Simplicity had certainly been adopted
in the present case, but the means had
shown themselves to be efficient. =
people are usually very silly" con-
tinued our friend, "when they hear, or
think they hear, suspicious noises of a
night. The first thing they usually do
is to light o candle, which proclaims to
the robber that he has been heard, and
must escape; then they 60 about the
house with this candle, and make q great
noise, so that a man may have plenty OF
time to get away, or hide hmeelf: In
stead Of this, If a person were to listen
intently, he would be able to hear any
suspicious noises distinctly, and decide
upon their cause; then, as he must knew
his own house better than a robber ne Is
best of the two In the dark; and when,
having armed himself, he has quietly
opened his door, he may work and listen
until the robbers are heard moving
about, when he may take such steps as
NAV seem necessary. If every person
were merely to plan what was to be done
in case of robbers entering his house,
and then to carry this cut If the ocea-
sion required it, burglary would be, too
dangerous and unsuccessful a proceeding
to be popular or profitable, and thus
might be given up for a more honest
method of obtaining a livelihood sothat
really we may consider ourselves to have
done the community at large a benefit.
when we capture me of these gentry
whilst those who allow their houses to be
with impunity, jeopardize their
property.

CELEBRATED
Horse and Cattle Powders.
THESE POWDERS HAVE PROV.
i ED, after a trial Of several years, to be su-
perior to any preparation Of the kind in use.
The chief superiority of these Powders arises
from the fact that they are composed OF meal
fyins PROPERTIES. TIL 8 Laxative elects crudi,
ties from the. stomach = and intestines; the
Tonic gives strength r. to the system OF the
Horse, and the purify . ing medicines contain
ed in them cleanse the y blood, and lay the
foundation for a heal. . thy and vigorous cir
c~ulation. The use of them improves the wind,
strengthens the appetite, and gives the horse a
fine, smooth and glossy skin-thus improving
the appearance, vigor and spirit of this noble an
imaL.
These Powders are not intended, as most
powders are, to bloat the animal, 80 as to give
him the appearance of being fat when not really
so-but, to remove the disease, and promote his
general health.
These Powders will strengthen the stomach
and intestines, cleanse them Of offensive matter,
and bring them to q healthy state. They are a
sure preventive Of Lung Fever, and a certain
remedy for all diseases Incident to the Horse, as

II used two or three times q week, through the
winter and spring, your Horses will never get the
Lung Fever, Cholic or Bolts. A few doses OF
these Powders will remove the worst Cough on
any Horse. Were owners OF Horses to feed a
few doses of these Powders every year, they
might save the lives of many valuable Horses.
MICH CO VS..
The properties this Powder possesses in in
creasing the quantity q OF Milk in Cows, give
it an importance and > value which should
place it In the hands of : every person keeping
a Cow. In fattening = cattle, II gives them
an appetite, loosens : their hide, and makes
them thrive much faster.

PEACE PROSPECTS.

Tho prospects of peace, with which
tho people have been lattered for the
last month, arc gradually dying out
Mr.. BLAIR has returned from Richmond
a second time without being able to &C
complish anJthing in the line of peace.
Mr.. LIycoLN's terms arc not such as
will DO accepted by the South upon any
consideration. Tho only terms upon
which a peace can be hoped for, is the
unconditional recognition Of the indie,
pendcncc of the Confcdaracy. LINCoLN's
conditions are the abolition of slavery
and reconstruction on Abolition basis
The differnce is 50 wide that reacc can
not be hoped for. The South will sacri'
fee all, and suffer ~annihilatian rather
than yield. The issue with them, as
they view it, is freedom or slavery. Poo.
pic may cry peace, peace, but there is nc
peace under Abolition rule until the issue
S decided by q vigorous prosecution OF
the war, and one side or the other is
whipped. Prepare for drafts and funerals.
