A NOBLE HOD-CARRIER ROMAN TIC ADVENTURES OF AN AUSTRIAN i. ' BARON. On Thursday afternoon last Col Carr, the post master, received a heavy sealed document at his office postmarked " Vienna," and directed to " nerr uarf von vechter, uaiesburg, rvoox county, State of Illinois, United States of North America." Knowing that the massive letter must be of importance from its crested seals and general official appearance, he dispatched Mr. William Postjchief clerk of the office, in search of the Herr von Vechter. Mr. Post made dili gent inquiries! of several, but could not find any trace of tho individual wanted until he met with Mr. John Loos, the wellknown saloon keeper on the east side of the square. Mr. Loos knew a Charley Vechter j he was workii g ing on the new hotel builking, and both walked over there, where they found Vechter about to ascend a ladder with a hod on his shoulder. When Mr. Post handed him the letter, and he read, it the delight ot the hodman knew no lAYivtsla IT a tkva Vila VtrkPnl sF Vkinlr a4v man capable of defeating Andrew Johnson, and his election was probably as unexpected to him as it is to the country at large. Mr. Cooper is one of the ablest lawyers m Teennessee. He was one of military Govern or Johnson's appointees to the Judiciary, was commended for integrity as an officer by Gov. Brownlow in a message to the Legislature. He gave a decision in the Sherbrooke-Ridley case, now pending in the United states supreme Court, tht our franchise is unconstitutional. On retiring from the bench he became Profei-go or at the Lebanon Law school, and after re signing that position removed to Nashville. ' 1 l " " : RATES OF ADVERTISING.

The Legislature of Virginia yesterday elect ed two Senators to represent the State in th 3 United States Senate. The choice fell unon John F. Lewis. Eq., of Rockingham county, and Judge Johu W. Johnston, of Washington county. Mr. Lewis is a native of Lcwiston, a small town in Rockingham county, and lawyer by profession. In politics, when party lines were strictly drawn, he was an uncomnromising Whig, although residing in the very midst of what was then known as the " tenth legion" of Virginia democracy." . He wa? a member of nic vjowsiiiuuonai convention ot 1601, out vo ted against and refused to sign the ordinance of secession. Throughout the war he continued a persistent advocate of the Union, and was selected by Gov. Pierpoint as his secretary up- od tne removal ot the seat ot government from Alexandria to Richmond. Upon the decapi tation of Gov. Pierpoint by order of Gen. Scho- neld, Air. .Lewis returned home in Rocking ham, where he resumed the practice of his profession. The convention which nominated Gov. Walker, placed the name of Col. Lewis upon the ticket as a candidate for Lieut. Gov ernor, and at the election in July the latter officer ran two thousand ahead of his ticket. Col. Lewis is about fifty ye.irs of age, ot slen der build, but six tcet in height, and of a very scaate ana ellective turn. Judge John W. Johnson, who has been se ieuieu as me coucague or uoi. Licwis. is a na tive of Washington county, Va., a lawyer by profession, and a nephew of General Joseph E. Johnson, who figured prominently in the Southern army during the recent war. A few months since he was appointed Judge of the Circuit Court of Washington county, and this. so far a3 our information iroes, i the first and only position of public trust he has ever filled GRINDING HAY FOR HORSES. Mr. J. 9. Khk of PitLburg, Pa,, writes to the Farmers' Club as folio jra : " For some time past I have been making observation and experiments in animal food, and obtaining what I believe to be an improve ment and I take the liberty nf communicating to your Club the results. Gra. beii.g the na tural food for live stock, b easily extracted. With hay. howevc r, the case is different, for when fed in suficient -quantities the animal, especially it its feeth have become flattened by age, attempts to ratify itseh by selecting the leave and tender branches To obviate thie difficulty, and, prevent1 waste, cutting hay in short lengths has to an extent become general, ana is no doubt, a step in the right direction. My belief U that we should ro tili further, and grind the hay as we now grind oats and corn. Is it thought that, owin to its elutinous na ture, hay could not be reduced to a stale of meal, or, if so reduced, the expense attending would not justify. To test this I constructed a cutter and crusher on new principles, aud the result was beyond my most sanguine expecta tions. Ten tons a da v -can be ground with one j u machine, at a cost not to exceed one dollar per ton. Ground in this manner, hay is not unlike ground oats, same in color, its weight being iromininy two lotnirrysix pounds per ousnel. Mixed with chopped feed, such as corn or oati, it makes an excellent lotd. Thus we effect by mechanical means what the hard-woikice or decrepid animal is incapable of doing per- ieci mastication. Pictures. A room with pictures iu it, an a room without pictures, differ nearly as muck as a room with windows and a room without win dows. Nothing we think, is more melancholy, particularly to a person who has to pass much time in his room, than blank walls and nothing on tbem ; for pictures are loop-holes of escape to the soul, leading it to other scenes and other spheres. It is such an inexpressible relief to a person engaged in writing, or even reading, on looking up not to have his line of vision chop ped square off by an'odioua white wall, but to find his soul escaping, as it were through, the frame of equisite picture, to other beautiful, and, perhaps, Idyllic scenes, where the fancy for a moment may revel, refreshed and delight ed. Is it winter in your world ? perhaps it is summer in the picture. What charming mo mentary change and contrast ! And thus clo tures are consolers of loneliness ; they are a swift flattery to the soul : they are a rebel to the ja ded mind ; they are windowj to the imprisoned tnougnt ; they are books, tbey are histories ser mons -whioh we can read without the trouble me uia ii wuvf gets iuc luaiuc uab& ui u j for the ' United States Senatorship from Tennessee. On tbis subject we clip the follow ing from the New York World of the 23d inst. The successor to Senator Joseph S, Fowler on the 4th of March, 1871, will be Henry Cooper, at present a member of the State Sen ate of Tennessee. Mr. Cooper is a native of Maury Counly and is nearly 50 years old. He removed to Bedford County when a young man and for several years represented the district in which that county is situated, in the lower branch of Legisture. During the Ute war he was a strong, though not violent, Union man, and received from Governor Andrew Johnson the appointment of Judge in one of the State courts. During his term on the bench he sought several times to resign, but his resignation was not accepted ; and Gov. Brownlow, in a mess age to the Legislature, referred to him as one of the purest and most upright members of the State Judiciary; and, though opposed to him politically, earnestly protested against his re tirement. In 1866, however, he accepted a chair in the faculty of Cumberland Universi- P AlHTSi-OlLSff D Y E STUFFSf Senate as a Senter Conservative at the recent election, beating nis naaicai opponent by 1'.

Almost every person who uses a harness ha3 been more or less annoyed by having them injured by rats. We give a few hints as to how this may be avoided, though everybody knows, or affects to know, what is best. The receipts here given are collected Irom dinerent sources. Take a teaspoon ful of Cayenne pepper, mix it thoroughly with a cruart of oil, and rub the harness with the mixture. This, it is claimed, will not only keep rats and mice from gnawing the harness, but it will also prevent horses and colts from chewing the lines or halters. . Take two quarts of greerr leeks, pour over them one gallon of oil, and let it stand a few days before using ; the longer it stands the better. A little benzine rubbed over the harness after it had been oilel is said to be a sure preventive, but is not recommended by many on account of the idea that it injares the leather. Tree Planting. In planting trees this fall, all should remember that it is requisite to set the tree only just so deep as to enable it to stand, for we can earth up to protect it from heaving by the winter's frosts; and as soon as spring opens and the ground is level led down, the roots will start and seek their appropriate depth. If we dig a deep hole, especially in hard clay soil, and fill it with a good loam and set "out trees therein, we must invite the water there a3 into a cistern ; and second, we cause a vigorous growth of roots, until they reach the undisturbed clay when a check is at once perceptible and often an orchard stands from five to seven years with-, out apparently making any, progress. Re member, then, and plant your trees just so deep as to cover their roots, but no more ; then earth up for winter protection against frost for tho first year, and dress down again to a level in spring.
