SALT FOR HoRsEs' FEEr.-Comulon salt alb
serbs moisture from the atmosphere, hence its
success for keeping the hard-bound hoofs of
horses moist The hoofs of some horses become
dry and ottentimes crack, thereby rendering
them lame, if the animals are driven on hard
roads. BY bathing the hoof and fetock joint
with a salt brine three times day, lameness
rom the above cause will be avoided. 1t is
common practice with some backsmiths to rasp
cracked hoofs in order to render them more
tough, but salt brine is far superior to rasping

No 0LD MAIDS IN JaPAs.-No SINGLE woman
are allowed in Japan Every man is allowed one
legal wife and as many second wives as his
means will allow him to support. The second
wives are selected by law frum the poorer class
of society, whose relatives are unable to main
tain. them. and the children are all adopted by
the legal wife, who is the only acknowledged
mother. The old rule is therefore reversed in
Japan, where, instead Of a boy not knowing his
own father, handreds do not know their own
mothers.

HE REPORT CoNTRADICTED.-Hu mphTey
| Griffith, a late candidate before the Anti =
Lecompton State Convention for Governor,
has called on us and stated that the report
referred to in the Union, yesterday, that he
was about to take the stump for the Admins
tration is not correct The rumor mad been
in circulation for some days, and we merely
gave expression to it, We observe that it
has reached Marysville also. The Express
Lecompton), referring yesterday to another
gentleman who had recently made speech
in opposition to the party with which he was
lately connected, remarked as follows


In short time another distinguished GEN
tleman who has heretofore acted with that
party, will take the stump for the true Demo
cratic ticket, and when he does it will be
discovered that they (he Ant.Lecompton

that the false and injurious report would not
have remained unanswered single dav if
Mr. Griffith had not been absent from home
and We also know that it is his intention to
take the stump AGAINST the Lecompton party

Gen. Cobos had been met by the forces from Oaxaca
at the town of Tehuipan, about thirty leagues from
Oaxaca, and that he had defeated them in regular
fight, after which he commenced forced march upon
the city of Oaxaca, and that he is before this time
probably in possession of the place. Oaxaca you will
see by the map, is but two hundred and fifty miles
from Tehuantepec, and it is presumed that Cobos will
continue his march upon that place Immediately.

We discussed the subject of the establish
ment of n Branch Asylum, during the session
of the last Legislature. So did other papers
in the State, and at one time there was a
prospect that bill, providing for such an
establishment, would be passed. Owing to
pressure of business on the hands of the
legislature the bill was permitted to lie on
the table, after having been favorably re-
ported upon by committee We have but
little doubt that the same bill or q similar
one can be passed during the coming session.
The necessity of a Branch Asylum is gener
ally conceded. Nobody, in fact, denies that
it is exceedingly difficult and very expensive
to transport lunatic persons from the northern
counties all the way to Stockton. The Asy
lum buildings at Stockton are too small for
the accommodation Of the fast accommodating
insane, and since additional room must be
made. it is far better that Branch Asylum
should be erected in a place convenient to
the mass Of the people The northern coun
ties demand this accommodation as matter
of justice to themselves. and they prefer the
location Of the Branch Asylum to be at Ma
rysville, as the most convenient point for
them in the north.


1t was suggested to us, last winter, that
some of the rich landhoders of Marysville
might donate to the State the necessary
grounds for the site, and we would take this
OCCASION to re-suggest that it would not be at

the offer. If any liberal minded landed pro-
prietor feels inclined to make this donation
to the State, for the general benefit of the
country and the advancement of his own
city, our columns are open to shim for any
communication upon the subject. Such an
offer would, we think, settle the question, as
to the point of location. at once, because it
would be great saving to the State in the
purchase Of the grounds, which is very i'm
pOrtant item. Such donations have been
frequently made in other States, and the

SAGAoITY OF A DoG.-One day during
the recent sleighing, Mr.. Eber Hart, of Brgh-

to sleigh, partially loaded, for the city. The
horses took fright while standing without
driver, and ran away. A large mastiff owned
by Mr.. Hart saw the horses start, and gave
chase, pursuing for half mile before he over
took the runaways. He passed them and by
presenting himself in the track in front of
them, he endeavored to check their speed, but
to no purpose; they actually ran faster for the
barking of the dog. Failing in this, the dog
dropped out of the track, and following behind
he seized the reins, dragging upon the ground,
and did not relax his hold until the team stop
ped. After he had been drawn for some dis
tance, his pull became greater upon one line
than the other, which drew the horses towards
a fence, where they stopped. We are assured
that this was an actual occurrence as stated
