Getting Wet.

When a person is wet he ought nev.
er to stand, but to continne in motion
till he arrives at place whore he may
be suitably accommodated. Here he
should stip off his wet clothes, 10 bo
changed for such as are dry, and have
those parts of his body which have
been Retted well rubbed with q dry
cloth The legs, shoulders, and arms
ars generally the parts most exposed
to wet; they should, therefore, be
particularly attended TO. It'll almost
incredible how many diseases may be
prevented By adopting this course
Catarrhs, inffammations, ,rheumatisms,
diarheas, fevers, and consumption
are tho foremost among the train
which frequently follow IN accident

Winter Feeding OF sheep.

Most kinds of farm stock can be-
confined all winter 10 one kind of food
and,not suffer materially from It. but
such is not the case with tho sheep,
During the summer sheep viii tire Of
the best clover pasture and leave it
for the better, and if during the win
ter they are kept exclusively ON good
clover or timothy hay, they will soon
gladly leave it for the coarsest wheat
or rye straw and eat the latter with
an evident relish. au
These facts should show us, that Of
all our domestic animals, the eheepof
all others, requires q constant varia-
tion in the kind and quantity of its
food. There are few farmers 90
situated that they cannot give. their
sheep the requisite change Of fobd,
and none should keep thea if
they cannot give them this necessary
change.
Many of our practical men differ o.
to the amount of food required by
sheep. Asfar as my experience goes
am satisfied that one pound of good
clover hay, half pound Of corn and
two pounds Of oat straw per day will
keep sheep in good breeding or
stock order during the winter With
flock Gverageing one hundred
pounds, l have found that during
warm days in mid winter they would
! not eonsume the above amount, hat
in very cold weather they would con.
sumo little more. often vary the
feed, but give the above as the dai.
" feed, and sometimes feed two
pcaaAaa Of hay, instead of one pound,
and ahalf pouad Of timothy hay

Drainage.

The draining away Of superabund-
ant waters'has always been chief diff.
fculty in agriculture. Hitherto the
means employed for getting rid of it
were imperfect, Now, however, the
problem is completely solved. "Take
this flower pot" said tho president Of
a meeting in France lately; what is
the meaning Of this small hole at the
bottom ? 80 renew the water. And
why to renew the water Because
it gives life or death life, when it is
only made to pass through the bed OF
earth, for it leaves with the soil its
productive principles, and renders So
luble the nntritiro properties destined
to nourish the plant; death, on the
other hand, when il remains in the
pot, for it soon becomes putrid, and
rots the roots, and also prevents new
water from penetrating. The theory
of drainage is exactly described 10
this hgure-EG.

A Steam Mana Wonderful lnTen"
fiOH.

"Mr. Zadock Deddrick, a Newark
machinist, has invented a man; ono
that, moved by steam, will perform
some of the most important funct-
tons of humanity that will, standing
upright, walk or run, as he is bid, IN
any direction and at almost any rate
of speed, drawing after him a load
whose weight would tax the strength
of three stout draught horses. The
history of this curious invention is as
follows: Six years ago Mr.. Deddrick,
the inventor, who 10 at present but
twenty-five years of age, conceived
the novel idea of constructing a man
that should receive its vitality from q
perpetual motion machine. The idea
was based on the we'll known. me.
chanieaI principle that If heavy
weight be placed al the top OF an up.
right, slightly inclined from a vertical
grayitatioa will tend to produce o
horizontal as we'll as vertical motion.
I he project was not successful
HoweEsr, by observing carefully the
cause of the failure, preserving and
projecting the man from, and by
substituting steam in place Ut the
pei petual motion machine, the pres
ent success was attained.
eThe nan stands seven feet and
nine inches high, the other dimensions

To promote her husbands inter

he bought rags, sewed pamphlets

for long time she performed all the

Nevertheless, she knew how to be

HISTORY OF THE 10TH REGIM ENT
PA. NoLUNTEERs.-We are indebted
to our friend Gen. w. w. II. Davis,
Editor of the Doyiestorn Democrdt, fer
his history of the l0lth Regt. Pa. Vol.
1t is volume of nearly 400 pages, and
containing detailed history of the Reg
iment,::its marches, bivouacs, sieges and
engagements, has a complete roster OF
the Regiment, showing its gains and
losses, with the complete military his
tory of each officer and man in it. The
work is not only valuable to the survi-
wing members ofthe Regiment and the
friends of those who fell by disease or
the fortunes of war, but it is valuable
addition to our military literature, CIV
ing the incidents of camp and field by
one who from his position knew all
that was going on, and who employed
his wcll-known abilities in giving to
the world a record of his Regiment,
which to great extent was the history
of every other Regiment in the field.
The work is calmly and impartially
written without political bias and de-
serves popular recognition MS a reliable
history of the times and events of
which it treats.

appearance indicates the probability Of

which Will be great ornament as well
as great cIedit to the borough men
toned. 1t Is of the Italian style of
architec cture, and is to be sixty feet
front by forty feet deep, and three stor-
les high. The first story is to be divid-
ed into three stores. The central, which
is to be adapted for bank, is to be 13x
40 feet, and the other two 20y40 feet, re-
spectively. There is also to be hall
way, leading to the upper stories, seven
feet in width. The second story is to
be public hall, 4SX3s feet, which is to
be appropriately fit ed up for the pur-
pose. The third story will be for Ma
sonic and Odd Fellows III all, with all
the necessary ante-rooms. The hall
will be 42X24 feet, and the dining-room
32Xl4 feet. 1t will also have n cook
room, and several closets for regalia'
This story will be in every manner pc

THE OPENING OF MARKET ST.-We
understand that an effort is being made
to have the Bloomsbury papers stopped
because they did not notify the people Of
the County that this project was on the
hapis. The facts in the case are us fol-
lows. At the February term lSG7--one
month after the COLUMBIAN came un-
der its present management, a petition
was presented to the Court for opening
Market Street, and Vim. Howell, John
Shipman, and Matthias Gilbert were
appointed viewers and the matter laid
in Court open to inspection by par
ties interested until September term,
1867, period of eight months. The
damages We're fixed at S., 1000 instead of
$4,000 as reported, and of this sum
$500 was paid by private subscription.
The advantages of opening the road are
obvious. That part of the town to
which 1t leads, used to pay the County
but $1,000 Tax annually, and now pays
1t over $500 year, owing to improve
ments.
We would also add that the citizens
Of Bloomsburg have tried time and time
again to get a Borough organization, ,anG
thus take these matters in their owr
hands, but the Grand Jury, represent
ing we presume the people of the
County, have refused them that favor.
In addition we would state that for 8
piece of road in Centre township about
half II mile long, passing solely through
farming land, viewers have granted $9O(
damages, and the people in that section
so far as we know have not protested
against the matter. OF course it is i'm
possible to give our readers full accounts
of all the road views taking place in the
County. They are too numerous, ant
would prove uninteresting.
