Shelter for Stock.-'The principles of
comfortable, economical shelter are little
studied, and much less praised than they
should be. Many think when they have
buill their barn, and are able 10 tie up their
stock at night, that every thing is accom-
plished; whereas they have only advan-
ced in the first step. To be sure this is
the most importan, one yel we hold, in
addition to the shelter Of the stables al
night, open sheds joining on TO and run
ming out from the barn, making al least
three sides of square, and enclosing COM
modious yards, are nearly as necessary
for summing and exercise by day, especial
ly Cor the younger part Of tile stock. These
may be made very cheap, with board
roofs and sides; and if sawed stuff is diff
cult to be obtained, with logs rolled up for
The sides, and we'll chinked and plastered
with clay, and poles over.laid with coarse
hay or straw for roof. Where timber is
scarce, stone wall, or all earth embank-
ment may be thrown up six or seven feet
high, or double row ofrails or light poles
can be laid up three feet apart. or so, and
then filled in with coarse hay or straw for
the wall shelter. The only objection 10
this is, that however poor the hay or straw,
the stock, frequently from mere wantou.
ess, will pull it aud devour it; but after
remaining one year, il becomes musly and
foul, and they are not apt TO do so.
Another great consideration in making
sheds and yards, and having ,hem we'll
supplied with litter, is, that by keeping
stock confined in them. all the manure,
both solid and liquid, is saved and in ad.
dilion TO their extra comfort, animals eat
less and thrive better than when unproec.
ted and suffered to roam at large. Water
for drink Of as warm Temperature as
can be obtained from a spring or we'll,
ought to be bounlifuIly supplied in the

of the seamen of the schr. Aler. Watson;

on Wednesday morning last in attempting
to cross the bar. Shortly after, both masts
went by the board, the vessel bilged and
filled, having only the quarter deck out of

The day. Thew cut The stern boat from

to attempt to reach the shore-bul before
they could get into her heavy sea came

adrift. They were therefore compelled 10

after leading the wreck The mate and
himself drifted together at sea. until Thurs

this, he, however. had been discovered.

took him off, almost exhausted having had
nothing to eat or drink during The time.
He had with him leathern sheath for his
knife, which he was compelled to chew

In one oironr late numbers, we mentioned

again called to il byn communication which
we published two weeks since, favorable to- the

future period, but for an honest conviction That

community, than which, no interest has been
so uniformly neglected or the position Of lis
members more slamelnIy regarded. Il will
be remembered tlius op the formation Of the

rict of Florida, who had been especially
authorized by the. Secretary Of State 10
visit that Island, for the receiving Of the
runaway negroes who committed mur-
der a, Key Biscayne, in September last.
The vessel arrived at Nassau on The 24th
December, when Col. Browne immedi-
a,ely communicated with the Governor,
Sir Francis Cockburn, apprised hin Of The
object of his visit, to which Ills Excellen.

and offence of the parties, which, upon
being given. a warrant was issued 10 her
Majesty's Judges, Lees, Sandland. and

in order that warrants Of apprehension
might be issued. The United States Mar
shai then laid before tile Court the Bills Of

counties Of Munro aud Dade, which was
overruled by the Court as not evidence ad-

iect of Mr.. Brownies mission thus brought
10 close, the Nautilus sailed for the o.
States.
tits gratifying to state that this delicate
business between Two nations was conduc
ted by Col. Browne with great prudence,
zeal and discretion; eliciting warm feel
ings of courtesy and good will from the au-
,borties of the Bahamas, and by whom
vas extended every facility to the Marshal
and the officers Of the Nautilus.
The negroes being still at large, and no
positive evidence thus far brought against
Them, leaves the matter sill open for far
lher pursuit, and we can buttrust that our
own Government will sufficiently appre-
ciale the Importance Of this subject, as
precedent, to pursue it 10 such an end as
will vindicate the supremacy Of our Ter
