Change Of Food for Cattle.

Nature seeks variety, and with almost
as great pertinacity as she insists on pro-
gression The continual use of salt food
by man produces scurvy, while the en-
tire absence of either salt or animal food
produces other classes of disease, and re-
fuses to build up an organism capable
Of enduring disease. All those things
which, by analysis. an animal is found
to contain, must, of necessity, form part
of its food, or it cannot be perfect as an
organism therefore, no one kind Of food
can produce as perfect an animal, dcvel-
oping all its functions equally, and va
rlety is distinctly called for. Tho very
instinct Of an animal shows this fact.---
The cattle breeders Of England can
scarcely be said to have succeeded until
after the introduction of tie various root
crops, and still We find many cattle breed
ers in America who have never raised
roots at all, and who continue 20 feed
their animals on hay and corn alone. -
The same area of land used by herd Of
mich cows for pasture, when appropria-
ted to proper variety of crops, will
cause them to furnish thirty per cent.
more milk, and of better quality, than
when they are confined to the use Of one
or two kinds of food only. For the same
reason that horses flourish best when
travelling over an undulating country,
rather than when perambulating the
plains, viz: That other sets Of muscles
are brought into action when they leave
the dead level, and thus single set Of
muscles is not called upon to bear the
whole fatigue SO with the variety Of
food their digestive functions are in
turn appealed to, and all the constituents
required by the body are in turn fur
nished, so that healthy result is tho
consequence. 1t is true that cows fed
on carrots give better milk in winter than
when fed on other kinds of food but If
fed on carrots alone, they lose their
highest state of health. Carrots have
a value far beyond that which can be at
tributed to the mere nutriment they con-
tain; for, in addition to what they fur
nlsh in this way, they contain quantity
of poetic acid, and this carries the pro-
perty of gelatinizing the vegetable and
animal matters held in solution, and thus
ending the peristalic motion of the in
tcstines to seize hold of their contents,
so that digestion Of all matters of food
is perfected by the presence of carrots.
If the horse be fed in part on carrots, he
ceases to evacuate the undigested shells
Of oats, bits of hay, etc. His dung is
as homogeneous almost as that Of man,

carrots and bushcl Of oats arc better

from the nutricious matter contained in
the carrot, but in part from the power Of
the carrot to cause all the nutriment of
the oat to be appropriated in the making
! of muscle, instead of part of it being
evacuated in feces. This action is true
in regard to all the vegetable substances
which 60 to make up the variety Of food
for animals, and the very instinct Of every
animal gives evidence Of this truth -

EXTENSIVE Gambling OPERATIONS. -
The New York correspondent Of the Phil
adelphia Press, under date of August
I'd, says:
Stories have been frequently told of
men who have gone into faro banks, won
five and ten thousand dollars in night,
and walked off with the property. An
instance Of this sort has just been told
to me by an inspector Of police. A few
evenings since young man from Vir-
GINA, apparently not more than eighteen
years Of age, went with friend to the
most extensive of the gambling bells ia
this city. After partakiug of the sump-
tuous supper, always served at those pla-
ces, he commenced playing faro, and in
a short time, by boldness and luck, won
ten thousand dollars. He asked the
banker to change his " chips " for money,
which was done, and he went away with
out stopping moment or uttering word.
He has not entered the place since, nor
has he been seen in the city. 1t is I'M
derstood he left for home next morning.
He is said TO have exhibited no trace Of
agitation, no citation at the tide that set
so steadily in his favor, nor was there
in his features the peculiar ex-
preston so easily detected in the face of
the professional player That this young
man will become habtual gambler can
scarcely be doubted. So large a sum SO
easily won will be sure to lure him ON
again"

From PKE's PEAK-The last Pixies
Peak mail brings nothing but catalogue
of crimes. 1t follows:
A man named Smith, of Arkansas,
while pursuing man named Curtis (who
had eloped with his wife) through the
streets, shot him. Curtis escaped inju.
ry, but Smiths wife was wounded. Cur
It's then returned the fire, killing Smith
instantly.
The shooting ARRAY between Pat Dew
lin and Joseph Laferty resulted in the
death of the former. The peoples court
returned a verdict Of justifable homicide.
Mr. Hadley, an auctioneer, was acct
dentally shot dean by barkeeper few
days ago. The latter was arrested.
James Gordon, formerly of Boston,
while on a spree last week, shot a bar
keeper, badly wounding him. After two
or three attempts TO shoot other persons,
later in the night, he attacked young
German in public saloon, and blew his
brains out. Gordon was pursued by the
citizens of Denver the next day, and was
discovered with party Of his friends in
Fort Upton, but he made his escape after
having been wounded and his horse shot
Two prominent citizens were arrested
on the charge of assisting him to escape.
One of the party in puriuit Of Gordon
came upon another party Of his friends,
and while the latter were endeavoring to
escape one of them. named Frank Mill
gan, was drowned. Another Of the
party was taken prisoner, with arms aud
three mules in his possession.
A vigilance committee has been orga-
nized to ferret out and punish tie mnr-
derers and thieves now oyerrunning the
country.

Tue Census AND THE CRoPs. Accord
ing to the returns already received at
The Census Bureau at Washington, the
crops in al the Northern and Northwest
ern States are immensely heavy this year.
In Pennsylvania they are represented to
be nearly if not quite double those Of
last year. and in other States they will
probably be correspondingly heavy
This fully comedies with what We have
been led to expect from the accounts
which have reached us from other sourc-
es The census returns, however, como
in very slowly, and il will probably be
some time before we shall be able to learn
the full extent Of our agricultural prog
perity, although Superintendent Kennc-
dy manifests commendable desire 10
satisfy the public curiosity on the subject
at tho earliest possible moment. --Ez-

Coon ADvTcE.--In the course of some
remsrks, e the young ladies' who gradget.
ed on Tuesday rom the Mount st. Vim
cent Academy, Archbishop Hughes made
the following excellent suggestion
Although it is of the utmost impor-
lance, young ladies, that you should have
good education, should be accomplished
cultivated graceful, and edited, yet there
are other things that cannot be lost sight
of. Before another year rolls around, |
propose to arrange with the Sisters for a
new branch of study in the Academy -
That branch of study is what the French
call the science of cuisine. 1t is the sci
ence of keeping house, and that we all
know commences with the kitchen. Ev-
cry young lady, I don't care if she be a
Queens daughter, ought to understand
that department Of life. Even though
she may not have to practice it, though
she may be able to hire her cook, yet she
should understand it herself, for it may
happen some day that the cook will dis
miss her. Great laughter. What a
predicament she would be in, then
Well, what | was going to say was that
the Sisters should arrange it so that all
the girls over IL years of age, should be
enabled TO spend portion Of their time
in the kitchen, and become acquainted
with cooking and housekeeping. Here
will be new bureau Of education. -
Laughter. We shall then have the
theory and some practice, too

THE ELECTION.
From om Own Correspondent.

From ow owB Correspondent.
SAs Francisco, Nov. z, 1860.
The Presidential election yesterday passed Of peace
ably. Thus far about onehalf the State has been
heard from, and Lincoln is ahead then Douglas then
breckenridge; but the three men are nearly even,
while Bell has about one-fth many votes as Breck-
inridge. The Republicans hope to carry the State,
but fear that the precincts on the outskirts Of civil
zation which are always the last to come in, will yet
oiye ne over to Douglas and Breckenridge As to the
Legislature we do not know how the parties are 70
stand; the probabilities are that the Republicans,
Dougastes, and Breckindgers will be nearly equally
represented 1t is certain that Gwin will not De re-
elected to the Senate think he will never receive
Office again by the votes Of Caifornlans. IL ls 100
early at present make any guess who will be elected
in OWNS place; nor can assert whether IT is more
likely that the Douglas men will act in concert with the
Republicans or the Administration men. Their con-
duct in this respect will probably be influenced much
by events to at Washington and in the Northern
States during the next two months
