~ Lieut.. John Heath. a patriot Of
the Revolution aged SO years, died re-
Gently at Winsor, Broome county, N. Y.
He was at the battle of Bunker Hill,
and the following incident is related by
the Binghamton Democrat: While
Heath was at Bunker Hill, the enemy
at one time received from the tories in
that vicinity, drove of stall fed cattle,
which they were pasturing just over a
rise of ground, at a short distance from
the American encampment, and oppo-
site to where Lieut.. Heath, then a pri-
vste, was situated as picket guard
Heath upon discovering the cattle, una
bic to resist the temptation, left his post
which was within range of the British
guns, and went and drove into tie
American camp "A head of the enemy's
cattle: receiving in the act, the compli-
ments of the British, in the shape of
two "a 10. shot, but without injury. On
hearing the report of the British guns,
General Washington despatched one of
his Colonels to reconnoitre, who met
Mr.. H. with the cattle, just as he had
passed the summit of the hill Mr.. H.
related to the Colonel what he had done;
the Colonel told him to go along with
his cattle, and he would take charge of
his post till he came back. He was alb
sent from his post only about half an
hour.
Heath heard nothing more in relation
to his exploit, from his officers till next
morning, when he was summoned to
General Washington's quarters. The
General demanded to know of him how
or why he dared to leave his post? Mr..
H. replied that he knew he was guilty of
violation of his duty; but the tempta-
ton was so strong he could not resist it.
Gen. Washington reprimanded him,
said he must never be guilty of leaving
his post again; that he would excuse
him this time, and directed Major
Humphrey to take down his name, and
Heath to leave. In the course of that
day, Gen. Washington sent him thirty
nine silver dollars and hind quarter of
a beef that weighed 6o4 TBS.

HORSE BREAKINa FOR HAREEss-
Before the horse is attached to any
vehicle, the harness should be allowed
10 remain on him in the stable several
hours during two or three consecutive
days; he should be led out so that he
may become thoroughly accustomed to
the trappings, and cord six or seven
feet in length should be fastened to
each trace. With this the horse is
quietly led about, one man performing
that duty, while another follows, hold
ing the aforesaid cords, which, as the
animal moves forward, are to be strained
so that he feels a slight pressure Of the
collar upon his shoulders. The inten-
tion of this treatment must be obvious:
if the horse is alarmed by the effect OF
the collar, the man holding the cords
which are affixed to the traces can in
stantly relax them; and again, when he
finds his pupil is reconciled, he may re-
new a moderate strain, and finally az
much resistance as he has power to
create. By this means, the most timid
horse will gain confidence, and by per-
severance the most refractory may be
overcome. A horse when first encum-
bered with harness, if Immediately at
iached TO vehicle, is astonished, when
required to move. at finding apressure
on his shoulders which he has never be-
iore experienced. He discovers an
other novel apparatus for confinement;
he is, in fact, trammeled, and endeavors
% escape; probably he plunges, kicks,
,r rears and becomes difficult to manage;
but by the simple process just recon.
nended all this is obviated.-Hints on
Training.

r The Kansas Herald !. the nam

~ The Kansas Herald is the name
of new Democratic paper published at
Leavenworth in Kansas. 1t will be
seen from the notice by the editor that
he has taken root, is now rather under
shadOtO, and perhaps may yet be up
tree. This publishing a newspaper
under tree is rather an open business.
We presume the prairie is the platform
of this paper; where are its advertisers
and subscribers?
All the type of the present number
of the Herald has been set under an
elm tree in the city of Leavenworth.-
Ourselves and our compositors have
been, like the patriarchs of old, "dwel-
lers in tents" for the last two weeks
During that time we have had almost
every variety of weather, heat and
cold, rain and dazzling sunshine, mists,
fogs, and thunder-storms. In addition
to these duties and difficulties, we. have
packed wood, built fires, cooked for our
selves, fought mosquitoes, and slept on
prairie hay on the ground. We have
at the same time superintended the
building of substantial Office, which is
now nearly completed, and done our
best to entertain and give information
to the crowds Of visitors who have
thronged our young city. Our selec-
tions have been made, our editorials
written, our proof read sitting on the
ground with big shingle on our knee
for a table. Think of this, ye editors.

~ "sY An OLD ONE.

A Hara0lSe on earIn,
And you who trust in lovers VOWS
olI'll show you what they're worth,
And what sweet figures you viii cut,
Unangeled and ungoddessed,
And somewhat of your chosen ones,
The tender, fond and modest.
Know, as each object still must have
A sunny side and shrouded,
OF man the lover is the bright,
The husband is the cLouded.
This is, alasl too sadly true,
And ahi it makes it sadder
To think, the fairer fell the light
!. The deeper seems the shadow;
That those, whose VOWS such fervor
-zr1 showed
You could not but receive them,
Will be the, first to break their oaths
land laugh that you believe them.
When once they have you safe at home
And get you to housekeeping,
No more they'll tremble at your frown
Or melt before your weeping.
You'll find yourself a household drudge,
A sort of upper servant
Cook, nurse, and seamstress, all in one,
Obliged to be observant
OF all his whims--a real slave
In every word and action,
Without the power to leave the place
Or to give satisfaction.
In him, who once so meekly bore
Your humors and caprices,
You'll find to wake resentment now
How slight cause sufices-
He'll make fuss if dinners late,
Or he should chance to put on
A coat you have forgot to mend
Or shirt without button;
Forgetting as he blames the hands
That should have made or mended,
How oft and fondly he has sworn
They only were intended
For loves soft pressure, flowers to twine,
Or music's strain to waken-
Alasi that woman should believe
And be so much mistakenl
Oh! why should fingers. that might
WELD
The chisel, pen, or pencil,
Be thus condemned to needle, broom,
Or other vile utensil?
In picking and preserving pass
Their days, and the creation
Of puddings, pies, or, now and then
BY way of variation,
In boxing squalling brats? "a part
/ can't forbear to mention
A crying eUa, which hope
The "Woman's Rights convention"
Will utterly eradicate
When it reforms the nation)
But husbands are my theme, the "great
First cause" of all vexation.
There IS dream of happiness
Each maiden's heart doth bear it
A vision of a pleasant home
And a kindred soul to share it.
But ah! it is dream indeed,
And one that passes fleetly,
For with the waning honeymoon
1t vanishes completely;
Then vainly will you strive to please
With many fond endeavor,
And hide your cares to lessen his
The charm is gone forever.
He fingers long or comes depressed
By business, wrath, or gloom
Clouds from the world to dim the light
Around your heart and home
And your inquiring, timid looks
And gentle, shy advances
Are met with silent sullenness
Or coldly careless glances,
When at strangers step, perchance,
The frowning brow will brighten,
And heartless voices chase the gloom
Not all your cares could tighten;
While sadly thinking of the past,
You strive in vain to smother
The sigh for times when you were all
The world unto each other.
Now tho this list of grievances
have enumerated
Should be sufficient to deter
"The uninitiated,"
Yet they are only gentle hints
Or warnings to the young"
And nothing, when compared to those
Which yet remain unsung."

OF the government official TO thai effect
THIS IS not the case. The grading or

and the stone abutmen,s and piers on the

ished. On the Iowa side the abutmen,
IS very nearly completed. and Golfer dams
are how being placed in the main river,

weather and water these can oe finished
BY the lst Of January next. As an order
from the war department cannot reach the
work IN the river at all, some other meas
ures must be taken if it is stopped. We

SATURDAY, SEPT. 2, 1854.

PoLrrIcs, at the presen, day. is an in.
trica'e study. 1t Is somewhat amusing
to observe the dit1eren, phases assumed
by political luminaries in different quar-.
ters.
Old ISSUES nave, In grea, measure
become obsolete, and consequently ne "
ones must arise--a demand was created
| for them. Election a, hand, and none
bu. Nebraska presenting itself, i. was
seized and made The foo. bali Throughout,
the Union; to be kicked in one direc-
ton in one locality, and to the very oppo-
site in another. and to be sent sky high
in third. In Iowa the wings universal
ly opposed it. and with them the great bo-
dy of the people. But in Missouri the
reverse is the case. There the wings
shouldered it and bore !, through the cam.
paign in triumph. With them i, was their
grea. Juggernau,, AID they worshiped j,
while intifel democrats rebelled agains,
i.
La louisiana the programme IS reTcr.
sed again, and the foot ball is kicasd in
another direction. Hunt. member Of
Congress tsom this State, being whig,
used his hes, endeavors to defeat the bill
in Congress, and it is conceded tina, the
wings Of that State will sustain him in
his opposition TO the measwe-the demo
Gratis are loud in their praise OF the bill.
In Texas another version in the pro-
gramme takes place, and Bill Nebraska
is kicked about from pillar to post by the
Democrats, with Gen. Houston at their
head, and have no sympathy with the lit
lie Giants pro,ege. And thus i, is,
poor child is Bill Nebraska, it cannot look
to any party for support. and no party will
agree to daddy it.
l. Is also quite amusing TO witness the
change OF feeling in Iowa, IN regard to
siIAs s41!IS AliI tttN.iJtI' ANc- |
braska democrats having succeeded in |
and obtained the reins of the |
party, were confident Of success,-,ook |
ne child in their arms, aud bore him |
alott, calling on the party TO follow them
md teai not what the atoli;ionists would |
10 unto them. Blu. alas, their burden
~axed heavy, and no one was there TO
'ss:s. them. Election came On and de-
eat followed. No one disputes the cause
hat effected i,-ant several of the dem
,cra,ie press that labored for the success
# the party, now denouecd the measure.
The spell the prestige is broken. De-
nocrats will no longer fear the adoption
4 this as party ties. democrats will
10 longer view Il as party measure, but
will be LEFT 10 receive the condemnation
which such an iniquitv merits.

Swindling in Shingles.

Last week we had conversation Wilh
Mr.. Anderson Chambers, Of the firm Of
Dunsmose & Chambers. Of Masca.ime,
in regard to the communications which
have appeared in this paper concerning
the swindling operations in shingles and
lumber.
The version Mr.. Chambers gives Of
| the single traffic is very fair one
He says tina. they buy shingles BY the
bunch and sell by the bunch, denomina-
each bunch 500, and that il they were
by law compelled TO AL the count, or
measure in the bunch, their own interests
would compel them TO charge more by the
bunch, and tina, in the long run /. would
amount to the same thing to the consum-
er.
Still, we approve Of an inspection law
belle wing j, would be the means Of Sc
curing full coun, in shingles, and compel
the lumbermen from the pineriss to deal
fairly with their commodities, no,with.
standing Mr.. G. thinks an inspection
law would be the means of driving all
lumber from our markets--that the lum-
bermen would not submit 10 it, but would
go further down the Mississippi, where
they have no inspection laws.
As to fraud IN the measurement, OF
lumber or TO the quality, he complains
bitterly Of tho communication, as !, casts
its arrow at the whole fraternity Of lum-
her dealers, making them all to suffer for
one culpri,. He says if lumber does not
hold on, in measure or answer in quail.
ty, when purchased OF them, 10 give their
names and he will answer to il. This is
fair enough. The rascals who swindle
the public in the sale OF this article ough,
to be named, and held up to public scorn,
as there are certainly some who are in
the practice OF giving short measure
who they are we cannot name, yet they
ough, TO be brought to justice. With us,
the complaint OF "cheated in lumber" IS
Of daily occurrence, and the people here
feel tina, they would be more secure in
the adoption Of inspection laws, and we
too think it would be beneficial Let as
have II tried.
