A Western Claude Duval-Bemark able CBf.er cf a Young Thiet Tito Kat.sa* City Bulletin, of the 21st lilt.. relates the following: There airbed at the Union Depot, yesterdiy morning, from Cheyenne, eve.rely ironed, and under care of r. United States detective, named T. S. Gleuden, ??f Cincinnati, one of tlie mod daring boy ini|*ostors ever caught by the authorities. His name is said to be Dennis Harrison, and lie is the * youngest soli of a machinist living in Columbus, Ohio. At an early age. the boy developed a vicious disposition, and was detected in an attempt to rob the United States mail car on the Pan Handle Road. For this offence lie was sent to the House of Refuge. Finding tlio accommodations of this establishment unsuitable to his fas'.idous taste, be made sncli earn est protestations of piety and repentance, that be was allowed to return to i?is parents at Columbus. Here be again developed bis vj. cions instincts by beating his mother, setting fire to the bouse and running, away. The next heard of him lie is enlisted as a bugler in a cavalry regiment, en route to the Rocky tVoiintnins.? -Ilere he proved himself such an inCorrigible young thief, that after one year's service in the guard house, lie was drummed out of the army at Fort Laramie. lie was 8<>on afterward taken, disguised ss an Indian, in an attack upon a supply train, together with another uldte renegade, who was forthwith hung to a tree. Harrison was spaiedon account of his youth, and taken to Fort Halleck, whence he soon Afterward escajied. Il<e became acquainted in Denver with a desperate gang of stage robbers, and took part in their attacks npon the overland mails in 1804-5. lie soon after left the West and returned home to Ohio, and joined the Methodist Church. | lie became acquainted with a voung country girl and married lier, but deserted bor soon after.? lie became a brgkemati on the Central Ohio Railroad, but was discharged for laziness, lie was marri.fd again in Zanesville, and was arrested in Newafk forsednc tioii, but managed to escape the deluded victim, with some ot $900 In money. ; tie came to Kansas City in tbe winter of 1867, and, assuming the pharactcr of a wayward son of a wealthy banker East, and made his way into good society* both here and'at Wyandotte. Being goodlooking and free with money, he 44 took well," ami became engaged to two of Kansas City's fair daughters. lie remained here a brief period, and lett tbe city and a respectable family in Wyandotte; cursing liim and bis deception.? 11 is next scene ot rascality was at a counterfeiter's den in Houston street. Now Yofk. Here he became acquainted with the thieves, gamblers and counterfeiters, and being naturally smart and intelligent, soon becamo a leader of his fellow-criminals. He established a saloon, which became the headquarters of all the counterfeiters and "shovers ot .the queer" in the country, and in duo time be came an,expert in the business".? When the counterfeit $50 Treasury notes first mads tl*ir appearance, he " shoved " seventeen of them in one day, purchasing a sufficient ntriftlltlt /.f oliUl.illrt tn aimnlu liim fc ""yyj Keif and mistress Tor over two years. Shortly after this, lie became one of the leaders of qnc of the worst gangs of counterfeiters in the United States, and was connected with tho stealing of certain pla'es from the United States Trea sury office. Iti 1866, the gang to which he belonged went, into the fractional currnncy business, and to them the country is indebted for the innumerable fifty and tweutvfive cent notes with which every community, Enfit and Went, were flooded, and it was while in this business that he was detected. In Nov em Ivor,, 1869. his gang had agents in all parts of tho country, to who they sent their worthless currency tor circulation. His boldness getting the better of bis discretion, he was detected and arrested by Colonel Wood, Chief Detective of the Treasury Department. escaped from a train from the Now York and Albany Railroad, and tnade the best of bin time and started West, lie has made some successful hauls, and scattered 'Mho queer" in Omaha and St. Joseph, and was traced up and arrested a few days ago upon a train between Cheyenne and Denver. A Sudden Marriage. T-. . I!..l . .1 - ' iu u nine iowd in mo coumv 01 Marion, Missouri, a few duys ago, a curious Wedding took place, and tTTTJ pTCttntlntirf^v ^ n I important event are thus described : Mr. Joseph Chipmun anil Miss Nann'C llutcliison engaged in a game of forfeits?that is \o say, they agreed to do certain things which, it not copied by the other party, was to subject the one refusing, to the payment of a specified forfeit. Doth, by the way, were engaged for marriage to other parties. Joseph declared that ho ooiild hont. Ndiinv ilioi very day by getting married.? Nanny retorted, that he could not run into greater danger on the matrimonial track than she was willing to do. Neither was willing to give in, or retreat an inch, and each vowed that there would be a wedding that night unless the other withdrew. It happened that no clergyman lived nearer than Emerson, a town four miles away. The young man proposed to go after this minister, and have the nuptials solemized, then and there ? The young ludy, with a shrewdness, not to say a suspiciousness, that does her honor, said that she would go along too. Ilence, they started together in a buggy, with no real purpose, it is said, even then, of figuring as principals in a weddimr, and leaving their ac quninfnnccs laughing at what they deemed a first-rate joke. They arrived at the clergyman's house, encn armed with the indomitable resolution not to give in ; each, however, secretly believing that when matters came to a decisive imint the other would hack down, hit Nanny was full of piuck, and so was Joe, and the pair were married in the buggy as it stood befote the parson's door, and returned to their friends a9 Mr. and M's.

[Columbia Union} 31 st. Farming by Sale. If fanning is a science, and a trade as we believe, then it ought to bo done by rnle. It has a sjs tern in principle, and it ought to have in practice. There is a time, a place and a way for everything connected with the business?anu the best success is to be iound in practicing the best system. Farm mir is like house-keeping, or shool* teaciiing, or manufacturing, in this :> :? ?. J r?j;cvv?*ii lb id nut uuno system- | iiticftllv it is done to a great disadvantage. Tliere is a waste and loss at all ends and corners?the waste in time is very great ; the waste in produce is not a little. How many farmers there are who do verthiug by guess or at random. They plow all soils alike for all fcrops; thev sow when they happen to get ready, whether the season, the soil or the weather is right or not; they have no idea of the 6ize of their fields nor the quantity ot seed they put on to the aei o. Tliflv iniioai it ia ulvmt right. Tiiey have no system of rotation of crops ; no plan for eaving manures or fertilizing their soil; no way of draining ; or feeding to their stock the most good with the least feed ; the road is their cow yard and pasture; the door-yard is their hog-pen ; a rail fence is their only gate; their fowls are everywhere, where they ought not to be, destroying and wasting ; their tools, carriages and harness are always out of order, and generally exposed to the sun and rain ; their stock is wandering they no not where; their fences are fast going down or fast going to ruin ; unruly horses, hogs and cattle, are often breaking in where they ought not to be; fence corners and headlands are growing up with briars and brush ; orchards imtrimmed : rardctiH ar? neglected; weeds grow.; crops tail ; stock die ; tends break ; family gets eick ; expenses* multiply ; protifs diminish; spirits l]l|int? L... ...w~ -?rrO?ppy?? WHO call tell wlmt does not follow that is miserable ? All this may be avoided by systematic farming.? Every merchant knows, that it his business is not done in order and in time, he is the loser, 'llie farmer ought to know' it. In no business is system more requisite than in farming. Tho fanner has to do with fixed laws?they innst be obeyed or ho or his crops suffer. Order is heaven's first law so it should be the farmer's. I flu. ml XVnvJtl ? ?The Poll Tax. The effort now making in the Legislature, by some of the heat members, to devise some means by which men can be made to pay their poll tax, is a praiseworthy one, and ought to succeed. What can be done to bring that about, is not so clear. No doubt, if a law could be made that deprived a man of the right to sit as a juior so long as his poll tax remained unpaid, it would stimulate many persons to discharge this obliga lion, which they owe to the State; but. whether it would prove the panacea for all our troubles in this line, is liy no means certain. With a provision in the constitution, which prevents the denial of the right to vote, on account of the non-payment of this tax, it becomes a dithcult question to settle. That the tax ought to be paid by every uitui in me otate, cannot be questioned, and probably there is no class in the State, who would derive so much benefit from a full collection of the poll tax, as the ve ry men who now refuse to pay it. Paying taxea is not a pleasant duty, at least to those who have the pay part to do. We have made an examination into (Tie poll tax business, and find that only about every other man pays this tax. If we desire to derive the utmost benefit from our school system, we innst take stops at once to secure this, the larger portion of the revenue to that fund. This isa inatter in which not a few, but all men aie imerestea, ior me less we collect by poll tax, the more we must collect from property. Ii is something that appeals to the pockets ot us all, ana we desire to see that those who derive the benetir, help pay the bills. An amendment to the constitution, striking out the clause that for hide the denial of the right of suffrage, on account of non-pay mcnt of noli tax. would accomplish this result. Whr cannot this be done f?Daily tlnion. m ? * +- . Inhuman.?A human fiend who resides in Marblehead, Mass., went home a tew weeks ago in a tit of in* toxieation and threw his wife out of doors and broke her leg. It was set and doing well when a night or two ago he returned again nnder the influence of liquor, and* deliberately broke tbe limb again to two places. Two other remarkable instances of accurate dreaming are chronicled in our exchanges. In the first place an American clairvoyant physician in the Mexican city of 'Mazatlan, had a vision on the night the steamer Continental (olying between that city and San Francis co) was wrecked oft' St. Lucas, which informed him of the disaster, the time and the locality. Next day he reported what he had dreamed. The story quickly tnade its way through the city and spread | consternation among the superstitions friends and relatives of the steamer's'passengers, and the anthoritjes had the doctor arrested and fined $35 as a disturber of the public peace. Precisely eight days afterwards news arrived from Cape St. Lucas, via La Paz, of the wreck of the Continent a), and confirmed in every particular the story of the clairvoyant. The second instance was that of an old negro woman who live9 in a kitchen attached to an ancient house in Norfolk, Ya., and who dreamed on sev eral successive nights of finding concealed treasure about the house. One afternoon her recollection of the dream caused her to btgin a search ; and, soon after removing several loose bricks in the kitchen hearth, she was rewarded by find ing a decayed Wooden Ik>x. This contained a quantity of paper money?supposed to be some of the old u Continental " currency ? a ~.\A .1? 1 C I--J nnitn, IIIC nuiKSHI >\ IIIUII illlll been totally destroyed by met, and a number .of gold ancTsilver pieces of English and Spanish coinage. The old woman thus dreamed herself into the poeession of a fortune of several hundred dollars. Dkep ok Shallow Culture.? A correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph writing from Iowa, concerning the short ciop in that section resulting from the drought i which prevailed there during the past BiufiBuuv account of an experiment having for its object the determination ot the question whether deep or shallow cnl tnre is best for corn. The soil, as is common in that State, was of great fertility and depth. The land being prepared as usual, a portion ot it was plowed deep during the growing season, which was extremely dry ; ami another portion was plowed shallow. The latter turned out much the best. If land be deeply pulverized prepar tory to planting,it dues not require deep culture for corn or any other crop. Shallow culture, sufficient to keep down weeds and grass is sufficient. Cnahlkston IIakuok.?Mr. Sawyer submitted the following resolution in the Senate on the 19th ult., which was considered by' unanimous consent and agreed to : li'etolved, That the Secretary of War be directed to inform the Senate whether surveys of Charleston harbor have been completed in accordance with the provisions of the second section ol the act of Congress of July 11,1>70; and, if so, to submit estimates of the amount needful to complete the improvements shown by said surveys to be desirable. ? 4 ? ? ? ? - ?

[ Washington Chroniels. We learn from our telegraph dispatches, that there is great prob ability of Congress taking np the Southern Pacific 1 tail road Bill during the present week. Wo sincerely trust this may bo true, and that when once up, it will bo pressed to a successful conclusion. There is no reason why Congress should not aid this enterprise to thfe same extent, and in the same manner, that it did the Union and Central Pacific roads. Justice to a section of the country that needs assistance in this line, demands that Congress bo not partial in the distribution of its lavor6. , With a Southern Pacific Pail road open to the goKien gates of California, a now future would.be open to the South, and we hope our delegation in Congress realize this fact, and will useiheir united efforts to seciiro favorable action by tlie National legislature.
