iiow to asc'sktain the age of
houses.
An esfoom id correspondent requests
1 us tn nnhlish ditvrlr ,11s for ascertaining
! i!ie age of horses. The following answer
' must suffice for this month?when we
i" find a better we will give it:
In purchasing a horse, not the least im
i portant matter is to be able to tel! h s age.
i'ln transfers of ordinary farm and saddle
; horses great impositions are often practised
rfupon the credulous and uninitiated purcha
scr. To prevent this to as great an exLjtent
as possible for the future is the object
11 of this communication to the public. The
. j most certain means of ascertaining the age
jofa horse is to examine the changes
[ which take place with the teeth. The
,! twelve front teeth begin to shoot in about
! two weeks after the colt is foaled. These
|1 are called colt teeth and are shedat differ.
'ent periods and replaced by others.?
1 < When the colt is about two years old the
! | four middieones come out; in about anothl
cr year four others are lost?and in another
year or when the horse is four &, a
[ half years old the four last are shed.?
s These last arc replaced by what are called
corner teeth. They are hollow and have
I a black mark in their cavity. They are
, scarcely visible and the cavity deep, when
? the horse is four and a half years old, thev
begin to fill?when he is six and a half,
a and the mark continually diminishes and
contracts, till the horse is seven or eight
years old, when ihe cavity. fills and the
black mark is obliterated. The horse acquires
his canine teeth or tushes about
his filth year. The two in the lower jaw
five or six months after. They continue
very sharp pointed six.?At tan. tho
upper seem blunted, worn out and long,
, riv irrn leaving them gradually; tho barer
,' th v are the older 1 lie horse. From ten
' to fourteen it is difficult to tell the horse's
age?:t is sufficient then to know that he
isold, and under the hard treatment which
is given to horses gene-rally the conclusion
will be a safe one that he is worth
but little. Equestrian.
i
jr to stop washes and fill gullies.
It is quite astonishing to see many farl
mere much injured by washes which might
d be stopped by very little trouble if taken
f early, or if the right plan were pursued.
8 Horn stalks, brush, loose stones, old lows,
or almost any kind of rubuish thrown into
ditches made by collections of running
, water will have a salutary effect in prer
venting further violence, and frequently in
t stopping them entirely. Locusts trees
planted iii gullies will soon take strong.
- root and eventually prevent further depredation.
In addition to the adva-tage
q of putting an end to the wash in a few
years the farmer will "have a delightful
, ' - v >. " *AI
. : >
shadfc tor his stock and valuable timbei
trees on his farm. Wo have known Hrxd:
Grass (Rr.d Top sown in washes, & in a
year or two the roots had taken such
strong bold as to pervent more injury.?
After noticing these items each agriculturists
will be the better able to judge of
the extent of the washes and gullies in his
fields, and apply the mustsuitable remedy.

burg: macomb and macdoxougei.
As Macomb, J.'ktr Macdonough, is now
numbered with the dead, those who take
porper interest in the American Army and
Navy may be gratified with a brief notice
of the brilliant services rendered to their
country by the forces under their comjmand,
at the battles of Plattsburg and
! Lake Cham plain. In untieing the events
joflS14; Ilaie refers to the drafts of the
; troops taken from the Champlain frontiers
for the purpose of reinforcing the troops
under Drown and Scott, engaged along
the Niagara frontiers. He adds -The
march of the troops from Piattsburg
having left that post almost defenceless,
the enemy determined to attack it by
j land at the same time to attempt the destruction
of the American flotilia on Lake
j Ohamplain. On the 3d of September,
Sir George Provest, the Govenor General
of Canada, with an army of 14,000 men,
most of whom had served in tfib wars of
Europe, entered the territories of the United
States. As soon as -his object was
ascertained, Brigad'er Gen. Macomb,
the .commander of l'lattsburg, callgd to his
aid (he militia of New York and Vermont,
who, wi h alacrity and without distinction
. of party, obeyed the call.
[ On the Gth, the.cucmy arrived at Plattsburg,
which is situated near Lake Champlain,
on the northerly bank of the small
river Sarariac. On their approach the
American troops who were posted on the
'opposite bank, tore up the planks of the
bridges, with which they formed slight
breastworks, and prepared to dispute the
passage of the stream. Several attempts
to cross it were made by the enemy, but
; they were unifiirmly defeated. From this
i time until the 1 Jth the British army, were
employed in erecting batteries, while the
j American forces were every hour aug
: mcnted by the arrival of volunteers and
| militia.
Early in the morning of that day, the
British squadron, commanded by the
Commodore Downie, appeared off the
j harbor of IMattsburg, where that of the
I United States,commanded bvcommodore
I Macdonough, lay at anchor prepared for
I battle. The former carried inety-five
'guns, and was manned with upwards of
! 1000 men; the latter carried eighty six
guns, and was manned with 820 men.
At nine o'clock the battle commenced.
?Seldom has the ocean witnessed a more
, furious encounter than now took place on
'the bosom of this transparent and peaceful
lake. At the same moment, the enemy
on land began a heavy cannonade upon

info.the water, they received a
destructive fire from the militia, and dead
bodies floated d >wn the stream literally

At half past eleven, the shont of victory,

AWFUL MURDER OF A YOUNG WOMAN.
Yesterday afternoon a most fiendlike
murder was committed in the Cambridge
alms house, (Cambridge.port, pn~the person
of a young woman named Sarah Stevenson,
by a man named William H.
Britton. He plunged a huge carving knife
in between her right shoulder and breast,
clear through her heart and Jungs, and
out under her Iefl shoulder blade.
Britton, as a pauper, became an inmate
of the Alms House in September; 1840,
being aged and somewhat infirm. He
possessed some literary acquirements, and
was employed as a teacher to the children
in the establishment. In June last. Miss
Stevenson, then laboring under a painful
disease, became an inmate of the house,
and after 6he had improved in health in
some degree, she undertook to learn to
write under the instructions of Britton.?
lit consequence of the familiar intercourse
naturally arising thus, Britton conceived
a violent passion for her, and proposed to
marry her.
She de clined on account of his age nnd|
inability l? support a family. lie pressed}
his suit, and she laid the subject- before >
Mt. Valentine, the excellent sope.rinien- j
'dent, who at once advised her t<? avoid J
Brilion as much as she cu.ulJ, .and mid her, j
whenever he entered her room,..to leave?
it, and come into his private apartment.? i
.She acted upon this advice for some weeks. I
On Sunday morning he entered her room, |
and she then left it, attd went into one qc-j
copied by two other women...
lie did not immediately follow her,' and
she began to read t.? lior companions from,
a New Testament, which Mr. Yjiie'hiinej
had presented to liei1. While thus eriga-'j
ged Britlon entered, and said to the other!
two women, "is this your .room?" Before .
they returned any definite answer lie drew,
the carving knife ftooi under his shirt hn-j
$om, advanced to the deceased, seized
her round the body and flung her on a .bed.
One of the women caught hold of him,1
hut he turned upon her with the uplifted
knife, like a tiger, and she quailed before,
him. The other woman then grasped him t
round the body buf was driven off in the
same manner as the first one. The de-,
ceased in the meantime was exclaiming?
4,D??n'l kill met Don't kill me!" He first
made a violent pass at her throat, but she
oartlv stoned the Inife with her rioht
* ~ " 0 " T
hand in which it cut a horrible gash, four;
inches long, hot only barely scatched her
throat. He then struck at her as above
stated, and drove ihe knife clear through
the body.
In the spas nodie agony of the moment,
she sprang from the bed,, advanced towards
the door, and fell (fend on the
threshold. .Mrs. Valentine ha'rl rushed
up to her assistance, and as she fell, bent
over t > raise ber, b.it Britten also struck
at her, and forced her to keep back.?
"Murder" was cried in every quarter of
the building, and reached the ear of Jus.
Forrister, in the yard, who ran up stairs,
and seized Britton while in the act of
bending over his murdered victim. When
seized, be dropped the hand like a child.
A corroner's inquest was immediately
helo, and a verdict of wilful murder returned.
After a sh ?rt examination before '
Justice Chamberlain, at which lie confess- i
ed the deed, lie was conveyed to the jail
at East Cambridge.
The deceased was a native of Ireland, !
about twenty years , of age?quite handsome,
and very, intelligent, add-exceedingly
desirous of mental improvement.? '
She was much respected on account of
her excellent conduct, notwithstanding
her poverty.
Briiton is 57 years of age, a native of;
Halifax, N. S., tun of which port he sailed
many years as master of a vessel.?'
During the last war he tvns taken in an
American privateer, commanded by Cn'pt.
Crowningsliield, and carried in a prisoner,
at *alem. He tvas a widower, his wife
having been dead nine years, antl during
this period he has also buried two womengrown
daughters.

him to college. There lie applied himself 1
so closely to his books, and became so 1
distinguished n scholar, that his instructors
predicted that he would make a very
eminent man. After he graduated he stu- '
died law. And when entered upon the
practice of his profession, his mind was
so richly stored with information, and so
highly disciplined by his previous dili- r
