The PEARLs.-The Albany Evening Jour-
nal, in speaking of this subject, says that it
would be hard to tell whether most JOY or
sorrow has been caused at Notch Brook by
the discovery Of the pearls. Dozens are be-
moaning fortunes that, in days past, they
carelessly flung away. One matron una
vailingly signs over some little white
things" that she once gave her boys for
marbles. A schoclmaster lugubriousiy re-
member. that he has chopped up eight or
ten thousand dollars worth, with his pen
knife, "to see what was inside" Another
genius rammed pearl bullet down his rifle,
and shot away his fortune. An cid lady
who chuckled six months over her good
bargain with the pedlar," now discovers
that she paid him in pearls, about seven
thousand dollars for calico dress 1t is
nesdless to say that she hasn't laughed
since. The unfortunate man who had the
$25, 900 cooked for his breakfast, has taken
to his bed. in utter despair, and refuses to
be comforted.

LABOR SAVING Soar Dissolve quarter
of a pound of lime in a gallon Of cold water,
then take of the clear; dissolve half a pound
of soda in a quart Of water, and mix it with
the clear lime water. One pound Of brown
soap dissolved in gallon Of water is then
to be added to the clear liquor formed with
the sal soda and lime water and thus forms
the soap. This soft soap is excellent for
boiling white linens it removes all grease
that is in them, because it contains an excess
of caustic lye. About one quart of it is
sufficient for boiling clothes in ten-galion
wash kettle. A quantity Of this may be
made up and kept for constant use.-Seien-

EQUALITY OF RACES AS DEMONSTRATED BY
CpICkESs AND BLACKBIRDS.-Thc Somerset
(Pa.) Democrat says that sometimes last fall
a blackbird came to Mr.. Joseph Snyder'S,
in that borough, and has since lived content
edly with the chickens 1t has become
thoroughly domesticated, and comes regu-
larly for its food. Instead of rOOsting /: S
the chickens do, it takes position on the
ROSTERS back, who bears the weight Of his
little friend with great good nature. But
the most singular Of all is, that it has learn
ed to crow like a cock, and crows regularly,
more frequently than the rooster, and seems
10 be vain of its accomplishment. 1t is a
bona tide crow, clear and loud, similar 10
that Of a young rooster The bird can be
seen and heard daily; and if any one doubts
its truth, they can be convinced by seeing
and hearing for themselves. The age is
progressive, and the birds are keeping up
with the times.
