MANAGEMENT of Colts.

n Sttdt ueat ndS Uetb Wtitteu u
regard to the care, management and
training of colts, and il is a subject
worthy of the closest study Of the
breeder, as the value of the horse |
depends-next after his blood and ,
pedigree-entirely upon the manner
in which it is reared and trained for
nse. The following letter from a
gentleman in PlainGeld embodies
much sound sense upon the subject:
off / had colt one year old that
bid fair to make horse worth one,
two or FIVE hundred dollars, / would
give him stable at night, ten feet
square, BY himself; keep it well lit
tered with saw dust, fine shavings or
straw. | would not have him stand
on anything wet, and would feed
him all the hay (good clean bay,)
he could eat, and would feed him
something besides, every day, say
carrots cut up fine, with little In
dian meal mixed with them, or
quart or two of oats, well soaked.
If ! intended to keep him for my
Own use, / would teach him to eat
almost everything: such as sour milk,
good hog swill and pumpkins. l
would not break him to do all these,
but | would teach him, caress him,
make him think, If possible, that !
was bis best friend.
"Colts want exercise, and should
have warm yard 10 run in all the
pleasant days, but not in the mud OF
with horned cattle. A blanket il
seldom necessary.
"Mr. Gray inquiries: when should
he be broker l say never, neUer.
Teach him as much as you can, bu
don't break him! that is all out o
fashion. Teach him to do as you
tell him, to come and go at youl
will; make particular friend of him
and you may use him at any ags
you please, but be careful not te
use him hard or badly. Cattle may
be used at the age Of two years, al
well rs boys at seven and eight
and when be is two, three or fou
years old, few days before yol
wish to use him, put on the names
put him in the thills, and let hin
stand several hours; stay by him
fondle him all over. lead him abou
and call him some name. DO thu
for seyerul days, and the first time
you bitch him to buggy he vii
20 as you tell him. Wien be vii
go we'll before carriage, Their pu1
on the martipgales, and a check, i
he does not carry lis hesd to please;
by degrees draw his head ms you
wish to have him carry it, and in a
short time it will become a habit
shat Gao easily be retained. The
time was, and is now in some places.
when every one thought a colt must
be bitted; that is put a great strong
bit in his mouth and draw his head
into his breast, and have him throw
himself down; Ahileu cart.whip was
lacerating bis sides, all of which is
just the thing to spoil colt. ! say
never bit or break colt, nor burn
the hampers.

Bachelors,

Be careful,young manin the prime of your life,
Not to fool your existence away;
The best thing for you is to hunt you wife,
And marry her right away.
A bachelors life is horrible strife,
OF earthly existence alone;
And when they are dead and all has been said,
There's no one can tell where they're gone.

TEMPERANCE.
BRooKLYs, Aug. %, 1853.

BRoOKLYN, Aug. 70, lcJo
DyAR SIR; In behalf Of the American Society for
the Promotion of Civil and Religious Liberty, OF which
l have the honor to be Corresponding Secretary,
write to inquire your views as an independent candi'
bath observance enforced by law. We would be
pleased to know whether if elected to the office for
which YOU have been nominated, yOu would give your
Influence in favor of the continuance and thorough en-
forcement of our present Sunday laws. Would you
be in favor of laws enforcing the seventh or any other
day of the week as Sabbath Or would you favor
the repeal of all our distinctive Sunday laws, as OPP
nosed 10 the spirit of or Federal and State Constitu-
lions? We also desire to know if we understand you
rightly as viewing the absolute prohibition ana de-
struction of liquors nusances to be applicable only
to those viainOus compounds so generally sold now
Gle Is il your view that, while the fearful injury
which men unwittngly do themselves and the comnu-
nifty by parakng of these poisonous deceptive mad
denng mixtures sold under false pretenses as genuine
brandy wine &C., should be forcibly prevented by
"the Strong arm Of the law it should be left to moral
suasion to deter from the use OF pure alcohohc
drinks as a beverage . -
With great respect for yourself, personally and for
tbc honest and candid manner in which you offer your
views for the consideration Of yeur feowctzens, and
hoping that You will do the favor TO answer these
questions at your earliest convenience, we remain
yours, very truly, .. -. IT, IN 80.
PHTERBoRo', Sept. 4, 1853.
Mr.JL HATcH-Deor Sir: much regret this
DELAY in answering your esteemed letter; AM even
now / can write You but few hurried lines. l am
from home nearly all the time, attending political
meetings; and when return home IN myself buried
up it letters
First: am emphaticaly Sabbath man, but am
opposed to all legislation in behalf of the Sabbath.
With me the province of civil government isvery mar
row. Its sole Office is to protect person and property
II is not to undertake to help the cause OF religion or
education temperance.
Second: Nothing than MISUNDERSTANDING
life and property. But the dranl-shoP, is the great
mandatory of madmen. Hence would nave GOV,
eminent shut up the dram-shop. In other words, l
would have Government suppress the sale for drink
of oil maddenng liquors. l send You copy of my
letter of acceptance. Very respectfully your friend,

Correspondence of The n Y Tribune
MAUcH CHusx, Pa, Sept. IT, 1858.
The Opposition candidate for Congress p ths District
t'The Old Tenth Legion, is Dr. David X. ShoemAkes,
of Rockport, this Carbon County. Gov. Reeder wss
the first choice Of the People Of this District, bat ho
declined. DIR. Shoemaker has now consented, and his
nomination by the Peoples conferees may bc regarded
certain.
The Doctor is Democrat, but strongly opposed 70
the despotc career of the Administration, and decd-
ed and uncompromising friend Of Protective Tariff.
He can safely be relied upon as firm man, who viii
need no stfening Of the knees II elected lie - sso
popular man. Of good address, and well calculated -
make favorable impression among tho people. no
will devote all his time TO the campaign and visit
every County of the District He will also challenge
his competitor, VIM. II. Dmmick, to the stump, bus
have no idea that the latter win be foolish enough 70
accept the challenge.
The doctor is an available candidate another ec-
count He is fresh from the ranks of the people, Ho
has never been candidate for office, and bat seldom
participated in the management vi party aisirs. He
Is however but little known beyond the limits Of Car
bon County; still this is not very important, as he in
tends to make himself known during the next four
weeks.
Indications are here that portion II not the whole
Of the Peoples ticket in this county will be elected.
Our ticket is very strong one, and we receive daily
assurances from all parts of the county OF important
changes. Our friends active, aud will leave nO
honorable means unemployed to insure success. On
the other hand the Democrats are anything but hsr-
monious, and many Of them will be agreeaby disap
pointed II they save themselves from defeat. Tho
Hon. Asa Packer is the party lie does the thinking
for the active, aud were IL not for him We would
beat them by large majority.
The State ticket is safe by an overwhelming major
ity. Why cannot the Opposition VI Now-fork btstss
follow our example, and unite ANTHRACITE.
