SHoPLIFrING ExTRAORDINARY.-Am man ca IL
ing himself Oswald, and a woman giving her
name as Lima Eden, have been arrested in
Albany for robberies Of valuable silks, to a
large amount, from several of the stores of that
city. The lady was noticeable for her 70
markable beauty, and embonpoixt. Upon
being searchedby female in side room at
the Police Court, however, her remarkable
rotundity of figure was reduced to one of
most positive leanness, and more remarkable
than all, no less than $500 worth of silks were
found attached, by the aid of hooks, to her
skirts, and in singularly contrived pockets
The sum of S265 in gold and bills was found
upend Oswald, who is represented as being
cigar merchants in New York, and very re-
specially connected.

SPIRIT OF The MORNING PRESS.

The MtelligeNeer again regrets the failure
of the House to organize, and conceives that
the debate in their hall, during the past week,
has rendered the task of choosing Speaker
more difficult by generating increased pride
of peculiar personal opinion on the part Of
those gentlemen participating in it. The edi-
tor. advises the devotion of this hallowed eve,
and the more hallowed morrow, to pious efforts
on the part of the members to harmonic their
disagreements
The Unions leader is an earnest eulogy
upon Mr.. J. CLANCY Jones, of Pennsylvania,
and his platform resolutions.

Proceedings Of To-Day.

In the Senate, to-day, many petitions wer'
presented and referred, and various paper
| were withdrawn from the files The House
| not being organized they could transact NJ
other business, and therefore adjourned.
In the House, Mr.. Stewart, rising to per
sonal explanation, explained at some length
| the position of himself and other supporter
of Mr.. Richardson. He comm ended the frank
ness and complimented the patriotism of tn,
declarations of Mr. Fuller with reference I,
the Nebraska bill, and also criticised the ''let
the Union-slide" remark which had beer
charged en- Mr.. Banks He denied that tn,
Democrats were here either to sustain or op
pose the national administration, but to per
form certain well defined duties as representa-
tives.
Mr.. S. gave notice of his intention to intro
duco resolutions declaratory Of the devotion
of the House to tho Union, and proposing q
compromise, &c.
MIR. Clingman objected.
Mr.. Matteson suggested to the mover of the
pending resolutions to withdraw them until be
could offer another plurality resolution
Mr.. Banks asked mr.. Stewart to repeat what
he had said few minutes before, with refer
ence to himself, (Mr b which having been
done
Mr.. Banks explained that he had been mis-.
represented in what was said concerning his
remarks In speech in Maine He had never
expressed his indifference to the Union as it is
but to whatit would be if the policy to which
he was opposed succeeded, which he conceived
would make it, if carried out to its legitimate
results, repugnant to every man of proper
views. Mr. b. closed with an eulogy on the
union OF the States, expressing his devotion to
it, its value, dc.
Mr. Smith, Of Virginia, asked Mr. Banks
whether he had ever said that he would q let
the Union slide," and under what circum-
stances he meant
Mr.. Banks replied that he had said all on
the subject that he desired to say, and that
ar Smith might judge of what he had said
as suited him so to do.
Mr.. Smith, of Virginia, called the country s
attention to the fact that Mr.. Banks had viz
tually admitted that circumstances might
arise making disunion preferable to Union.
MIR. Grow addressed the House in explana-
ton of the alleged fact that in the last four
years similar sentiment had repeatedly been
uttered by gentlemen who were now support
ing Mr. Richardson. He (Mr. Crow and his
friends were devoted to the Union, but not to
tho reading of its bond and obligations as in
terpreted by the South.
Mr.. Rust called for a vote on his pending
resolution, to devote two hours per day to ball
loting for Speaker before anything else
Whatever should be in order.
Mr. Houston moved to lay this resolution on
the table; agreed to-ayes 81; noes rs.
The resolutions of Mr.. Stewart, of Nd were
then read for information embracing one dis
approving the restoration of the Missouri com
promise, and another disappearing the rejec-
tlon OF new State because slavery may be
recognized in its constitution, and othcrs-
nero our report went to press

CARROTS FOR MILK COWS.

We cannot appreciate the value of the
Carrot too highly as food for cows-ndeed,
we think it should be used for nothing else.
How much valuable winter food for cows
we could raise on half an acre of land, in
CARROTS, beets, &C., we are unable to judge,
but hear what correspondent of the Cul'
tiraior says upon this subject:
Messrs. Editors.-I have tried feeding
carrots 10 milch COWS, and will give you
ore of my experiments. have (April 18TH }
seven cows in milk--one calved in June,
the rest in September and October raised
80 bushels ruta bagas, and 400 bushels of
carrots, and fed them to my COWS, commenc-
ing the first of December. | gave them q
bushels per day, at noon, the ruta bagas first,
and when they were all fed out, the same
quantity of carrots. found, when had
fed the latter few days, that my cows were
each giving from two to three pints of milk
more per day, than when fed on ruta bagas.
was feeding my cows meanwhile, with cut
hay, and two pounds oilcake meal, and 23
pounds wheat screenings, grounds.
The thought struck me that should like
to know the value of carrots for making
milk, so selected the cow that calved last
for the trial. | weighed the hay, meal and
carrots, and fed per day 81 pounds OF hay,
d pounds of mixed meal, and % pounds OF
carrots, and she gave 35 pounds of milk per
day. then left off the carrots, and gave
the same amount of meal, and all the hay
she would eat, which was 33 pounds per
day. After feeding so for week, found
she gave % pounds of milk per day: then
gave her the carrots as before, and in eight
or ten days she came up again to 80 pounds
of milk per day.
This shows that carrots are worth to me,
to feed to cows, 50 cents per 100 pounds
Hay is worth $50 per ton in the barn, aud
at 8 cents per quart, or cent per pound
for milk pounds less hay, and IL pounds
more milk, give Is cents for % pounds o!
carrots. My carrots are all gone now, or
would try one or two more cows. Next
winter hope to have another opportunity
for experiment. ABNBR HAVEN.
