VERY CHEAP IcE-HousE.--A subscri-
Der of Rockford, Illinois, sends us the
following plan for cheap ice house {:
" For the benefit of those who wish to
enjoy little cool luxury during long,
hot summer days, send you the plan
OF cheap ice-house, in which | kept
ice from February to October, using
from 1t every day after warm weather
commenced. Nailed up a peu, 10 by
IL feet, 4 feet on the ends, feet on
the sides, leaving the gable ends open
the ground descended about one foot
in twelve-filled in saw-dust about 6
Or inches deep--sawcd the ice as
square as possible with a cross-cut
saw, and packed it in, leaving the
space OF foot on the sides all around.
Pounded the cracks between the ice
full of fine ice filled the space around
with saw-dust, stamping it down so
as to make it as close as possible
then covered the whole IL or Is inches
deep with saw-dust and put on the
roof. After warm weather commenced
l generally went over it once week
to see if there was any melting if
there was pounded the place full of
saw-dust. This house will hold from
y to 81 cords. If it is allowed to
freeze solid, more will be wasted than
used. l have tried that plan, but if
left as it is packed you can roll out a
block and saw Of with hand saw as
much as is wishcd.-Rurot ". Y
A stock of ice sufficient for all uses
from June till October, or as long as
ice is a luxury Or necessity, put up in
the manner above described, will not
cost over ten dollars year. Who
will deprive himself and family of the
luxury Of ice where it can be SO easily
and cheaply obtained.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-Judge Donald
son, at the recent term of the District
Court for Goodhue county, Min, (ac-
cording to the Red Wing Sentinel, }
charged the jury, cmpannelled in the
case of Packet VS.. Rice, that a per-
son occupying Government lands with
the intention of pre-empting them,
cannot lawfully divest himself of his
right, by selling out his interest in
the land, and therefore the note upon
which the suit was brought, could not
be collectcd-the consideration of it
having been quit-claim deed for for
ty acres of Government land, with
the improvements.
This, says the st. Paul Times, will
cause considerable surprise, as it re-
moves all the old decisions, and upsets
all previous notions on that subject.
There is much paper of the character
of the above in existence, and doubt
less its holders begin to feel some
what alarmed

The CHoCTAws.-TheF Far West says:
" The Choctaws have permanent
fund of more than a million dollars in
the hands Of our Government, includ-
ing a million dollars set apart for
school purposes. The interest is paid
annually, affording them a revenue of
sixty thousand dollars, which meets
all their governmental and education
al expenses, and obviates the nccessi-
ty of taxes. There arc ten mission
boarding schools in the nation, al
which, in addition to the common and
higher English branches, the boys are
Systematically exercised at farm la,
Dor, and the girls initiated into the
manifold mysteries Of housewifery.'
There are now some six hundred child
ren in regular attendance the schools
being under the superintendent Of
the Methodist and Presbyterian
Churches.

FREEDOM OF OPINION AT THE SOUTH -
The Washington Constitution has a
vehement attack upon Hon. Edward
Bates, as "about the only Southern
Abolitionist in existence" Except his
approval of the Fugitive Slave Law
it sees no difference between his posi-.
ton and that of Giddings. 1t is quite
sure the body Of the Republican Par,
ty will never accept man so ineffa,
bly, inferior to Corwin as Mr.. Bates
and that, in the South, there is not a
corporal's guard who dare to sustain a
man who holds in substance the same
opinions as Gov. Seward"

Thou canst trust thy labor to him,

Thou canst bind him with his band

He will gather thy seed into the

His strength is terrible, in which lie

The glory of his nostrils is his pride
his neck is clothed with thunder.
He pawcth in the valley, and wax

Lo now, he moveth his tail like "a

His bones are like strong pieces of
brass, yea, like bars of iron.
He eateth grass like an OK behold
he drinketh up river, and trustcth
thai he can draw up Jordan in his
mouth.
Who can open the door of his face :?
yet thou canst approach him with a
bride. His teeth are terrible round
about.

And his tail sticks out behind"

TERRIBLE ENGINE OF DEsrRUCrIoN.-A
discovery, which occupies the Emper-
or of the French for the moment, to
the exclusion of all other discoveries
OF the same nature, is a new machine
for the arming Of ships Of war, which
is said to be the most terrible engine
Of destruction yet invented. This ma
chine consists in combination of a
whole broadside being constructed so
as to be fired at once, and to be direct
ed to any given point, so that no enc
my's ship, however powerful, could re-
sst the shock, which would sink
whole fleet, if within range. The

SICK WOMEN on THE CARs-Was you
ever, when riding on the railroad"
requested to give sick lady a seat" ?
If You can answer in the negative you
will be interested in our experience.
The train was crowded. One crino-
line found it difficult to occupy four
seats unmolestcd. Passengers had
rights, and Miss McFlimsey must eth
er pay for or surrender all but one
seat. Pouting didn't have any effect
We watched to see how the matter
would end. Didn't wait long. Was
touched on the shoulder, and asked po-
lltely if we wouldn't "give a sick la
dy seat" No vacant ones could be
found for her. Certainly, we would
a sick LADY," OF course it was
insulting to suppose we wouldn't. The
seat was vacated, and we looked
around to discover the inratid-poor
woman .--Welghed at least one hun
dred and seventy pounds, Though
that may be difficult matter to esti-
mate accurately, but such look !!
1t was distressing! The gentleman
with her was obliged to sit beside her
in order that she might recline upon
him. Two of us were atloat. We
could walk between the seats through
the car, or hold on to the door knob,
or stand on one foot and then on the
other. We saw six similarly sick
women Oh that train. We cannot say
they did not look sick. Their looks
were very affecting-not to say affect
