop. Some fields are not ma
nured quite so highly, (Cuffee is very much
opposed to manures) but they are all culti
vated alike, and in proportion to manure
used, with the same wonderful success. The
very general impression that Mr. Dickson’s
princely domains are level sand beds is very
erroneous. He has every variety of soil,from
clay to sand, and his surface is* exceedingly
broken, and in many places very rocky. Yet
his system of preparation and cultivation is
applied to all, with the same marvellous suc
cess. Failure is a word he ignores entirely,
provided he can get Cufiee to half follow his
directions.
Mr. Dickson’s corn crop is very fine, but he
has so many cribs lull of corn, made two or
three years ago, that he does not seem to be
half as much interested in lookin-r at a fine
field of corn as he doe3 at a dense and
heavy growth of weeds on his fields ly
ing ont at rest. To the skeptic it is only
necessary to pay a flying visit to Mr. Dick
son’s princely domains, tDjoy his princely
hospitality, see the evidence of his wonder
ful success, and be convinced that he is re
ally a Prince among planters.

Cigars and Cigar making In Manilla.
We take the following from a Manilla let
ter in the Chicago Tribune:
After a deal of trouble and coaxing I suc
ceeded in obtaining permission to visit tbe
cigar manufactories. Manilla cigars have a
world-wide reputation for being what
Americans call “ cheap and nasty,” and in
order to show my countrymen how near they
are to the mark, I will describe what I saw
during my visit. The buildings occupied by
the cigar makers are all one-storied affairs;
large, and, at first glance, seemingly capa
cious enough, bpt, in reality, crowded to ex
cess by the multitudes of people employed.
They are assessed by the Government, and
the benefits derived from the manufacture of
cigars accrue to the State, which enjoys a
monopoly, and punishes very severely any
encroachments upon its reserved rights. The
first building we entered was about two hun
dred feet long hy one hundred and fifty feet
wide, and contained three rooms running the
entire length of the building. In these rooms
were employed somewhere in the neighbor
hood. of twentv-fivo hundred women and
girls, from the age of infancy to one which
cannot, with safety, be estimated. All these
people are natives of the island—a large
number of them the mistresses or offispring
of petty officials. When we entered, they
were all busily engaged in making cigars of
an inferior description; for be it knowD, that
even in Manilla cigars there are three grades,
which may be compared a3 follows: “Posi
tive bad, comparative badder, superlative
baddest.” The tobacco is of a very poor
quality; it is grown on the island on planta
tions,carried on by the Government,which em
ploys criminal labor to perform the neces
sary tillage. This tobacco is weak, almost
tasteless, or having a sickening taste. There
is not as much strength in a pound of it as
there i9 in a “chaw” of Virginia niggerhead.
The mode of making the cigars differs mate
rially from that pursued in the United States.
The younger girls take the tobacco from a
tub or vat, in which it has been soaked, and
strip it from the stems, then toss it into a
pile, from whence it is taken by another set
of manipulators who sort it carefully laying
aside all that is suitable for wrappers ot the
various grades, and putting that which is
only used for filling into boxes half filled with
water saturated with saltpetre. Another set
of operators carry the assorted tobacco into
the other rooms where it is placed before the
cigar makers. One set of girls select the fill
ing and arrange it in proper order; another
set trim the wrappers, a third roll the wrap
per about the filling, while a fourth stand by
with their fingers in a pot containing a paste
or mucilage manufactured from a plant which
grows in luxuriance on the island. At the
proper time she, with a dexterous wipe, ap
plies the gummy substance to the edge of
the leaf, and the operator, by a peculiar twist
of the wrist, brings the edge down upon the
cigar, and casts it into a basket upon the op
posite side of the table. A fifth set of opera
tives take the cigars from this basket and
trim them—in some instances cutting off both
ends, and in others only one. A sixth set
count the cigars into bunches of ten, tieiog
them with little strips of colored paper.
’ They are then packed in boxes of five hun
dred each, ancl conveyed to the Government
warehouse, from which, after they have at
tained a certain age. they are sold. There
are eight or ten manufactories, and I am in
formed that there is between twenty and
twenty five thousand women and girls em
ployed in this branch of trade, receiving for
their labor about seven cents per day.
The Government, as I have*already stated,
has all the manufactories under its control,
and therefore enjoys a monopoly ot the trade,
but unlike most monopolies, it docs not com
pel the purchaser to pay enormous prices for
them. On the contrary, the prices arc mod
erate, being fixed by a Board of Commis
sioners, who also enforce a rule to the effect
that only such a number shall be sold - to any
one purchaser, unless for exportation. Where
they are sold for the latter purpose, an ex
port duty is also added to the cost, aud it
is just as difficult to take a bos of cigars on
board a vessel in the harbor as it is to con
vey contraband articles ashore. Yet custom
house officers in Manilla are cast in the same
dies that officials in other lands are, and
they become blind to little things upon an
application of a small amount of golden
salve to the palm of the hand.
The cigar makers are mostly young Da
tives; some of them are really pretty, but
the majority are miserably ugly and insuf
ferably dirty. While at work, they are al
most nude, wearing only a narrow breech
cloth about their hips; but at the close of
the day, after their work has been done,
they put on a loose gown of highly colored
calico, or a white one, made from a native
grass, and saunter forth, looking as important
as if they were members of the aristocracy;
and in fact they are, for all persons employed
by the Government take rank above those in
the same grade who are unfortunate enough
to be in business for themselves, or have to
labor for some private citizen. Caste is a
great thing, and I begin to appreciate it;
the man who blacks the Governor’s boots
would harcily be caught speaking on terms
of equality to the merchant who sold them.
Oh, no; he considers a tradesman beneath
him. Again I say, great thing is caste.

Falling Off in Cotton Receipts.—A com
parison of the cotton receipts at Macon up to the
15th of November, 1S67, with the receipts up to
the same date this year, shows a falling offin tnc
receipts of the present year of 3,978 bales. On tho
15th of November, 1867, Middlings sold in Macon
at 14 cents; same date this year they sold at 21%
cents.
"We can hardly account for this great difference
in receipts, at this point, the present season, un
less it is owing to the fact that many planters who
shipped their cotton to Macon for storage and
sale, have sent it this year direct to Savannah and
New York. We all know that the season opened
early ibis year, and cotton came forward with a
rush, and receipts were much in excess during the
first weeks of September, over those cf September,
1867; and while the receipts at New Orleans, Mo
bile, Savannah, and other points, are in earn this
year over those of last, we have a deficit in Macon
of 4,000 bales.
Many of our planters and warehousemen say that
one-half the crop has already been received. Some
assert that the receipts amount to more than one-
half. Up to last Saturday night it footed up
35,678 bales as a grand total. Assuming that it is
half in, then we will get 49,356 bales, or in round
numbers 50,000 against 80,000 last year, showing a
deficiency of 30,000 at this point alone.
We are glad to see It again rallying aud rising.
It is indeed a gratifying fact that our planters will
get more money for this than last year’s crop,
although not near as much has been raised. And
we may draw the legitimate corrollary from this
that we are to have plenty of money, plenty of
trade, and flush times generally.

Go it, Cotton !—After several weeks ol dull
ness and depression, cotton took a sadden and ex
traordinary bound forward yesteiday, closing in
the afternoon firm at 22% cents. This is the best
news we publish this morning, and will gladden Bank of Chester
the heart of every reader of the Telegraph. The
planter is no less interested in Retting a good price
lor our great staple than are we all. It has a direct
effect upon every conceivable branch of industry
and trade in Georgia.
We nope the present advance will be steadily
maintained to the close of the season, and if there
is any 'change at all that it will he for the better.
It wa3 about this time that speculators supposed
it would touch its minimum value, all admitting
that it would then go higher. This advance is es
pecially gratifying to us, for this journal has
steadily maintained that the planters were entitled
to more than twenty cents for their crop. This
was a legitimate conclusion, based upon the law of
demand and supply. We never could see anything
else, after turning and twisting the subject mos t
thoroughly.
The news from Liverpool looks like a dash is to
be made hy speculators at the whole crop.

Large vs. Small Farms.
The American Farmer states that large
farms appear to be attracting the attention
of agriculturists. Two wealthy, enterprising
gentlemeD of Harrison county, Ohio, have
purchased a township 6 miles square in Ne
braska, of Government land, and propose to
convert the whole into one grand farm of
23,040 acres. They intend to enclose it
with a hedge of osage orange, 24 miles in
extent, and will put *up crop hedges twelve
miles in length. All the most approved ag
ricultural machinery will be used. It will re
quire 20,000 bushels of wheat to seed such
farm. Large farms can be cultivated with
more net profit to the proprietor than small
ones; yet, according to the present system of<
management, small farms return the most
profit. The reason lor this is, that a farmer
with only a small number of acres is more apt
to till belter, manure more bountifully, and
perform every operation more thoroughly
than if he were required to work double the
number of acres. It a farmer, for example,
work twenty acres, he must necessarily keep
a good team, and as complete an assortment
ot tools and farm implements as if he were
cultivating fifty acres. A good team will per
form all the labor on a farm of fifty acres, and
require very little more care and feed than if
they performed only the labor on a twenty-
acre farm. Taking this view of the subject,
it will be perceived that it cost3 compara
tively more to carry on a small farm than a
large one. But the chief argument against
large farms is that fanners are liable to work
over a great breadth of land, without doing
every part of the cultivation thoroughly.
The man with a small farm will make more
manure, in comparison to his neighbor who
cultivates twice as much land as himself.
For this reason the farmer who has tile great
est breadth of cultivable acres, will not usually
raise as bountiful crops as if he tilled only
half of tho amount of land. A thorough
going farmer may cultivate fifty acres with
as satisfactory profit, acrefor acre, as he can
till twenty, if fie manage judiciously.

Ekmabkaele Preservation of Human
Bodies.—Tho bodies that were recovcrdfrom
the central shaft of the Hoosic tunnel were in a
remarkable state of preservation. They had
lain at the bottom of the shaft for a year, lack
ing a day or so, and all but one were recognized
by their friends. It would seem from the ap
pearance of the bodies (hat they must have
known of their peril some time before death.
One of the men was partially undressed, and
anotner had his hands over his face. These
bodies, six in number, werc-brought to the sur
face hy the disturbance of the water in bailing.
Seven more lie beneath the eighty feet of water
that yet remain in the shaft.

The Prince and Princess of Wales.—A

that tlie Prince and Princess of Wal_e3 will
leave' England about the middle of Novem
ber upon their projected journey to tbe East.
Their Royal Highness, we are told, will pro
ceed, in the first place, to Paris, and thence
to Germany and Denmark. Afterwards
Greece .will be visited, and a portion of Asia
Minor; and it is the intention of the illus
trious travelers to sail up the Nile as far as

Suspicious.—Three well-dressed, but a little
dingy looking, young men came to this city on
Monday night, about IX o’clock, and stopped at
the Planters’ Hotel. They came in, doubtless, on
foot, as no trains are due at that hour ol the night,
and they were quite dusty about the feet and legs,
One registered himself as from Chicago, another
from New Orleans, and the third from Mobile, and
desired to occupy the -same room together. Yes
terday they received a telegram which, apparently,
gave them much alarm and uneasiness, and after
few moments consultation in the back yard of the
hotel, they returned to the hotel office, paid their
bills and left hurriedly as they came, on foot.
They had no baggage but seemed to have plenty of
money. Their actionsduring their stay at the hotel
were very suspicions if they are honest men, to
say the least of it.
Since the (oregoingwasin type, Col. Cummings,
our Chief oi Police, received a telegram instruct
ing him to arrest a certain party, thought to be
this city, fqr the murder of a man in Pike county,
Ala. We have no doubt that one of the three men
above alluded to is the murderer. Our police are
after them with a vim, and we may expect to hear
of their arrest to-day, when we shall give names
and full particulars.
Bishop Beckwith has become a permanent cit-

is to bo built on High street for him by members
of his congregation.

Planchette.—This somewhat singular meehan
ical construction has about played out. It had
short life. There is no doubt that it is a combina
tion of wood and mctalic substances more or less
affected by electricity. The human body being
more or less surcharged with it, a touch of tho
hand will make Planchette move. The mind will
impart something of a governing force, resulting
in crude chirograpby and the spelling of a familiar
word. The notion that it contains any inate in
telligence, or that i3 played upon by the spirit of
a defunct or unseen body, is all stuff and nonsense.
That idea belongs to ghosts and hobgoblins, which
live upon ignorance and starve when in contact
with intellect. There never was euch a thing as
a ghost and never will he, but nevertheless, if a
man goes oat to look for one he will be certain to
findit. •. .
fix Got It.—A “ poor, down-trodden child of
Ham” stole a fine ham yesterday evening from the
store of Jones, Baxter & Day, on Cotton Avenno,
and made good his escape with it. Let U3 enter
tain the charitable belief that he was only making
preparations to have a good time on Thanksgiving
Day. If he succeeds in eluding the thief-grabbers
oi the police, he will have not only a good dinner
to-morrow but additional cause for giving thanks.
