Packing Eggs.

A writer advises that eggs should be
packed with the small ends upwards,
and gives the following reasons:
Most persons will have observed
that when an egg is boiled II is
observed at the round end, which is
more or less extensive according to the
age ofthe egg now this is on thatpart
of the egg whore the she'll is most po-
rOus, and where the air is admitted
most freely. This air chamber is OF

the supply Of the necessary air under
the variations Of the outer temperature
and 1t will be found that the chamber
gets enlarged as the Matching pro

A splint is a email, bopy tuIior,
which forms on the inside ofthe shank,
or cannon bone. They sometimes de

cases they make their appearance in a
slow and gradual manner They are
usually situated on the inside of tho
shank bone, and they not unfrequently
arise from a blow on the legby the op.

near the knee-joint, it is more likely

the horse is pre-dIsposed to exOstosis,
and, that consequently bony tumors
may form in other regions of the

Treatment. When there is much
heat and tenderness over the seat of
splint, it is advisable to apply a wet
bandage to reduce tho inflammation,
and little blistering ointment may
afterwards be applied. By those
means, though the spllnt is moi re-
moved, it ceases to occasion pain, and
consequently to occasion lameness, It
is chiefly in young horses that splints

in the desoate homes of unfortunate country people,
OH what field for missionaries is there not here Why
will societies raise pity for the heathens at the North
Pole mission? Why here so-caed Christian souls
wrapped in darkness to which heahenism is light and
what are our missionaries doing? How combatant and
anxious they become when intelligent sober, vrtuous
citizens combine for the restoration Of their lost nation
atty How they hul their censures on our unfortunate
heads, who violated any law, unless perhaps the

gentlemen who have been loud in their condemnation

It is useless for us to talk to those degraded people

The Late Elections.

We have few words to say respecting the elections
which have lately off in Pennsylvania Ohio, and
Iowa. And as is wont, shall speak what we
believe to be the TRUTH without fear or favor.
In point of principle liberty and slavery were the real
questions at issue in these electoral contests Is liberty
to be perfect and universal in this great American Re-
public, or are we to have hateful and hypocritca
modification of slavery? Are all intelligent men, ire
.pectve of creed color to enjoy equal and impartial
political rights Or to make these United States
sort of white Sparta with its dusky millions of trampled
heots? Such in point of positive fact the questions
at issue And although it may take ve or ten or fifty
years. they must and shall be fought out to their legt
mate consequences The interests at stake are too vital
to permit even the shadow of thought of compromise
much less of surrender Our duty to God and man. to
liberty to country, to humanity demands frmness here
All men must be free. The giant Republic of the
West must become the pattern and protector of liberty
all the world over. The infamous despots of Europe
must be undermined and destroyed The chains of I'M
happy Ireland must be broken All this demands the
steadfast fathfuness of the Republicans of America
faithfuness which is certain to be crowned with
eventual triumph the deafness of winter and the
changing vicisstudes of spring certain to be fol-
lowed by summer with it's light and life, and glory and
gladness.
In two of the States which have named the party
who have written liberty" their banners have suf
fered defeat This is to be deplored not much be-
