time there was heard the most fearful
squealing and braying imaginable-some
times very distinctly, again more family,
as the varying breeze waited the sounds
or as the scene of the battle shifted.
Looking toward the camp Joggles was
seen jumping up and down and running
frantically about, evidently intensely ex-

ladder and mount upon the roof OF his
porch, and thence to climb to the top OF
his house, vainly stretching his neck to
obtain view Of the fight.
Now the cloud of dust was seen to
rapidly approach the crest of the ridge,
and soon it came whirling over it. Then
were seen two dense clouds of dust, both
rolling rapidly in the direction of the
camp. Wild snorts and hOarse brays
were heard. Swiftly the red clouds
rolled on, and soon in the foremost the
form of an animal could be seen. A
puff of wind showed this to be the
broncho-Old Pizen. At the distance Of
three or four hundred yards behind
rolled a rapidly following cloud, as We

Northern men in the South are as
warmly welcomed as though there
had never been a war. Our people
are pleased to take them by the hand
as fellow-citizens, as friends, as
neighbors-glad to help them, and
glad to be helped by them. Our
representative men III Congress,
while standing up boldly and firmly
for the rights Of their own section,
make no exhibition Of prejudice
against the North, or of ill=feeling
toward the men by whom the South
was borne down in arms in her strug-
gle for independence There is Ger
tainly some prejudice in this section
as well as in that. It could not be
otherwise, with human nature as it
is. under the circumstances that
have provoked hate for hate. But
the prejudice here compared to the
prejudice there, is as drop to a
draught of gaul. The contrast is
striking; and it cannot be long before
the world will observe it. Rich

Church-Going Hen.

Poets have told of birds which
sang praises, but it has remained for
Toledo to produce a church going
hen. One Of the prominent churches
in that city has it's parsonage located
next to the church edifice, and for
the convenience Of the pastor side
door opens foom the sanctuary into
the parsonage yard. As an innocent
occupation for his leisure hours the
minister had reared a fine flock of
chickens, and unde- his care and at
tention the aforesaid fowls had be-
come quite intimate with the worthy
dominic. Last Sunday the good
man was trifle late, and in his hur-
~ to reach the pulpit, neglected to
close the door leading into the church.
! A matronly hen observed her mas
ter, and having nothing important to
do, concluded to follow him. With
solemn steps and slow, she entered
the study, and through the half-open
door viewed The wo"shippers within.
Just thea The notes of the organ

heads of the congregation. She had

Non-Patent Feed Box Fer Fowls.

| have just been making an i'm
proved feed box for our fowls, from
which they can take feed Of any sort
without upsetting the dish, fouling
the feed, or wasting any part of it,
When bi is Of meal and scraps are
placed in a dish where the fowls can
reach them, there is usually rush,
50 that some Of the fowls get hoisted
into the receptacle Of their feed; and
if it is not heavier than one or two
fowls, over it will go, and away the
feed will be scattered.
To prevent this unceremonious
rough nd-tumble onset for feed, I
procured a good nail key, having a
good bottom, and sawed seven holes
through the slaves, of sufficient size
to allow ROSTERS head to pass in
and out freely. The holes are about
three inches in length, up and down,
two inches wide, and of an elliptical
form. The lower ends of the holes
are about four inches above the bot
tom of the key. The sharp edges of
the slaves are dressed off with a
knife, SO that the gills or combs of
the fowls may not be chafed or
bruised.
Into this key we put food Of any
sort, such as pieces of liver and girls
tie, cooked and cut into pieces no
larger than kernel of corn. The
fowls then thrust their heads into
the holes and take their feed quietly.
The place where grain is fed consists
of a half-barrel tub, placed on one
end, with holes through the slaves,
six inches apart. The lower edge of
the holes DIRE four inches from the
bottom. Within the tub keg is
placed, after both heads are taken
out. Grain is put in thu key
About two inches of every stave are
cut away at the bottom, so that the
grain can run out into the barrel as
fast and no faster, than the fowls eat
it: This device i s not patented.

The WONDERFUL SAGAcITY or A

The WONDERFUL SAGAcITY or A
Doe.-A young gentleman of this
city, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, now in England in quest Of
health, in letter to his family, gives
an account of the performance Of a
shepherds dog, which shows the
wonderful sagacity Of these animals.
He SAYS:
witnessed an accident yesterday
in Guilford, the like Of which I never
saw before. A shepherd, with his
dog was driving about three hun.
dred sheep through the town, and
as they were not disposed to move
forward as fast as he desired, he tolt
the dog to make them 60 faster
The dog instinctively compromising
the wishes of his master, ran along
on the backs Of the sheep until hi
got near the front ones, when he be
gan to bark at and bite them, forcins
the forward ones to run, THUS caus
ing those behind to follow. This
saw the animal do several times
The friend who accompanied me
though accustomed to witness tn
; performances of these sagaciods ami
mails, remarked that he never say
: such dog. / am sure I never die
\ l could not help thinking that tn
7 dog had more sense than some poop
+ that we know.

BREEDING A Coop CoIS.-Whoev:
er wishes to breed good colt must
be willing to put himself to certain
amount Of trouble and expense
There is an old saying that ''the
gods never drop nuts already crack
ed into mems mouths" Now the
country is full of men who are ambi-
tious to raise a five hundred dollar
colt, but who are at the same time
unwilling to be at any considerable
trouble or expense to do it. They
wish for the five hundred dollar colt >
but they wish to get it in such way
that it shall not cost them over fifty
or seventy-five dollars. It is not
difficult for an intelligent breeder to
raise five hundred dollar colt; it is
not extrayagant for such person to
expect to raise a colt, which, at FIVE
years of age, shall command thou
sand dollars for every year Of his
age, but it costs time, attention and
considerable money to insure such a
result. An ordinary dam will not
produce such a colt. An ordinary
stallion will not beget such an ami
NAL. Stations whose services can
be obtained for ten Or twenty dollars,
and mares of low blood and negative
characters, can never. beget or con-
ceive such foal.-[ Murray.
