Watering Horses.

II is practice with many horsemen 10 not al
low their stock any water until they have eaten
their food, and then give them all they want
This practice is at least Of doubtful utility, and
recent experiments made III Ednburg seem to
prove that it is injurious.
A lot Of condemned horses were fed with var
ious kinds Of food and some supplied with water.
Immediately after eating When killed. soon az
ter, it was invariably found that large portion
Of the water had passed through the stomach
and into the intestines. carrying portion
of the undigested food with il. In
come cases although the horses were
killed as soon as practicable and
without any struggle yet the food and wa
ter had passed from fifty to sixty feet down the
intestine. As the presence OF crude or und-
gested food in the intestines lie one of tho most
prolific causes Of cole and Inflammation Of the
bowels, the danger Of tho practice il apparent.
The animal should always be watered
before eating, and If warm should
he allowed to stand till cool. Even if plentifully
watered before eating, we invariably find that
our farm team will drink a small smount after
eating, especially if dry food has been used. In
proper feeding and watering are no doubt the
cause of seventy-iye per cent of the cases Of
disesse among horses.

A recent report upon the Authorizations Of
Food bears more heavily upon confectionery
than upon any other class of manufactured edi-
lively poisonous, especially il the colorins mat
tiers which exhibit in many cases lead, copper
and even arsenic in various forms. 1t il no
wonder that heavy eyes, pale cheeks, and disor-

who arc freely INDUCED in sweatmeats Of this
kind and that many parents should be led to pass
sweeping censure on the whole family Of swoeties

But the proper course, may be. after all not
to debar the little folks from an alimout, the
universal craving for which points it out as ben.

is quite innocuous, but blue and yellow should

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE AND COUNTY RES
OLUTIONS.

The Democratic Conventions of the State and
of this county afford us an interesting illustra-
ton OF the value OF their " platforms" 1t was
remarked by everybody that the former, when it
met at Dover, fortnight ago, devoted its reso-
buttons exclusively to national questions, omit
ting and apparently avoiding all reference to
those of the State. Although it was Delaware
Convention, it had nothing to say-not word
upon Delawarss affairs, while it found a most
fluent voice upon all sorts Of subjects re-
lating to those of the United States. This omis-
sion Was singular enough and excited remark at
the time, but the action taken at New Castle, on
Saturday, explains the matter perfectly. View
ing the one proceeding by the light of the other
both are seen to be parts Of general scheme.
1t appears plain that the Dover Convention had
no friendly disposition toward any of the several
measures of State Reform which have been pro-
posed and urged. There was not a single
one to which it was willing to extend its en-
dorsement-no even that OF amending the
School System. 1t had most positive notions
concerning a number of national issues, but for
the ameliorstion or Improvement of our own af-
fairs it had not a word OF encouragement.
Coming then to New Castle, and seeing how
freely the County Convention took up what the
State Convention avoided how promptlyit en-
dorsed various State reforms what an affecta-
ton of earnest desire for liberal legislation it
professed aud we can comprehend the whole
business perhaps we should say the whole
dodge. 1t is evident that the State Convention
opposed to all reforms, and meaning that none
shall be effected while the Democratic Party con-
tinues in power, sent them to New Castle, with
the idea that this would serve the purpose
of tickling the fond imasiuations of the people
of this county, while it bound nobody who was
likely to have the power of affecting the reforms
proposed. Kent and SUSSEX il the next Logi1-
lature should be Democratic will hold the rens,
as Of old, while New Castle, with all its good re.
solves, would take back seat
How old the birds may be- in this end OF the
State, we do not pretend to say, but they surel,
will not be caught with such very trashy chat
as this transparent manRuvre. They vii

by a round majority, and look to obtaining re

Splits and bolts abound, even amongst the
Democrats. In the Congressional Convention Of
the Democrats of Montgomery county, at Nor
ristown, Pa on Monday, there was almost an
equal division of the delegates, and the minoii-
ty, after Withdrawing, nominated ex-Judge Hem
~ Chapman of Doylestown, while the others
named Hon. L. L. Acker, editor of the Norris
town Register. There will be no chance, what
ever, of electing Democrat the district being
good for probably 1000 Republican majority.
The Philadelphia Sunday Times gives a por-
trait and personal sketch Of Henry IL. Griffin, a
popular and ambitious young colored man, here
tofore Republican, who is running as an INDIE
pendent candidate for the Legislature, from the
seventh Ward OF that city. lie says that the
candidate whom the colored people of the Ward
wished to have nominated by the Republicans
was 'sold OUT and that ns he, himself felt free
to act as he pleased, he appeared as candidate.
1t is stated that gentlemen who have had IN
teryiews with the President III regard to the
situation at the South represent him as express
ing in private still more emphatic views than
those expressed IN his letter, and giving most
emphatic assurances that the whole power OF
the government shall be used to preserve order.
