Corn STALKs.--The best time,
place and way of feeding ont corn
stalks, is in the coolest weather we
have; but as far as that is concerned,
cattle will eat them any time, if they
are fed to them in the way that | am
about to state. propose in the first
pl9cc to cut up the stalks with a straw
cnttcr, fine enough to suit the farmer;
and when you give the stalks to the
cattle, or whatever you see lit to feed
them to, sprinkle meal on them. An.
other way is to steam the stalks and
meal together, and then the cattle
will eat all the stalks up; whereas il
you feed them ont without cutting, tho
stock will only eat just the leaves off,
and leave the stock, which is the very
best part Of the corn staIk; and when
the stalks are ont for m1nare, all far
merS can plainly see that they will
not rot or compost, and therefore
make it bad for handling manure;
but where they are cut mp they will
not bother the person in SO doing
The best place and form that | know
is to feed them in the stable; have
boxes or troughs for the cattle to cat
from: and then consider that they
will not waste so many OF the stalks
as they otherwise would. - GeneSSee

AN OLD STYLE SERMoN.-The Re.
cord refers, in high terms, to sermon
delivered by preacher at Oroyille,-
He took David and Goliath for his text
and with sufficient quantun of ''rat-
Ting and humping" expounded after
this fashion:
Nov, my hearers, what do you
suppose was the reason that David
was so mighty willin' to go out an
fight Goliar9 Was it because he wan-
ted to sarvo Godp

districts cried after them.

walking blindfold to the target and
boring a hole through it. Not one

blunders that are made cause a great

"GOOD MANSERs.''-The annual report on
the public schools of the city Of Lawrence. Mas.
has been published, and is n document worthy
of feStenSiye circulation. 1t was prepared by
Gen. Henry h. Oliver, the Superintendent of
the Schools, and is enriched with the results of
his long experience with popular educational
movements, and presents many sensible sug-
gestions and wise hints of general interest to
all parts OF the land. We especi tally commend
Mr.. divers words upon subject that calls
loudly for reform:
The law of the state requires that every
teacher shall be competent teach good man
hers. To do it, they must themselves be ex-
emplars of good manners, refined in their habits
and Of easy and graceful department Very
many, probably the majority, are 30; neglect,
Ia modern times, among teachers, to inculcate
the virtues, flor good manners are virtues), and
the omission OF all the old fashioned manifesto
tions "f thom on the part of childron, are too
unpleasantly obvious to be passed by with out
structure. In the place of these VIC End often
pert fOrwardness, presumptuous assurance,
and, not seldom, positive audaciiy Of impcr-
tinence
The absence of restraint at home the ilI-ju,ly-
ed indulgence, or the selfish love of ease, which
often prompt parent to be too little watchful
OF his children, all fruitful nourishers of this
fsult,-a fault for which even the God fearing
Eli was made to feel the awful udgmcnts OF the
Almighty. Manners easily and rapidly ma
ture into morals, and the neglect of the proper
culture OF the former shows itself in a coars G
and boisterous way of speaking, il rough replies
tO civil questions, in profane and obscene Ian
guage, and in rudeness and bad behavior al
public assemblies, where boOrish STAN ping Of the
feet shrin whistlings AMI ca;-calls, shrieks and
yells, disgust all civil and refined people, and
prevent all comfort and enjoyment OF W hat they
may have assembled to witness

ISrBNPERATE DUcKS.-The vicinity Of Hey
worth, in this county, is somewhat celebrated
for the immense number Of ducks which cOngre-
gate there every spring A gentleman who
lives there informs us that he and his neigh
bOrs have lived on duck flesh 80 long that they
have some fear of becoming webfOOted. A man
named Ben Taffe, fatigued himself so much by
loading his gun and killing ducks with fine
shot that he concluded TO il he could not kill
them with coarse whiskey. With that object
in view he came to this city and bought a gal
Ion of what il known by hard drinkers as ''sure
death '.round the corner" lie took it home
and soaked lot of corn in it, and left the corn
living around loose. The ducks swallowed the
corn without tasting the whiskey. and the con
sequence was that they becsme dead drunk !
few minutes They did not recover from their
first drunk until Mr. Taffe twisted their heads
from their bodies. About fifty OF them were
yictimiEed in less than an hour.-Bf0omipS

A FEMALE ExODUs.--On Tuesday last. lured
by advertisements and handbills n company
Of some l25 girls, old and young, gathered at
our depot, expecting to be taken 10 Salmon
Falls, y. IL. and furnished with employment
in the cotton mills at that place, and we are
sorry to say that the said advertisements and
hsndbills warranted their expectations Not
so, hOweyef, with the performance. On the ar
rival Of the train all were eager to obtain the
first seat, and many pressed into tho ears, only
20 learn that none would be taken except those
who had been personally engaged to 20. This
was damaging to the hopes of u large majority
of the anxious fair ones, the pent-up feelings
of many of whom found vent in imprecations
on the head Of the 'agent," for their disap-
pOintment-Others found relief i'm that peculiar
female weakness -tcars-while but few smiled
or OrcOngratulatsd theInse elves Oh " hat theyshould
have regarded as their good fortune. Many
hal been TO considerable expense in coming up
from remote places-a lOss which they are
doubtless lily able to bear. Only about 25 lucky
ones held tickets, and took their seats at this
station; 100 or more went away disappointed.
The agent had been gathering his company
from Og I, n burg AID, We learn had. when be
left our depot, from 10 To 80 gris ON the train
One Of the disappointed onesrwith turn OF
mind more philOsophic than her fellows, cOolly

The nj. C.. stroked his chin thoupbtfullv and
resumed, " L shall have to see NV friend
Commissioner Grab, and mention your name
faVorably for clerkship, but do not be dis
couraged If you have to wait a few weeks,
say hli the holidays are over You may then
hear from me by note" Having finished this
speech, Rlehilieu Gass waved his hand be-
nlgnly and resumed franking, as much "a TO
say good evening" So Nebat bowed and
withdrew, little disappointed it must be con
fessed, but still believing it the best that could
be done; as on additional reflection, he could
not avoid thinking that his patron. manners
had grown somewhat stately since his Congress
sional debut. But, whispered good natured
credulity, he has 50 much On his mind, and
then he has promised-he can do no more.
" No, exclaimed Nebat almost aloud, as he
strobe hopefully down Pennsylvania avenue,
Il will not do him the injustice to harbor sue h
mean suspicious
