colored man, private Samuel Hodge,
Fourteenth West India Regiment.
A French journal says: a remark
able and perhaps almost unrivalled coin
cidence is recorded in the civil registry
of Barrur-Aube. In 1866 there were
inscribed there 106 births, 106 deaths,
and l06 marriages.
An Englishmsn has patented watch
without hands that SHOWS on its face no
figures but those which tell the hour
and minute looked for. The figures
are displayed as they are wanted, and
no others appear on the watch face.
A Paris correspondent of a Belgian
journals mentions that the Emperor
tainted the other day, on his return from
shooting excursion, and that heis sub
| ject to fainting fits after great exertion,
but that his general health is very sat
isfactory.
The latest Exhibition rumor is that
some adventurous members of English
swimming clubs have determined to
swim across the Channel (22 miles } on
their way to the Exhibition. They are
to be accompanied by umpires in boats
and are to be furnished with planks to
rest upon at stated intervals. This may
be well for variety, but most people
would prefer to go in the usual way.
A letter from Paris, of January. 22d,
says that a body of peasants, from the
depths of Siberia, have come to Paris
and put up wooden cabins ike those of
their own country, near the Palace of
the Exposition. "They suffer horribly
from the mildness of our climate. The
other day, when it was freezing hard
enough to split rocks, one of them cried
out with melancholy air, %, my God,
when will it get cool heren Another,
thinking it was midsummer, arrayed
himself in a calico gown. And third
thus wrote to his father: The heat is
excessive at Paris; would you believe it Z

The other day a wedding took place
at the Medelaine Church, between
very noble gentleman and lady, and
among the crowd that gathered outside
to see the splendid bridal party was a
miserable beggar about twelve years old.
Now in Paris every one who has not
something to sell is carried off to pO-
lice house, if they stop In the streets, as
this one did; and accordingly an officer
was Just asking her if she had anything
to dispose Of, and the poor thing was
trembling in every limb for fear of i'm
prisonment when sweet little girl, a
sister of the bride, happened to overhear
the policeman as she passed by, and to
save the ragged offender, she quickly
placed in her hand a superb bouquet
she was carrying, and, answering for
her, said, "Yes, she has these flowers,
but she asks too much for them, and I
cannot buy them" As she turned to
go on, an old gentleman, who saw and
understood it all, stepped forward, and,
putting a gold piece in the poor chilfs
palm, remarked, Il will give twenty
francs for it, and presented it to the
amiable little angel whose goodness had
been more fragrant and beautiful than
the choicest blossom that ever graced
! garden.

Some people are as careful of their
troubles as mothers are of their babes ::
they cuddle them, and rock them, and
hug them, aud cry over them, and fiy
into passion with you ifyou try to
take them away from them; they want
you to fret with them, and to help them
to believe that they have been worse
treated than anybody else. Their
trouble makes them selfsh-thsy think
more of their dear little grief in the
basket and in the cradle than they do
of all the world beside; and they con-
slider you hard hearted if you say ''don't
fret" "Ahl you don't understand me
you don't know me-you can't enter
into my trials. Blind AnaOs.

A little girl of three years, who had
disobeyed her parents, was ordered to
go and sit on the cellar stairs for pun
ishment. The little thing obeyed, and
after she had been seated there for some
time, her father opened the door and
asked her if she was not ashamed! The
little girl replied, "Yes." What are
you ashamed off" asked her her father.
She replied, 81 am ashamed of my pa.
The kind-hearted father appreciated the
answer, and released her from her i'm
prisonInent.

Rev. Theo. L. Cuyler declares him
self a firm believer in the moral and
spiritual influence of an open fire. To
make home attractive he says there
must be somewhere in the house COM

to present some more radiant attraction
than a black hole in the floor, through

A young lady in company with a
right reverend prelate, consented, after
long and coy resistance, to be led to
the piano. When she sang, it was so
badly, that, as she finished, no one was
found with sufficient heroism to express
to the fair executant the collective
thanks of the audience. In this strait
his lordship arose, and crossing the
room, said, with his sweetest smile
|" Thank you, Miss Smith, very particu-
Iarly. The next time, when yon say
you can't sing, we shall all know how
to believe you."

SELECTING PoULTRY MEAT "A young tur-
key has smooth leg and sof! bill, and il
fresh, the eyes will be bright and the feet
mott. Old turkeys have scaly feet.
Young fowls have a tender skin, smooth
legs and the breast bone yields readily TO the
pressure uf the finger. The best are those
with yellow legs The feet and legs Of old
fowls look AZ though they had seen hard ser-
vice in the world.
Young ducks feel tender under the wings
and the web of the foot is transparent. The
best are thick and hard on the breast.
Young geese have yellow biII., and the feet
are yellow and supple. The skin may be
easily broken by the head of q pin; the
breast is plump and the fat white. An old
goose is unfit for the human stomach.
Fowls are most easily picked if scajed, ,bn'
this renders the skin liable To be torn, and
consequently they will not look so nice.

FATEN1NG FOWLS.

All Summer long the farmer and bis family
have fused with the poultry; the young
chickens and turkeys need care in the long
rain storms, and protection against nocturnal
Gepredstors. Just as they are fully grown
and out of danger, the shrewd hucksier makes
bis appearance, buys, fattens, and prepares
them for market, and pockets The profits for
bis smartness.
Obviously, the farmer had better fatten his
fowls and send them to market himself. He
can do it with less trouble, perhaps, than he
imagines. Feed literally at all times, so as
to keep them growing thrifty, but about
twenty days before being slaughtered, feed
them in this way; Make coop for one doz-
fowls more should not be put together. The
coop should be three feet long, two feet wide
and two and half high make the sides OF
bars, and about three inches part the bottom
OF round poles two inches apart, the top Of a
board Place this in comfortable room, el-
evated twU feet from the floor, in the barn or
poultry house. where the cold wind will be
kept away, aud where the light will be dim
Attach feed troughs all around the ou'sIde.-
Commence feeding very light, glvng little
water the first day then feed regular three
or four times per day with the strongest food
as oat meal mixed with milk. boiled barley
or corn. Observe the utmost cleanliness, ,and
give supply Of fresh water. In twenty
days the poultry should be killed, and for
such the farmer would find plenty greedy
buyers willing to pay the highest price,-Ru.

PLACE FOR THE PIG>sTY.-D Desirable a. IL
is to hove pen within cay reach from tht
kitchen, It is yet barbarous custom to have
it 90 near that its noses and offensive slseI,
will penetrate the house. Wherever 1t is,
there should be good walk provided, Tor
convenience in carrying slops to 1t. Nor
should it be too close TO the morse stable -
There is foolish noti IN abroad that horse
stall next to pen is hurful to the pigs, c.
pecAIly - the breeding sows. The only
conceivable harm would be t. the horse and
his master, arising from the foul smell Of the
hogs.
Common sense says, let the pig sty be ar
ranged on One side { the barn yard, so as Ia
allow the pig manure to be mixed with that
of the horse and COW, as they severally accu-
mulate. One apartment of the pen should
open in to the yard, so as to allow the hogs
to run out and work over the horse manure.
and to feed on such grain as they may find
amonglt The pigIen should, of course, ,bavr
it's sleeping room well provided with straw,
and the whole establishment should be kepr
clean.

Tun FINsr PREsnrTERiAS CHuRcH.--The ma
jority oi the members of the First Presbyterian
Church, u majority which constitutes ne church,
have resolved that rather thnn he II party to the
proceedings threatened BY The minority (Which
ARE very Justly considered discreditable to chris

tho possession OF the church properly are adjudi-
Gated upon and a DECISION given by higher
body thun The New Castle Prssigtery, and In the
meantime to hold their services IN some other
building. Perhaps in the Institute.
We are informed that some forty or fifty Of the
members Of the church so us not to be compelled
to help support q factions minority In one BUILD
ing and at the same time make provisoflfor
worshipng elsewhere, have given up their lcws
in this church for a time.
The majority do not by this action relinquish
their claim to the name of the First Presbyterian
church nor to the property Of said church, they
simply leave 1t temporarily and meet elsewhere,
the same AS they should do If the church build

were from that cause prevented from occupying

The church organization Of the majority is in
every respect thorough they have their Elder,

First Presbyterian Church, Until they can resume

their church property. We have been particular
TO gain full Information on this subject ii Is a
matter in which the public generally takes

church and intend forming n new one. Such II
will be seen is not the case but the majority
merely propose to quietly await the result OF
their appeal instead Of opposing force with force
as they would have to do If they attempted tore
tain possession of the church building, Ms they
believe they have right to do.
Amongst tho other actions of the Presbytcry,
was the passage of resolution declaring MI
James Watson an elder Of the church, against the
protest Of a majority of the members. In regard
to this action the following extract from the
minutes has been handed us:
