VIM. 8. McCaulley, Esq; then called the
a.tention OF the court to the application Of
william Kyle for license, and desired
reconsideration of their refusal to grant It.
The Chief Justice stated that the court
would not grant any new licenses. They
would rather lessen the number now ex.

80 many. Upon Mayor Whjteley stating
that the law was constantly being violated.
and that II was next to impossible to con-
vict, the Chief Justice rejoined, that without
making any reflections upon the Attorney
General, still If he occupied that Office he
would bring the offenders to punishment or

Gus reasons this is regarded as imprac,ica6le
in our climate. In England it has heretofore
been the custom 10 pave the hoprs OF stalls us

inclination either to the rear or the center,
where n gutter or CRATE received the urine
Recently, good authorities nave approved of
the American plan of chtSnu' or oak plank
instead Of stone, and trial IN London is said
to have proved that horses stand with more
ease and safety on wood. The great objec-
ton to our common stable floors IS the pitch
of from one 10 four inches, which is given for
the purpose Of draining of the urine This
IS often much larger than necessary, but an
inclination 10 the rear Is injurious Tor Tue
reason that the toes of the animal are thereby
turned up and the back sinews, especially OF
the fore-legs, kept in a sort of unnatural ten
sion. Most men would object TO being com.
PEELED to stand on their heels, and horses IN
pastures are seen TO stand with their fore.leel
in holes which they have stamped out OF me
soil. This enables them to remove the strain
from the back sinews and give them rest one

Guilty in stable floors has heretofore been
sort of wooden grating or movable loor
placed upon the ordinary planklng, the rear
end OF the pieces composing 1t being two or
three inches thicker than the other end, and
the pieces being fastened half an inch apart,
so as to allow the urine to flow down on the
lower floor, and then the gutter in the rear as
usual. This arrangement is something eX-
pensve and troublesome, and a better one is
desirable. The following plan has been de.
vised and adopted for my, own stable, and
seems to answer every requirement: \ floor
of plank, with an inclination to the rear OF
two inches, is LAID in the ordinary manner,
except that tine planks extend only to within
two feet of the mangcr. The space between
the ends of the planking and manger are COW
cred with pieces which are of the same thick
ness with the planSs where they join them,
but are sawed so as to be an inch ana halt
thinner at the manger. Thus a pitch forward
of an inch and half in two feet is obtained,
and the horse can stand as suits him best,
either as when at rest in the field, or on the
line of junction with his fore feet level, or
back of it with his toes turned up. The urine
COWS Ia the rear as usual, and the extra ex.
pensc is merely nominal.

which entered his foot. Lameness followed,
the nail was extracted, but lockjaw super

when nail is withdrawn from horses foot,
the foot should be held up and some murIatic

Some fifty years ago Anderson said:
One thousand sheep folded on an acre OF
ground one day, would manure it sufficiently
to feed one thousand and one sheep; so that,
by this process, land which, the first year,
can feed only one thousand sheep, may, the
next year, as a result OF their own droppings,
iced thirteen hundred and sixty.fve.
Sprengel allowed that the manure OF four
teen hundred sheep, for one day, is equal to
manuring highly one acre OF land, which is
about four sheep per year. Mechi, still
more recent authority, estimates that fifteen
hundred sheep, folded on an acre of land for
twenty-four hours, or one hundred sheep for
fifteen days, would manure the land sufficient
ly to carry it through four years rotation. In
the United States, much less attention has
been paid to this item Of profit to be derived
from the flock. Only upon the poorer lands,
and then only the exceptionally few close OBJ
serving and calculating men, do we meet
with any notice of it at all. Not so in Eng.
land and France, where the necessities I'M
posed by density of population, and conse-
quent enhanced value Of land, compel recog-
milton of every mlnuua Of profit by the cult
water of the soil. There the feeding and graz,
ing of sheep enters into the system of rotation
with invariable regularity. Without the
sheep of England today her agriculture
would be failure. Their value to English
agriculture is to be found in their manure.
Though not Of themselves profitable, they
make it possible for other branches Of agri-
cultural industry to become so. Professor
Coleman, of the Agricultural College at Cir
encester, once said:
1t is not difficult to show that sheep alone,
apart from their influence on the corn crops
will pay a living profit after all the expenses
of growing the crops are considered.
NJ. Ihiers says:
The agricultural industry of France cannot
dispense with sheep.

THE Chicago Tribune, the leading Re.

earnestly supported Hayes for President,

Journal of the same political stripe, in OPP

fairly from the statements Of both sides,
the Republicans of Louisiana and the
country have to bear the consequences of
the panic which seems to have so stricken
the colored voters in these five districts.
We look upon it as calamity, because we

If 'the Cambria county editors who

denouncing each other as everything that

kind of scent was it that fingered around
the editor of the Tyrone Democrat when he

By the last Standard we have :he reason
why its editor SO frequently finds its neces-

Standard might get his vote In without chal-

WHAT DOES IT MEAN Col. Jas. F.
Milliken has issued an order commanding
company commanders of the fifth regiment
to ''at 0nce' place their commands in such
condition as to be ready to march on short
notice. Company drills are to be held
three evenings each week. Commands
not already supplied with cartridges will
send in their acquisitions immediately
In view of the present perilous and dis
tracted condition of the country, such an
order is incendiary and criminal. Its au-
thor shows lack of judgment and patriot
ism which should call down upon him the
censure of the public, as well as those in
authority. His resignation should be de-
manded as once. This is not the time to
stir mp angry passions, and yet Col. Millilen
iiaunts i'll the face of our people his order
commanding his troops to prepare for war.
We say to Col Millken that he has shown
himself unworthy Of his position and moth
ing but his immediate resignation will
satisfy the public. The country may be in
great danger. but we hope the efforts of
patriots and the firmness of the people will
cause the conspirators against the ballot
to halt before they plunge the nation into
another civil war. But if it does come,
woe be unto the men whose crime and in
science have brought it about. UoE4idays-

A SINGULAR PHENOMENON, frequently
met with in the Indian Ocean, the real
cause of which has not yet been ascertained
is the existence off Malabar, and in certain
spots along the Coromandel coast, of vast
mud banks and of tracts of mud suspended
in the sea, wherein many kinds of fish find
abundance of food, immunity from much
disturbance in the surrounding element.
and locality in which TO breed. The OK
act cause of the existence of these large
tracts OF sea in which the mud thus remains
in solution, is mystery; but at any rate
the ocean is so smooth, that during even
the height of the southwest monsoon, YES
sells can run for shelter into their midst,
and once there, are as safe when inside a
breaker.
