Cur orr TnE Back l.rGs or YOUR CHAIRS

thousand things not worth half US much have
been patented and elevated into business.
1t is this. II you cut of the back legs ol
your chairs 50 that the back part OF the sea,
shall be two inches lower than the front part,
it will greatly relieve the fatigue Of sitting,
and keep your spine in much better shape.
The principal fatigue in sitting comes from
your sliding forward, and thus straining tn,
licamcnts and muscles in the small OF tn,
back. The cxpcdicnt have advised will OBJ
yiate this tendency, and, as have suggested
add greatly to the comfort and healthfulns'
Of the sitting posturs.
The front edge Of chair should not b
more than fifteen inches high. for the avcrag'
man. nor more than fourteen for the averag'
woman. The average chair is now seventeen
inches high for all, which no amount o

the men are able to report for duty. Each
tent isproyided with o stove. but with the
cold December winds whistling round the
tents and into every crevice in the floor, q
continual fire is required in order to keep
comfortable. The men are quite anxious to
commence the emigmtion southwark to
warmer regions, and to their future duties.
Tho regiment was provided with Enfield
Muskcts a few days since, and have made
much proficiency in the manual Of arms.
We were honored the other day with the
presence of Gen. Butler. and the regiment
appeared before him for general review and
inspection Of arms. The General was highly
pleased with the regiment, and styled 1t "the
regiment Of the Brigade" Indeed, its praise
is in the mouth of oil whcrefer we go. Yes
terday afternoon at o'clock both regiments
attended briet Divine service held in q
large building upon the grounds. Tie
services were conducted by our much beloved
Chaplain, the Rev. Joseph Colby, who is
ever faithful in the discharge OF his many
duties, and much respected by the regiment.
The interest manifested in the services, and
the quietness which prevailed in so large
concourse Of men, was trnly worthy OF note.
We are expecting soon to move towards
"Dixie's land"--perhaps the last Of this
week. The steamer Illinois is chartered to
convey us from Boston to our place OF des-
tination wherever 1t may be. We shall
probably touch at Fortress Munroe to join
the rest OF the brigade, anything further is
entirely conjecture to us. Wherever our lot
may be cast. AIN sure the Maine 18th will
act with credit to itself and honor to the

Hints for December.

I. Clear up the lanes and roads about
your farm. Don't Let them be blocked all
winter with those old slcds, rails, logs and
filth generally. A good farmer don't need
this hint. II is intended for the thriitless
aud sloycnly, and they are the very ones who
never read the Ohio Farmer.
II. Buildings should never be painted IN
no, or wet weather. The best time to paint
out.bniidinrs is either now or early next
spring. The paint will strike In better and
be more durable.
III. Form clubs for the discussion OF top
les connected with the farm. These should
have a god agricultural library, and meet at
leas. twice each month. Aside from the az
riculturai information acquired at such clubs,
the social value may be immense.
Nv. Next TO farmers clubs, the best thing
for the amusement and instruction Of neigh
borhoOd is village lectures. Get your most
intelligent men to lecture on some topic. say
once each week or month.
V. If your fall work is done, YOU ean'
before the very cold weather sets in, haulou'
your manure. A load Of manure hauled
out in the fall is worth two loads hauled in
the spring; besides you have time TO haul Il
now-you may be too busy next spring.
vi. For the credit Of good husbandry,
don't pasture your meadows to death this
fall. IL Is now time they were clear Of ami
mails, and the animals themselves would be
better under shelter.
VII. As the evenings grow colder and
longer. read your agricultural paper atten.
lively, and think over your plans for sprinS
work. Work well laid out is Cne fourth
done. We trust the coming year win be
prosperous one to the farmers Of the North
ern States. The rebels will be thorough
thrashed by spring; farm produce will b
high, and II q kind Providence gives us
fruitful. as well as peaceful season, busine'
will again prosper.
VIII. Be sure to keep good. bright an
cheerful fires during thewinter; get the be
oil lamps. and spend your long evenings
profitable reading or conversation. Ever
good father who roads this, will omit nothiu
that he can afford which viii add to the con
