Whitewash for Buildings.

In Do,0nin9's Country House the follow.
ing directions are given, which may be &C.
ceptable to our readers:
Take a clean barrel that will hold water
Put into it half barrel of uick-lime, and
slack it by pouring over it boiling water
sufficient to cover it four or FIVE inches deep,
and stirring it until Stacked. When quite
Stacked, dissolve it in water and aid two
pounds of sulphate of zinc, and one OF CON-
mon salt, which may be had at any of the
druggists, and which in a few days will
cause the whitewash to harden the wood
work. Add sufficient water to bring i, to
the consistency of thick whi,ewash.
To make the above wash of a pleasant
cream color, add three pounds of yellow
ochre.
For fawn color, add four pounds of um-
Der, one pound OF Indian red, and one pound
Of lampblack.
For gray or stone color, add four pounds
of raw umber and two pounds Of lampbIack.
The color may be put on with common
whitewash brush, and will be found much
more durable than common whitewssh.

Deacon W was a staid and honest
deacon in one of the interior towns of this
State. who had vein of dry, caustic humor
in his composition. The deacon had boy
of some dozen summers, who was inclined
to be ugly when not under the parental eye.
In school, especially, John vas a source OF
constant annoyance tc the teacher. One day
the mistress punished him for some misde-
meanor, and John went home, crying, to
enter his complaint, and told his father tina,
the mistress had whipped him. -.
what" exclaimed the deacon, elevating
bis eyebrows, 'been whipped!'
'Ya-a-as,' sobbed the boy.
'And did you let woman whip YEP shout
ed the old deacon.
'Ya-a-as. l couldn't help it,
'Weli, John, you little rascal, you 60 to
school tomorrow, and If Miss - under.

don't let woman whip ye if ye can help it,
Don't take any stick to strike with, but ye
may strike, scratch, bite and kick as much
as ye're mind to- ..--
The next day the boy went to school, ant
em5oldened by The permission given by his
father, was soon brought before the tribuna
Of violated rules. The tescher undertook tt
correct him, and he did as his father had tolt
him. The result was that John got mos,
unmerciful trouncing. and was thoroughly
subdued. When he went home he went L
his father, crying
'Well, dad, got an awful bad licking to
day.'
What! said the old deacon, have you le
that woman whip ye again!'
'Ya-a-as,' whimpered John. Il kicked her
and struck her, and 6t all could, but sh.
damned NE orfully.'
'Aha!' chuckled the humorous old deacon

The Reason of the Pleas of Guilty
in the Oberlin Rescue Case.

The Cleveland Herald, in mentioning the
pleas of guilty entered on Friday, by foul
of the Wellington defendants, in the slave
rescue case, says: -s.
The inside history of this matter has
been given by one of these defendants. /,
seems they had an interview, on Thursday
evening, with .the Marshal. who showed
them letter from Attorney General Black
nstructing the Marshal to resist any State
Court Habeas Corpus writ to the utmost,
ant by force. The Marshal said he should
refuse to obey any writ from the State
Court, and if he was arrested for contempt,
he expected to be released BY Judge Nc
Lean on writ of Habeas Corpus. The
Marshal stated that the law would be
thoroughly enforced against the Oberlin
men but there was no disposition to punish
severely the Wellington men. Under these
statements these men were induced to come
into Court and enter their plea, and receive
sentence as above.
In connection with this matter, it is
worthy of note, that Mr.. Wheeler, the
Rochester Postmaster, who was one the
main witnesses for the Government, and
who has been quite active in bringing about
a compromise with the Wellington defend
ants, demanded of these men five idolsrs
each for his services in their behalf
