THE AYRsHEBEs AS MILKERs.-.
Howard s. Collins, Of COllinsville,
Conn. furnishes the Practical Farmer
an interesting accounted how he came
70 select the Ayrshines asmflkers. In.
1856. he commenced farming On ~
poor, neglected hillside farm, Of one.
hundred and fifty acrea. that at the
time, supported only six head .Of.
stock. He began BY keepingA dozen
head, selling them in summer, and
steaming food for them Ia winter, and
every year taking up some poor land
10 be thoroughly cleared, manured
and seeded down again. We have
visited his farm, and though beauti-
fully situated, we have rarely seen a.
more unpromising field for testing the
merits Of high farming. There are
few men who havestudted agriculture
more thoroughly than Mr.. Collins, or
who have carried to the task Of reno
waiting, we might almost say creating,
a farm, greater skill, system, energy,
perseverance, and science; and he.
deserves his success. On this farm he
now keeps fifty head Of cattle and
three horses. He has tried the "Na~
tives,t grade Devcns. grade Short
horns, grade AyTshires, and has final
decided that, FOR his purpose ceiling
milk the year round properly select-
ed thoroughbred Ayshires are the.
most profitable COWS for him 70 keep.
We know Mr.. Collins to b 3 very.
careful ana systematic man, keeping
an exact account Of every cow on the.
farm and his statement is entitled to-
great weight

A few days since one Of my horses
was taken lame in the fore lee. He
had been drawing logs out Of the
woods, audit was thought thathe had
sprained his shoulder. This Is q serf-
Gus affair. Nothing but absolute rest

the authorities, j found that YOuatt,
Mayhem, and Mcclure, all agree In
saying that shoulder lameness is Of
very rare occurrence. XOuatt says:

Border Railroad.

Attention is now, very properly, being
directed to this important Railroad. 1t
has been chartered for long time, but
want Of energy and proper apprecia-
ton Of it vast Importance has so far pre-
vented its being put into its proper place.
Now is the proper time to commence.
The capitalists who have taken charge
of the Fort Smith Branch Of the Cairo
and Fulton Railroad, now see the impor-
tance of the "Border Railrod," from
Cassvillc or Springfield and Van Buren,
to Fort Smith. This gives to the road
from Fort Smith on towards California
and the Gulf the full benefit of the road
from st. Louis, and also from Memphis
This is an opportunity not to be over
looked by the keen eyes ofcapital. These
are advantages that money will not hesi-
tate to seize upon and thereby multiply
herself The people Of the border should
arouse at once to full activity, and by
active subscriptions avail themselves Of
all the advantages.

Radical Fairness.

After submitting the constitution of
Virginia to fair vote Of the citizens,
registered by their own tools, the Radl'
Gals, with the Horse President at their
head, now propose to defeat the will of
those citizens by requiring the "iron-
clad oath" This is perfectly consistent
with the programme of that party, as
usually foRoped The vagabond Chief
Executive" as PRENTICE very happily
calls the present occupant of the White
House, has some kith or kin who cannot
live by their wits and must have an Of
hce-and since the good loyal people OF
the /" Old Dominion" do not want them,
why, according to Republican rules, as
laid down by the party of progress, they
must be compelled to take them by re-
curing those who are chosen, to take the
"oath." The President well knows the
persons elected. Many of them, though
competent to hold office under the Con
stitution, cannot, in consequence, take
the "iron clad" Is this robbing the
people of their just power2 ifnot, what
isit? The people are free to choose--hay-
ing chosen, they must come up to the
Radical Procrustian bed or away goes
their heads, or feet This is "progres-
Republicanism ~ Bah! Why should
the people be longer deceived? Why
does not GRANT declare his dominion an
Empire? Why be an autocrat and call
the Government Constitutional Re
public ?"
In Tennessee the people, the loyal peo
pie, declare against the itinerant Execu
tive, and no doubt they must come to the
iron clad, too! SENTER cannot be reach
cd, but the Legislature may be decima
ted and ANDY, fierce old ANDY, be kept
at home. If ANDY becomes a Senator
he may shoot his mouth Off too Often
about that little dd interim Secretary OF
War matter. He may aVude to that un
fortunate correspondence. That CORES
pondencc, that, unfortunately for GRANT
has become part of our country history
but ANDY J, and his policy"
The length and breadth of the infamy
Of ofIequring the iron clad oath" Of thC
elect in Virginia, is difficult to conceive
This tyranny is the worst Of all. 1t is
mocking the people with the shadow o.

THE ARKANSAS L. S MARsuAL.--Two
weeks since we gave detailed account
of the robbery of A. j. Bell, by a man
named McCombs, at Bloomfield, Benton
county, Ark, under prctense of being
Deputy l. S. Marshal and Of enforcing
the revenue laws Of the United States. -
Our last statement left him at CRANKY,
to which place he was pursued by Dcpu
ty Sheriff Musscr, but without success
The last that has been heard Of McCombs
is, that he was in the Cherokee nation,
some ten days since, fleeing from his pur-
suers. McCombs has been Deputy u. 5.
Marshal, but his appointment was re
vOked, June 10, 1869, at the time Of the
sitting Of the L. 5. Circuit Court We
learn that he has since robbed two other
men in the Nation. lie was whisky
seller at Fayetteville. After Mr., Bell
succeeded in getting his freedom and OBJ
tanning his mule, be proceeded to Bloom
field to attempt to get possession Of the
80 gallons of whisky, of which Nc
Combs dispossesscd him. When he ar
rived here, be found that Deputy L. S.
Marshal Fenn0, who lives three miles
from Bloomfield, had been in town, and
stated that be was to have half Of the
spoils. and ordered the sale ofthc liquor,
Subsequently, however, he countermand
ed this order through fear, The United
States Marshal from Van Burcn, finally
came to Bloomfield, and made an inves
tigation of the case, and ordered the Ii.
quor returned to Mr. Bell, who has now
obtained his property, and returned to
his home in Pleasant Hill, Mo, This
man Fcuno, from what we can learn, is
no less rascal than McCombS, and was
undoubtedly in league with him in the
whole transaction. y man who will at.
tempt to levy black mail, on pretensc of
executing law, is about rs mean wretch
as can be found The liberties of men
are 50 dear to them. that they can brook
almost anything, either than to be ar
rested without authority. Such an act
done by one supposed to have authority,
either with Il sham warrant or without
any warrant at all, is extremely culpable.
We regret that our own county officials
have descended to such unwarrantablc
op more than one occasion. McCombs |
will not be able to return To his home
Fcnno ought to have his appointment
annuled, aud to feel the censure of an
outraged public opinion.
