GAINING STRENGTH.-We believe we have
got hold Of an original anecdote that we never
printed before. A student in one of our state
colleges was charged by the Faculty with hav-
ing barrel of ale deposited in his room, con-
trary of course, to rule and usage He received
summons to appear before the President who
said
"Sir, am informed that you have barrel

"What explanation can you makeP"
"Why, the fact is, sir, my physician advised
me to try a little ale each day as tonic, and
not wishing 10 stop at the various places where
this beverage is retailed, concluded TO have a
barrel taken to my room"
"Indeed And have you derived any bene-
fit from il P"
"Ah yes, sir. When the barrel was first
taken to my room, two weeks since, / could
scarcely lifI it. NoW / can carry ii Wih The

Permit me to say that | am surprised that
so little attention is paid to saving labor in the
planning of most of the barns of the country
1t is subject have paid much attention to-
and have planned many. But no two men
agree as to what they want in, or of barn, and
therefore in planning barn man must de-
termne what lie wants and then the plan can
be made to suit. Three-fouths Of all the barns
can be made 10 suit the purse of the owner, and
he makes shelter 20 suit the dollars he can
spare without much regard to plan.
Now contend that all our houses barns,
ont-buildings, house yards garden, stable lots,
and fields, should be planned first, and if your
head will not convey the plan, put it down on
paper, and then work up TO it as your purse
will permit, and when you are done you will lie
satisfied, and much money, time, and labor will
have been saved.
The house and barn site should be tie first
thing to settle or select, in opening a new farm,
and every ohY part of your plan made to suit
Then you should settle how large barn your
purse will stand, Tor how large you intend TO
work up to- which should aim TO suit, first, the
size OF your farm second, the kind of kinds of
stock you intend to handle, or the kind or farm.
ing you intend to carry on. This every ma n
must settle for himself. Then the first use of a
barn is shelter, and the first idea should be TO
suit your plan to your particular kind of farm.

General kIMBALL, in letter declining the
nomination of the Republicans for the Office OF
Lieutenant Governor. gives as reason for so
doing, that he "can render his country better
service in the field as soldier, than at home in
any position OF honor and ease" This reflects
somewhat upon the stay-at home patriots, who
while clamorIng for vigorous prosecution Of
the war, are exceedingly solcitous for positions
