After which Mr.. ] A. Craig being called
for, made telling speech, and his words
did not fall on barren soil.
Colonel J. P. Boyd followed in an address
that elected many cheers, He evidently
understood what he was saying, and made
several telling compar 3ons.
When our reporter left this stand Mr..
Thomas Scott was speaking in fervent
manner to an immense lumber Of people,
who seemed we'll pleased with the senti-
ments he uttered.
On the third stand, in the northeast cor
ner of the square, Judge Shannon opened
the ball to an immense concourse who had
been unable to approach either of the other
platforms. For three-quarters of an hour
he held his hearers in quietness, except
occasionally, when they applauded his fine
points. He talked in a practical, common
sense manner that had great force with his
audience. Occasionally he would assert
something, and tnen ask them if it were not
true. The prompt responses must have
hattered him.
The Judge pleased them so well that only
one or two other speakers had an opportu
nifty to address them.
Perfect order prevailed, as it did at the
other stands, and had not the storm burs
when it did there would have been orator.
speaking in several other parts OF th'
square.
The Judge then read the following list o
officers:

That genuine Democratic paper which ex.
presses the sentiments of its party unre-

describes a " conservative y;

How we hate the word.
1t is synonym for a eoward-one who
has no priuciple-no heart-no earnestness--

qualities of manhood.

A furious rain storm commenced about
halfpast eight o'clock while the speakers
were addressing the multitudes of people,
who held out bravely against the drench-
ing rain until few minutes past nine,
when the masses adjourned in good order
During the meeting everything was orderly,
but the Political enthusiasm was wrought
up to the highest pitch, and the speakers
were most rapturously applauded.
Every man present seemed to be inspired
with the purpose to do his whole duty in
the present crisis as a Republican, and this
meeting affords fresh assurance that the Re.
publicans of New Orleans win perfsrm THEN
duty to themselves, to the Republicans in
congress, to he nation, and the state.
The rain storm, though it had been ex.
pected, was quite unfortunate; but it de-
monstrated that the Republicans are not
alone fair.wealher men, and do not lack
pluck, otherwise they would not have
listened so long to the speakers while the
rain WAS falling in torrents.
As some OF the clubs marched along
Canal street, before the meeting, the ap.
pexrance they presented. with their long
iiaes illuminated BY scores Of transparent.
cies, WAS magnificent. ,
| We hope TO present asynopsis Of some Of
the leading speeches on the occasion before
J the election.

elegant scenery, dazzling tableaux. It is a

tastes OF their patrons. Mile Carnaggia
and Mons. Novissimo appeared last even
ing in voluptuous pas de deux Miss
Nellie Taylor and Miss Madelaine Hardy

How TO JUDGE THE CHARACTER OF A
HORSE BY OUTWARD Charles
L. Thsyer writes to the Country Gentle
man: .-
81 offer the following suggestions, the re-
suit OF close observations and long experi~
eDce. Ifthe color be light sorrel or chestnut,
his feet, legs and face white-these are marks
of kindness. II be is broad and full between
the eyes, be may be depended on as horse
of good sense, and capable Of being trained to
anything as respects such horses, the more
kindly you treat them the better you will be
treated in return. Nor will horse Of this
description stand whip if well fed. Ifyou
want safe horse avoid one that's dish-heed
He may be so far gentle as not to scare, but
ne will have too much go ahead in him to be
safe with everybody. If you want fool but
horse Of great bottom, get deep bay with
not white hair about him. If his face is
little dished so much the worse. Let no
man ride such horse that is not an expert
rider; they are always tricky and unsafe
III you want one that will never give out, new
er. boy an over grown one. A black horse
cannot stand heat, nor a white one, cold. If
you want gentle horse, get one with more
or less white about the head, the more the
better. Selections thus made are Of great
docility and gentleness."

SHELTERIEG Cows-As the season of cold
storms is upon us, it is especially important to
provide shelter for stock-particuIaIIy that
pertaining to the dairy departnent-some
farmers are culpabIy remiss with reference
to their milch cows. They will not thrive
and be productive if left to shelter cf fence
corners during the prevalence of storms Of
rain and sleet, where they become so chilled
as to assume crescent shape, and tremb'e
and shiver as If under the influence of an
ague fit.
Thus situated milch cows cannot prove
productive, nor render that return to the for
iner which they would do il suitably cared
for during the incIement weather of the wirs
ter and spring. As question Of humanity,
as well as interest, farmers should see to it
that their stock is not allowed to suffer for
want OF attention In This respect.
Wyoming democrat. [volume] (Tunkhannock, Wyoming Co., Pa.) 1867-1940, 1868-01-08

HORSES THAT OvERREAcH.-We commend
the following to horse-shoers generally. 1t
is from the Prairie Farmer, (ChicagO,) and
10 worthy the attention of every blacksmith
who attempts to shoe horses. The reason
given for the method of shoeing recommend
ed to prevent horses from oVerreachiDg, we
consider to be scientifically correct. But we
shall allow Mr. Kimble to be heard in his
own words. He says 81 believe there are
but few blacksmiths that know how to shoe
horses that overreach, and some that do not
seem " illing.to learn. Others think again
that there is no better remedy than making
the shoes shorter, and placing the forward
one on the toe, and the hinder one on the
heel of the horse. They need to understand
that there is better way, and horse owners
should make note of il. a Western eorre-
spondent gives the following rule, which
think is a very good one Make the for
ward shoe long, and the toe-calks short and
standing little under, and set them as far
back as convenient, in order to let the feet
roll over as soon as possible, TO get out, t,of the
way. And in setting the shoes on the hind
feet reverse the order, to keep them back to
give time for the forward feet to get out of
theAway. Make the toe-calks high, and the
half caIks low, to keep the feet back, then he
will travel ike other horses. This may be
remedied in part in the mode Of pairing The
hoof. This is essential in all cases, and
where too many horses have been crippIes.-
Great pains should be taken at all times in
shoeing horses. and l believe not too many of
our biacksmiths fully understand making the
shoe and pairing the hoof.'
