occurs, or to blow them ky-high whom they mean
to burst their boilers, 20 that they may be saved
the doctors bills, pains, and torment, which would
be inflicted on them in case the job were only
half done. They may think that the estimate for
deprivation of limbs is rather high but they must
recolect that wooden legs and arms are very high,
in consequence of the business OF manufacturing
them being monopolized by a few philanthropists,
who charge pretty high for such affairs. This pc
culiar branch of the fine arts will, however, no
doubt, prosper when this bill passes, and many
other artists will engage in it. This will have the
effect of producing competition, and of course re-
ducing prices. This may have been in tho minds
of our sapent Legislators who drew up the bill In
addition to the sum provided for punching out an
eye, the Legislature might, in addition, declare
that the sufferer should also be provided with an
artificial orb, for believe the manufacture of such
articles has been brought to wonderful perfection
OF late years. However, shall leave this branch
of the subject entirely in their hands, confident
that the collective wisdom of the Legislature will
be found equal to the task of making this and all
other parts of the bill complete.
"TxARs AND SMnEs"-The party newspapers
at Washington, just now, present very amusing
illustration of L'Allegro and II Penseroso. Of
course the work of removal goes on gloriousy /;
and the cries Of the victims minging with the joy
GUS shouths of the fortunate beggars, make up one
of the most exquisitely ludicrous chorusses that
ever was written or dreamed of by any composer
Old Mr. Richie is diligently engaged in pouring
balm on the wounds of the sufferers and if
We are to believe him, the country has sustained
An irreparable loss in the election of the Smiths,
Hobbses, and Joneses, who will no longer smoke
cheap segars and whistle " Hail Columbia" in the
various departments. On the other hand the We
nerable Gales exhausts the language of eulogium in
announcing the entrance of the new race of Off
Gals in the discharge Of their awfully responsible
duties. Meanwhile, the good people of the city of
washington, who conscientiously believe that the
federal government moves, lives, and has its being
for their sole and especial benefit, are calculating
the chances which the new dynasty is likely to az
ford them for the exercise of that peculiar hospi-
tally for which they have been always so remark
able. Thus, they have merry times in the Chris
tian village of Washington.

FREAKS OF LEGIsLATIos.-It is proverbial that
Legislative and deliberative bodies occasionally are
guilty OF some curious things, altogether at vari-
ance with the dignity which we suppose them to
be invested with, and in many instances positively
Aa0ghter-provoking The combined wisdom
at Albany is not exempt from this failing, as the
history of its proceedings during the last week will
testify. Within that period bill was introduced
having for its especial object the exact value. in
dollars and cents, of human life, according to
scale framed for the occasion by that body. In
oiner words, it is bill limiting the compensation
to be paid by a corporation persons causing
death by neglect, or wfu act or accident, on rail-
roads TO the sum of five thousand dollars good and
lawful currency
Now, this is really very funny affair but it
does not go far enough. If the Legislature of the
Empire State have the power to fix valuation on
human life, they certainly exercise it in cases
Were not death, but severe injury, such as los
ing an arm, leg, an eye, or half dozen teeth, by
accidents on railroads, ensues. If they have the
power in one case, and exercise il, they have il
in the other, and should use it. AS, however,
they have not yet undertaken TO 60 into the minu-
tie of the business, but have satisfied themselves
with laying down the price Of killing men on
railroads, we shall give them our assistance in ar
irving al rate of damages TO be recovered by per-
sons who may hereafter be injured, but not NOR
tally, in this manner We will commence with

FATTENING CATTLE WITH MIXED FooD-AScotch-
man who fattens $50 head of Galloway cattle, an
nualIy, finds it most economical to feed with bruis
ed fax seed boiled with meal barley, oats, or In
dian corn at the rate of part flax seed to three
parts meal by weght-the cooked compound to be
afterwards mixed with oat straw or hay From
four to twelve parts of the compound are to be
given to each beast per day. Would it not be well
for some of our farmers who stafeed cattle to try
this or a similar mode We are by no means GER
tain that ordinary food will pay the expense of
cooking; but fax seed is known to be highly nu-
trtious and cooking would not only facilitate its
and health of the animal would be likely to hasten
its thrift

TIMELY HINTS ON GARDENNG.-The first half of
this month is usually too cold, and the ground too
wet for much to be done in the garden, except
cleaning up. pruning manuring DC. Grape vines,
fnot already trimmed, should be attended to with
out delay, otherwise they will bleed when cut. 9th
er kinds of pruning may be done at any time be-
fore the leaves open.
GRATING will be in time next month, but the
seions should be cut Immediately, if not already
done. Root grating can be done now, in doors.
In southern Ohio, if the weather proves fayora-
bic, garden planting may commence early this
month with such articles as peas, parsnips, onions
lettuce, &c. these are not injured by spring frosts
and may be put in the ground coon as it is in
good order Cultivator.

IMPROVED ROAD -scRAPER-Messrs. c. Schofeld
and G. j. Johns, of Albion, Illinois, have made a
very useful improvement on a scraper for making
and repairing common roads, which should be
adopted and employed by all our farmers in every
township It is especially useful for new settle
ments. The improvement consists in combining the
scoop with plow and having the scoop fixed to the
standard by swivel joint so that by catch lever
connected with it. the scoop can be emptied with
the greatest ease without tumbling the scoop,
which has to be done with the scrapers at present
in use.
