A GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR PAINT.

For the benefit of our readers, both in
town and country, We publish the follow
ing recipe for making a wash for build
iues, which is said to look almost as well
as paint. We quote from the Chemical
Gazette:
Take clear water-barrel, or other
suitable cask, and put into it half bush
el of lime Slack it by pouring water
over it, boiling bot, and in sufficient guam
tity to cover it five inches deep and stir it
briskly till thoroughly Stacked. When
Stacking has been affected, dissolve in
water and add two pounds of sulphate of
zinc and one of common salt. These
will cause the wash to harden, and pre-
vent its cracking, which gives an unseem-
iugly appearance to the work. If de-
sirabe, beautiful cream color may be
communicated to the above wash, by add
ing three pounds of yellow ochre, or a
good pearl or lead color by the addition
of lamp, vine or ivory black. For. fawn
color, add four pounds o. umber-Turkish
or American-th latter is the cheaper,
one pound of Indian red and one pound
common lampblack. For common stone
color, add four pounds of raw lumber and
two pounds lanpblack. This wash may
be applied with a common whitewash
brush, and will be found much superior,
both in appearance and durability, to
common white wash

DIsooURAGED-The New York Her
aid, Democratic paper, is saddened and
disheartened with the result of the New
Hampshire election. It is satisfied now
that the Democratic party can never again
be suceessful-that is is effectually "done
for" and that the sooner it disbands and
gets up another organization the better.
I'm fact" says the Herald, 'from its OBJ
noxious peace affiliations and peace move
ments during the war, the Democratic
party has lost the confidence of the people
who carried through the war. The parry
must take a new shape and new name
before it can expect to accomplish any
important revolution. The party record
of the war has killed it as dead as the
Bourbons"

! STRANGE SPECIMEN OF HUMANITY.

Twelve years ago, family, named
Sawyer, living in the town Of Westbrool,
were surprised to find that very superior
new milch COW, carefully kept in their
stable, was drying up" This continued
until some time after, Mrs. Sawyer discov-
cred the prints of human fngers ip the
soap grease barrel in the stable. Commu-
nicating this discovery to her husband, be
procured help from one of the neighbors,
and thorough search of the stable fol-
lowed. An examination of the hay-mow
disclosed a small hcle, which, being fol-
lowed up by pitching away the hay, led
to sort of den ike place in the inte-
rior Of the NOW. Here was found
strange heins-a man apparently about
twenty four years old. half clothed in rags,
shockingly filthy, and having no feet
One foot was missing just above the ankle
the other was gone little higher up, the
stump Terminating in an oblong way, and
in manner showing that it was not the
work Of surgeon, nor had it received
the attention of surgeon when lost
His face and head were Of average intel
Iigence, hut not word could be got from
him. He lived there a number of weeks,
subsisting on the milk Of the COW aud the
Il
authorities and placed in the Poor House,
where he now is and has been for the past
twelve years.
Ali attempts to solve the mystery con-
corning this strange being have proved
futile. No one has been found yet who
ever saw or heard Of him, and during the
whole twelve years he has never uttered a
word. Various expedient5 have been tried
to loose his tongue. On one occasion he
was given bottle containing pint of
whisky. He seemed to understand ex-
actly what it was, for he placed it to his
lips and drank the whole at draught,
but it had no perceptible effect upon him.
In manner, habits, &C., he is like wild
beast In the summer he is kept in a
sort Of wooden cage-iike structure in
the yard. He is very shy Of strangers,
and will hide his head in his blankets
when they approach. His quarters are
comfortable, and it is impossible to give
him better for sanitary reasons.
Where the creature came from is ccr-
taiuly mysterious matter. He could
not have walked from distance, as he
crawls upon his knees very slowly. The
only theory attempted is this: A few
weeks before the man was discovered the
steamer Sarah Sands arrived at this port
from Liverpool, With large number of
immigrants. 1t is conjeetured that this
being might have been burden to some
one over the waters. Mr.. Sawyer (since
deceased) hauled load home from the
steamers wharf at that time, and it is
reasoned that the man might have been
clandcstinely added to his load, and from
thence have crept into his stable.-Iort-
land Ne Aigus.

of the Sixth Iowa infautry. In the march
Of Sherman's army to the sea, Mr.. Had

A RESPONSE TO THE BLUE JUNIATA." !"

Written in the summer of 1865, ,skile trduelin
along that peerless Hnts riUer."
The Indian girl has ceased TO rove
Along the winding river;
The warrior Brave that won her love,
Is gone with bow and quiver.
The valley rears another race,
Where flows the Juniata;
There maidens rove. with paler face
Than that of Al.arata
Where pine trees moan her requiem wall
And blue waves too are kneeling,
Through mountain gorge and fertile vale
\ louder note is swelling.
4 hundred years have rolled around,
The Red man has departed,
The hills give back wilder sound
Than warriors Whoop ere started.
With piercing neigh, the iron steed
Now sweeps along the waters, Tspecd,
And bears, with more than wild deer
The white mans sons and daughters.
Tbs products, too of every cline
Are borne along the river,
Where roved the Brave, in olden time,
With naught but bow and 9uiver.
And swifter than the arrows flight,
From trusty bow and quiver,
The messages of love and light
Now speed along the river.
The engine and the telegraph
Have wrought some wondrous changes,
Since rang the Indian maiden's laugh
Among the mountain ranges.
'Tis grand to see what art hath done,
The world is surely wiser; won
What triumphs white mans skill hath
With steam, the civilizer.
But still, metb;nks. I'd rather hear
The song of Alfarata-
Had rather chase the fallow deer
Along the yunia.a
For fondly now my heart esteems
This Indian song and story
Yea, grander far old nature seems,
Than art in all its glory.
Roll on, thou classic keystone Stream,
Thou peerless little river,
Fulfil the poets brightest dream,
And be joy forever.
As generations come and 60,
Zach one their part repeating,
Thy waters keep their constant flow,
Still down to ocean feeting.
And while thy blue waves seek the sea,
Thou lovely Juniata,
Surprising sweet thy name sha Il be,
For sake of Alfarata

A POINT TO BE SETTLED

The following case has been submitted 70 the
Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau for
his opinion thereon: John Dorsey, colored.
bought his daughter, Sarah Ann, from her
master, Henry Saunders, of Leesburg, Va, in
the year 1860. for whom he agreed TO pay the
sum of $3.50. Mr. Amos Hughes went his Sc
curity for the payment of the money. Mr.
Dorsey has paid $3.50 Of the purchase money
and the remaining $500 are in the hands of his
security Saunders demands the balance, but
Dorsey does not wish TO pay it, thinking 1t un-
fair that he should now be obliged to pay for
the freedom Of his daughter. The Commits.
sioner replied that, in his opinion, the 500
balance referred to should not be paid by MIR.
Dorsey, but that the case seemed 10 ipvoIve
