singing it again, with becoming gravity, to
some very solemn words, in the church we

CUSTONHOUsE ABUSES,

The majority Of the United States

THE REVISION OF THE UNITED STATES
STETISTICS.

This work of great importance to the
country is now being rapidly prosecuted
by the commissioners appointed for that
purpose. The revisers have divided their
work under twentv-six heads Or titles, by
which every separate subject or title is
readily comprehended by any person of
ordinary understanding. The object OF
this work would seem to he to simplify the
laws of the United States, so that the
masses of the people may, if they choose,
require knowledge in regard to the or
anization and administration of the gov
eument under which they live, and be-
cue conversant with any and all the

tecon of person and property.

foreign trade Of the United States, for the
better development Of that branch of our
industrial enterprises This is not mat

Justify himself in these agricultural re-
gions for his neglect Of business that ap-
pertains to his own constituents while he
IS nursing and promoting matter that is
as foreign to Louisiana as is the
cod fisheries of Newfoundland. We
build no iron steamships, nor do We pro-
pose to engage in any such enterprise,
but We do ask for better postal arrange
ments; We do ask for aid to the levees:
we do solicit some share of liberality in
the appropriations to our rivers and har-
bors, and we 60 crave greater activity in
carrying forward the sovernmenfbu1ldings
that ought to lie constructed in New Or
leans The people of Louisiana are not
suffering for iron steamships to that ex-
tent that they are willing to tax them
selves first and last for their construc-

other and more pressing demands upon
the common treasury. Delaware and her
shipyards are represented by delegation
of Senators and Representatives that
ought to be able to take care of their own
local interests, and We beg that they will
do SO in order that our agents in Con-

WORMS IN HoRsEs.-1ntestina worms
are parasites which devevop themselves in
all the domestic animals, each, however,
possessing its own varieties. The presence
of worms in the digestive tube is marked
at first by an increased appetite, but the
animal, Notwithstanding the quantity OF
food which he consumes, falls off in con-
dition his coat is rough, and is not shed
at the ordinary time; there is an annoy
ing itching, which causes the horse to rub
his upper lip against the manger or on
the wall sometimes there Is considerable
itching about the rectum, which is indlcat-
ed by the horses rubbing his tail or rump
against anything within reach. The symp-
toms mentioned are such as would cause
one to suspect the. existence of worms, but
it is only when these appear among the
dung voided by the horse, that we can
speak with certainty on the nature OF
the disease. At later period and espec-
tally when the worms have developed in
great numbers, the symptoms are very
much aggravated, and the horse becomes
emanciated and suffers occasionally from
collicky pains the flank is tucked up
the inside 81 the eyelids is pale /; he walks
with difficulty, and fatal termination
will soon ensue. A dose of aloes flour to
six drachms) may be given, which has
often the effect Of expelhng worms without
having recourse to further treatment. II
this fails, divide six ounces of iron filings
among twelve balls, and give one every
morning until they are finished, and then
give dose of aloes, which will cause the
EXPULSION of any worms which remain IN
the horses intestines. -CanGda Farmer

THRUSH IN HORSES FooT.-The oc-
currence of thrush in the stable is not

ting deep into it. Dress over the cleansed
surface every morning for four or five days
with calomel, taking care that the powder
gets well into the cracks and wherever the
swelling discharge issues. If the horse
goes to work or the feet are extensively
diseased, the frog and sole had better be
kept dry and clean by slipping leather
soc under the shoe, and packing between
1t and the foot little tow soaked IN tai
oil. As the foot requires to be cleaned
and dressed daily, the leather sole must
not be nailed on permanenrly.-NorH

CALIFORNIA GRAss.-The San Francisco
Bulletin says that alfalfa, the new grass
discovered in California, in regard to
which so much has been written, is moth
ing but the lucerne grass, we'll known in
the Atlantic States. Still, it is great
thing for California, as it is the only grass
well adapted for dairy purposes which
will live through the six months of dry
weather, and is very productive. The
Bulletin says that ten acres sown to
alfalfa will produce more forage than one
hundred acres of ordinary pasture. The
editor has seen patches this year which
has been cut twice, the yield each time
being very large, and three more crops
are expected from the same land. This
grass sends its roots down to moisture,
lives and grows during the dryest season,
provided it once gets a good start, and
when the land is rich and well titled the
Weld is wonderful.

HILLINa CoRN.--Whether it is scien-
tifc or not to hill corn it matters little.
Is it beneficial? That is the question.
Does the amount of extra labor to hill,
pay2 The only advantage it can have at
the late period of working, " when the
crop is made" is to prop the stalks
Does it do this? We will venture to say,
not perceptibly or scarcely that. The
storm pressing, the little earth crowded
upon-and where the pressure is the
greatest-and being moist withal from
the rain, is of little consequence. We
have never seen any difference, and we
have observed it frequently, for it was
made matter Of dispute here. 1t is
even said by some, who are intelligent
and who being interested have observed
it. that dead level keeps the corn the
straightest. 1t certainly keeps the pres
sure on the outer roots, if weight of the
ground has anything to do to hold them.
We have concluded long since that there
is no beni6t in throwing up the earth
against the hills of corn to steady them,
and that it is labor Idone in vain, and
therefore loss. F. C. in Country Cen

Of a number of salmon, two or three hun
