HORSES USEFUL AND HORSES THAT SPOIL
YOUNG PEoPLE.-ln discussion before the
New York State Agricultural Society the
following remarks were elected on the sub
ject of draught horses:
"Wherc, as in many portions Of Europe,
the plow can be at work in every month Of
the year, the heavy draught horse finds
constant employment; but here, ii IL sug-
gested that our long winter is 8 great bar
to the keeping Of special class OF teams,
end that what ne coll the horse Of all work
is the class requiring special encourage
ment. Farmers who will use mares can
raise one or two colts of this kind-large,
active horses of about sixteen hands, for
which there is always a great demand
every year by proper care III selecting q
stallion Of good size and temper end the
requisite bone and muscle, and If he be o
thoroughbred SO much the better. But
weedy thoroughbred and the little troi-
ting horses go popular of late, ere likely
to lead to the loss OF mouey as well as the
spelling Of sons.''

On Saturday last, as William Stuart, Of

On Saturday last, as William Stuart, Of
Greene county, New York, was driving
along the east side Of the Catskill noun
tains in a sleigh, his horse made sheer,
when horse, sleigh, and driver, plunged
over the side of the road, down on the
rocks, sixty feet below. The injured man
was not discovered until Monday, having
remained ell alone in dying condition
two days and two nights. He was still
alive on Tuesday, but cannot survive.
The Chicago Tribune recalls an incident
connected with the murder of DR.. Webster by
Parkman never before made public. Park
man took poison soon after the murder, and
when he was apparently dying, he whispered
to the attendant physician confessing his
crime. The physician died before the trial,
however, and none but his wife knew Of tho
secret in his keeping.

Dispatch to the Philadelphia Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, February 23.-An inter
view took place this morning at General
Grants headquarters between the Presi-
dent elect and some gentlemen from New
York interested in the banking institutions
Of that city. In the course Of the CONVEX
sstion one of the gentlemen remarked that
the PEOPLE looked forward to an economical
administration Of the Government during
the time to come. In reply, General Grant
said " 1t is my desire that the affairs Of
the country should be conducted as econo-
mcally as possible, and shall try to have
i, co." Here the General hesitated for
moment, and then continued as follows
1--WE oil know what the tenure-of- Office Law
was enacted for. Il was passed to prevent
An Executive from using the Office at his dis
posal for corrupt purposes, but from what
they did lin Congress yesterday lam disposed
TO think that the Senate will desire to be
the judges as to Whist shall do" Another
pause. Well, If they do not repeal the
law certainly cannot make any changes.
] cannot remove man without making
charges OF character which would blast
his reputation, and that would not be very
agreeable, you know; and the result will
be that the men who hold office now will
continue TO hold them until the end of the
term, no matter what my desires may be.
OF course this will save me all this office
hunting boring" A gentleman, interrupt
ing: "Thst will be very agreeable, no
doubt" General Grant, continuing: eyes;
but have no doubt that there are in Office
those who should be removed from the
Offices which they now hold. If it is the
wish TO economic, however, the Senate
evidently desires to be the judge of my
actions, and | shall have to be the judge of
theirs" A gentleman: "That will throw
the responsibility on them" Grant con-
tinucd: 81 don't know; at any rate, l
shall do the best l cam" Visitors were
announced, and the interview ended. The
remarks Of the President were delivered
with pleasant, smiling manner, but with
evident forethought.
