@ We copy the following extracts
from correspondence of the N. Y. Farm
cr and Mechanic:-
HoRsEs AND CATTLE.-AGE OF THE
HoRsE.-Relyea the blacksmith, has given
me his method to ascertain the age of O
horse. At every five years there is
clearly developed lump on the neck for the
first five years, it is about hands breadth
below the head and about the middle of the
neck; the second lump begins to rise about
a hands breadth from the first and is not
fully developed until the horse is ten years
of age; third commences after that period
and SO on. | submitted Dobbin to him whom
he pronounced to be fifteen years old; this
cannot be far from the mark. Sorrel he
told she had not the second lump full; know
her to be but seven years old this spring.
ELEcAMpANE RooT.-Mr. De Groat, the
best cattle and horse doctor we have in
these parts, strongly recommends giving
both horses and cattle elecampane root in
the latter part Of the winter and early in the
spring; for horses he considers it as COM
plete preventive to the horse-distemper, let
their exposure be ever so great. He also
gives me the following receipt as strength
ening dose for horned cattle. ..
STRENGTHENING BALL.-Take the volks
of 3 eggs, add tablespoonful of powder.
ed alum and mix we'll together, then add l
table spoonful of table salt; mix this we'll;
add / tablespoonful Of SCOT and mix; ado
warm water, or the emptyings Of a cider
barrel, and rye CT wheat flour sufficient te
make all into ball. Draw out the tongue
and lay it on the root of the tongue. On,
blood-root powdered, added to the above is
n decided Improvement.

TIE OHIO LEGISLATURE

Meets on Monday next. We anticipate re-.
markably short session. There is but litile bus.
mess to be transacted and we feel confident thar
the Wings will endeayor to make short work of
that. We have frequently heard complaints at
the length Of the sessions Of our Legislature
These complaints are not without foundation; bu,
itseems to US that the very persons making such
complaints are something to blame for the length
of time spent in rruitless legislation. All will
concede thar tits the duty Of the Representative
to obey the will Of his constituents. How, then,
is that will to be ascerainedl By petition. Yet
the people never seem to think it necessary TO
get up their petitions, and have them circulated,
until after the Legislature assemblies! Five or six
weeks must therefore elapse before the petitions
reach Columbus. All this time the Representa-.
tive is in state Of GLORIOUS inactivity ,"-onioy.
ing the full benefit of "two dollars a day and
roast beef" and why should he mott His con.
stituents should certainly be satisfied with his en-.
joying himself until they furnish him with busi-
ness. Hence we insist that the constituent is fre.
quently to blame for the length Of the session.
If the people desire short sessions, let them be.
gin the work in the right Place;-get up their Pc
dtons, have them circulated-signatures procur.
ed. and have them forwarded to the seat Of Gov.
ernment within a week, or at tho farthest, two
weeks after the assembling of the Legislature.
Let this course be adopted, and at least months
legslation,-or, perhaps, we should say lOafng
will be annually saved.
While speaking upon this subject, there is one
question TO which we would invite the especial
attention Of our readers, and, indeed, Of all oul
citizens. We refer to tar on dogs. Every few
weeks we hear Of fine flock Of sheep being de-
stroyed by some worthless ours. This is talked
over for few days, the owners loss lamented
and--fnally forgotten until brought TO our re-
membrunce by the recurrence Of a similar trans
action. Il is now reduced 10 certainty that oul
farmers must abandon the raising of sheep, ol
that the number of dogs must be curtailed. W.
therefore hope that our citizens will take the mat
ter into serious considerations that while ques
tons of minor importance are agitatcd, thiswil no
bo lost sight of; but that it will be laid before tht
Lcgislature,-that the people will demand it, no
as favor, but as a right; and that they viii
speak in tone that will not admit Of denial.

suB-TREAsuRY ROBBED.

The Sub-Treasury in Tuscaloosa, Ala, has
fallen into the hands of the Phistnes. ltseems
bya statement in the Monitor, that Capt. James
H. Deerine, the pension agent had deposited
about $4,000, in specie, belonging to the Govern
ment, in an iron chest, and placed it in the store
of amerchant of that city. The robbers, having
forced the doors of this store, bore off the iron
chest and Appropriated the spoils 10 their own
use. The Monitor thinks the loss ought TO fall
on the Government, as it had provided no safe
and the agent was instructed 10 keep the funds
in his own custody, instead Of depositing them in
q bank.

ILLNESS OF MR.. ADAMS.

We learn from the Boston Daily Advertiser
that the venerable John Quincy Adams was on
Thursday forenoon seized with paralysis of his
left side, which for time rendered him nearly
insensbe. He had just left the residence Of his
son, Hon. Charles F. Adams, in Mount Vernon
street, in state of health, when the gentleman
with whom he was walking, suddenly perceived
that he was aborng under some severe affection
of his limbs, and was obliged to assist him to
prevent his falling. He was conveyed back 10
his sons house and received immediate medical
aid. After a short time his consciousness re.
turned, and he was subsequently, much relieved
and able to converse, and we are happy TO learn
was not considered in immediate danger. Mr.
Adams is, we believe, about 80 years OF age, not
withstanding which he has hitherto been able
from the vigor of his constitution to endure unre-
mitted labor like man in the prime ofliie.

Washington and Harrisburgh. This greatimprove-
ment will make Pittsburgh the distributing point for

The proprietors Of the Gazette call the attention
Of the public to their publication as a medium through
which the latest possible news and commercial intel
gence, can be received from the eastern cities, as
far east and north as Boston and Buffalo, and from
Washington city and Harrisburgh. The st. Louis
and New Orleans line from Pittsburgh, will be COM
pleted in ls47, and we shall then have teegraphc
communication with the north and south. 1t is our
intention to avail ourselves OF all these means OF
procuring the latest intelligence.

THE EXECUTIVE AND GEN. SCOTT

One of ourcitizsns, just returned from the east,
brings the information that Gen. Scott has at
length received orders TO proceed to Mexico with
all possible haste. What must be the feelings Of
the old hero at this triumph. In the face Of all
the ridicule that has been so lavishy heaped upon
HMM spite of the desperate efforts that have
been resorted to to prove that he erred in judg-
ment, he has steadily perseVered. Every move.
ment of the army in Mexico demonstrates, be.
yond the possibility of cavil, the correctness OF
his conclusions-that he perfectly understood his
business; while the short-sightedness Of the Ex-
ecutive became so apparent that he has at length
been compelled to acknowledge the corn" by
falling in with the very measures he at first so in.
solently spurned. Wha' lesson does this trans.
action convey to the reckless demagogues who
great in their own conceit, scoff at any opinion
no matter how we'll fortified, that differs from the
course they have determined TO adopt. Events
all go TO prove that the Administration, with re-
gard TO the war against Mexico, have been wront
from the beginning. In the first place it wa,
commenced without an adequate cause, or the
shadow of cause; consequently in making tht
war we committed wrong. This fact beinl
clear, uncontroverted, and incontroverlible, w
cannot help admiring the noble resistance mad,
by the people of Mexico to the invasion of thei
territory while we are everready ytorejoice at the
success Of the American arms, we are forced Il
blush at the necessity for success in such con
lest. In the second place the American Execu
tive greatly underrated the Mexican character
Hence the entire want Of preparation displayed
at every step in the progress of thewar. Instead
of the degenerate and spirt-broken people which
he expected to tyraunize over, hehas found pop
ul0tion, divided amongst themselves tits true, bu
united in their attachment to home--ready 10 de
fend their soil or perish on its bosom.
This fact is now understood and generally &C
knowledged. The Executive himself, in effec
admits it by undoing nearly every thing that ha
been done. We are yotnthe dOrkwith regard
his future course. But the fact that Gen. Scott
ordered 10 start for Mexico is the first evidenc
Of the Presidents sanity that we have been en0
bled to discover for some time, and we could nc
let il pass without laying it before our readers.

Of the MonIezumasI" Asreyoltnga picture
would seem, ii is BY no means too highly colored.
Must such outrages be permitted to continue
without an effort being made to counlerscs Ihemi
We trust there will be too much independence
andPatriO,ismd displayed by the Wings at the com.
ing session to warrant such an inference. IL may
be said that they are in such a hopeless minority
that defeat will be the inevitable consequence Of
an effort. True, that may, and probably will be
the result. Sill it should by no means deter
them from making the effort. Let them contes,
the ground inch by inch, if defeat be the sure
precursor of defeat,-ls, them fight the harder.
If they cannot succeed in accomplishing any pos
hive good, they may at least prevent much evil.
The people, al the recent elections, have spoken
upon this subject. Let their decision be the ligh,
which will illuminethe Pa,hof the Wings through
the gloomy intersIices of Locofoco darkness.
