. Farm, Garden and Household, Winter Care ot Stock. At the last meeting of the Bedford Farmers' Club the subject for discussion was " Winter Care of Stock." Mr. James Wood advocated warm stables as a matter of economy. A certain part of the food used by cattle is consumed in keeping them warm, and if they are well sheltered less food is required. Attention should be paid to ventilation. Cows require a large quantity of food, as their digestive apparatus acts best when the stomach is distended. With horses it is different; they should be fed at regular intervals a sufficient quantity to keep them in good condition. but not enough to make them "paunchy." MV .Tneotli TTftinos \ronld not obiect to stables where it would freeze occasionally. Did not think the cows would be' less healthy on that account. He favored feeding grain to both horses and tattle, since hay alone was the most gxpeusive sort of food. Mr. Godfrey Haines preferred warm atables and advocated taking good care of stock in winter. He especially mentioned the propriety of feeding horses regularly three times a day enough to keep them in good condition, and said that horses fed all thev would eat were worthless to drive on the road. Mr. Joel Mable spoke at length oi keeping cows and horses in warm, ventilated stables, whioh should be by no means in a basement. Would face the cows and horses toward windows and let them see the prospect, instead of facing toward a bla?k wall, or making them Btare at one another in parallel lines. Keep cows happy and they will give more milk and better milk. Pure water WUM esptcittu; uawury, vwruw for horses, and beets aud carrots for cows, he considered indispensable for good winter feedirg. Turnips he thought little of estimating that they were worth just what they cost, viz., the labor of gathering. He objected particularly to the use of brewers' grains. Mr. Oliver Green advocated warm stables and careful treatment; he would keep cows in stables in severe weather nearly all the time; and would cousider it an advantage to have water slightly warmed for their drinking iu excessively cold weather. In sunny weather would let them mn out several hours a day. Wuat he thought most injurious was a sudden change from heat to cold. Mr. Stephen Wood agreed with the general view of those who liavo spoken in regard to good stabling and proper care. He had made it his practice to have cows aat up the hay clean by saving the refuse formed in the mangers and once a week or so putting brine ou it. He favored a vat iety of food for cattle, instead of giving them stalks till the stalks are gone and then hay tiH the hay is gone. He spoke at length of the improvements iu agricultural science. The President spoke of the plan of keeping cattle in stables throughout the day, and said'the tendency now was to let them run out more than a few years ago. Ho mentioned cases of farmers who maintained that their herds had been injured by too much care and too high feed. He favored liberal nse of sowed corn fodder. PoUonlng Micep by Dipping* r\ - e l i /-i.i vjnc ui uir?bc cuiuuiuii uuu IUUU cuuees for mortality and destruction of sheep in dipping and suffocation in handling, is the use of metallic preparations foi the cure of scab, and killing the parasites that abound in the fleeces. Arsenic and corrosive sublimate are substances which enter largely into the composition of these killing mixtures, and we learn that a well-known, largely-advertised nostrum, which is principally composed of arsenic, was used on an occasion when forty animals were rendered lileless in somewhat less than four hours. Sheep farmers frequently turn newly-dipped sheep back to the same pastures and localities which abound in the parasites which torment them, and newly-clipped sheep are allowed to mingle with lambs without any precaution being taken to guard against the passage of the lice, ticks, 4c., from one to the other, 'llius the operation, confined to ewes only, lavorf the parasites seeking greater warmth in the thicker and closer fleeces of the lambs. When ewes are dipped, it would be well to dip lambs also, and in nsing a compound, that selected should be one not essentially for bleaching and cleaning the wool, but for its power ol attaching itself to the fibres of the fleece, and thus rendering it untenable by the parasites. There is, however, some difficulty in the choice of materials which will aflect this, and more sc when the bath is used, as all substances cannot bo conveyed in a watery solution. For this reason we advocate the more effective, although Blower, plan ol pouring, with which everv sheep-far mer is thoroughly conversant. P>y this, many agents, perfectly harmless to the sheep, buKjJeadly poisonous to the par esites, may he useil, conveying comforl to the animalR, effecting a more speed} cure, ami preventing not only the loss of flesh, which is never regained, but nlso the loss of the animals themselves, ? Scottish Farmer. How to Feed Horse*. The Vermont Farmer says : " Mr Emery, of Worcester, after trying sev eral ways of feeding horses, hus Bettlec' down on the following : He feeds whoh bay with six quarts of bran and corr meal, half and half, twice a day, wet. He has fed 60 for the last year. His horses look tiuely, and ho works theni hard, but at the same time he is a careful man with a team. Ho intends to have them fed at stated times, ouee in twelve hours." This is much better than feeding meal alone, as the coarse bran separatosthe particles of meal and prevents its packing so hard as it otherwise would in the stomach of the horse, but even this is not a safe way with ull liorseR. The concentrated food should be more divided with coarse fodder. Young and vigorous horses may stand it well for a few years, as their digestion is more active, but bran and meal mixed in eciual portions is too comnaet for proper digestion in most horses, and they will, in a short time, be affected with colic and many other stomach complaints. The omnibus lines in cities have had experience on a large scale, and find the only safe -way is to feed meal, or meal aud bran, mixed with about an equal weight of out hay or straw. This gives abundance of strong feed, and also bulk, leaving the contents of the stomach in a porous condition. Death from Ether.?The wife of James II. Crie, cashier of the freight department of the Old Colony.Railway, died in Boston in a dentist's office while under the influence of ether. Only a small quantity had been administered, wren she wcnt into oonvulsions and died soon after, % i Policy Toward Spain and Cuba. A Cabinet Dl?cu??lou?President Grant in Favor of Mediation. At the meeting of the American Cabinet the Secretary of State laid before the President all the telegrams received and sent in regard to the capture of the Virginius, the execution of Varona, Jesus del Sol, Cespedes and Ryan, and the instructions sent to Minister Sickles at Madrid, and Consul Qeneral Hall! at Havana. He said that he was unable as this time to formally present the matter, as the State Department was without official dispatches, owing to the interruption of telegraphic facilities between Havana and Santiago deCuba, but that he hoped in a few days to be in possession of such details as would enable the government to act definitely. This allusion to the matter was followed by general remarks on the part of all the members of the Cabinet. The Secretary of State said that it was impossible'now to fairly judge the question, , but, as would appear from the cable dispatches received, the Spanish government had no intention or desire to , assumo the responsibility which the grievousness of the act presented. As \ he was advised, the government at Madrid were without details. All that had been sent abroad was from Washington, based on the press dispatches, , and what were undoubtedly official dis, patches from the commanding officer at I Santiago de Cuba to the Captain General at Havana. So far as the Spanish . Legation was concerned he was assured that Admiral Polo knew no more of the details than the State Department, i U ntil the State Department was in posi session of a detailed statement he was . not prepared to offer the matter for for. mal consideration. ( The summary execution of Ryan, , Yurona and others was then talked of, and the Secretary of State said that the only explanation he could give for what might now appear as an unwarranted execution was that the parties shot had been adjudged gnilty of treason, and the sentence of the Spanish govern! ment passed upon them some time ago. j Tf wAo on a1/1 Wnanicli low no mnnli ! ' ?i nai mi viu k/^uuiou lan, u.? uiuvu iu force to-day as it was forty years ago, and those summarily executed, he had . no doubt,were oa the list of condemned traitors or open enemies of the Spanish i government, and, their identity being I proved, the military officer at Santiago j had no discretion in the matter, but . carried out the decree of his govern- ! ment. It was nothing new ; merely the ; enforcement of a decree based upon old Spanish law. Coming back to the \ j questions whether the seizure was legal ; or illegal, whether the Virginius was in every way protected by tier register and clearance papers, whether the parties on board were destined for a regular port, as he had already stated, these 1 matters could only be known when the State Department had received 6uch particulars as the magnitude of the case demanded. The President said he had read in the press dispatches the statement that eighty Cuban insurgents, captured as prisoners of war, had been shot on the . held, end, while the report lacked confirmation, he was prepared to hear of its confirmation after what had already occurred in Cuba, and he was satisfied ' that the Spanish government did not and would not approveof such butchery. , It was a matter, however, which an en, lightened government could not overlook, if, indeed, this method of warfare 1 was necessary to the support of the Spanish Republic, individually he could , not wish such a government prosperity. , If the Spanish people, in their effort to establish a republican form of govern, ment, could not control their authorities iu Cuba, then, iu the interest of t humanity, he thought it time to intert fere?not to encourage the struggling Cubaas nor embarrass the Spanish Ret public in any way, but wholly in the , interest of civilization and humanity. , Such a precedent has already been es t laoiisneu. iuy attention nas recently . been called to this, and I refer the mat" ter to tlio Secretary of State. A Hard Case. [ The postmaster at Atlanta, Georgia, whose son, employed in his father's office, recently absconed, being a defaulter, is peculiarly au unfortunate man. A local paper says in regard to L him:?" If there ever was an honest man I upon earth it is James L. Dunning, the p father of the unfortunate young man. Some years ago Mr. McLaughlin, then his money clerk, absconded, leaving a deficit in his accounts of several thousand dollars. Quietly and heroically the old man resolved himself to make good what had been lost to the governj ment by his employee. Being comparatively poor the government allowed him to commence payment of the selfimposed debt by installments. Since then no man has seen James L. Dunning at any public place of amusement; no one has seen him spend a single dol[ ' lar for any luxury. With a stern resolve . i to wipe out the stain, he has taken from t his salary every spare dollar, which otherwise would have gone to make comfortable his declining life and smooth his pathway down the hill, and devoted it to the redemption of his obi ligation. And now, after years of de. privation and struggle, when he had j paid all but about StfOO of the defalcal tion and was almost free from the bond? ' age of the debt, he finds himself, gray l haired and enfeebled, brought faee to , faee with another defalcation, and this i 1 time?by his own son." A Terrible Bungle. Tuo execution oi waueni wiuiiuas port, Pa., furnishes a story replete with 1 i the deepest interes t. The culprit, a ' powerfully built, unscrupulous heartless rnau, who has lived under tifty different aliases, was brought to the scaffold for the murder of au aged couple, from beneath who^e roof he took about seventy thousand dollars, part of a hoard accumulated by ?'.he old people after years of labor and economy, but whose distrust of mankind induced ! them to personally guard their wealth. He entered their log cabin, dispatched with a huge club the faithful dogs, brained the woman and hacked the old man almost to pieces. Securing the coin, he hastened to bury it, refusing to reveal its hiding place to the officers of justice. At the bar lie sneered at the evidence, laughed at the solemnity \ of the Judge and betrayed the worst symptoms of human depravity when condemned to death, remarking that he j was troubled only at the uncertainty of | whether his victims were in heaven or the darker regions. After being partially strangled he fell to the ground and had a second time to be placed on the trap. On the scaffold he ravei like a lunatic, cried to God for mercy when he first fell, and finally died like a b&f oonecioui brute, I Cheaper Telegraphing. Low rates and qniek dispatch increase all kinds of business that relates to the carrying of passengers, freight or letters. If the rates are too high, neither corn i nor grain can be sent from the extreme West to the seaboard, and only a lim- ] ited quantity from places leBS remote. Not one passenger would go to Kansas i or California where ten now go, if the stagecoach were substituted for the t railroad, the fure remaining the same. The actual cost of transportation de- 1 creases as the quantity of merchandise ! and number of passengers increase. If j there are two railroads of the same length, the one carrying double the quantity of freight of the other, its ex- 1 penses will not be fifty per cent, greater, for many of them bear no relation to j the amount of business?as the general . office expenses, grading, fencing, ties, and culverts. In the mail service especially, by the 1 greater dispatch afforded ny rauroaas and the reduced postage, the mailed ' letters have increased within a few vears ' from forty millions to five hundred mil- 1 lions, while the deficit of revenue is no 1 greater in proportion to the number of letters transmitted at three cents than at the former average postage of 15 cents. This principle applies still more strongly to the telegraph ; the rates^are so high that few can afford to use* it, although the gain in time ovex the mails is so great. Abroad, at low rates, it is generally used. In England its use has more than doubled within three years since the telegraph has been eonnccted with the post-office, while here the number of telegrams has increased less than one-third. The average rate for telegrams in England is 25 cents; in all Europe, 3i cents ; in America, 73 cents. The Postmaster-General recommends the union of the telegraph with the post-office bv the purchase and operation of the lines ef telegraph. "Wliile nil admit the greater aheapncss and more free use of the telegraph abroad, some oppose this plan on the ground that under a republican form of government the telegraph cannot be managed as well as under a monarchy. If this be true, and the people are unable to ; manage their own affairs, then give us a king and aristocracy at once. We do not participate in these fears, and the sooner this question is understood and decided the better. Others oppose this plan on account of the great outlay involved in the purchase and extension of the line ; and a plan has been proposed by committees of the Senate and House of Eepresen tatives in Congress to wnom tne BUDjecc was referred, by which telegrams will be received a9 letters now are at all post-offices, and at all telegraph offices, and transmitted between the offices by parties famishing and operating the lines at rates fixed by Congress, not exceeding one cent a , word for telegrams transmitted 500 , miles or less by day, and 1,000 miles or less by night; a reduction of about 50 ; per cent, of the present rates?25 cents for n night telegram from St. Louis to New York or New Orleans. This plan : relieves the post-office from the necesi sity of purchasing and operating lines, while it utilizes all its existing facilities, and places the telegraph at .once . within the reach of all classes. This j system is in exact analogy with the ! ' present postal service; all correspond- j ! ence will be received aud delivered | through the post-office, the mailed letter transmitted by contract with railroad and stagecoach contractors, the telegraph letter by contract with the telegraph compuny. The benefits of ! this plan are evident; it involves no J constitutional questions, and can be 1 easily, quickly and without cost to the General Government carried into practical operation.

A private letter received in New York from a trustworthy source, dated Havana, says : " An official telegram was ! received ftt the Palace from Puerto Principe of an engagement between a ; Spanish force and a column of insnr; gents under command of Sangtiiti, in which the insurgents were severely beaten, losing twenty killed and eighty taken prisoners. The Spanish commander caused all the prisoners to be shot on the field of battle. The Governor of Puerto Principe, npon hearing it, took the command away from the Spanish commander and arrested him, ; telegraphing the event to the Captaiu| General. The latter immediately telegraphed to Puerto Principe, causing the commander to be reinstated, and ordering the Governor to Havana.

The First-Born'i Death. The following beautiful extract from Dr. J. G. Holland's new book, "Arthur ? Bonnicastle," will be read with a deep i and tender interest by all parents, and 1 especially l?y those whose soul the iron has entered : " I stand in a darkened room before i a little casket that holds the silent form of my first-born. My arm is around the wife and mother, who weeps over the lost treasure, and cannot, till tears have their way, be comforted. I had not thought that my child could die? that my child could die. I knew that ' other children had died, but I felt safe. We lay the little fellow close by his grandfather at last; we strew his grave with flowers, and then return to our Baddened home with hearts united in Borrow as they had never been united in joy, and with sympathies forever opened toward all who called to a kindred ?rief. I wonder where he is today, in what mature angelhood he stands, how he will look when I meet him, how he will make himself known to me, who has been his teacher 1 He was like me ; will his grandfather know l~*? 0 T -?-?? ??n naaaa ftiinVinir nf 111 HI f A UOTC1 wau VVHWW bim as cared for and led by the same hand to which my own youthful fingers clung, and as hearing from the fond lips of my own father the story of his father s eventful life. I feel how wonderful has been the ministry of my children?how much more I have learned from them than they have ever learned from me?how by holding my own Btrong life in sweet subordination t# their helplessness, they have taught me patience, self-sacrifice, self-control, truthfulness, faith, simplicity, and purity. v " Ah ! this taking to one's arms a little group of souls, from the hand of God, and living with them in loving companionship through all their stainless years, is, or ought to be, like living in heaven, for of such is the heavenly kingdom. To no one of these am I more indebted than to the boy who went away from me before the world had touched him with a stain. The key that shut him in the tomb was the only key that could unlock my heart, and let in among its sympathies the world of sorrowing men and women who mourn because their little ones are not. "The little graves, alas! how many they are 1 The mourners above them, how vast the multitude ! Brothers, sisters, I am one with you. I press your hands, I weep with you, I trust with you, I belong to you. Those waxen, folded hands, that still breast, so often pressed warm to our own, those sleepbound eyes, which have been so full of love and life, that sweet, unmoving, alabaster lace?ah! we have all looked upon them, and they have made us one and made us better. There is no fountain which the angel of healing troubles with his restless and life-giving wings so constantly as the fountain of tears, and only those too lame and bruised to bathe miss the blessed influence." Then and Now. John B. Gough,in a late lecture, said: Fifty years ago we burned the same materials for light as they did 5,000 yeais ago. The lamps and torches that illuminated Belshazzar's feast were as brilliant and were probably of the same materials as those at the earlier receptions at Washington. The same might be said of locomotion. Nimrod and Noah traveled at about the same rate of speed as our fathers. He remembered traveling between Albany and Utica, and making three miles an hour straight through. Now in twenty-seven hours we could pass the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, and 100 miles into Virginia. In the old times they lived for love, and for a plain, simple home with all its happiness uud comforts. In the then the marriage relation with its hallowed influence was the offspring of Jove ; in the now it wus made a matter of barter and sale, and family life was metamorphosed into a wretched struggle for fashionable display. One man married to increase his respectability, one to please his friends, another brought a wife home to spite his relatives, and another married to procure service without being obliged to pay for it. One girl married because she did not like to work, and wanted to be supported in doing nothing but crochet and Berlin work, with ample time to go out. Ho sometimes saw Vmffprflina in flin efrpof xritli abundance of finery, cheap jewelry, and head-gear; and, speaking of female head-gear, he might say that no one could break the second commandment in worshipping it, because it was unlike anything in the heavens above or the earth beneath. He knew it was the fashion to make old maids and old bachelors subjects of ridicule, but would it not be better to be laughed at : because you are not married, than never i to laugh at all because you nre married ? j If a girl was meek in her manner ; if i she was modest in the presence of gen| tlemen, or if she is kind to animals, she i was cut out for an old maid. Neatness, j modesty, thrift, order, and humanity j seemed to be the never-failing characteristics of that terrible creature, the | old maid. Hut, ho asked, were not some of the women whose existence | was a blessing to the world of this class ? i Take, for instance, Florence Nightingale, Miss Carpenter, Clara Barton, Miss Dix, and a host of others. Wo were Christians, and yet we worshipped the meanest of all gods, and bowed the knee to Mammon. The purse-bearing scoundrel was often honored, but the moneyless scoundrel was always despised. In some of our cities it was scarcely possible to convict a man with money of crime. He did not believe in hanging a man, but he asked did they ever hear of a poor mau who had three trials for murder? (Applause). The question was not one of right or wrong, guilt or innocence; but of wealth or poverty. Rest.?The best medicine in the world, more efficient in the cure of disease than all the potencies of the chemist's shop, are wurmth, rest, cleanliness, and pure air. Some persons make it a virtue to brave disease, " to i f ftcrji lip tta lUlJg an tuoj lau uiutg a iuvv or bend a finger," and it Bometimes succeeds ; but, in others, the powers of life are thereby so completely exhausted that the system has lost all ability to recuperate, and slow and typhoid fever sets m, and carries the patient to a premature grave.
