TRIAL FOR PATRICIDF.

Charles Ball was lately tried at Middle
bury, Vt. for the murder of his father. A
deal of evidence was adduced to prove the
insanity of the murderer, at the time the
horrid deed was perpetrated. The trial
lasted two davs. and the jury after being
absent about three hours, returned with 4;
verdict of manslaughter, and the prisoner
was sentenced to the state prison during
life. The trial occupies nine columns of the
Middlebury paper, and after reading the
whole of the evidence as reported, we are
surprised to learn that the jury did not find
the prisoner guilty Of murder. When asked
by one of the witnesses if he did not regret
the act he had committed, he answered,
''no, he would not give shilling, or turn
over a straw, to have it otherwise He
said, "as for going to the state prison he
did not care, but as TO being hung up for
a spectacle for the people to look at, he
would make his bed in hell first; he would
put knife in his heart" The deceased
was an officer of the revolution, and at
the time of his death received pension
from the United States.-.fib. .4rgus.

Fair Youth! remembrance of thy state,
When health sat on thy face.
Now makes more poignant beauty's fate;
For, fled has ev'ry grace.
What pity but some Lcthean stream,
Would cause forgetfulness
Nor like Mcnestho, waking dream.
OF that which once could bless.
But like Narcssus, thou art doom'd
To pine away in griefi
Nor yet, like him, sgain b ,bloomd
In datfodilla's leaf.
Hygeia cannot e'er restore
Thy former blush ofhealth;
Nor all the sweets of Hybla's shore;
Nor all the Gods Of wealth.
No-Geasinius cannot give
Thy wanted smiles and mirth:
Fate has ordain'd thou shalt not i've,
But seek thy native Garth.
Pandora's box, It's said, contains
Hope under all its ills;
Yet hope with thee to cheer retralns,~-
Her smile thy bosom kills.

KEEPING HORSES.

Every gentleman, who is obliged by his
health or business to keep horse, complains
of the enormous expense incurred by 1t. 1t
allowed to eat and waste as much as he choo-
ses, horse will consume from four to five
tons of hay in year, besides the necessary
grain. But it is asserted from actual ex-
pertinent. that ten pounds of good hay, With
two quarts of corn day are enough to keep
common horse in fine order. Ten pounds
of hay day are $3.50 pounds, little more
than a ton and half a year, and two quarts
of corn day are about twenty ythrce bushels
a year. Call hay dollars ton, and corn
4 shilling bushel, and you make the annu-
al expense offceding horse twenty-six or
seven dollars, about half as much as it com
monty costs. To keep horse in the cheap
est and healthicst manner, let him stand OIL
green turf, dug up pretty thick, and placed
OIL the floor of his stable-let him be care
fully curried every day. This is of more
Importance than is sometimes imagined. 1t
opens the pores and preserves healthful
state of the skin, on which, in horses as in
men, depends as much as on almost any

J ton of the various animal functions. Al
though the inferior animals are not like men
subject to unnatural appetites on account
| of unnatural stimulants received into the
stomach, they unquestenably often consume
more food than is necessarily to maintain their
vigor and spirit. This surplus it is economy
to ascertain and retrench. Corn is cheaper
than oats for horses, because there is more
heart in quantity of the same price. 1t is
bettcr to be given two or three times day,
in small messes--and to be given dry that
the mastication of it may keep the mouth

tare of the basket may be taken, and the hay
given from it in small quantities through the
! day, but chiefly at night. A horse that is
not used should be fed with corn sparingly
1t should be occasionally salted. 1t is not
perhaps generally considered, that horses
are subject to colds and fevers as readily as
men. They should therefore be used with
great tenderness and delicacy, and often
washed in cold water. The pulse. generally
indicates the health of horse. 1t may be
felt about an inch back of the eye. and ir
