Preparations Of White.

Whitewash is one of the most
valuable articles in the world,
when properly applied. 1t not
only prevents the decay of wood
but conduces greatly to the health
mess of all buildings, whether of
wood or stone. Out buildings and
fences, when not painted, should
be supplied once or twice year
with a good coat of whitewash
which should be prepared in this
way: Take a clean, water-tigh!

and stir it briskly till thoroughly

been thoroughly effected, dissolve
in water, and add two pounds of
sulphate Of zinc and one of com.

cracking, which gives an unseen.
ly appearance to the work. If de
silable, beautiful cream color
may be communicated to the above
wash by adding three pounds of
yellow ochre, or a good pearl OF
lead color, by the addition of lamp
vine, or ivory black. For fawn
color, add four pounds of lumber,
Turkish or American, the latter is
the cheapest, one pound of Indian
red, one pound Of lamp-black.-
For common stone color, add four
pounds of raw lumber, and two
pounds of lamp-black. This wash
may be applied with a common
whitewash brush, and will be found
much superior both in appearance
and durability to the common
whitewash.

nine years old a wrinkle comes on
his eyelid, and every year there
after he has well-defned wrinkle
for each year over nine. II, for

Warts on cows teats may, says
an exchange, be easily removed by
applying the following simple rem
edy: In a quart of soft water dis
solve one-quarter pound of alum ;
and in this solution wash the teats
and udder carefully, morning, noon
and night. Perseverance in this
course will, in a few days, remove
every vestige of the disease, leav-
ing the parts formerly afflicted,

A Word TO Women.

THERE are strifes and inward warfare
in many, perhaps in most families, and
yet an impartial judge could seldom if
ever, mpute the whole offence to either
side; indeed, there may be no intention
al offensive act, but simply the friction
of inharmOniOus natures, the greatest
sufferer being not necessarily the wO-
man, but the one possessing the most
sensitive nervous organization. This is
one cause of the early fading out of our
American wOmen-this and the burden
of heavy household duties, the multi
| tude of family cares. I know it is sad
to be young, fresh, and attractive, and
in q few years to be old, faded and for
lOrn, with a weight of care never lifted
from aching shoulders, and the duties
of six pressing upon one feeble pair of
hands. 1t is sad to see, in-eXpreSsibly
more sad must it be to experience. re-

women whom | once knew as fresh

One hundred and seventy years ago
am elegant parish church at AlthCrstOnc,
England, was, as all houses of worship
had been, entirely open and available 10
wOrshippeTs, but il entered the mind of
an elderly lady that she would prefer to
know where to sit. 1t was unpleasant
to think that anybody should be placed
beside her. She accordingly begged to
be allowed to put up q piece of boarding
to screen herself from all the rest of the
world. No sooner did this appear than
another wanted partition to enable her
to enjoy, as her own, some particular
spot. Then an old gentleman thought
he would like to have some accommodation
reserved for him. This closing in of the
ohuroh for private purposes gave its in

storm was so severe that it was deemed
too dangerous to pursue them, although
a steamer was at the wharf. Grenfel

or three instances of the many acts of
cruelty practiced at the fort. During

must resort to stratagem. Only little
distance ahead was house, and an old
farmer, named LOugee, lived there; and
directly before it a huge snOWbank
stretched across the road, through which
a track had been cleared with shOvels.
As we approached the cut l saw light
in the front room, as I felt confident l
should, for the old man generally set up
until the stage went by. [ drove on, and
when nearly opposite the dwelling, stood
up, as l had frequently done when ap-
preaching difficult places. | saw the
snOwbank ahead, and could distinguish
the deep cut which had been ShOveled
through it. urged my horses to good
speed, and when near the bank forced
them into it. One of the runners mount
ed the edge of the bank, after which the
other ran into the cut, thus throwing
the sleigh over about as quick as though
had struck it.
My passenger had not calculated on
any such movement, and wasn't pre-
pared for it; but I had calculated, and
was prepared. He rolled out into the
deep snow with a heavy buffalo robe
around him, while I lighted on my feet
directly on top of him. / punched his
head in the snow, and sung out for old
LOUgee. I did not have to call second
time, for the farmer had come to the
window to see me pass; and as soon as
he saw my sleigh overturned, he had
lighted his lantern and hurried out.
"What's to pay ?O asked the old man,
as he hurried out.
"Lead the horses into the track, and
then come here" said I.
AS I spoke I partially lOOsened my
hold upon the Villains throat, and he
drew a pistol from his bosom, but saw
it in season, and jumped his head into
the snow again, and got it away from
him. By this time LOugee had led the
horses out and came back, and l explain
ed the matter to him in as few words as
possible. We hauled the rascal out in
to the road, and, upon examination, we
found about twenty packages of letters
which he had stolen from the mailbag
and slowed away in his pockets.
He sWOre, and threatened, and prayed,
but we payed no attention to his blarney.
LOugee got some stout cord, and when
we had securely bound the villain we
tumbled him into the pUng, I asked the
old man if he would accompany us to
LittletOn, and he said ''Of oOuEsen So
he got his Overcoat and muffier, and ere
long we started ON.
l reached the end Of my route with
my mail all safe, though not as snug as
it might have been, and my mail-bags a
little the worse for the game that had
been played upon them. However, the
mail rObber was secure, and within
week he was identified by some officers
from Concord as an old offender, and
am rather inclined to the opinion that
he is in the State prison at the present
time. At any rate, he was there when
last I heard from him.
That's the only time I ever had any
mail trouble; and think that under all
the circumstances, came out of it pret-
ty well.

POLICE CoURT.-The Police Court
yesterday was largely attended by un-
bleached citizens inspired with anxiety
to know what would be done with the
"loyal-colored" moke whose determiHa-
tion to ride in the street cars got him
into trouble; FOUNDERS who attend any
thing and everything because they have
nothing else to do, and ladies who at
tend under compulsion, as witnesses.
And this extensive and varied audience
was disappointed. The whole thing
was fizzle, fiasco, swindle. There
were five cases, all of them for disor-
derby conduct. Four of them were set
tied before coming to trial, and the
other, that of the darkie, was continued
until this morning. By the way, this
negro, Henry Hellinger by name, holds
that the Street Railroad Company have
no right to exclude him from seat in
side of the car, and a good many loyal
lists are taking the same view. If the
company have no right to make such
rules for the government of their cars
as they please, how is it that white
man with cigar in his mouth is not
permitted to ride inside or OIL the front
platform Ifthey are excluded because
cigar smoke is offensive to some, may
not the negro be excluded as being

him. The man carried on so while in

{: LECTURES TO LADIES ONLY.-Mrs.
French has arrived in the city and taken
rooms at the Grant House, where she
will be prepared to see ladies desiring
her services, from o'clock this morning.
Her stay here this time will be briefer
than she at first anticipated, conse-
quently she will be obliged to devote
more hours to her patients in order that
all may be accommodated. On Monday
she will commence a course of four lee
lures, to ladies only, in Hornbrook's
Hall. Mrs. French's success here has
been wonderful, and we are satisfied
that she will be compelled to lengther
her visit or come again shortly.
