How to destroy Hawks.
A Correspondent of the Southern Planter,
writing from King William Cos. Virginia, sug
gests the following plan for catching hawks-
The information which I design presenting
to the public is too vitally important to poul
try and partridges to be undeserving of atten
tion Tho method which I shall suggest for
matching hawks is one which my own success
ful experience induces me to recommend to
every farmer. Let any tne, who wishes to try
it, buy a steel trap—(a size or two larger than
the oidinary steel trap for catching rats.) say,
with of s'xor eight inches across the
jaws when set Let this be baited with a par
tridge, dove, lark, or any bird that can be
conviently shot, and let it be placed where the
hawks make their appearance. 1 will warrant
that every one coming in sight of it will be
caught. The bird should be on the trap in as
natural and life like a position as possible, and
where there is stock in the field the trap
should be placed on a fence, or stake, out of
their reach. The hawk, seeing the bird,thinks
it alive, makes a swoop at it with ut further
investigation, and is caught. 1 have three or
sou •of these traps setting, and last winter I
caught 19 hawks, two minks, an owl and a cat;
which last, as she was caught at least a mile
from any human habitation, I was constrained
to consider a legitimate prize. During the
present winter, 1 have taken two owh, and
the good work is still progresing ‘by day and
by night.’ I 13 hoped that this communica
tion will induce others to take the field and
co-operate with the writer.
>lukc Home Pleasant for Little Boys.
Much has been Slid about the rights and
wrongs of women, and volumes of complaints
have been uttered against men for the unjust
and selfish laws they have made, but as long
as boys arc subjected to tyranny, injustice and
oppression at home, so long w 11 the ineqality
ot the rights and privileges of men and women
be felt It is natural for man to be avenged
of his adversary, and in this case co-tom has
placed the means ol avenging himself in his
own hands I have one boy in m mind now,
and there are hundreds treated like him, who
never sees a moments happiness at home, arid
fairly dreads the hour of meal time, because of
the scoldings, and fret.ings, and fault-findings
that always greet him when he enters tiie
house. His sisters call him an awkward, ugly
boy; make cruel sport of him by mimiking his
ways, laughing at his untidy clothes, his smut
ty Stands and face; and his mother calls him
a vagabond, a scapegrace, and tells him in al
most every other breath, that he is killing her
and his father, fairly breukiug their hearts
with his nudut.ful beheavior. He has heard
this over and over so many times that he has
t.lmost come to believe that he is the wicked
*est boy alive, he hates himself, aid looks and
acts as mean as he feels. He told me one day
that he did riot sec how men could ever want
to be boys again, and wished he could grow to
be a man in one day,so that he could go where
he liked, and get out of the way of the w omen
folks.
When this boy does grow to manhood, what j
inducement will he have to yield any rights j
that he can command, to woman ? What,
chords in his bosom will ever vibrate with ten- j
dor memories at the name of Mother ? Or
what recollections, of a sister's love will ever
prompt him tocacrifice selfiritercst for woman's
suko ? ,
Mothers and sisters, if you would have men
generous, noble hearted, willing to grant all
the privileges your womanhood has a right to
ask, teach them first to love you while they
arc little boys; contribute to their happiness
taen, protect their rights, shew yourselves
worthy of their respect, and if you ever have
(cowton to ask their protection, you will not
asx in- \ain. —Michigin Fanner.

Mormon Abomination.
The habeas corpus case of Mr. J ivis, who
: followed his runaway wife and children from
! England to-this country, and now seeks (o ob
j tain possession of tl e latter, Was i vestigated
on Tuesday by Judge Peabody;. Tne evidence
j given was wish reference lo the a Hedged bru
tal treatment of children by the Mormons.—
I Mr. Murray, one of the employees at Castle
j Garden, testified that.-he had seen a number
lof children dying, and no attention paid to
them, either before or after death. On one oc
! easion he saw a line child, about four or five
years old, in the agin ie of death f>r <i whole
day, and no person paid any attention to it
whatever, arid, after is was dead, one of th -
Mormors mounted a box or chair,and address
ed his bretlern and sisters in these words:
All we can say about it is, we vill have one
| pig leis to feed.’
Sergent W. Gammon, of the U S. Army,
certified that he had been eight months with
the Mormons in Salt Lake City He gave
some disgusting details of the practices there.
He had known a bro-.hcr married to hF own
sister —ho was Sexton in the T .imply. Brig
ham Young had forty-nine wives when he was
there; ana heard hiursny in the tabernacle
that he wonl 11 ave his childreu marry each

Parsnips for Stock.
The Prairie Farmer of March 27th, in a
valuable article on the Parsnip, says: It is
excellent ns food for horses, cattle and swine.
It is more nutritious than the carrot. The
I winter butt -r from the cows of Jersey and
Guernsey, fed on the parsnip, is almost as rich
in flavor and color, as when they are fed in pas
tures. It bears fro-t well If left in the
ground all winter, it will be good in the spriug.
