MR. RAYNER

This rising young Wing member is highly compli-
mentcd by the independent presses for his speech
The Sub-lreasury Bill. The Baltimore Patriot says
Mr.. R,YNER, Of North Carolina, vivifed the debate
on the sub.trcasury, to-day, by speech Of unusual
power Of argument and eloquence lie took the
House by surprise for not only were the members in
general unprcpared for so fine display Of debating
ability, but even the friends who have known him
longest and valued him most for his high talent and
generous character and kindness of heart, did not
look for so brilliant and effective a speech He has
this day conferred high honor on the good old North
State. and on the Delegation Of whom he will here
after be regarded throughout the Union as one Of
the highest ornaments.

THE sUB-TREAsURY BILL.

The speech Of Mr.. SERGEANT, yesterday,
against the Sub-treasury bill was distinguished
for the accurate and extensive information, the
close and cogenl reasoning, and the chastened
and vigorous language which characterize all the
productions of his strong and highly cultivated
mind II was listened to with the deepest inte-
rest by members Of both parties and, if we
mistake nor, il will be ranked with the most
powerful and instructive speeches Of the ses-
sion.
Yesterday, Mr.. ALLEN, an able and much es-
teemed Wing member from Ohio, also addressed
the Committee of the Whole, against the Sub
treasury system, in very forcible and interest
ing speech.

his coat glossy and soft as satin, while his
action is spirited. and his courage and

DArs OF OLD.-For,y years ago. Literature
meant learning, and was supported BY com
mon sense. Refined nonsense had no advo-
Gates, and was pretty generally kicked out Of
doors.
Forty years ago, there were hut few mer-
chants in the country. few insolvent debtors,
and they rarely imprisoned for debt
Forty years ago, young ladies' Of the first re-
specrability learned music. but it was the hum
ming of The spinning wheel, and learned the
necessary steps Of dancing in following it.
Their forte piano was loom. their parasol q
broom. and their novels the Bible.
Forty years AGO, the young gentlemen hoed
corn, chopped wood at the door, and went to
school in the winter to learn reading. and wri.
ting, and arithmetic.
Forty wears ago, there was no such thing as
balls in the summer, and but few in the winter
except snow balls.
Forty years ago, if Il Mechanic proposed to
do your work. you might depend on his word
it wonld he done.
Forty years ago. when mechanic finished
his work, he was paid for it.
Forty years ago, printers were paid and
therefore enabled to pay their debts. What q

squAsHEs.-Ef you would raise squash
es for winter use, mark out on the surface
of the land six or eight spots for hills. eight
feet apart each way. Then take spade
or shovel aud dig out circle, say three
feet in diameter, throwing the earth out
six inches deep. Into each hole empty
wheeiharow load of old rotten manure,
mixed with ashes. and if there isa little in,
so much The better. On TO This draw The
loose earth hack which you lhrowed oal
of the hole. Now take your spade and
mix and dig the soil and earth well togeth-
er. raking care to pulverze the whole mass
faithfully. Level the top off and sprinkle
half an inch of rich loom over The top
Drop dozen seeds on the hill, and press
them an inch beneath the surface with :he
finger. With hoe smooth and press The
top down. Ii YOU have hox fitted to re-
ceive two OF four panes of glass put this
OH the hill; or rather, if you have such a
thing. place it Oh the hill before you plant
The seeds, and drop them within the frame.
Ultimately leave not more Than 'wo plants
in The hill to stand. You will find that
these will, in due time, run oui and cover
the land all over, and produce you more,
larger aud better fruit, than If you had the
hills nearer together, or allowed 4 greater
number of plants 10 stand in the hill. 1t
is well, however, to plant enough in the
first instance, as contribution to worms
aud bugs. lfyou save two healthy plants
out Of The dozen that come up, you will
do well, and these will he enough. The
roofs of squashes, under ground, will ex-
lend as far and occupy as much space,
where the soil is free and loose, as The vines
will cover above ground.

Hollow Horn.-Wirhin few days we
have heard several farmers from The sur.
rounding country complain that "thercat-
tie have the hollow horu." We have had
a little experience iu The management OF
cattle, and know something about this
"hollOw horn,' and we are satisfied that il,
is nothing more nor less than an attendant,
sort OF hanger on, Of that worst of all dis
eases among cattle, the hotioU belly. We
know men, who have cattle that during
the whole winter have been exposed TO
the "pitless pel'inss of The s'orms." with
a snow draft or an ice cake for he'd, with
nothing but scanty pittance of prairie
hay, or musty straw for food, and who
now wonder that their cattle have the hoI'
low horu. The wonder should he that
they have any cattle living.
We will make the following proposals
10 all those owning cattle. Keep them
under shelter during the storms and cold
weather of The winter. A howell built Of
logs aud covered with coarse hay or straw,
standing iu dry place, is sufficient for
this. Salt Them twice week regularly:
give them sufFiciency Of wholesome pro-
vender, aud wafer at all times, and each of
them mess of potatoes Or turnips, at
least Two or three times week. Keep
your working cattle shod, and i you work
Them hard feed and nurse thcrn according
Iy. Do not heat them; never le, them
stand in the cold longer than is absolutely
necessary; particularly when you drive
them to Town with load of grain or wood,
or for any other purpose, do not let lEem
stand in the streets, hungry and shivering.
hour after hour, while you are i'll grocery
drinking and carousing. Follow these di-
rectious fairly, according to their'rue intent
and meaning, and in The spring we will
engage to pay you for all The damages you
have sustained by the hollow horn.
