 That it is no part of good husbandry aud very bad economy to bestow so little Ire upon this part of the farm may be easily sesn by any one who will give the slightest thought to the snhjAct. The larger mans farm the larger should be his garden; and let the fsrn, be of whatever size, the garden should be we'll cared for. The man who farms on small scale ought to see to it that he raises as much as possible from the garden, so that he may save the profits of his farm to apply to other uses and if possible add Something to his income by the sale of whatever he can spare The man who owns hundreds of acres and employs several men has need to make his garden tell in the economy of the kitchen.

-A A FUNNY Doc STeRY-When the war iD Italy commenced, the Zouaves embarked for Genoa but as they were going on board the ship. they saw formal order ferbiddiag the entrance of all dogs upon the weasel, AS they were very much attached to their dogs, they were stricken with grief. It was not easy tos deceive the sharp lookout kept by the inten- dent. for every soldier advanced along the nar- row gangway, one by one, as their names wore called. Necessity is the mother of invention.
 The dremmers .unscrewed their drums and the best dogs of the regiment were concealed in the drums which were screwed up again. When regiments embark no music is played, but on this occasion the Colonel determined to have music. He ordered the trumpets and drums to take the head of the column, and to play aliyely tune, The face. of the drummers--every one of whom had q dog in his drum--may be conceived! The trumpets sounded the drums were all silent. The Col
 onel got angry and bawlsd to know why the drums did not beat, There was but one thing to do and that was to beat. The moment the drums began to beat innumsrable dogs began to howla and to bay, to the astonishment of everybody but the Zouaves. Everybody look ed right. left forward, baekward-7no sign of a dog anywhere ; and yet, the more the drum mers beat. the mere the dogs howled At last spaniel fell put ofa drum rolled over and over on the ground, get up and took to his heels, bowling louder than ever. Roars of laughter greeted this explanation of the mysterious howls. The intendents ordered the drummers to advance on board, one by one, and to roll the drum as he came. If a bark ing waa heard, the drum was unscrewed,. and tho dog put ashore. only one cog got on
 board; this was Toutou, who kept quiet through
 a'l the rolling. It need not be said the Third

% Once upon time, at the command OF
JuPrrER, tile animals all assembled at the
foot Of Olympus to be assigned their sta
tions. The lordly lion, the tiger, the huge
elephant, the feet-fOoted horse, the useful
COW, the dull ass, and many others of lesser
note, were there in obedience to the impe-
rial mandate, each anxious to know what
duties he would be assigned to.
To the Lion JUPITER said: "Roam thou
lord of the forest; majestic in thy might,
make the world tremble with thy roar. Be
thou King of Beasts. And thou, Tiger,
shalt know no fear. Thou shalt slay men,
and dispute with the Lion for supremacy.
And thou, Horse, shalt be mans friend, his
servant. Thou shalt carry him with the
speed of the wind. Thou shalt aid him in
blowing the bosom Of the earth, that Ceres
may scatter the seed and give bountiful
harvest. Cow, thou shalt be called the Use
ful, and man shall love and care for thee"
(, And thus to each did the dread JUPITER
address himself until his eye rested on the
sleepy-looking, heavy-headed Ass. "For
what art thou ftp" at length he said.-
"ThOu hast not the speed or strength Of the
Horse, nor the utility Of the Cow. Thy
roar would not alright, but annoy, Go
hence. Find out Columbus, Ohio, and be-
come Editor of the Morning Journal OF that

A Man Goes Hunting and Shoots
Himself Dead.

One of the most distressing accidents
which we have been called upon to record
for long time occurred on Thursday last,
THANKSGIVING Day. Sometime during the
forenoon number of young men Of this
place went hunting. At the time Of the
shocking occurrence they were In Mrs.
Koogle's woods, about three miles from
Lebanon, on the Cincinnati turnpike,r In
order to be able to get good view Of The
ground, which was thickly covered with
weeds and under brush, William, Van Note,
one of the number, without his gun, walked
up the trunk of fallen tree (starting at
its top), the but of which was yet fast to
the stump about twelve feet from. the
ground. Upon reaching the top of the
stump, he called to a little boy who was
with him for his gun, a dOuble-harreled
shotgun. The boy reached the gun up, ,muz-
zle foremost, Van Note grasped 1t, and as
he was in the act of raising 1t, and when
the ,muzzle was not more than one foot
from his body, tile hammer caught it Is
supposed, among the many splinters on the
stump, and exploded the charge, sending
the load of one of the barrels entirely
through Van Notes body. The shot en-
tered the right side, carried away the third
rib, passed through the body in the, region
of the heart and lodged in the leftarm. Of
course death was instantaneous, the unfor4
tunate man merely exclaimiDg, "Ohl" .;t
Van Note was a young manju Just entering
the prime OF, life, and was very highly es-
teemed by alarge circle of friends. He was
married, we believe, sometime during the
past summer. With his widowed mother
and the young wife thus early and sudden
ly bereft of her husband, the public Will
deeply sympathize. And let us hope that
the remembrance of the frightful event will
serve as perpetual caution, warning all to
be more careful in the handling OF firearms,

E,rnuds Ipon rhe Government.

It is stated that the Congressional Inves-
tigating Committee has made discoveries of
stupendous frauds upon the Government
in which parties who occupied high posi-
tions in society during the war are impli-
Gated. This is the old story. We have no
doubt that if faithful exhibit could be
made to the public OF the way in which
the Government has been plundered during
the war by ps ties who professed the most
intensified patriotism, they would be per-
fectly astounded. Never before in the
worlds history was there the like of it, and
yet we are told that the party to which
these beauties belong must be retained in
