income from licenses to Sussex county was
about $4,000 per annum; while single indiUi-

had charge of the United States arsenal at Lib.
erty, Missouri. Judge James V. Thompson. of
that state, asked the Captain for permission to
see the arsenal, and while there a party of Mis-.
sourlans, numbering more than Browns latter
demailon force, surprised the place, took Capt
L. prisoner, forced open the arsenal, took can
non, guns and powder, and then let Leonard
go. The arms were used in the attack upon
and burning of the city of Lawrence, and, what
IS most singular, comparatively speaking, nei-
ther the State nor Federal authority was exert.
ed to apprehend and punish the ruffians.
SOUND ADVICE IN SOUTHERN PAPER.-The
Nashville (Tenn.) Banner charges the out.
break at Ilarper's Ferry upon the agitation of
the slavery question, and says:
"By ceasing the agitation in the South, an
end will be put to the discussion of this subject
in the north. AS long as we agitate the north
will do the same, and though only seventeen
men of the entire north were engaged in this
conspiracy, there is no telling how many may
engage in the next plot unless the subject of
slavery ceases to be matter ofdiscusson among
demagogues. The people have the means in
their hands of putting an end to this evil by
resoluteiy refusing to elevate men 10 political
offices who seek to ride into power by incendi-
ary appeals TO sectional prejudices."

Milk Which Does not Yield Butter,
and the Means to Remedy II.

The author calls the attention Of those
who are chiefly interested in such cases, in
which there is no disease Of the mammary
gland nor loss of milk, but want of oleag-
inous matters in the fluid. In the causes of
this deficiency of butter-making quality, he
concludes that there are t,co principal ones,
viz: idiosyncrasy and alimentaion but
there is another which cannot be so easily
defined. and, which occurs in animals that
are well kept, and whose milk has been
previously rich in butter. 1t is to these that
the remedy is principally directed. The
remedy consists in giving the animal two
ounces of the sulphuret Of antimony, with
three ounces of coriander seeds, powdered
and well mixed. This is to be given as
soft bolus, and followed by draught COM
posed of half pint of vinegar, a pint of
water, and a handful of common salt, for
three successive mornings, on an empty
stomach.
This remedy according to the author,
rarely fails, and the milk produced some
days after its exhibition is found to be rich
er in cream. The first cllurning yields a
larger quantity of butter, but the second
and third are still more satisfactory in their
results.
A letter from farmer states that he had
fourteen cows in full milk, from which he
had obtained very little butter, and that of
a bad quality. Guided by the statements
of M. Deneubourg, which had appeared in
the Annales Tetertnaries. he had separate
iy rested the milk OF his cows, and found
that the bad quality of it was owing 10 one
COW only, and that the milk of the others
yielded good and abundant butter. 1t was
therefore, clearly established that the loss
he had so long sustained was attributed to
this COW only. He at once administered
the remedy recommended by NJ. Deneu-
bourg, which effected a cure Teterinari-
an.
