We learn that Francis Leber, LII. D., has
resigned bis place Of Professor of History and
Political Economy in the South Carolina Col.
lege, at Columbia. DR.. Lieber has held his
professorship for twenty years, and has dis
charged its duties with signal ability and sue.
cess. Beyond the limits of South Carolina the
College has shown quite as much by the light
reflected upon it from his name as by any orig
inal brightness Of his own. During the term
of his professorship DR.. Lieber has prepared
and published a number Of works on political
and judicial subjects, among which bis Manual
Of Political Ethics and his very able Treatise
on Civil Liberty and SelfGovernment stand
conspicuous, which have made him widely and
favorably known, which have drawn forth most
emphatic commentators from the highest au-
thorities, and have gained to their author the
proud distinction of being elected correspond
ing member # the French Institute. DR.. Lie
ber's influence over his pupils, now over thou
sand in number, in various callings in life, has
been great and salutary. From him they have
learned sound and wise lessons in politics and
history, not the arts OF the time serving dema-
gogue or the shallow devices Of the political
wire puller. The rules and laws by which
States are made great and kept great the doc
trines of moral truth applied to government
and administration, these are the nutriments
which he has furnished to their minds.

Salt for Animals.

Professor Simonds, Veterinary Inspector OF
the Royal Agricultural Society, observes, in re-
lation to the action of salt on the animal econ
omy, that ait is exceedingly beneficial in
moderate quantities, but prejudicial in large
ones" He thought horses might take with
advantage from an ounce and half to two
ounces Of salt daily but that an excess of it
would render animals weak, debilitated, and
unfit for exerton. Similar facts were applica-
bic also TO oxen, which accumulate flesh faster
by the judicious use of salt, than without it.
He cited Arthur Young aud Sir John Sinclair,
10 show that salt had tendency to prevent
the rot in sheep. Prof S. added as his own
opinion, that salt by its action on the liver,
and the supply Of soda yielded to the bile, led
to greater amount of nutriment being de-
rived from the food. The substance, he said,
was also well known as vermifuge, destroy
ing many kinds of worms in the intestines of
animals and comforting healthy tone of &C.
ton which prevented their re-occurrence.
Several members Of the r. "A. Society, as Col.
Challouer and Mr.. Fisher Hobbs, stated that
their experience led them to agree with Prof
,Simmonds in regard to the value of salt for
animals In reference to the mode of giving
it, the practice Of placing large Jumps of rock
salt in fields or yards, where it was accessible
to the stock, was mentioned with appreciation.
The practice is now adopted by many farmers
in this country, and after several years trial,
is preferred to the former mode of giving salt
periodically. When animals are only allowed
TO have salt once or twice week. it is some
times the case that they eat too much at once,
but by having it constantly in their reach, they
eat such quantities as their system requires,
and it assists the digestion, and promotes
health and thrift.
