Too Coon TO DE LosT.-A few days
since, good old lady residing in little
village in Pennsylvania, meeting farmer
in the street, with load of hay, inquired of
him if it was for sale. On being answered
in the affirmative, she requested him to turn
his team around and drive to her husbands
yard some quarter of a mile distant. Her
request was complied with and after the
barn yard was reached, the old lady inform
ed the teamster that she wanted a cents
north Of hay for hens nest, and that while
he was throwing it off she would step into
the house and get the change The driver
was ungallant enough to abuse the old lady
and her hens, and refused to retail his hay.

"BApy WALKER."-The "Baby Jumper"
is great continuance, decidedly but it is
to be ecEpsed by new invention, termed
the "Baby Walker" which is thus descrlb-
ed by the albany Express:
And now another great invention has been
produced. which in simple terms, is nothing
more nor less than "Baby Walker" Aye,
reader, a "Baby Walker" arranged for
directing the erring steps Of the little one,
whose limbs fail to afford the requisite sup
port for such purpose. Its form resem-
bles somewhat common parlor ottoman,
though in the top is cut hole INTO which
the baby is placed, and secured from falling.
A small saddle is suspended beneath the
hole, upon which the infant rests, its feet
touching the floor. The saddle is support
ed on springs which give the up and down
movement at every motion of the little oc-
cupant. The contrivance is placed upon
casters, and can therefore be pushed around
the room by the youngster, with the utmost
ease.
We do not know the name of the ingen-
ous inventor; however, it will become prom
inent in time. He certainly is entitled to
the thanks Of the mothers of the land.
We have query to suggest about that
small saddle, to wit whether side saddle
is not used for the female babies, or wheth-
er 1t contemplates that they are to be dress
ed la Turk.
