4 IL the Pittshurg court of quarter
sessions, on the 3lst ult, before full
bench, decision in the case of George
B. Vashon, colored lawyer, was rem
dered. Vashon, sonnet time since, made
application to be admitted to the bar.
The case was argued at the time, and
excited considerable interest among
the legal iaternity of Pittsburg, but no
decision was given until Saturday,
when his admission was refused, on the
ground that he. had not produced a
certificate of admission from the court;
of which he claimed to be an original
member. @ ~. III

THE contested election case of the
2lst Senatorial District, Robinson rs
Shugart, was decided in the Senate by
a party vote on Friday last in favor
Of Robinson the contestant. This was
simply an act ofjustice. The murder
Of the Irishman Cary, and the false
naturalization of foreigners as shown
by the testimony, left no other course
to be pursued, than that Of ousting the
man indirectly implicated. st

French BAprEs.-According to law


FRENCH Misunderstanding to law,
every child born in France-whether OF
prince or acknowledgements be presented
at the Mayors Office within twenty-four
hours of its birth. The only escape from
this presentation is by means of a certifi-
cate from the attending physician, that
it would endanger the life of the infant
to carry it out as the law prescribes
Now, the Academy of Medicine have in
terfered, and petitioned the Minister of
the Interior to suspend this regulation
during the inclement season of the year
at least The object of this law is to Sc
cure the number of male births in the
kingdom, with view to their future en-
rollment in the army.
This French law reminds us of a Gus
tom which once prevailed in this coun-
try, of dipping newborn infants into cold
water; and which DIR. Rush said ironic-
ally, was most admirable practice; for
it killed off all delicate babies, and made
il certain that those who could bear this
ordeal could bear anything. Exchange

BONES AND AsHEs.-Bones and ashes
pass through the housekeeper's hands
every day. Wood is still the chief fuel in
the farm house, and the value of the
ashes is pretty well understood. They are
priced for the I've they yield, and if there
is a surplus from the soap making they
help the kitchen garden at the back door.
The bones are generally thrown to the
dog and lost Now if the careful house.
wife would save the bones as regularly
as the ashes, she would practice a wiser
economy and help her kitchen garden
twice as fast. Bones are worth twice as
much as ashes for manure, if dissolved,
and the ashes will reduce them. Put
both into barrel in the cellar, if YOU
please, and after mixing them half and
half, keep them constantly moist with
soap suds, the hotter the better. The suds
should not be poured on in such quaint
ties as to leach the ashes. In few
months the bones will be disintegrated,
and the whole mass may then be mixed,
and will make an excellent fertilizer for
the flower border on the kitchen garden.

SEEps.-Now is the time for farmers
and gardeners to look over their stock of
seeds and see if they are well provided
against the time of need. When plant
ing times comes, not a moment should be
lost in hunting up seeds. you are short
ofany particular kind of seed and have a
plenty of some other sort, exchange with
your neighbor. If this cannot be done,
and you have to buy, be sure and buy of
only those who are honest and can be de-
pended upon. Always procure the best
seed, for it is poor economy TO use seed
that will produce only inferior results. If
you have planted the same variety of po-
tatoes tor several years, you had better
change your seed procure potatoes from
a distance, for they will produce much
better crop, and the potatoes will be lar
ger and better. Most vegetables may be
greatly improved by care in selecting the
earliest and best seed. Those who can
should raise their own seeds, for, as gen.
eral thing, those that you buy will prove
inferior to those you raise. We have
known cases where corn has been made to
ripen a week or ten days earlier, after as
many years, simply by selecting the seed
in the field from the ears that ripened
earliest Tomatoes may be wonderfully
improved, both in earliness size, and beau
ty, by selecting the earliest and finest
formed specimens among those ripening
early. What is true of corn and toma-
toes, is true Of almost everything that
grows. II, then, so great change can be
produced, let every one exercise great
care in selecting seed, and then be sure
and keep itpure and good.
