The Tweeus OF Maine.

The republican papers Of Maine rejoice
exceedingly over the conviction and sen
tence Of Tweed, in New York. II is right
that they should, for he has been proven
guilty OF theft and swindling, and thieves
and swindlers should be severely punished.
But it will strike the DISTINGUISHED observer,
and those who have a sense of the fitness
of things, that this rejoicing over the right
ING OF a public wrong in New York
would come with better grace from this
locality if our own escntcheon was not
def;lced with the stain of M acknoWl-
edged and unatonea wrong. The scamps
that Il few years ago gathered about the
capital of Maine, filched from the pockets
Of the people million dollars by what is
known rs the paper credit frauds 1t was
as open and baretaced as any highway
robbery that was ever perpetrated. 1t is
knoWn and acknowledged that high Off
Gals shared the guilt and the plumber and
men are now to be seen daily walking the
streets of Maine cities and towns who
We're enriched by these frauds and are
daily living upon the proceeds. This
money was not taken from the overflow
ing treasury of city like New York, that
| counts lis taxable property by the hun
dreds of millions. 1t was flched from the
hard labor of the rural population, the
| mechanics and the sailors in the small
! towns of Maine 1t was the orphans
penny ana the widows mite. Has the
Republican party, its legislature, Its prose
cutting officers, brought one of these scamp
to Justice? Has it complained of, or in
dicted, OF tried one OF them9 These ar
questions that should be answered, before
some papers can with grace indulge in thu
| talk that their columns show in respec

TO RreaIk n pair of steers.

The first step in my practice was to get the
steers in a small yard, then tinto he stall,
put a rope around the horns, tie them in
the stall. and teach them to stand quietly
when tied. All harshness was avoided.
The next thing was to establish confi-
dence between myself and the steers;
which was done by patting, cnrrying and,
feeding nubbins of corn. Wild steers
would soon learn that they were not going
to be hurt. They were then trained to be
led singly; after which they We're tied to-
gether BY their horns, and were led around
the yard, and along the highway.
until they were as tractable as
a gentle horse. Then a yoke was
put on their necks, and two were al
lowed to run loose for few hours every
day in the yard while wearing the yoke. A
sweep was then made by setting post in
the ground, allowing it to extend two or
three feet above the surface; and the butt
end of the pole, twenty or more feet long,
was placed in horizontal position on the
post, with an iron bolt or crowbar running
through the pole to the top of the post.
The steers were hitched to the small end of
the pole, with hand sled attached and
they were trained to draw the driver on
the sled. After a few lessons on the sweep.
they were prepared to draw light sleigh
to the woods, and bring home small
load of woods. q. Todd at ". Y.

THURSDAY, THE isrH JUNE, 1873,

at o'clock p m If fair, ifnot, the first fair day
thereafter, the above beautiful and attractive
farm called "LABURNUM,n the late residence
of the Hon. James Lyons, one and q quarter
miles north of this city, on the Brook turnpike,
containg I65 ACRES. This property is so well
known that minute description is unnecessary.
The dwelling is supplied with all the comforts
OF a town-house--water, gas, &c and a kitchen
with a range of the best quality.
The land fronts on the turnpike, Hermitage
road, and c.oss-road leading from the turnpike
to the latter road, thus giving II advantages of
subdivision into smaller tracts, plat of which
can be seen at my Office The early completion
of the great Chesapeake and Ohio railroad will
doubtless add to the value of real estate in and
around our city. Recently the Richmond and
Fredericksburg railroad company purchased at
5000 per acre land opposite the Far Grounds
and within mile OF this place, on which they
are now erecting workshops and other buildings,
which gives additional value to the contiguous
property. Lands farther from the city, near
the Deep Run turnpike, and by no means so
eligible, have recently been sold for $1,000 per
mile distant from 'sLABURNUM," cannot be
purchased without buildings for 81. 100 per acres
yet the owner will take VERY MUCH LESS
for this beautiful FARM. which is situated on
the confines of the most elevated and beautiful
suburb of Richmond. 1t is open at all times to
inspection.
For further particulars apply to the auc tioneer.
TERMS:
About $40 600 will be required in cash; as to
the balance of the purchase money, it is believed
that liberal terms can be had, which will be
perfectly healthy, and the water excellent ]

ABUSE OF Cows lessons CREAM

enced dairyman, said: " | have taken
good deal of pains to test the value of my
milk that | have worked into cheese. /
have graduated glasses for the purpose;
and | have found COW, whose inform
percentage of cream was eighteen per cent.
reduced to six in twelve hours--not
from any change of food, but from
little excitement. You, gentlemen,
who make butter, be careful to adopt
my advice, and always treat your cow
kindly and gently; never get her excited,
because every ounce of excitement will
take from her milk one per cent. of cream.
| have known COW abused by brutal
mixer, and the percentage of her cream
went down one-half. 1t is astonishing
what an effect excitement has on the per-
centage Of cream in the milk that cow
produces. Whoever abuses his COW knocks
out of his milk large percentage of the
cream. Report Of Board of agriculture.
