Florida is divided, one Republican
and one Democrat being elected to the
house. which would neutralize the vote
of that State. A&
The only remaining S,ate is Calfor.
MIA, which viii! elect, members of the
house OF representatives in September
next. There are four districts 10 the
State. At present the members are
equally divided. At the last. election
the Republicans carried three of the
districts, but the partisan majority in
the house unseated one of their members
and elected Democrat in his place,
In case the presidential election should
be thrown into the, house California will
decide, unless her next delegation be
equally divided. The contest for ma.
jority Of the districts in California will
therefore be sharp one. But it is not
very likely that the eleetiopwll devolye
upon the house. The third party will
amount to nothing, aud one or the other
OF the two great parties will pretty cer-
tainly have majority in the electoral
college, Should the Republicans carry
in 1880 the States carried in 1873, they
would have the electoral college by d
great majority.
There are two States ,--Ohio and Ore
gon,- ranged on the Democratic side 10
the vote by States, whose electoral coll
leges the Democrats caunot carry. And
there is another-- Indiana--which upon
straight contest they may lose. 1t has
been going Democratic of late because
the National party has been recruited
mainly from the Republicans, who ID
that State have hitherto tried to dodge
the financial question instead Of meeting
it boldly--a folly they will never com
NIT again. The National party, so call.
ed, will cut no figure whatever in the
presidential election. Its brief day is
run - OreGonidn.

Re-Opening Thoroughfarc.

Ia order to guard against results utterly
subrersire OF health, 1t is absolutely essen
tial that the grand thoroughfare or avenue
OF the system, the bowels. should be re-
opened as speedily as possible when they
become DISTRACTED. If they are. not, the
bile Is msdirected into the blood; the liver
becomes torpid; viscid bilious matter gets
into the stomach, and produces indigestion;
headaches ensue, and other symptoms are
produced. which Il prolongation of the ex-
citing cause only tends to aggravate. The
nperlert properties of Hostetter's Stomach
bitters constitute most useful agent in
overcoming construction of the bowels, and
promoting regular habit of body. 1t is
intinnely superior to the drastic cathartics
frequently used for the purpose, since it
does not, like them, act violently, but pro-
duces natural painless effect, which does
not impair the tone of the evacuatory or
gans, which it invigorates instead of weak
ening. The stomach and liver, also, in-
deed the entire system, is strengthened and
regulated by it. 9 I'm.

SlauRhiering Swine.

A correspondent of the Nep England
Farmer says:
What l consider the proper way to kill a
hog, is to get into the pen alone, work up to
the victim carefully, scratch his back little,
perhaps, and before he is aware of any danger,
slip rope into his mouth; bat by all means
avoid any excitement so far as possible.
When the rope is well secured in his mouth,
hand the end to the assistant, who will pull
1t tight, and, as quick as you can get the hog
into good position, strike good smart
blow above his eyes with an axe or hammer.
l used an old adze, which has a small round
head and makes a smaller mark than an axe.
If the blow is hard, and aimed right, the hog
will fall, and will not stop to do the most
natural thing for hog, that is, to squeal, and
he may then be bled just as we'll as ii not
stunned. Besides the humanity of this
method, another advantage is that it saves a
hard tussle which is required to throw and
hold large hog when in possession of all his
faculties. 1. is not always necessary to rope
a hog, but it is the safest way, as they may
dodge If not held, and you will miss your aim,
which il very undesirable; consequently, it is
better to rope and hold them; then. if the
hrst blow fails, it may be repeated instantly.
DIR. Sads says: "There is an idea preva-
lent among farmers, and even among many
swine as an avocation, that, if these animals
are rendered insensible by blows upon the
head, it is impossible to empty the blood YES
sells. There is no foundation, however, for
any such opinion. Auy obstacles to bleeding
are due, not to material differences in the ana
tomical arrangement of the blood vessels. but
solely to the difficulties attending the cutting
through of the great mass OF fat and flesh
which characterizes the necks of swine. i'm
order to reach those vessels-a reason, GER
tainly, why the animal should be rendered
insensible before bleeding, not only on the
score of humanity, but also on the score of
avoiding the barbarous sights and sounds
which so frequently disgrace our towns and
villages. Ia Europe, generally, and at the
present time in our large slaughtering estab-
llshments, both in New England and at the
West, the swine are first rendered insensible
by being stunned"
The writer believes that there are but few
of the readers of the Farmer who would 90
back to old practices, after killing number
of swine by stunning and then bleeding Let
us try and get out of the old ruts, and see if
there are not better ways than those our
fathers followed, even In killing hogs.
