man told us this morning. that he experienced

ton: Whose care is it to SEQ that this road
be rendered somewhat more safe and pleasant
for travellers and especially pedestrians We
don't know who but simply call the atten-
ton "ds que de droit" to this matter and urge
that 1t be Immediately attended to.

THROWING SroSEs.---A gentleman while
passing yesterday on Town Point was struck
by stone thrown by some idle negro boys,
who were amusing themselves chuncing at
each other. 1t was very fortunate that the
stone struck him on the shoulder, for had it
been in the temple it might have proved
very serious. Now boys, whether white or
black, we advise you to desist from this habit
of throwing stones, and adopt some more gen
teel mode of amusement, or we will feel com
PEELED to call the attention of the Police to it.

NATIVE PRoDucTIoNs.-We had yesterday
the pleasure Of tasting wine, called by its
producer, American Sherry" made from a
species of rheum called "Wyatt's Wine
Plant" This wine is very similar to fine
Catawba, of delicate favor, and is really
delicious lady's wine. The plant produces
the first year, and is said to yield from 1000
to 1000 gallons to the acre.
An agency for the sale of the plants will
be established here next fall, and we advise
ali enterprising farmers to be on the look out
to secure some, as the supply is, as yet, lin
tied.

AN EPISODE OF THE GERMAN WAR.
The London Morning Herald's mil
itary correspondent gives the follow
ing story:
"a Farmer, living in a hamlet near
Possnitz, had a wife and two children
and such was the woman's terror Of
the Prussians, when she heard they
were coming, that her husband, to sat
isfy her, placed her in an underground
cellar, with her two little ones, and
built up the doorway, leaving some
food inside. The PruSsians entered
the place, and among others, obliged
this poor man to accompany them,
with his horse and cart, for a day
journey, as they said. But the man
was brought off from place to place,
and at last, when he was suffered to
return and reached his own house,
several days had elapsed. On his
way back he began to calculate how
little food had been left with the wife
and children; and horror-stricken at
the dreadful thought that their cries
might not be heard, his hair is said
to have turned white on his homeward
journey. His fears were but too real
He tore down the masonry, and
searched for those so dear to him, but
only found three ifeless bodies, half
devoured by rats. Reason left him
at the dreadful sight, and he is now
in hospital, a lunatic.

Rules for Home Education.

The following are worthy Of being
printed in letters of gold, aud being
placed in a conspicuous position in
every household:
l. From your children's earliest
infancy inculcate the necessity Of in
slant obedience.
2. Unite tirmness with gentleness.
Let your children understand that you
always mean exactly what you say.
3. Never promise them anything
unless you are sure you can give them
what you promise.
4. If you tell a child to DO any
thing, show him how to do it, and see
that it is done.
5. Always punish your children
for wilfuIly disobeying you, but never
punish in anger.
6. Never let them see that they
can vex you or make you lose your
selfcommend.

petulance, wait till they are calm, and
then reason with them, on the impro-
priety Of their conduct.
8. Remember that a little present
punishment, when occasion arises, is
much more etfectual than the threat
ening of greater punishment SHOULD
the fault be renewed.
| 9. Never give your children any
thing because they cry for it.
| 10. On no account allow them t.
do at one time what you have forbid
den under the same circumstances, a
another.
: II. Teach them that the only cas-,
| way to appear good is to be good.
= II. Accustom them to make thei
. little recitals the strictest truth.
13. Never allow of bearing.
IA. Teach them that self-denial
t not selfindulgence is the appointe'
and sure method of insuring happ
ness.
