TIE Law OF LEAP YEAR.

We suppose no unmarried lady is ig-
norant of the right she possesses this year
to "pop the question" to the bachelor
friend on whom she may set her afec-
tions, but she may not be aware of a
claim, to which an antiquarian cores
pendent of the London Notes and Que
ries has called attention. According to
this authority, the hard-hearted bachelor
who should refuse the fair hand and &C.
~companying heart of the proposing .
damsel, must pay q penalty in the shape
of a silk dress of the lady's own choos-
ing. Prorided, ah0ays, that at the time
the " question F" is popped" the " pop
per" must wear a scarlet petticoat, OF
which a portion at least must be visible
to the "poppee." The writer i~nsinuates
that this tradition has sonnet ing to dc
with the fact that scarlet petticoats fern
part of the fashions for the season.

~ A private letter from Ft. Smell

* A private letter from Ft. Smell
ling, Minnesota, dated 25th of January,
informs US that from the Goth of Deem
Der to the 18th of January the thcmom-
eter ranged from twenty-seven to thirty
three degrees below zero, and that the
troops were completely frozenEin. One
man of Company I, Tenth Regiment of
Infantry, was frozen to death, and
eight or ten other soldiers had their fin
gers frozen one morning while1mounting
guard.
AN EXTENSIVE DAMN. Merriam,
the weather man, who writes a great deal
about almost everything, says that he
has seen in Upper Canada, near the OF
tawa, a beaver dam three hundred and
ten feet long, seven feet high, and eight
feet wide, upon which trees as large as
any in that forest were growing. It
flooded an immense surface, and was
constructed with as much science, to ap-
pearance, as if it had been the work Of
human hands.

sMALLHoRsEs.

The arguments may all be in favor
Of great size, but the facts are all the
other way. Large horses are more
liable to stumble and be lame than
those Of the middle size. They are
clumsy, and cannot fill themselves so
quick. Overgrown animals Of all de-
seriptions ale less useful in most
kinds Of business, and less hardy
than those Of smaller size. If the
CRY is to be resorted TO in order to
determine such questions, we suggest
to the lovers of overgrown animals
the following: The largest Of any
class are Of unnatural growth. They
have risen above the usual mark,
and it costs more to keep them in po-
sition than it would were they on a
level with their species. "Follow ma
ture," is rule not to be forgotten
by farmers. Large men are not the
best for business, large COWS are not
the best for milk; large oxen are not
the best for travelling; large hogs are
not the hogs to fatten best; and large
hens are not the best to lay eggs
Extremes are to be avoided. We
want well formed animals, rather than
zach as have large bones, Odd as il
HAY seem to theorists, short-legged
soldiers are better on march, and the
officers say they endure hardship:
longer thon those of longer limbs
On choosing horse, take care, by
all means, that bis legs are short
If they are long, and split apart like
pair of dividers, never inquire the
price Of the householder. Run fol
your life, and make no offer.

Bee Hipe<-Among other impor-
tant duties deyolying upon the far
mer during winter, that of repair
ing tools, making new ones, and pro-
viding generally those articles of hus-
bandry that require mechanical skill
and genius, and that can be done
within doors, not among the least Of
which is the making of houses for
the honey bee--for every farmer
who is fond Of the good things of this
life should have at least one swarm,
and more. if he has an eye to the
profits
A friend who has supplied us for
the last two years with the incest
honey, gave US not long since a bit
of experience in the construction Of
hives which is worth considering by
way of one who keeps bees.
For several years his bees were
troubled by the miller, during which
time bis hives we're made of soft wood,
At length from necessity they were
made of hard wood, since then, bis
bees have not in a single instance
been troubled.

CURE FOR WAsp-STNe.-In pick
ing peach from the tree; the writer
was so severely stung in the finger
by a yellow wasp (called, by untaught
boys, "yaller jacket as to cause the
effusion of blood, to produce pain E.
ven up to the shoulder. Saleratus,
mide into a paste with water, was
soon applied as poultice, and in half
an hour had so completely neutrali-
zed the acid poison, that the swelling
had entirely gone down, and nothing
remained but the soreness oecasioned
by the puncture. This application
has proved better than liquid ammo
MIA, SO far as limited trial has proved,
and is probably the best remedy for
stings generally. 1t is important
that the nearest alkaline substance
at hand should be applied till a bet
ter can be found, whether it be ammo
MIA, or even a paste offresh ashes
In the absence of any Of these, a
mud poultice is an excellent arpli-
cation.
