Mr.. Holmes, of the Maine Farmer, told
me he never saw or owned better yoke
Of cattle of their weight. have seen a
yoke of half blood and they were as smart
and of good size; their owner told me he
could travel on the road with them faster
than any cattle he ever owned.
As to size l would no, own larger cows
than now have; their weight is 800 to
1000 pounds. i saw bull four and half
years old, out of the same stock that mine
are, weighing on the foot l400 pounds.
mention these facts, that farmers would do
well to look at them before condemning
this breed of cattle.
see by the Massachusetts Ploughman
that Mr.. Giles of Connecticut has given
his opinion as to the comparative merits of
Ayrshire and Jerseys for milk and butter.
Now must differ from him about the quanti-
ty, that the Jersey willyield. l believefor
the milk dealer she would be better
than the Ayrshire, as he could depend on
a steady flow of uniform quantity, which
would enable him to supply the regular
daily wants OF his customers. The only
trouble lie could meet with as see it
would be, they would require but half the
quantity, as friend of mine told me, he
could take quart of Attorney milk and
add one quart of water ami it would then
be equal to the other for tea or coffee.
AS have said SO much in favor of the
Jersey, it will be proper for me to give the
result of five cows the past year.

THE milk factory in East Bridgeport re- sumed operations again on Monday, afte, suspension of some weeks. They fur. nish employment for about 200 hands.
 THE Hartford Times says that the price of meats has been so reduced thata sub- stantial liver can be purchased for $3, 30 what used to cost him $9, in the markets.
 CHARLES D. FULLER, convicted at the March term of the superior court, in Hart ford, of theft of about $20,OOO worth of bonds, the property of Loyal Wilcox, de- posted in the vault of the Hartford bank, when Fuller was teller, was sentenced on Saturday last, to five years imprisonment in the State Prison. He insists thct he is innocent.
 THz highest salary paid to a pastor, at Middletown, is $1 ,000: the smallest $500. not pastor has had cent added to his pay since the war began, while the cost of living has more than double.
 ON the 18th inst. the Superior Court at New Haven, adjourned without day, after g session of forty-six days, having disposed of two hundred and twenty cases during the term. One hundred and seventeen new cases were brought to this term, being a reduction of one hune red and three.

 The Rev. John A. Parsons of the diocese of Delaware, following the example of the younger Tyng, has presumed to preach in the Second Reformed Church of Haoken- sack, N. J., without asking permission of the rector of some Episcopal church near by. These cases of irregularity in the Episcopal Church seem to be rapidly null tiplying.
 Another election defeat of the English tories is recorded. Mir. Paget, the liberal candidate for South Leicestershire, has de- feated Mir. Pell. tory and tenant farmer. This is clear gain to the liberals.

Congress.

Congress is evidently going to work with a will They have already disposed of the impeachment question, and will abolish the tax on cotton, and stop the contraction Of the currency. The financial question will probably occupy their attention, prin- cipally. Every effort will be made to equal ize, and, if possible, reduce the load of taxation which weighs so heavily on our industry. Secretary McCulloch proposes to fund our debt into six per cent gold in- tercst-bearing bonds, one per cent. of which is to be reserved and allotted, in just proportion, to national, state and munioi- pal taxation. Senator Fessenden demands c return to specie payments in 1869. and Ben Butler and the Democracy are for a moderate measure of repudiation. The National Banks will probably be heavily attacked. but as the government is making already nearly as much out of them as it could make by their abolition, and as they are an unquestionable convenience to the people. we doubt whether they will suffe, serious injury. The ,Whiskey tax will be reduced, and a vigorous attempt made tc collect it. On the whole, we expect more business and less buncombe than is usual in our great deliberative assembly.

friend Lieut.. c. s. Roberts, of Sharon, Conn, was especially useful. Two negroes were on trial for murder, and the crime was evidently proved upon them by negro witness named George Lowry. On a cross examination, something wrong was discov- cred, when Lieut.. Roberts, at the instance of other parties, persuaded the witness If he would tell the whole truth, keeping back nothing, the protection of tho Bureau would be extended to him.

Fenianism,

The late proceedings of Fenianism in Great Britain are not such as America will be in a hurry to endorse. Murder and ar son are not popular crimes with us. The latter, in fact, is the sole remaining offense of which Yankee jury will find a prisoner guilty on insufficient evidence. Yet these seem to be the sole weapons Fenianism is now using, and the murderers and incen- daries who perpetrate the most cowardly crimes in the most cowardly manner pass for patriots!
 If, instead of assassinasiug his friend and benefactor. Brutus had burned Cn- sar's hen-roost or slyly murdered private or two of the Tenth Legion, we tIoubG whether he would have efTaeted revoIuaien, or been remembered h hissorF-boggs patriot as he really WAS. It is by such means, however, that the Head Centres Of Fenianism seem to think they can overturn the British Monarchy and achieve immor- tality for themselves!
 The most absurd villiany of all was the late attempt of some unquestionably Irish variety of Guy Hawkes. to save the lives of certain prisoners by blowing up their pris- onl The plan failed, of course, but incl dentally involved three murders and forty cases of serious injury; the victims, so far as we can learn, being quiet people not in the least obnoxious even to the bitterest Fenian. For these murders, in due time. doubtless, certain other human beings will be hung; and hemp will justly become a lasting and popular feature in the admin istration of British justice.
 However just ground of complaint Ire- land may have against England she cannot obtain redress in any such ways as these. She will only forfeit all sympathy abroad, and rivet her chains the tighter at home
Litchfield enquirer., 1867-12-19
The Alabama Constitution.

The synopsis of this much abused in- strument has at last reached us. On exam ination there proves to be nothing formid. able, ard little unusual in it. We have been told by the Conservative Press that it was designed to throw all political power into he.hands of few Northern immi. grants, who expected to obtain easy control of 8 constituency composed entirely of ne. groes. The first feature of the proposed Constitution that strikes us as at an un. common, is section making ten years residence in the State necessary qualif- cation for the State Senate! This, certainly, is unusually hard on the Northern adven. turerw The disfranchising clauses follow, substantially, the provisions of the Recon struction Acts, and power is given to the Legislature to remove even those disabili- ties.
 The only important, unusual feature is the electors oath which requires every registered voter to swear, ''to support the Union, the State of Alabama, to accept the civil and political equality of all men and agree not to deprive any one, on account of color, race, or previous condition, of any political or civil right" This is evidently however, condition defensive, rather than 8 condition offensive, on the part of the dominant" black race. We have, our selves, little confidence in the saving effect of oaths; nor have we much more faith in the efficacy of disfranchisement So far, however, as there is any efficacy in consti- tutional safeguards of that description, those provided in this instrument are ex- cellent. What the conservatives are pleas ed to term "the conflict of races" is noth- ing more than an evident determination on the part of the negro to preserve his iber- ty and equality, at all hazards. When those are secure he and his old master can be political friends and not before. The adoption of such constitutions as that of Alabama, and frank acquiescence by the Southern white in the accomplished fact of impartial suffrage and equal rights, would settle the "confiet of races." forever.
