IN tho hot days OF midsummer, Is n luxu-
~, and no mistake-and no man who has
a family need be without 1t on account OF

readers directions about building ice houses,

We propose to give our readers new
recipe-new to US, at least.
j. ". ThOrp, Of llillsboroush Bridge
one Of the inventive men OF the day, kept
ice out of doors, and had plenty to spare
last September. lie threw down four foo,
wood upon a space eight feet square. suili''
lent to keep the ice from the ground. The
spaces between the sticks were filed with
sawdust or tan. The ice was then packed
snugly, in pyramidal form. To make the
mass more compact. in order to keep the mir
from it, IA few pals Of water were thrown
over 1t. Tho mass was then covered with
sawdust.
We are inclined to think ice will keep in
this way better than any other. The evap.
grafton from the outside carries OF the
heat. and the mass keeps cooler than 1t
would il shut up in a tight house. There
appear, to be philosophy in this method.

LANDS FOR AGRICULTURAL CoLLEGEs.-It
is reported that strenuous efforts were made
by some of the leading Southern politicians
to induce the President to veto the impor-
tant bill which has passed both Houses APP
propriating to the States 10000 acres of
land for each Representative and Senator
they have in the present Congress, and the
same amount for each additional Represen-
tative the State may have in the -apportion-
ment after the next census. With our pres
ent delegation we shall be entitled to 26O,-
900 acres of land, which, if well selected,
ought to be worth, in few years, half a
million of dollars-enough to endow a
most valuable and useful institution. 1t
will be seen that our Legislature is making
the necessary provisions by law to receive
and secure our portion of the bounty.
