Browsing Sheep.

Nelson Young, South Addison, Steuben
county, New York. writes to US that several
years ago he experimental in browsing sheep
in tbs winter. and that he ''found IL they
could have plenty Of hemlock they would
cat no other that he could give them" Since
then. whenever his sheep are kept from the
ground week at time by snow, he has ut
tempted to provide them with hemlock.
He says, s.it would have done you good to
COO nv sheep meet me last winter when
drew the FIRST hemlock top into the yard.
Though they had plenty Of first rate hay and
poorly threshed straw. they dcvoured the
hemlock with avidity." Mr.. Young thinks
it keeps his sheep healthy, and that ii they
have plenty Of "iresh cut and thrifty hem
lock-" they will not eat more than two-thirds
as much hay. He says his lambs come late,
and that he "does not know how it will DO
for the ewss that suckle lambs"
Sheep confined to dry feed soon learn to
eat hemlock rs above described, and they
undoubtedly obtain degree Of sustenance
from it-but whether as much as third. a:
our correspondent supposes, We are hardly
prepared to say. We have known sheer
killed by eating hemlock when It was given
TO them in large quantities after long con
finement to dry feed-but this never need
happen, because Il can be given more fire.

IL the present winter proves severe one,
there will bc great need Of eking out the feed
oil our domestic animals in every possible
way.-Rural Nno Yorker.

Ansodote of H. W. Beooher.

At public meeting in New York, fsv
years since, somebody called for "Beecher.'
who was in one of the galleries, and ho went
down to the platform, where he was far from
welcome. OF course he had pungent be'
ginning and then came storm OF hisses
In vain did he try to 60 on. Every time ht
opened his mouth he was greeted with The
same overwhelming opposition. Watching
his opportunity, he let the indignant throng
get fairly out Of breath, and contriyed to say
in his drollest fashion u
"You remind me very much Of my grand
father" ............-............ -.
What his grandfather had to do with thai
meeting awakened general curiosity and &C
he was allowed TO go on.
"My grandfather was q blacksmith ant

Then he put It back In the fire, and heated
it again, saying, Perhaps 1t will do Tor O

mered it, and agaid he failed"
All this time the audience listened, with
out seeing the faintest glimmer Of point
hut one was coming After going through
the motions of making hammer, but iu
vain. Mr.. Beecher said
"At last the old man took the hot steel in

The PAPER DurY.-The effect Of the pa
per duty on the Treasury Is indicated by one
fact. The Superintendent Of the public
printing asks Congress for $500 900 to make
up the deficiency in the appropriation for
the purchase of paper, caured by the rise
since the appropriation was made. This riss
Is caused by the duty, which entirely prevents
importations Of paper and thus enables the
combinations of paper dealers and speculs.
tors to put their own price upon It. The
duty does not yield cent Of revenue. while
It causes IN expense Of half q million Of
dollars 10 one year, by the increase it makes
in the price Of paper. Yet tho "loysl sup.
pusters of the Government" in Congress re-
luse to repeal the duty and thus save the
half million to Government and many mil.
lions to the people! And why? Simply
because they see the subject through golden
spect,cles, kindly furnished by the rich ras-
calls who control the paper interest. The
people can hope for no relief in this matter
until they send honest men " Congrees-men
whose votes are not set up at auction and

As Mr.. Jacob Grove. Of Georges Crock,
Fayette County. Pennsylvanis. was engaged
on Monday last In boring for oil on his farm,
the auger struck upon deposit which he
gan at once to rush upward with irresistible
force, lowing over the ground and saturat.

loud noise and filling the atmosphere. II

sion ensued, fortunately injuring no one.
The flames darted into the air sixty feet high,
threatening general destruction. Il soon
gave in. however. and the men succeeded In
extinguisNng Il before any serious damage
was done. For some time the most lively
alarm prevailed, and II 10 safe TO predict that
the engineers boring on Georges Greek iol
