A CARD.

Mr.. EDroR: Allow me through your
columns 10 say fow words TO the electors
Of the 30th Senatorial District of this
State. On the 10Th day Of October, inst,
Union Senatorial Convention was held
at Grand Haven. The convention nomi-
mated Dwight Cutler, Esq, of this place.
1t was the best that could have been made
But Mr.. Cutler, for certain reasons, which
he has explained to the public, in his let
of declination, did not accept the nomi.
nation. Consequently the convention
was called to meet the second time at
White River, on the 21th inst.
l have just learned that the convention
unanimously nominated me as the candi-
date for Senator of this district. exceed
ingly regret that Mr.. Cutler declined. The
time is so short between this and the
day of election that another regular nom-
nation could not be made, and MAORI
ty of the Senatorial Committee being in
Muskegon and Oceana counties there is
not time to get them together to choose
another candidate. /, therefore, accept
the nomination, and in doing SO would
state that the position was given to me
without the least solicitation on my part.
Nevertheless / hereby tender my sincerest
thanks TO the members of the Convention
for this tribute of honor and respect.
I deem it proper and due the public that
they should know how l stand in regard
to the great questions before the Ameri-
can people. The main and all absorbing
question is the suppression of the enor-
nous rebellion-such rebellion as was
never before known in the history of the
world.
To be brief, / endorse heartily the res
olutions adopted by the Union State Con-
vention, lately held at Jackson believe
that it is the duty of every one to do all
in their power to maintain the constitu-
ton as it is and the Union as it was-to
provide all the means that are called for
by the President and those in authority
to carry on the war and successfully
crush out the rebellion-in word, TO
obey all lawful orders Of the President.
All ultra, sectional doctrines, from what
ever quarter they may come, should be
put down at once, and all questions that
do not tend to the salvation Of this gov
eminent should be let alone until the
country is at peace. GEORGE PARKS.

RAIRAoAp ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
KILLED.-On Sunday morning last, as
the night freight train, east, was approach
ing Charleston station, woodsawing ma
chine was discovered standing upon the
main track. Efforts were made to stop
the train but not in time to avoid terri
bic collision which resulted in the death
of the engineer, AARON MoCuRDY, one Of
the oldest men on the road, and highly
esteemed by all who had the pleasure Of
his acquaintance. This melancholy event
cannot but admonish people 10 be ex-
tremely careful, especially those who
seemingly have the lives of others in theil
own hands. Mr.. McCurdy leaves wife
and child 10 mourn his loss.

A woAAS or TAsre.--The following


A WOMAN OF TAsre.--The following
very happy and equally true sketch is from
the London Quarterly Review =
"You see this Lady turning cold eye to
the assurances Of shopmen and the recon-
mendations of milliAers. She cares not how
original u pattern may be, if it be usly--or
how recent a shape--if Il be awkward.
Whatever laws G,slim dicat she follows
law Il her own, aud j. never behind y
She wears beautiful things, which p~oplr
generally suppose are fetched from Parls
or at leasi, made b. French miliner, but
which as often are bought at the nearest
town and made u 10y her own maid. Not
that her costume is either rich or new; on
The contrary, she wears many cheap dress
bu, it is always preuy-and many sn old
one, but il is good. She deals in no saudy
confusion Of colors, but she either retreshes
you with spirited contrast, or composes
YOU with judicious harmony. Not a scrap
Of rinsel or tlum2ery appears upon her
She puts % faith in velvet bands, or gilt
buttons, or twisted tording She IS quite
aware, however, that the garnish is as I'M
portaut as tie dress all her inner borders
and beading are delicate and fresh and
should anything peep out that is not intend
ed TO be sten. it is quite as much SC as that
which is. After all there is no great art
either in her fashions or her materials.
The secret simply consists in her knowing
the three grand uniiies Of dress-her own
station, her own age, and her own points.
And no woman can dress well who does
not. After this, we need not say that who
4 ever is attracted by the costume will not
be disappointed 10 ne wearer She may
not be handsom, nor accomplished, but we
will answer for her being even tempered,
well Informed, tllroughly sensible and a
complete lady"

AGRICULTURE Al

Frctful mrn are seldom fat. Irritation
and annoyance interfere with both appetite

imals. A tiery, escitable beast is fatiened
with diificn!ty, and frequent annoyance Of
any kind viii seriously Interfere with the
thrift Of stock. Profit as wei as kindness
demands that the comfort Of animals should
be studied. Let Us note a few items which
are often neglected.
Regularity in feeding Is of The first inn
portance. An animal fed atirregular periods

on the lookout for supply; this causes
continual uneasiness Where the hour for
feeding is fixed. and puncIually observed,
the appetite i regulated accordingly the
food il taken with relish, and when i n
disposed of, there i no further anxiety until
the next fceliog tine comes around.
Keep animals clearly. All are so natu-

As kept as well combed and dressed as that
OF the women, and the animals themselves
lcara carefully to avoid all soilieg of their
coats. This is going to one extreme; bat
the opposite one, the entire neglect which
allows the hind quarters Of animals in the
stable 10 become coated with manure, is a
sin against common decency. Cleanliness
il essential to health. The skin performs
some OF the most important functions OF
the body. Keep it in good order by ire
quent carding AMI brushing. A coarse
card is better for this purpose than stiff
curry-comb. Much of the labor may be
saved by supplying the stalls with plenty
of litter. A good bed of straw will also
aid in keeping the animal comfortably
warm. The importance Of this has been
TOO often urged in the 1gricalturlst to need
repetition here.
Continued confinement is irksome to all
living creatures. Stock Of every kind
should be allowed TO spend a little time in
the yards during the warmest part Of every
pleasant day. Sunshine is stimulating ic
all natural functions, and is necessary Il
full health. Finally, keep The animals in
good humor by keeping good-natured your
self. A "jolly" fat man will be much more
likely 10 have jolly fat animals, than one
who can not pass through the yard without
venting his spleen by kick or curse up
on some unoffending brute diner. Agri.
