There is no hope for him, and there ought

vices, falsehood is the meanest and most
detestable. A cadet guilty Of dishonesty is
expelled. Dishonesty and falsehoods GO
hand in hand. They are twin vices. A
dishonest man is always liar; a liar may
ut any time become a thief, il he is not
one already. No young man who should
show the faint OF these vices goes through
West Point il the authorities can help it.

as Is since known. When II became
patent 10 all that the mill would probably
be sold, Mr.. Lehr, the largest stakeholder,
offered 10 sell his stock, amounting 70
Ss7, 900, to the company for ten cents on
the dollar, they 10 sell the stock 10 the
employees at par. This scheme likewise
failed, but those heavily interested In the
future success OF the establishment did
not give up yet, and set about trying 70
effect another scheme. The last PROPOSE:
ton Of the stockholders was the offer Of
80 per cent Of the capital stock to several
prominent citizens, they TO assume the
liabilities Of the concern. Fifty thousand
dollars OF this stock was to be sold TO the
employes=at -par, they to pay for 1t so
much per week In money kept out OF
their wages, and the new members Of the
firm to lend the company $4,000 for
three yeais at Q per cent. This PROPOSE
ton met with little encouragement from
the employees, who took the ground that

could escape in case the mill failed, but
for them their money would be lost for.
ever. However Just their sirmises may
have been their position was certainly
tenable, looked at from their standpoint,
and after some hesitation and thorough
examination OF their own interests the
proposition was refused. Then the crisis
came In the default OF the interest on the
bonds in March last, and the trustee ac-
cordingly advertised the mill for sale.
As we stated at the commencement OF

ment would fall. As Mr.. Laughin pur-
chased for the bondholders, we suppose
they will take steps 10 resume operations
On this subject, however, nothing definite
Is known. 1t may transpire that
the bondholders will sell to a
company, who can make better terms with
them than they could have done by pur.
chasing it at public sale, Everything on
tho subject Of starting up is therefore
merely conjecture. This fact, however,
is true that the fires in the furnaces will
be lighted and the big engine begin its
revolutions sometime, and when that time
does arrive. We hope fer the prosperity OF
the city aud for the good Of those who
have SO long been out Of work, that it
may be the beginning OF renewed and
continuous prosperity.

THE NEXT CENSUS.
The Relative strength OF the North aud
the south.

The Relative strength OF the North anu
the south.
Estimating the population Of the coun-
try in 1850 at 46,5OO,OOO and assuming 800
US the number Of Representatives in Con.
gress under the next apportionment, the
Washington Republican calculates that the
Southern States will lose seven, while the
Northern States will gain twenty-one,
making net gain OF fourteen; also that
Texas and Missouri will each gain three,
while the other Southern States will lose
thirteen, making net loss OF seven. AS
Stunning that the population will be 80, 000,-
600, as Mr.. Elliott estimates, and that the
number Of Representatives will be three
hundred, the Republican assigns two hun
dred and thirteen Representatives to the
Northern States, and eighty.seven to the
Southern States. According to this csti'
mate, the strength Of tie Northern States
in the Electoral College will be two hun
dred aud fifty.seven, while that OF the
Southern States will be only one hundred
and nineteen. According to the first
estimate, Iowa and Kansas will gain four
Representatives each, Illinois, Michigan
and Minnesota three each, Nebraska two,
and Wisconsin one. OF course the next
re.apportionment will not be made until
after the next Presidential election. II it
were made before then, the politicians
would have to revise their calculations.
The greater relative importance Of the
Northwest would perhaps insure the adop-
ton Of the "ohio Idea" by the Dcmoc-
racy as the basis Of the contest on their
part. As it is, that remarkable idea will
probably have to take back seat; it GER

MEssRs. EDIToRs -
am not quite certain that it will be
prudent for me to attempt to write any
thing for the perusal of your read
ers, which is not favored with
politics, especially since Won are en-
gagged in snch an exciting political cam
paign. But let me counsel them to keep
cool and if they cannot keep cool, by all
means keep as cool rs they can. BY
so doing they will feel better, have better
appcttes and be better satisfied with re-
suits, whatever they may be- New Hamp-
shire is everywhere known as the '.Granite
State and when one has once looked
upon her rocky hills and rugged noun
tains, he will acknowledge the perfect
propriety of the name.
West Andover is a small village situated
upon narrow stream meanderin0 through
valley, shut in on all sides by high hills
sloping down in many places with almost
precipitous abruptness From the sides
of a part OF these elevations, the forest has
been cut, leaving in some places bald
and barren surface, and in others rough.
rocky declyities, where here and there
are springing up scrub trees of various
kinds, the whole presenting from an agri-
cultural point OF view, a most discouraging
aspect. In the valley the view is narrowed
and crampcd, and when you ascend an
ordinary hill, you see little else, but other
hills. Aiew miles in Il uth-easterly direc-
ton from this place, is Mount Kearsage,-
the summit of which is frequently hidden
from sight in the clouds To-day it is
raining, and the mountain is invisible the
landscape appearing to the eye as if the
grand elevation had been entirely removed
in Il single night. This locality is no
means the toughest part of the State, bat
think your readers may form a tolerablv
correct idea of the disadvantages under
which the farmer labors here. Granite is
an excellent thing to build upon but loan
ismore desirable for agricultural purposes.

BALkY HORSES.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, puts forth the following rules
for the treatment of balky horses:
l. Pat the horse on the neck examine
the harness carefully, first on one side and
then on the other. speaking encouragingly
while doing so; and then jump into the
wagon and give the word $50 general
ly he will obey.
,. A teamster in Maine says he can
start the worst balky horse bv taking him
out of the shafts and making him 90 round
in Il circle till he is giddy If the first
dance of this sort doesn't cure him, the
second will.
). TO cure Il balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and shut
off his wind till he wants to go, and then
let him 90.
4. The brain of the horse seems to en-
tertain but one idea at time therefore
continued whipping only confirms his stub
born resolve. If you can by any means
give him II new subject to think of, YOU
will generally have no trouble in starting
him. a simple remedy is to take couple
OF turns OF stout twine around the foreleo,
just below the knee, tight enough for the
horse to feel, and then tie in bow-knot.
At the first cheek he will go dancing off,
and after Il short distance YOU can get out
and remove the string to prevent injury to
the tendon in your further drive
D. Take the tail of the horse between
the hindlegs. and tie il by cord TO the
saddle girth.
&. Tie string arouud the horses ear
close to his head.
