SAT- AND AsHEs FOR HORSES
Those keeping horses should, twice a
week, throw IN o handful of salt and
ashes. Horses relish this, and it will
keep their hair short and fine. It will
prevent bots. collie, etc. A little ground
sulphur, mixed with salt and ashes, and
given once 10 two or three weeks, is also
beneficial. All domestic animals will
be thus benefited.

The success Of this Southern Company is
therefore ahead of any 10 in existence, and
it's rapid progress has placed it in the front
rank ef Life Insurance Companies.
IL tie above good Companies have succeed
ed on so much acorss start is il not absurd to
doubt the greater and more certain success
Of the Piedmont and Arlington on so much
better start ?

QUIET IN NORTH cARoLINA.

RALEIGH, March 81.
The insurrection in Alamance is overrated
and affairs are quiet. The people here are
astonished at the reports in Northern papers
about it. The report Of another negro being
hung here is groundless. There is no resis-
tance to law in any county in the State and has
not been. Persons accused Of crime have
been arrested, when discovered, without
trouble, and there has been no attempt at res
cue. The statement that disguised men visit
ed the postmaster at ''the Company's Shops
is untrue. Some negroes who, in disguise,
whipped other negroes in Alamance, have
been arrested and are now oil in Jail. The mur-
derers of Outlaw have not been discovered,
but should they be there will be no more diff
Guilty in arresting them than there was In ar
resting the alleged Ku-Klux in Lenoir last
year. Spies and detectives are understood to
be in various counties, but have made no dis
coveries OF conspiracy or instructions.

wrote you about the cold snap before and
up to the 2lst OF February, when our ther-
mometer stood OF IA degrees, and others In
our neighborhood at IL degrees. Therein |
expressed hope. from appearances on that
day, that we should have better weather for
the preparation of our farms, which had been
very untavorable before; but We whoopcd be-
fore we got out of The woods. That day was
clear On Tuesday morning, I'D, thermome,
ter 20 degrees, hazy; by night thick and
cloudy. At 10 P. NJ. commenced showing, and
in the morning, on going out early, we found
the snow to be rather above, than at, five
inches. Our friends OF the Intelligencer must
have slept late to find the snow only three or
four inches at Anderson; but 1t was deeper at
Walhalla than at Pendleton, and our being
north of Anderson accounts for the difference
In depth. From the 22d to this date the
weather has been unsettled, and from rains and
freezes but little ploughing has been done.
The range Of thermometer, where noticed, is
as follows: February 23d, &c degrees; oath, 29
degrees; 25th. 28 degrees, with rain and nigh
winds. Up to March Sd, 30 degrees; 4th, 30

oats have been destroyed in the sprout by the
recent freezes. Preparations for planting very
backward, and as we could not afford to feed
our cattle on cotton, cow food was never
known to be as scarce. All stone fruit must
undoubtedly be killed. Gardens unusually
