The Richmond American contains sketch
of Mr.. Bolts speech, from which we copy
the following paragraph on Gov. Wise:
"But the Governor, as | am informed, in;
timated that am ready TO accept Office un-
der Fremont, he should be elected;
Now, have taken no personal offence at
that, for it is precisely what said of Wise
himself, in conversation at Staunton, tSheii
there on recent occasion; but his Excel
lency, / am told, went further, and charged
me with treason. Well, may safely defy
any mortal man to point 10 an instance in
which l have ever proved traitor to my
party or my country. presume there are
none in this audience who have forgotten
the time when his Excelency and mvself
were both subjected to temptation. Tyler
shook the 'thirty pieces of silver" at me;
and | shook my fist in his face--he shook
them at Mr.. Wise, and he pocketed the re-
ward, bartered his principles, and tetrayed
The party that had trusted him! So mucli
for that"

The Republican Chased by a Bull-Re!
Versing his Telescope.

We have read a story of greenhorH whe
was chased by mad bull; and happening 10
have telescope in his hands, and remember
ing the effect of looking into it at opposite
ends, he raised the large end to his eye, and
turned the small end to the bull, and had the
satisfaction Of seeming to see the mad bull
plunging towards him at distance that rem
dered him small and most harmless in ap-
pearance. Greeny discovered his mistake
when the furious animal bore down upon
him and sent him and his telescope whirling
over his horns into the air.
The Missouri Republican, of yesterday,
had grave leader on the Presidential elec-
tion, in which the name of Mr.. Fillmore
does not appear and the existence of the
great American party that supports him, is
entirely ignored. The public can see, in
the leader, the greenhorn keeping off the
bull by reversing his telescope Intelli1

Wagon COg0rS-Every Farmer His own
Manufacturer.

Take abQat eight yards of Hadley Falls
unbleachcd Sd sheeting, which can be
bought at about 3 ceats PEI yard, cut in
two pieces and sew it firmly together as for
a sheet-this kind is mentioned because il
is very strong and thick then tack it up
on the sunny side OF the barn and paint it
over with the same mixture as for the hay
covers stated in your paper last week
When dry take It down and sew stones into
each corner Of proper weight, say about one
pound or more each, and tits co,npleted.-
BY throwing this simple affair into his wag-
on, ON leaving home in the morning, the
farmer would be able to load up his hay IL
he saw shower coming, and might stay To
help his men to rake up the balance instead
of driving off their horses at the top of THEN
specd and perhaps not reach home before he
rs caught m pouring shower, and is oblig-
ed, The next day, to back his load out to dry
his hay over again. One such instance
would pay the cost Of cover, which need
not cost over S % to 81 SO The same
cover would cradle him to take his grist to
mill ON rainy days, which is great saving
Of time, as safely u # he owned covered

A Race for Life.

The Republic, published at Shasta, in the
northern part Of California, tells the follow
ing in its issue of Sept s.:
'On Monday last, one Of the stages which
runs up the Yreka road, left the Pitt River
station ON its way from Yreka to the valley
The coach had no passengers, and was driy-
en- by Jareb Robbins, familiarity known "a
mong the drivers as "Curly jerry After
leaving the Pitt River station, the road
passes over a stretch Of 30 miles, through
wilderness in which no water can be obtain
ed, and without a white inhabitant. A great
portion of this distance is through timber OF
chapparel. After proceeding a few miles
over this lonely and desolate road, a shower
of arrows were suddenly poured in upon
Jerry frem the thick bushes which lined
each side of the road Wounded in many
places, and with many arrows sticking in
his clothes and flesh, Curly put the whip
to his horses, and commenced q rase for life
through an ambuseade, the o6tcnt,of which
lie ives unable to determine. TIC afirighted
HOSES, hit Mi5l several arrows, bounded o
yer the ground--Gying with such rapidity
that the vehicle threatened every moment to
capsize or smash in pieces against the lQeks
and stumps. From o9ety bush and Hiding
place capable of copocaling a foe, Jerry re-
ceFed a fight Of arrows. At length q small
prairie was reached, clear and open, afford
ing no lurking place for the savages For
tune fazors the brave, and fortune favored
Jerry In the middle Of this prairie the
coach, which had receives many severe
shocks, suddenly broke down. Jerry bleed
ing from many wounds, hastily jumped from
the box and commenced 'unhitching his hor-
SEES from Tie vehicle. This action was OBJ
served by the Indians behind, who, with a
thousand yells, sprang from their ambus-
eades and charged upon him. But Jerry
was IN time. lie sprang upon ono of the
horses, and, leading the others, again COM
meneed running the gauntlet for life. The
prairie was passed, and tie team again
plunged into the chapparel. The ambus-
cade still continued, and Jerry's clothes be-
came fairly riddled with arrows, even to his
gloves But although covered with blood,
he continued to urge on his horses, enceur-
aged by the thought that every bound bro't
him nearer to the Hat Creek station. As he
drew near this post, the shooting gradually
slackened, and Jerry finally arrived at tie
door more dead than alive, having ridden
through an ambuscade ten miles n length,

to Shasta. fer a surgeon Although Il dr
yer has sixteen wounds, none of them ere

horse down with fat--they do better in me-
dunn coalition. A horse if not rery tim,
! can be put in condition in three weeks. But
a narrow headed yard-neek, narrow breast
ed, light quartered animal, if he has never
been fat, will give you two or three months
task and he will look the better for all the
flesh you may put on him
To fatten a poor horse quickly is no very
easy ask. Its to be done by variety Of
die best Of feed, and with close attention in
giving it. Many persons feed sufficiently
liberal and yet their horses are low in flesh,
simply because Of the careless and irregular
manner in which it is given out When
wish to fattcn poor horse, | put his stable
in a clean ae1t condition, and commence by
giving Ian small feeds of corn or cats,
whichever he takes best) every two hours
from the time of rising in the morning till

taking care so to feed that he will always
eat it with relish, and be hungry for the
next meal AT 30 time do I suffer his food
to lay with him if he leaves any | take it
from him and let him stand till he asks for
it. Fer the first ten days am careful mot
to let him get quite all he viii eat There
is no better way Of getting horses appe-
tito up to the fattening point than to feed
very often of good, clean feed BY paying
strict attention for ten days, you will have
him fairly under the way and this is the
most difficult part OF the task. If at any
time he gets cloyed so that he refuses to eat
let him stand till he gets hungry.
During this time his stable must be kept
clean and comfortable He should have
but little hay, bat as much pure soft water
as lie vii drink three times d day Salt all
the time at his will lie must be ,ctlrriea
Thoroughly onee every day. Few men curry
a, horse as it should be DONE Take your
eurry-comb firmly IN your hand and with it
make quick motion back and forth, pass
all over your horse, getting to the skin
and removing the dirt thersfrom then
pass all over more gently with the comb and
brush, replacing the hair, and finish with
the naked hand-putting every hair in it
place.
Never give medicine of any kind-you
can succeed better without. If wished to
