A DIMINUTIVE BREED OF CATTLE.-In the
report Of the Secretary of the Massachusetts
State Board of Agriculture for 1862, Mr. Flint
gives the following description of the COWS OF
Brittany, province in the north of France, as
observed by him at the International Exhibition
in London:
The little Bretasnc COWS pleased me exceed
ingly. Standing only about three feet high on
their legs-the most fashionable heieht-mostly
black and white, now and then, but rarely, a
red and white; they are docile as kittens, and
look pretty enough to become the kitchen pet
of the hard pressed mountain or hillside farmer,
with pastures too short for erosser animal
Ten pounds of hay will suffice for their limited
wants for twenty-four hours and they would
evidently I'll ten quart pail as quick aud as
hong any other COW.
"Those pretty COWS will often hold out in
milk, SO the hcrdsmen say, from fifteen to eigh-
teen months after calving and often begin with
the first calf with six or seven quarts a day
The horn is fne not unlike the jersey, bat
smaller and tapering off gradually, and the
escutcheon or milk marks Of Guenon generally
very good. Good COWS are held from sixty to
seventy dollars head, fancy price of course,
bit am not sure that they would not pay six
per cent on the investment, as we'll as most
fancy stock

TAxEs.-It will be remembered that few
weeks ago we stated that the merchants of New
berne had protested against paying the taxes i'm
posed by The State Convention. on the ground,
principally that that body had right to levy
retrospective taxes-that is had no authority to
impose taxes on business transacted previous to
the est abishment of the Provisional Government.
For instance, the Convention Ordinance levied a
tax of So every bale of cotton purchased at
any time during the year 1865. 1t appears that
Moore. Esq, had given opinion against
the legality of the tax act so far its retrospec
tive action was concerned.
The merchants of Newberne appealed to the
President of the United States for opinion on
the question. and the following dispatch states
the result:
Washington. Dec. l6.-The President APP
proves the decision made by the Hon. F Moore
in late opinion given to the Governor of the
State of North Carolina. to the effect that the
late State Convention had no right to impose
retrospective taxes.
We don't know yet how the matter will be set
tied. Of course the President had no ri ght to
interfere, but we are still under Provisional
Government we suppose his opinion must be re-
spected.

STEALING COTTON.-Cotton stealing seems to
be the main dependence of rogues in this section
at present. About every night somebody's
smoke house. or hog-pen, chicken-house. is in
vaded: but day and night cotton stealing is car
red on, and with SO much boldness that it is sur
prsing that there not more funerals among
the roguish class. One night last week six bales
Of cotton were stolen from Mrs. Glenn, living 4
or 6 miles from town. and brought to town and
deposited in a gentleman's barn (of course with
out his knowledge or consent.) The owner of
the barn discovered the cotton next day and gave
information TO the proper authorities; but we
don't know that the thief has been caught. Cum
ming white men assisted by negroes) are at the
bottom of this stealing business, and the sooner
some of them are exposed and shot, tho better.
The people in the country suffering great aG-
r~yance. All should prepare to defend them
selves and their premises.

Ing. The various divisions OF the great piO-
cession If Odd Fellows arc now marching
to the various positions assigned Tor Their
formation preparatory to marching 10 par
ticiyatc in the ceremonies OF the unwilling OF
the splendid statue of Charity. The pro.
cession moved at II O'Clock and occupied
just one hour in passing. The column march
ed four abreast Most of the Lodges appear
ed in new regalia, and there were many
new and elegant banners displayed. Five
bands OF music were intcrsperscd throughout
the line In the body of the procession
there appeared some half dozen large wagons
handsomely decorated, and crowded with
young orphan children, mostly girls, Who
bore numerous decorated shields, variousy
inscribed with the names of various States
and territories, notices, etc. Three cars
were each drawn by six Colored groOms,
dressed in Turkish costume. Following these
cars came large number OF orphan boys,
who like the children in the cars, are being
educated at the expense Of the Order. Also
many orphan children accompanying the
various Lodges.
The rear of the procession was brought
up by the Grand Encampment, arrayed in
their costly regala. A conspicuous feature
of this portion of the procession was the
tent OF the Grand Epcampmcnt,in which was
seated the High Priest of the Order, arrayed
in his vcstmcnts, with the two Guardians on
either side, the door clad in black velvet,
waving plulnes and black velvet robes
Last Of all came the members of the Grand
Lodge of the United States, in carriages.
To the disappointment of the vast body of
spectators, the President Of the United
States was not present, having been pre-
vented by official duties from accepting the
invitation.
The head of the procession reached the
| monument shortly after noon, when the line
was halted, whilst the Grand Lodge march
cd from the extreme left to the stand erected
near the base of the monument. where the
| ceremony Of unwilling the statue of Charity
took place.
After prayer by Rev. Mr.. Williams, the
report of the Wilder Monument Committee
was read Past Grand Sire Nicholson then
formally presented it to the Grand Lodge OF
| the United States, which was then received
| on their part by Past Grand Sire Veitch in
an eloquent address.
