CHARLIE. THE nrTCuMAN.

Charlie the Dutchman, arrived at Seaford
some time ago, ''struck down his stake" Ma
jor, who IS very fond Of Joke. and seeing that
Charlie had his gun and was quite fond of gun
ming, proposed to him one evening TO 90 out
and shoot crows in The pines belonging to Gov
ernor Ross. Charlie the Dutcbman accented
and was IN great glee at the prospect OF shoot
ing half dozen Yankee crows The moon was
shining sufficiently to make it good Growing
night. Now, Major was aware that there was
a large hornets nest in one direction, SO he sent
Charlie towards the hornets nest, and he took
another road with the understanding that the
one who first discovered a crows nest should
whistle. After few minutes Charlie whiStled.
and the Major went to him.
'Malor, here's one tam crows nest as pig as
pushel."
at probably has young ones in ii Charlie,
90 up and clap your hands on it and catch
lhen.'
Charlie doftd his coal, bat and boots climbed
up the pine, while Major took the precaation 10
cover up. Charlie claps his hands on the nest.
"Aline Gott, Major, de nest is full of de little
crows. Major, one little crow bite me. Major
de tam little crows bite me all over. Mine Gott!
how dey bite Major, I'm coming; tell yon
Pm a coming
And sure enough, Charlie the Dutchman
dropped TO The ground and ran about a quarter
OF mile without his coat and hat to get clear
Of ''de tam little crows'
Charlie returned 10 get his coat and-hat. while
ing bitten.
Charlie put on his bat and little crow which
had taken refuge in the bat, took that opportu-
nifty TO bite him on the head, and when he
picked up his coat he found ii covered with little
crows.
"AIine Gott Major, everything is covered nit
desc tam little crows. I'm off, Major, I say
I'm OIL" and away went Charlie, and did moi
stop 50 long as he could hear the buzz Of
hornet.
After Major had received breath sufficient to
speak, he explained to Charlie, and Charlie,
saw the force Of the Joke.
''Now Major, il you don't tell dis when you
60 home, / give you one five tollar, and if you
tell ii you is one rascal and 1 fight you"
But notwithstanding Charities brlbes and
threats, Major was engaged nearly all night in
relation OF Charlit's adventure with the ''tam

CALLS ON HoRsEs.-An ounce of preven-
ton is worth pound of cure. II is bad econo-
nv to use poor harness. The collar, especially
should always be in good condition 1t should
be frequently washed and oiled an occasional
pounding will keep il soft and in shape. When
ever II becomes thin and broken, pads should
be worn underneath it.
Calls are occasioned, often, by putting hor-
ses 10 hard work all at once after period of
rest, as in the spring, after the winter. As
means for preparing the horse for such work, it
is well to bathe his breast and back with sou-
ton of alum and whiskey for several days be-
fore the labor begins. 1t is well TO use this
preparation also at any other time when the
skin becomes tender. We have known small
sores 10 heal up entirely under the use of this
| remedy, even though the horse was lsEpt al.
work.
Tt Is another excellent preventative of gals
to bathe the shoulders of working horse once
! or twice a week, al night, with salt and wafer,
washing off the same with pure water in the
morning.
When The skin becomes badly broken a
| horse should be allowed a few days rest, or if
| the work is very pressing, the harness should be
padded as not 10 irritate the sore; otherwise, it
would be vain to expect cure. Some of our
neighbors use white lead, mixed with linseed
often succeed with it; at least they get hard
incrustation over the broken skin. But we
hardly fancy this tanning horses hide while
he is yet wearing it.-.9meriean .4gricuitur-

The matter is now in the precise condi-

"Gen. Calhoun, President of the late

important from Kansas!

ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 9.-The Leavenworth
correspondent Of the Democrat says, that
a bill providing for the formation OF a
new Constitution has passed tho Kansas
Legislature, at Lawrence.
Letters are published in the Leaven-
worth papers containing the proceedings
of the Board of Commissioners to investi-
gate the alleged election frauds. Mr..
MLean, the chief clerk. in the Surveyor
Generals office, testified to having sent
the returns Of both elections to Platte
City, at the request of Pres. Calhoun, and
that he had not seen them since. Also
that the returns from Delaware Crossing
had never been received at Lecompton.
This being doubted, Sheriff Walker was
despatched to Lccompton to search Pres.
Calhoun's Office. This search was success
ful, and number of returns were found
buried in the ground under wood-pile.
Among them was the identical return
which MLcan sworc to having sent to
Platte City.
Gov. Denver, the President Of the Sen.
ate, and the Speaker of the House Of Rep
resentatives, examined MLean, who swore
that they were the same returns that Pres
Calhoun counted on The 14th ult. The
Delaware crossing returns were also among
those found, footing up $40 votes. Pre-
yious to this Mr.. Drefendorf testified tt
having given the Delaware Crossing re-
turns to Pres. Calhoun at Weston, subse'
auent to the count at Lccompton.
