think it due to his constituents and the whole
country that the cause of his absence should be

The Brooks AND SUMNER AFFAIR-Not long
ago the public mind was agitated to very great
degree by the prospect Of bloody fight in the
House of Representatives when the question Of
the expulsion Of Mr.. Brooks should come up for
the assault on Mr.. Sumner. Colts rcvolvers were
in demand, bowie knives were sharpened up, and
the liberty Of speech was to be defended at oil ha
yards. For this privilege this lmmunity-the
whole North was invoked 10 unite and make com
mon cause against the violators Of constitutional
right Even the most courageous held their
breath for time"
But the crisis has arrived and passed Congress
still sits-we have yet q constitution-we have
still country. On the final vote the careful pro-
vision Of that constitution had it, full effect The
rights, the opinions, even the prejudices, (Which
that instrument respects) Of the minority were
protected. and Mr. Brooks was not expelled. But
he manfully placed himself In the gap-he yield
cd to the sentiment Of the majority and withdrew
from the house when he was rebuked. and sub
mitted to it, opinions In this way he has volun-
tarily expiated his fault, and in aproper manner.
He returns to his constituents and leaves bis fate
In their hands.
AL We have TO say about II il, that the croak-
ers are disappointed, public opinion is indicated
and the offence Is punished.
We see in this case the vitality Of our institu-
tons. their recuperative power, and the vindica-
ton they offer against those who provoke their
majesty. In the meantime the country goes on,
the riprAe in the stream Of events disappears, and
alive have to do IL to note its disturbance aud to
calm its waves
The follies Of Sumner and the violence Of
Brooks have but q momentary effect but we
should not overlook in future the necessity Of
more GOODNESS in debate and more civilty of ri
sentiment.

OLD HERKnER IN DANGER--A NARROW Es-
cApE.-We learn, from long exposition Of the
case in the Albany Atlas and Argus, that Old
Herkimer has narrowly escaped shipwreck, and
may yet go down with all on board. 1t is
said that 'there has been a studied and syste-
matte attempt on the part of General Spinner
and his associates for the past year. to betray the
democracy of this old and reliable county, and
to lead them gradually into the embraces of Sc
wardism.' "A Democrat" writing upon the
subject, says, in confirmation of this charge that
General Spinner lately called the democratic
electors of Herkimer together in convention, with
the "real design to have the Convention in
such hands as would endorse him, favor his re-
nomination (for Congress), and then resolve to
support John C. Fremont for the Presidency"
But il appears that the true democrats discovered
the trick in time to prevent the Convention being
packed with renegade democrats Of the Fremont
school, and thus defeated General Spinner in his
object Of turning over to Fremont in solid
body, the whole democratic party Of old Herki-
mer-hards and softs-in the lump.
Truly miraculous escape But what is the
real meaning of this movement Of General Spin
ner and the Developments that have followed it?
Nothing more nor less than this-that the Van
Buren, democracy have been harping so long
against the extension Of Southern slavery into
free territory, and have thus created 80 many
honest democratic believers in the Buffalo plat
form, that though the Little Magician" himsel
confesses it was but trick, his honest disciples
will not believe 1t now that the Kansas ques
ton is all the rage, but obstinately stick out
against the policy of Cas- and Douglas, and are
going over in whole platoons to Fremont. AT
this rate, in counting up the probabilities for Mr.
Buchanan, New York may as well be counted
out "Old Herkimer,r TO begin with, is given up.

Sharpening Edged Tools.

We translate the following from a
German scientific journal for the ben
eft Of our mechanics and agricul-
tural laborers:
1T has long been known that the
simplest method of sharpening a
razor, is to put it for half an hour
in water, to which has been added
one-twentieth of its weight of mu-
Ratio or sulphuric acid, then lightly
wipe it of, and after few hours set
it on hone. The acid supplies the
place of milestone by corroding
the whole surface uniformly, SO that
nothing further but smooth polish
is necessary. The process never
Injuries good blades, while hardened
ones are frequently improved by it,
although the cause of such improve
ment remains unexplained.
"Of late, this process has been
applied to many other cutting imple-
ments. The workman at the begin
ing of his noon-spell, or when be
leaves off in the evening, moistens
the blades of his tools with water
aeidified as above, the cost of which
is almost nothing. This saves the
consumption of time and labor in
whetting, which moreover speedily
wears out the blades. The mode
of sharpening here indicated would
be found especially advantageous for
siekles aud scythes.''

LICE ON ANDIALs.-Having seen in

earn and Cob Meal.

The grinding Of corn and cob TO-
gother, which We have heard ndiculed
very much bysome. formerly, has now
become anevery day occurrence, farm
ors hsiog convinced that the cob con-
tins TOO much nutriment to be thrown
away.
oar experience in r'garl to its use
is this: for those animals that chew
the cud it is a most excellent proven
der, bat for those that TO not it is not
so valuable. Thus, for oxen. COWS,
and sheep, it is capital feed. These
animals, after what they swallow in the
uaym vat, called the first stomach or
paanch, have the faculty of throwing
il up again in small portions called
cad, and chewing it over in a leisurely
manner until it is ground very fine,
and then after being thus thoroughly
mingled with the saliva, swallowing it
again into another stomach. where all
its nutritive matter is extracted by the
proper organs created for that purpose.
The horse and the hog having no
such organs to re-chew, do not derive
so much benefit from the ground cob,
as the animals above named.
Hens derive more benefit from
corn and cob meal, than they do from
corn meal alone. In fowls Of this
class there is an apparatus analogous
to animals that chew the cud.
First they take dry food into their
crops, here it becomes soaked as if it
were in warm vat, from this it passes
into the gizzard, which, furnished with
gravel stones, acts the part of grinding
fine, by aid of the strong muscles Of
that organ, whatever passes into it.
Here, the particles CT the cob meal,
thoroughly pulverized and mingled
with the gastric juices, become dis
solved, and form nutrition for the body.
We do not mean to say that corn
and cob meal is not good proyender
for horses and hogs, but that they do
not derive so much benefit from pound
for pound, or bushel for bushel, as OK
en-, COWS, etc., do.

A Troublesome Church Member.

-
Passing night in a certain neigh
borhood of A., we inquired of our
host, fair Christian man, how the
church got on, for We had passed a
neglected frame chapel at the cross
roads.
"0h, poorly" said he, @poory
enough"
why, what's to pay? You in a
thick settlement of intelligent people
not able to keep a minister and sup
port the gospel"
"Just so, said he, "but one troub-
lesome man has broken up the soci-
ETY.. and keeps it broken up. 1t was
an unlucky day for the church when
he moved here. He is person of
good parts, and has an interesting
family. Before he came here we hal
no troubles in the way" srg
We suggested that perhaps the
troublesome mans peculiariti7s were
not consulted; indulge him a little.
May be he wants to lead.
ooh, as to that, we have tried him
in the lead, and every way. He is
not satisfied with leading, but turns
arouad and butts the Nheel-horse.
We gave it up. Our host was a
farmer, and the illustration cut like
an argument. David had a few Of
that sort when he wrote the 18th
Psalm N. 0. Christian Advoeate.
