MONDAY MORNING ..... FEBRUARY 20 An Excellent Breed of Cowl. For the benefit of the lovers of good stock, and particularly of the farmers who read our ir tekly, we extract the substance of a lengthy article in the New York Tribune iu reference to the Alderney or Jersey stock of cattle. The article was handed us by a friend a stock fancier. The "Alderney" or "Jersey" cows (either name is correct) came from the Channel Islands near the coast of England composed of Jersey, Alderney, Guernsey, and bark. These cows are not remarkable so much for the quantity of milk they give, a3 for its extraordinary richness and buttermaking properties. While, on a great farm in England, the richness of the milk of common cows was as 8 per cent., and Ayrshires as 15, the Alderneys gave 23J per cent of cream under the same treatment. This breed is supposed to have originally come from Normandy, and was at first poor looking stock, bat has been much improved by care. About the year 1840 a company of wealthy gentlemen formed an association, adopted a regular scale of good points, and offered prizes for animals possessing the greatest number, for the purpose of bettering the form and qualities of their stock. They selected two beautiful cows as models, and made the following scale of points for cows and heifers : 1. Pedigree on the male side. 2. Pedigree on the female side. 3. Head small, fine and tapering. 4. Cheek smalls 5. Throat clean. 6. Muzzle, fine and encircled with alight color. 7. Nostrils, high and open. 8. Horns, smooth, crumpled, not loo thick at the base, and tapering, tipped with black. 0. Ears small and thin. 10. Ears, of a deep orange color within. 11. Eye, full and placid. 12. Neck, straight, fine, and lightly placed on the shoulders. ... 13. Chest bread and deep. 14. Barrel hooped, broad and deep. 15. Well-ribbed home, having but little space between last rib and the hip. 16. Back, straight from the withers to the top of the hip. 17. Back, strait from the top of the hips to the setting on of the tail ; and the tail at right angles with the back. IS. Tail, fine. 19. Tail, hanging down to hocks. 20. Hide, thin and moveable, but not too loose. 21. Hide, covered with fine soft hair. 22. Hide of a good color. 23. Fore-legs, short, straight, and fiue. 24. Fore-arm, swelling and full above the knee, and fine below it. 25. Hind-quarters, from the hock to the point of the rump, long and well filled up. 26. nind legs, squarely placed, not too close together when viewed from behind. 27. Hind legs, not to cross when walking. 28. noofs small. 29. Udder, full in form, i. well iu line with the belly. 30. Udder, well up behind. 31. Teats, large and squarely placed, being wide apart. 32. Milk veins, very prominent. 33. Growth. 34. General appearance. 35. Condition each of which points counted one, the possessor of the whole beingperfection, and no animal deemed worthy of a prize which has less than twenty nine of these points to recommend it. It is stated that the Jersey owners sometimes regard a black nose and black tongue as a sign of superior excellence. Twenty years have wrought a great change. From a mis-shapen animal, the Jerseys have become very symmetrical, and the nower of transmitting good qualities to offspring, are greatly improved. While there is the same beautiful dun, yellow, or fawn-colored hide, and the same fawn-like head, with its soft, innocent, antelope eyes, the hide has been made mellow and loose, and the head symmetrical in shape. While, before improvement, the best cows may have given as much milk as the best of the improved raw, the number of best cows now is as a hundred, to one of former times. They also make fat easier than the unimproved race. The beef is of excellent quality, but the fat is too highly colored to bo agreeable to the sight. The deep yellow that pervades the milk, butter, 6kin, and 'fat, is characteristic of the breed. The Jersey milk is said to contain three times as much butter as good common milk, and twice and a half as much as the average of Aryshire. This result was deduced from experiments made in Albany, N. Y., on the Jersey milk, compared with analyses made by order of the British Government on the other two classes of cows. The Tribune gives a lengthy account of the herd and farm of Thomas Mottley, jr., West Roxbury, Aiass. an extensive blooded-stock raiser and dairyman. Thi3 has no further bearing on the excellence of the stock, than that everything is furnished and fixed up in the snuggest manner, and the stock, of course, are well taken care of. Mr. Mottley's stock has excellent pedigree. One of the cows of the line produced over eleven pounds weekly of rich yellow butter during the May when she was four years old, from her daily yield of nineteen quarts of milk. A cow (Flora) which Mr. M. now has, was calved in 1849 in the island of Jersey. She is a fair sized cow of a dun and white color, the dun predominating. Her milk proved so exceedingly rich, that, several year3 ago, it was kept apart from that of other cows, and separately churned aDd weighed for a year. She calved April 28, 1853. At the first churning of a week's milk, on the 18th of May, the yield was 12 lbs, 14 ounces of butter; next week it was 13 lbs; the next 14, and from that time till the 25th April, 1854, the weekly yield ranged from 14$ downto Gibs. She calved on the 12th of June. The whole year's product was 511 lbs. Mr. Mottley's cows give an average of only ten quarts daily, and yet, so rich is the milk, that only sevm quarts are required to make a pound of butter. To the milkman, the Jerseys are no great object, because they require quantity rather than quality; but for butter making at farms or dairies, or in families who want rich milk for domestic use, these cows area treasure. It is stated that to dilute the milk of ten or a dozen ordinary cows with that of one Jersey, is more favorable for the cheese and butter dairyman, than to use their milk solely, as it is so very rich that butter and cheese made from it alone will not keep long. In Leicestershire, England, a cow has been seen a cross between a Durham and Alderney which gave sixteen pounds of butter per week, for ten successive weeks, npon grass only. In Hampshire, there was another Jersey which produced fourteen pounds per week for thirteen successive weeks, and the owner had six of the breed which together had produced fifty pounds per week throughout the whole

season. On a neigh boring farm were four Jerseys, from whose milk tifty-two pounds had regularly been made during May and June. The Duke of Portland once owned a Jersey cow which produced fourteen pounds per week, with no other care beyond what wa3 given to all the other animals on the place. Mr. Mottley has a fiveyear old Jersey (Flirt, a daughter of Flora,) which is said to be more beautiful than the mother, and is nearly a3 good a inilk and butter producer. A description of a model dairy-room may be interesting to our readers: THE DAIRY. Mr. Mottley's dairy room is in the cellar of Lis house, and arranged to be ventilated by an area window which is covered with wire-netting. '. The floor is cemented, and of course kept scrupulously clean. Plain, broad wooden shelves around the four sides of the room hold the pans of milk. A marble-top table standing in the center of the apartment :s used for working the butter and preparing it for market. The milk is churned in one of the well-known Crowell " thermometer churns," of a capacity of thirty gallons. A small air-tight wood stove is used to iasnre an equable temperature in winter.. About 100 lbs. of butter are made weeklf , which is sold to gentlemen in Boston at 50 cts. per lb. It is put up in neat lb. rolls, prettily stamped, and sent to town in tin boxes fitted with shelves inside to keep the layers of rolls separate. The writer from whom we quote vouches from personal experience for the delicious quality of the butter. He says it surpasses any he ever tasted before. , The Tribune writer says that iu 1850 the Jersey cattle could be bought in the Channel Islands for JCIO (50) each. The best animals are now worth 150. Heifer calves,

six weeks old, sell for about 100 bull calves, same age, $25. Our authority remarks that crpsses between Jerseys and other good milk breeds make the best cows for private families. He thinks there i3 a spec ulation, in his part of the country, in breed ing such cows for families and farmers. -. If the trouble we have been at in con densine this information, and the space it occupies in our pages, shall prove the means of awakening an interest among our readers and especially the farmers in regard to improving their stock, we shall be content. Considering that this is a first-rate milk, butler, and cheese market, there is no doubt that more trouble and expense in improving stock than is now incurred, would prove profitable. Good milk, cheese, and particularly butter, is always ready sale at paying prices. Sg A letter has been published from Senator Pugh, of Ohio, to the State Department, requesting a passport for Mr. John Detlefs, Auditor of Ottawa county, Ohio, and wishing to be advised whether the latter can safely visit the Duchy of Holstein. Though Mr. Detlefs is a regularly naturalized American citizen, and though not subject to military service at the date of his emigration, having then been under age, he has been pronouuee.da deserter by the Danish authorities, nnd is apprehensive of arrest, fine and imprisonment, should he return to his native land. Mr. Secretary Cass grants the request, and says in reply : " 1 1 is proper to remark that Mr. Ernst, upon the representation of our Minister, Mr. Wright, was discharged from the service of the Uanovarian Government. You will perceive that, agreeably to the principles laid down in this dispatch to Mr. Wright, Mr. Detlefs owes no military service in Denmark, as he left there before ho had been called into the army or navy, and therefore could not rightfully be considered a deserter. We deny that contingent obligations, depending on time or other circumstances for their fulfillment, creates any liability on the part of an American naturalized citizen, to which he can be subjected when returning to the country of his birth." Fugitive-Slave Aid Society Decided to be Illegal. On the 27th ult., at Syracuse. the case of William Brown, agent of the Fugitive Aid Society, against the .officers of that institution, was called up for trial. It was an action to recover damages for a libel, the defendants having published a card in which Biown was denounced as an impostor, because he had made no returns of hi3 collections. It was testified that the object of the society was to aid the fleeing of fugitives from slavery. From his letters the plaintiff appears to have been a resident of Pittsheld, Mass., in 1S5G. The Rev. Samuel J. May, of Boston, was president of the society one year, and assisted over two hundred fugitives. Dr. James Chandler, of Syracuse, was a member of it. Henry D. Didima was treasurer ia 1856. Dr. James Fuller, of Syracuse, was a member, and secretary. After argument, Judge Morgan said the Constitution itself requires States, to return fugitives from service in other States, and any society which proposes to aid fugitives must be illegal. Non-suit granted, with order that the exceptic ns be heard in the first instance at general term. . NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

This cure has excited his fi lends, neighbors, aud physicians, and eveu some of the Medical Faculty. One of the Professors (Dr. R. S. Newton), who was called to see him as a surgeon, not to prescribe, was so forcibly impressed with the Remai kable Curative Properties ot this Medicine, that he has adopted it into h is private practice, as well as at the College and Hospitals. Cincinnati, O., Feb. 16, 1858. IIkssbs. A. L. Scovill tt Co. Gentlemen : I will, with groat pleasure, give my testimony as to what your SARSAPARILLA AND STILLINGIA, or BLOOD AND LIVER i YH UP has done for me. Some three and a half years siuce, I was attacked with a Scrofulous White swelling, which was attended with most excrutiating pains ! 1 tried various remedies, and had two' ot the lx-st Physicians of the city (one of them a Professor iu au Old School Medical College ), and they failed to give me any relief ! I was so reduced that I was coniiaed to my bed for over three months. The nurvea and muscles of one leg were so contracted and drawn up, that I could not walk. I had morethau a dozen running ulcers on my legs, from which 1 took, from time to time, more than One Hundred Pieces of Bone, some of them from three to four inches long. I was reduced to almost a Bkeletou, and my friends had given up all hopes of my recovery! I was in this condition when I commenced the use of your Blood aud Liver Syrup. 1 have used altogether sofne two dozen bottles of it, and at the same time the Iodine Ointment, which you advise to use with it; and Iiudly, the Healing Ointment, given under the head of "While Swelling," in your directions. Iam now ablo to attend to business, and my legs have become so strong that I walk without auy diuiculty and liavo entirely recovered my health. Yours truly, MARTIN ROoBlNS, .la. Residence on Eighth street, between Mound and John, No. 321 ; or at place of business, with Brow n a Villette, No. 4 East Fourth street. Read an extract from the Cincinnati Medical Journal, Vol. ft, page 8U, by its editor, Prof. R. S. Newton, in regard to this remarkable cure : "While Mai tin Robbius was in the very worst imaginable condition, we were culled to atted him for a fracture of the leg, produced by a fall. The indications of a re-union of the bone, under the circumstances, were unfavorable, for ho would sit, day after d:ty, picking out small pieces of the bone, which would slough off. I found him using Scovill's Preparation, which he coutiuued to usu unti 1 a cure was ettected. We gave him no constitutional treatment, being in attendance only usa surgeon; yet we confess we had much curiosity to see what could be done iu a system so extensively diseased us his w:is." Will tho afflicted call on the agent aud get a pamphlet containing certificate of cures from well known citizens of Cincinnati ? : J8jJ" Recollect t hat this Medicine id warranted to cure all diseases that are caused by an impure state of the Blood. Scoviil's Blood and Livr SyrHp is. composed entirely of vegetables, and is perfectly sale for children to use, in case of sore mouth or eruption on the skin.

Depend upon it; rij .thers, it will give rest to yourself, nnd . BELIEF AND HEALTH TO Y0UB INFANTS. We have put up and sold this article for over ten years, and can say,3in confidence and truth of it, what we have . nevjer been able to say of any other medicine ncverhas it failed, in a siugle instance, to effect a cure, when timely used. Never did we know an instance of dissatisfaction by r.ny one who used it.On thu contrary, all are delighted with its operations, and speak in terms of highest commendation of its magical effects aud medical virtues. 2 We speak in this matter " what we do know," at JTtor ten years' experience, and pledge our reputaOtion for the fulfilment of what we here declare. In almost every instance where the infant is suf oferingfrom psiu aud exhaustion, relief will beCOfoundiu 15 or 20 minntes after the Syrup is administered. .- This valuable preparagjtion is the prescription of one of the most expef.rieuced and skillful Nurses in New Englaud.and has been used with never tailing success inchousands of cases. It not only relievusZthe child from pain, but invigorates the stomachiind bowels, corrects acid; ity, and gives tone and jEenergy to the whole system. It will almost iuotautly relieve Griping in tbe Bowels aud WindOOColic, aud overcome convulsions, which, if uotspeedily remedied, eud in death. We believe itQihe best and surest remedy iu the world, in allcases of Dysentery aud Diarrhea in children, whether it arises from teething or from any. other cause. We would say to every mother who has a child s u li e ring from any of the foregoing complai nts, do not let your prejudices, nor tbe prejudices of others, stand between your suffering child and the relief that will be sure yes, absolutely sure to follow the use of this medicine, if timely used.

FRENCH k CO. jan24 iotowart's Stovo - - c. ; WL,YAYS OJY MMAJSTO, A M.ARGE jtlot of these truly and justly celebrated, newly ana greatly improved summer and winter Cooking Stoves, of the unrivalled Stewart's Patent, and at the only agency in this city. Thos. Scanthns, No. 29 Main street, hetween first and Second. The first premium was awarded to this stove as the best coal or wood-cooking stove, at the South Western Indiana District Fair, held at tliii place. No stove ever devised combines as numerous or important scientific principles, as this of Stewart's. It broils, boils, bakes and roasts at the same mo meut, without one dish imparting flavor to another, or producing that sameness of taste in moats, aud gravies, which, to thedelicateand fastidious of taste makes so insuperable an objection to every other cooking stove now in use. With one-fourth the fuel employed in the best of stoves now in use, this most perfect and complete cooking apparatus i'i forms, simultaneously and more perfectly than has ever before been accomplished, everything required m tbe best provided lamilies, so tar as cooking is con cerned- Whan, too, it is borne in mind that the most delicate females can Visit the kitchen when the Stewart Stove is fully employed, and the fire is at Its highest, without tbe smallest unpleasantness from the chancre of temperature, so little is the heat from it diffused externally, an inducement is pre sented ior its universal employment Dover hereto fore presented in any other stove. That, in Joed, is one of its principal attractions, as well as its greatest wonder, how neat is so economized and diffused within the stove itself, and so little perceptibly es capes into the kitchen, a place where, with auy of tne stoves now in use, otner man etewart s, it is scarcely possible for any ons, in warm weather more particularly, to breathe with comfort. For 20 years, Mr. Stewart has been employed in perfecting this stove, and since last February, he has obtained three new patents for improvements, which, in his opinion, aud the epinion of all who have examined it, made it perfect. Witliiu four years, twenty tliousand of them have been sold, under a full guarantee, and not one has been returned. These remarkable results have emboldened a host of stove manufacturers to imitate the Stewart Stove, out, save in exterior appearance, which the old patents (having expired) enables them to give, they no more resemble Stewart's than chalk does choese. Theso imitations are known by various names, but thev are all deficient iu important parti culai s, such as the air-tight boxes, by which full control is kept over tbe fire, and of tbe heat,' by a dratt damper, ingeniously contr vd, which alsoadmits aconsiaut current of cold air nu the outside of the fire-box, which again becomes heated air, and, passing into the oven, is made available for cooking purHMes. . The agent and subscriber is receiving tbe best imitation of the Stewart Stove, called " Pride of the West, which he will be happy todisposeof at twothirds of the price of tbe geuuiue Stewart'. It is possible, ot course, to cook with it, but it bears uo comparison to Stewart. The "Stewart is sold by the agent under a full guarantee to perform, as recommended, aud if, within three months from purchasing, any fault is found with them, be will take them back, and refund the money. Housekeepers will bear in mind then, that, the genuine Stewart Stove, bought at the only agents here, will, with half the labor and one-fourth the fuel, do more and better cooking thati auy other stove ever constructed.
