sloer lwao is not always at fault) we remark that often he is not allow eo to use his own judgment, for, as some people believe, anybody can doctor horse" so an equal nnmber have an idea that they know all about shoeing him; and men will often stand over the smith, and direct him as to the form of shoe and manner of se- curing it to the foot.
 Notwithstanding mems various opinions on the general art of shoe ing horses, we think that all will, sooner or later, agree with us, that a beveled, or cup-shaped, ground sur face Is the best. We care not what may be the form of the foot--wheth- CT It be high or low heeled, contract ed at the heels, heightened or short ened at the toe, or having a concave or convex sole-it Is all the same. The ground surface must always be concave. In every other part of the shoe, improvements and alterations are suggested, and, indeed, required, Tn consequence of the ever-varying form and action of the horses foot, under the state of health and disease; but, on the interior surface of the foot, we are presented with a pattern for the ground surface of shoe, which no man can ever improve on; and if we were to follow that pattern more closely, there would be fewer acci- dents Ill 1aNing, and less lame horses.

CoRN, WEATHER AND HEALTH-Our far mers have latterl y been wearing very long faces, and prospecting" for meagre crops of corn; not looking at the bright side as they ought to have done, they growled a very little because the heat was only up to a hundred in the shade, and water rather scarcer than was agreeable to them, how ever much its absence is relished by topers.
 Not long ago we talked of a plethora in corn-cribs; anon we were "skeart'' our selves about the hot weather and dry soil; but now, the past week, there has been, in Washington county alone. an importation of corn equal to at least ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND BUSHELS.
 The rains have been-O how refreshing. From beautiful sixteen to "ugly old maid, from sparkling beau to snappish batchelor, all, all are gladdened, and tckled to death because corn cakes, sweet taters and sour krout and turnips are going to be-very much more plentiful than they anticipated.
 The weather has been changed by the rains and become more cool, pleasant and salubrious
 The health of Washington county, how ever, has been on an average good; though in our neighboring county of Benton there has been great sickness and much mortality.
 Since writing as above, we have been the recipients of another bountiful rain--iust the thing for contracting the elongated faces of disappointed politicians and defeated can didates.

Mr. Douglas on Clans.

The Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, in his capacity of travelling candidate fer the Presidency, attended d great Clam bake and handshake at Rocky Point, R. l., last Thursday. Two of his speeches on that occasion are thus reported:
 Before taking his clans, he said:
 "I came here to-day to a clam-bake, but 1 havn't seen much of it. I've no doubt your clans are good, but havn't had chance to try 'em yet Among my youthful indiscretions, l suffered myself to be elected Judge, and one of the principles on which 1 used to act was, in every case to demand the best evidence the nature of the case admits. Now if there is any pe- culiar virtue in your clans over those of any other State all have to say is, bring them on. l thank you for your courtesy and kindness'' D
 He was then fed; and, after partaking of the succulent viands, he thus expatiated:
 " Ladies and gentlemen, 1 would gladly speak again, but you see from the tones of my voice that 1 am unable to- This has been happy, a glorious day. 1 shall never forget it. There is charm about this beautiful day, about this sea air, and especially about the peculiar institution of yours-a clam-bake. l think you have the advantage in that respect of southern CTS. Fer my own part, have much more fondness for your clans than 1 have for their niggers. But every man to his state"
 This Is better than his threadbare re- petitions of the same worn-out sophistry dubbed "popular sovereignty" without taking any notice of the searching expo- sures to which 1t has been subjected: but then
 Mr. Douglas has hitherto confessed to graduated liking for three distinct orders of beings: l. White men; 2 Niggers; 3. Crocodiles. Expounding his views of squatter sovereignty, manifest destiny, the eternal fitness of niggers for cotton and cane-felds and of these for niggers, the Judge has been accustomed to say, GAS between white men and niggers, l go for white men; but as between the nigger and the crocodile, l am for the nigger." X riper and more varied experience would seem to have at length developed fourth object of his tenderness-to wit, clams- louItH III tiie oFuer or discovery, but second in its hold on his affections; so that the catalogue now stands: l. White men; 2. Clans; 3. Niggers; I. Crocodiles.
 And this is not the result of mere way wardness or sudden fancy The political aspirant is still manifest-the "ruling passon' still dominant. Mr. Douglas hold on the confidence and support of the great nigger interest has slipped-he is sup planted in its love by pretender named Breckinridge; so he turns an eye of fond ness upon Clans, and hopes to find in his new love some consolation for the loss of the old, It is a desperate effort; but drowning men will catch at straws We predict that Clans will prove as deaf to his blandishments as niggers.-Nw Fork Tribune.

AGRICULTURAL.
Vicious Cattle.

My neighbor Jones has a yoke of handsome grade Devons, that would be worth two hundred and fifty dol lars, if they were not breachy. A better pair of cattle for work cannot be found in town. But he can not keep them in any pasture upon his farm, though his fences are much bet ter than the average of our farmers. Last summer, they tore down seven rail fence and got into his rye, just be- fore 1t was ready for cutting, and des- troyed ten dollars worth of grain in single night. He found them so un- controllable in the pasture, that he had to put them in the stable for the rest of the season. He could not sell these oxen for a hundred and fifty dollars to any man that knew their character for jumping. This vicious propensity costs him at least a hun dred dollars, to say nothing of the crops they destroy when they get a chance.
 And this trick is altogether result of education, as much as lying or stealing is in boy. He bought them of a man who was too lazy to put up his fences in the spring, and uniform ly has that job to attend to all through the season. Sometimes the cattle were in the oats, sometimes in the clover, and again in the corn. Of course, they had to be driven out, and the gap was temporarily stopped.
 This vice of jumping and throwing down fences Is, almost without ex- ception, taught to cattle when they are young, by lazy and careless own CTS. Neglected fences are soon thrown down as the cattle rub against them, without any design on their part: They can not be blamed for their rub ping against every fence corner, for 1t is their nature If the fence falls, it is their first lesson, and they walk over triumphantly ly into the better feed in the next lot. Any animal of good sense puts the rubbing and the good bite together, and the next tempting feed over a fence creates a great itch ing of the skin, and this the second lesson. If the boys are too lazy to let down all the bars, so that the ami mals are compelled to jump over, they have a third ,esson. This is gener- ally enough to complete the education; but If the farmer gets desperate and puts on an additional rail every time they make a breach in the fence, the ambition of the animal generally rises with the height ofthe fence, and he be- comes an accomplished vaulter, that no fence can restrain. When once the lesson is taught, it becomes per- manent characteristic, and lowers the value of the animal for all purposes except beef. ltis worth while to bear this in mind at this season, when fem ces are repaired. The pastures es- pecially, that are designed for young cattle should be thoroughly secured. The want of half days work in the right spot, may be hundreds of dol lars damage to the young herd.- AmericGn Agriculturist.

Cheap Paint.

A correspondent of the Country Gentleman, writing from Clifton, c. w., gives the following receipt for cheap paint:
 l see in the Country Gentleman, an inquiry for q cheap paint. Enclosed is one l sent to the Niagara Nail, in January, which l know to be first rate.
 Take one Bushel of unslacked lime and slack it with cold water, when slacked add to it 20 lbs. of Spanish whiting, IT lbs. of salt and l2 lbs of sugar, strain this mixture through a wire sieve, and it will be fit for use after reducing with cold water. This is intended for the outside of build ings; or where 1t is exposed to the weather. In order to give a good color three coats are necessary on brick and two on wood It may be laid on with a brush simi- lar to whitwash. Each coat must have sufficient time to dry before the next is applied.
 For painting inside walls, take as before, one bushel of unslacked lime, 3 lbs. of sugar, , lbs, of salt, and pre- pare as above, and apply with a brush.
 l have used it on brick and find it well calculated to preserve them-it is far preferable to oil. Ihave used it on wood, and assure you that it will last longer on rough siding than oil paint will on planed siding or boards.
 You can make any color you please; if you wish straw color, use yellow ochre instead of whitening; for lemon color, ochre and chrome yellow; for lead and slate color, lampblack; for blue; indigo; green, chrome green These different kinds of paint will not cost more than one fourth as much as oil paints, including labor of putting on.

HoRsE-sHoEs MUsr BE BEvELED ON THE GROUND SURFAcE.-An iron shoe, tackled on a horses foot, says the American Veterinary Journal, is one of the unavoidable evils of domesti- cation, yet, when properly applied, is not so great an evil as some persons might suppose. One of the objects in applying the shoe, is to preserve the natural concavity of the sole of the foot. A horse, in his natural state, and, indeed, up to the period of his first introduction within the pre- cincts of the " smithey," has, general ly, concave sole; and wisely is it so ordained, were it otherwise, the animal would be unable to secure foot hold; as 1t Is, the inferior edge of the hoof-that Is, tho ground surface projecting beyond the sole, may be compared to the point of cats claw, or the nails of man; they grasp, as it were, bodies with which they come in contact, and thus secure a point of resistance, which aids in advancing limb or body over a smooth surface. Now, in order to preserve the natural mechanical functions of the horn and sole, the ground surface of the shoe must correspond to the ground sur face of the foot; that is to say, the ground surface of the shoe must be beveled, cup fashion; its outer edge, being prominent, takes the place of the hoof; its inner surface, being con cave, corresponds to the natural cav ity of the foot. It is custom, among some blacksmiths, to reverse the above procedure, and place the concave sur face next the foot; and often the ground surface appears to be more conuer than concave. In justice, however, to that much abused individual, the
