A LITTLE ANECDOTE FOR BOYS.
Leaning idly over fence few days since,
we noticed a little four year-old "lord of Gre
alton" amusing himself in the grass by watch
ing the frolicsome fight Of birds which were
playing around him At length a beautiful
Bobolink pefched himself upon a dropping
bough Of an spple-tree, which extended to
within few yards of the place where the lit
tie urchin sat, and maintained his position,
apparently Unconscious Of the close proximity
to one whom birds usually consider a danger
Gus neighbor. The boy seemed astonshed
at his impudence and after regarding him
steadily for minute OF two, obeying the in
stnct Of his baser part, he picked up stone
lying at his feet, and was preparing to throw
it, steadying himself carefully for good aim.
The little arm was reached backward without
alarming the bird, and Bob was within an ace

little arm subsidized to its natural position, and
the desplsed stone dropped. The minstrel
charmed the murderer We heard the song
ster through, and watched the unframed
flight, as did the boy, with a sorrowful coun-
tenance. Anxious to hear an expression Of
the little fellows feelings, we approached him,
and inquired, "wby didn't you stone him,
my boyi You might have killed him and
carried him home" The poor little fellow
looked up doubtingly, as though he suspected
our meaning, and with an expression, half
shame and halfsorrow, he replied, " Gould mt

tion whispered to the child's heart. The
bird was saved, and God was glorifed by the
deed.

ONIONS FOR PoULTRY.-scacely TOO much
can be said in praise Of onions for FOWLS
They seem to be preventive and remedy for
various diseases to which domestic fowls are
Liable. Having frequently tested their ex-
cellencies, we can speak understandingly.-
For gapes and inflammation of the throat, eyes
and head, onions arc alnaost specific. We
would, therefore, recommend giving fowls,
and especially the young chicks, as many as
they will eat, as often as twice or three times
a week They should be finely chopped -

A valuable addition to the farmer stock
of tools is Wool Press, invented by Mr..
Crane, Of Glover. 1t has numerous advan-
tages, but the principal ones are these First,
instead of the fleece being rolled, It is pressed,
so that the fbres remain uninjured Sec
ond, the fleece is brought into the form Of a
snug little bale with the best part outward.
Wool put up with this press is therefore more
convenient for transportation and more
valuable to the manufacturer, which are pref
ty good reasons for its bringing higher price
The press meets a ready sale and will soon,
probably, be in general use among wool-grow-
Erprtss.
Coon INVENTION all the i'm
provements in modern mechanism, the art Of
horseshoeing has met with little advancement.
The old fashioned way Of mailing the shoe to
the hoof, with all it's attendant evils, remains
in vogue.
We have just been shown horseshoe
invented by Thomas SHELTON, Of Rockford,
ILL.,, which will be very likely to work com
peto revolution in the practice Of horseshoe
ing. This consists of hinged plate, with
four or five little hanges or projections extern
ding up on the outside Of the horses hoof,
clasping it like so many little fingers, making
neat and perfectly effective attachment TO
the hoof On the bottom of this hinged plate,
the sole Of the shoe, so to speak, or tie part
that comes in contack with the ground, is
fastened by strong set screws, whereby the
Hanged plate is held firmly to the foot, the
whole making handsome, easy and durable
shoe, which can be easily put on and taken
of,and, instead Of endangering the hoof after
the manner Of the old fashioned nailed shoe,
is an absolute preserver Of the hoof, adapted
to those that are split, tender or thin, as well
as to all others.
" The shoe is made Of mallesble iron, and
can be manufactured at cost Of fifteen cents
per pound, aud being so economical, safe and
labor saving, we do MT see what will prevent

BEWARE or SwiNDLERs country is
being flooded with circslars of bogus claim
agents located at Washington, promising to
obtain an additional bounty Of $500 to all
men enlisted in 1861 and go. A writer in
the Vermont Phenix was appriSed of tile and
similar schemes three months ago. The mn.
dus operandi is this. Those who have sufi-
Gent gullibility TO send their discharges, &c,
to these men will in due tilue receive a circu-
lar stating that their claim is allowed, and
the soldier may have his extra bounty by re-
uniting the stipulated fee, S25. This will
be the last Of the game. All soldiers will
bear in mind that the government have al
ready paid all the bounty authorized by law
Additional legislation will be required before
an increase OF eounty can be paid. This
pleasing fact will be known and announced
by the newspaper press, who are always
prompt in all matters pertaining to the well
fare Of the soldier.

PROCEED WITH THY ELEPHANT

PROCEED WITH THY ELEPHANT"
In Columbiana county resides an old fellow
renowned for his beligerent disposition, who
is generally known as Friend Slavery Born
and bred Quaker, he was long since read
out Of the meeting on account of his quarrel
some propensites, but he still pertinaciously
clings to the plain clothes and plain language
Of his early days, possibly as a protection
against the wrath he is so continually provok-
ing, by his oyerbearing and irritable demeau-
or. He has always the crossest dog in the
neighborhood, the Most troublesome, breechy
steers, &c, and is continually in hot water
with some of his neighbors in consequence of
the depredations committed by his unruly
live stock. few weeks since, Van Amburg's
Mensgerie. travelling thro' Columbiana, was
obliged to pass his residence.
A little before daylight, Nash, the keeper
of the elephant Tippoo Saib, as he was pass
ing over the road with his elephant, discov-
cred this pseudo. Quaker seated upon fence
by the roadside, watching bull which he
had turned out upon the road, and which was
paving, believing and throwing up tremen-
duous dust generally. In fact, from the fury
OF the animals demonstrations, one would
take him for one of the identical breed that
butted the locomotive off the bridge.
take that bull out of the way" shouted
Nash, as lie approached
Proceed with thy elephant" was the re-
ply.
IF you don't take that bull away, he will
get hurt" continued Nash. approaching, while
the bull redoubled his beligerent demonstra-
tons.
Don't trouble thyself about the bull, but
proceed with thy elephant" retorted Friend
Slavery, rubbing his hands with delight at
the prospect of an approaching scrimmsge,
the old fellow having great confidence in the
inyincibility of his bull, which was really the
terror of the whole country around
Tippoo Sab came along with his uncouth,
shambling gait the bull lowered his head,
and made charge directly upon the elephant.
Old Tippoo, without even pausing in his
march, gave his cow-catcher a sweep, catch
ing the bull on the side, crushing in his ribs
with his enormous tusks, and then raised him
about thirty feet in the air, the bull striking
upon his head as he came down, breaking his
neck and killing him instantly.
I'm afraid your bull has bent bis neck a
little" shouted Nash, as be passed on.
Bent the deuce !" cried old Slavery, with
troubled look at his defunct bull "thy ell
ephant is to hefty for my beasto, but thee will
not make so much out of the operation as
thee supposes; was going to take my family
to thy show, bet I'll see thee and thy show
blowed to blazes before | go one step"
