Great excitement was caused ut Brooklyn,
n. Y, on Monday evening of last week, by a
rumor that the Navy Yard was to be seized by
a mob sympathizing with the Seccssionists.
The Fifth Brigade was ordered ont. and the
18th, lith AMI 23th regiments were assembled
at their armorics, ready for service at Il mo
ment's warning. The police of New York and
Brooklyn were also detailed for active duty,
in case of disturbance. Happily, there was
no foundation to the rumor, further than the
buster of gang of workmcn recently dis
charged from the Navy Yard, to whom the
government is in arrears.

Every farmer should raise it for home con-

TIE GUNS AT FoRT MouLTRIE-lti is said that
the Charlestonians are unable to drill out he
guns of Fort Moultrie so as to make them SER
viceable. Major Anderson did his work too
well. He not only spiked the guns, but hc
plugged them up and left their cavities filled
with powder. Now, then, an explosion is Ger
tain when the drill, coming from either direc-
ton. reaches the powder; and, daring as the
secessionists are. they will not waste their pre-
cious lives in this manner. So the only report
likely to come from the guns is that they are
unseryiccable

just finished your bath and hard fric-

Of tights, thick knit woollcn, or if your
skin will not bear this, then cotton
tights, which shall in either case fit
from the ankle to the wrist. Now
draw on over this first suit, another
suit of tights, which shall cover the
entire person from the ankle to the
wrist, and which shall be fully as
thick as tie Mickest uooliea sock Next
a very thick wooden stocking, and a
strong calf-skin boot, with good lin
ing and triple soles. Now you are
ready for that part Of your dress
which is peculiar to your sex. The
under skirts should be no heavier in
January than in July, for it is bad to
carry Il load suspended either from
your waist or from your shoulders,
and certainly very absurd to think of
keeping your legs and hips warm by
skirts which hang foot more or less
from them. Make the waist loose and
trifc shorter than the present fash
ion, and use no whale bones. Now
put on as much lace and ornament as
you pleasc--bc a very leader of the
fashions if you have the fancy for SO
mean a work, and if you desire it

cover that underneath all these founc-

which is keeping every part warm,
and protecting you against the disease
to which you and your family have a
tendency"
