IS, 1S70. tf. Morrow B. Lowry and the Rocky Moun tain Cat. Jim1 Stewart, sometimes called "The Commodore," is the most noted darkey in Erie. Jim is a good uatured, shrewd sort of fellow, somewhat addicted to do ing business now and then on the Jeremy Diddler style, as the following incident will testily. Living near the residence of the Hon. Morrow B. Lowry, he was frequently employed by the latter to do odd jobs around the house and in the garden. One day Mrs. Lowry conclud ed that the peccadillos of a worthless and venerable torn cat, lonr an attache of the family, were such as demanded the inflic tion of capital punishment, and Jim was called upon to play the part of execu tioner. After - a long chase, the victim was captured 'and put in a basket, over which an old shawl was securely fastened. The next question was how to dispose of the prisoner. Mrs. L. suggested drown ing, but Jim, with tears in his eyes, pro tested that he could no more drown "that ere" cat" that he could "drown himself that were he to do so, his conscience, act ing on a naturally tender heart, would trouble him so much at nights that he was sure he could never sleep a wink thereafter. Not wishing to ruin Jim's peace of mind, Mrs. L. compromised the matter by giving him a dollar and direct ing him to take the cat and dispose of it in any way he pleased, so that she could never see it again. Putting the dollar in his pocket and the basket on his arm, Jim started down town. He had uot got out of sight of the house when he met Morrow walking leisurely toward his home, and the following colloquy ensued: Morrow Hello, Jim, what have you got there. Jim One ob de celebrated Bocky Mountain cats, sah. Morrow A Bocky Mountain cat? Why Jim, where did you get him, and what are you going to do with him ? . Jim 1 golly, sah ! Didn't you heah ob do big bunch ob dem cats dat kum to town yesterday from Kaliforny, sah ? Bes mousers in dc wurl, sah, and dis is de biggest and bes one ob de lot, sah. Dey are gwine to gib me foah dollahs for him at de Beed House, sah. Morrow (Becollecting the "general cussedness" of the family cat) Jim, we want a good cat up home, and I gue?s I'll take this fellow, but but don't you think four dollars is mighty steep for a cat? Jim All de res' sold for five dollars sah. This decided Morrow, so he paid Jim the price asked, and told him to carry the "Bocky Mountain cat" up to Mrs. Lowry. Jiai, however, had very import ant business elsewhere, and begged Mor row to take the basket himself, which the latter good naturedly consented to do. Arriving at home he took his prize into the sitting room, carefully closed the doors, slightly lifted the baskeiand cover ing, and smiling benevolently at Mrs. L.'s apparent astonishment, remarked : "My dear, I've brought you a Bocky Mountain cat the best mouser" at this moment the cat jumped out of the basket and commeuced rubbing himself against bis master's legs. Morrow stopped short, while his wife broke in impatiently : "La ! me morrow ! Why that's the same old cat I gave Jim Stewart a dollar to drown, not more than ten minutes ago." What followed we know, not, but a minutes later the Hou. Morrow B. Lowry might have been noticed on the streets of Erie, armed with a very heavy walking-stick, and wondering "why a man can never find that d d nigger, when he wants to see him badly. Beaver Radi cal. An Unexpected Reply. The Superintendent asked me last Sun- dav to take charge of a class. "You'll find 'em rather a bad lot," said he. "They all went fishiug last Sunday but little Johnny Band. He is really a good boy, and I hope his example may yet redeem the others. I wish you'd talk to em a little. 1 told him I would. They were rather a hard looking set. I don't think I ever witnessed a more elegant assortment of black eyes iu my life. Little Johnny Baud, the good boy, was in. his place, aud I smiled on him ap provingly. As soon as the lesson was over, I said : "Boys, your superintendent tells me you went out fishing last Sunday ; all but Johnny here." "You didn't go did you, Johnny ?" I said. "No, sir." "That's right. Though this boy is the youngest among you," I continued, "you will learn from his lips words of good counsel, which I hope you will profit by." I lifted him up in a seat beside me and smoothed his auburn ringlets. "Now, Johnny, I want you to tell your teacher, and those wicked boys, why you didn't go fishing last Sunday. Speak up loud now. It was because it was wicked, and you had rather come to Sunday school. Wasn't it ?" 1 "No, sir, it was cos I couldu't flu J no worms for bait." The State election in Maine, held on the 11th instant, resulted in a splendid Republican triumph. . Siduey Perham was elected Governor by at least 11,000 majority 3000 more than las! year.

When colts are weaned, they should never be put with older animals of their own species ; a few together, with an abundance of room, will do best, and the attention should be from one person who' has sense enough to discover any littlo matter going amiss before it is serious, or, in other words, he should have the gump tion to prevent every ailment horseflesh is heir to, instead of waiting to cure it. For instance, there may be a colt among several which is so shy and nervous that he is afraid to stand up and cat with the others, till his share is nearly consumed. There may be another naturally very slow iu masticating, which would lose much of his share, and thus these animals would pine away, for if enough was given so that there would be more than the boldest would cat, it would still be wrong, as there would be a cloying of the fast-caters. This matter could easily be remedied by sepcration and other preventions adopt ed in time to meet every contingency, but in no succession undertaking of horse training would there be a constant use of drugs or a resort to quackery. I will briefly add that the maia hiois to be given, are to make the colts fat against winter, by extra food, to the mare as well as the colt, if it cannot be done without, and do not hurry about weaning, as by feediug the mare well she will not be injured. Give bran, oat?, and corn too, if you like, but not more than one third of the latter in proportion to the bran, aud no corn unless the colts run out in the field. The whole drys, for the' saliva is the natural fluid to assist in the digestion, and the loss of it with the bran, &c., by mixing water with it, is partly the cause of the gaunt frames one so fre quently sees. As for cooking auy kind of food, unless you choose to give some linseed jellcy, it is time thrown away, as also chaff-cutting, curry-cotabisg and much other old woman's rubbish. Nature has laws and they cannot (all of them) be broken with imputiny. Correspondent Country Gentleman. - Care cf Harness. During the busy season harness is often neglected, and, for want of cleaning, be comes coated with dust, which causes it to dry and become cracked. It is then on the road to ruin. To save it, it should be taken apart, every buckle should bo unloosed, and it should be thoroughly cleansed with warm warter and soap. If - thorough sponging does riot free it from the glutinous coating derived from former greasings with improper materials, a weak lye of wood ashes) or a solution of borax or soda,may be used, until the old grease is all removed. Then wipe the surface, and while the harness is still damp, coat it with sweet oil until no more is absorb ed. The oil will displace . the water. thoroughly penetrating the substance of the leather. It will thus be kept pliable. Harness should not be oiled when it is dusty or unclean ; always wash it previ ously, as above directed. Vox fine har ness, au excellent dressing is made with 8 oz. beeswax melted, into which is stirred 2 oz. ivory black, 1 oz. Prussian blue ground in oil, 1 oz. oil of turpentine, aud i oz. of copal varuish. This is made into balls. It should be applied with a stiff brush and the harness polished with a soft cloth. No hair or dirt will stick to this, and if expcue be no object, work ing horses may be made to look well with a coat of itl American Agricul turist. Save the Ccrnfodder. We have long been of the opinion that there was not that attcution paid to the curing and saving of the cornfodder that its value demanded. Every good farmer must know that cattle eat it greedily through the winter, and if cut and steam ed it is as good for them as the best hay and really more milk-producing. Where is the necessity of allowing is to remain in shocks until the middle or end of November. Corn should not bti cut down until the stalks are dying and the grain is pretty hard, and then it should remain no longer in the field than is absolutely necessary for the drying of the grain. It should be husked as early as possible, and the fodder tied up in bundles and either carefully stacked iu sheds. It is well known, too ,that horses prefer it to the best hay ; also that the blades are especially sought for to feed racing animals, strengthening their wind and bottom beyond any other food. It is besides wholesome- provender and helps most beneficially in making tho winter's supply of hay hold out till lato in tho spring, with the addition of roots, which every farmer, who shrewdly looks to the main chance ought to cultivate for feed ing in tho early part. Storing Potatoes. The followiug method of storing potai toes, recommended by Dr. P. Moigno, is a simple and sure way of preserviug them from rot. When mature, the potatoes are dug ami allowed to dry, and theu put into pits that are liued with straw. As they are deposited in the pit, cither charcoal powder, gypsum, or tho ashes cf coal or wood, should be freely scattered among them in quantity suQcieut to fill up all mterstices. Ihey Miould be pro tected from toe action of direct sunlight, and after a few days covered with two, or what is better, four feet of soil ; care be ing taken that the trmund about the piis id ell'ectually draiucd. i t nr
