low These instructions you need
never to go to any expense to de-
horn your cattle which are now
commencing to grow up. Buy a
five cent stick of caustic potash,

first sign of starting to grow on
the calf, wet them with a little
water and rub them over with the
caustIc stick, and the calf will
never know that nature ever in
tended that it should have horns."
G. G. Brewer secured judgments
in Squire Mitchell's court last
Monday against J. &c r. Lambert,
DIR. j. +. York and Williams q
Campbell, to recover money obtain
ed by the defendants in these suits
on judgments obtained by them in
Kentucky, they having transferred
accounts against said Brewer to
parties in the State above named.
Judgment was rendered against the
parties named in accordance with a
Law passed by the last Legislature
of this State, which seems to be
very unpopular as well as unjust.
We understand the cases will be APP
pealed and the constitutIonality of
the law tested.
