Recipe for Foot-Rot end,
Scab. 4E

N Scab.
Mr.. John Hill, of Henrico
county, Virginia, recommends, 10
October Department OF Agrieul-
uraI Report, the following as very
reliable remedies for the above
usined diseases of sheep:
For FooT- RoT.-First cleanse
the foot, then pare away a por-
ton of foot covering the diseased
part, and apply the following TO ali
flesh affected by fungus growth
Nix gunpowder and blue vitriol
in equal quantities, and to seven
parts OF this mixture add one part
of verdigris and sufficient sweet
oil to make a salye. Apply this
salye twice week, keeping the
sheep dry footed, for an hour or so
after each application. sUEi
For SCAB.--Make strong I've
from hard wood ashes, as oak or
hickory add to each gallon of i've
one pound of strong tobacco sim
mer over moderate fire iur about
one hour, then strain and add TO
each gallon Of the liquid a quar-,
ter Of pound Of the flower of
birthstone, the same quantity of
hellebore powder, half pint Of
spirits Of turpentine, and large
tablespoon Of carboIic acid. The
mixture is then fit for use as a
dip" (fOr which the best time is
after shearing,) or other wise. 1t
should be we'll stirred before IL,
sing and kept from the eyes and
mouth. 1t is well before using to
scratch the affected parts with a
curry-comb, or something similar
It the weather is wet the sheep
should be kept Under cover for a
short time after the APPLICATION
The remedy should be applied
once or twice a week.

The recent State Convention
of the Farmers Association Of
Illinois adopted the following
preamble and resolution:
"IFkercaS, President Grant
was guilty of using his official
position to secure the passage
OF the infamous salary-grab
law, and did at the close of his
first term, affix his signature to
the same, thereby making it the
law Of the land; therefore,
"RsSoLred, That this conven-
ton of the farmers of Illinois,
with sorrow, but in all candor,
as in duty bound, do deprecate
such degradation of the exal-
ted position of President of
these United States"
This is TO the point, and eve
nv honest American will blush
when he is compelled TO admit
that it states the exact truth.

Free Circulation of County Papers.

There are strong indications that the
postal laws will be so amended, at this ses-
sion Of Congress, as to permit the free cir
culation Of weekly papers within their re-
spective counties, as under the old law.
The measure has heretofore been urged
upon the attention of Congress, and we see
that Postmasier.General Creswoll holds the
same views. In late message to the Sem
ate, giving information in regard to the
working Of the abolition Of frauking, he
says
"Thero is one restriction, however, which he
never advised, and which, IN his opinion, might
he safely romoved-that is, the provision which
lorhids free transportation OF weekly newspa-
pers within the counties Of their publication,
as heretofore authorized by law. The grounds
upon which this recommendation is made arc
First, that such papers are so evenly distributed
over the entire extent of the country, and con-
fined to lines Of transit 80 short, that they have
never been known to impede the distribution
and transportation OF the mails; and secondly
that tho amount of postage levied upon them
as at present collected, whilst allording but o
trilng revenue TO the department, is yet heavy
enough to be severely felt by their proprietors
and patrons, and to ohstruct the dissemination
Of local intelligence
If this accommodation Of Postmaster
General Croswell is framed into a law by
Congress, we are satisfied it will meet the
hearty approval Of the people.
Al the recent mfetiug of the Now iIamu-

Fears are entertained Of a new revo.
luton in llayti. The people Of that fav-
ored region seem to exist in a chronic state
of revolutionary eruption. 1t is probably
good for their health to have little gentle
excitement in order to enable them to re-
sist the eneryating influences of a tropical
cline. We have no objection to their
amusing themselves in this way so long as
they do not interfere with the interests of
our citizens. But as they are not apt to
make nice distinctions between natives and
foreigners in levyiug war contributions, it
might be well for the Washington authori.
ties to send down war ship to protect our
citizens.

In reply to resolution Of inquiry,
adopted recently by the Senate, Post
master General Creswell statesthat, as only
six months have elapsed since the repeal Of
the franking privilege, it is yet too early
to say just what the results have been. lie
is, however, thoroughly impressed with the
belief that the repeal ofthe ranking priyi,
lege was wise measure and will be pro.
ductiye of the best results, and he earnestly
recommends that no measure be taken for
its restoration until at least a fair trial has
been made. The not sales of official stamps
for the next fiscal year to cover the matter
formerly franked by the heads of depart.
ments are estimated at 1880 900, and he
judges that the entire postage upon all for.
merly free matter would amount to So ,5i3,,
1927 annually.

TnE BRITlsH PARLIAMENT.-March 9TH
is fixed for the meeting of the new Parlia-
ment, for the election of which the writs
are just out. An exciting canvass will fill
the short time that intervenes, for radicals
and conservatives are equally resolute and
earnest Perhaps it will be the fullest
vote ever known, as it is to decide point
of party pride either way. On the one
hand a conservative reaction is announced,
and the conservatives are eager for the OPP
portunity to prove the announcement truth
ful, as they no doubt believe it to be. On
the other hand, it is urgued reasonably by
the liberals that the falling of in their
power, the apparent disiutegration of their
party in Parliament and the loss of mum.
Der of seats in incidental elections, are all
due to local disappointments with Parlia.
mentary action, and not to any loss of heart
or faith in the party at large. SO both sides
will come out, and the canvass will be o
great one

Citizens who reside in the towns ada
cent to New York, are becoming alarmed
at the great number of unemployed and
reckless men who are running about the
country. A gang of masked men are visit
ing the isolated dwellings and gagging and
binding the occupants by day, and shooting
them by night, and then rObbing the houses,
and often setting fire to the premises be-
fore leaving. So great is the feeling of
danger that merchants are bringing their
wives and children to the hotels in the city.
Staten Island seems to be the fayorite 10.
cality of these desperadoes. They come in
boats and hide in the little hooks and bays
surrounding the island, and having the
boats in readiness to depart at any time,
here do their desperate work. Owing to
their comparative small number, the police
are powerless to guard the property.

Gen. Sickles in private letter to
friend in Washington, declares his inten-
ton of returning home and running for
Congress next fall, in order that he may,
if elected, be in position to get satisfac.
ton from Secretary Fish for the treatment
received from his hands while conducting
the Virginius negotiations. The letter is
full of wrath against Secretary Fish and as.
ssistant Secretary of State, j. Bancroft
Davis. Gen. Sickles says that he acquits
President Grant of having had any knowl.
edge of the indignity which he says secre-
tary Fish subjected him to, until it was too
late to interfere.

to his credit as SO much money, the same
as undrawn stationery.
