Sam Hildebrand.
THE OUTLAW OF THE SOUTHEAST --A. RE-
' 'WARD* OF ' $10,000 OFFERED FOR
HIS HEAD --DESCRIPTION OF THE
BOLDEST DESPARAD0 OF MODERN
TIMES.
The good people of Washington and
S. Francois have for several years
been
kept in awe by the bold and bloody
a is of the notorious Sam. Hildebrand..,
is man, it Is said, has murdered at
1 st et 1 t and r -
a in those counties � d
b Y
a nsas. }When the rebellion broke out
lhe-espou$ed the cause of the rebels, and
became a daring and ruthless' bush -
Nil -hacker. It has been asserted that he
'asin`u .ed bythe hands of a Union offi
cer—haviing his house burned down and
his fam4y b driven forth homeless and
_
shelterless. Whatever of truth. or
falsehood may ba in these stories it' is
certain that Hildebrand became a des-
perate ajnd unscrupulous r_�an. He,
wreaked a, ,terrible vengeance upon
those who had been his enemies, shoot-
ing men down in their fields and by the
wayside, burning hooses and outraging
women. All attempts to kill or cap-
ture this man have proved abortive.
He. has been hunted by companies of
determined men tracked by detectives
from the city but has always • eluded
pursuit and successfully resisted attack.
.A few days ago we gave an account of
:xn attempt to capture Hildebrand by
the sheriff of Washington county and a
squard of fifteen or. sixteen men, which
resulted in the wounding of the sheriff,
the killing of one of his men and the
escape of the outlaw. Since then re-
newed efforts have been•made to arrest
the desparado, and in' order to effect
the object a reward of $10,000 has been
ofieredfor him. It. is probable that
this lage., amount will induce nen of
'nerve and 'shrewdness to undertake his
capture ; but it, is generally believed
that Hildebrand will never be taken
alive. He 1, now s that he will receive
no mercy, at the hatncls- of the law, and
-that his capture will result in ignome-
nious death. It :is conjectured that
'Iildebrand is making' his way towards
.the Mississippi. Those who formerly
harboured and assisted him nave be-
come alarmed, and are now anxious
that he should be brought to justice.
It is hoped that the people of the river
towns will be on the lookout for him.
The following is his description :
Hildebrand is six feet one inch in
height .; sandy complexion ; beard rath-
• er thin, and mostly on chin ; keen blue
eyes ; on each side of his face he has a
',florid or blood -vein coloured spot the
sire of half a -dollar hawk nose ; small
m „ . ; feminine voice ; light thin
hair ;` aged about thirty-five years ;
weight about 170 pounds , walks er-
ect, Carries. . his head back. Had on,
when last seen, a ,brown butternut
coat, an old pair of shoes, black slouch
hat. Had a scar on one of his
legs, caused` by a shot passing through
the calf and coming out belowthe
knee.
BOTS IN HORSES. -James Little, of
Sing -Sing, ,N.' Y., solicted information
as . to a. remedy for a steed attacked by
these clestroyers. Mr. Whitney- replied:
---"A cure is ,very difficult; but not un -
possible. Bots are, quick in. - their ons-
et. ` Their victim has symptons like
colic, and is likely to be dispatched .in
short "metre ' There are' two remedies
well known -and worth trying, provid-
ing you are in a hurry about it—name-
ly, milk and molasses, and, second a
decotion of"'wthite oak bark. However,
it is best to use the ounce of prevention,
If you feed. a horse to four or five quarts
of potatoes twice or three times a week
he will be kept out of danger." . Dr.
Trimble, in comment on the subject,.
gave some interesting facts as follows
"Bots are turibsities of natural history.
The eggs which produce them are de-.
posited on the knee joint of the fore
legs just where the horse can easiest
reach them with his tongue: -Here
they hatch and produce, an irritation,
and the horse licks them' r ff, and thus
they are taken into the stomach. They
are furnished with a kind of Book with
which -they hold fast, and they feed on
such nutriment as the food of the ani-
mal affords.- .. If such nutriment is not,
furnished as is agreeable to their taste,
or if the stomach is allowed to remains
empty, they - feed upon. it, and thus'
cause the horse . to perish. Of course,
the stomach should be kept well filled:
As to the various remedies prescribed,'
a scientific veterinarian would not med-
dle with them, and the treatment of
certain persons who call themselves
horse doctors is simply barbarous."

DIGGING POST HotES.—A eorrespon
dent of the Iowa jomestead - tells 'how,
any man may dig from ` 140 to 150 posh
holes in eight honrs ;' and this is tile'
process : "The best tool for this purpose,
is a spade. The _holes, should be two
and a half :feet deep and the :square :of
the spade in size,- and very fe ,v need be
dug larger. After removing the soil;;
strike the spade into, say, the north!
side of the hole ; pull the spade gently;
northward and, upward, without . j.er-i
in;twig the dirt to touch the° south side
of the hole ; walk around the hole, re-
peating the process on each side. You
will find the dirt will adhere to the
spade, provided it is not raked off by
contact with the opposite side. The
left hand need not be --used, except tri
give direction to the blows of the spade.
The dirt is easily remoyed from the
spade l y striking it into the ground.
Don't be discouraged if you do not sue-
teed in getting `thcs tang' of this meth-
od the first day. Give it a fair trial,; '
and you will never use any other. °
BEES AND RASPBERRIES. -=A corres-
po tcient of the Prc ctir4 Farmer says
--•"I have a .quarter. of an acre in. rasp-
berries adjoining my apiary of two
hundred swarms of Italian bees, and I
am very sure the bees were a great ad-
-vantage to the j berries. Every • blos-
som produced a berry. I sold between
thirty and forty 'gallons of raspberries
eff.the quarter acre the second . and
third year after it was planted, I
value the raspberry for its - honey and
fruit, and think of planting,ten acres
next year.
Arms and Ammuniton in Japan
A.O. VAN ECMOND's
Woolen Facdol y !!
Few 'people are aware the large trade
done in Japan in European arms and
amm uiition. - The report of -'Counsul
Parkes' from Nagasaki for 1866, states
that this trade was largely increased
during that year in the northren pro-
v:pees. I e says : In the early part of
the year the demand was steady and
continuous, viz.,during the period of
`he war ; but since the cessation of
hostilities the enquiry for firearms has
been very ` limited, and with heavy
stocks in:the place the prices have de-
clined rapidly. For instance, -short
Enfield rifles, which weapon is by fbr
the most appreciated by the Japanese
in this quarter were worth in the early
part _ of the war 17 to 18 dollars- each,
whereas now they are to be' had in guar ,-
tity at 11_ and 12 ' dollars. Breach -
loading rifles of many kinds have been
imported,. c,ut particnlary of the Sny-
der, Spencer, A lbini, Westly Richards,
and Wilson and Henry's patents, but
in cQrparitavely small quaniities and'
at the present time are not much in de-
mand. Cartridges, ' especially Enfield,
Have been bought largely, but the mar-
ket raving been badly supplied of late,
the Japanese have been manufacturing
their own to a great extent, and the
demand for foreign made ones will thus
be much reduced. Caps have been
