KINDNESS TO DOMESTIC ANIMALs.--At no
season of the year Can we with more propri-
ETY. ask the attention Of our readers to the
Importance of kindness to domestic animals
than the present The most of your stock
has cnjoyel the freedom of your ample pas
lures through the summer, and now that the
inclemency of the season renders it necessary
they should be brought into the yard and the
stall, they will require at your hands incl cas-
cd attention, They will necessarily be some
what wi d at FIRST and need the exercise OF
all your patience al kindness TO get them
accustomed to the u, oew mode Of lie and
your frequent handling OF them. f they
are refractory, do not be thrown off your
guard, and by an exhibition of i'll temper be-
come almost unnlanaseabe yourself; but by
uniform kindness lead them to feel that yoa
are With and around them to min >ter to their
wants, and they will soon, by the quiet sound
Of recognition and regard, fully NANTES that
your attentions are appreciated.
Upon the Importance of this subject some
OF our correspondents have spoken so wisely
and so.well that we prefer to let them be
heard.
cit is the duty Of every farmcr-yes, o
every person who owns domestic animals. to
treat them with kindness. They are depend
ent upon him for care and protection, and
would perish if neglected, and the means are
within the reach of very owner to make
them comfortable and confronted. How would
it speak. for the character Of any man to have
his domestic animals come to his call, and
show by their actions that they are well
treated and fed Notice when you will, the
man that beats his horses or his oxen unncces
sarijy will do the same with his child
Horses and oxen need no beating TO make
them work; on the contrary, they work bet
ter without it. The man that carries no
whip has the best team the man that is Kind
and gentle to his cows is seldom troubled with
their kicking 1t certainly is dehasing TO the
man who is unkind to his animals; it spots
his disposition, and makes him brute in this
respect. They should also be well treated
because it increases their value They grow
better, and look bette, if well cared for and
kindly treated No Kind man will leave any
mems untried for making them comfortable
The Creator has placed them for our care as
we'll as use, and they should always be treat
ed with Kindness

Inc Free PreSS, IN answer 10 our inquiries
last week, relative to that supper, says:
Under the circumstances we certainly might
with propriety refuse to notice in any way the
Fireman. inquiries; but as we are very god
natured we will respond LIST, that we have no
such knowledge and moreover it does not com.
port with either our duty or our inclination to
inquire who partake Of convivial suppers in
Burlington, if any such there are. I'd, the
Free Press, having no personal OF hoarsay
Knowledge on ony such topic, most certainly
will not 60 after any, even to crafty the Free
man.
The Free Press has not seen nor heard, but
has evidently ''smelt the rat, and had rather
not investigate Under the circumstances. his
reluctance is appreciated and We will not pr S.
the question.
The Times, however, is quite disturbed he
cause its neighDr is 50 honest in the matter,
and utters good many gratuitous and unncces-
sary fllsehoods on its own account. We put
our queries to the Free Press, because we sought
a true answer If we had wanted lie we
should have inquired of the Times.

WINTER FEED FOR MILcn Cows.-What
Kinds OF food produ,e the most milk in win.
ter seems not t. be Determined. Certainly,
great diversity prevails in modes Of fee ling
among the multitudes wo keep cows either
Tor their convenience or profit, yet compara-
lively few are prepared to speak with any de-
gree of certainty as 70 the kind Of keeping
which answers best. One thing is quite GER
tain, that ne kinds of food are vet known
which produce equal quantities and qualities
o. milk 'rs cthe spring and summer grasses.
But what GENES the nearest to It? This is
the question. Pumpkins we have long been
accustomed to regWd'as among the very best
materials for fall feed, and they are equally
as valuable for Writer Iced as long as they
can be preserve from frost and rot
Next TO these, buckwhcat shorts my be
named. These add more TO the quantity than
the quality Of the milk, but ny adding about
one pint of Indian meal to four quarts Of the
shorts you secure sour qnality as well as
quantity. Wheat bran or shorts may be sub
stituted for buckwheat where the latter is not
to be had.
Carrots, beets, tarnips, and roots of like
nature, are of great value, if oot increasing
the milk, in retaining the flesh and health of
the animal. As fodder we regard corn-'talNs
cut up at the bottom and well preserved with
the husks On, as equal to anything-none the
worse we presume for the occasional ears
which are left on the stalks when harvested.
In connection with these, fine hay or rowcn
should be fed, say once dcy. II you have
none but coarse hay, it is much better that it
should 5e cut and wet Cows fed as above,
in warm stables and kept clean. will 'urnish
as COED supply of milk as in ally way short
OF pasturing.
You may, perhaps, obtain more milk per
day by feeding freely on Indian meal, say
from four to six quarts day, with plenty OF
good hay or stalks, but in this case your
COWS will be short-lved, or their days for
giving milk soon numbered.

not put the front shoe little further toward :.
and the hind shoes little further backward ="
Plainly, because that will not inccease the
speed of the fore.feet and retard that of the
hinder, which is just what you wan to ac-
compIish. But to do this, make The oe-calks
of The iore-feet very low, and set the shoe
back as far as possible, with high-heclcd calks.
Ten, reverse this method upon the ind feet.
Thus, the fore.feet will be enabled to get out
Of the way of the hind teei, an the clicking
and los>enng of shoes will cease. This will
also help the speed of the horse.
The cook, the housemaid, and the laundress
are the pillars on which our domestic comfort
rests. Without them, nothing is possible in
family or individual life. The weIl-cookcd
dinner, the tidy room, the clean shirt, are the
landmarks of true civilization. Below them
oil is barbarism.

A Barbarous Emperor.

A Haytien correspondent, in speaking of the
flight of Soulouque, says:
Stories of unheard barbarities perpetrated
by the E~x-Emperor are in circulation; among
others is the following, about which, unhappily,
there can be but little doubt, viz: That on ex-
aiming the prison at Cape st. Nicholas Mole
Ga mall town on the northwest coast of Hayti)
there were found no less than .Gffcem hundred
skeletons of persons who had been deliberately
murdered in that place. The prison was RACED
to the ground by Gefrard's a army, and the room
where the skeletons were found, and which is
below the level of the sea, filed up with stones.
Tt is said that at the time it was discovered, the
nUUr was --sashnEd opth= or

We have private advices from Valparaiso,
which inform us of the gratifying fact that the
family of DIR. TREvITT, several members OF
which. with himself, have suffered considerably
from illness, are nearly restored to their accus-
toned health. We had hoped to learn, in
common with thousands OF the Doctors friends
in Ohio. that there was a probability that he
vould soon return. Our late advices, however,
give us no reason to hope that such is his
present intention.

in motion

JACKSON TP., March 10, 1859.
Mr.. EDITOR: On Tuesday evening, 18th
inst, the Democracy of jackson Township as
sembled at the Centre School House, and or
ganized by appointing Henry Wick and Jacob
Buzzart, Judges, and Peter Oxenrider, Clerk,
after which the following ticketwas nominated:

which were adopted:
1. Resoloed, That the Democracy of jackson
Township have full and abiding confidence in
the wisdom and patriotism of the Administra-
ton of JAMES BUCHANAN.
2. Resolred, That actions speak louder than
words-and judging the Black Republican par
ty by their actions, we are irresistibly led to con-
clude that they are hostile to the admission OF
free States, and to the extension of the area of
freedom and that, having proved false to all
their professions, in both the State and Nation
al councils, and whenever and wherever en-
trusted with power, we can have no confidence
in such a rotten and bankrupt party, either in
Township, County or State affairs.
3. ResolUed, That in the men We have NOM
mated for our different Township offices, we
have full faith;-that their honesty and De-
mocracy have been tried, and we will use all
honorable means for their election.
