MILL. LUMBER, AND IRON NOTES.

Numbering progresses favorably at East sagd-
nav, though somewhat imEcded by the horse
disease. 1hers is snow enough to make good
sHdding, and there are plenty of men. Opera

trouble has been experienced because not enough
supplies have been got into the camps, owing to
tho early close Of navigation.
The Huron Log Booming Company. has
closed its operations for the year. Its business
aggregated loo, 900, 900 feet excess Of 40 o0o-
600 over the business Of last year. The estl-
mates put the quantity OF logs still back IN the
Cass River at a, 600 900 feet, so that the total
cut in that river did not fall short Of 150 000 600
feet At 3 Directors meeting it was decided to
allow rebate Of II cents per 200 feet from the
contract rates for the seaaon.
Tho Marquette Journal conIadicts the state

adopted depudiating the Baltimore nomi-

the city virtue had become jest; policy
the best honesty deeency lost art a
mighty movement against the Ring led
people to believe that it had been crushed
1t still had vitality. The scheme for the
nomination of Greeley originated in Tam
many Hall. Tammany men predicted the
nomination of Greeley with an air of dead
certainty. They knew it, and documents
can be produced to prove it. Here it is in
q nut shell-Tammany Hall, the Senate
Cabal, and Frank Blair. Out of this trini-
ty came Greeley, with easy parturition.
General Hillyer spoke of the temptation
offered to Grant during the war, when bus
iness was languishing for want of cotton,
and letters had come to him, earnestly adj
vocating getting out the $50, ,O0O, 900 locked
up in the Southern States; but he had re-
fused to trade with and fight the enemy at
the same time. He challenged any man to
produce evidence of corruption in Grants
headquarters during the war.

German War Preparations.

The New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette under date of 5th inst,
says:
The last received number of the Borsen
Zeittt1lg has the following indicative of the
preparations for a new war in Germany ::
The Notifications of Whilhelmshaven will
soon be considerably enlarged, and the
German government has also been consid
ering the necessity of erecting works of de-
fense at Cuxhaven and the island of Neu-
werk for the protection of the mouth fthe
EIbe. The memorandum Oh the coast de-
fenses prepared by the German admiralty
proposes to strengthen the works OH the
island by number of floating batteries,
some of which would probably be covered
with iron plates, as their cost is estimated
at five million thalers. The batteries on
the eastern and northern sides of Will
helmshaven are to be completed this year.
The works at Kiel are also advancing to-
ward completion. Fort Braunsberg will
shortly be completed, and the fortress of
Frederichsort. which will not be ready un
til next year, is being constructed on such
an extensive scale that fifty guns of the
heaviest caliber have been ordered for it.
1t is estimated these defenses will cost five
million five hundred thousand thalers.

To Treat Balky Horses.

Permit me to give you my method of
handling balky horses, which is not as Sc
we're as some remedies which / have no.
ticed in the Rural NetU- Yorker, but, /
doubt not, more effectual It is not natu-
raj for the horse to balk his driver teaches
it to him by iIl-usage and overtaxing his
strength. Spirited and nervous horses are
generally the ones whose education is thus
spoiled. Now, harness him beside stur-
dy, true one see that his harness fits well,
so as not to chafe and gall him; drive quiet
Iy and kindly. Load SO that your good
horse can.start the load, When you see he
is going to stop, do it yourself; let them
stand a few moments, and start again.
Keep quiet and calm. Practice him a short
time, gradually increase your load, and un-
der no circumstances whip nor kick nor
speak loud nor swear at him for swearing
is abominable to well-bred horses. Always
be kind and calm. Speak gently and caress
and pet him when you are handling him
and in short time he will reward you by
drawing true and well, and appear to take
pleasure to do what you require of him.
Let the same person if possible, handle him
until cured of the habit. Such horses inva-
riably require kind treatment.
