A Good Gate.
. % Correspondence Country Gentleman

- % correspondence Country Gentleman.l
There are many ways to make good
gate. send you u description of one
- lmade,i which has been in use ten years
or more, and is yet sound and strong.
Anybody can build it with little help
from the blacksmith. The main post,
to which the gate is hung, is 8 inches
square, and firmly set in the ground.
The other post may be lighter. Oak or
red cedar is good enough. For door
= yard gate the posts may be smaller, and
the gate not so long as those used in
the field where loads of hay are to pass
through; 104 or II feet for field, and 81
to 10 feetfor carriage way roads, is wide
4 enough. For the frame, cut the end
pieces by inches square and feet
long of almost any kind of sound wood;
pine is good enough. The bars are 24
by inches, framed into end pieces,
with an inch mortice and tenon, and
ypined, with half inch pins. The picketss
sare by 8 inches, fora field gate, or
by2 inches for smaller gates, and Sc
curely nailed on the bars. The hooks
used in hanging the gate should be
inch square, passing through main post,
and secured with screw and nut. For
the brace, Use an iron rod inch III
diameter with an eye to hook on the
upper hook in post. Pass this brace
entirely through the heel post of the
frame, bend it down to near the bottom
on the other end of the gate, passing
through the end of the other post of
frame, and secure it 10y screw and nut
with u washer, as at that place much
of the weight of the gate rests. At the
bottom hinge Use Il common eye with
washer in heel post of frame.
When shut, the end post of he frame
at the bottom rests on what | call Il
"shoe" nr piece of thick plank spiked
Oh the foot of the post near the ground,
and on which the gate rests when closed.
Into the frame post drive IL staple on
each side: into the post drive two
'7 staples, with a hook in each from four
= to six inches long. The gate thus opens
each way, and as it rests on the wooden
support at the bottom, where slight
notch is made for the frame post tn rest
in, there is no si,gying or getting out "t
place 10y the wind. In any case the
gate can not sag except very slightly,
ms the iron rod is sufficient to hol all
in place. Either one of the hooks at
the top keeps the gate in place. gate
of this kind requires less work to ketl
clear of snow drifts than any other thai
swings horizontally, rs there is II" bot

as 1t comes to Richmond. But az am very
expansive l would like to add the following
resolutions. Please publish them, that head
quarters may have them in time:
II. Thst Government minis for coinage
are a waste OF the public money. and thai
any three justices in any county shall be
authorized to coin gold and silver, and that
| the United States Government shall pay the
expenses.
IL. That u dolIS shall be dollar, whe-
Their gold. silver, greenback, or counterfeit.
and that anybody that says it is not shall! be
hung.
| 13. That any gentleman's bond shall be
full settlement of bis debt, and that the
man who says 1t is not is Yankee.
IA. That stay laws shall be made part
of the next Constitution.
Is. That every Virginian has an inherent
and inaIienabe right to land; that what q
farmer has shall be his forever; and that
! his bad luck Is dispensation OF Providence
to be meekIy borne by what are Improperly
called his l." creditors "-who have had the
honor to lend him money or sell him goods.
1C. That every man is by nature entitled
to fifty dollars in pocket-money; and when
he runs low he has right to make the
United States Government rcpleniSh him.
II that is not so, what's the use OF Govern
ment?
II. That bureau be established to give
every man an office that wants one.
IS. That greenDacks are nothing but pa.
1er, and com metal-one is made out OF
rags, the other is dug out Of the Garth
and that in free government nobody ought
to suffer for the want Of them.
10. That Government was made for the
people, and not the people for the Govern
ment; that free Government ought to run
itself and not be burden to the people.
II a shoe pinches, it's the shoes fault.
20. That honesty is splendid; but that,
like religion. it was "ne'cr deslgned-to
make orr pleasures less"
81. That communism means working
people, laborers, manufacturers, claiming
rights that they ought not to do so, but be
quiet.
%. That Virginia people were made for
public office and not TO be bothered.
%. That peanuts and whiSkey, faro-banks
and so forth, belong to legislators and ought
