Poultry-SfrnH Grains.

Feed your poultry raw onions, chop
ped fine and mixed with other food,
about twice week. 1t is better than
a dozen cures for chicken cholera.
Fowls exposed TO dampness are apt to
be troubled with catarrh, which will
run to roup if not attended to. Red
pepper mixed with soft feed, fed sever
al times week, will relieve the cold.
Pulverized charcoal given occasional
ly is a preventive of putrid affections,
to which fowls are very subject.
Pulverized chalk, administered with
soft feed, will cure diarrhea. The dis
order is caused by want of variety of
food. or by too much green food.
Setting hens can be cured by putting
water in II vessel to the depth of one
inch, putting the hen into and covering
the top of the vessel for about twenty
four hours. The vessel should he deep
enough to allow the fowl to stand up.
This is the best remedy | have ever
tried.
Garlic, fed once or twice week, is
excellent for colds.
Earth worms are greatly relished by
confined fowls. Take spade and turn
over the ground once a day for your
hens They will soon run after you
when they see you with the spade, and
will amply reward you for the extra
trouble to accommodate them, by an in
creased supply of eggs.
See that plenty of pure water is with
in easy reach of your chickens on frosty
mornings. Also, feed early.
| Close up all cocks in poultry houses
near the roosting poles. Fowls very
much dislike air which reaches them
| through cracks and crevices.

Half nm Acre Eaough.

A shoemaker over in Jersey bought
half an acre lot. He was fond of fruit
and read the papers. The soil was wet
clay, and he selected fruit suited to the
climate. He built house and put his
Land in q condition to produce fruit.
He had no manure but the droppings OF
street cattle. In his leisure, he brought
from the woods bark, rotten wood,
moss and leaf mold, which he mixed
with the soil three feet deep. This was
done by degrees, and as fast as the
ground was prepared he planted fruit:
He become so interested and successful
that he retired from the cobbler's bench.
was his near neighbor and knew him
intimately. His half acre supported
himself and wife comfortably, almost in
elegance. She had no servant, and had
plenty of time to cultivate flowers.
Strangers inquired about their beauti-
full home.
Isabella grapes and common currants
formed the bulk of his fruit. With a
better selection his income would have
been larger. Others have had the same
success on small pieces of ground.
One knew who supported his family
ON one acre. Half was in grapes, the

Radical Desperation in Connrc iicut

A dispatch from Meriden, CT, states
that ncgTo had been admitted to reg
i>trv 10y the Republican Board of Reg
i>trar> of that town and declared en-
Titled 10 vote. and that there was much
excitement in consequence. Such a
high-handed proceeding by Republi-
al, election board is not to se wonder
rd az. in view of the example set by
the leaders of the party in Congress
iu utterly disre sarding AL constitution
al and lawful restraint when the end
sought could not he otherwise reached.
But in this case ii only serves to show
he desperation of the Radicals without
jhc slightest possible chance of avaiiing
chem anything. Less than two years
rgo, proposition to enfranchise the ne
grocS III Connecticut by constitutional
amendment was sdefeated by u majority OF
over six thousand. As the franchise
question now stands, no negro who was
not an admitted freeman prior to the
ratification of the Constitution OF ISIS
can be admitted to vote in Connecticut.
The Republican Registrars of Meri-
den have introduced an element into
the canvass which is not calculated to
3elp their dropping cause. Repeated
rotee have shown that many of their own
party are not in favor of negro suffrage
made lawful, and it is but reasonable tt
conclude that they will be prompted b!
the action in this case to rebuke at the
hallot-box the attempt to foist such sui
lrage unlawfully upon their State.

Letters from the People.
Clerk ar ,be MunieiusI Court.

Clerk Of the Munici ipaI Court.
Editor of the Register:
Being daily reader of your excellent
paper, and assured that the triumph of
the party whose principles and tenden-
cies you so effectively advocate is the
loftiest object of your ambition, l am at
a loss to comprehend your apparent in
sensibility in regard to the election of
Clerk of the Municipal Court, now so
rapidly approaching. Il is true that
two communications on this subject from
"Obseryer" have appeared in your col
umns. but without eliciting line of
editorial comment. Do you approve or
repudiate his suggestions 1t is evident
that the overthrow of Radicalism is a
precedent condition to tae ascendency
of Conservatives; at the same time your
enlarged experience must convince you
that such results are impossible without
the instrumentality of party organiza-
tion, and that no party can be triumph
ant, or prolonged i'll its duration that
adopts the policy of prescribing its
friends and eXalting its enemies. A
majority of the present Council enter
tain political opinions and sentiments
with which the present incumbent has
no sympathy. They were elected as
the regularly nominated candidates of
a party which he has denounced and
opposed, and whom to defeat and sub
nit to political ignominy, has been the
grand object for which he and his Rad
ical associates are now and have been
laboring for years.
We scarcely think that gentleman
possessing the modesty and discern
ment of Mr.. Cbaplire, will urge his
claims upon the consideration of a
Democratic Council, but should he be
tempted to experiment upon their gem
erosity, then due regard for the wishes
of a majority of voters in the city, and
a determination to preserve the integ-
rity and maintain the ascendency of
orr party in Ohio county, will induce
the powers that be to remind him that
it is their duty to be just before being
generous. Permit me to suggest to our
friends in tho Council that to elect a.
Radical under present circumstances
would be an act of pusilanimity that
would be ,ieered at even by the OppO-
sition, and an irritating insult that
would be remembered and resented by
the hopeful and working rank and file
of the FIFTH WARD.

Doctor Holford's Patient.

We had been great chums at college,
John Barring and l, and having both

that we had a great deal of spare time
ON our hands, and we used to run down
often into the country for breath Of
fresh air, and to look up old friends and
acquaintance. On one of these occa-
sions took John down into my own
county, Suffolk, on visit t0 my father.
He was glad enough to come, for if the
truth must bo told, pretty sister of
mine had made deep impression on his
susceptible heart during the season in
London. We had q merry time Of it.
The birds were plentiful, and several
balls and parties were given in the
neighborhood, at which John and Emily
enjoyed themselves, / have reason to
believe, to their hearts content. A very
good fellow is John Barring, and l shall
not object to him as brOther-in law

on this subject, lest this paper should

Some two or three years ago man

motherless children, and also a young
girl who was the daughter of his de-

for her uncle. took care of her little
