USEFUL RECIPES, ETC,

Two strengthening machines, said to
work successfully, were exhibited at the
American Institute Fair.
BECAUSE a farmer cannot have a good
barn is not a sufficient reason why his
stock should have no protection from the
winds
IT is said that artificial marble may be
be made as follows: Mix plaster of Paris
in solution of alum; bake in an oven,
and grind to powder; it may then be
mixed with water and formed into any
shape. 1t will bear high polish.
To MAKE an amusing sympathetic ink,
mix lemon and onion juice. Writing or
pictures made with this mixture on plain
white paper will, when dry, be invisible
but on warming the paper before fire, the
lines will appear in brown tints. Very
pretty effects may be thus produced.
THE Rural Nec Yorker says: eve
would never have a manure cellar under
a barn of ours-especially if il is a stock
barn. Nor would we have manure lie
against the side of a barn. 1t should be
shOveled into wheel barrow, or cart, or
drag, and removed where none of the
fumes of fermentation could contaminate
the air of the stable"
A CORRESPONDENT of the Country Gen
ten,da gives the following as a valuable
lotion for blows and bruises for man and
horse: "Dissolve or of camphor in or.
of spirits of wine, and add or. of oil Oi
turpentine, or. spirit of sal-ammoniac
y OF. OF oil Of origanum, and 1 table
spoonful of laudanum. Rub well four
times day, fifteen minutes each time"

MalariOuS FOgS.

Countless millions of cubic feet of malarious
vapor reek from the moist earth every twenty-four
hours during the month of November. This evap-
GRATED moisture is the active principle which be-
gets fever and ague, bilious remittents Indigestion
dysentery, bilious cholic, rheumatism and many
other ailments which prevail more generally in the
Fall than at other seasons and some of which, in
low, swampy regions and new olearings, take the
form of viruent epidemics. The best safeguard
against these complaints, evidenced by the expe-
rience of long series of years. is HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BTTTERS, the most pleasant and at
the same time the most efficient of all vegetable
tonics The invigoraton of the system is manifest
y the best of defending it against the
OF sickness, whether constitutional casual. Ma
ture, as every pathologist knows, is the most de-
terInined enemy OF disease, and the paroXysms Of
an acute malady are in most instances the cOnse-
| quences of the efforts she makes to conquer the
| foe. The great object, therefore, of preventive
treatment is to reinforce the system, and ii is
complished thoroughly, rapidly and safely, by the
use of HOSTETTER'S BIrTERS. This powerful
tonic contains also an aperent and corrective prin-
cple. 1t is no less valuable as a regulator and pu-
riier than an invigorant and there is no danger
of exciting the brain or overstimulatng the Clrcu-
lation by employing it antdote.

CABINET ORGANS AT Low PRICEs.-SOme feeling
| has been excited among manufacturers of reed Or
gans by the low prices at which the MASON & HAM
LIN ORGAN COMPANY are now Offering their well
known instruments. Ii is claimed that instruments
of such quality cannot be afforded at such prices,
and that the Company are, therefore, by their
| course, running the business of other manufac-
turers without benefting themselves The
ground taken by the MASON & HAMLIN COMPANY
is, that this course is only in accordance with
their fixed policy to sell always the best
instruments at the lowest remunerative prices
With the rapid growth of their business,
which has now assumed very large proper
tons, they have been enabled to avail themselves
of new facilities, such as improved machinery, co
that notwithstanding they now producing the
best organs they have made, the cost is at the
same time reduced that they afford what
seem to makers having less facilities to be runous
ly low prices for work of such fine quality. 1t i:
admitted that instruments surpass these
and the ambition of most manufacturers is satisfied
when they believe they turning out organ:

day evening ficticious Weston passed
through this city, clad in military
uniform, and followed by three two
horse sleighs. A multitude OF persons
walked with him through the city, and
he left us amid the light of bontires, as
sorting that he would rest over Sunday
in Swanton Falls, thirty-two miles
distant. This morning the genuine
Weston came into the city, having
walked from New Haven Centre, Ad-
OF thirty-two miles. before breakfast.
The whole city was astonished, Mayor
Ballou, who had paid his respects to the
sham Weston, called on the real pedes-
trian at his hotel, and after short con-
versntion became satisfied that he had
hold OF the genuine article. The affair
has created much Indignation. 1t is
said that the walkist was personated
by two students of the Burlington
College, who took turns In walking
through the various towns and villages
and rode through the country in a
sleigh.
The real Weston Is now nearly two
days behind time. and Is much annoy
ed by the sham affair ahead OF him. 1t
is reported thatthe people of st. Adams
have been humbugged in the Same
manner. Weston left here at 1:20. and
will walk hence to Rouse's Point, N. y.
$50 miles from Bangor, before stopping.
He is still confident of making up lost
time: The young lady who followed

him with IL pair of wooden gloves of her
own manufacture, is greatly mortified.

thinks not, but publishes communi-
cation from an English lady who
thinks differently. Here's what she
says:
For myself, believe that corporal
punishment has its advantages over
any other for girls up to sixteen or sew
enteen, and presume that it is because
many OF my countrywomen think SO,
that its use Is adhered to; for you are
quite right as to the possibility OF
dancing at evening with young lady
who has been Boundly fagellated in
the morning. And why not, If she de.
served it?-unless, indeed, the whip
ping had been so severe as to render
that amusement uncomfortable. l
ma" that the instrument is of little
moment, so long as 1t be sharp enough.
The resort Of materfamilias to the slip
per or the open hand may do for a
child whom one might take across ones
lap for a spanking, but when 1t comes
to girl OF sixteen, 1t is clear to
me that such a proceeding would
just this: that in such cases, espe-
cially, chastisement should be resorted
to as seldom as may be-OnlY as the
last alternative-and then 1t should be
thorough, not consisting In mere form
Of submitting to few make-believe
taps on the hand, but keen and en-
phatic, and sufficiently protracted to
make the proceeding not one TO be de-
sired soon again by the recipient:
Therefore, the whip should be slender
and plant, and applied directly to the
skin. An abrasion with a awitch Is at
any rate far better than Oruising with
a cain or a rattan. If 1t be
asked ,Ohy think personal corrections
prefera BILE to any other penalty at times,
it is enough to reply that in my exper-
fence, and doubtless those of many
others, (since they defend it and adhere
to its use, it is the penalty OF all others
most dreaded, which is Synonymous
with most efficient. And as to the dig
nifty, so-called, which in this country
stands in tho way of submission to it,
1 am sure that the absence OF that pert,
forward, fast assumption ofsuperiority
and defiant bearing toward parents and
teachers and all superiors, which ia 80
evident among the younger misses,
would be cheaply purchased at the e1.

far to redeem the occasional whipping
