Esop's Fables as valuable addition to
the Library of every parent. The odd
conceptions of the old philosopher in

be the most forcible methods of inculca-
ton. The parable was favorite form
of instruction by the Saviour and the
fable is merely parable without the

We invite that class of our readers

A GIANT HocsHEAp.-By walking OF
the head Of Central wharf, our readers
can see, in front of the cooper's shop
of Mr.. VIM. S. Philbrook, a hogshead Of
the following dimensions, namely,
length of slaves over ten feet; diameter
at head six feet; at hilge seven feet; ca.
paoity over twenty two hundred gollons.
The slaves are Of oak plank over two
inches thick, but the joints are as per-
feet as in a cask Of tho ordinary size.
This cask, we are informed, is to be
used for the purpose of making wine
from our domestic grapes. and it is a
singular fact that wine will make only
in a oask that has good bilge and ly.
ing on the biIge. Ii set upon the head
the wine will not make, and the
cause Of this is yet one Of the undis-
covered mysteries of fermentation.
