During thl spring we have m usual
spent a good dial nf time In horse-hunting.
We have thoroughly canvassed district
of some thirty milea North and South,
through oild rains and driving winds, and
while we haven't found our own animals we
have found a jrreat many for other people,
Wo have Icnrncit a few things In regard to
estrays which hns suggested a plan to our
mind, which, if adopted, may proveof great
benefit to the community at large, and to
noma active enterprising man in particular.
Asa baiii of our plan we will vtuto a few
facts.
l'irst, the whole country is full of tstrays
cattle and horses. We believe that
nearly one-fourth of all the farmers we huvc
visited in our explorations have themselves
lost more or less animal within the few
year past by straying off.
.Second, the wholu country is full ofes-
trays that havo not been posted. Yi'c be
lieve we are Jtihtifi"d from actual observa
tion In saying that not one estroy lu fifty,
if indeed there Is one In a hundred, is ever
posted. We have found severnl valuable
horses that havo hcin running in certain
localities as eslrayj for years. Some of
these horsei aro probably owned by men a
long way off, as it is nothing nncommon for
horses in tho fpring of the year to go back
to their old range, even if thnt bo a hun
dred miles or mors distant. We have
now in our possession a horse tlmt wns
raised on our place, and which somo two
years ago wus sold to a man who took him
to California. He came back this ppring
with a leather halter on. Tho pa-sent
owner of him is probably looking in the

Thursday, Logan and Shell were In this
city, and declared their positions before a
very large audience of our citizen. I.o-

that it was tho work of u Southern man,
who proteased to know from experience
what he relate.
Starkweather made very able speech,
showing the falsity of the professions of
tho Democratic party, and thut it was only
a machine for extending slavery. Kelly
followed, endeavoring to defend Iiuchuuou,
and proving himself the humblest toot of
the men who have always despised him,
and never speak well of him except when
they want to use him. llolbrook, in a
brief speech, showed tlmt the present De
mocracy was not that of ten years ago,
when it mighty hosts fought for some
thing besides the extension of sluvory.
Then it bore triumphant sway in all the
grent Northwest, now it is fallen fo low
that it is scarcely represented by any free
Stato in Congress. Ho urged Democrats
to examine this position, and if ih y ih s'red
to be free from the tyranny of Lane nnd the
corruption of Smith, to rc ulinte party
nominations,
Mr. Howard, tho independent candidate,

this weik, and informs us that Judge
Lanyhliu is still the candidate of the De

Kelly as the nominee o' the Luao f.u ton
here. They regard Kelly ns a tool of the
clique of federal officials, who en us'n; h's
name only for the purpose of getting a vote
for Lane and Smith. Such a candi late is
not wanted by the people, and so Kelly's
supporter are rapidly dwindling down to
the few liii:!gerou about the Land Of
fice and the court house. His position, as
declared by tho canvass, makes him just lit
to run with Ollicer, though old uncle Jim
my has much more courage in a bad cause.
Kelly only goes as far ns the p-.o-slavery

lazy man was one of the biggest sinners on
earth; it he did nothing else, he broke one
of (iod's greatest commandments. There
was a very strict Sabbat harian gardmr,
who was very hard on his master about the
observance of the Sabbath. Hi m,..t.
said to him, "Why. you break the coni
mundmeuts yourself!" "How?" said th.
gardener, "I don't work on aSaml.iv"
No," quoth the mnstir." nor n:. "

"six days shall thou labor nnl An ult .!,.,
thou hast to do," his master said, "There

mandment ns that " the seveuth is the sub-bath."
