RECOVERY OF STOLEN MARE.-About
two weeks ago, fellow hired valuable
mare from the stable of M. O. Walker, to
ride out beyond DEBORAH. A week passed,
and no tidings of mare or rider. Bills were
issued by Mr. Rathbone, stage agent, de-
scribing both, and offering reward for their
apprehension. The thief instead of goinc
to his pretended place of destination brought
up at Galena, where he offered to sell the an
imal for $40, which excited the suspicious
Of officer Burke, of Gaiena, who determined
to watch Mr.. Horse Thief Thief seeing
some one on his track, his fears readily led
him to believe himself pursued. He accor-
dinghy dismounted and took to the bushes,
leaving the mare to fall into the hands of the
officer. Yesterday she returned to Lansing,
looking none the worse for her trip down
the river by land.-Laasing Mirror.

SLAVERY IN OREGoN.-Thcre is a large
Missouri population here, and occasionally q
negro is seen among them. And in one in
stance girl has changed hands twice. In
the second instance, she was, it is reported
sold for $500. There are intelligent and
prudent people in Oregon, who honestly de-
clare their conviction that there will be a
tremendous struggle to legalize slavery in
this Territory yet. And unless change Of
administration should occur at Washington

will 60 to favor the movement. The writer
has been resident of Oregon for eight
years, and during that period heard Govern
ment officials, and appointees of the Presi-

slavery into Oregon. And if pro-slavery
sentiments prevail in Kansas, then Oregon
will be the next field for the propagandists
to pounce upon. 1t will probably be some
years before Oregon will be o State.-Or

Archbishop Hughes and Col. Fremont.
. r..- NEW York, Oct. 8.
Archbishop Hughes published the subjoined
card in the morning papers.
The Arch Bishop Hughes of New York
thinksi it due both to the private feelings of
Col. Fremont and his family, as well as to
reasonable selfrespect, to state that be has
nothing to do either directly or indirectly
with letter which is now being circulated
throughout the newspapers, purportiug to
have been written by j. McMaster, editor
and proprietor of the Freeman's Journal
Several Of these papers connect Archbishop
Hughes name jointly with that letter. and
some of them 60 far as to designate it as the
testimony of Arch Bishop Hughes.
Now, the Arch Bishop is bound to say
that whether, as regards the matter espec-
tally alluded to in this letter, or in regard to
any other topic involving, by implication his
name with any charges which could fix a
stain on the private or personal character of
Col. Fremont. He, the Arch Bishop, HIS
not made or authorized any one to make an
accusation against Mr.. Fremont.
This, Of course, is negative testimony, but
a sense of justice as far as the Arch Bishop
is concerned, will not permit him to with
hold it.

How to Dissolve the IInfan-

A Virgin paper, the Petersburgh Intel

Union is to be burst up, in case the Buchan-
an men cannot command votes enough to
elect their candidate 80 A-o1 a-<
" lie who doubts that the election of John
=. Fremont to the Presidency would bring
about an immediate dissolution of the
Union, would deny the existence of the sun
in heaven, or anything else equally palpable
to the senses. Fremont could not for the
want OF agents carry on the internal admin
istration of the country. No man in the
South can take commission from him, and
no man sent from the North to the South,
for the purpose of filling any Office under his
administration, will be allowed to stay here.
He will be notified to leave, and if he dis
regards the notice he will be carried off on a
rail and his Office shut up. Take our own
town as an example. Will any citizen of it
accept commission of Postmaster from
Fremont ? If one so base could be found
he would not be allowed to remain in the of.
flee one day or hour, but would be driven
from our aidst with the unanimous execra-
tons of the community upon his infamous
head. Here, then, would be stoppage Of
Tue mails, ana WHAT VIII IOlIOW
"Should the President attempt, by any
armed force, to open, and keep open, the
Post Office, that force will be resisted by
force, and thus we should have revolution
or disruption Of the government, or in other
words dissolution of the Union. OF tho
Office OF Collector Of the Customs, Marshal
of tho District, and in every other federal
office in Virginia, and the whole South, tho
same thing may be said and then where.
we should like to know, would be the adj
ministration of the Federal Government Z
With the mails stopped, the collection of the
revenue stopped, and the process Of the Fed
eral courts struck dead by the want of an
officer to execute them, we repeat, what
would become of the Federal administra-
ton? And yet this state Of affairs will as
surely ensue as Fremont is elected"
The New York Tribune says that when
it comes to pass that Virginians refuse to
hold Office it will believe, not only that the
Union is upset, but that the world itself j.
coming to an end. 't $500 81

On Milking Cows.

81, have heard lately conversation
about milking cows, which causes me to
ask Some information on the subject of
you. Hyou think it ofimportance enough
to occupy place in your periodical, please
reply to it through the Farmer. I wish
to know whether it would make COWS bet
ter mixers. to milk them regularly three
times a day. In the conversation referred
10. 1t was contended that it would. In
reply, it was contended that whilst it was
necessary in some cases to milk COWS
three times a day, that it could not be
best as a general thing, or it would have
been adopted in this military age Iwant
you to give US the philosophy Of the mat
ter-nyou please. - 94i EE A. c." =
There is no doubt, we think, that cows
give more milk for being MIXED three
times instead of twice day. The fact
has been frequently tested by experiment.
So,a COW MIXED once day will give less
than n,milked twice, and may be .sdried
Off by lengthening the period between
the times of milking. Frequency and
regularity are required to get the mqrins-
umof which cows capable. Why three
times a day is notath rule, is not chat
there would not be a larger flow of milk,
but because ordinarilysthe increase would
De counter, balanced by the trouble To
bring COW from a distant pasture on a
hot summers day, for the purpose, would
probably not be advisable, but when she is
readily at hand, it would be otherwise.
AS to the philosophy Of the matter, it is
the universal law of supply answering to
demand. In the spiritual world che
that seeketh nndeth," in the natural it is
not otherwise. And in both, the supply
is Proportioaed to the urgency of the de-
mand. The mother offers full breast
to her sucking, and as his necessities
compel him to ''seek' his food there, the
fountain never fails. When he begins to
munch his crust, and by degrees seeks
fessrdasge,tly his nourishment there, the
supply gradually falls off, and finally
ceases with the demand. There IS sphi-
losoPhy" in milking COWS. as .there is
reason in roasting eggs" - american Far

.tsar Improvement of Wet Land.
aYour excellent article and extract on

theAcaptipn Of 'drhe improved lands OF

upon my mind the importance Of improv-

thousands of acres that lay on the differ
ent farms in Middle and Eastern Penn
sylvania, mere mud puddles, or at least
SO wet and muddy, that neither grass of
any value except for litter. nor any other
crop of agricultural value can be grown
on, and in a majority of cases where the
water might be drained with but little ex-
pense, had the owners. the enterprise or
knowledge of draining. i know lands Of
this kind in, ,Schuylkill and Berks counties
that would, be well worth from $500, to
$500 peracre If oue-eighth that amount
were expended in judiciously draining
them, that do not at present pay the in
terest on $50, and in many eases are a.
dead loss. to their owners, besides being
otbeds of disease to the neighborhood.

study.as well as the actual labor with my
own han,is, to that branch of farm inn
proyements and have learned TO my en-
tire satisfaction that it pays as we'll as

Blind ditching is decidedly preferable
to open drains, while it does not in the
