tTltc jfavmcv'js Department, Contraction of Horses' Feet- Mr. Jennings, late Professor of An atomy in the Veterinary College of Philadclph : a, we regard as one of our most intelligent and skillful veterina ry Burgeons, and entitled to great con fidence in his profession, lie has written much and well for the differ ent journals, on the diseases of ani mals ; and the following article on the "Contraction of the Feet of Hor ses," strikes us as a very clear and satisfactory statement of its cause and remedy, and deserving of attention. The tendency of a horse's feet, in a healthy condition, to expand when ever the weight of the body is thrown upon them. Being a very complica ted piece of mechanism, they arc very easily disarranged, and T>nce out of order arc difficult to repair; hence the necessity of preserving them in a sound condition. CONTRACTION IS CAUSED —Ist, By cutting away the bars of tho feet, which are the mainstays for the sup port of the quarters, -d, By (open ing the heels as the smith calls it,put ting away a portion ot the frog, in consequence of which the moisture of the frog becomes absorbed, losing its elasticity, and destroying its func tion, thus exposing tho feet to injury, by concussion. 3d, By standing up on plank floors. 4th,- By improper shoeing. An ordinary observer will, upon examination of the common shoe, notice that it inclines from without in ward* at the heels, thus forming a concavity for the feet to rest in ; the consequence is a lateral resistance to I the expansion of the hoofs, when the weight of the animal is thrown upon them. The effects of this resistance is to force the heels together, crea ting pressure upon the sensitive parts within the horny case; establishing fever by which tho moisture of the hoofs arc rapidly absorbed rendering the hoofs hard, brittle and liable to crack, and not unfrequcntly causing corns, navicular joint lameness, bony deposits to be thrown out from the lat eral wings or processes of the coffin bones, rendering the animal perma nently lame or unsound. These are | but few of the bad effects arising from j contractisn; enough, however, to serve our purpose at present. REMEDY.— Preserve a level bear ing by making the shoes perfectly flat on the quarters, so as not to interfere with the expansion of the feet. Should contraction already exist to consider able extent, bevel the shoes slightly outward at the heels, in order to fa cilitate expansion. Care should be used not to bevel too much, or bulg ing at the lower part of the hoofs at the quarters will bo the result. The shoes should in 'll cases bo forged and not twisted, as is sometimes done to save troitbleby the bungling smith. Proper applications, to soften the hor ny parts and promote elasticity, shonld also be used. Such prepara tions arc put up in the form of hoof ointment. Hons IN ORCHARDS.— «-Mr. 11. N. Langworthy holds this sensible lan guage in relation to a subject which iias generally met with the approval of farmers, viz : allowing hogs to run at large in the orchards in the fall of the year, with the view of devouring the wormy fruit, and thus diminishing the depredations of the worms. I regard hogs in an apple or pear orchard as a'nuisance. 1 apposed them a benefit some years ago, because I thought that they would destroy these worms or caterpillars, which prey upon the fruit—that as soon as the apple fell to the ground, its de struction by the hog would insure the destruction of the larva) which pro duces this insect. 1 refer to the in sects which are about this time laying their eggs in the blossom end of the young fruit, and whose larva} burrow into the apples, making their way from the eye to the core. And I hoped by keeping hogs in my orchard, even tually to secure perfect fruit. But I do not find that the proportion of in jured fruit diminishes ; and I am sat isfied that the insect leaves the apple before it falls, and enters the crevises in the bark, and the hogs rarely get hold of it. CUKE FOR CORNS. —We have an other, and we believe the ten thous andth remedy for corns: we give it for what it is worth. If the plaster be really good, mid it looks like it, the coru'before applying it, will be un necessary. " Take two ounces of guui ammo niac, two ounces of yellow wax, and six drachma of verdigris ; melt togeth er, and spread the composition on a piece of soft leather or linen. Cut ♦.way as much of the corn as you can with a knife before you apply the plaster' which must bo renewed in a fortnight, if the corn is not by that time gone. A CATERPILL.AU TRAP.—A French gardener finding a piece of woolen cloth which the wind had lodged in a tree, covered with caterpillars, acted upon the idea suggested, and placed woolen rags in several-trees. Every morning he found them covered with the caterpillars which were easily re moved. TUE London Gardeuer's Chronicle has hit upon a happy way of mark ing trees, by cutting the name in the bark. A decent scratch is sufficient to last. The Invasion of Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS, August 10.—Though there is nothing definite or reliable from the border to-day, there are many rumors, and some indications, that the rebels are again threatening the Indianashore. (Jen. Hughs reports that firing was heard pear Mt. Vernon, and it was supposed the -13 d veterans, who are stationed below that place, may have bad a fight, but nothing is certainly known of the matter. Cavalry equipments have been sent down to the Forty-third, and the country will furnish horses to inouut them. An efficient mounted infantry force will be speedily ordered. The citizens have been called out to assist in the defense of the border by (Jen. Hughs. Regular drills are ordered, business partially suspended, and all due preparations made to meet any emergency. The Thirty-second German regiment left here last night for Evansville, in high glee at the chance for a fight. llebel refugees, in large numbers have crossed into the State for the purpose of co-operating with the secret Democratic society to burn bridges, and otherwise in teicjpt communication with tho border. To-day was the day set by the treason able secret Democratic societies to burn bridges, and otherwise interrupt commu nication with the border. To-day was the day set by the treasonable secret so cieties, for a general demonstration in this State, doubtless to assist the rebel raid of which they were fully advised, but the cooler heads of the party have probably checked it. One of them stated to-day that it was with the utmost difficulty that open violence was preveuted, and in the southern counties it is by no means safe to conclude that the dancer is pastjpd. It is said that some fifty wagons with Copperheads, armed and prepared for a fight, came and camped near this city last night, but General Carrington was wide awake, and took efficient means to prevent' trouble. Whether the report about the wagons is true or not, it is certain that an unusual number of Copperheads from J Morgan and other adjoining counties was here to-day, doubtless in pursuance of a well understood plan. They will have a good time if they goon with it. We had a good refreshing rain here to day and last night, which M ill help to fill out the crops from a fcarl'ul injury. There is no douljt that the rebels in Kentucky and tho secret Copperhead so cieties in this State are operating togeth er, and fully understand ccha other's movements. The danger is no chimeri cal affair, but is serious and imminent but it is prepared for, and those who be gin the game of violence will find it a hard road to travel. •Governor Morton and Mr. MoDonald speak at lirownstown, Jackson county, a hot-bed of rebels, to-day. The Peace Democrats openly sneer at I inability to cope with Govern or Morton, and after a brief show of pluck in a joint canvass, he will be compelled, much to his own delight, to abandon it. DENIES THE CHARGE. —An officer in Sherman's army thus denies the charge that the unfortunate termination of 51c- Cook's raid was due to the drunkardness of the men : "If the result of an expedition which destroyed seven miles of two different railroads, the same length of telegraph wire, burned over one thousand valuable quartermaster and commissary wagons, destroying their teams, killed and wound ed by their own showing nine hundreiTof the enemy, and finally after hard fighting for several hours against twice its num ber, of both infantry and cavalry, cut its way through and came home, crossing an unfordable river, with but small loss of life in comparison to which it inflicted, can be called disastrous, it may bo some consolation to those whom GEN. McCook's reputation is dear, or who had friends under his leadership, to know that Gen. Sherman differs radicallyjfrom those that think so. As to the whiskey question, I know from personal knowledge, that the heads were immediately knocked out of the small number of barrels taken, and the whiskey poured out. and this was at Fa yetteville, two days before the fight." RECRUITING TIIE PENNSYLVANIA STATE GUARD. —GoAernor Curtin has just issued an order for the immediate organisation of a portion of the"State Guard" authorized by the recently adopt ed act of Legislature. This portion is is to be composed of three regiments of infantry, two squadron of cavalry and four batteries of artillery, recruited of men between the ages of eighteen and fifty and by preference of men not sub ject to draft under the United States laws. The men thus raised will select their own officers, from men who have been honora bly discharged from National service, and they will be clothed, armed, subsisted, discipline and paid as United States troops; they are to be employed only in State defence. Persons qualified by ser vice for positions as company officers will be authorized to recruit uompanies and squads on application to the State Inspec tor General. The men are to be enlist for three yerrs, to be called into service whenever their services is needed. Op erations must be commenced at once, as a draft will be ordered to fill the organi zation provided for, unless the men are recruited within thirty days. #Hk,,Two thousand of the rebel prisen crs at Camp Morton, luidianapolis it has been ascertained, are members of the treasonable Democratic secret society known as the Sous of Liderty. It was intended to release these to help in the contemplated work of inaugurating civil war in Indiana. <» » IVNASION OF CHICAGO. —The World says Chicago is invaded by an army of Union men over one hundred thousand strong, to attend the Democratic Conven tion. What a pity they did not invade Virginia, instead of Chicago. We could then end the war without the trouble of adopting platforms, or listening to inter minable harangues from politicians. jgSgp' It is funny to hear how the whole household and its visitors talk to the baby.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, first issued April 10, 1811, has to-dfcy a larger aggregate circulation than any other newspaper puhlishedln America, or (wo believe) in the . world. Compelled a year since to increase the price of [ its several issues, or submit to the pecuniary ruin of its proprietors from the very magnitude of its circulation, it ha* probably since |>arted with some patron* to whom t its remarkable cheapness was a controlling; reoommenda- 112 tion; but others have taken their place, and it has now a more than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers and regu- i lar purchasers— au excess of at least Fifty Thousand over thono of any rival. And this unprecedented currency It has achieved by very liberal expenditures in procuring parly aud authentic intelligence, by the fearless expres sion of convictions, by the free employment of ability and i industry wherever it might contribute to excellence in 1 any department of our enterprise, and by unshrinking < fidelity to the dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Free- I dom. i By very large outlays for early and authentic advices 1 by telegraph and otherwise from its own correspondents with the various armies of the Union, and by specinl ef forts to furnish such information respecting Markets, Crops, new discoveries or improvements in Agriculture, Ac., as must specially interest fanners,we have as-ddiomdy lal»»red to make a journal calculated lo meet the wflhts aud subserve the Uiteresta of the rrodoelitt Classes Thw t end we have at least measurably attained; for no ( other newspaper exists in America or Europe which is , habitually read by nearly so many farmers and their fam ilies as is The Tribune io-dav. We shall lstn»r to increase both the number and the satisfaction of this by fur the most numerous class of its patrons. During the existence of the Whig party, this paper ( supported fliat party, though always sympathising with the more liberal, progressive, Anti-Slavery "wing" there of. When new issues dissolved or transformed old organi- ( /.ations through the spontaneous uprising of the people of Hie Free States against the repudiation of the Missouri Restriction, The Tribune hoartiiy participated iu that movement, snd was known as Republican. When the long smoldering conspiracy to divide ami destroy our country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the Slave Power culminated in overt treason and retail ion, * It naturally, necessarily regarded resistance to this con spiracy us paramount to nil other considerations. i\jpl de votod all it* energies and efforts tothe maintenance.>f our Union. In every great controversy which has divided ourcountry, it has been found on that side which natu rally commands tho sympathy and support of the large majority of school-houses and the decided minority of grog-shops, and so doubtless will be to to the last. Ardently desiring aud striving for the-early and endu ring adjustment of our National distractions. The Tribune leaves the time, the nature and the conditions of that ad justment implicitly to those lawfully in authority, con fiding in their wisdom and patriotism, * anxious to aid them to the utmost in their arduous responsibilities snd not to embarrass them even by possibility. Firmly be lieving in the Apostolic rule—"First pure thon peacea ble*'—holding that the total and final extirpation of Sla ver} Is the true and only absolute cure for our National ills —that any expedient that stops short of this can have but a transient and Illusory success—wo yet pro pound no theory of "reconstruction" and indorse none that has been propoutidad by another—neither Stun ners, nor Whiting's, nor any of the various (Copperhead devices for achieving by surrounding the Re public into the power of its traitorous foes—but, exhor ting. the American People to have faith In their Govern ment, to re-enforce their armlet and replenish their treas ury, wo believe that, if they but do their duty, a benign Providence will indue time bring this fearful struggle to such a close its will best subserve the trne greatness of our country and the permanent well-being of mankind.
