MOUNT LANDING, Va, Sept, 49,
WinterinSC Cows.

We find in the Rural New Yorker, an
account OF some experiences related at a
Farmers Club Meeting. respecting win
terlng cows, from which we take the fol-
lowing, as possessing some interest. One
member said:
elf were to have COWS fed just to my
liking they should be fed on cornstalks,
and If profit were consulted, these BY all
means. should first be run through a,stalk
cutter. This, in my estimation, is sa-
wing OF at least one fourth of their value.
My method of feeding is to give each an
imal bushel basket full of stalks they
will not eat them clean, but to save all, I
throw what they leave in the managers to
my colts, who soon dispose of them, and
without remainder. Those cows which
are in milk, are fed slop of buckwheat
bran night and morning, those not yet
come il, are given two or three ears of corn
at each feeding, until they begin to spring
bag, when they are fed once a day, the
same as cows which are MIXED. In this
way cows may be kept in a thriving con-
dlt'on, and.l believe. a greater yield of
milk aud butter can be obtained, than
from any other mode Of feeding. Inre-
gard to the value of different kinds of
tood for cows, heard an old dairy man
say, that buckwheat was the best for
producing milk OF any grain. Corn and
cob meal(or corn meal alone) fattens
COW TOO much for her health, if fed before
calvlug. Two quarts of oats per day, is
a better feed at this lime. Corn and cob
meal, and oat meal, half and half, is good
feed for cows, and wheat and shorts,
seaided and sailed, will induce q large
fiow of milk. "-American Farmer.

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
There is an evil habit sometimes INDUCED in
by boys, in solitude, often growing up with them
to manhood and which if not reformed in due
time, not only begcts serious obstacles to matri
monlHl happiness, but gives rise to series of
ProtrNctcd, insidous, and devastating affections.
Few of those who give way to this pernicious
practice arc aware of the consequences, until
they find the nervous system shattered, feel
strange and unHceountablo sensations, and vague
fears in the mind. (See pages, 81, Is, 90, of DR..
KS book on & Self Preservation"
The unfortunate thus affected becomes feeble,
Is unable to labor with accustomed vigor, or to
weak he is dull, irresolute, and engages oven
in his sports with less energy than usual.
If he emancipatc himself before the practice
has done it's worst, and enter matrimony, his
marriage is unfruitful, and his sense tells him
that this is caused by his carly folles. These
are considerations which should awaken the at
tention of all who are similarly situated.
Remember, he who places himself under DR..

his honor as gentleman, and rely upon the as

Horrible Affair.

We learn from gentleman of this village, the
following particulars of the most heart. sickening
incidents we have heard in long time:
It appears that on Wednesday afternoon last,
the family Of David Bailey, of Ossian, had gone
away from home, and had spoken to daughter
of Mr.. Samuel Mitchell, young lady of sixteen
or eighteen years, to have her milk their COWS
and do some other little chores. Mr.. Bailey kept
q large dog, that was supposed to be familiar
with Miss Mitchell. She had fed him, and wish
ing to use the pan from which he had eaten, ap-
preached him and took hold Of it. The dog COM
menced growing, and she told him to stop his
noise, when he instantly sprang at her throat
She put out her hand to ward him of, when be
seised her arm, taking out a piece of flesh and
tearing off her sleeve. He then seized her other
arm, all the while trying to get at her throat, and
managed to get her down. But she succeeded in
regaining her feet, and had the presence Of mind
to work her way toward the house, the dog all
the time shaking and mangling her in horrible
manner. As she neared the door the savage brute
succeeded in getting hold Of her jaw, driving his
teeth to the bone. She at length got in, and with
her feet succeeded in partly closing the door, the
brute still hanging to her face with devilsh fero-
city, only loosing his hold when the door was
shut upon him and the flesh gave way. The poor
girl sunk to the door with exhaustion, covered
with blood and with nearly all her clothing torn
of. Her face and limbs we're completely mangled,
she having received, is said, near one hundred
and thirty BOUNDS on her person Mrs. Baily,
being half mile or more distant, had her at
tention called by her children to the loud snaring
of the dog, and FASTENED home to find him covered
with blood lying at the door upon the remnants
of Miss Ms clothes. On attemE ting to tie him
up, Mrs Bailey received one or two severe wounds,
but finally succeeded, and the brutal animal was
shot, The young lady is still living, but in a
dangerous condition. -Danville On. W Herald.

Railr.ad Massers-Gratifying Intelligence.

William H. Newton, ESQ.,, arrived by the
steamer Lady Elgin, and from him we have re-
ceived the gratifying intelligence of the consul
nation of the contract between the st. Croix and
Lake Superior Railroad Company and Messrs.
Dillon, Jackman. Jarrett & Co., of Pennsy lvania,
for the completion, in running order, by the 4th
of July, 1859, of the Railroad from Superior to
Hudson.
The contract includes clearing, grading, bridg-
ing superstructure, laying main track side tracks,
filling up and completing station and depot
grounds, building depots, machine shops, water
stations, passenger and other station buildings,
docks at Superior, ETC.. And in addition the con-
tractors have obligated themselves to cut out and
construct, by the spring of 1859, good, common
wagon road, along the railroad route, from Su-
psror to the crossing of the st. Croix river, fifty
miles south and also to construct bridges at
such places south of the St. Croix as may be
necessary for wagon road. Three hundred
feet of dock, of the most permanent character, is
to be built at the station grounds on the Nenad il
river, and be ready for use by the opening Of
navigation. o4-ut
The work Of grading will be commenced at
Hudson Immediately; and large force will be
put upon the line from Superior south as soon as
practicable, after the opening of navigation.
We have information that assures US of the
settlement of the question in relation to the Miu-
nesota and Northwestern Railroad, which gives
us strong hopes of speedy prosecution of this
important line of road, which is to connect US
with the western valley of the Mississippi below
st. Paul, and bring us into immediate business
communication with that vast and fertile region
lying to the southwest of Lake Superior.-Su-
peri0r Chronicle.

The New York Times states that Kossuth is
lecturing for the support of his family. The
Times says Of his pesuniary affairs: suisy sd' "a
! The money he raised in this country was sa-
which which proved frusiess for new revolution in
Hungary, and not dollar Of it was ever applied
to his personal or domestic wants. The small
remnant which Was saved from the wreck of his
private fortune was soon exhausted, and he MAS
thrown entirely upon his own resources for a
livelihood. Fortunately he had been all his life
working man, and found no difficulty in re-
newing his labor. After brief connection with
the press, he decided upon accepting some Of the
many invitations to lecture which constantly
reached him. He made lecturing tour last
season through Scotland, which yielded him over
f3, 900; and during the present summer he re-
ceived over eighty invitations to lecture in various
parts of Great Britain during the winter.

The Mails.

The Minnssotisn Of yesterday morning, in N
able and msrited rebuke of Mr.. Mail Contractor
Walker and his administration, il s'surprissd
that the TMss finds fault with it, notice in re-
gard to these abuses" Now, our structure was
only that We thought the Minnesotian's previous
article too indissriminate, not that We atteh pied
any palliation or apology for the glazing nsgli-
gence of duty on the part Of Walker. In res
pect to this matter We are with our ootempora-
ries. We receive our letters and exchanges with
no uniformity, the whole postal arrangement
below st. Paul is thing of accident rather
than Of rules, and there is now no certainty about
the matter, except the disagrseable certainty that
we do not get half the mail, till long after it is
due, and the other half probably not at ell.
This mail arrangement, or rather de-rangement
must be remedied. St. Paul is now the distrib-
uting Office for the Territory-hsnce every part
of the Territory must suffer equally with u.s.
Let meeting be held to investigate the breach
Of trust and find exactly how many and vho are
involved. Something ought to be done without
delay. Who moves?

We find that the article which We copied on
Tuesday, from the Shakopee ADVOCATE, in rela-
ton to the Territorial Road between St. Anthony
and Fort Ridgeley, conveyed An erroneous i'm
preston. The contract il signed, but the work
not yet commenced the contractors, Messrs Smith
and McCombs, being yet in this city, awaiting
the movements of Capt. Thorn of the corps of
Typographical engineers. The contractors have
everything in readiness to move, being we'll fur
nished with complete sets of domestic articles and
thoroughly provided with tents and camp equip
ments. A force of thirty men will be employed,
and the road intended to be completed, through
out the whole distance, (lS0 miles,) in go days.
This road will be valuable accession to our
growing Territory.

In Spite Of the weather.

We had supposed that Winter generally put
damper on building enterprises, but they have
acquired such an impetuous momentum in this
city during the Summer months, that new edit
ces are springiny up every day, in spite Of Jack
Frost and his red-nosed followers. The struc-
lures which, in warm weather grew from force
of necessity, now rise from force Of habit; and
the buzz of saws, and the ring of trowels and
hammers make the air vocal at all points of the
compass. It is cold work; the mortar sciH freeze,
but a match is applied to the shavings, and
the rooms plastered by the neat of roaring
stove. Several new buildings are being compile
ted now, after which it is presumed the carpen-
tors chests and masons' tools will crawl into the
back room, to sleep till tho ides of March.

There is trouble among the Government Of
cisls in Kansas. 1t seems that Hays, Pro.Slav-
cry man, was arrested and indicted by the Grand
Jury, for murder, which, by the Statute, is an
baiiabIs, but he was admitted to bail, BY Judge
Lecompse, pro badly for the reason that he had
only killed free state man. When Gov. Geary
asoersained that Judge Lecompte had been guilty
Of this wanton pollution of law, he ordered the
arrest Of the murderer. The officer to whom
the order was directed, being also a pro-slavery
man, refused TO execute it, end resigned his
Office. - s ss" seAseaA 80" a Z,
Judge Leoompte then ordered Gov. Gsary to
be arrested for contempt of Court. How this
matter will end, We know not. Gov. Geary has
sent special messenger to Washington, with
dispatches upon the subject. @"-
We are inclined to think that Gov. Geary, ID
determined to meet out even-handed justice, AZ
between the free state and pro.slavery men If
se-he will not have q very pleasant time Of il.

desert him now, when he seemed to be efecting
