occur to those familiar with this
noble animal. He will understand
their meaning; and they will affect
his character. A horse so treated,
will he pleasant beast to handle,
he will keep and fatten better,
will be in better health, and will
do more work than one managed
differently. This should be done
from the animals earliest years,
but even if neglected while young,
the horse may thus be taught to
love his owner.
Regularity and syStcm.-This
will show itself in determining the
time and amount of feeding and Of
working. Nearly all the diseases
to which the horse is subject, come
from irregularity in these respects.
If he is under fed and overworked,
the tone OF his system will become
relaxed. and disease be likely to set
IN. So If he is over-fed, and has
deficient or irregular exercise, he
will co ltract another set OF dlseas-
es. The man who Is regular and
systematic in his own habits OF Nv
ing, is most likely to enjoy health
and long HE, while he who indul-
ges in excuses of any kind is sure
to suffer from frequent and violent
attacks of illness, and end his days
prematurely. 1t is hardly less 50
with mans favorite animal, the
horse.
Change of diet, cleanliness, and
good shelter should not be
overlooked. For the horse running
at large, as in the wild state, the
diet which nature gives him is all
sufficient, but for one confined,
stabbed, and worked, much atten-
ton should be given to his food.
Hay and oats are doubtless the
best food, all things considered,
but even these should have an oc
casional variation. Carrots, pota-
toes, bran, fresh cut grass. should
be given him in their place and
time. During Summer it seems
only simple justice that, when
practicable, the horse should bt
treated Tor time 10 that fooc
which is most natural to him
fresh grass. Ii every stabbed, hare
working horse could have sum
mer vacation of several weeks In {
pasture, it would soften his dry an;
crac ked hoofs, correct his digestion
improve his wind, his skin, and in
deed renovate his entire system
But where this indulgence can no
be enjoyed, a horse should have
frequent messes of loosening food
such as roots, bran mashes will
cut straw, fresh grass, etc.
As to cleanliness both good look
, and health demand this. A hors
we'll curried will make peck o
oats 60 much further than one un
groomed. Good shelter saves ma
ny a horse from taking cold whel
7 coming in from work, and add

TINE To CUT TIMBER.


AMBROSE KrMBALL, OF Reading,
thus writes TO the Boston Recon der
on this subject: short time
since | saw a statement on this
subject in newspaper. l wish to
give my own experience and Oh
servation for over fity-five years,
constantly working and using most
all kinds oil timber, more especially
oak, ash, and walnut. have
learned by dear experience, Tor ]
have lost much by the effects OF
worms IN my timber, and have
found when timber may be cut and
have no worms, or powder post, as
il Is called. Cut timber from the
middle Of September to the middle
oil December, and you cannot get
worm into 1t. October and NO
vember are perhaps the best
months, and sure to avoid the
worms. You cut from March to
June. and you cannot save the tim
Der from worms or borers. Nav
used to be called 'peeling time In
my bo; hood; much was then done
in procuring bark for the tanner
les, when the sap is up in the trunk
and all the pores are full OF sap;
whereas IN October those pores are
all empty--then is the time to cut,
and there will be no worms.
Whenever YOU see an OK bow with
the bark tight, there are no worms,
no powder post, and you cannot
separate 1t from the wood, and
what is true in one kind is true In
all kinds OF timber, and every kind
has its peculiar kind of worm.
The pine mas, believe, the largest
worms; and these worms work for
many years. | have found them
alive aad at work in white oak
spokes that ! knew had been In my
garnet over twelve years, and they
were much larger than at first
they do not stop in the sap; bu
continue irto the solid part. dc
not think OF buying timber unless
it is cut In the time above alluded
to.
81 have wondered that there ha
not been more said on this subject
as it is one of great importance
even for frewood. and especial,
for ship-building, &c. | have al
ready, perhaps, prolonged this arti
Gle too much. Now | want to en-
quire OF some of the wise of thi
enlightened age, whence and wheI
do these troublesome creature
come? Have they any parents
how came they in this solid wood
was there an egg deposited tina
caused the worm, or how did b.
come into being? We know the
are there, and now, will some on
please to show us the way, and al
about their origin, &c."

HOW SOLDIERS HAVE BEEN RE.
CEIVED IN PHILADELPHIA.

We gather the following interesting
facts from the Philadelphia Press
Two hundred and nineteen regular re-
giments. making an aggregate of 2O5, 600
men were refreshed at the Volunteer Re-
freshment Saloons in Philadelphia from
May. 1861, to October 80, 1862. In ad.
dition to these, 225,000 were entertained
in squads and regiments going aud re-
turning, and 10000 subsequent to Octo-
bcr 23d, making total of 100000 men
who have eaten at these establishments
The cost of meals per capita has been es-
timated at twenty cents, which with the
numerous other expenses incident to the
organization and management of the sa-
looms (eXclusive of help, which is, Of
course, given gratuitously,) shows that
over 100000 have been appropriated by
voluntary subscription through these
channels alone for the comfort of soldiers
passing through the city of Philadelphia.
AT least 100000, subscribed by our
citizens in order to promote enlistment, is
to be added to the above, together with
about 1000 appropriated for the same
object by the City Councils, 1t would
be difficult to estimate correctly the
amount of contributions in money, provi-
sions, and labor for the invalids in our
hospitals. The removal of sick and
wounded soldiers from the boats or ears
to the hospitals is most efficiently super.
intended by the fire companies of the city,
who have more than twenty-five ambulan-
ces in the serrice.
The arrival of boat or train contain
ing sick or wounded troops is announced
by the ringing of the State House fre-bell.
The signal Of the alarm bell (nine and
six) being given, and closer information
obtained at the nearest police telegraph
station, the various fire companies are
soon on the spot. Besides other contri-
buttons, the families of volunteers like

cal attendance. Philadelphia has acted

The Wilmington Institute Scientific
Lectures.

Mr.. Taylor delivered the Seventh Lecture
OF the Course, on last Thursday evening
His subject was PSEuMATIcs, in which he
explained the composition, qualities and
capabilities Of the atmosphere, and illustra.
ted by beautiful and occasionally amusing
experiments, the weight, impenetrabiliiy,
elasticity force and pressure Of the common
air in which We live, move and have onr
being. Few persons who have not given
some attention to this department of Natu-
ral Philosophy are aware of the beautiful
simple and highly important facts which il
comprises. How many are there who feel
IN allowable pride in their general intelli.
gence who possess IL definite and satisfactory
knowledge of the wonderful power of at
mospheric pressure, and Of the valuable
purposes to which it is applied, or of the
formation of dew, fog, Clouds rail and hail Z
Mr.. I. is provided with very com
plete apparatus, by which he elucdates al
most every part of his subject, and we ac-
knowledge our indebtedness to him for much
practical information. lie is thoroughly
conversant with the scientific truths he ex.
plains, and equally skillful in illustrating
them. The Institute has been very fortu.
nate in obtaining his seryices-which are
entirely gratuitons, and, in point of solid
instruction and utility, of far greater value
than the trimmed and polished essays, called
Literary lectures. which are more remarkable
Tor the price paid for them than for any
durable or useful impression which the,
create.
But three lectures of the course now re-
main. The next will be given on Thursday
the 26th inst, at p. m., in continuation o
the subject of Pneumatics, in which tn,
lecturer will describe and explain the prin
ciple and action of the pump, The baromete
and the balloon
We earnestly recommend all who desir
to be entertained and instructed, to avai
themselves of the opportunity of attendin,
