SMALL HORSES. The Southern Far
mer says: "The arguments may all be
IN favor of great size, but the facts are
all the other way. Large horses are
more liable to be lame and stumble,
than those of the middle size. They
are clumsy, and cannot fill themselves
so quick; there is nothing more sSr-
prising to western men than to visit
Montreal, and to see the small, but
stout, Canadian horses, hauling large,
two-seated carriages, full of people,
with apparent ease. A horse weighing
900, in Maine, takes a chaise or Concord
wagon, with two men in it, and makes
fifty or sixty miles a day, over hills that
might have terrified Hannibal But
their weight is where it ought to be- It
is compact, and not lying around loose.
1t is muscle, and not pulp, that we want
in a horse" e.

JOHANN STRAUSS, the famous COM

note to the Mason & HA8nN Organ

struments of the class in this country or

PmEs.-In cases of Piles. DIR. Trask's
Magnetic Ointment acts like a charm. affording
immediate and positive relief by one appica
tion. We know of persons who can get relief
from no other source, and who place an ex-
travagant value on the ointment on this ac-
count alone, when it is equally valuable for
many other uses.

= The Growing Crops.

y The late intelligence concerning the
crops is encouraging. Our exchanges,
on the whole, are iubilant. In Wiscon-
sin we note that ''since the last rain
crops look we'll" In Michigan ''the
wheat is nearly all bladed out, and with
favorable weather the 10th of July VIII
commence the harvesting of as good n
crop of wheat as has ever been produ-
ced in Michigan" In Ohio and Western
Virginia ''the weather has been very
propitious for the growing crops, and
every thing looks favorable to a full
average of the cereals" In North Car
olina the trouble appears to be the scar
city of labor, ''the consequence of which
is that both negro and planter are de-
moralized" cotton on. the brain is
developing seriously in this state too.
In Georgia and Alabama the crops have
been somewhat damaged by the contin-
ued rains for the last fortnight, but, as
rule, the crops are looking well. In
South Carolina the present condition of
the cotton crop is unsatisfactory. In
Louisiane, unless clear weather comes.
the cotton and grass crops must be ru-
ined. In the west the genial nature of
the soil and the beautiful weather of
late have about prepared the wheat
crop for the harvest, and indeed in some
places the harvest has already begun,
reaping having commenced in Randolph
county, Illinois, and will soon begin in
Madison and ST. Clair counties, Illinois,
and in st. Genevieve county in Missouri,
where the yield to the acre is expected
to equal 80 bushels. Reports from Tex
as complain of excessive rain, but in
Collin and Dallas counties harvesting
has commenced. The Galveston News
says everywhere the spring has been
late, and the cold weather has made the
crops nearly a month more backward
excessive rains during the past few
weeks, rendering it difficult to harvest
wheat, and causing the grass in the fields
to grow beyond the means of most farm
ers to keep it down, so that corn and
cotton are suffering greatly from that
cause The money article of the same
journal says the crop accounts from the
interior grow worse with every hour,
and in all branches of business unusual
caution is being manifested in the extern
sion of credits. From all the New Eng
land States, reports come of the excel
lent prospect for very bountiful crop
of hay this season. The Bangor Demo-
crat says that never before has there
been a better prospect, and that every
indication is given that there win be the
largest crop of hay cut and cured that
has ever been ha@ested in the State of
Maine. The Rhode Island, New Jersey,
and the papers of the north and north
western portions of our own State, also
report satisfactorily ON the coming har-
vest. On Long Island the crops are
suffering from drought.-N. Y. Express.

Endemann Process ofPregerving Meat.

According to DIR. Endemann, an
excellent method of preserving meat
consists in cutting it into thin slices.
and drying it in current of warm air
not exceeding 140 degrees F. The
operation should be completed in three
or four hours, in which case the pro-
duct is hard, and may be easily ground
up in mill, whenG is in a condition
fit for use The fibrane and albumen

are still able to take up water, and thus

ounces are to be boiled, with the usual
