nights since an attempt was made by a
daring young villain who had been lei
loose but few days from the State Pris-
on, to rob an old man as he was passing
from his house into the back yard. The
Fellow had been seen lurking about the
premises all the evening, watching an op.
portunity to accomplish his object. As
soon as the gentleman had entered the
back house in the yard, the villain level
led blow at his head with club, which
fortunately was arrested in its fall by stTi-
king against the wall Of the building.
Murder was Immediately cried, which
brought to the old gentleman's assistance
several persons. The fellow perceiving
he was likely TO be arrested in his villa
my, came running up from the lower end OF
the yard to the gate which leads into the
street, crying stop him !--stop him there
ne goes! In his course ne run against
two young men whom he nearly Knocked
fdOyn. 1t was however soon found out
THAT he was the villain, and the pursuit was
renewed until they overlook him. Upon
Hcoming up with him, he made sudden
halt, and exclaimed Damn him, l
could not catch him :" well, can, replied
the pursuer, and, seizing him by the col,
lar, conducted him to the police office,
where the justice Immediately accosted

some surprize at seeing him there again
so soon. He was ordered to Bridewell,
to take his trial at the next quarter SEES

t" The committee Of the Senate on the
subject of the Seminole War, made their
report this day. 1t is long aud elaborate !;
comprehending facts, arguments and o.
pinions, but offering nc specific proposition
for the Senate TO act upon. 1t animadyerts
with great severity on the conduct of
Gen. Jackson in raising and offering a
body Of yoiunteers-iu executing Arbuth-
not and Ambrister--in capturing St. Marks,
Pensacola and the Barancas-in ordering
St. Augustine TO be taken, &c. &c. It
occupied about an hour in reading; and
was ordered to be printed. What course
will be adopted in relation to it am not
able to predict.
!" The house have been several days
engaged on the United States Bank; and
have to-day, in committee of the whole,
decided, by very large majorities, against

in height-35O feet from bank to bank
across which is thrown one entire arch,

The project of this vast work was con-

ting. The architect was Col. Ezra Brai-

have lately read an essay of Mr.. Landon,
Of Connecticut, on what he deems the cheap
EST method of preparing cattle for the stall,
the substance of which is here given.
In the winter of 1917, Mr.. L.. fatted an OK,
and an heifer, in a way that, he found cheap
er than any common keeping. He ratted the
heller first. Her food for the purpose was
chopped straw, scalded and seasoned with
salt, 10 which was added a little meal Of In
dian corn and OATS, and a sulail Advanced
oil cake, or boiled flax seed-the whole mix
Ed up so as to form a mash. Of this about
| three pecks was given at a time. In fa,tIng
! the hsifer she only eat about a bushel OF
given her. The OK was afterwards faited in
| pretty much The same manner, IS nearly as
we are able to understand this report of the
| two cases; for Mr.. L. appears 10 have been
| more of an adept in fstting, than ih Goscrio-
| ing the manner with ciearness and precision.
According TO his account, however, it ap-
pears that his profits in pursuing the mode
was very and he says that the
| fatting ofthese cattle afforded more clear pro-
| fit, than he had derived from all the cattle he
had ever before fatted. 1t would seem, in
| deed, that he considerably more than dou-
bled The price of his cattle in fatting them, y
that the expense OF il was very inconsidera-
Bile.
Thi. being the usual time for commencing
| the business Of fatting for the winter store, |
have thought proper to exhibi, the plan OF
| Mr. l.. from a belief that it is excellently "a
| dapted for fatting cattle with the least ex-
pense. II will readily be perceived, howe
yer, that the fall pasture is calculated to OBJ
viate the expense of using boiled hay but
! have no doubt that when good hay is steam
boiled, which may be done with a little ex-
pense, it is just as nutritious for cattle as
when in its green state.
