OBITUAR Y.
Rev. Thomas HI. stockton, ID. ID.

Another of the nations wortnies has gone.
The Rev Thomas Hewlings Stockton, d. D.,
died last evening at his residence in this
city, in the sixtieth year of his age The
deceased in early manhood was ordained
minister in the Methodist Church. and
is ranked as one of the founders and
most constant promoters of the Methodist
Protestant branch of that denomination. Asa
pulpit orator he had earned a richly merited
reputation-his manner was lofty, graceful, i'm.
pressive- his sentences eloquent his ideas
original and forcible. For three terms he filed
the position of Chaplain to the House
OF Representatives at Washington. His
learning was extensive and profound. He
afforded most happy instance of a man of
rounded education. In addition TO his labors In
the pulpit he was editor of the Christian World.
of the Bible Times, of volume of poems of
many published sermons, of a valuable and es-
teemed edition of the Holy Bible, and of hume
rous other works which have acquired position
in the literary world.
For number of years past he had been at the
head of an Independent Church, and lifted his
voice and welded his pen in q manly battle
against all forms of narrow sectarianlsm, and
for the saving, al-embracing free prlnci-
ciples of true religion. He was one of
the purest and most charitable OF Christians, an
original abolitionist, a firm supporter OF lay
representation in other churches, and steady
opponent of all social organizations not open
and general in their operations. For
some time he had been in feeble
health, In consequence OF which he was obliged
TO some extent To reinquish the arduous duties
OF his profession. Though weak In BODY ne
was powerful in mind, the strength OF the latter
so far conquer1ng the weakness OF the former
that ne frequently was enabled 10 preach when,
TO Judge from his bearing, he could hardly sus'
tain himself erect. In personal appearance he
strongly resembled Henry Clay and was Chap-
lain ia Congress during the time that that dis
tineuished statesman was there as q MEMBER.
During the war DR.. Stockton was stauncn
Union n au friend and admirer of Abraham
Lincoln and was on the most intimate terms
with that martyTed President and the patriotic
statesmen who figured during that trouoious
period
He will long be remembered by those who
knew him. and as In his life so also In MS deatn
he afforded an example To his fellow-men well
worthy of imitation.

REPUBLICAN, JOURNAL printed in Maryland
truly says that Demonstration should be
based upon, but not formed out of, the ruins
of the Rebellion" The radical difference be
tween the conflicting methods of adjusting the
issues growing out of the war is expressed in
this single sentence. The Democracy support
system which is designed to enable unrepen-
tant Rebels not only to govern themselves aud
to oppress their loyal fellow citizens, but to
acquire controlling influence in the national
councils. Treason is the best passport to dis
tinction and power under the ruling of the
New York Convention, and Democratic recon-
struction would result in restoring to the
leaders of the Confederacy even greater in
1uence than they enjoyed while they were
wagipg war against their country. Republican
reconstruction will ensure the maintenance of
liberty and justice in all portions of the coun-
try, and compel even the Hamptons and For
rests of Democracy to respect loyalty and law.

AFTER THE GUILTY.-The Union League has
promptly offered large rewards for the appre-
hension and conviction Of any Of that nume-
rous class Of Democratic enthusiasts who are
bent upon resorting to the "little game" Of
ballot-box stufiing on Tuesday next. This
includes the importation of reckless and des
perate characters from nsighboriDg cities, the
use of fraudulent naturalization certificates,
and the general attempt to oounteract the
votes Of honest citizens by the ballots Of per-
sons who are not residents of the city or not
qualified under the law to exercise the elective
franchise. The Democratic cause is utterly
hopeless, if fair and honest means alone
are resorted to in the attempt to
bolster it up. This fact is as fully
appreciated by the Democratic leaders
as by anybody else, and therefore they are
bringing every available trick and device to
bear upon the issue, determined to gain by
foul means what is impossible of achievement
in fair and open manner. The legal voters
of the city should be on guard early and late
on the day of the election, and whenever any
one of these scoundrels, whether imported
from abroad or creeping out Of his den here at
home, attempts to pollute the ballot-box with
a Rebel ticket, he should be taken into GUS
tody and dealt with as the law directs. The
liberal rewards offered by the Union League
will tend to increase the vigilance and activity
of our voters in this matter.

HOWELL COBB is dead, and his personal
friends and relatives doubtless have good
cause for grief thereat. No matter how scan
dalous may be the public life of man, there
is almost always little circle in which his loss
will be seriously felt and legitimately
mourned. But when the New York CORES
pondent of the Public Ledger expresses, as he
does in his letter in to o.day's issue, "a genera
feeling of regret" because of the death of such
a high-handed traitor as Howell Cobb, Wa
think he misinterprets the sentiments of the
loyal North. Upon this man the
highest honors within the gift of the
people were bestowed during pc
riod extending through twenty years. And
yet he did not hesitate to strike at the life o f
the Government which had so greatly honored
him. This act was an act of the grossest
intamy. If Howell Cobb had shown the
slightest symptom of regret for his course, if
he had even accepted the result of the appeal
to arms, there would have been redeeming
feature in the late late years of his
career. But such, unhappily, was not
the case, and Howell Cobb died as he
had lived-a traitor to his country, and
without the regret of the people whose dearest
liberties and richest blessings he SO wantonly
sssailed. We cannot find words more fitting
to be applied to him and others like him than
those which he himself recently hurled at the
Union men of the SOUTH
80 Heaven for some blisterlng words, that
l may write tnfamy upon The forehef ds o
these men. that they NAV travel through earth
despised Of all men, rejected Of Heaven, and
scoTned by the evil himself"

TAKE CARE OF THE HoRsEs.-Hay and oats
make the best feed for horses that are obliged
to work hard aud regularly. If the hay is
cut fine and oats bruised or GROUND, the whole
mixed and moistened, the horse will eat his
ratIons quicker, digest them sooner, and thus
have more time for resting and renewing his
powers for labor. Farmers horses that work
little during winter time, may be kept cheap
er by cutting and mixing bright straw and
hay in equal quantities, and adding ration
Ofsteamed potatoes or raw carrots, Colts
should be fed literally on good hay-bright
clover is best and bruised oats give them a
roomy box stall in stormy weather and dur.
ing nights. Litter freely and let the manure
accumulate under them. Sawdust or spent
tan make good and con venient bedding in
cities and villages they are often cheaper than
straw. Groom horses well and let them
have exercise every day a run in the yard
is excellent. See that stable floors over base
ments are sound and strong. Arrange the
feeding-racks so that dust and hay seed will
not fall into horses names or eyes; some
horsemen build their managers too high, thus
forcing the animal to take an unnatural and
painful position when eating. Farm horses
that are not worked should have their shoes
taken of, and those that are drivAn the
road should be kept well shod.-Rurdl Nelo
Yorker.

IMPROVEMENT I'M GRAIN.

Experiments have demonstrated, and an
alogy has shown that the finest and best
samples of seed, continued for years, will i'm
prove the quality and quantity of the pros
duct. A better wheat is thus raised even a
variety may be established. On this princ-
pie, (in farm stock }, we have the Shorthorns,
the bIooded horses and the different breeds
of sheep, swine, poultry, etc. Experiments
have not been made on the human species :;
but the same, no doubt, holds good here.
We plant and SOW las it comes" We take
the seed of the same grain that we use in ag
gregate, and SOW it, Is not this the case al
most universally? Corn is an exception to
some extent-but why do we except corn Q
Because it is handy to select. But why Sc
lect at all 2 Because it is unders TODD to be
good. Analogically, then it is good to do the
same with wheat, oats, barley, etc. But this
is less easily done we therefore neglect it.
How long will it take a farmer to go through
his wheat, and secure the ripest and finest
heads sufficient to SOW an acre, or a quarter
- or even a pint Of seed ?-This pint sowed
will be sufficient to form test crop. The
best heads taken from this again, and sowed
will yield another test crop, from which
should be taken as before and so on for
number of years, say half q dozen, more still
better. But three or four years will work
decided difference. But the thing should be
continued from selected wheat every time
In this way grain can be improved and crops
enlarged. There will be larger grains, earlier
maturity, and better growth.-RuraI World.

GETTING WET.-When person is wet he
ought never to stand, but to continue in mo-
tion till he arrives at place where be
may be suitably accommodated. Here he
should strip off his wet clothes, to be chang
ed for such as are dry, and have those parts
of his body which have been wetted, we'll
rubbed with dry cloth. The legs, shoul>
ders and arms are generally the parts most
exposed to wet; they should, therefore, be
particularly attended TO. 1t is almost in.
credible how many diseases may be prev entsd
by adopting this course.

HINTS TO FARMERs.-A writer gives the
the following advice to farmers which we full
ly endorse
Don't buy piano for your daughters, while
your sons reed plow.
Don't let your horse be seen standing
much at the tavern door. It don't look
right.
Don't give the merchant chance to dun
you. Prompt payment makes independent
men.
Keep good fences, especially line fences 8
they promote good feelings between neigh
bors.
A decent, substantial clothing for your
children, makes them think better of them
selves, and keeps the doctor away.
Don't starve your lard, if you do, you will
grow lean.
Don't buy patent rights to sell again.
Don't become surety for him who waits
for the sheriff.
Buy farm wagon before q fine car
riage.
If you have yoke of oxen, don't be asham-
ed of them and give your note for a span of
horses.
Keep your sons away from horse races .
they are the highway to ruin.
Don't run for constable, you may get il,
and let the plow stand.
Teach your boys to look up and forward,
never down or backwards.
Don't leave to memory what should be
written, 10 usakes laweuits.
When the labors of the day are past, let
good books and newspapers invite the young
sters to the sitting room.
