Raising Colts.

The following answers were returned by
Col. William R. Johnson, to questions pro-
pounded by John Marshall, Esq of Fauquier
county, Observation-Disclosures Farmer.
SENATE CHAMBER, Feb. 4, 80.
l. Keep the colts"n pretty good order, not
too fat, until they are two years old, then
break them {" gently"
.. Keep them in lots, it does not matter as
TO size, taking care not to allow them TO see
other horses more than possible.
3 and i, Grass lots are best, and short
grass.
5. Dry food mostIy--when young, cut oats.
6. Give corn in the winter oats in the sum
mer; not more at a time than they eat clean.
When they are once fat, very light feeding is
best.
Z. 1t is not at all necessary to rub them un.
til they are two years old.
8. Wean the colts at about six months old.
Should The above answers to Your questions
not be sufficiently explicit, they will be with
great pleasure added 10. Respectfully,
WIN. R. JOHNSON.

SENTINEL.

Interesting from 81, DOmingo,-A letter
from 81. Domingo City, dated December 80,
represents that republic as on the eve of new
and serious disturbances, in consequence Of
the threatening opposition taken by ex-Presi"
dent General Santana in the district Of Seibo.
Amongst The community Of Naba, province of
Agua, an armed Instruction had broken out
and menaced to set the whole country in cons
Aagration. The GacetG official of St. Domin~
20, under date Of December 80, published aide
cree by which martial law is proclaimed
throughout the whole territory of the repub-
lie, and all crimes and delinquencies committed
after the publication shall be punished accor-
ding TO the military penal code.

The Shoe Trnde.

The shoe trade is somewhat depressed at
this time from the con inued advance in the
prices of all kinds Of leather, that 90 up high.
er and higher with every month. There have
also been some heavy failures Of shoe mer.
chants; and the great SHOWS bloekadinr the
railways, and the ice and freshets .interrupting
the river navigation, have so prevented the
transportation of the manufacturer. that the
sales have not been so large as they otherwise
would have reached. These things have oc~
caSlonsd a holding up in manufacturers and
scarcity OF money in that trade, but it is onIy
temporary. Purchasers from the South and
West are arriving in large numbers, and great
sales will be made at prices corresponding 10
the cost of stock. Tie manufacturers cannot
sell at the rates, and when cotton and tobacco,
sugar, hemp, and grain are high in the West
and South, giving abundant means, the people
will not go bare-footed. In a very few months
all the shoes in New EngIand--aud the stock
Is smaller than usual-will be swept off, and
the supply will not meet the demand. The
future never looked better for that trade than
to-day, if the manufacturers have frmness
enought to act their part.-New5uryp0t Herald.

In the centre of the oval room was Miss
Lane, the Presidents neice, who received visi-
tors with an ease, grace, and self-possession
that indicated her to be no novice in such du.
ties. Not few impressible young men per.
formed an extensive round of great circle sail

er look at her sweet face. To Commissioner
Blake fell the agreeable task of making the
presentations to Miss Lane.

Moss Or Louisiana Hair.-Unioubtedly
many Of our readers will bave seen on the Ieyee
bales of moss, gathered in the lower part of the
State, and used in mattresses, cushions, sofas,
&c. A great objection to a more extensive
use Of this material hitherto has been the bad
state in which it was gathered, there being a
great deal ofdust and impurities mixed up with
il. We, on yesterday, saw an ingenious ma.
chine, designed to entirely obviate this disa-
gFeeable feature. II is put up and worked by
Messrs. Campbell s. Baudraux. The moss is
dust on a carrier, which carries it to two rollers
b~Tistling with spikes. These rollers, in their
turn, transfer it to n board, also provided with
spikes, and called q card, from which the moss
fails down, cleaned Of all its former impurities.
The machinery is driven by an engine Of eight
horse power, and the manufacturers are 50 con-

Moss, though its price is doubled by this pro-

A Pioneer FamHy.-Tt is not often that the
denizeas of the border visit New Orleans; these
sentinels at the Outposfs Of civi ization seem
too intent and perhaps too seif-sati>fed with
their half civilized aud half savage mode of life
TO burden their brains with thoughts of the
crowded aud busj city. 1t was therefore quite
an event'as we recognized on yesterday after
noon on the levee, the oldafashioned heavy
timbered wagon, containing the peRates and
hon~ehoid treasures of tile Arkansas hunter.
We saw the ZONE made, sngar-wood chairs.
hanging on the outside; the blankets, the quite
the posts Of Il rude hedsteai, the kettles and
Tin pots, all were within. The never-erring RI
fe hung securely tied 10 the hoops ut the top
IN front OF the wagon, and gazing intently at
she surrounding objects, sat the honest back
wondsman. On one side stood his wife, dress
ed in plain attire, and holding Il chubby red IA
tri baby in her arms, while on the other side
was Il little girl, whose eyes seemed to sparkle
simultaneously with establishment and delight
81 the picture before her. Many II day will
the little one remember it, when seated at the
door Of the rude log-cabin in the wilderness
Of the Lone Star State, when the bobalink
will send forth his notes of greeting. and The
