THE HOUSE AND THE FARM.
Miles ON Horse.Shoeing.

We recently saw in late number of the
Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society,
containing paper on this subject by the au-
thor Of THE Horses Foot--How to keep it
Sound" He contends that by good shoeing
and care the horse may be kept in good
working order to double the age now usual
summing up as follows:
IF were asked to account for my horses
legs and feet being in better order than those
of my neighbors, l should attribute it to the
four following circumstances: First that they
are all shod with few nails, so placed in the
shoe as to permit the foot to expand every
time they move; secondly, that they all live
in boxes instead of stalls. and can move
whenever they please: thirdly, that they have
two hours daily walking exercise when they
are not at work; and fourthly, that have
not headstall or rack chain in my stable;
these four circumstances comprehend the
whole mystery of keeping horses legs fne
and their feet in sound, working condition
up to a good old age"
In regard to fastening the shoe-it is best
"allowed to expand to the weight of the
horse, by placing three nails in the outer limb
of the shoe, and two in the inner limb, be-
tween the toe and the commencement of the
inner qua ter; larger number than five nails
can never be required in any shoe of any
size, or under any circumstances, except for
the sole prpose of counteracting defective
and clumsy fitting"

Ringing the Bark of Fruit Trees.

A remarkable instance of the advantage of
ringing occurred here four or five years since
An attempt was made by a man who had
been dismissed for drunkenness to destroy
some trees by cutting round the trunk and
peelng off the bark, but in each case without
success A fine pear tree was operated thus.
All the bark was taken off to the width of 9
inches round the trunk, and every one
thought the tree must die. The bark was
almost effectually removed, with the excep-
ton ola few very thin layers of inner bark ap-
pearing like lines on the wood. | ordered
the wound to be bound round with plaster of
cowdung. In a short time granuations were
thrown out and the bark formed again, and
much to the astonishment of all ripeued a
large crop ofsmal pears the following season
1t had never been known to bear fruit before
although each year it was covered with bloom
Since the first year the crop has been small
and merely Oh the highest branches: pro
badly annual ringing would induce annual
fertility.

Making Diamonds from Charcoal.

The diamond, on account of its hardness,
transparency, brillancy and rarity, has al
ways been regarded as one of the most valu-
able of the precious stones. 1t has been
long known to consist cf pure carbon in a
crystalline state. Chemically it differs lit
tie from charcoal, black lead or lamp black;
it may be readily burned in oxygen gas, and
the resulting compound is carbonic acid;
precisely what arises from the combustion of
charcoal. In view Of these facts. the pro-
duction of diamonds in the laboratory has
long been thought possible, and at length
this wonderful achievement has crowned
with success the labors of the chemist.
From charcoal prepared from crystalized
sugar, M. Despretz has produced crystals of
carbon having all the properties of the da-
mond. This result was obtained by the long
continued action Of the galvanic battery
The crystals microscopic, but clearly recog-
nized as octahedra, some black, others trans
parent. Gauden, the famous lapidary, found
these crystals to cut diamonds and rubies
like powdered diamonds themselves 1t vet
remains as an achievement of chemical, sci
ence to produce these crystals of a size sufh-
cient for ornamental purposes-then will be
found the philosophers stone" sought in vain
for ages.

THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS

l Subscribers who do not give express notice
to the contrary. are considered as wishing to con-
tinue their subscription.
q ifsubscribers order their papers discontinued,
publishers may continue to send them until all

B. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
papers from the office or place to which they are
sent, they are heu responsible until they settle
their bill and give notice to discontinue them
A. II subscribers move to other places without
informing the publisher, and the paper is sent to
the former direction, they are held Responsible
Ns- Notice should always be given Of removal
s. The courts have decided that refusing to
take paper or periodical from the office, or re-
moving and leaving it uncalled for, is prma facie
evidence of intentit nal fraud.

London Gardner's Chi
Instinct of the Snider.

The sagacty Of this insect has always
been the admiration of entomologsts, but
we are not aware that any notice has been
taken by them of the following rernarka-
BILE fact: The web of the spider, particularly
of a summer morning will be seen to gilt
ter as if covered with dew This glitterng
appearance is produced by a line with which
it is carefully spread by the insect to entrap
and secure gnats and flies. II you touch
the web with your finger it adheres and is
broken when you withdraw it. Touch, how
ever, the braces by which the web is support
cd, and your finger glides off as if from a
thread Of glass. The sagacty Of the spider
in leaving the braces unlimed, is aston
ishing. This part of his structure not being
intended as trap, would be broken if il
were lined, as it would necessarily be torn
asunder ifit were touched by any flying OBJ
ject; but in the condition in which it is pro
vided, it allows the fly to glide of ard leave
the web unharmed. What prompts the
spider to such nice discrimination, unless it
be an immediate influx of intelligence?

The influence of the Past.
By W. r. LAWRENCE.

"The cold, the dead, the beautiful,
Even now the silent pass,
Like floating shadows, one by one,
Der memory's faithful glass;
And Hope and Love start fondly up
To greet them as of yore;
But something whispers unto each
Be still! they are no more!"

Good tempered. just. and always kind;
AS warm of heart as pure in mind,

A sweet, harmonious. charming thing,

PLATFORM OF THE NATIONAL DE
MOCRACY OF CALIFORNIA:


Adopted by the Democratic State Convention,
at Sacramento, August 5th, 1858.
"Resoired, That the Democracy of California
maintain. with unfalterng faith, their attachment
to the wise. just. and liberal principles announced
in the Cincinnati Platform, and, among others,
they most cordially approve and will most faith
fully sustain the doctrine of popular sovereignty
and its nseparable guaranty non-intervention of
the Federal Government with the domestic nsti-
tutons of State or Territory.
"Resolued. That the act Of Congress- known as
the English Compromise bill, having referred the
whole subject OF the admission of Kansas to the
decision of the people thereof, we do. without re-
gard to former differences of opinion, accept and
abide by the reference, and cannot but deem any
attempt to revive the agitation of that subject
in National politics, as violation of the spirit
and intent of the Kansas Nebraska law and dan
gerous to the peace and integrity of the Union.
"Resolred, That we have undiminished conf
dence in the wisdom, patriotism and Democracy
of the Chief Magistrate of the United States,
and pledge to him and his Administration the ear
nest support of the people of California in main
tanning the honor and integrity of the UniOn
both at home and abroad
''Resolvfd. That we deem the passage of the
Pacific Railroad bill as of vital Importance, not
only to the interests of California but to those
of the Union at large, and that whilst we deeply
regret the postponement of that measure and the
unfortunate causes which led to it, we congratu-
late our people upon the establishment Of a COM
plete system of overland mail lines upon all the
main northern, central and southern routes to the
Pacific coast.
"Resoiued. That American ships at sea under
the American flag, in time of peace, are subject
to the jurisdc ton of the United States. and to
that of no other power earth. whether for
search visitation, or any other purpose whatever,
and we rejoice in the promptitude, energy, and
success with which this great principle has just
been maintained by Democratic Administration.
"Resoired, That we cordially invite the
operation of all National men, without regard to
former political associations, to unite with us in
the present and prospective struggle against sec
tionalism and its attendant evils
"Resolued. That the present Democratic Admi.
nistraton of this State is entitled to and receives
our cordial approval
RssoIued, That we recognize the right of the
people of each State and Territory, when so de-
sired by them, to vote upon the adoption or re-
lection of their fundamental law; but we hold
that it belongs not to the Congress of the United
Stat IS. but to the people themselves speaking
through their own representatives to say whether
they do or do not desire to exercise such rights.
