Mr.. DEXTER MARSH, Of Greenfield,

interesting investigations into the Fossils oil
Massachusetts,. Mr. M. has already in his

dreds OF footprints of birds, including some
species not met with at any other location;
but no quadfupcis. This location is 'rnofe

two hundred feet above it. The tracks

Primitive Modes of Procuring waser.

In attempting to discover the origin, and
TO trace the progress Of the art OF raising
Water, we must have recourse to Asia, the
birthplace Of the Arts and Sciences;
whence, as from center, they have be-
come extended to the circumference Of the
Earth. 1t was there the original families OF
our race dwelt, and the inventive faculties
of Man were first developed. 1t was from
the ancient inhabitants Of that Continent
that much Of the knowledge, nearly all the
Arts, and not few Of the machines we pos
sess at this day, were derived.
That Man, at the first, initiated the low
er animals in quenching his thirst at the run
ming stream, there can be no doubt. 1t
was natural, and because 1t was so, his de-
scendants have always been found, when
under similar circumstances, to follow his
example The inhabitants Of New Holland,
and other savages, quench their thirst in
this manner, g.. e. by lying DOWN. The
Indians of California were observed by
Shelwock in 1719. to pursue the same
method. "When they want to drink they
go to the river"
The heather Deities, who in general
were distinguished men and women, who
were idolised after death, are represented as
practicing this and similar primeval Gus
toms. Thus Ovid describes Latona on a
journey, and languishing with thirst, she ar.
rves at brook,
And kneeliHg on the brink,
Stopped at the fresh repdst, prepared to drink,
But was hindered by the rapid race.

Care Of Sheep.

An opinion prevails, in some sections,
that sheep require no water during winter,
and that they actually do better without,
than with it, This, however, is great mis-
take, and one that not unirequently gives
rise to serious losses.
When permitted, sheep, though they are
capable from their peculiar structure and
habits Of subsisting longer time, probably,
without water than any other domestic ani'
NAL, will drink four TO eight times a day,
aud with evident advantage, particularly
during the winter when they are necessarily
restricted to dry and uusucculent food
which naturally engenders thirst, and re-
quires much drink 10 render the economy

there should always be watering trough
