Selecting Cows. A Vermont stock
raiser gives the following rules for select
ing cows : " First, 1 tret a broadside
view of the animal, at the distance of
about two rods, as have noticed for
for years that there was a great similarity
in the general proportion of all first class
milkers, being very small in girth just
back of their forward legs, as compared
with their girth just lorwaid of their
hips. I have never known a first-rate
milker, of any breed, not thus propor
tioned ; bo th'at if this form is wanting
in an animal I have recommended to me,
I do not care to look at her more, unless
I want to breed for some other purpose
than the dairy. For breeding oxen, 1
should want a cow of reverse proportions.
I. e, larger girth forward. I next feel
the size of the milk veins, and trace them
to their entrance into the chest, which
in superior cows, are large, admitting the
ball of the larger finger; if divided, or
subdivided, a9 is sometimes the case, I
judge of the size of each orifice, as I care
less for the size of the vein itself than
the orifice. Next, examine by sight or
touch the udder or bag, which must be
capacious in order to hold much milk,
with teats wide apart and free from large
seed warts or sores of any kind. I then
inquire how long she goes dry before
calving, as I don't want a family cow to
give milk less than forty six works, out
of every fifty-t wo; also, as to the quality
of the milk ; and, to close, I milk her
with rav own hands." Rural New

Corn and IIoqs. The Aslieville (N
C.) News administers a sharp rebuke to
the farmers of North Carolina for their
mismanagement iu ther farming opera
tions. It charges thein with going to
Tennessee and Kentucky tor their pork,
and paying ten cents a pound gross for it,
and tooting the bill by selling corn at
fifty cents a bushel at least fifteen cents
less than it costs to raise it. This is pro
nounced a suicidal policy, one which has
prevailed so long that the country is be
coming rapidly impoverished by it
1 hese tarmers are urged to turn a new
leaf to discard the spike nozed native
breed of hogs, and to import Chester
Whites, and thus inaugurate a new era
in corn raising and making pork. By
producing their own hogs and lattening
them they will save the cost of import
ing their pork and exporting their corn
payment ; produce a considerable quantity
of valuable fertilizing material for the
renovation of their exhausted lands, and
gain nearly one hundred per cent, in sell
ing their surplus pork, instead ot corn,
as they have been in the habit of doing
lor series of years, lhe recommenda
tions of the News are sound, timely, and
must be adopted before the farmers, upon
whom they , are urged, can make their
labors remunerative. Rural New Yorker.

These last estimates cauuot bo regarded as
being in accordance with that economy which
is imperatively demanded by a gradually di
miuished rcveuuo. Congress should cut
them down to at least $250,000,000, and
then inaugurate prompt retrenchment, so as
to leave a balance on the right side of the
ledger. 'J here are a great many projocts be
fore Coogress, for which appropriations are
asked, some of which are. of great importance
to the country, but this is not tho time for
lavish expenditure, and it would be better to
defer important works of internal improve
ment than to 0 on increasing the debt.
The Special Revenue Commissiouer,however,
has intimated that we may expect this year a
saving of thirty millions, on various ac
counts among which are the finishing up of
the bounties, tbe reduction of interest from
conversions, and the withdrawal of the com
pound interest notes, and the 'surrender of
pensions. . The Commissioner further esti
mates that an increase of thirty millions of
receipts, from tbe same sources of revenue,
may fairly be looked for, with an ordinarily
efficient collection, and an ordinarily honest
administration. lie believes, therefore, ihat
it is within bonds to regard the Treasury as
master of a clear yearly surplus, from this
time forward, of one huudred millions. It
is sincerely to be hoped that this sanguine
view may be realized.

Uolh Houses of the Legislature met on
Tuesday morning, and adjourned on Friday
afternoon fur the week. As yet there has
been but little legislation done. The elec
tion of State Treasurer, and the drawing of
committees in contested election cases, have
consumed the most of the time Mint the Leg
islature has been in session. Quite a number
of private bills have been introduced; very
few, however, oT a public nature havo been
presented. Tho standing committees in both
Houses have been announced, and as soon as
tbe election of United States Senator is over,
legislation mny be expected to commence
tnoro in earnest
T1IK REGISTRY BILL.
One of the prominent features of tho pre
sent session will bo tho passage of a law for
tho registration of voters. Tho law of last
year having been decided by the Supreme
Court to be unconstitutional, a new bill was
prepared with such modifications as, it is
thought, will remedy the defects of tho for
mer one. It was introduced in the Senate,
on 'Wednesday, by Mr. Taylor of Beaver.
For the consideration of this bill, and all
kindred ones, a joint committee of the two
Houses has been appointed, consisting of
Messrs. Krrett, Stinson, Olmstoad, Davis and
Conuell, ou tho part of tbe Senate, nud
Messrs. Strong, Nicholson, Brown of Hun
tingdon, M'Collough and Rogers, on the
part of the House of Representatives.
ELECTION OP STATE TREASURER.
The nominations for State Treasurer took
place iu the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives on Tuesday. Iu accordance with
tbe decision of tbe caucus held last week,
tbe Republicans presented tbe name of Rob
ert W. Mackey of Allegheny. As tbe Peru
ocrats bad fixed the time for holding their
caucus at 10 o'clock ou Wednesday morning,
they had decided upon uo particular enndi
dato and therefere several persons were nom
muted. Among the numher was W. W,
Irwin, of Beaver, whose name was presented
by senator Hock of Incoming, lhis nom
ination had the effect of origitr.itig a nrcport
that tbe Democrats were formiug a coalition
with a sufficient number of Republican "bol
ters" to re-elect Mr. Irwin. This rumor had
gained considerable credeuce, just previous
to tbe meeting of tbe Democratic caucus
nud for a time occasioned quite a flutter of
excitement. If, however, sncb a combination
was seriously contemplated it was not effect
ed, and the Democrats nominated Charles
W, Cooper of Lehigh. Tbe two Houses
met in joiut convention on Wednesday at 12
o'clock, and on tho first ballot for State
Treasurer, Robert W. Mackey received
votes; Charles W. Cooper, 51; and Morrow
B. Lowry of Krie, 1 that of Senator Fish
er of Lancaster. Mr, Mackey was therefore
declared duly elected State Treasurer for one
year. Senator Lowry of Erie, and Billing
felt of Lancaster, Republicans, did not vote;
and Senators Lindermun of Berks, and 'Wal
lace of Clearfield, nail Representative M'Cul
lough of Clearfield, Democrats, were ubsent.
CONTESTED ELECTIONS.
There are now before tho legislature three
contested election cases. The first is that of
Wm. M. Bunn, Republican, contestant of
the scat of Dauiel Witbam, Democrat, sit
ting member, returned from the Xlth District
of Philadelphia us elecltd to tho House of
Representatives, by a majority of 35 votes.
Mr. Buuu claim that if the illegal votes
were thrown out he would have a Republican
majority of seventy-three. Tho committee
drawn in tbe case are, Messrs. Strang, Clark,
of Warren, Westluke, Wilson, Dill, Herr,
Leslie, Phillips and Miller all Republicans
except Dill. Tbe probability is that the
contestant, Mr. Bunn, will get the seat
Tbe second is that of Mr. Russell Thayer,
Republican, who contests the election of
Thomas Oreenbank, Democrat, 'returned as
elected by a mojority of 125 to tbe office of
Associate Judge of the District Court of
Philadelphia. Mr. Thayer claims that if the
fraduleut votes were cast thrown out.he would
have a Republican majority of 1,097. There
were over 121,000 votes polled for the candi
dates. The committee drawn in the case, is
a joint one from the two Houses, and con
sists of Messrs, Miller, Brown of Northamp
ton, Stinsou aud Lowrey, on the putt of tbe
Senate, and Messrs. Nelson, Ames, Beatty,
Hunter, Robisou, of Mercer, Gouudie, Mar
shall, Josephs aud Webb, ou the part of the
House 8 Republicans and 5 Democrats.
The other case is in reference to tho office
of Presideut Judge of tbe District Court
for Philadelphia. Tbe contestant, Wm. L.
Hirst, is a Democrat, and the petition sets
forth that he received 200 more votes, of
qualified electors, than the Republican can
didate, J. I. Clark Hare, who is returned as
being elected by a majority of twenty-five.
Mr. Hirst also claims that over 500 legal
voters that presented their ballots for him,
bad their votes rejected illegally. The com
mittee in this case is also a joint one, and
consists of Senators Stinson, Taylor, Mcln
tire, and Brown, of Northampton, and Rep
resentatives Amos, Clerk, of Warren, Steph
ens, Miller, Meredith, Nicholson, Peters,
Robb and Place -10 Republicans and 3 Dem
ocrats, The results of the investigations of these
committees will be looked to with a good
deal of interest, and it is their intention to
make thorough work of the business in
hand.
DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS. 1
The annual reports of the State. Depart
ments have been made to the Legislature,
aod are now either published, or in the hands
of the State printer,
The reports of the Common School Depart
ment by the State Superintendent J.

for building purposes nearly three times as
much, tbe cost of instruction twice as much,
and cost of contingencies almost four times

Tbe report of the Adjutant (Jeoernl, D. B.
McCreary, shows that in 1866, there wbb
only 8 military companies in tho Stnte; In
Jauuary, 1868, there were 38, and on the 1st

year. In round numbers, for tho year ending
November 30, 1868, tbe ordinary expenses
of the State Government were $450,000, and
the ballance in the treasury at the end of the
yeur$l;000,000.
From the C'loavpland (Ohio) Herald, Dec. 18
Singular History of a Once Wealthy
xtusaian.
The eccentric genius, Karl Lansing, con
cerning whose actions at the station house on
Bundny, we gave a short notice, has an inter
esting history, which we give in part below.
Born in Russia, he early showed a disposi
tion to acquire knowledge, and his father,
who was at that time immensely rich, deter
mined to giro him a tborougli education, aud
for tbnt purpose sent him to tbe best schools
and colleges tbe neighboring empires could
boast As a consequence of his facilities,
Karl acquired several languages, and when
bis education was pronounced finished, he
could speuk German, French, Italian, Rus
sian and Spanish wilh fluency. Shortly after
coining from college he married one "of the
most beautiful ladies in St. Petersburg, ana
at once became the euvy of tbe whole city.
His lather was n man of note, not only in
Russia, but in tbe adjoining provinces, where
his fame became ahousehold word. During the
wars of Napoleon tho First, Lansing, the el
der, moved to France, nud his meuns werh
freely loaned to tbe Kmperor to aid in corry
ingou tbe war withltaly. Tbe rupture between
Russia and France produced a coldness be
tween Napoleon and Lunsing, ns he rather
favored his native land, ond would not fur
nish the means to fijjht his own countrymen.
Tbe coldness finally grew into au open rup
ture, and after tbe disiisteroiis campaign
against Moscow, Lansing was ordered out of
the country. Karl, with his still lovely wife,
came to America, aud procuring, a stylish
house in New York, prepared to settled down
there, as the course he had seen in the
French-Russian war prevented his going
home, on pain of banishment to Siberia.
For several years everything went smoothly
with bim and bis, but at length bis wjCe
died, leaving him alone in tbe world and
nearly crazed at b's loss. Ouo reverse fol
lowed another in rapid succession until tbe
patrimony given him by his father dwindled
to notbiug, mid he was thrown upon his own
resources to gaiu a livelihood. Having re
ceived a splendid military education be se
cured a school for instruction in the broad
sword exercise, nud for a time did very well.
Sickness camo upon him, and ho was forced
to give up his school and write home for as
sistance. His father dared uot send it, uh
Kurl hud been proscribed by tbi Russinu
government, and to aid him was to secure
the confiscation of his enormous property.
Worrying through his sickness ho at length
was able to get about. Next be tried to cam
a living by means of his musical talents, than
which no man possessed liner, and managod,
by strict, economy, to keep tho wolf Irom his
hungry door. At length he camo West,
rumbling from city to city in search of em
ployment ns a piano tuner, which profession
he still pursues. He is said to be an excel
lent performer on tho violiucello, and even
iu his old age, for be is now upwards of sixty
years of age, he can be excelled by very
few.
He possesses tho happy geniullity of most
Russians, aud seems but little troubled so
long ns he gets a fair living. He refers to
the scenes of bis former days with a grent
deal of pride, but speaks of France as his
home, to which he intends to go before be
dies. He cannot, however, forget his wife,
and on each recurring anniversary of her
death his sorrow is so great tbut he resorts
to the flowing bowl to drown it Such is
the brief history of one of Cleavelaud's citi
zens. Born and educated in affluence, the
admired of a powerful nation, netted at tbe
Court of his native land, he has gradually
decended the ladder of lortuue until now be is
at the foot, ploddiug along as cheerful as
those who are enjoying tbe smiles of tbe
fickle goddess.
Enormous Resources. We see by the re
port of the Secretary of tho Treasury that
within a period of three years and seven
months the receipts of the Government from
all sources of revenue reached the enormous
sum or $1,562,496,062.20, and that $630,
431,125.90 were paid on debts which were
actually due at the close of the war and for
bounties, which, like the pay of the army,
were a part of tbe expenses ol the war.
Adding the amount thus paid to the debt m
exhibited by tbe books ot tbe Treasury on
the first day of April, 1865, it appears that
the debt of the United States at that time
was $2,997,386,203.24, and that, tbe actual
reduction has been $470,256,650.42; and but
for the advances to the Pactfiic-roads, and
tbe amount paid for Alaska, would hare been
$519,950,650.24.
Attorney General Earts has issued in
structions to all the district attorney in the
United States ordering them to discontinue
proeeedings against all persons accused of
treasonable offences for acts committed dur
ing the late rebellion. This proceeding effec
tually settles the whole question as to the
operation of President Jouusoii'i amnesty
proclamation. - - ' ' .
Grn. Grant authorizes the statement that
tbe articles written by an "occasional corres
pondent " of the New fork WbrtLb, and pur
porting to relate conversations or furnish
opinions of his in regard to' public men arid
public matters, are utterly without t ouunA'
tion. no numan oeing nas ever listened to,
or shared such conversation as those reported.
General Grant would not deem it becoming
in him to contradict tbe articles iu question
if they simply affected himself. But as they
are evidently written with a view to embroil
his relations with prominent gentleman,
most of them his political or personal friends,
or at least outrage their just sensibilities,
he deviates in this instance from his usual
course, and pronounces the articles alluded
to incorrect, indelicate, and impertinent in
an extraordinary degree.
" Pa, will vou get me a new pair of
skates if I will prove to yon thnt n dog
has teri tails? ',
" Yes, my son."
' Well, to begin, one dog has one more
tail than no dog, hasn't bel "
"Yes." .,
"Well, no dog has nine tails ; and if
one dog has one more tail than no dog,
then one dog must have ten tails "
The father gave the boy his skates.

full-
sized patterns of useful articles accompanies
the paper every fortnight, and occasionally an
tlegant Colored Fashion Plate.
Habi'lb's Bazar contains 16 folio pnges of
tho size of Hakpf.r's Wkerlv, printed on su
perfine calendered paper, and is published

Critical Notices of I c Press.
Harper's Bazar contains, besides pictures,
pnttrns, etc, a variety of matter of especial
use and interest to the family ; artioles ou
health, dress and housekeeping in all its
branches ; its edit, rial matter is especially
adapted to lhe circle it is intended to inlercs
and instruct ; and it has, besides, good slorio
and literary matter of m err it. H is not sur
prising that the journal, wilb such features,
has achieved in a short tlmo an immense su
cess ; for something of its kind was desi-ed in
thousanils of families, and its publishers have
filled the demand. jVw York livening i'ett.
Whether we consider its claims as based
upon tho elegance and superiority of tho
paper, its typographical appearance, the tasto
and judgement displayed in the engravings, or
the literary contributions oontainei ia iis
pages, we unhesitatingly pronounce it lo bo
superior in each and every particular to any
other similar publication here or abroad.
Phil' a L'ljol Intelligencer.
We know of no other English or American
journal ot fashion that can pretend to approach
it in completeness and variety. X. '. Hmct.
It has the merit of being sensible, of c uvcy .
ing instruction, of giving excellent patterns
in every department, nud of being stocked
with good reading matter. Watchman and Re
