HUNDRED pounds Of ground meal, mixed with
the required bulk Of straw, will be OF avail
in susta mig animal life, during tine winter than any
other foud that can be obtained 1T the price.
In commenting UPON the above table, the same
writer observes, that if this table of equivalents
be relied upon, it appears that one hundred pounds
OF hay are equal to four hundred and twenty six
pounds 1T wheat straw, and that twenty two pounds
Of oil cake are equal to hundred pounds of hay.

bran, DC Bousinganlt found that his seventeen
horses, averaging Ole thousand and seventy pounds
each in weight, ate and did well ration of thirty
three pounds of hay per day, working eight hours
regularly every day. 10 obtain the same amount
of nutritious food in straw, a horse must eat one
hundred and sixly-fve pounds of the straw per day

this way would be considerably reduced.

The Waite Mowiains.-It is expected
tha, the carriags road from the Glen house
to the summit Of Mount Washington will
DO completed and ready for use tho present
season. The most difficult portion of the
line was finished last year, and four miles
were used for horse travel at the close Of the
season, The road will be 8 IA miles In
length and l6 feet in clear width. The
grade in no place exceeds rise Of one foot
in seven, the average being one foot in nine
and half. In all places where there Is
any dangerous prccipitcncy, q heavy pro-
lection wall is built on the outer sile OF th'
road, three feet thick and two and ball
feet high. It is reported that in locating
this famous Garage road. more care. time
and skill and expense have been expended
than upon the same length Of any railroad
line in the country. While the surveys FOL
the road were in progress, Mr.. Stephenson

A thrilling scens.-A submarine diver from
Buffalo has at last succeeded in raising the
safe of the American express company,
which was lost when the steamer Atlantic
was sunk of Long Point in 1852. Ii will
be recollected that tins steamer was Instant
ly sunk by collision with propeller, and
that large number OF passengers were
lost. The dive was protected by copper
armor, and was under water frty minutes,
during which time he had some strange ad-
ventures. The upper deck Of the steamer
lies one hundred and sixty feet under water,
and FAR below where there is any current or
motion. Everything therefore Is exactly as
il trst went down. When the diver alight-
ed upon the deck, he was saluted by a
beautiful lady, whose clothing was well ar
ranged, and her hair elegantly dressed. As
he approached her, the motion Of the water
caused an oscillation Of the head, as fgrace-
fully bowling to him. She was standing
erect, with one hand grasping the rigging;
Around her lay the bodies Of several Others

by the hands, and mothers with their babes
in their arms'were there In the cabin the
furniture was still untouched by decay, and

by some careful and tasteful hand.

on deck where the gappling irons wcr,

its contents in perfect state OF prcserva

and large amount of bills on other ba Ks
amounting in all to about $4,000. Th

the first election in the Territory u very
large majority Of the votes were cast by cit.
liens of the State Of Missouri in violation
Of the organic law Of the Territory. Of
the legal votes cast Gen. Whitfield received
u plurality. The settlers took but little in.
tercst in the election, not one-half of them

the fact that the settlements were scattered
over great extent-that the term Of thr

the question Of Free and Slave institutions
was not generally regarded by them Us dis
