The PLyMoUrH MAsTopoN. Prof. Win
choll, in a letter to the editor of this pa.
per, says:
AT your request embrace tho first
mHmcnt or leisure to offer n brief notice of
the fossil remains recently discovered by
Mr.. G.. M. Shattuck in the township of
Plymouth, Wayne county,
81 have ms vet had only the oppo,tuni.
~ of seeing five teeth. These prove TO
be molar teeth from the lower jaw Of the
Mastodoa giganteus, three being from tho
left side and two from the right. The an.
terror one from the left side (if / recolcct
its characters correctly is single permanent
prc.molar, aud tho posteror two. like the
two on the right side, are the first and sec
ond true molars--tho third, which il the
largest Of all, not appearing 10 have been
developed at the time of tho animals
death. These teeth were I'll in bcauti
FIJI state Of preservation, still retaining
their CLASSY enamel a,d most Of the fangs
that belong to molar teeth. The tubercles
Of the crowns of the teeth wero but little
worn, showing, together with the absence
Of the third or largest true moar, that the
animal had scarcely attained full maturity.
Tho dimensions Of the teath were not cx.
traordinary for proboscideans, being from
two inches to four or five inches in antero
postcrior diameter along tho crowns, while
the third molar of an adult mastodon rang
cs from n to 81 inches in tn, Same di.
mcnsion.
II was informed by Mr.. Shaltuck that
he had had cxhumed fragments Of other
teeth, including piece Of one Of the iusks
several feet in lrngth; though the careless
ness Of visitors had caused considerable
damage to the latter,
"Mr. Shattuck retains tho custody Of
these remains, and promised to extend his
explorations in the hope Of making addi
ton discoveries, all which he wi civ in
tends to keep together. | shall visit the
locality in few days, and intend giving
further account in tho pages of tho Jomn-
al of Education. Accurate scientific de-
scripiions of these and other organic re-
naius will of course appear in the Geolog.

70 MAKE Butter IN FIVE MINUTES
WITHOUT CnURN correspondent
highly recommends the following receipc:
After straining the milk set it away for
about twelve hours for the cream to rise
(Milk dishes ought TO have strong handles
to lift them by) After standing as above
set the milk, without disturbing IT, on tho
S owe; let it stand here until you ot serve
the coating of cream on the surface as.
sumo 4 wrinklcd appearance, but be care
ful it does not boil, as should this be the
case the crcam will mix with the milk and
cannot be again collected. Now set it a.
way until quite cool, and then skim off
the cream, mixed with as little milk as pos
sible. When sufficient cream is collected,
proceed to make it into butter as follows:
Take n wooden bowl or any suitable YES.
sci, and having first scaded and then rims
cd it with cold water place the cream in
it. Now let the operator hold his hand in
water as hot as i; can DO borne for a few
seconds, then plunge it into cold water for
about minute, and at once commence
to agitato the cream 10y gentle, circular
iIlDtiuu' III i've i1lHuJcS or less the puttor
will have come, when of course, it must
be washed and saltcd according TO taste,
and our correspondent guarantees that no
better butter can be made by the best
churn ever invented. To those who keep
only ono COW, this method Of rmaking
butter will be found really valuable; while
quite as large quantity of butter is OBJ.
tained as by the common made, the skim
milk is much swecter and palatable. In
tho summer season il will usually bo found
necessary to bring the cream out of the
celler (say n quarter Of an hour before
churniny) 10 take tho excessive chill off.
In winter, place tho vessel containing
cream over another containing water TO
warm it; then continue to asitate tho
cream until tho cream has departed. Be-
fore washing the butter separate all the
milk you possibly can, as tho latter will
be found excellent for tea cakes. Butter
made in this manner will he much firmcr
and less oily in hot weather than when
made in the ordinary way.

MANNERS. Young folks should be man

MANNERS. Young folks should be man
ncrly. But how to be is the question. -
Many n good boy or girl feel that they can.
not behave themselves in the presence Of
company. They are awkward, clownish,
rough, they feel timid, bashful and self.ds.
trustful the moment they are addressed by
o stranger or appear iu company. There
is but one way to get over this feeling and
acquire graceful and easy manners; that is
to do the best they can all the time, at
home as well as abroad. Good manners
are not learned so much as acquired by
habit. They grow upon us by rse. We
must be corteous, agreeable, civil, kind, gen.
tlemanly and womauly at home, and then
it will soon become kind of second nature
to be so everywhere. A course, rough
manner at home, begets habit of rough.
ness which we cannot lay off if we try,
when we go among strangers. The most
agreeable people we have ever known in
company are those who are perfectly agree
BILE at home. Home is the school for the
best thing.

A Woman Murders her Husband and Son
and Commits Suicide.

A fearful tragedy occurred last Sunday
Mt lonely rm house, three miles from
Versailles, Ripley county, Indiana. The
premises were occupied by farmer named
John Windsor, his wife, and son, the
latter aged ID years. 1t seems that the
man and wor an lived unhappily together,
and their frequent violent alterations were
a subject of comment to the ncig ighborhood
Upon The afternoon of Sunday, their
daughter, who had been on visit to
neighboring acquaintance with whom she
remained several days, return ID homo, and
entering tho house was paralyzed by n
sight of such intense horror ; $ almost to
deprive her Of reason. Extended upon
tho floor, wcltc,ing in their blood, lay the
bodies Of her parents and her brothcr-
The man was lying upon his face near the
hearth witt, his head nearlJ severed from
his shoulders; tho body of the boy lay in
another part Of the 'oom with several mur
dcrous cuts in the head, aud closo by the
bloody weapon, a sharp axe, with which
this double deed Of horror had been con.
snmTatcd. In tho kitchen adjoil ing was
the bod Of tie wrctchcd woman, her
throat severed from ear 10 car, and largo
butchers knife, with which she had taken
her life, still claspcd in her hand.
1t is conj"ourcd that willie the husband
was in the act Of kin,!Iin. a fire upon the
hearth, his wife seized the axe and dealt
him the fatal blow which nearly severed
the head from tho body, and then turning
upon her son, who, from being in night
clothes, had evidently in alarm just arisen
from his bed, she despatched him with tho
samc weapon, after which she rushed into
the next apartment and concluded the
tragedy by the sacrifice Of her own life.
The poor girl, who is the sole survivor
of tic ii fatcd family, has received SO s'-
we're n shock from he scene which was SO |
unexpectedly revealed to her that she has
ever since been bordering on insanity.

Johnny Moore is the name of a bright
eyed jolly faced lad, twelve or fourteen
years of ago, whose invalid and widowed
mother, living on Morgan street, he help
to support by tho sale Of newspapers, and
by such errands and jobs MS he may chance
to fall in with. Johnny who is the hero
ofthe pleasant and truthful incident we
are about to record, is extremely neat in
his attire, though his clothes has not been
always of the best, and may have shown
in sundry patches and mcnded rents, the
results of both 'overty and frugal care. In
short, Johnny is just such boy as we
used to "r,ad about in Sunday school
books Yesterday morning, bright and
early. he was trudging along Broadway,
between Franklin and Washington street,
when he CHANGED to stumble against largo

to contain a largo number of bank notes
and papers. While he was meditating on
the sudden riches he had amasscd and
which he had slid into capacous pocket,

his good fortune, gentleman rushep by

placed the treasure Just as he had found it

that there was greater joy in that one
