Divide the mass into sixteen doses one to
be given, in food, every night.


One of the best condiments that can be
given to any animal confined upon dry fod-
der is liberal feed of carrots as O condiment
or tonic or at any rate incidentally; they have
powerful and excellent effect producing
results which can not be accounted for by
their nutritive value alone. Other roots have
similar effects in less degree, and onions per-
haps in still higher degree than carrots.
So, too, various tonic herbs, seeds and roots
in small doses. Now, we claim use for tonic
medicines when the tonic of labor and other
drafts upon the system are wanting salt first:
then, moderate quantities of grain, and cook
ing the food; then, ginger, cayenne, etc., if
the food is not relished without, or a little
copperas in molasses given with cut-feed--
and have no doubt that when animals are
stall-fed, some such systematic dosing is not
only beneficial in maintaining the animals
health, but necessary in many cases in order
to gain the fullest amount of benefit from the
feed consumed.


When animals are at pasture there is not
the same need of tonics, though, back from
the sea coast, salt is always grateful and
useful. Especially on mountain pastures
cattle have access to many herbs of various
flavors, and the condition of the animals,
the sweetness and flavor of the milk and
quality of the beef, all are evidences of the
benefit they derive from this source The
theory of the "condiment SCHOOL, of feeding
is, that by means of various high favored
substances, TO supply the deficiency in hay
and grain provender of these flavors and
tonics, animals may be fed more naturally
and with greater profit. And, while we are
willing TO concede to them some truth when
they apply to this theory to the fattening OF
beef, &C., we still claim for other stock that
the simple food which they thrive so we'll
upon, and which supplies all the demands
of their systems, is all-sufficient.


The use of roots, and an occasional change
Of food, during winter feeding, with good
air and exercise is better than all the con-
diments that all the quacks in the country
! advertise as STOOD for cattle with great
flourish about the economy of its use.

In the Courier and Enquirer Of Saturday, August
Is, an article will be found which eays the creed
Of republicanism is that the constitution gives no
right to the general government to abolish slavery
in any of the States or Territories of the Union, and
Consequently it cannot confer any such right upon
any Territorial Legisature;' that lit is para
mount duty of the general government and the
object of its creation, to protect the States OF the
Confederacy in their right to establish and perpet
uate slavery that any attempt of Congress to abol-
sh slavery in the District of Columbia without
gross breach of faith that the negro is physical
ly, socially and morally in better condition as
slave in most Of the slave States than he would
be in state Of freedom;' and finally, that every
attempt on the part of persons not inhabitants of
such State to interfere with the institution where
it legally aud constitatonally exists, is a crime
against the Union ITSELF and that is is not only the
duty of all good citizens to frown down any such
attempt but, if necessary, to bear in defence
of the rights of every State to regulate it's inter-
nal affairs as to it may expedient.' To crown
ALL we are told that this is the creed of Seward
and Lincoln.


That is republioanism is it If James Watson
Webb should come into Ohio preaching 6uch re-
publicanism, he quickly would be told that it was
heresy and be ncontinently kicked into political
perdition without the benefit of clergy.

FHRnE BELFAST NEcHANIcA DRIVEN OUT OF TEXAS


If more evidence were wanting to prove the es-
Sential barbarsm of slavery, three of our Belfast
mechanics who have just arrived at the North from

give the testimony. One Of them has just arrived
here and the others are on their way. They were

While at work one day O few weeks since, shingl-
ing a building, they were interrupted by several
armed rufians, who told them they were wanted
up town, They dropped their tools and obeyed,
and were taken to grog shop where a large num-
ber we're assembled. Here they were kept from
nine O'Clock in the morning till four in the after
noon. A meeting had been held in the meantime
and a committee chosen, who told them they must
leave the state forthwith They demanded to
know the charges against them, protesting that
they had never interfered with slavery or slaves.
But they were told they were northerners, and
their presence would not be tolerated in the state
They then pleaded for time to settle up their bu-
siness, alleging that one Of their employers was
absent and no settlement could be had till his re-
turn. The committee allowed them just four days
to pack up and get off, notifying them that they
would be mObbed if they were found in the state

days, and their employer did not return, He was
in debt to them $500, and but one of them had

it reaches the border. The s. in the signature of

RECORD YOUR PArESIs.-We were shown
letter, yesterday, received by Messrs Maeklot
Corbin, from the Commissioner Of the General
Land Office, advising them that certain location
Of 80 acres Of land in this county had been can
celled in 1853, for the reason that the land was
swamp land. This land was afterwards patented
to the State.


The returns from the General Land Office to
Scott county show the entry to have been made
by the assignee Of land warrant The locator
conveyed to third party soon after, who has
paid taxes ever since. Khe commence with the
book OF original ent ies at the Recorders Office,
he can trace good title to the grantee before
named, and yet. upon examination, it appears
that he has no title.


From this it is evident that there is no csTta.-
" in any title, unless the original patent il re-
corded. A party holding Q certificate oflocstion
may to all appearances have good title, and yet
his location have been cancelled for some reason
years before Parties who have only certificates
Of location should without delay, present them
for patents, and when received they should be
recorded. This is an important item 70 land
owners. and they may save much trouble here
after by giving it attention n-Davcnport Dem.

Quebec Correspondence Of the Spectator.


The Grand Trunk cars will soon run
through the Victoria Bridge, they say, at
the rate of twenty miles an hour, even if
they do not already come up to that speed.
Five minutes, therefore, will suffice to cross
the st. Lawrence at Montreal. I left the
Point st. Charles station yesterday at nine,
and may say word concerning my first
trip through the tube. A very few minutes
suficed to bring the train upon the great
causeway which runs out in deep water, and
here it was evident how wise provision
this plrt of the work is for holding fast the
bordage ice. In the bays between the en-
bankment and the shore the ice is frozen
tight, the line where the current sweeps past
it being well defined.


With great rush, the locomotive as
cends the incline, and with fierce scream,
dashes into the bridge proper, which is so
long that the lamps are lit into the passen-
ger cars before the journey is commenced.
l had previously taken my stand upon the
platform, outside of the door, but would
recommend no future passenger to follow
my example, for gusts of wind, charged
with light ashes from the furnace, and with
snow, into which the steam from the engine
had been condensed, howled past my ears,
and rudely assailed my face. The din was
something terrific, as if made by the clank-
ing of ten thousand great steam hammers.
Every now and then, when passing the holes
punched here and there through the iron
plates, cCdld see enough to be aware of
the great speed at which we we're going.


When we passed from one tube to an
other-and the space between them is, in
this cold weather, enough for a thin man to
squeeze his body through-there was mo-
mentary illumination, and in two or three
Of those places saw men or boys clinging
close to the side of the tube, with look Of
mingled wonder, fear and awe, as the train
dashed past. There was little slackeniDg
of our speed towards the centre of the
bridge, but when we got halt way over and
commenced the descent, it was accelerated,
and the brake had to be applied little.
Soon we emerged into the open air, and
could look back at the Cyclopean masonry
which, as at the other end, guards the por-
tails of the marvellous Victoria Bridge.
