The Snow Bird.

AS each returning winter comes to us
clad in its garments Of white, as oft and as
faithful are the visits of the little snow
bird, those feathered companions of winter s
chill and dreary day. During the last few
days, while the ground has been covered
with snow, many of these little birds could
be seen fritting about as if regardless of
the fact that Jack Frost, like the grasp of
a miser, has laid his cold hands upon the
earth. The snow bird is remarked among
ornlthologists for the obseurity which hangs
around its history. On the first approach
of winter it suddenly makes its appearance,
apparently driven by the inclemency of
the weather to court the society of man
Whence it comes no one can tell and
whittier it goes (for its exit is as sudden
as its entrance no one has been able to
discover. 1t is supposed by some to be in
reality another bird, only that its plumage,
by some mysterious and irresistible power,
has been suddenly changed. There is
feeling of melancholy passing over the
mind when the bleak and dreary landscape,
deserted By all other tenants of the air, is
only enlivened by the presence of the
mourntul snow bird. Yet in the bitterest
weather he is always gay and lively, and
the g!oominess of the scenery around him
seems to have no Saddening effect upon his
cheerful heart

EarLy 1oosatoes-Every farmer can
have the luxury of early tomatoes without
the trouble of hot bed, or sending to the
city for early plants. About the first week
in March gil box, holding six or eight
quarts, with the richest mould you can get,
and SOW your seed. Set it near south
window, if possible, in a warm room. Give
1t plenty of water, and in ten days the
plants will begin to appear When the
plants are two inches high, or have four
leaves, make boxes, four inches wide by
five deep, of shingles, on any thin stuff,
tackled together with carpet tacks; fill them
with rich mould, and put one plant in each
box; set them in the window turn and
water them every day. When you wish to
transplant to the garden. take the boxes
carefully apart, and the dirt remains undis-
turbed. Set deep and water freely.

Bounty DEoIs1OE.-The following decis-
ion of the Psymaster General, with refer
ence to the payment of the 800, $500 and
$500 bounties, has been received and pro-
mulgsted by Mr.. Lewis, the State Military
Agent. From it it will be seen that it is
made the duty of Psymasters to pay the
first instalment, (when it has not been
paid by a mastering Ofieerl upon the first
muster for pay roll made out after enlist
ment, to recruits as we'll as to enlisted men.
When soldier is discharged, who enlisted
under the act granting the above bounties,
and the whole or any part of the bounty is
due him, he can be paid upon his discharge
paPsrs; providing they show he has not
received it.
The Paymster General further holds
that the above are not advance bountiss,
and that the law of 1868 in relation to the
refunding of the $25 advance bounty in
certain cases, is not applicable to them.
But when it is clearly shown that soldier
enlisted, wilfully cOncealing disability,
which he knew to exist at the timo Of en-
listment, and upon which he is subsequent
ly discharged, then, all instalments of
bounty paid are to be deducted.
