UNION PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The Pres
bytery of Washington city, at its fall meeting
in Georgetown, d. c., last week, after hearing
the statement OF the Elders representing the
First Presbyterian Church of Alexandria in
tina. body, appointed committee to visit the
church at Alexandria, confer with the mem.
bcrs of the congregation, and, if deemed eXpe-
dent, give them suoh advise as might be
proper 10 relation to their connexion with the
new "Uuiou Church of Alexandria. That
committee consisted OF Rev. DR.. Chester, Rev.
f. g. Bittinger, aud Elder BallantyDe, of the
New York Avenue Church. A meeting of the
congregation of the First Presbyterian Church
was held last night, at which the committee
were present, Rev. Mr.. Bittinger presiding as
Moderator. After prayer, the Moderator stated
the object of their visit. and called upon mem
bers OF the congregation to express their opln-
ions 10 regard to the present condition OF the
church. and 10 relation to any further or closer
connection with the new organization. free
and full interchange Of opinion then took place,
at the close Of which the committee retired tor
consultation, and on returning, reported that
that they had concluded not to advise any
change iG the action of the congregation had

that great good might result from the closer
union of christians of the different branches OF
the church.
MIR. Mckenzie then offered the following
resolution, which was unanimously adopted:
Besoved, That if any of our members or eld-
ers feel that is bes. and for their spiritual good
to join the Union Presbyterian Church that they
have our cheerful consent to do so, without the
slightest reflection upon any member or elder
who chooses to withdraw.

Shall We Encourage Walking Horses

1t is hardly possible to take up a Jour
nal during the summer and autumn With
out seeing either items or extended ac-
counts of what horses have accomplished
in trotting or running, We scarcely
ever see accounts of their endurance in
hauling loads at given pace, or the
number of miles they have accomplished
in a given number of hours at a walking
gait and yet this practically is of lar
more importance than their endurance at
speed.
Agricultural fair managers, who might
not inaptly be called agricultural horse
trot managers" advertise widely the
large amounts devoted as premiums for
trotting and running, but not word as
to horses exhibiting the greatest endur-
ance and speed at a walking gait. Why
not? "Oh, it will not draw the crowd"
Very well If agricultural fairs are SIM
ply intended to draw that class of hui
mainly whose end and aim IN life is trot-
ting and running horses, and betting
thereon, well and good.
There is, however. now and then an
individual who, while he admires this
noble animal at speed, very well knows
that this eternal pandering to mere speed
is not only vtiating the taste of the pub
lie. but also is tending to breed out other
valuable traits ths.t can i'll be spared.
A good walking hclse should make, at
that gait, an average Of four miles an
hour. How many can do its Very few.
Why SOY The walking gait has ceased
to be cultivated
BY thee careful training of ambitious
and active horses they may be made TO
walk five miles an hour as easily as the
ordinary horse now walks three. There
is no reason why an average pace of four
miles an hour should not be Kept up with
ordinary loads throughout the day.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1874-09-03

In the days travel this would make q
gain OF ten miles and the trained horse
would have accomplished forty miles as
against the thirty miles for the unframed
one, and this just as easily to the horse
OF spirit as to the one with the slower
gait. II the horse have not the mechan-
ical structure for this gait, of course he
cannot do it. Having it, it may be
brought out just as easily as trOtting
or running gait; and if premiums were
given for this purpose at our agricultural
fairs, it would be found that individual
horses would be able to make, not only
five miles an hour, but some of them six.
The naturally fast walker, when trained,
will even do q given amount of work, at
the increased pace, easier than at the slow
pace. This we know from experience.
The energy displayed among all classes
of breeders has been directed constantly
to reduce and degrade the walking gait,
| and as consequence we find, each year,
fewer and fewer fast-walking horses.
This spirit has pervaded our fair rings
until now it is difficult to find premium
offered for the fastest walking horse. In
looking over the premium lists already
received by us for 1874, embracing near
~ III tnt VeSteIn OtalcS, we HHu only
two premiums offered for walking horses,
one by the Kansas City (Mo) Industrial
Exposition, and the other by the North
eastern Iowa Agricultural Society. We
are glad to be able to chronicle these two,
and hope that the number may be yearly
increased until the fastwalking horse
shall at least be regarded on par with
other road and working horses. A great
error has been made in ignoring this most
valuable Of all the gaits of the horse.
Certainly reform is needed in this direc-
ion.-Western Ru,ul

be great danger that the ears would not

If this supposition be correct it will be
readily seen that it is of the first impor.
lance that the farmer should save with
the utmost care both the liquid and the
solid excrement IF all his animals and
protect them from all exposure to loss.

leaves and stalks, and to supply rich
harvest of "full corn in the ear" But
even if the supposition be not correct
there is still sufficient proof that both the
liquid and solid excrement of our cattle
are of too great value to justify, as is
still too frequently the case, their expos

some shelter be provided for our manure
which shall protect it from the sun, rain
and wind A barn cellar is the best. Let
an abundant supply of some absorbent
be procured. Nothing is better than
good dry meadow muck, used in quanti-
ties sufficient to absorb all the liquid
droppngs of all our cattle, and mixed
every day with the solid manure.-Agrs-
