EQUALITY OF RIGHTS IS NATURE'S PLAN AND FOLLOWING NATURE IS THE MARCH OF MAN. Barlow. Volume IV. LAWRENCEBURGH, INDIANA; SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1828. Number 47.

From 'he Cincinnati v. strn Tiller. Butter. An increased attention to

the quality of this article on the part of some of the farmers of this vicinity for several years past, has produced the effect which will always be observed in such cases, x z: a great difference in price according to quality. This difference will in our market be found to be at least fifty per cent.; now as it must certainly be easier to pay so much attention to the making of butter as to have it of the best quality, and sell for the highest price, than to obtain the sum which the difference in price between good and bad butter would amount to, in any other way, it appears somewhat singular that so much butter of inferior quality should be brought to market. There is no great secret in the art of making butter; neatness and carefulness on the part of the maker are the chief requisites: we believe however that the use of Kenhawa salt in butter is injurious to its quality, and that those who xvki to make their butter of the best quality would do well either to use West India salt, or if they use Kenhawa, to dissolve and re-chrystalliz it, so as to free it from its impurities. It is hardly necessary to speak of the necessity of having good milk, especially where it is as easv to obtain it as it is in this country. The following extract from the report of the committee on neat cattle, at the Worchester, Mass., cattle show, we recommend to the perusal of all who keep cows. "The Commitfee beg leave to offer one or two remarks of a general character. They cannot but express their surprise, that any man will ever keep a poor milch cow, when, as has this day been shown, animals so much more profitable can be kept at an equal cost. It is a deplorable want of economy, and worse even than that of a man who should invent his money in two per cent stock, when he might as safely receive ten per cent, on his capital in any other way. No animal repays so richly (he charges of her keeping, as a good milch cow. She is" a treasure to a poor-man, and a source of luxury to the poor and the ricb alike. It is in this light that she is an extremely interesting object, for good eating comes home to us all. We have heard our brother farmers talk of "livinc like poor folks," when they had more luxuries in their daries than they could dream oi, till deprived of them. "Sir," said an obsequious waiter at a city hotel, to a good honest yeoman of a neighboring county, as he handed him a pitcher of what city folks call cream, " do you like cream in your coffee? "Yes," said he with a sigh, "much better than skim milk." Most of our best eatables derive their origin from our milch cows. But the quality of the one depends upon that of the other. It is in vain that the housewife sets the milk if it is not of a rich quality. She may select her pans with the skill of an Humphery Davy; but it matters not whether of tin, or earthan, or what not, for if the cream is not in the milk, she cannot get it out. She may warm it or cool it, skim it or churn it all (together; poor milk will make poor butter. All the patent churns that Connecticut ingenuity ever invented, or Dr. Thornton ever puzzled his brain over, could not make sky blue milk into yellow cream or white frothy cream into hard sweet butter. Such milk and butter, some may think, maydo for hired men and boarders, but when w-e, think of one's children, (especially! those, of us who have none.Uhis becomes i

But when we ccme to eatings we would "forswear"' for children ithin potations" as heartily as Jack Falstaffin the play. We would quote even sacred writ in favour of milk diet, but we need only to refer to the good old times of bread and milk suppers, when slops and niennes were not the staff o life, and when the rich bloom of health on the cheek of childhood, like the brilliant hue of twilight on a summer's day, played around the features even of old age, making it fresh and fair and vigorous. Bodily and mental vigor are too nearly allied, not to attach importance to what pro motes either. And as friends of the rising generation, as the lovers of good or-

der, and good eating, of good education and good bread and butter, your committee would earnestly recommend all who have viewed, with them, he ani mals this day exhibited, to sell their poor

When the Legislature mM, 10 compare the election returns of the election for Governor and Lieutem. ,t Goveror, prior to the lasJ, (1825) they found the returns from eleven counties missing, either through the delinquency of the county clerk?, or po-tmas t":r, which might have proved fatal to the successful candidates, if the contest had been close. The Legislature at that sam session, 6eeing the evil that might arise, passed an act requiring those returns in future to be made in two ways. The act requires the clerk of each county, to send one return to the Speaker of the House of Representatives hy maiU and another by the representaof his count). Oi) examining the returns, which have been made, to the post office at thie olace, since the la?t August election, i manifestly appears thai some clerkhave been very inattentive to the law of the land in thi particular. The law requires, that the returns should he directed to the "Speaker of the H. R.," a hereas several icmu. ns ar- mad-,dhe-cd to the ' "Secretary of St. tie." No returns whatever have been received Ifom the following counties t , v. it: Union, Riph, Harrison, Crawford, Jackson, BrM tholome-, H.urnk Hamilton, Warrick, Ptrrv, Davh s J Ofttn and Warren; and the returns In.vr come to hand, illegally directed o the "Secretary of Sta't ," from the following eounties, to wit: P -y, M"tgon er , Jennings, Lawve.-re, Feuniah . an t D catur.

But not remembering to have lost a single tree, 1 am unable to say which time is the best. The method I have generally pursued is this: wherever the soil is thinner, or the land drier than I could whdi, I direct the holes to be dug as much as 4 feet in diameter, and about 2 feet deep. And the earth taken from b'lovv vvhat is useful as soil, we cart into the road. or wherever it may be wanted, and re turn to the holes an equal quantity of those small stones which are usually considered a nuisance ; with these we! intermix any kind of compost or rich soil! from the road.

Coffee is gathered from February to August, and comes to market throughout the year, though in gu aier abundance and better quality from Juty to December; it is generally purchased fa m the planters by a class of trader who pack it in bags containing, without variation, five arobep, or an hundred1 and sixty pounds Portuguese, and by whom it is sold to the shippers. Full confidence is placed in the weight, as frauds have scarcely ever been detected; where however, any d uhi may exist, a few bags are je-w.igied.

The" writer witnessed a cure effected in the following manner. A hoic was boied with a nail gimlet through the scull, on toe curl of hair central between the eyes. In Various instances he has heard of its being applied with uniform success. Thf remedy was discovered by an attempt to kill, and thus relieve a horse from the distress of this disease. His scull was tractuied by the stroke of an axe. The morning following the horse was found feeding apparently well. The remedy may be applied by any person, as the horse very soon becomes helpless after' the attack, and immediate relief is afford hJ u g t the matter, &:c; i tA'he disease seem-to be something like tho dropsy in the head or hydroceph alics in the human sabject;and the lact that that diseare has been cured by opening the head, corroborates the above statement. 7rot Sentinel Wheat and Flour.
