The ELECTION IN BELFAST. Monday morning
opened foggy, with easterly wind, which indi-
Gated early rain and III fact when the polls opened
the rain coming down heavily. Nevertheless,
both parties went to the work vigorously. The
Greenbackers held meetings on the day before, and
organized as for victory. The Republicans were
earliest to vote. and at the end Of the first hours
work were largely in the lead, The Greenbackers
were earnest, and the leaders, with dripping gar
ments and faded horses hurried the voters to the
polls BY eleven o'clock the Republicans were 50
far ahead as to warrant success but did not relax
their labors. The Greenbackers, at this point be-
gan to look frightened Little knots assembled
here and there, discussing the situation From
that hour their courage began TO wane, SO that as
the afternoon wore away hardly one was to be seen
more demoralized party 1t would be hard to find
than were the Greenbackers when the result Of the
days voting became known-Davis l40 majority
over ALL and DR.. Brooks elected Representative
by 1873. Every ward in the city went Republican,
including the Greenback stronghold il ward )
The voting places very quiet during the day,
and not much drunkenness was observed. The
Republicans moved about with smiles upon their
faces but were very kindly toward the vanquished
The scene on the streets was in marked contrast
to one year ago when the opposition were crazed
with their victory Then bontres illuminated the
square and drunken, bowling mob controlled the
city, bidding defiance to the local authorities.
The scene inside Hayford Hail one year ago, was
not much better. The speakers yelled stamped
the floor, &c, and were perfectly wild. On last
Monday evening the Republicans quietly assem-
bled at Hayford Hall and modestly congratulated
each other as the good news came in. At about
midnight the people retired to their homes,
satisfied with the days work. The result Of the
city vote may be found in another column

Statistics Of Self-Murder.

The statistics of suicide present
many strange phases. Young suicides
generally prefer drowning, old ones
hanging. Between twenty and thirty
the use of firearms is frequent, more
especially in the United States, where
carrying pistols is SO common. But as
the years lengthen out the suicide
seems to avoid them, and the same
may be said of poison. Opium and its
various compounds are freely used to
enable the victim to shuttle off this
mortal coil, but there is good reason
to believe that many cases set down as
telo dc Sc by this drug are not actually
SO, but are caused by overdoses taken
to procure sleep. The state of the
weather has its influence upon the
suicide rate, as many more commit
suicide in the summer months than in
the colder periods of the year
Strangely, too, the deaths by drowning
are usually less frequent during the

HINTS on Horse Keeping.

The wide stall IS luxury, and ought
to be six, or even ten, feet wide, if room
can be spared. Loose boxes are inn
portant for horses of great value; in
such stalls they can get perfect Tepose
by changing their position, recover from
fatigue Of hard days drive, and be
ready for the task the next day. The
food best adapted to the horse is oats
and hay Of the best quality, occasional
ly varied with bran mash, with tur-
nips or carrots as an alternative. The
growth and development of bone and
muscle depends greatly on the food
they eat. 1t is important to select such
as contain all the elements needed to
form the bone and muscle of the horse.
1t is self-evident that the nutritive mat
ter supplied by the food must be equal
to the exhaustion, or natural waste OF
the body, to keep up the condition.
The horse that is about to be driven
on long journey needs hardening by
exercise-preparing by sweating out
the body to purify and increase the cir
culation of the blood, and also by hand
rubbing the legs to make them firm and
elastic-a preparation, in some degree,
corresponding with that attained by the
horse that is daily driven on the road
for ordinary work. For one week
previous to the start they need daily
exercise, commencing with eight or ten
miles, and gradually increasing to
twenty per day. This exercise, with
appropriate food, will harden their
muscles, strengthen their limbs and pre-
pare them to perform their tasks with
out giving out on the road, materially
declining in flesh, or seriously exhaust
ing their physical powers.
If we perform long drives with horses
accustomed to short work only, the
sudden transition from incidence to
great exertion will relax their muscles,
weaken their joints, depress their
spirits and break down their constitu-
ton. The leading cause of SO many
valuable horses being spoiled by long
drives is from being short of work.
They are not prepared for such severe
exertions. Condition will prepare them
to perform their work cheerfully, last
out with sound limbs, and preserve
their constitutional vigor for future use

Epilepsy or Falling Fits.

In the Presbyterian Journal of December
IL, 1873, was q letter from the Rev. Peter
Stryker, D. D., from which we make the fol.
lowing extracts: "On our way back'' (froM .

though slowly. This reaches us from
several quarters. There is a slight de-
mand for linen goods from the north
of Ireland. A considerable order for

spoken of. A large order is also states,

A MEDICAL man IN Spoleto, Italy,
called in to attend child who was i'll,
was informed by the father that, should
he cure the infant, 1900 lire would be
his reward, but should he fail he would
infallibly be shot. He undertook the
case, and the child shortly after died,
whereupon the father, true to the COM
pact, brought his gun and at once put
an end to the labors and the life of the
unhappy doctor. In Italy juries are
usually lenient to a murderer, and the
owner of the gun was adjudged to pay
a fine of 25, 900 lire, and suffer ten years
imprisonment.

soils. If this be granted, still the hope
of luck in connection with the season
often goes great way in inducing the
individual to sow crop on land not
altogether sure. To all such we say,
hold on, and calculate the probabilities
of success in connection with the means
at hand.
Had it not been for the disastrous
failure in European crops this season,
with the enormous crops here wheat
would have been glut, and would have
sold at prices scarcely remunerative to
the raiser in areas far distant from tide
water. AS it is, the probable advance
in freights will tend seriously to reduce
the profits on all grain not yet marketed.
The probabilities are that wheat will
continue to bear good price next
spring. There is no reason why it should
not. With another full crop year in Eu-
rope prices must fall. The farmer, there
fore, who increases the area of wheat
sown must do SO expecting to take the
chances of the market to sell or to hold.
To those out of debt wheat is a good crop
to hold if prices should be low, but it
may not be a good crop to sow this sea-
son on land not adapted to it.--Prairie
Farmer.
