prescribed by physicisns, had utterly failed in
which casoy ,hey also permanently secured

Mr.. Allen says that he does not intend
to soil any Of them until he discovers that
they will DO likely to reach at least one.
half the weight in this country tina, it is
asserted in the London Farmers Journal
they doin England, which issirseen hundred
pounds. But Mr.. Alien, who in this, as |
ttank, in oil his recommendations would pre-.
fer to be underinstead o fovcr the mark, does
not intend to recommend them rs likely to
weigh over ~ or 1900 pounds, full grown,
and fatted in a Kentucky cornfeld.
While at Mr.. Aliens, / saw some Of tlte
stock of his celebrated Bellfounder horse,
that appears 10 Inc to he just such horses
as We ought to breed for farming instead OF
fancy. They are beautiful bay, very fast
t%rotters, and capital ID tho harness, Of un-
der the saddle.
Mr.. Allen, in connection with his BROTH
crs Lewis +. Allen and Richard l.. Allen,
also have a very fine lot Of Durham and
Devonshiro cattle, and in my humble opin.
ion, the mixed bloods Of these two kinds
are the best stock for the general use OF
the western farmer that can be raised.
One more word in the way Of advice, to
all buyers Of stock. Never purchase from
any man but ono of known and established
integrity, who has a character TO lose, but
which he Is determined never to do.
Never order stock shipped late in the
fall. I assure You that they fare bat
enough in good weather, and 10 cold ane
stormy weather. pigs in particular, ofter
suffer so much on the voyage, that the,
are more likely 10 ~disappoint anticipation
than produce satisfaction. ut
If you cannot get them in the spring, OIL
before late in the fall, buy them and hire
them wintcrcd and sent forward in tht
spring. The extra expense viii be wei
repaid.
And finally, not only improve your stock
but improve your stock of knowledge, ant
10 do that, take and read some agriculture
paper, and if perchance you should tir'
over my long letter, just drop ME a hin
and | will not wait for the kick, but vii
in future improve my breed and style, ant
reduce The length Of my next to a genuin'
''short hand" subject.
And now, Mr.. Editor, may you move
have peace in your mind while You have
piece in your pocket, until you have in
duced a goodIy share Of the citizens Of tn
valley Of The beautiful Ohio to take a piec
of our monthly advice, that the best wa,
to keep peace in the family, will be- to &C.

"lhe Treasury Of the United States is
bankrupt! And this, too, in eight short
months after the accession Of the Wing

If orr respected contemporary had said"
in tuo months after the Wing party came

otherwise.

brief description Of the Agaricus Astra-

singular properties, and a. photographic view
ofthe plant in its different changes BY John
Redmon Coke, N. D."
This is one ofthe most remarkable pam.
phlets that we have seen for many years.
The Agaricus is the fungus spring,ng ur
in fields and grass plots, known by theco M
moi name OF" toad Stools" bearing a very
close resemblance to the mushroom Tho
Agaricus when it FIRST comes forth, Is as
white MS the hand ofa C~ireassiau bride.

the close OF its short life, it is seen in 81
delisuescent state, dropping a yiscious mat
ter as dark a. printing ink, and hesco It's

Dr.. Coke has written u full account of
this fungus; and having collected this plant
in its latest stage, he extracted ink enough
therefrom to print a small edition OF his
work. The ink is not quite black, but rath.
er resembles dark bistre.
The pamphlet is exceedingly Interesting.
and affords much information upon tho

Yesterday, by MIR. Hcwson, broker char
ged with having robbed the mail Of about
! $4,000, last Saturday. After a short es-

he is respectablyconnected, and was tohase

Observation-Disclosures of congress re-
ceive from the public treasury, forty cents
per mile, or eight dollars for every twenty
miles for travelling expenses. We believe
that is the amount. This is outrageous,
ia these times when travelling is SO rapid
aad cheap. A membcr Of Congress pays
four dollars to travel from Philadelphia to
Baltimore-ninety miles, and draws thirty
six dollars for mileagel He pays thirty dol
lars for travelling from New Orleans to
Pittsburg by steamboat-say two thousand
miles, and the time occupied is not ten days
he draws eight hundred dollars!! This
is robbing the people sith a vcngeance.
Some members take the most cireuitous
route that their mileeg- may be increased;
a member travelling two hundred miles a
day makcs eighty dollars! A pretty
round sum. Some member charge two
thousand or four thousand dollars mileage
annually! Admitting that the per diem
of members of Congress is not too bigh,
who will justify these exorbitant allowan'
ces for mileagel What excuse can be offer
ed for thcm9 If none, then why docs moi
some honest friend ofeconomy propose and
urge the reform upon Congress. The pres
ent rates of mileage were fixed years ago
when travelling was expensive, tedious ant
dangerous. lnthese days of railroads ant
steamboats,, the cause of high travelling
expenses are removed, and mileage saoult
consequently be reduced. We hope C.n
gress will reform this shameful abuse
