MINED STOCK IN CATTLE.
I noticed, sometime ago, a good deal
written about keeping,a mixed stock on
pasture. As I have been a keeper of stock
from my very early yoUth until now, I
venture to give my opinion. And first, I
have. found my sheep, to do very well
amongst cattle, but !cattle do badly
amongst sheep. To prOve it, let a farmer
take the fodder left by the cattle even
when part of it has been trodden down
under their feet, and iflthe sheep are not
fully fed, he will See the sheep eat it up
very greedily;—Bien let him take what
,bis sheep will leave and offer it to MS
cattle, and he will find they won't taste
it, if they can get anything else' or let
him turn his mileli cons in a sheep pas
' tare, and he will find them fail in milk.
• Cattle do well where horses pasture. In
proof of this, every farm 2r must have seen
that eattii- will eat the litter of horses,
even iffully fed, but horses won't eat what
cattle leave, unless compelled to do so.—
But horses and sheep will do well in
some pastures, especially the horses. To
prove this, let the farmer turn out the
sheep from theiryards, film in his horses,
and they will eat up all the sheep have,
left, even the litter_ ardund the rack.—
John Johnson.
POINTS OF A GOOD HOG
The mere name (breed) of a hog is not
always a criterion of its 4cellence. Early
maturity and a tendency to take on flesh
will do more towards
t naking the hog
valuable than any virtu contained in the
mere title of Berkshire! Suffolk, &c., for
it may possess more of ihe valuable qual
ities of the breed.
In the true Berkshire , the result of a
cross between the Chin e and Neapolitan
varieties, we find then trest approach to
a desired standard, th chief points of
which are as follows : j The breast and
loins should be broad, le bone and joints. ,
small, and the legs jus long enough to
prevent the belly horn touching the ,
ground ; the feel should fie firm, even,
upright and sound ; the head should be
broad and thick ; the snout short, and the ;
ears light, thin and inclined slightly for
ward. -
Nor is the color to be Overlooked in de
termining the breed ot, the animal— A
i .
dark skin and thin hair bows Neapolitan
blood ; a white skin an medium size In
dicates the Chinese bred, while a light
or reddish hue, with dark spots, denotes
the Berkshire.—Rural . merioan.
While riding through the country a
few dayseince . 7ith a friend, the conver
sation turned upon the prospects of the
fruit crop. "By the waY," says our com
panion, "a friend of mine informed me of
a new and somewhat novel mode of keep
ing birds from cherry' trees, that was
tried by him, and which he says proved
entirely successful. Its f simply putting
a cat in a box, made o !strips of boards,
and placing it in a tree.' The strips were
placed just far enough , apart to prevent
"pussy" 'from escapin and yet rent
dared her perfectly v ible. The birds
would come to the t , lAA almost in
stantly discover the bo and the cat, and
away they would go" again without a
cherry:-Richmond Times.

and,a son of Ron. Samuel li'Keari, who

faction accidentally in:power. This was
the case with John Quincy Adams and
John Tyler—so of Fillmore, and so, altio,
of Andrew Johnson, the present incum
bent of the" Presidential chair. We ap
peal to every unprejudiced mind if such
is not the fact.
This being the ease, then, let us study
the history of the Republic for the sixty
long years above referred to. Can we
find anywhere, in any age of the world,
or in any nation, a parallel to the happi
ness and pro,perity of the American peo
ple? Crime was almost unknown, and
the taxes were so lights to be scarcely
felt by the peolile. And, by way of con
trast, can we find such wretchedness
anywhere as followed the overthrow of
the Democratic party in 1830? i t ratite -
rally true, and so impartial history will'
read, that the immense natiOal debt
under which we are staggering, the whole
cost cif the gigantic war &rough which
,we have passed, its vast slaughter of
men and destruction of property, and
the enormous taxation entailed upon us
and our children for generations,to come,
are the returns the people have received
for their misplaced confideneein the
Abolition party. • • •
If the Abolition party had not obtained
control of the Government; it is admitted
that there woilld have been no war—no
slaughtering of tens Of thousands oflTlell,
no destruction of thousands of millions
of property, and no weight.of taxation
that will for long years cripple the indus
try of the Nation and reduce to serfdom
the laboring classes. The Abiffition par
ty cannot shift the responsibility on the
Democratic party. The representatives
of the Democratic party in Congress
voted for every proposition for a com
promise—voted forthe resolotions which
the late Senators Douglas and Crittenden
'declared would result fn a "just and hon
orable settlement of our National diffi
culties ;"—itnd thet represciitatives of the
Abolition partly voted against and de
feated them, and loudly cried for the
shedding of blood!
- These are all facts which cannot be
controverted, and the only hope for the
nation, the onlysecurity for the future,
is in the restoration of the Democratic
party- to power. The Government 'of
this country never has been, and, what
is more, -(to adopt the prediction of the ,
Lancaster . Intelligences,) never will be,
successfully administered upon any
other than the Democratic theory. Oth
er parties have tried ti different theory
and failed, and the Abolition party of the
'i-present day will be the most conspicuous
I failure of them all. Its leaders are fanat
.
ics—not statesmen.' Its policy is incon
s sibtent, extravagant and mischievous,
and so long as it holds the reins of power
the prosperityrpf the country will be made
to suffer, and decay and death to our po
s litical instillations will be the final and
inevitable result.
IMPORTANT 4110ESTIONS.
The Journal of Commerce submits the
following iniportant querie, for patriots
and busing men :
" What would the bonds of the United
Vtates be worth if Mr. Thaddeus Stevens
were Secretary of the Treasury, with the
powers now possessed by that officer?
What is likely to be the future financial
history of the country under Radical le
gislation, judging from the past? -What
is the d ht worth if the Constitution is to
he amended whenever it snits the ruling
faction? These are no idle questions.
They are no party questions. Those mer
chants and bankers of New York who
have always *led themselves members
of the Republican party know very well
than it is no question between Democrats
and Republicans, but it is a question be
tween themselves tend the Radical - men
who are leading on to ruin.
"If the Congressional elections this
full fail to give the President a substantial
support ; if the Radical wing of the Re
publican party succeeds in whipping the,
Conservative wing into the support of
Radical candidates, the future of our
natiot:al finances, of our very existence
as a people, becomes more dark than ever,
nor can any one point to the period when
it will be any better.",
Ater - The Republican party inthis state
is irrevocably 'pledged to Radicalism.
The recent Republican Convention of
:illegheuy County adopted a series of
resolutions, which are a fair type of the
settled opinion' of the', party. Among
them are the following
_Resolved, That the people of Allegheny
County will sustain the course of their'
representative in Congre-s upon the ques
tion of reconstruction, and that the action
of the Republican majority in Congress
upon that question and in the passage of
the Civil Bights Bill, meets with our
hearty concurrence.
Resolrcd, That the unfailing devotion
of Hon. Thaddeus Stevens_, during a long
and illu'trious career, to the cause of free
dom and humanity, and his hatred of
treason and traitors, and by his advocacy
of the right, stamp him as the man above
all others whom we can safely honor and
trust as a leader in this crisis.
This indorsement covers political ac
tion on the part of the Radical majority
in Congress intended to prevent a union
of the States under the Constitution, suet
the full indorsement of a man who topenr
ly proclaims his intention to prevent any
reconstruction unless negro equality is
made a leading idea in all the State gov
ernments engaged in the late rebellion.
Are the people of Pennsylvania prepared
to support such a party, or.such a leader'?

Strange that they should misunderstand
the prtictical woritimN of the maxim "to
the victors belong the spoils." Since
1561,. the Republicans have had a just
claim to the enjoyment of office, and
most valiantly have they asserted their
right. The records show that twice as
many appointments were made in the du
it seceire under Mr. Lincoln as had been
made by all of his predecessors, Of this
Democrats had no right to complain, and
for five years they have patiently "stood
out in the cold," and despite the subtle
acts of n despotic foe have gallantly-main
tained their principles and their orgartle

If the Presipent would assume to dic
tate to Congress whom they should select
[to. , fill the - offices at their disposal, he
would justly merit and would undoubt
edly receive the severest rebuke, and yet
he has precisely the same right to do this
that Congress has to dictate to him the
!recipients of his official favors. Upon
this subject the Radleale have themselves
settled thequestion. Who does not re
' member that within a brief two years the
I Radical shibboleth was, "THE PRESIDENT
IS TUE GOVERN3IENT. Oppose the Preel
dent and, you oppose the Government
All men are traitors who do not support
the President." Such were the daily
utterances of the shoddy loyalists; Mr.
Lincoln himself sanctioned the doctrine
and their whole party acted upon it.
The unlawful seizure and imprisonment
of thousands of Democrats have Indell
bly impressed upon our minds this doc
trine in all its length and breadth. If
' then, Lincoln as President was the Gov
ernment, so Johnson Is President is the
Government, and we commend to their
lips the chalice so rudely pressed to MIN.
Tile offices are In the gift of the:Eiecu
tive. If he believes his policy will re
( store the 'Union and give prosperity to
the whole people, and If he believes lie
can strengthen hie cause through the of
fices at his disposal, he should at once
and determinedly use the means the
Constitution and laws have given Ifirn.
Three-fifths of the Republicans are with
`the President, but through the control

their- voice is stifled, they are induced to

DREW JOIINAON proclaimed from the

TITRSE MEN "ARE PRAT-TOP: 4 ." The hour
for fraternization has passed, the breach
is Irreparable, the separation is final.
Upon the question of re-construcron
