Another RroOkheId Cow.

NORTH BRooKFIELD, Sept. 49, 1868.
Editor Of the Spy:-Dear Sir.-In this
weeks Spy notice communication from G.
S. DUAL, of Brookfeld, upon the horse that
jumped into window in North Brookfield,
and the cow in Brookfed that jumped out
. We claim no credit for the horse, which is
owned in the goa-head town of Spencer; but
| should like to trot out my COW by the side of
that of friend Ayres. She is of medium size,
bright red, five years old. The quality of
high jumper might be nothing i'll cows fa-
vor. After so successfully escaping from the
barn window, she might ignore standing
fences, and bring up in corn-tield or garden.
Low jumping or crawling may be considered
a COW feat as well. Not many weeks ago, the
cowboy doubtless with whip in HANDY entered
my yard To drive the COW to pasture. She
Glanced to be in remote corner beyond the
pigs department-the fence between the an
imals not more than IL feet high Per
celvlng that she was Cornered, and having the
fear OF the whip before her eyes, she passed
over the fence iuto the pigs quarters.
The boy informed me of his predicament,
and to save the trouble of removing the fence
| babe her jump ont. As she refused to make
the attempt, took up stick, the sight of
which so excited her fear that she darted by
me and passed out at the opposite side,
through an opening in the enclosure of the
barn basement, made for pig way, into a
back yard. | have since measured the place
Of egress, and found its original dimensions to
be twenty-six inches high and eighteen inches
wide-snce enlarged by porker for his own
convenience, by breaking out the board on one
side, three inches wide from the sill at the
bottom, two thirds of the way up, making it
now twenty-one inches at the bottom and mid
die, and eighteen at the top. The ground in
side is Just even with the lower side of a seven
inch sill, and outside six inches lower. She
escaped without scratch, but not without a
struggle.
By the way, l have twenty stalks of corn,
planted in my garden about May lst The
seed came in letter from member of the
42d regiment NJ. ", from New Orleans. To-
day nearly half the stalks measure Gas they
stand unaided) twelve feet, and the tops of
the upper ears (two or more ON each stalk
are from seven to eight feet and four inches
from the ground, The corn bids fair to ripen
if frost don't come too soon.

tLoRNCE NIGHTINGALE ON DARK Rooms
Florence Nightingale's Notes on Nursing"
contain the following useful hints =
"a dark house is always an unhealthy
house, always an ill-aired house. always a
dirty house. Want OF light stops growth, and
promotes scrofula, rickc:s, &c, among chill
dren. People lose their health in IA dark
house, and If they get ill they cannot get well
again in it, Three out of many negligencies
and lgnOranceS in managing the health of
houses generally | will here mention as spec
linens. First, that the female head in charge
OF any building does not think it necessary
to visit every hole and corner of it
every day. How can she expect that
those under her charge will be more
careful to maintain her house in healthy
condition than she who is in charge
Of it? Secondly, that it is not considered
essential to air, to sun and clean rooms while
unnhabited; which is simply ignoring the
first elementary notion of sanitary things, and
laying the grounds for all kinds of diseases
Third, that one window is considered enough
to air room. Don't imagine that if you
who are in charge and don't look to all these
things yourself, those under you will he more
careful than you are. 1t appears as if the
part OF the mistress to complain of her
servants and to accept their excuse-not to
show them how there need be neither COM
plants nor excuses made"

The Florida put into the port of Brest be-
cause, according to English law, she could
uot enter twice in the space of three months
into an English port, and it has not been
three months since she left the port of Ber-
muda. The engines of the Florida, which
are of English manufacture, were put in two
years ago at Mobile. They have not been re-
paired since, and are now much deranged. At
the time of the escape of the vessel from Mo-
bile bay she ran on a rock and damaged her
copper bottom, which also has been sadly de-
teriorating ever since. Alaffit was, therefore,
obliged to stop somewhere, but he found to
his great establishment, after arriving at Brest,
that the French workmen could not repair
properly his English engines, and that he
would have to wait till he could get English
workmen all the way from England. All this
has caused a delay which has put Mafft into
