The nfdels. now in turn retreating, were

We suspect there is much truth in the follow
ing observations on
THE HOLLOW HORN.


ing observations on
THE HOLLOW HORN.
A FAIR OFFER.
Within few DAYS we have heard several farm
ers from the surrounding country complain that
their cattle have the hollow horn. We have had
little experience in the management OF cattle
and we are satisfied that it is nothing more nor
less than an attendant, sort Of hanger on, oil
that worst Of all diseases among cattle, the hoL-
Low Jellv. We know men who have cattle that
during the whole winter have been exposed to
the "pttiless peltings" Of the storms, with snow
drift or an ice cake for bed, and with nothing
but scanty pittance Of prairie hay or musty straw
for food, and who now wonder that their cattle
have the hollow hornl The wonder should be
that they have any cattle living
We make the following proposals to all those
owning cattle. Keep them under shelter during
the storms and cold weather Of winter. howell,
built of logs and covered with coarse hay or
straw, standing in dry place, is sufficient ioI
this. Salt them twice week regularly: give
them sufficiency Of wholesome provender, and
water at all times, and each of them mess o.
potatoes or turnips at least two or three times q
week. Keep your working cattle shod, and i
YOU work them hard, feed and nurse them &C
cordingly Do not beat them; never let them
stand in the cold longer than is absolutely neces
sary, particularly when you drive them to towr
with load Of grain or wood, or for any othe
purpose; do not let them stand in the street hun
cry and shivering, hour after hour, while you arr
in grocery drinking and carousing. Follow
these directions fairly, according to their tru
intent and meaning, and in the spring, we vii
engage to pay for all the damage you have sus

l WENT OUT TO GATHER FLOWERS.

BYE. NJ. ovERFELT.
went out to gather flowers
One pleasant morn in May,
And rambled through the bowers
IN search Of violets gay.
The first saw presented
Rich gems Of purple hue;
But with them was not contented,
Having others still in view.
The next were more enticing,
All tinged with scarlet red
Those would have me suficed,
But others saw ahead.
Thus bent my way, exalted
At the prospects had found;
Every now and then halted
To gaze on fowrets round.
With ambient charms was Hatred,
That there's none so blessed as mo,
But soon my thoughts were scatred,
TO try what could see.
With eager steps advanced,
Passing many flower by,
For still ahead fancied
Some richer gems did lie.
But soon my journey ended,
The bower Id passed through,
With flowers unattended,
Nor could any view.
When awakened from my musing
The sun had hid his face,
And evening fast advancing,
With winding path to trace.
Then turning short, hasten'd on,
To gather flowers I'd passed,
When 10! oil was withcr'd, rent and torn
BY times destructive blasts.
Thus in hopeless melancholy,
Preached my cot again,
Repenting of my folly,
And the time I'd spent in vain.
The moral of this, fair daughters,
Who dwell in beauties bower
Never slight lovers offers,
Because he's in your power,
Lest the sun of light should leave you
And all YOUR CHARMS depart,
And afterwards 'twould grieve you,
That you'd lost LOVERS HEART.

Who is Mr.. Badger, the new to BY Sec
rotary Of the Navy Tie question, it
seems, need not be asked in North Caro-
lima. for there he is too well known to make
it necessary. 4 correspondent Of the Ma
ional Inteiligenccr gives the following ac-
count Of him -
lie is native Of Newborn. He obtained
a license to practice the law before he was

Der Of the Legislature Of North Carolina,
but his limited circumstances compelled
him to abandon politics because he was
poor, and had widowed mother and two
sisters to support. The legislature, when
he was yet very young man. elected him
Judge. \ sense Of duty to himself his
mother and sisters, required that he should
not remain on the bench al 2 small salary
when his splendid talents ana extensive ac-
quiremcnts would command the most lucra-
tive practice. He resigned his scat and re-
turned to his practice at the bar. Mr.
Badger is Justly regarded as one Of the
very ablcst lawyers in the United States.
! lie rarely ever speaks longer than one
hour on any subject, end in that time will
do ample Justice to his client, and cften
dcmolish a three days speech of his adver-
sary. When that accomplished scholar
and jurist, VIM. Castor, was ct the bar,
Mr.. Badger, though much Younger man,
was his formidable rival. If had eau e
in any court in the United States, would
as soon employ George Z. Badger as any
man in America.
Mr.. Badger was the leader Of the Jack
son party Of North Caroliu-. The same
party in North Carolina nominated him Us

The Political Judge,

The Harrisburg Telegraph is trying to answer
the question-"why don't Judge Banks resign ~
He copies an article from the Easton Wing, in
which the following occurs:
at is the wish of the greater part of the in
habitan,s of the district over which the Judge pre-
sides, that he should retain his Office. That they
desire no change-and would rather have justice
meted out with an impartial hand, than have vic.
lent, ranting politician preside over their tribunals,
which would most likely be the case the ap>
pointment placed at the disposal of the Executive"
Now compare this with Judge Banks notorious
Fourth OF July letter, in which he denomnates the
Democrats, among other hard names, as "Forgers
and Tories"-teIms that never used, without
caution, even by ga violent, rantng politician !"

TO state of health then, it is only necessary TO re-
move the cause of disease, and the end is accom-

can be removed by puTgation, which is the only
