HoRsEs.-Those who have the care oil
horses are frequently very negligent in the
manner of discharging their duty. There
is no animal in existence so susceptible to
the effect of dirt, impure air, bad bedding
DC, as the horse. All excrements in a
horses stable, however small in quantity
should be removed at least once a day, and
4 clean dry place left for the animal to
Stand, or lie down on. Many horse when
sabied for an hours feeding, is placed in a
close, filthy place, without a breath OF
pure air--there obliged to make his meal.
We would almost as soon think of eating
in such place ourselves, as of COMPEL
in; horse to do it. If you have no win
dows in Your stable, by all means make
one at once, or knock off board, to let in
Ii, lit and pure air. When you have re-
moved tie droppings from the stable, at
night, strew the floor with dry straw; the
value of the manure will more than repay
the expense; besides rendering your horse
healthier.
Horses take cold very easily; for this
reason they should never be turned from
a warm stall, where they have perspired
for All hour, directly into damp pasture
Neither should horse ever be left to lie
Town over night in damp pasture where
there is no shelter, but let shelter be built
to which they retire at II ght. y horse
will never lie down in an open lot when he
can find a place of shelter; and if there is
no.hing better, they will always get near a
fence or tree Il. night.

kANsAs.-A large meeting was held at
Tecumpseh Court House, Kansas, on the
18th ut., pursuant TO a spontaneous call
which had been issued on receipt of the
Presidents Kansas message. The follow
ing resolutions were adopted by acclama-
ton:
Resolced, That we cordially approve of
the tone and policy of the late special mes
sage of the President of the United States
on Kansas affairs, as truly statesman like
document, truthful in its historical details,
and impartial in its bearings, affording, if
rendered effective, fair and honorable ba-
sis for quoting the present agitated condi-
lion of the Territory.
Resolyed, That the Presidents recon-
menda'ion to Congress to pass resolution
authorizing the people of Kansas at a
proper time TO frame State constitution.
deserves immediate attention and adoption,
as the peculiar condition of the Territory
renders ii most advisable that the prelimi-
nary arrangements for admission as State
should take place under the protection and
sanction of the general government.
Resolred, That we consider the present
as the most suspicious time for the true
patriots, bona fde settlers, and conserva-
i've men of all classes to come to perfect
understanding, and unite upon one plat
form-the supremacy Of the laws, sover-
eighty of the people of the Territory, and
non-intervention with or from the people of
the States.

those who did come, who were they? They
were the regular old fogies of ultra Abli
tionism, who have stood as the pillars of
: that party for the last fifteen years in Indi-
ana. And what did they do? They rallied
against the South, against the Democratic
party, and against the President. They
spoke in favor of interference in the Kansas
difficulties, of taking steps to furnish
Sharpe's rifles. and to produce evil war in
a neighboring Territory. They told mar
velous tales of having stolen negroes from
their owners, and of having sent them to
Canada BY their underground railroads.
