All that is necessary to do with ewes in
lamb is to allow them suffciency Of fresh
grass, shifting them from one part Of the farm
to another, 50 as to prevent the land from
getting foul. Keeping merely in flesh condi
ton is much more preferable than giving them
such keeping as win fatten them; for in this
case there is greater risk from inflammation
at hmbing time, and the lambs of fat ewes
ara always small. Sheep intended for the
butcher, or young sheep-that is, lambs Of
the past season-require to be kept different.

The Famous Black Doctor N Paris.

The New York Express gives this &C.
count Of Paris nOtability:
The medical and scientific world in
Paris have, for over year, been greatly
excited by the presence in that metropo-
lis of man who pretended to have dis.
covered sovereign cures for a variety Of
the ills that flesh is heir to, but whose
speciality was the cure of cancer This
person, whose name was NJ. de Vries
appeared suddenly in Paris, giving out
that he was Jayanese and came from
Surinam, by way Of Holland He was Of
swarthy complexion, and called himself,
or had his friends call him, the Black
Doctor. lie had plenty Of money, was a
man of fine presence, magnificent carriage,
great pomposity of manner with those
whom he wished to impress, and great
suavity with those whom he had already
won to his side. He gave excellent din.
ners, lived in elegant style, and always
counted among his most favored guests
the popular feuilletonists Of the Paris
daily press. He made his way quietly,
spending large sums, and apparently not
making much for sometime. He was as.
sidious in his attentions to the poor, treat
ing all their complaints without charge
and affording them the tenderest atten
tions without hope of reward of any
kind.
At last he was called to visit celebrity,
NJ. Sax, the world renowned inventor Of
the Sax-horn, who was afflicted with a
terrible cancer that threatened his life,
All the great physicians failed to give him
relief, but the Black Doctor cured him
efectually.
The whole city was now moved about
the Black Doctor, and his fame spread to
England and even to this country. He
had his warm admirers and his bitter op.
ponents; but preserved his calm, onward
course, regardless of praise or censure.
He lived in the greatest luxury; drove the
most elegant equipages and bore himsel
with the air of prince. His private
office was crowded with patients of wealth
and rank. His fees varied from one tc
forty thousand francs; and he never looked
at wealthy applicant for his services
without having one-third of the money
paid in advance. For month the Black
Doctor was at the pinnacle of fame; ir
the second month the faculty doctors who
had invited him to the hospitals, began tc
suspect that he was not all he pretended
to be, for his patients got worse instead Of
better. AT the end of the second month
NJ. Velpeau, who had brought him to the
hospital, reported to tho Faculty that the
Black Doctor was not fit to be trusted
with the lives Of patients, for oil the COZ
GERS he had under his charge were grow
ing worse, and some of his victims were
at death door. So the Faculty, nothing
10th, voted M, dc Vries humbug, ant
expelled him from the hospital.

What Constitutes an Infants wardrobe e

Should he, succeed in persuading any
credulous tradesman to give him credit
during this infantile period of his life the
law will exonerate him from payment
for any goods not necessary to his social
status. AS to what those necessaries
may be, the Courts have been from time
to time at wonderful pains to determine.
As some contribution toward the legal
knowledge of our readers, we may men
ton that it has been decided that 10 coats
Exclusive of regimentals) As waistcoats,
SO pairs of trousers, a black velvet dress
ing-gown, and d racingjaoket all fur
nishcd to q young officer in the Guards
between October in one year and July in
the next have not been considered to be
absolute necessaries. @There is rae
ingjacket charged for" said Baron Alder
son, before whom the question was tried,
"that can not be suitable to any degree
except that of q jockey, and if that were
to be considered necessary for young
gentleman, it will next be said that gam
bling is necessary for him. Eleven guin-
cas- for waistcoatl" proceeds the horri-
iicd Baron. "Can that be considered nee
cssary in any station Of life? If person
of full age orders these extravagant things
he must pay for them. If person Of
full age be extravagant enough and
absurd enough to order q coat to be made
of gold, and it was made and delivered to
him, beyond all question he must pay for
it but with minors the law is otherwise. u
Horses and gigs, too, have been deoreed
not to be necessities of undergraduate
life; nor can tradesman, says my Lord
Abinger, recover for dinners, soda water,
lozenges, oranges and jellies supplied to
a young gentleman at the Universities.
On the other hand, however, a horse has
been considered by Lord Denman a
necessary for chymists apprentice, who
has been recommended to take horse
exercise. And the other day, Gas bal
ance in favor of cap and gown, we were
gratifed to find that portraits Of DR..
Donaldson and the Dean of Ely were
admitted to be necessaries for an under
graduate, son of distinguished member
of the Evangelical Alliance. There is
also extant decision of Lord Ellenbor-
ough's, very applicable to the present
day land highly satisfactory, DO doubt,
to the tailors of this age), in which he
held that regimentals furnished to an in
FAINT who was member of volunteer
corps were to be considered necessaries
For the rest, this doctrine of necessaries
applies only to goods supplied to the in.
FAINT himself. Should he be husband
and father, he will be liable for necessa-
rics supplied to his wife and family AL

pedestrian; SO he kept ON the uneven
''tenor of his way" surveying Virginia

table until he reached the extreme head,
where he found an empty chair tilted for

that moment awaiting. A. made q
demonstration toward the vacant chair,

A Lawyer Retained for an Unexpected
flfeut. Ht

\
The San Andreas Independent tells the
following anecdote of Col. j., (Col James,
we suspect) San Francico lawyer, who,
during the late campaign, put up for the
night at hotel in one Of the northern
counties. The Colonel "went in" to Lit.
tie game Of poker, (now we're certain)
and ''went through" and soon crept OF
to bed. Soon after, a brawny specimen
of Pike, dressed in cleans" and wolfskin
cap, arrived in search of legal advice He
was taken Immediately to the Colonels
room, where, after wolfskin Ihad shaken
the legal gentleman into consciousness
the following conversation occurred:
"Are you Squire j"
"Yes, what do you want, old boy2"
"Well, Squire, reckon | shell hev ter
git feller o your sort fur tur plead a
lawsuit" 800
whats it about, my good man2"
"'Bout hoss.
Here tho Colonel was all attention
and courtesy. he raised himself on his
elbows and put his ear close to the clients
lips. Here, he at once concluded, was a
chance to get even on the nights losses al
poker--a $500, perhaps $500 horse in
dispute, and bright visions of q 500 fee
fitted rapidly across his mind. IN
Estate all the circumstances if you
please, my kind friend" t'
"Wall," said old wolf skin, Eyer see as

"Whats the damages2" roared the Col

"F-i.v-e dollars!'
His head suddenly popped under the
cover, and the now raving Colonel shouted
Take yourself out of this, I'm retained
for the snake!'
