Properties of .Mules-Hoso to Choose, 6.c. "If you think of purchasing them for your own use, first determine whether you want them for the plough, wagon or harness.
 If for tiling the earth, look at the quality of your soil. If for light, sandy soil, or the rapid motion of a carnage, or light vehicle sf any kind, select them tall with round but slender bodies, with fat, bony, sincwy legs, with rather short tEin ears, clean head and as fiery an eye as possible in fine, those which most resemble the horse when brought on the turf
 If for tough clay land, or the heavy slow draught of wagon, select those with the largest heads, the longest Tapping ears, the coarsest limbs, the heaviest bodies; those which most resemble the Jack in every particular, except size. The latter are best adapted to plantations intrusted to overseers and negroes, as they will endure, without any apparent injury, to be beaten and bruised in such manner as would render one of the former unfit for service for days.
 Colts 10 mako first rate mules should never be under feet inches when foal- ed-if erird, they should be from 3 feet 5 inches to 3 feet inches.

From the Southern Planter. BIRTHSTONE FOR CATTLE.

Dr. Barileit--It is probably known to many of our farmers that Birthstone is val- uable for cattle in keeping them from ticks. These yerniin are not only filthy in their appearance, but an injury to cattle. A piece of birthstone as large US grain of corn, well pulverized, given in little salt. will cause them to drop of, and prevent others from getting on for eight or ten days. consider birthstone as necessary for COW in the summer, as salt JACOB.

necessary for a clear understanding of the
principles by which they were guided in the
selection of the treatment by them adopted.
For the best dissertation on each of the a.
bove subjects the Trustees will award and
pay the sum Of forty dollars, or will present
u gold medal of equal value, at the option If
the author.

mums, must conform to the following ,eyu-
iatiOES, VIZ !:

the Trustees, OH or before the first day Of

the outside, and his name and place Of resi-.
dence within. Both dissertation and letter

ed, if application be made therefor withiIs
three months from the annual meeting; but
all such as remain uncaAed for, after TIA ex.

DEAR SIR-Percevng in your paper Of
yesterday paragraph relating to the with
drawal OF the steamboat Lexington from the
Providence route, which inIess al enquiry as
to the cause, will briefly state that the rca-
son why she was withdrawn was, that she had
no connexon with the rail road from Boston
OH those days that she came this way; conSc-
quently her travel was light; and rather than
have any interference with the other boats at
this advanced state OF the season, thought
it proper to withdraw her.
Her machinery is in perfect order, and she
was no, bought off nor was there any reason
why she should have been, as she cashed
with no one. c. WANDER BiLT.
P.S. The Lexington ran three months;
running days 79-ln which time she perform
ed the distance of 1880 miles, without be-
ing detained one hour for repairs of any de-
scription. Nothing on record equals 1t by
more than % per cent.

ded the former tedious and tatiguing modes
OF travelling between the eXtrenlties and the
centre of the Unon-thnt number of Mem

one of the packets which piled between Bal
timore Tor some other port) and Boston, found
it difficult to beguile the hours Of their heav-
mess, or the days of their wearsomc length
and sameness. There were no amusements
on board, and few had been provident enough
to take books with them. One there was,
however, who had been more thoughtful in
this respect than the rest, and had in his
trunk few miscellaneous books, which he
kindly lent to his acquaintances. Among
these books happened to be Guuiver's Trap

Member of Congress, now no more, whose
life had been too laborously employed for
his reading to have been very extensive or
discussive, SO that he was not familiar with

mine Of wealth to him. He betook himself
to its perusal with the greatest avdlty, and
scarcely suffered himself to eat, drink, or
sleep, till he had mastered It's contents. At-
ter he had got through with it, and bad per-
haps read it over a second time, he returned

But, added he, after a pause, as n doubt

THE PRESIDENCY.

The aspects Of the approaching Presiden-
tial contest are as varying as the phases OF
the moon.' In the person Of Gen. Harrison,
hew competitor has not only entered the
lists, but present appearances Indicate That
he will be torinldabIe candldale. Ills nag
waves lar and vide, in the extensive West,
AMI his advocates h AVE- increased ani colt
time to augment, with astonishing pro-
gfess. 1t may be reasonably estimated, that
he will be the leading candidate in most of
the Western States. Indeed present appear
ances Indicate that he or Mr.. White will re-
ceive all the electoral votes ofthe South and
West. In any event Mr.. Van Buren, has no
chance of success in any fthose States
As to Pennsylvania, it appears to be divided
into various partles-one large portion OF the
people being for Daniel Webster, another for
Gen. Harrison, third for Mr., Van Buren,,
and probably fourth for Judge White. The
Jackson party are divided between the par
tizans of Wolf and Muhlenburg, and Judging
from appearances, these two factions are more
hostile towards each other than towards the
Wing party. The probability is that Mr..
Ritner, the An,masonic Wing candidate,
will be elected Governor ofthe State.
Should liberal Wing electoral ticket be
nominated in that State, unpledged to any
particular individual, but with the understand
ing that it would vote for the most available
Wing candidate, whether Daniel Webster or
Gen. Harrison, the probability is that it
would prevail in Pennsylvania.
In the mean time, Massachusetts and Yer
mont, and probably Rhode Island, Connecti
cut and Delaware, and possibly Maine, and
Maryland, will choose electoral tickets favor
able to Mr.. Webster. Under these cfcum-
Stances Mr.. Van Buren, may be left without
electoral votes enough to carry him as one Of
the three highest into the House OF Repre-
sentatves.
1t is then incumbent on the people Of
Massachusetts and New England, to adhere
faithfully to Daniel Webster, the man oi their
choice, and the great American Statesnan.-
They coincide with his principles, admire his
transcendant talents, and honor his probity
and ncorruptible integrity. II we are talth-
fu to our principles, aud make proper eliurts
there is every reason to hope that he may be
carried as one of the three highest candidates
into the House. In this case, he would be
more likely than any of his competitors to re-
ceive a majority Of the States. With this
prospect before us, the people OF New En-
gland should be firm and united, reposing on
their elevated constitutional principles, and
whether they succeed in electIng their favor
ite candidate or not, they will have dis
charged their duty faithfully to the coun,ry.
