Hen and women.

Women may talk Of their inherent rights
as much as they rle~~e, but they can It over
come nature-they nlay preach about the
quality of the sez but theg can't overcome
facts and organizations. If men and oaks
were made to be established between calico
and cashmere tomorrow, it would be a
week before all the officers would be men
and all the soldiers women.
Females are perfectly willing to &C
ahead provided the men go first Set fire
to steamboat, and not one yard of dimity
will bulge till cashmere sets the example
So long as men cling to the vessel, the
women will cling to the men. But if they
plunge overheard, chemisetts will plunge
too. As we said before, reformers may
pirate as they may about equal rights, bu
they can't alter the regulations of Cod
1t is as impossible for women to cut them
selves loose from man as it is for stee
dust to free itself from the attachment t.
q magnet.

Halter Breaking Young Colts.

Young colts, when their dams are used
In harness, are frequently troublesome
about following, especially when travelling
meet other horses. 1t is common to see
young colt run directly away from its dam,
when on the road, and becoming bewild>
cred, no little trouble is required to bring
it back To avoid all annoyance from
this source, make soft halter suitable
for the colts head, and hitch it to strong
fence, or some other place, where it can
not run around post and wind the rope
up 1t may pull for several hours, but it
will soon learn to stand. As soon as ac-
customed to the halter, the colt may be
taught to lead, by placing the dam few
rods distant from where it is hitched, and
leading it toward her. 1t will be impos-
sible to lead colt away from its dam, un-
til it has become we'll accustomed to the
halter. By spending little time with a
colt, treating it with the greatest gentle
ness, it may be taught to travelby the side
Of its dam, whenever she goes.
Tie the colts halter to the backband of
the dams harness, so that it can just
reach her udder. This length Of halter
will prevent the colt running forward OF
the mare when she is travelling. In a few
days it will become so gentle, that any one
can put on the halter and handle it
When colts are not accustomed to the
halter until they are two or more years
old, they are frequently very difficult to
manage. But if taught to lead when
quite young, they can often be changed
from one place to another, with little diff
ficulty, and will be much more managea-
bic \ griculturist.

WHAT TIE TELEGRAPH DID TO A
MINIsTER.-Of all the freaks of the tele-
graph, the following is the most laughable
which has come under our personal kowl-
edge Not long since a graduate from
one of our eastern theological schools was
called to the pastoral charge of a church
In the extreme southwest. When about
to start for his new parish he was unex-
pectedly detained by the incapacity of his
Presbytery to ordain him In order to
explain his non-arrival at the appointed
time, he sent the following telegram to
the deacons of the church :-;Presbytery
lacked a quorum to ordain" In the
course of its journey the message got
strangely metamorphosed, and reached
the astonished deacons in this shape =
''Presbytery tackled worm on to Adam
The sober church officers were greatly
discopposed and mystifed, but after grave
consultation concluded it was the minis
ter's faeetious way of announcing that he
had got married, and accordingly proceed
ed to provide lodgings for two instead o
one.-T Boston Traveller

from twenty-five to fifteen cents on every

sary to sustain the machinery of the State
government during the fiscal year ending
September Both, 1864, are all carefully stat

corresponding period in 1865 will reach the
sum of 81, $685. 900, and that the cxpendi

VACCINATION QUITE a stir was made

VACCINATION. QUITE q stir was made
among school teachers and pupils the begin
ming OF the present week, in our town, in
consequence of having discovered an act
passed by the General Assembly of Mary.
land, in 1864. Schools were suspended and
scholars sent in search of physicians certi-
Gates that they had been vaccinated
The following notice of the subject, from
Rev. l.. Van Bokkelen, State Superinten-
dent of Public Schools, may be of interest
to our readers:
OFFICE OF SUIT. OF Public Instruction.
The attention ofteachers of private schools
and academies is directed to an Act passed
by the General Assembly of 1864, entitled
I'm dct for the better p,'otection Of the peo-
pie Of the state against the rarages Of the
small poe.'
An erroneous impression prevails that the
injunction is binding only upon the public
schools of Baltimore city and the several
counties. 1t applies to every school within
the limits of the State. The law expressly
declares "1HW no teacher in any school
shall, after the lst day of January, 1865, re.
ceive into such school any person as a schol-
ar until such person shall produce the cert-
licatc of some regular practicing physician
that such applicant has been duly yaccina-
ted"
All teachers, therefore, who do not re-
quire each pupil to produce the certificate
are liable to the fine of ten dollars for each
ofense. The same law requires all parents
to have their children vaccinated under u
penalty Of ten dollars.

FIRE.-On Sunday morning last, be-
tween five and six o'clock, a light was dis
covered in the Elkton NJ. Z. Church, by Mr..
Abel Davis, who was passing, and on trying
church on fire inside he gave the alarm, and
in short time a number of citizens had as
sembled, and forcing the door found the
floor of the audience room on fire round one
of the heaters. The church being closed, the
air was prevented from getting to the fire,
which had been communicated from the
heater to jost which almost touched the
pipe The fire had slowly spread till it
reached the middle aisle, burning through
the floor between the joists, and setting fire
to several pews. The seat of the fire was
easily reached after entering the church, and
water was thrown on from buckets, which
soon exting"ished the flames.
The church is one of the finest in this part
of the State. and its being saved from total
destruction was Providential The smoke
was do dense and the heat in the church so
intense as to entirely ruin the painting, be-
sides burning several pews and melting one
of the chandeliers nearest the fire.
The damage is reputed to be about 81, 800
