An Irishman's Letter.

The following characteristic letter, written by
Hibernan of six years experience of Amcri-
can institutions, was submitted to a reporter of
the New York Sun:
New YORK, Jan. ii, 1868.
My dear Mary, the darlint of my heart and
sOwl, | am WELL but had the fever and agcr
and hope you are in the same condition, thanks
be to God. wish you many happy New Years,
and the children and hope you will have three
score and ten of them. We had Christmas
here, but the haytlens don't keep it like We
used to do at home Devil resave the one iver
said to me- many happy christmas, or any other
pOllteneSs. They tell me that the nagar is GO
ing to be white man in future, and that the
white nagurS in Congress Ia big white house
in Washington are going to try the President
for being white man.
If they find him guilty, and there's no doubt
about 1t, for they are accusers, witnesses, law
yers, judges, all in Oue they re to execute the
Executive, make fellow called Codfacts Pres
ident, and remove the state Of government to a
place called Boshton, celebrated for its Repub-
licans and sinners. Thin is the same as the
ridiculous follows they called ridicules-nO,
Notwithstanding your presence. They want to
continue their own pOwcr-GOd bctune Us and
all harm. They say the SOutherners must go
down on their knees to them. They forgot
that the poor dlvlls are flat on their backs al
ready, and they re name set to KICK man
when he's down Be jabers, it makes me
blood bile to think Of it, and that the reason
m running over on this paper. One war is no
sooner over than they commence the beginning
of another in Washington, and God only knows
where or whiq it may end | lost one fine leg
in the last, but [ have another left for good
cause, and I'll fight for johnson, for | here
his great grandmother by his forefather's side
was an lrishman
We have snow and frost here now, and it is
likely we will have more weather. The tenn
perance men-GOd save the mark-in place
called Albany, where the people send Repre-
sentatives to chate them, have stopped our
grog only by daylight
| essDivil a much matter any ways, for they don't
keep drop of dacent drink in the country
no rale old Irish potheen, tumbler of which
would charm the heart of wheelbarrow, or
make shovel dance-nothing at all but stuff
that would kill pig if he had to live on it,
much less a Christian baste.
Remember me to Jim, tell him he's well,
and ak him how | am. I'm sorry to hear of
the death Of the bull, and hope you re likewise.
! Her milk is loss Tell Taddy McFinn if he
comes here he see more of America in one
day than if he d staid at home all his life. I'm
glad his wife got over the twins, and hope
she'll be better-next time. | like this country,
there's no place equal to Ould Ireland, where
you d get as much whiskey for shilling as would
make tay for six people. If you don't get this,
write soOn may be dead, for life is uncertain
under the Radicals but dead or alive I'll an

How BONNER's HORSES ARE SHoD.-The
proper shOeing Of horses is a matter of great
importance in all cases but in those of del
icate- hOofed highblooded trOtters, it becomes
a vital question both for speed and comfort.
Mr.. Bonner is so particular about the manner
in which his horses are shod, that he always
superintends the operation himself, remaining
in the shop during the fitting and mailing of the
shoe, both Of which details he not only directs,
but even assists in personally.
As the perfect fatness of the shoe is neces-
sary to even and comfortable stepping, Mr..
Bonner has procured a smooth and fiat block
of marble, upon whose surface he places every
shoe before it is nailed to the horse hOOf, and
if the iron does not lie plump on the stone, it
is hammered and filed until thoroughly level
surface is obtained He has also theory
about fastening a shoe. He makes a smith
hammer the nails alternately on each side,
stroke for stroke, nail for nail, left and right,
so that the tightening of the shoe to the hoof
is gradual and equal on both Sides He also
has the shanks of the shoe stretched very
little wider than thehoof; and by this system of
driving the nails, the foot is brought out to
the shoe, and the frog and heel are expanded
in the operation. The result is highly condu-
Give to the sOundness and toughness of the hOOf
and the freedom and firmness of step in the
animal.

A ToCGH YARN.-There is place in Maine
so rocky that when the natives plant corn they
look for crevices in the rocks, and shoot the
grains in with a musket they can't raise ducks
there no how, for the stones are so thick that
the ducks can't get their bills between them to
pick out the grasshoppers, and the only. way
the sheep can get at the sprigs of grass is ~
grinding their noses on a grindstone.
But this amt circumstance to place in
