LIVE AND DEAD WEIGHT IN SHEEP.-The
English rule is to weigh sheep when fatted
and divide the weight by seven and call it
quarters Thus, sheep weighing one hun
dred and forty pounds, would give twenty
pounds a quarter the dead weight If the
sheep are In goO0 condition. this rule is suffi-
cient for all purposes. Poor sheep will fall
below the mark, and extra fat ones 90 over

TIE FIRST CAST IRON PLOUGH Some of
the papers have been looking up the records,
for the name of the patentees of the first cast
iron mould boards for ploughs. CORES
pendent of the New York Farmers Club
lately stated that it was to j ethro Wood, of
New York, that the first patent was granted
and that it was about the year 1928 In
contradiction to this a Pennsylvania CORES
pendent states that he cannot now tell the
exact time, but in about the year I79S, pa
tent was granted to Robert Smith, of Bucks
county, Pa, for mould boards of cast iron
and the plows were made by the inventor
and his brother, Joseph Smith. This he be-
lieved was the first of the kind used IN Amer
lea Thomas Jefferson's patent was granted
near the same time Smiths obtained theirs

RESTORING RANCID BUrrER.-When butter
gifts rancid, or what is termed spoiled, it may
be restored to an eatable condition by suitable
manipulation and the application of cleans
ing material. The process Of restoration is
briefly this - To "a pint of water add thir
ty drops (about half teaspoonfuD of liquor
of chloride of lime. Wash in this two and
half pounds of rancid butter. When every
particle of the butter has come in contact
with the water, let it stand an hour or two ;
then wash the butter well in pure water
The butter is then left without any odor, and
has the sweetness of fresh butter. These
preparations of lime have nothing injuriour
in them whatever"

Mr.. Harris, in s'Walks and Talks says

We publish this morning. : protest adj
dressed to Governor Warmoth, by Supervisor
Kershaw, of the Second Ward. No one can
read this clear, calm statement without be-
coming convinced that the conduct Of the
Board of Registration has been dictated by q
fixed determination to violate the Constitu-
ton and the law to the prejudice of the rights
of the people of this State. 1t cannot be said
that the course of Mr.. Kershaw and his col
league, Mr.. Clifford, is Influenced by partisan
considerations, for they are both Republicans;
but, Republicans as they are, they desire to
do their duty, and they are unwilling to lend
themselves to q scheme vhich4s obviously in
tended to nullify the law, and to convert the
machinery of registration into an agency of
fraud and oppression. In the case of the super.
visors of the Second Ward, the conduct of
Registrar Baker has been peculiarly fagi-
tious. In that ward two out of the three SUI
pervisors were disposed to act fairly-that is,
according to law-and had determined to act
in accordance with the law as expounded by
the judicial tribunals in the cases which had
already been decided The orders of the
court were binding in law in the
cases adjudicated, and every good
citizen would take those cases as conclusive
of all involving the same points. Whatever
may have been the opinion of the law enter
tanned by the supervisors or by Baker, they
were bound by the decisions of the courts.
But Baker was resolved that his will should
r.v-s-,l, uuerrIvru undertook ~ got
around the law and the courts, by removing
the supervisors to whom the judicial orders
were addressed, thus making it necessary to
commence proceedings again with his new
appointees obstructing the process of regis
tration, and depriving hundreds of citizens
Of their rights. In order to carry out this
design in the Second Ward he seized on the
registration Office, and removed the books and
papers. So insolent and audacious viola
ton of law, justice and right was never before
witnessed even in this community, the scene
of SO many acts of official lawlessness ; and
1t is peculiarly fagitious on the part of an off,
Ger whose especial duty it is to protect one of
the most sacred rights of the citizen. Will
not Gov. Warmoth listen to the voice of rea-
son and justice-the voice of the people, and
remove this man from the position which he
disgraces and abuses

A gentleman in Tigerville, Terrebonne
parish, has been good enough to furnish US
with some of the particulars of the various
murders in Terrebonne, chronicled in that in
teresting and highly imaginative work known
as the report of the committee son the con-
dition of peace and order in the State" 1t
appears that recently in that parish an old
gentleman, thorough Democrat, had his
house burnt to the ground by incendiaries.
No mention of this is made in the report.
There have been in the parish two murders of
white men, both Democrats, and attempts to
murder three other white men, Democrats.
Of.this the report is silent, merely, in some
instances, giving the names The colored
man Welburn, murdered, was a thorough
Democrat, and we notice the report does not
offer to tell of his case in full as it does of
some others. Our correspondent thus closes
his letter: 81, s+-s ..s0 Fl. f..f ~

DIRECT FOR LIvERP0OL.-The hermophrodte
brig Sailor Boy, of Sheboygan, has arrived at this
port, and will he fitted out by her owner, L. B..
Lyman, ESQ.,, of Sheboygan, for trip over the
Atlantic. Lewis j. Highly, of Milwaukee, will
ship a'cargo Of wheat by this vessel direct to Liv
erpool, England. The brig, which is 2S4 tons
buIthen, and rates as b /, need not undergo any
alteration, except in her rigging, her size permit
ting her to 90 through the Welland Canal with
out being shortened. She will sail within eight
days. tns
We take the above from the Evening Wis
consin. We rather like the Milwaukee assu-
rance that says SO modestly that this brig
goes direct with grain (wheat) to Liverpool
Yes, she does, but not from Milwaukee. We
aIe assured by Mr.. Highly that this YES
sci was chartered by him to take a
load of grain from Milwaukee for Nom
treal on New York, and then to come at
once to New Orleans to take cargo Of grain
from here to Liverpool. We would also state
that the Mr.. Highly referred to is not at Mil
waukee, but at our own Crescent City. Like
Cortez, he has burned his ships behind him,
and having sold his elevators and his dwelling
house there, has moved his family and effects,
and taken up his lot with u.s. We gladly well
come him and his, and assure the Milwau-
keeans that what is their loss we know to be
our gain. ss t rst 81 -ag

Our editorial sanctum received CLEAN of

Mobile, who is now on short visit to our
city. Were il not that the gentleman who
has honored us with a visit is SO well known

him as one of our youthful friends. Though
our friend Mr.. Jones is one of the criers of
Mobile we are satisfied that his departure
from our midst will cause many tears TO be
shed particularly, as it win soon be our mis-
fortune to lose the presence ofhi daughter and
her respected husband, who are about leaving
us to make New York their future home.
We did not intend, when first penning these
few lines to allude to the latter subject, for
we had hoped that something would turn up
to prevent their departure, but we fear their

The Legislature Of Alabama have passed
q registration and election bill, and have adj
journed to meet on the day preceding the
presidential election. We presume, there
fore, that the Radical officials intend to make
the country believe, if possible, that they are
acting fairly. But everybody knows that they
really intend to cheat if they can. They re-
fused to pass these necessary bills at their
regular session, and even attempted to usurp
the choice of electors, out Of the hands Of the
people. This showed their design They will
attempt, yet, to defraud Alabama of her vote,
and it is for this object that they reassemble
on the I'd of November They have delayed
30 long making legislative provision for the
election that they hope to defeat registration,
and thus have pretext for casting the elect
oral vote. We presume that our friends in
Alabama know how to thwart this scheme.
We hope that they will lose no time in regist-
ering-and that they will be sure that the
white people are registered in any event. If
there is to be only half of registration, let
the party suffer by it who adopted the expe-
dent The State can be carried for Seymour
on any sort of registration; but care should
be taken that the Legislature do not compi-
cate matters by choosing Grant electors. This
