singing, medling, and asking questions; in
short overturning the peace of society gem
orally for about thirteen hours out of every
twenty~four.
Every body wants to know what to do with
him-every body is quite sure that he can't
stay where they are. The cook can't have
him in the kitchen, where he infests the
pantry to get flour TO make paste for his kite,
or melt lard in the new sauce pan. If he
goes in the wood-shed, he is sure to pull the
wood pile down upon his head. Ii he be

for swindling; but he escaped arrest by
leaving the city by a circu. u.ious route.
The most remarkable feature in this ex-

Vulgar Errors in Law.

Ter5aL and uritten guarantee.-It is com.
monty believed that if a man accompanies
his friend to shop, and passes his word for
the debt he may there contract, the guaran-
tee is good in law. But this is q mistake:
the purchaser is the person to whom credit
is given, and the other can take the debt
upon himself only by means of a ,critten
promise.
7cHder in payment.-If you offer to
creditor what you conceive to be the Just
amount Of your debt, you think you have
made legal tender but that depends upon
your discretion in making it. If you clog
the offer with any condition, even the stipu-
lation for receipt in full. it is invalid; a
legal tender, to be good must be entirely un.
conditional.
Grill liability Of drunSards-Wc all

SULPHUR FOR PoULTRY.-Animal food is
found to be beneficial for poultry, increasing
the production of eggs. Aibumen contains
a small portion OF sulphur, and eggs seem
to have large quantity. This is manifest
ed by the effect on silver spoons used in eat
ing eggs, furnishing the silver sometimes,
almost to blacknesss; and also, by that very
disagreeable odor-sulphuretted hydrogen,
which arises from spoiled egg when brok-
en-. Hence. it is an interesting question,
whether sulphur may not be advantageousy
administered to poultry, Incorporated with
their feed ? and if so, in what proportion ?
