It is asserted, and <juito generally believed. that at one time he was quite numerous, and was even considered rather convenient "ff not, indeed, quite indispcusiblc. It was *' found that upwards of one hundred of him were necessary in order to secure uierc lines of commissions for three eminent and deserving men. When field commissions Were wanted for three even more eminent and great uion, ono thousand soldiers were necessary, thousand! It seems an enormous number now, when by consulting the Congressional Directory, we find there arc none in nil this proud liepublic. j>ut twelve or fifteen years ago even that, Incredible as it may appear to us to-day, was considered a small number. They were private soldiers; there were even hundreds of thousands of them. And they were useful. They dug trenches; they coustructed long lines of breastWorks, aud then, when the enemy ciuic within sight they climbed -over them, and went outside of them to fight.

One dark night recently throe men living near Caseyville, on tlie Indiana side of the i Ohio, started to go over the river in a skill which hud been laying against the bank for ' several days. They gut into the boat and the oarsmen pulled vigorously for the other shore. When about sixty yards from the ! bank the man in the bow suddenly cried out that bo heard the hiss of a rattlesnake in the boat. This caused a thrill of horror to run through all, and in a (lash the oars were stopped and all sat listcniug, but not a sound was heard. They concluded that it was a false alarm, and the oars be gati to rise and fall. Again the man in the Lew uttered the warning and again the boat was stopped and all listened in dire fear, but no sound was heard. The skiff was then payed mtosb the river to Cascyvillc, whore the man at the stern jumped out into the water. al'raid to go through the boat. Procuring a ianfern at the hotel they went down to examine the boat and found a rattict>n ke with eleven rattles coiled under the oar.-lnm's scat. The deadly rcptiic was dispatched, to the intense relief of his fo|. ! \t p-wrcngevs. JUDGE LYNCH'S CARNIVAL. M '> r.uu- i> all its Horrors in Indiana.?

At 7 o'clock on .Monday, seven ucgroos wout to n house of ill lame and varished four white women. Four were arrested, and at d o'clock this morning, Fd. Hayes aud Oscar Thomas went to the house of Daniel Harris to artesl his son for being concerned. Harris opened his window and tired two barrels of a gun into Thomas' face and stomach, killing hiui instantly. Hayes returned the tire with a revolver, shooting Harris in the neck and arm. Harris ran and was overtaken about a mile from the house and returned to jail. As morning came, the matter was discussed. Crowds i gathered ut (lie Public Square and attempts were made to force ?he jail. A mob organized and boarded traius to present the militia or officers coming from abroad. The crowd was all the time .increasing, and rp)g>Et? c.? *>f Tliomtrs, who was well liked. The wildest rumors went through the city and the mob became more and more excited. About noou a colored boy was driven from the Square and fired at. He got two shots in the back and head, but was not seriously hurt. As evening approached, the mob withdrew to the woods west of town, organized, masked, and waited until 10 o'clock and then marched into town like Ku-KIux, silently and in good order. The jail was guarded by men with shot-guus and one piece of artillery, but the guards were quickly overpowered, and Hayes, the Deputy Sheriff, thrown down and the keys taken away, while the mob' and crowd fired guns and revolvers, so as to creato a panic. Thq i^ur javtphevs, Win. Chalets, Jaiu&a. flood, J. T\ Hopkins and Kd. Warren wore locked in one cell, and sledge-hammers were used to break in. While the noise of the hammer sounded, old Harris was butchered ! in the corridor by relatives of his victim, and the pieces thrown down the privy vault, uuknown to the outside crowd. After half an hour's work, the bars gave away, ami the Four strapping negroes were leal juut, bound with ropes around their n?fi*k<* I'lieJ members of the mob formed, with guards ou each side of the doomed men, and marched to the south side of the square.?

I believe it better lor a farmer than ou one alone ; for, how often doessouioj particular crop become a complete failure ? | Then where are the funds coming from to i meet store bills* pay taxes, the minister and ' printer? Some years there is so much of! o 13 product raised that it is very low, audit' you happen to depend wholly on that crop, where aro you then ? Xow, if you practice mixed husbandry it is entirely different; for you aro almost certiin of some crop for a good selling price ; hence, you can boon surer footing than ifyou raised simply one kind of crop, especially if your capital i> limited; for then you cannot afford to wait until another crop ca:i grow ; accordingly 1 believe it always was the surest and best plan, for the young fanner especially, to grow a variety of crop.? The most independent farmer is the one who has more than 0110 crop to depend on. The farm is a place where all the different varieties of food can be raised, and it seems to me the object of the farmer should he to grow all of such kinds of food ?s he will need to consume in his family and feed to his stock ; or, in other words, let nothing be bought that can bo grown on tho farm at a fair cost. If we can raise wheat at SO cents per bush el, can wo ufloi'ti to ouy it attfl.zu : or, 11 \vc can raise our pork at ?."> per hundred, can wo afford to buy it at ei^ht cents por pound? Let a farmer who ban practiced mixed husbandry for a term of years, turn his attention to, and labor wholly upon one crop, and if he docs not deny himself souie of his customary luxuries I shall bo very much mistaken." ?
