A CRY Full OF GRAN.-The total amount
Of grain Exclusive of rye and barley in store
at the present time IN Chicago is calculated at
3900,SI0 bushels. The warehouses arc so fun
that they will hold no more, and the current re-
ceipts have to be put into vessels. All the rail-
way companies excepting the Rock Island and
Burlington have given instructions to their
agents not TO receive any more grain in bulk at
their respective stations for the present.

his backing bottle, polished his face and hands,
put on his livery and knocked at the lady's door.

master to madame. He had spent the last five
francs in the purchase. Madame was SO delight

BOYS AND TOBACCO "A sensible writer ad
ministers o wholesome dose to boys who use
tobacco. Indulgence 10 the filthy weed has
utterly ruined thousands Of boys, inducing q
dangerous precocty, developing, softening
and weakening Of the bones, and greatly
injuring the spinal marrow, the brain, and
the whole nervous fluid. A boy who early
and frequently smokes, or 10 any way uses
large quantities Of tobacco, never is known to
make man of much energy of character,
and generally lacks physical and muscular as
we'll as mental energy. We would particu-
larly warn boys who want to be anything iu
the world to sbun tobacco as q most baneful
poison. 1t injures the teeth, produces NOR
bid condition Of the throat and lungs, COM
promises the stomach and blasts the brain
and nerves. Those twelve years old speci-
mems Of Young America who strut about the
streets at the hind end of q long nine, ought
to be regularly spanked and put to bed by
their mammas.

1t prevents not only the decay of wood. but
conduces greatly to the healthfuness Of all
buildings, whether Of wood or stone. Out
buildings and fences, when not painted,
should be supplied once or twice every year
with good coat Of whitewash, which should
be prepared in the following way: Take a

cask, and put into it half busbel of lime.
slake 1t by pouring water over it, boiling hot,
and In sufficient quantity to cover it five
inches deep, and stir it b.iskly till thoroughly

dissolve it in water, and add two pounds of
sulphate OF zinc, and one of common SALT
These will cause the wash to harden, and pre-.
vent its cracking, which gives an upseemy
appearance to The work. IL desirable, q
beautiful cream color may be communicated
to the above wash, by adding three pounds OF

For fawn color, add four pounds lumber

er-one pound Indian red, and one pound OF
common lampblack. For common stone
color, add four pounds OF raw unber, and two
pounds lampblack. This wash may be ap-

THE RUSSIAN Consul KILLEp.-About nine
o'clock on Thursday morning week, Mr.. John
De Natback. the Russian Consul, and his wife
were enjoying ride on horseback in the Central
Park, Now York. when the animal which Mr..
De N. was riding took fright, and became wholly
unmanageable. The horse ran from the Park to
the BloomiRgdale road, and thence down Broad
way at furious rate, Mr.. De N. having relin-
quished the reign and clung to the neck of the
animal. At Forty-ninth street, Mr.. DE Nattback
was thrown from his saddle and fell head fore
most to the pavement. He was Immediately
picked up and taken to the Twenty second Ward
Stationhouse, where medical aid was procured,

accident occurred. His lady followed the runa-
way horse, and reached the spot where her hus.

Air--Old English Gentleman.
I'll sing you a song Of Printer boy,
Whose bright and honored name
Stands forth in glowing capitals
Upon the scroll Of Fame;
Who, in the days that tried mems souls,
In Freedoms darkest night,
Stood msbfully with WASHINGTON,
And battled for the right.
BEN FRANKLIN was that Printer boy,
One Of the olden time.
And 'twss that boy who few bis kite
To the thunder clouds on high,
And brought the forked lightning down
From regions OF the sky;
Twas be who caught the fiery horse
And trained him to the chase,
Till now he's driven safe by Morse
Into the Printers case.
BEN FRANKLIN was that Printer boy,
One Of the olden time.
Long shall tho world extol bis name,
The Patriot and the Sage;
Who, fully justified by faith,
Is proved on every page;
His form, corrected and revised,
Is now ,rorked off and pressed;
neW edition in the skies,
A star among the blest.
All honor to that Printer boy,
One of the olden time.
And now my brother typos. take
This leader for your guide;
E6lloW corrected copy, and
All errors mark outside;
Be frugal, chaste and temperate
Stick to the golden rule,
And you shall shine among the stars
In the printing office school.

How TO MAKE GOOD WBITEwAsH FOR IN
DooRs.-At the request of many subscribers
who have not read the previons volumes OF
the Agriculturist, we here republish the di.
rections given two years since for the best
wbltewash we have ever used. For moder-
ate sized house, say 8 rooms, about thirty.
three lbs. Paris white snd one ID. best white
glue needed. Dissolve the glue in hot water
also make q thick wash with the Paris white
and hot water, and add the dissolved glue
and sufficient water to make the wash of the
proper consistence. As the mass stiffens
over night, it is better.to mix each morning
what is wanted during the day. If left over
night, warm. or add hot water to make it
lImpid.
The Paris white is chslked cleans from its
impurities, and is only very pure whiting
better than is ordinarily used for making
putty. We use the Cooper Glue, which is
considered the best here, but any good white
glue will answer. 1t costs here SO cents per
Id. at retail, and the Paris white cents per
pound. Both articles can be obtained 10 al.
most every city or village.
The above makes an excellent whtewash,
clean and white, and not easily rubbed of.
Its fret cost is more than lime wash, but is
more durable, and for nice rooms it is far
preferable.

to be excellent for pnttng around the rosts
Of peach trees and gooseberrv bushes 10 the

use whatever, but as they contain some ira

ICoai ashes no doubt possess some fertizng
powers; but they are excellent iu tightening
heavy soil, and answer a good purpose in
trenching for grapes, to place above the bot
tom rubbage. In garden avenues We prefer
it to any other material. Remove the SOIL il

Of coal ashes, then roll You will have a
