For the Girls-How to get Husband.

From an excellent communication pub
lished in the Columbus, Miss. Ader, we
cory the following expressly for the
girls
Being old and therefore allowed license
tor teasing the girls on matrimonial subjects,
consult them about their future prospects
often, and find that the opinion obtains
with them that the young men were never
SO slow IN proposing as IN these days !;
which, We must admit, gives than good,
not to say all powerful reason for taking a
husband. Now, young ladies', the whole
secret with nine tenths of you, of not being
able to get of yous parent S hands, Is simply
that you DO not know how to work You
cant Keep house. You don't know how
to make pair of breeches. You can't tell,
FOR the life OF you, the difference between
bran and shorts, or which COW gives the
butternik. The young men generally
come out of the war with the skin of their
teeth, with 10 fortune, [ might say, but
their wardrobes Of gray and their canteenS,
ana 20 marry with them now rest assured,
relates more to making a living with the
assistance Of a loving, industrious help
mate, then INDUCING in opera music,
moonshne and poetry. Do you know what
they say of one of your butterfly young
ladies who has held them in the parlor en-,
gagged by the hour listening to elegant
nothings p Nineteen times ont of twenty
is his-.Well, she is all right for an eve
ning's entertainment, but she will not make
a good wife
There is no possible objection to the ac-
compishments Of music, paintings and tho
like, as such, bat the is to be able to set
these prior amusements aside for tie period
when the stern duties of married life call
I for your practical knowledge. Show the
young men that you can do your part OF
double business; that you can cook a meal S
victuais on pinch ; that you can sweep
uE, and save penny towards an accumu-
lated pound; that you will not be dead
expense to him through life. Believe me,
your friends, many true, heroic and WON
anly hearts beat over hous hold duties as
fiutter beneath the the soft light of the
parIor chandelier. Your Hiss is inst as
sweet, your smiles is just as bright, your
heart just as happy and tender, after a
day exertion in field worthy Of true wom-
anhood, as in places of dissipation, "trip
pery and amusement. Have an ambition
to do your part in life cultivate industrial
habits, ana let the parlor accomplishments
go for the the higher accomplishments |
have roughly enumerated. 1t is astonish-
ing how soon a domestic young lady is
found out and appreciated. It is because
she Is such rare exception to the general

Lively Bear Story.

The Chippewa Times has good story of
party OF hunters in search of wild cats.
who found instead three large bears. The
party had Just separated to scour the local
ity, when Sheriff Buzzel was suddenly con
fronted by an enormous black bear, coming
right out Of the ground, and not six feet
distant. The peril was imminent, and
only one thing to do--'fght it out on that
line, and that suddenly. He shouted to
warn his party, and fired, striking the bear
In the center Of the head. Doubling up
like knot, he disappeared as he came out.
The firing brought the rest of the party,
and il was resolved to go into the hole, tie
rope to the bear leg and draw him out,
and to de this one must be lowered head
foremost into the hole. Mr. Buzzell pre-
pared for this job, and was lowered into
the ground about eight feet before he came
to the bear, which was lying quartering,
hind part towards him. lie undertook to
tie a rope round one Of his legs, when a
tension of the muscle, movement of the
body, and at the same time Struggling
ray Of light revealed two other bears and
his own awful situation Bu8zel, eight
feet in the ground, head foremost, with a
single weapon, with three wild bears, and
the only means of getting out to be hauled
out by ropes attached to his feet, was very
uncomfortable. How he escaped from the
situation is wonder to all who know
anything about it; but he got off with
blow on the head and a scratch extending
from the jaw to the temple. But the bear
got the worst of it for he followed his man
out, and on showing his head received
ball under the jaw, coming out at the top
Of his head So to get him out was the
next consideration, and Blashfcld was
slowly and cautiously lowered into the den,
revolver in hand A survey showed that
the old bear was dead, and but one other in
sight and that not at all pugnacious. He
attached a rope to the old bears leg,
whanged bis revolver at the remaining one,
gave the signal and was jerked out. When
the old bear was drawn out, the others
seemed bound to come too, and as fast as
they showed themselves, they were fred at.
Forty-one shots were fred and their heads
wero riddled with holes before they sue
cumbed The old bear dressed weighed
300 pounds, the others about $50 each.

INCREASE IN AGRICULTURAL MACHINE
RY,-The wonderful increase Of agricul-
tural machinery in the United States, dur
ing the last ten years, is shown from
statistics furnished by the Patent Office
In l847, the number of agricultural pat
ents was but forty-three; in 1868, it had
increased to three hundred and ninety; in
1864, to five hundred and sixty three; In
1865, TO six hundred and forty two; while
in 1866, the increase has gone up to one
thousand seven hundred and seyenty-eight
During ten months of the present year, the
Patent Office has issued no less than one
thousand seven hundred and seventy
seven. Notwithstanding this large increase
in farm machinery and labor saving imple-
ments, il is question whether we have
improved in any marked ratio in the cul
ture and management OF farms. The APP
piication Of recently improved machines
enables the farmers to do his work quicker
al less expense, and at less waste Of mus
Gle. In all this there is wonderful adj
vance over ten years ago. Bntevea though
the progress of improved farming may not
have been as rapid as coUld have been de-
sired. yet there is more thought upon the
subject now than then, and the day is not
distant when we shall sec good fsrmiug the
rule, rather than the expectation.

Il Runaway Wife Pound at Detroit
$4,000 Squandered.

From the Detroit Free Press, January Oh.
At the breaking out of the late civil
war, there lived in the interior of Mississip.
pl wealthy family named Western, con-
slstlng OF father, mother and two sons;
but the rude blast Of war. swept over the
land, and the family became widely sepa-
rated, leaving only the OLD people at home
During the four years ct terror which fol-
lowed, one OF the sons persisted in the Con-
tederate army and the other emigraeed
westward, and for many months no tidiug5
OF him reached bis parents. At length
the father, unable longer to endure the
Suspense, started in search Of his son, and
during his absence the wife and mother
dccamped with $50, 900. Whittier she
went at first we are not informed, but a
short time ago the Chief Of Police, Of this
city, received letter from the son alluded
to above, informing him that Mrs Western
was then in this ely, at work in dress
making establishment on Woodward aycn-
uc, and requesting him to keep trace Of her
movements, until his father and himself
should arrive. The chief called at the es
Enlistment indicated in the letter and found
the woman whom he eau cd to be arrested.
By dint OF a little sharp practice, about one
third OF the money was recovered, but she
persistcntIy refused to give any information
that would lead to the recovery Of the re
mainder When asked why ahe left
home under such circumstances, she
replied vaguely, and her general domcan
or was such as to induce the belief that
she is at times insane. At least, SO said her
son. She offered no objections to returning
home, but, on the contrary, asscnted with
the greatest earnestuess. Whether she
was accompanied in her flight by any per
son, and what has been done with the re-
naming fourteen thousand dollars, are prob,
lens yet to be solved. However, there
was forgiveness, and a comparatively hap
py reunion at the Office Of the Chief Of
Police yesterday, and the two started lor
home last evening.
