THE WATERFORD NEWS AND GENERAL ADVERTISER MARCH 21, 1802. flgnculturr Seirttcl. Jjoctvin OUT-KOOR RELIEF EXPLANATION. A note was read from Mr. Robert W.

Dower, P.L.G., stating that he did not recommend a man named Hallahan, from Villierstown, for out-door relief, which appeared in the report of the proceedings of the board on the A'eic of last week, and referred to Mr. Mahony, relieving officer of that district. The reporter begs to stnte that he is not aware how such a mistake occurred, but, perhaps, he might have inadvertantly inserted Mr. Dower's name in his notes, when his letter was read in reference to John Barry, suggesting to the board to extend outdoor relief to him and family for another month. Further, reporter wishes to inform the board of guardians and Mr.

Dower that he has not done so wilfully or knowingly, and that at all times he has been most careful in correctly conveying to the public their proceedings. He considers acting otherwise would be most dishonourable on his part, and would render him unworthy of public confidence ASSIZES NEfTS. Wexford. Michael Ryrne, Johanna Byrne, Michael Ryan, Anne Ryin, and three others, were indicted for a riot and assembling in New Ross on the 11th of January last. Michael Byrne, who is deaf and dumb, was not proceeded against.

A witness deposed that he saw a great crowd collected, in the midst of which was the dummy" with a stick raised in his hand, and Michael Ryan was bleeding profusely from his head that witness took the stick out of the dummy's hand, and that then Ryan struck the latter. Witness saw Anne Ryan seize the dummy by his hair, whereupon Johanna Byrne, the sister of the dummy, struck Aune Ryan with a stone. The melee then became general. Counsel for prisoners submitted that neither of the counts of the indictment was sustained, that the object was mutually to assail, instead of to assist each other. The jury acquitted all the prisoners.

The Chief Baron said that the conduct of the magistrates, in this case, had been very reprehensible in committing all the prisoners, upon two short informations, without any sufficient investigation that a very disgraceful occurrence had taken place in the town of New Ross, which should not have passed unpun'shed, but which passed ithmit resortin? to that of the wife, who, when the case had closed, again renewed her appeals on behalf of the prisoner. The jury convicted him, and he wa sentenced to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. Revolting Case. Jon Bowes, a most repulsive ooking man, was indicted for violating the person of Mary Kennedy, an interesting-looking child of nine years old. ihe child resided at iarnca-on-Suir with her mother and her tep-fafher.

It appeared that on three different days the prisoner had committed the offence charged, the detail of which are unfit for publication. The child's mother found a penny with her given her by tho prisouer when putting her to bed, and then discovered the injury she had sustained. Medical evidence was likewise given which sustained the case for the crown. The jury convicted the prisoner. His lordship, addressing mm, saia thai ne naa been convicted on clear evidence of a most abominable crime, which must have shocked every one who listened to its disgusting details.

It was horrible to think that any man would be capable of perpetrating such a crime against an innocent child. It was an offence for which the greatest punishment short of the extreme penalty of the law might inflict. His lordship then sentenced the prisoner to seven year' penal servitude. Rape. Thomas White was charged with violating the person of Margaret Downey on the 1st of September last.

The prisoner was a respectable farmer. He was married and had six children. On the day of the alleged offence, which was Sunday, his wife anil eldest child had gone to prayers. Prosecutrix, who was in his employment as child's inaM, and his younger children, remained at home. Prosecutrix deposed that prisoner brought her into his bedroom and committed the offence charged.

On cross-examination, it appeared that after the alleged occurrence, prosecutrix brought the prisoner water to wash with, and held bis horse while he saddled it and mounted upon it, he having left the house and rode into Tipperary before his wife returned. Tbe jury acquitted the prisoner. Rape. Wm. Slattery was charged with violating the person of Margaret Murphy.

The prosecutrix, a girl fourteen years old, deposed that she had been in the workhouse of Clonmel, whence she was taken into the service of prisoner' brother to oiind bis children was also employed at Beld work, weeding on the 12th July last, prisoner was ploughing, when be left the ploujh and came to prosecotril (where she was cutting dock leaves in the same field), and committed the offence charged prosecutrix met ber master, brother of prisoner, shortly alterwarcls, ana tola mm wui uau occareu remained two days iu the house and then went to a Airs.

The prisouer was acquitted. Infanticide Ellen Barrett was charged with tbe murder of ber infant child on the 31st of January List. Anne Cummins deposed that she knew the prisouer, who was unmarried observed the prisouer to present the appearance of being with child in the month of Janusry last; ou the 31st of that month went to the door of the prisoner's honse the door was pushed open by some children; beard the cry of sn infant told prisoner to take care of the child prisoner told ber to gather herself away witness went away, and soon returned with another woman named Mary Walsh they found the door fasteued called out to prisoner to open the door she said she would not a young man uamed Thomas llryaa hunt open the door foaud prisoner iu bed did not at first see the child, but afterwards found it bidden in the straw, nlleJ up in a dirty cloth fouud two wounds ou its head it was dead washed it. Dr. Edmnndsnn pioved that be bad examined the child that it had bcrn born alive, and that its death was caused by the two wounds in its bead.

Ou cross-examination be satd these wounds might have been occasioned in its birth, the mother being unassisted. Tiie jury convicted the prisoner of concealiug the birtb, and acquitted her on the charge of murder, and bis lordsbip sentenced her to six mouths' imprisonment witb hard labour. Robbbry in Cakrick. Two men uamed Creane and Maher were given in cha-gu tor stealing the sum of 120 from the person of alichat! Comertord, a dealer, on the 28th February last. Creane pleaded guilty aud was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and Maher (a very maa) was phuxd at the bar.

Mr. Johnstone appeared for the defence. Michael Comerford sworn I was ia Mr. Landy's public house ou the 23iu rebruary took some drink tnere; my hand was sore had a poultice to it Creane pretended that he could cure it he put a white powder on my hand shortly after 1 found that two ten pound notes were stolen from me.

Mr. Landy was called, and he proved that all the parties were drinking iu his house the day of Mr. Feeban's fuueral, where Couierford said be was goiug to. The Court directed the jury -qait the prisouer, as nothing was proved agaiust him.

DUX OAR VAN CORRESPONDENCE. PETTY SESSIONS Saturday, March 9, 1862. Before H. A. Fitzgerald and S.

IU Fitiiierald, Esqrs. breach of game laws. Thomas Mickey charged Michael Beary and Michael Cullinane with a breach of the game laws, on Sunday, the 2nd at Lackentiarra. George Keily, appeared for the prosecution, and John Hunt, for the defence. Mickey deposed that he remembered Sunday last; knew Michael Beary and Michael Cullinane had a farm at Lackendarra, a part of the property of Richard Chearnley, and saw the defendants on his land on Sunday he gave them no liberty to kill game thereon, Thomas Whelan deposed that he was caretaker on Mr.

Chenrnly's property at Lackendarra; knew Hickey's land saw Michael Beayr and Michael Cullinane coursing a hare on said land on Sunday they had four dogs with them one of the dogs was a half-bred greyhound they had wattles he was at some distance from them at the time, and when he catne up, asked Cullinane why were they coursing he replied that the coursing was short. Cross-examined by Mr. Hunt Were you on the lands at the time of their coursing Witness Yes, I was. How far were you from them Well, about half-a-mile I was on Michael Power's land at the time I saw them first, but I spoke to them on Hickey's land. Did you see them that day course a hare I asked them why they were coursing, and they told me their coursing was very short.

Did you see the hare before the dogs 1 I did not, but I saw the dogs in chase. Court Did you see them coursing a hare Witness said he did not see the hare, but saw them looking for game on Power's land. Mr. Hunt Did you see them coursing on Hickey's land? Witness: Yes, I was told it was Hickey's land. When were you told that? Witness: On Tuesday morning.

Did you bring dickey to the land on which you saw the parties coursing? Yes, sir, to the very spot. Did you see the hare in front of the dogs? I saw the dogs in full chase, but did not see the hare. Court to Hickey Did the last witness show you the land on which the coursing was carried on I Hickey said he did, the very spot. Mr. Hunt: Were these men ever cautioned not to seek for game on these lands? Hickey replied they were not.

Mr. Hunt addressed the court on behalf of his clients, and stated that they were merely passing from one side of the country to the other, for their amusement not with any intent of seeking for game and that none of witnesses could positively swear they saw the dogs in chase of a hare. In a second case the parties were charged with a similar oflence, and were prosecuted by Michael Power and Thomas Whelan, in which they were found guilty. The court sentenced Michael Beary and Michael Cullinane, in the first case, to pay 2 10s. each, and in the second case the patties were similarly fined, and in the event of not paying said fines, one month's imprisonment each in the county jail.

The parties requested a week for the payment, to which the court complied. WAGES. John Kith summoned Thomas Curreen for 15s, fur horse hire for three days, at five shillings per day less one shilling paid to his wife. Complainant de posed that he gave his horse for three davs to defen dant for which he charged 15s. out of which his wife got one shilling.

Court What do you charge a day for the horse Complainant I made no agreement, but the defendant often gave me five shillings a aay for my horse going to Uappoquin, and often gave ine ten for taking him to other places. On this ground I have charged him five shillings. He kept him out some part of a day and a night. Court, to Curreen Why don't you pay the man? Curreen: Why, gentlemen, 1 paid him for the horse to Kilmacthomas last harvest. I was reaping two davs for Mm and my wife was binding.

Court: That would not pay the man. Decreed fur 10s. with costs. BOARD OF GUAKUIA.VS Thursday. The Kifht lion.

The following very important resolution was car-lied Resolved That the poor law commissioners be requested to inform the board whether the poor rate made on houses which were unoccupied durioz the year, or time, for which the rats was made, should be abolished at the striking of the next rate; if not, and if such rate bo carried forward into the uew rata book, as an arrear against such bouses, what means are at the disposal of the guardians to recover such arrears. The Clerk was directed to request a reply from the commissioners. clerk's report. The Clerk (Mr. D.

James Graves, respecting the preservation of the old monuments in Fiiidnwn Church, shortly to be disused and dismantled, wasTead. Mr. Blackett stated that there need be no apprehensiuii of the ancient tombs, or any other interesting remains in connection with the old church, being treated as rubbish." Lord Bessborough had been speaking to him recently on the subject, and care would be taken that everything of the kind should be preserved. The members present expressed much gratification at the nature of Mr. Blackett's communication.

WALTER, EARL OF ORMONDE'S FOSTER BROTHER. The Rev. William Russell Blackett, Liverpool, (formerly of Balline, Piltown,) sent the following most interesting communication I find in an old note book of mine a record of an antiquity that may be interesting to some of your members. It is a tomb in the church of Bally-neale, a few miles from Carrick-on-Suir, in the County of Tipperary. There are several ancient tombs in the church, but the one I refer to lies near the east end of the north side, within the church, and in contact with the wall.

It is an altar tomb, and bears two coats of arms, which I have thus described That on the dexter side is quartered. 1st and 3rd four roses crosswise, within a border fleury 2nd and 4th a lion passant. The other is divided into six ouarterings, being the arms of the Shee family. I am not sure of the correctness of my descriptions where I have inserted queries but it is the inscription which gives its in terest to tins tombstone, tt runs, as usual, round the edge of the stone, and its four lines are as fol lows HIC JACET PHII.L1PPU3 QUEM ERFORO QUONDAM COLL ACT ANE US COMITIS ORMONDJS CUM UXO RE SUA MARGARITA SHEA asm 1650 que obiit io juno. Ballyneale is not more than four or five miles from Kilcash, where the great Duke of Ormonde is said to have been born.

Perhaps you will be able to find out something more of this Philip Comerford, who was so proud of his connexion as foster brother with the great Duke's grandfather. I am sorry I did not make some inquiries about him while I had the op portunity. Very likely tradition will still hold Hi remembrance a man so highly honoured. I send you this, besides its own interest, to show you that I have not forgotten, nor ceased to care about, the Society I have belonged to so long. Mr.

Prim remarked that as Mr. Blackett seemed not to be certain about the exact armorial bearings, he should say that what were described as lions pas sant, were more likely to be talbots or hounds, as such were a portion of the armorial insignia of the lomeriortl family. Ihe supposed rose3 were pro bably mullets. The various branches of the Comerfords differed much in the heraldic arrange ment of their arms. One bore auzure a buglchorn proper, between three mullets another gules on a cross engrailed or, live mullets.

Un some old monu ments (as in Callan church,) apparently through ignorance on the part of the sculptor, the mullets were so cut as to more nearly resemble roses. IRISH RUNIC INSCRIPTION. The Rev. James Graves said that the occurrence in Ireland of what on good authority was supposed to be a Runic inscription was a new fact, if well founded. At all events, the scorings of which rub biugs were laid before a former meeting as occur ring in the Lettered Cave" at Knockmore, county Fermanagh, deserve further investigation, and it is for that purpose they are now again forward.

It will be remembered that the rubbings alluded to were carefully made by a member of the Society, Mr. Peter E. Magennis, a schoolmaster under the National Board of Education, who lives at Derry gormellv, near the spot. Mr. Magennis's description of the mode which he adopted iu making the rubbings was then read, as also the letter of Professor George Stephens, one of the best authorities on ancient northern Runes.

Mr. Magennis also communicated the discovery of a primitive corn-rubber or crusher, beneath the surface of the ground, in Ins neighbourhood. Cuba a Paradise for Wives. Mr Taylor, in his interesting work, and the Mexicons, gives the follovriug amusing illustration of the re markable privileges possessed by married ladies in Cuba If you are a married man resident in Cuba, you cannot get a passport to go to the next town without your wife's permission in writing. Now it so happened that a respecsable brazier who lived at Santiago de Cuba, to go to Trinidad.

His wife would not consent by stratagi m. or, what is more likely, gave sometiouy something, to get nun a passport under false pretences. At any rate, he safe on board the steamer, when a middle-aged female, wcll- dresseu, but evidently arrayed in haste and with a face of crimson with hard running, came panting down to the steamer, and rushed ou board. Seizing upon the captain, she pointing out her husband, ho had taken refuge behind the other passengers at a respective distance; she declared that she had never consented to Ins going auav, and demanded that his body shauld be instantly delivered up to her. The husband was appealed to, but preferred staving where he was.

The captain produced the passport perfectly enregal, and the lady made a rush at thedocument, which ira- torn in half in the scuffle. All means failing, she made a sudden dash at her husbana, probably iiitendtug to carry him off by main force. He ran for his life, and there was a steeple-chase round the deck, among benches, bales and coils ot rope while the passengers and the crew cheered first one and then the other, till they could not speak for laughing. The husband was'all but caught once but a benevolent passenger kicked camp-stool iu the lady's way and he got a fresh start, which he utilised by climbing up the ladder. to the paddle box.

His wife tried-to follow him, but the shouts of laughter which tha black men raised at seeing her performances were too much for her, and she came down again. Here the cuptain interposed, and put'her ashore, where she stood like Black-eyed Susan tili the vessel was far from the wharf, not waving her lily hand, however, but shaking her clenched fist in the direction of the Family Economy. In fixed incomes, limited or not, it requires so much watchfulness not to overstep in the least degree the appointed sums required for each department ot household necessity, that it becomes a perpetual warfare between the inclination and the purse what is hard to bear is the unjust title acquired oy enaeovounng to Keep tree ot debt; a screw a miser close fisted cross and stingy a nara mm on nts lainny are the unenvied epithets showered on the perhaps unconscious victim. I cannot ask papa for that love of a bonnet he is always so cross when 1 aiK tor anything extra, exclaims an unthinking girl. I have spent more than my allowance this quarter, and there is that tiresome continually sending in his bill, which I ouht to have paid certainly before but my husband is so ill-natured, its no use asking ruin to sdvance ine the says the thoughtless wife; yet the hus band is neither cross nor ill-natured, but simply just.

It depends so much on the wife much more than on the husband as to how lar an income can or shall go. A man cannot be always refusing importunity frequently exacts what (hi judgment condemns; but, sooner or later, if the practice is persisted in, the woman must be the sufferer, not only in personal privations, but 111 the stings and sneers of a watchful world and to save a wife from this, a husband appears cold and calculating. On the 'Expenditure of Limited in the Ladies' Ireasurg. The Marriage of the Princess Alice The treaty between her Majesty and the Grand Duke of Hesse, relative to the marriage ot the I'rincess Alice, consists of nine articles. The expenses of the joint establishment are to be defrayed out of the appanage of the bridegroom, which is to be fixed at 40,000 florins a year, and the interest of the marriage pur- tion of the Princess Alice, which is 30,000.

Arti cles 4, 5, and 6, provide for the investment of her Royal Highness's marriage portion, and for its disposal in case of there being issue or otherwise. By the 7th article her Majesty promises to secure to her daughter from the time of her marriage the annual sum of 6,000, to be received by commissioners named by the QueeD, fur the sole and separate use of ihe Princess. The Grand Dukeof Hesse engages by the 8th article to secure to her Royal Highness, iu the event of the death of his son, a jointure, together with a residence at Darmstadt and the interest of her marriage portion. Should her Royal Highness become Grand Duchess of Hesse, she is to receive the same allowance that former grand duclusses have enjoyed. The ratifications of this treaty are to be exchanged as soon as possible." Two gentlemen, noted for their fondness of exaggeration, were discussing the fare at different hotels.

From it we make the following amusing extracts 6 tub beginning of the business the whippers-in. At five o'clock Ministers arrive, and in the bustle and noise of the House the Speaker puts a question that no one hears or heeds. This is called moving for unopposed returns. Questions were sometimes put and answered without notice, and nothing can be more miscellaneous than the subjects on which iuisters are questioned. After the questions comes the regular business of the day, which, strange to say, is the signal for a general rush to the door.

The whippers-in take their station in the lobby, and request the members to pair as they go out, which is done by writing their names in the pairing paper, which lies in the lobbv. In this general absence the opposition members try to catch a division, but the ringing of a bell the division bell brings in a rush of members same of them with their months full of tough beef for the culinary arrangement are execrable and their purpose is foiled. Great tact is required on the part of the whippers-in. A whipper-in now retired told the lecturer that the first act of Lis successor was to send up to the Reform Club for a batch of Radicals, who came indeed to answer to his call, but voted to a man contrary to the Government. THE DIVISIONS BALL-GOINO MEMBERS SLEEPY MEMBERS.

There is generally not much difficulty in catching the Speaker's eye, but if two members rise, the House cries for the favourite. When no member ofnoteisup, the members are satisfied with being in the smoking or supper rooms, but the moment the ne.vs arrives that Mr. Disraeli or Lord John Russell is up, the House is filled. At one end of the House, and behind the chair, are a knot of young gentlemen iu white waistcoats, who are going out to balls or suppers, but must vote first. They have not heard a word of the debate, nor are they inclined to listen, but are quite ready to give their vote.

They keep up loud cries of divide, and persist in this interruption till the Speaker calls them to order; but it is evident the House wiil listen to none but its most distinguished orators. The way in which the question is put is very puzzling to the members, and cries of Aye, and No, are heard. The Speaker says the ayes have it; this the noes loudly deny a division is the result, and the House is cleared. Sometimes a gentleman is found asleep iu one of the dark corners. He is immediately taken prisoner, and brought before the Speaker, who asks him it be beard the question put.

The answer is, How could he? he was The Speaker then repeats the question for bis particular benefit, and being thus enlightened, he votes with his party. The members pass out at different doors, at whicb tellers are placed. Two tellers are appointed at each side. These compare notes, and all four, draw up in line, those with the majority on the right, and making sundry bows, advance to the Speaker's chair. This closes the question, and the next business is proceeded with.

THE COUNT-OUT. On the occasion of a couut.out the Government whipper-in stations himself in the lobby in an interesting position, and hints to stay away. The members soon understand what is up, and those in the House rise, one after the other, and, looking as unconcernedly as possihle, saunter out. In the midst of an orator's peroration a member rises in one of the back benches, and addressing himself to the Speaker, says, I think, sir, there are not 40 members The Speaker begins to count, and outside the door a cordon is formed to prevent an entrance, which some sturdy members break through. Im mediately he has done counting, the Speaker leaves he chair, to the great delight of the clerks at the table and the reporters in the gallery, who take care not to mention the name of the gentleman who moves the count out.

THE ELECTION COMMITTEE. Election Committees were formerly unfair. They are more impartial now, but certainly not less improvident. Recourse is here had to those who have most leisure, and this generally falls on the country gentlemen. The chairman has probably been in attendance several times at quarter sessions, and his acquaintance with rules of evidence is accordingly rather limited, yet he has to decide on them.

On taking the chair he addresses bis four colleagues and says Gentlemen, you will hear the facts, mid are called on to decide according to rules of evidence. The young gentleman on his right says he will not be humbugged by rules of evidence. The other three say they know nothing about it, but will support the chairman. THE EATING DEPARTMENT OF THE HOUSE. The eating department in the House bad, perhaps because the custom is uncertain the supply of waiters is inadequate, and frequently in a full house, a cabinet minister is seen strut-cling with the crowd for the first cut of the beef.

The great majority of the members, however, dine at home, and return at nine or ten THOSE WHO TALK IN THE HOUSE IRISH MEMBLRS A WELSH MAN. Questions arise affecting all classes of the country, and of course when a commercial subject is under discussion, the members far Liverpool take a prominent part. So, on manufacturing questions, the members for the West Riding are sure to be heard, and on agricultural questions their most active members are preseut.and so on these must be heard, and the Speaker accordingly recognises their claims by calling on them when they rise. Should a speaker make an allusion to Ireland the debate is almost sure to become an Irish debate. Of 105 Irish members 100 are good speakers, and if the English and Scotch members spoke in the same proportion, we should have no business done at all.

He once saw a Welsh member rise in his seat on St. David's day, with one of the largest of leeks in his button-hole, and gravely complain that Kngland, Ireland, and Scotland, had been alluded that night, but not a word had been spoken of Wales. Many members of Parliament fight for the prosecution of various objects which are entirely of an individual kind others work with their party, with whom, indeed, it is hard to break for such a one respect may remain, but intimacy is broken off, fur it is the privilege of less distinguished members of Parliament to form intimacies with their leaders. All parties will meet together in the smoking-room ou lue happiest terms. Anti-Secessionists in Pabis.

American society-has divided itself, at last, into two distinct camps, (writes a Paris correspondent). Secessionists are strung, rich, and hot, like good punch while Federals are strong, sweet, and cold, like pine-cup. A regular rife (clearing out) of all American was made last week by one of the great American houses here and cards issued for a grand ball on Tuesday n-xt, without including one single American name. The arrival of Mr. Slide!) is thought to have given rise to this singular and aimost offensive precaution.

This gentleman has taken up his abode at the Hotel du Rbin, and, curiously enough, occupies the very apartment inhabited by Louis Bonaparte, in 1818. They say that the Secessionists look upon the coin cidence as an omen of the brightest description. Of course he is quite ready to do the same. lln extraordinary isolation in which the French ambass ador at Washington holds himself in the midst of the Corps Diplomatique gives rise tc great perplexity and the pointed homage rendered to the Count de Paris, at a dinner party given by the Russian Envoy ill America where his Royal Highness was made to occupy the post of honour is said to have increased the confusion and dismay which seem to have become part and parcel, as it were, of all things American at this moment. The levees held by Mr.

Sliddell are attended with great assiduity by the Secessionists of all nations and you would be surprised to find amongst the French holders of such opinions most of the writers and orators who have written and spoken with greatest vehemence against slavery.

From the Irish Farmers' Gazette), BUTTER FREE FROM TURNIP TASTE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE IRISH FARMER sum. Sir In the Gazette of the 2Sth December, 18CI I ie a Subscriber" is very much at a loss to knnJ bow to make good batter without having a taste of turnips. For fifteen years I have practised the fol lowing plan ana not only bare bad butter without having the least taste of turnips, but superior in taste and colour to grass butter. Imprimix The cow should not be fed with turnips an hour previous to either morning or evening milking next, tbe milk should always be collected in crock or ciher glared earwienware material, ana not in wood; these crocks before and after bting ued, should be washed clean' with scalding water aud thoroughly dried.

Previuus to putting in tbe milk or cream about half a pint of sweet buttermilk and about the size of a lar 'e pr -i i i- nrsi put in the crock then let the warm milk be (trained a usual down on it The quantity of buttermilk above mentioned is sufficient for thirty quart of new milk. I always keen my milk troro six to eight days before churning, and it is then both thick and sour.

Sods, straw, rushes, furze, the spray of trees, which are so commonly used for covering ot blinding the stone in drain, are all perishable, fall down in time through the and injur, their capacity of acting drainage materials.

The best thing to use for this purpose i. tough brick clay, or any other clay that will retain it. tenacity, or that will not decompose or crumble away. CoarsV c.ear. gravel is also excellent, keeping the coarsest I ext the broken stones, and tbe finest on top.

The debri from quarries, eonstiu finely brokea stone, mixed with clay is excellent for tbii purpose None of these are perishable, and will act a. a filter to the drainage water so that it may get to tb. drain in a clear, limpid state. Attention to these particulars in the process constitutes pcrUvctioa ia draining and unless these points are scrupuously attended to, Ihe drains, sooner or later, get more or less inoperative. Connected with this part of the subject is the depth of drains, which should not be to shallow as to lead to any fear of the drainage water getting to the drainage materials, either stones or tiles, fn a turbid state if it do, deposits take place, which will, more or less, render them ineffective and unserviceable, and in many cases choke them up.

To render drains effective in this respect, they should not be much less, on the average, than four feet deep, besides other considerations. If the marl is of a tough, saponaceous con. sistence, there is no daDgcr of its running do.vu among the stones. Best Manure tor Flax. Apply 4 cwL phospho-Perovian guano per Irish acre.

Quantity of Oats and Hat Required for Horses. A medium sized horse fairly worked when dry fed should get 14 lb. oats, and from 14 to 21 lb. hay daily the oats to be divided into three feeds.

Saddle and carriage horses will require less, say 10 lb. oat, and 10) to 15 lb, hay, unless th( carriage horse, are of very large size, when they i should get proportionably more cavalry horses are limited to 10J lbs. oats and 10 lbs. hay per day. I To economise the feeding, hor-s should be coin- fortably and cleanly lodged, but not kept too warm, 5 be well groomed, and tbe stables well ventilated.

Comparative Value or Indian Corn and Ba- -ley roa Fr.EniNG.

Weight lor weight, barley is more nutritious than Indian corn, 54 ius. i.i the former being equal to 57 lbs. of the Utter, so that the barley has the advantage in both quantity and cost. We think that 6 atone turnips per day by a vast deal too much for a horse, and 7 lbs. barley much too little.

The warm mash of turuips is better for the horses, particularly at night, than the cold pulped. Crushed barley, weight for weight, is more nutritive than rape-rake if the money value of the Utter, weight for weight, is much less with you than the former, it will be more economical to use the rape-cake than the barley. Most Economical Feeding for Pigs when nearly all has to be Bought. The most economical is the best, and that consists in barley or Indian corn, both ground into meal. It is a losing; game to keep pigs and not feed them highly from their birth.

They should in every stage get as much as tbey will eat, whether you have the material of home-growth or that you must purchase. There is no profit in half feeding animals; that is, keeping them for two days on the food they would consume in one. Yon cannot feed thent wholly on mangels pig require grain as well a root. Mangels are better cooked than raw, and should be sliced up before boiling. Turnip are good feeding for pigs, but should be mixed with grain, bran, or pollard.

Tbey are not so good as pouioc the Utter nearly three times as nutritious as swede tur-Epi. As stores they trive best with plenty of air and exercise, and when at rest, in dry, warm sties. When put up to fatten they do best in the dark but the sty should be rlean, warm, and well ventilated. Cleanliness, dry beds, warmth, and pure air are absolutely necessary for their health and thrift in any stage. Warm potatoe mixed with oat or barley meal, lean beef or liver well boiled, and chopped fine, to upply the place of insect food a free supply of sand or gravel, mixed with slaked lime; pure water, witb dry, warm lodging at night.

Brave a soldier as ever was seen The Por-E taking ax We read in a letter from Rome of the 22nd in the Post Yesterday, tempted either by the fineness of the weather or by a dcsiie to coniradict the rumours in circulation of his illness, Pope, after taking an airing, got out of his carriage and walked round the Fincio. Such a circumstiii.ee is of very ri.re occurrence, and many residents have been in Rome for years without seeing his Holiness therefore I may deem self fortunate in having come across him without the formality of seeking for an audience. The sight was an impressive one, and a description of it mar, perhaps, not be uninteresting to our readers.

First came three outriders of his guard of honour, then two tall fuottuen, whose stature would not have disgraced Belgravia, and then the cardinals in waiting. Immediately after these came Pius dressed in his white robe, with a hat, scarlet stockings and shoes, walking between Mnnsignore Talbot and Monsiguore Ricci, in purple robes. A few more priests followed by the side of the Papal carriage, which, if not quite so magnificent as onr own Smte carriages, was, nevertheless, a most elaborately adorned equipage, drawn by four very fine jet black horses, and driven by a coachman of those equtre dimenaioi.s only seen on the opening of Parliament. The Pope was escorted by the remainder of the troop of who are attached to his household. As he passed, every Catholic's knee was bent to him, and every Protestant's hat wm and the Licssings which he bestowed on all Lis followers as he went round the park seemed to be deeply appreciated.

As, just now, the health of the Pope is a matter of such deep importance to Europe, your readers wiil, perhaps, be interested to learn that according to all outward eppearance he could not be better and I have never seen a man of his age walk faster, and with less symjitoTs of fatiguing himself. In fact, the pace at which he went might be described as a swinging one, and his arms seemed to keep time with his legs. To describe him is unnecessary, as there are bo many photographs at the West Knd but I doubt if any artist could adequately pourtray the benevolence of his countenance, which is something truly remarkable. After he had made his promenade- he got into his ca-riage amid loud and long-continued cheering, and the impression he produced by ills visit was, I should, say, decidedly a success." Catciiino a Tartar What Came of Lifting a Turnip. Tue other day several sappers miners were passing a certain gentleman's mansion not far from Airdrie, when one of them stepped off the road and took up a turnip from the field.

The laird' an angry man was he' hving observed the act, hurried from the house and commanded the soldier to relinquish his booty, sharply rebuking him for his trespass. The soldier civilly asked the irate gentleman if he would put a price upon the turnip and he would pay it. Tl other, who is regarded as having rather a parsimonious liking lucre, asked a sliill ing. The soldier gave him, in Her Majesty's name, the sum asked, threw dovrn the turnip, and walked away. Next murning the owner of the turnip was considerably surprised to see the sa.ne soldiers, accompanied by two rural policemen, enter his house, and still more they told him they bad come to escort him Airdrie) to be enrolled in Her Majesty's service.

The laird had caught a Tartar. There was no eseape from the diihculty but to pay the smart, which he did before he could be released from enlistment on the previous day. Macaulay's Conversation. A few sentences on Mac iulav's conversational powers, on his private life ilill Kuer. Ttit re is a common impression that in society he was engrossing and overpowering.

livery one has heard the witty saying of his old friend (no two men appreciate each other more highly or more justly) about flashes of But in the quiet intercourse ith the friend, no greater talker was more tree, easy, and genial, than Macnulav. There was the most equable interchange of thought; he listened with as much courtesy as he spoke with gentle and pleasant persuasiveness. In a larger circle, such as he delighted to meet and assemble around him to the close of his life, a few chosen intimates, some accomplished ladies, foreign ers of the highest distinction, who were eager to make his aqnaintatice, bis manners were frank and open, In conversation in a circle, a commanding voice, high animal spirits, unrivalled quickness of apprehension, a now ot language as rapi.t cs lnex- haustable, gave bin perhaps a larger snare, but a share which few were not delighted to yeild up to him. His thoughts were like lightning, and clothed themselves at once in words While other men were il.ii.king what they should say, and how they should ray it, Macaulay had said it all, and a great deal more. And the stores hi til his memory had at instantaneous command A wide range of Greek and Latin hirtjry and literature, English, French, Italian, Spanish; of German he had not so full a stock, but he knew the works of the best authors Dutch he learned for the purpose of his historv.

With these came anecdote, touches of character, drollery, fun, excellent stories excellently told. The hearer ot'tened longed for Macaulay 's memory to carry off what he heard in a single morning, in an after-dinner colloquy, or in a few hours in a country bouse. Dean Ntiinan.

Langley, solicitor, on behalf of Dr. Bradshaw, made application to the grand jury to stop the presentment of Dr. Ryan, coroner for Tipperary district, on the ground, that contrary to the provisions ot the act ot parliament, he had selected another medical attendant to hold a post mortem examination at an inquest occuring wiihin Dr. Bradshaw's dispensary district, and which the latter deemed an interference with his professional duty, especially as he had been selected by the constable of the locality. Mr.

Langley added that the grand jury had the power to either stop the entire presentment claimed by the coroner, or to deduct from his bill the sum of the fee to which Dr. Bradshaw was entitled, and which Dr. Ryan gave to a physician, a friend of his, who was residing in another district. The jury were of opinion they could not interfere in the matter. Mr.

Waldron We have no jurisdiction under the circumstances, but you have your remedy, if you wish to argue the question of law on a traverse before the judge. The matter Oien dropped, Mr. Shee, coroner for the Clonmel district, observing that the course pur sued by Dr. Ryan in selecting the doctor he thought well of, was perfectly legitimate. It was the same rule which be himself invariably adopted, and he, for one, would take no suggestion or advice from the grand jury on such a point.

The Right Hon. Baron Deasy, in addressing the grand jury, congratulated them on the lightness of their calendar, which he was happy to learn fairly represented the state of their county. There were 25 cases for trial, in one of which a bill had been found at the last assizes for the crime of poisoning, aud which trial had been postponed.

Accused had been removed by death to answer before a higher tribunal. In another case persons bad been charged with the offence of harbouring a felon. He under-stood it was not the intention of the crown to pro. ceed with that case, because the alleged felon had been acquitted of the charge.
