SWIMMING BEEs ON MULLEN Cons.
Prof. Turner, Of Illinois, advises bee-keep'
ere to have at hand several dry stalks Of null
len with the long oobs or seed tops entire,
and when the bees are swarming, have ready
three or four of the stalks tied together on the
top Of a long pole, and when the swarm is all
out, before they begin to light elsewhere, run
thi. decoy up among them as they fly and they
will all pitch toward it and light on it at once
thinking that it really is a cluster Of bees and
a part Of their swarm.
II you will pop it up among a swarm dc.
tefmined to 60 off on their fight overhead it
will in like manner deceive them, and they
can, in either case, be swarmed with all ease.
his pole or decoy should be usually kept
out of sight at all times except when in use,
lest it should lose its effect from becoming too
well known. Pieces Of the same, however,
laid round in branches Of trees, where it would
be convenient for them to Ugh, there rather
than on any other part OF the same tree, or on
one very near to it, will be useful.

MEDICINAL QUALITIES OF THE PUMPKIN

MEDICINAL QUALITIES OF THE PUMPKIN
At a recent discussion in the New
York Farmers Club, correspondent wrtse
of the virtues of the pumpkins
| will give you simple, Yet very valuab lie
cure for infsmmatory rheumatism. A woman
arm was swelled to su enormous size, and
painfully inAamed. A poulticle was made OF
stewed pumpkin, which was renewed ey cry
fifteen minutes, and in short time produced
a perfect cure. The fever drawn out by the
poultices made them extremely offensive, as
they were taken off. know man cured Of
severe Inflammation Of the bowels by the same
application. think such subjects as this pro
per for discuss on in Farmers Club.
DR.. Snodgrass.--I have no doubt pumpkins
make good pouluce. Whatever holds wa
ter and warmth best is the most suitable,
DR.. Smith-In my travels in Syria found
pumpkin seeds almost universally eaten By
the ps1ple on account Of their supposed med
ic.l qualities. Not because they are diuret.
&c, but as an antidote against animalculae
which infest the bowels. They are sold in
the Streets as apples and nuts are here. 1t is
medical fact that persons have been cured

A CRANBERRY JoKE.-In the fall of 1866,
one OF our Ocean county cranberry growers
packed several casks Of choice crsnberries and
shipped to some Of his English friends in Liver
pool. In due time they were received, and
their receipt ackno wledged, saying, "That the
cranberaies had been received and rendered
their profound thanks but that they had spoil
ed in transit, as they were so sour that they
could not be eaten" An explanation was
forwarded with directions, and our English
cousins across the water acknowledge cram
berry sauce the most delightful ever slowed
beneath their jsckets.-Nel0 Jersey Courier.

BURIAL OF BooTH's BonY.-Gen.
Baker, in his "history of the secret
service" gives the following account
of the disposition of Booths body:
With the assistance of Lieut.. IL. b.
Baker, | took the body from the gun
boat direct to the old Penitentiary,
adjoining the Arsenal grounds. The
building had not been used as q pri-
son for some years previous. The
ordnance Department had filled the
ground floor cells with fixed amunit-
ion-one Of the largest of these cells
was selected as the burial place o.
Booth-the ammunition was remov.
ed, large fat stone lifted from its
place, and rude grave dug; the body
was dropped in; the grave filed up,
the stone replaced, and there rests to
this hour all that remained Of John
Wilkes Booth.

Colonel Utley on Women Suffrage.

Colonel Utley, of the Racine Jour-
nal is decidedly opposed to woman
suffrage. He draws the following
sombre picture of the consequences
likely to follow it:
We are opposed to woman suffrage
for the reasod that it will drag her
down from her God given position,
that of ministering angel and the
custodian of every holy principle that
makes the world better, and trans.
form them into brawling termegrants.
This is the rational view we take of
the matter. There is also q redicu-
lous view of the same subject we would
bring out if we were Gifted in that
direction. The idea of having
warm hearted affectionate wife trans
formed into cold blooded, heartless
politician is altogether too monstrous
for us. lfWomen can vote, they can
hold office, sit upon juries, &c. Just
think of it, every time you step ont
of your house there would be some
oily heoded politician log-rolling your
wife to vote against you; or, when
your door>bell rang, to 60 to the door
and find cadaverous looking crea>
ture there who wishes to see Mrs.
in private; he has been recon-
mended TO her as a woman of great
influence in certain quarters. He
probably wants an appointment I'M
der Johnson. You invite him into
the parlor, and send Mrs.-in to see
him, and there he log>rolls her for an
hour, and you all the while waiting
for your dinner; or, suppose you
come home to to your meal and find
nothing ready, the house the other
side up, young ones all loose, you ask
one [of the little ones where their
mother is, and they will tell you she
is out a0orklng ont her poll tar, won't
that be nice
Then imagine your wife seated
in large wagon with a promiscous
crowd decorated with placards, and
engaged III bringing voters to the
polls to vote the Johnson and Doolit-
tie ticket. Whew! the thought of it
will drive man mad. We have no
patience with the legislature for
dragging in unasked, this silly issue;
we can forgive the postage stamp ar
rangement, but the dragging of this
female suffrage question into the Re-
publican party we shall hold in con
tempt. Leave the women alone in
their own proper sphere, where,
through the blessed homo influence
she can mould the mind of the nation
in everything that is gentle and re
fined. Woman in that sphere is the
only safeguard to pure and indebted
religion. We wish the women could
vote on this amendment themselves.
They would vote it down so low that
all the hobby hunters in creation
could not resurrect it.
