 To prevens SaOW- Water from penetra- tang into Boots Qnd Shees.-Take equal quantities of bees wax and. mutton .suet, and melt them together in an ;earthen pip- kin over slow fire. Lay the mixture while hot on the boots and shoes, which ought to be warm also, lot them stand be- fore the fire short time for it to soak in, and then put them away till quite cold :; when they are so. rub thenl dry with piece of flannel, in order that you may not grease your blacking brushes. If you black them well before you put the mixture on, you will find them take the backing much bet ter afterwards. ,.- ! ua-.>
 Care of Farming Tools.-A topic Ro, yet sufficiently enforced on the attention of farmers, is the wasteful negligence evinced in the exposure of agricultural implements to the injuries of tho seasons. The sled curling and cracking by the side of the wall in summer, and the cart half buried tn snow and seasoning in the winter storms. are symptoms of waste and extravegance, which ripen into q consumption, to be hastened to premature termination by the visits of the sheriffs. The whole secret of wealth con- sists in economy. and the prnden. care of those small rills, which without great vigil- ance, are slipping through the chinks of the best woven purse; and it may be consider ed quite as safe to predict that none of these sloyenly gentlemen will be prosper ous,Ws-to write in the style af the calendarl soothsayers, through the printed pages of the month of January, expect snow about these days The price of the time lost when it is most valuable, in putting the ex- posed articles in proper repair, no. speak, ing of the cost of the materials and the in- terruption of business, would detray the ex. penses of erecting ten such sheds as would cover them from the storms, protect then, from decay, and keep them ready for im- mediate use.-NationaI Egis.
 4 Found1sag.-An infant about four months old was found on "Wednesday night, in the hall of house in Broome street, where it had probably been abandoned by it's unnatural mother- The respectable in- mates of tho house immediately provided for the child, and yesterday proceeded with it to the office of the commissioners of the aIn'sItonse. Tn the interim, however, the solicitude felt for tine restoration of the child's health, and tho success which atten- ded their exeStions to effect it, had accom- plisl.sd more for tbe infant in the breasts of the family who had found it, thaa could Do presumed to exist in shat ofthe mother who deserted it, for, on she lady who carried it presenting the child to the commissioners, there was n,anifestly a reluctance to part with it. The child. who had been well dressed by the family, and was in reality very pretty, just ss she was about to hand it over, opened pretty blue eye. and with playS0I smile, clong to the iady.- This fo her was irresistible, and she frank ly expressed the regret she would feel at parting with the infant under such circ0m- stances. Tho commissioners who saw the action of the infant, and felt for the sympathy of she lady, immediately prOpos- ed that inc child should remain with her, which was promptly acceded tc and taken home. In the mean times pemorabdUni was taken by the commissioners of circonI- stances, and the name of Lavinia Broome given to the foundiing. York C0nr. ' sl.tB @ '
