SHEEP HUSBANDRY, NUMBER 3.
 WINTER CARE OF SHEEP

It being supposed that our sheep come into the winter prepared for it, that is in good healthy condition, it must be the care of the farmer to preserve this thrift. If they are al lowed to get poor, they will not only die from poverty, but disease is more apt to attack them the wool ceases to grow, and falls of when they begin to thrive again; driven by hunger they form bad habits, until we must say we do not know of more pitiable, un profitable, and wholly desolate looking animal on the farm than a neglected half starved hide-bound ragged sheep.
 An open shed, with running water in the yard forms the best accommodation for win tering sheep. It should be kept we'll filtered both for the benefit of the sheep and the ma nure. No other animals should be allowed to lie with sheep, except it be calves. The casualties arising from the horns of cattle and the heels of colts amount to more than the advantages of the system.
 Racks should be provided for feeding The common form isgood ifyou add tight bottoms. They may then be used for feeding roots or grain, and all the hay seed and broken hay will be saved. For long wo ooled Sheep make the side boards farther apart and add upright strips about ten inches or one foot apart.- Fine early cut upland hay with mixture of clover will keep Sheep in nice order. Hay damaged either in the field or the barn is not fit for Sheep. If the quality of the hay is poor. use some grain or roots.
 The refuse hay from the racks, if kept clean and dry may be fed to cattle or horses. It does not become distasteful to them by being brsathed upon by the Sheep. It is better to take it from the racks than to allow the cattle to be with the Sheep. If they lie with the Sheep and fill themselves with the good hay they will not eat the refuse so close as when it is fed to them. Almost all kinds of weeds and bushes are greedily eaten by Sheep. The milk weed, and pIantain, when we'll cured are dainty morsels. They are very fond of pea vines, if cured when green. Oats in the sheaf will be con sumed with little waste.
 Feed regularly three times day It is bet ter to keep Sheep entirely confined in the yard during winter than to let them run. They eat their fodder better, are more quiet less liable to be attacked by dogs, do not acquire bad habits of rambling, and generally thrive better than when allowed to range, also the manure is worth more when dropped in the yard so that il can be applied when wanted, and the fields are better not to be gnawed down in winter. We know that half dozen cosset Sheep will lie around with the COWS and young cattle and keep fat. But these sheep in win ter, if the ground is free from snow ao much harm. and always waste much hay. In sum mer, if the pastures are full of weed and bushes, they will crop these and thrive, while they con- sume but little of the good feed.
 To repeat the directions for winter, the es- sentiels are, shelter, a dry bed, good hay, water regularity in feeding and an occasional feed of roots or apples.

A CHEERFUL STAGE DRIVER. US Ward in describing his journey from California says: -" The driver with whom I sat outside, in- formed me as I slowly rolled down the fearful mountain road which looks down on either side into an appalling ravine. that he has met accidents in his time and cost the California Stage Company great deal of money, because said he ,juries is agin us on principle. and eye. ry man wEo sues is sure to recover. But it will never be SO agin, not with me, you betP How is that said. It was frightfully dark. It was showing withal. and, notwithstanding the brakes were kept hard down, the coach slewed wildly, often fairly touching the brink of the black precipice. How is that ? said Why, you sec he replied, that corpses never sue tor damages, but mained people do. And the next time have an overturn, l shall go round and keeriully examine the passengers. Them as is dead shall let alone g but them as is mutilated I shall finish with the king-bolt l Dead folks don't sue. They ain t on it. Thus with anecdote, did this driver cheer me up.' l Acc1DEsr.

Female Radicalism in the Cars.

Quite curious scene occurred in the Bayou
road cars the other lay. A Indy, fshe must
have been lady by the way she acted,)
dressed to kill or cure, was sitting in, one of
the cars. our informant one seat removed from
her, and an Irish laborer on the side opposite
next to the back door, The principal actors
being in this position, 1--WE must first mention
that the car was not consolidated, but of that
class specially constructed for the use of white
peope,) three ebony-hued youngsters, average
ing from fourteen to seventeen jumped upon
the doorstep and stood there, grinning alter
their peculiar fashion. The Irishman, who
was little bit funny and open handed, 10 the
fullness of his jovial soul, aimed slight slap
at the foremost of the dark-skinned intruders.
The blow disturbed the equilibrium of the fell
lows hat, and both fell innocuously on the lap
Of earth. Fury and anger cleaning in her
coultenance, the fair one aforementioned rose
from her seat and planted blow full in the
Irishman's face. The latter was somewhat
staggered, but recovering, protested that he
would return the blow if repeated, be Ja-
sus" The lady informed him that she would
reiterate If he again struck the negro boy
The lrishman was mute, but thought prodigi-
ous!y; the result Of his thinking was, that the
dark intruders having attempted second in
vasion, were again repused ignominiously.
The Amazon. who perhaps belongs to the
Desdenlonia Association Immediately got up,
true to her word, assaulted Pat with her UNI
brella until she broke itupon him in her fury
Ayoung gentleman passenger thereupon inter-
fered, threatening the Desdemonia with the
police; whereupon the peacemaker was forth
with vituperated by the enraged fair to within
half mathematical line of his life. By this
time the nggers had ceased their futile at
tempts at invasion, and oar informant having
got to bis place of destination, absented him
self with proper degree of velocity. He says he
would have acted in the matter, but a woman
is woman, whatever else she may be, and
though he did not respect her as lady, yet
he gave her the benefit of his general devo-
ton to the sex.-N. O. Crescent

How a Virginia Church was Helped
by the UngOdly.

The Editor of the Nashville Gazette, after
publishing an amusing anecdote of clergy
mans taking up collection from a gambling
party, says; a
1t reminds lis of scene we witnessed some
YEAR, ago in the little town of Ashland, Eir-
ginia, the birthplace of that sterling states
man and patriot, the late Henry Clay. A
party of turfmen were seated in the clubhouse
after the close of the days races, when lady
at the door seut for well known Major,
and requested him to raise subscription for
the purpose of repairing little church edi6ce.
The Major promised to do SO and report to
the good lady on to morrow. About nine at
night a huge bowl of punch was brewed
willie a party ofgentlemen were seated around
the table enjoying agame Of bluff. The
punch being ready, the game was suspended
for moment; beverage disappeared to the
health of the universe, when the Major called
for subscriptions. A jolly young bachelor
proposed to give the proceeds of the next
game, which was assented to, and he led of
with hundred, and distinguished general
saw him and went hundred better, and
thus the game proceeded until right smart
pile of hundreds were handed to the Major for
the benefit of the church.

Singular Cure Of INSANITY.

A Kalamazoo, Mich, correspondent of the.
Detroit Adoertiser relates the following:
A Mrs. Rowland, who had long been a
resident in this county, and who had been
hoplelessly insane for nearly thirty years, was
sent for by her husband in California. Ac-
companied by her daughter-in-law, she left
here and proceeded on the journey by steamer
When out about four days from New York a
most violent storm arose, which lasted three
days, seriously threatening the destruction Of
the steamer and all on board. When, how
ever, the storm abated, what was the surprise
and delight Of the daughter to find that the
old lady had suddenly recovered her mind and
was perfectly sane, though she was at a loss
to know how she was in the place aud under
the circumstances she found herself on awak-
ening from such long sleep of the intellectu-
al faculties. On arriving at San Francisee7
what was the establishment of the husband to
meet her whom he had not seen for nine years.
and whom he deemed hopelessly maniac,
sound and we'll, and joyfully recognizing him
This was year ago. Letters recently receiv-
ed by her friends here state that there has been
no return of the disease whatever, and that
she is we'll and entirely cured. Is there ano-
Their such case of cure on record?

The indecency of putting at the head of
the Committee of Manufactures in the u.
States Senate man whose private interests
are directly the reverse of the people, and who
has shown disposition to sacrifice the latter
in order to aggrandize the former, is eliciting
much comment in the press. Thus the Kan
sas City Aduertiser says: la".t aes ID
Senator Sprague, one Of the largest manu-
facturers of cotton goods and richest men in
the land, has had the almost unparalleled
impudence to make move in the Senate to
Increase Il epr Elective dutie 70 gu b material.
1t is notorious in business CIRCLES East that
those wealthy factors, the Spragues of Rhode
Island, have, during the last nine months
sold their cotton cloths at a profit of ninety
to one hundred per cent What they make
every week would be sufficient to enrich
Western man. Yet the country is to be fur
Their taxed to contribute to their Unsuitable
appetite for more money. Like the Jew in
the farce, more monish, more monish"
Here is United States Senator, as such
endeavoring SO to shape the legislation If The
country as to enable him to further cram his
already overgorged pockets by emptying the
pockets of the people. But the day will
come, sure and certain, when the Western
man will emancipate himself from such thral-
dom. Negro suffrage is dear to the Spragues
and the high protectionists, only that it may
be used at the polls to neutralize the sturdy
white voters of the West, and perpetuats in
definitely our commercial abasement.

The Confederate Dead in the North.

The story of the suferings of the prisoners
of war in the North has not been written.

truth will be told. We have an inkling III

Capt c. 0. Stillwell, in his search after his
brother Baldwin, who was captured at Rasa-
Ca, May, 1864, and whose future fate was I'M

Captain Stillwell writes that be there found
