SEIZURE OF STRONG BEER.-The officers
made on the 10th seizure of fifty-nine
barrels of strong beer, the property of Lundy,
Dunn & Co., of Troy, who keep depot for
the sale of the article in this place. Wesus-
pect that omraratively few of our citizens
are aware what quantities of this article are
sold and drank here. A year or two since,
an attempt was made to stop the sale, when
testimony was introduced very much after the
fashion of some of the lager bier trials report
ed in the city papers a number swore that
the strong beer was intoxicating in its effect
| upon them, and number more swore that it
was not intoxicating in its effect on them,
and the decision was that the stuff did not
come under the head of Intoxicating liquor.
and the place has been almost flooded with
it. A list of forty places at which it is now
publicly sold, has been shown us, and we are
told that there are besides many shops and
private houses where it is kept and sold
The officers, (who certainly have the best
means of knowing,) are very clear in the be-
lief that in its effects upon the habitual drink
ers Of it, and in general upon the pauperisn
and crime of the place, strong beer is about a
injurious as stronger liquors, and tina
thousands of dollars are paid for it whicl
should be spent in bread for suffering fam
lilies A second attempt is now making t
stop its sale.

On the part of the State it was shown
by numerous witnesses that the defendants
kept and sold the article, that it was strong
beer that the result of chemical analysis
showed that the beer seized contained per
cent of pure alcohol, and that strong been
did intoxicate; and that as Intoxicating
liqu + or as "mixed liquor of which
spirituous or intoxicating liquor forms part"
both (which are within the prohibition Or
the law, its sale was unlawful. and its
condemnation re luired.
The defendants introduced considerable
testimony tending to show that this beer
was not intoxicating. One witness
testified that a man could drink all he
could hold of it, without being made drunk
by it; but if he took glass of liquor on top
OF quantity of it, it would "knock him
kite high" Many others believed man
could drink ten or twelve glasses of it with
out intoxication one who said he had drank
ga few barrels" Of it, had taken ten glasses
OF it in an hour, and believed man could
~ihV twenty plaSsCs as last as he could drink
it, without being made drunk by it, 1t was
urged for the defence that the beer sold bv
Lundy, Dunn & Co., was IA mild" beer
that it was not 90 intoxicating liquor; that
"spirituous' and " Intoxicating" mean
the same thing in the act, and that liquor
in which a sprituous element becomes de-
velopcd m The process Of its manufacture, is
not " mixed liquor" in the meaning of the
law.
The decision was that strong beer is an
g intoxicating liquor" and the five barrels
of the article retained in his custody by the
constable for the purpose of this prosecution,
were accordingly condemned and spilled next
afternoon.

1NsEcr-EArING BIRps.-There are about
$50 species of iDsect-eating birds in this
country, the most common of which are the
robin, swallow and sparrow. Each chimney
swallow destroys about 1000 winged in
sects per day; and the robin during the
spring is most industrious hunter after
all kinds of ground worms and bugs. For
many years there Yves wholesale destruc-
tion of this class of birds in this State oy
vagabond gunners and reckless boys. OF
late public sentiment has somewhat checked
the habit. Yet their number is manifestly
diminished, and we see the result in the
increased injury to grain and garden crops,
and the great destruction of fruit from the
ravages of worms. The preservation of
misunderstanding birds is matter of no
trivial importance.

population was then three million nine hun
dred and twenty-nine thousand, being less
than fifty cents to each inhabitant Our
expenses have now increased to SS3 600 COO
this year, and So3 900, 900 next year, making
an average of three dollars to each inhabitant
In 1880, in Gen. Jackson's S time, the expcn-
ditures were $4,000, 900, and the popula-
tion was nearly as many millions. The
amount to each inhabitant was 81 G3. In
1910, it amounted to s. 40 to each inhabit-
ant. But now it is SO to each inhabitant,
or $50 to every free family, upon the basis of
the census of 1850, showing the number of
families to be three million three hundred and
sixty.two thousand three hundred and thirty
seven, or S23 to every voter of the four mil
lion ffty-four thousand four hundred and fifty
at the Presidential election of 1856. While
the population has increased seven fold, the
expenditure has increased, up to 1857, thirty
six fold and up to this year forty-eight fold.
The aggregate expense of Mr.. Pierco's Ad-
ministration, exclusive of payments on the
public debt, was S232 800 ,632 The aggre-
gate expense of the Government, from its
foundation up to the close of the last war,
and prior to January l 1915, exclusive of
payments on public debt, was Sl72, 2,696,779;
so that the expenses of the aimless, fruitless,
mischievous Administration of President
Pierce, were sec, ,00O, 600 more than the en-
tire expenses of the Government up to the
close OF the last war. Sir, institute COM
parison between the first twenty-six years of
our National Government, and of the late
Administration. Contrast the history, pro-
gress, and growth of our country; contrast
its purity, its prosperity, its greatness, dur
ing the Administration of jefferson, of Wash
ington, of Madison, of Adams, with that of
Pierce, and then you may be able to appre-
ciate the rapid growth Of our expenditures
from the simple fact that four years of
modern Democratic Administration cost
more than twenty-six years in the earlier and
purer days of the Republic. have here the
official table showing the fact;

THE TWO ARMIES.

As Life's unending column pours,
Two marshalled hosts are SEEM
Two armies on the trampled shores
That Death flows back between.
One marches to the drum beats roll,
The wide-mouthed clarion's bray,
And bears upon crimson SCROLL
"Our glory is t. slsy."
One moves in silence by the stream,
With sad, yet watchful eyes,
Calm as the patient planets CLEAN
That walks the cloudcd skies.
Along its front no sabers shine,
No blood-red pcnnons wave;
Its banner bears the single line,
"0ur duty is to save"
For those no death-bcd's lingering shade;
At Honors trumpet call,
With knitted brow and lifted blade
In Glory's arms they fall.
For these no clashing fanlhions bright
No stirring batte-cry;
The bloodess stabber calls by night
Each answers: &" Here am !"
For those the sculptor's laurelled bust,
The builders marble piles,
The anthems pealing DER their dust
Through long cathedral aisles.
For these the blossom-sprinkled turf
That foods the lonely graves,
When Spring rolls in her sea-green surf
In howery -foaming waves.
Two paths lead upward from below,
And angels wait above,
Who count each burning lifc-drop's flow,
Each falling tear of Love.
Though from the Hero's bleeding breast
Her pulses Freedom drew,
Though the white lilies in her crest
Spring from that scarlet dew
While Valor's naughty champions wait
Till all their scars are shown,
Love walks unchallenged through the gate,
To sit beside the Throne!

RUNNING A MILE IN A MINUrE.-A cor
respondent in Maine asks us if any horse
ever ran a mile in minute! We answer,
no. The best authorities in Europe and
this country have for long time repudia-
ted the vulgar tradition that Flying Chill
ders or any other horse ever accomplished
this. Porfer's Spirit of the Times says
the probability is that the speed of fChiders
and Eclipse whatever it was, has been bea-
ten by horses of the present day, and the
error grew out of the measurement of some
strides of Childers and Eclipse, when they
were for moment at their utmost speed.
1t was observed that could the rate of speed
indicated by these enormous bounds have
been maintained, the horse would have run
a mile in minute, but every horseman
knows that this cannot be done, as no
horse can keep at his utmost speed for
more than few seconds. The Editor of
Bells Life in London in reply to letter
from gentleman in this country about a
year since, says:
"The Editor of Bells Life in London
begs to inform Mr.. H., that the best au-
bhohCiC oiuc Ou IcCOIu VI nile IN England
is l:4s. 1t was run by War Eagle and
Cossack, carrying 8 st. lb. (ll9lbs. each,
for the New Market stakes, over the Ditch
mile Il furlongs and POI yards,) in the
spring Of ls47. The Ditch mile, with the
exception of the first 100 yards, which is
up hill, is almost fat. It is absurd to
suppose that Eclipse, Childers, or any
other horse, ran a mile in minute. The
time of the present day is undoubtedly the
best. The average or general time ofmilc
races in England is min. "a sec., but in
heat races, the following may be pronoun.
ced good time:-One mile, 1:56; two mile,
1855; three miles. 5:53; four miles, 7:51."
To this Porter's Spirit says:
against the fast time given above, in
the letter of the editor of Bells Life, we
mark the best time of the horses in this
country: One mile in 1:42 1.2; two
miles, S:34 1-2 three miles, 5:35; foul
miles, 7:l9 1-2.

How TO RAISE CALVES. Let the calf
remain with the COW until two days old,
then shut it in close box or stable some
distance from the COW, that she may not
hear or smell it, and feed it from four to
five quarts of warm milk day until four
or five weeks old. Continue feeding the
the same quantity of milk, buff you
want the milk for butter,-you can now
feed two quarts of sweet skimmed-milk
warmed with two quarts of new milk and a
little scalded indian meal. Commence
with very little meal, increasing the
quantity daily, until the calfis six or seven
weeks old, when he should have about a
pint of meal per day. While increasing
the quantity of meal you can decrease the
proportion of new milk until seven weeks
old, when he may be fed entirely on skim
med-milk and meal. IF the weather is
cold the milk should be warm, you need
not warm the skimmed-milk and as you
gradually increase the quantity of the cold
milk, you will gradually decrease the tenn
sperature of the feed.
As soon as the grass is up they should
be turned into small lot, with gooG
shed for shelter. At two months old you
can begin to feed them sour milk whey
The milk is better to be thick, and tn,
whey, unless sour, should be scalded.
Do not stop feeding your calves as sool
as you can turn them to grass. 1t is
rminous practice. Calves should be fe'
milk un il four months old, They canno
thrive upon grass alone, and although the.
may not die Immediately from the effee
Of such treatment, their staring coats an
stunted forms will for years, bear testimon,
to the improvident and unskillful manage
ment Of the breeder.-N. Stock Journal

THE WILLIAMS COLLEGE GYMNASIUM BURNED.
The large gymnasium connected with Will
liams College was entirely destroyed by fire
last Sunday night. The fire was first dis
covered in one of the bath rooms about 10
o'clock, and rapidly spread over the whole
building. The facts that no fire had been
kept in or near the building, and that bun
dies of hay and traces of turpentine were
found inside, show that 1t was the work of
an incendiary. 1t was constructed some
seven years since by a subscription of the
students, aided by the college corporation
and Amos Lawrence. the so often benefactor
of the college. The loss is estimated at
