English Horses,
d A writer in the London Review calls
' -the attention of the lovers of the horse to
tbo fact that the noble breed or useful
English horses is becoming ruined : "We
are every year deteriorating the qualities
of our saddle horses and troopers, by the
1.1 :i t t j
xmuou Ja an very wen aiueu to a compact,
worm me name oi uiooa, in me common ;
acceptation of the term. TLosc qualities j
in our race-uocs, which are decreasing j
'every year more and n.ore, are the mot
vuscful and natural one namely, consti
tutional ior, freedom from hereditary
dircase, strength of bono, largeness of
mu-clc, and great endurance uuder severe
exertion. Thct-e are the qualities which
've require for use; for very few of u
would buy a horse for his .-ingle quality
of .-peed indeed, none but turfmen would
,..care to on such an one. 1 he general
public do not require such hort-ex, because
they have no use for them in the daily
routine of life.
"There are thousands of race-horses
bred and reared to the age of two years,
which, after trial, are found worthless for
the purpose they were bred for, and these
arc expelled from the racing studs in dis
grace, and they are sold for little or noth
ing; some of them aro given away, and
are much too dear even at that price.
Thus, our couutry, once famed for the
sbeat breed of saddle horses in the world
is becoming, overrun with a lot of worth
less, weedy, refuse racing stock, which by
tnany inexperienced farmers and breed
ers, arc gradually being crossed with,
and thus deteriorating the breed of our
sLort-legged, deep bodied, wide-hipped,
htrong Joined saddle horses, the lineage
of which, in a few invtances, we can Mill j
'traep. hv thpir pomnnrtt. ftirms In f hp Lrppri 1
-er., wno orea horses tor u?etul purposes,
3o carry men long distances, and not the
Fpindle-suBnked vclocipes bred by our
turfmen of the present day, that break
down after running a few furlongs with a
ibaby on their backs."
Seasonable Hints for Farmers,
, Rake up leaves from the woods as they
'fall, and put them in compost heaps.
'Cart headlands to the manure shed. Have
good supply of materials suitable for bed
'ding near the stalles. Do not attempt
to fatten more rattle than you can fully
supply with food, they will not afterward
flourish well, even if fully supplied.
Young cattle cannot le brought up in
ftcah at an outlay which will pay if ne-
glected early.
Skin old woods of the surface soil, and
Ti Dlace half its value as manure with lime
boo asneB in tnc wooas, ana ooin iarin
... .
.i .i t i t r
;and wood'.snd will gam by the exchange.
Get all the night soil you can, and mix it
ithheadlands.&c.for the compost heaps
Wet compost heaps with salt ley from the
Voap bo.u-rs, if you can get it. Use half
a DU-uei Oi rciuse sail io every coru oi
'compost, to prevent regermtnation of
"sreeds and grubs, &c. If you have not i
fcufiicieut cellar room, make piles of your
root crop, beets, turnips, carrots. &c , on
iigh places, and cover with one inch of
'dry straw, and then with twelve inches of
eoil; leave small openings at the top for
'escape of air, and dig a trench arouod'the
heap, with a gutter leading off 'to a low
er spot, thus keeping the pile dry. Do
3iot forget that corn is more valuable when j
'chaneed to fat -than when found in the
'hog manure; and to Becure the condition,
'Cook it before feeding to bogs, or your
manuere will be very rich at too high a
cost. Mr. Ellsworth has satisfactorily
proved ,that one pound of cooked corn
will make more pork than two pounds fed
in the raw state. -Working Fanner.
Wedding at a Death Bed.
Mr. R. Qc. Denning, of Harrisburg, Pa.,
who was injured on the Pennsylvania
iRailroad last Thursday, died tbo same
might. The Harrisburg Telegrapk says:
"The deceased had for sometime been
betrothed to an estimable lady of this ci
y, Miss Gray, and both looked forward,
to a speedy and bappy uuion. When it
"was ascertained that Mr. Denning could
'Sio't possibly survive, at, tho mutual re
quest of him and tbo parents of both,
they were married, Rev. Mr. Cafson per
foring the solemn and impressive oere
jjnony by the bedeido of tho dying man.
The bridegroom passed from tho alter to
the tomb, and the devotee, bride of an
hour changed her wedding garment to tho
iiabiliments of mourning."

an' a half wo stopt. I forgot to menshun
that thar was a black bottle tween tho

We got out uf the carrije on to tho

but a little to the rite, wuz a grate big

The Crisis Passed.
No ordinary victory has been gained in
our State. Everywhere it was the re
ceived opinion that our Stato election was
to decide the issue of the Presidential
contest. Wo accepted this conclusion,
although we felt sure, and are still confi
dent of tho fact, that we should poll a
stronger vote in November than at our
State election.
The combinations which have been for
ming to defeat us have begun to produce
a powerful reactionary effect on the minds
of thinking people. That effect will bo
deepeod and diffused by lime, and by tho
sixth of November we shall have gained
very largely on our Gubernatorial vote.
But recently this reaction commenced, and
in this election we have only tho first in
stalment of its effects.
The attempts at coalition and bargains
to defeat our State and local tickets, have
excited the indignation of all honest peo-
f
P'ei
even among our opponents, wherever
those coalitions were well understood.
But their inherent dishonesty and mean
ness were not so generally understood as
they will have been io two or three weeks
from this time. The fusion scheme of
the odds and ends of opposition to us was
such that its concoctors dare not openly
proclaim it. Wherever it was well under
stood, it produced a powerful effect in our
favor. In remote towns, and among a
class of the people who are diffioult of ao
coss to truth and sober reason, the dis
honesty of the attempts to defeat us was
not so generally understood as it will be
in tho future.
We shall give a larger majority for A
brabam Lincoln than we did for Colonel
j Curtin. A fusion Electoral ticket has
, not yet been formed, and tho indications
furnished by this election aro suoh that it
is probable that such a coalition will not
t now be attempted. Every vote which
oouia ne pouea ior a tusion ticket was

That decision has been rendered in an
unmistakable manner. Wo feel confident
that a better day is dawning on our be-,
loved country. Our national Government
ha been so long in the control of a cor
rupt faction that we bad misgivings as to
whether our country would survive an
other four years term of mismanagement
and fraud. Tbis was felt to be an impor
tant crisis in the history of the oountry.
The crisis may now be considered as safe

03A few day3 since an extra train
loaded with jack-asses was transported
over the Louisville and Now Albany
Railroad. The telegraph operator at Sa
lem, a boy, getting wind of it, set afloat a
rumor that a large delegation of Demo
orots would pass through at a certain
hour. Rumor, increasing as it flew, said
that many eminent speakers were aboard,
and that bands of music accompanied the
expedition. Immense crowds of enthu
siastic Douglas men repaired to the de
pot, bats in hand, ready for the expected
cheers. When the train thundered in
and an aged and vcnerablo owner of a
pair of faculous ears stuck his head out
of a Btock car and gavo vent to a long,
agonizing hee-haw, that fairly shook tho
hills around, consternation seizod the
crowd, and in two minutes not a Demo
crat was to be seen within a mile of the
depot. Complaint has been made to the
Superintendent against the operator, and
be is in momentary expectation of a no
tice to quit.

Where are They?
Is is strange that wo hear nothing from
Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York, in re
lation to tho new confu-icn in that State.
He should look after tho Breckinridge
party there, of which he is supposed to
be the leader. Soeakintr of the Dooirlas
and Bell fusion, he said:
"Douglas and Hunt's homogeneous fu
.toe national Democracy, to pack their
dud and leave for the Republican camp,
without delaying one moment in tho fu-
js'on half-way house. The gulf between
'tDe national Democrats and the Douglas
i meD is as wide as that between the rioh
man and Lazarus."
What does Mr. Dickinson think of the
fusion now, when his own party is enga-
ppA in it.7 Wh

who denounced fusion with the friends of
Douglas? We are anxious to hear from
these two Breckinridge leaders, to learn
their present seutiments on "a subject of

A Large Yield from a Half Acre.
The Rev. J.M. M'Ghee, of Rawlinsville,
Lancaster county, raised from a half a
cro of ground this season the following
crop: Thirty bushels of corn, sixteen bush
els of potatoes, one hundred and fifty
head of cabbage, twelve large pumpkins,
a half bushel of beans, and a peck of peas.
This is certainly a remarkable yield for
a half aore, and if any of our agricultural
friends know of anythig to beat it we
would be pleased to hear from thea.
The Camels in Texas.
Capt. Ecbeb of tho Topographioal En

camel for service in the South-West, by
bis reconnoitering expedition in North
Western Texas. Tho labor was very se

summer, tho camels did not have a drop
of water. On the day that water was
discovered, they indicated by their in
creased speed that they were approach
ing water, though the stream was ten
miles off.
