EXECUTION OF CORA AND UASRY— DOINGS OF THE VI GILA vo;-: CO MMITTi:E.

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. are like watches—pretty enough to look at—sweet fa es and delicate hands, but somewhat difficult to “rerulate’ when once set *'agoing.” Mormon Abomination. The habeas corpus case of Mr. J ivis, who : followed his runaway wife and children from !

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.

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. its a.Ji has 36 per cent, potash. Wood ash make a good manure for it. It is more hardy and less liable to dieasa an l to insects, than the carrot It may he sown, says the Albany Cultivator , iu the fall - Dcmiisaiad tiie Postmaster. “Hillo!

He opened the episde and read, with a good deal of difficulty, three interesting pages con. ceruing Dennis’folks and affairs in old Ireland the said Dennis with both legs turned on the I same side of the saddle, listened all the while with becoming meekness and gratitude. “M ueh obliged to ver honor, for throublin’ yourself and consumin’ yer vnlyble time with | the like of me and m ! ne : how much ought be the postage of my lettl.er ?” “Fifty rents, sir.” “Avery reasonable price for such a comfor tin’ lefther ; but as I could never think of axin yer worship to credit the likes of me. yo may jist keep the hither for pay.” Correction.—The National American falls i into an error to which we call its attention, land which has-also found its way i to other ! presses The paragraph c munync ** thus: ; “The Columbia (S.
