Every inch of rain that falls on n roof
yields two barrels to every space of ten feet
square; and seventy-two barrels are yielded
BY the annual rain in this climate on SINH

yields annually eight hundred and sixty four
barrels; this is enough for more than two
barrels day for every day in the year

five times that amount Of roofing on their

ally more than four thousand barrels of rain

The ExiIes on the Island OF Jerscy---
Their Probable Expulsion.

kossuth, under date of Nov. 23d, thus
writes the n. Y. Times respecting the proba-
bic expulsion of the French Exiles from the
Island of Jersey:
have positive information that Louis Ma
poleon Bonaparte had determined impera-
lively 10 insist on the expulsion of political
refugees from England. He is perfectly con-
scious of the advantages of his position; and
knows that the British Government is too
much in fear of him as that they could dare
to refuse him anything. apprehend Lord
Palmerston will make good mlen to a bad
game, and introduce the Alien Bill TO Parlia-
ment. The thing is, however, too odious
not to require "A little stratagem. The eX
citcment about the Pvatt letter is cleyerly re-
vived from time TO time. They are, Of course
sufficiently dull not TO see that the particular
case of three French refugees is one thing,
and the tight of asylum is another thing
Thus 1t comes to pass that whenever the Anti
Alien Bill agitation bids fair TO rise in i'm
portance, the pyatt letter is again brought in
to stav the current. The Government. how
ever. is afraid Of the Parliamentary opposi-
lion, mastering first rate debaters in its ranks,
and the question is under serious considera-
ton, whether dissolution were not advsa-
bic, inasmuch rs they hope that the awe in
which the country stands Of Bonaparte will
help them to throw out the uncomfortable
elements from Parliament. However this be,
have not the slightest doubt that the GOV
eminent will introduce, and will carry the
Alien Bill. | think it due TO the sense Of
personal dignity to remain passive and silent
on the subject. Let England do as she likes.

The kind Of food for animals should be
changed frequently. A horse, long kept on
shorts, will be affected By fever in his legs
and feet, producing a result similar to foun-
der. Shorts, corn meal, or cob meal, should
never be given, except in a mixed state with
cut hay, or straw. This will require them to
eat slower, and the food is better prepared
for digestion. If given alone, it ferments
rapidly in the stomach, produces general
fever, INJURIES the digestive powers, and final
~ produces stiffness throughout the limbs.
When these results are discovered. the rem
edy is change Of food Continued feeding
on oats, alone, will produce ne same results
as shorts, or meal and many founder is
caused by it, as well as by feeding or drink
ing when the horse is warm. If necessity
eompels a person TO feed horse on shorts,
corn meal, oat meal, or cob meal, a supply of
salt should be added to prevent fermentation

RoBBERY.-A bold and daring robbery was
committed night before last on the other side
Just rs the cars were starting for Chicago
MIR. Foster, from Monmouth, had been in this
city making some purchases, and was return
ing. He had taken his seat in the cars, but
before they started he got of the train and
walked a few steps towards the woods, when
hearing steps behind him, rs he was in the
act of turning to see who was following, he
was struck with slung shot and knocked
senseess. When he recovered conscious
ness he discovered that he had been robbed
of 800 in gold. The train had gone and he
returned to the city.
1t is not known whether the robbers re-
turned to the city or got aboard of the cars
for Chicago. But thus far no clue has been
discovered and they are still ut large with
their booty, and are likely to remain so.--

We wonder if the sapient Statesman is
still prepared to say, as It did last February,

Of queting agitation1 ~ 1t produces such
"Quiet' as this; fights, assassinatons, sham
elections, lynchng, arsons, murders, and a
worse brood Of evils than ever before cursed

Has it " taken the question from the General

Has it not brought the question right back TO
the very heart of Congress, to renew again
the old chaos and bring back the old and Bit
