'gruc Theory Tor Esnising Troiiina
Horses.

Experience has shown that the best trot-
ting action, and the fastest trotting horses
are produced by the crossing of Black
Hawk sire with dams of messenger blood.
As an instance-Ethan Allen from Black
Hawk sire and messenger dam (when nine
tecn) beat the great Dexter in 2-l5, with
running mate, and could have beat 2-l0
single, if it were not for injuries received
from repeated poisonings. In his younger
days he trottcd in private II half mile on the
ice in one minnie, and the same ON the
course in 10. His trotting action never
has been cquallcd. Another marked in
stance in point, is Ethan Aliens son Daniel
Lambert, from a messenger dam, Il trottcr
himself, and the sire of Il large family of
trotterS; prominent among which as Il
trotter and sire of trottcrs is "ADRAIAM"
VT. the sire of those numerous fast colts,
one of which four years old, has trottcd
over a half mile tract; in Ito l2 and anoth-
or ON the ice in Ill. In Abraham, the
true combination anu proper auihlXture Oh
hloods is effected, enabling him to produce
trottcrs almost invariably, and without so
much reference to the blood of the dam.
There is no instance known, when the re-
reySe of this crossing has produced same re-
suits. Therefore so far as possible let the
sire be Morgan, and the dam Messenger.
These facts commend themselves to the
consideration of those engaged in horse
breeding everywhere, pointing out most
uncrringy the true path to fellow.

SwEET-BRTER AND LAVENDER GARDENS,
No garden is perfect without a sweet-brier
and lavender. Ever so small garden
should find room for one or two of these,
on account of their fragrance. One sweet
brier, well cut every year, will last an age.
Lavender becomes untidy in its third year;
but so easy is it to propagate. that few
strips pulled off the plant, and put into the
ground in early autumn. will be sure to
make new plants. Gardening does not con-
sist in buying a few geraniums and calceo-
laria, and setting them out for ones own
qualification of color. Its true aim should
be, not only to please, the owner of the
garden, but city-pcnt friends, to whom few
things are more acceptable than fragrant
nosegay.

PoIsoSoUs CoLoRINGs. -Greeds are not
the only colors which contain arsenic, nor
wallpaper, the only fabric colored with
arsenical pigments. A correspondent of
the Chemical NeWs, who is in Il position to
know, states that the French use the follow
ing pigments containing arsenic, in calico
printing, and that they are equally suitable,
and doubtless used, in the coloring of paper
hangings. Light scarlet pigment contained
alumna, arseniOus oxide, and aurine scar
let poncea contained carbonate of lime, in
addition to the ingredients just named !;
dark green, a preparation of aniline green
and arscnious oxide; steam chocolate ana
catechu pigment both contained the arseni-
Gus oxide. The presence of arsenic in red,
as well as in green-colored wallpaper, has
been demonstrated by Hallwachs.

The Sandy Hill correspondent of the

for attempting to pay debt. He says:

room, walked up in front of the judges,
rendered Justice Potter numerous shin
plasters, remarking, "Take that and 90

the custody of the sheriff, who locked him
up. When somewhat sobered he was let
out, and explained his conduct by saying
that when in Whitehall few weeks ago he
borrowed two dollars of Judge Potter
promising to pay him when he came to
court, adding that it was the first time he
was ever imprisoned tor Offering to pay a
debt, and now he will see Judge Potter in
Il place supposed to be uncomfortably warm
before he will pay him the two dollars.
