SnOW.-The snow storm of Monday last
extended widely over the country and was
mt to be elassed among the important
storms Of the season. Several inches of
snow fell here through the afternoon and
evening, and notwithstanding it melted
away fast, yet enough accumulated on tho
streets to induce the amateurs of sleiching
to bring out their cutters and on Tuesday
morning the music of the merry sleigh
bells was heard for the first time the pres
ent winter.
Since the storm the nights have been
quite cold, but the bright sunshine of the
day partially undoes what the frost seals
up at night, and sloppy, muddy roads and
streets have been the consequence.

Insprorements.-Ou two miles of board

Council. New houses greet us in all the
streets. No building in town has been
more improved in appearance than the old
Academy, which has been thoroughly re-
paired and refitted, nicely painted, and
converted into public school-houss. Out
side of Elkton, we don't believe there is a
better or more attractive school-hous in
the county. We hope (and we believe it
to be true) that tho school held therein is
as flourishins as the building is pleasing to
the eye. The new hall is nearly completed.
OF this, as public building, we can say
but little. We are not particularly struck
with its archtecture-its general plan-or
its location. 1t looks more like ware
house than hall. When it is finished,
look out for 4 course of lectures and a fine
ball Grease your heels, young men and

Qoloring Woolen Yarn.

The most beautiful WOODEN yarn,
plain or mixed, ] ever saw was col
ored with a noisome weed at an
expence of less than five cents a
pound, and in less than one-eighth
part of the time required to color
with indigo. / have now worn
it for years, and my childen have
worn it from their infancy, and
it is always bright and fast. My
wife and sisters have sold the yarn
and knitted the goods in large
quantities, and always above the
market for the common blue.
The color is blue with a slight
tinge of purple. Our people keep
their dye tub, and color with indi-
70, whenever it seems desirable,
hut they much prefer for most
purposes the color produced by
the following recipe:
For q mordant use two ounces
of alum to two pounds Of wool.
Boil two hours. Macerate half a
bushel Of common Purslain Rr-
tulacco oleracca)and quarter of
pound of logwood chips, in sepa-
rate kettles. Strain and mix, and
boil the wool two hours. Drain
and rinse. and it is done.

Care of Boots and Shoes.

Boots and shoes, if taken care of
properly, will usually last two or
three times longer than they usu-
ally do, and, at the same time, fit
the feet far more satisfactorily,
and keep them dry and more COM
Portable in wet and cold weather.
The upper leather should be kept
soft and pliable, while the soles
need to be hard, tough and imper-
vious to water. The first thing to
be done with any pair of new shoes
for farm use, is to set each one on
a platter or an old dinner-plate,
and pour on boiled linseed oil, suf-
ficisnt to I'll the vessel to the up
per edge Of the soles. Allow the
leather to absorb as much oil as
it will for eight hours. Linseed-
oil should not be applied to the
upper leather, as it win soon be-
come dry, rendering the leather
hard and tough. But if the soles
be saturated with this oil, it will
exclude the dampness, and en-
large the pegs, so that the sole
will never get loose from the up
per leather. 1.-THE shoes be sewed,
the linseed oil will preserve the
thread from rctting. Now wet
the upper leather thoroughly
when the boots or shoes are to be
put on the feet, 30 that those parts
which are tight may render a tri.
fle, and thus adapt the form ofthe
foot for more satisfactorily than
when the upper leather is not wet.
Keep them on the feet until the
leather is nearly dry. Then
give the upper leather a thorough
greasing with equal parts of lard
and tallow, or with tallow and
neat's-foot oil. If shoes be treat
ed in this manner, and row of
round-headed shoe nails be
driven around the edge of the
sole they will wear like copper, and
set easy to the feet. Bootsand shoes
should be treated as suggested, and
worn a little several months before
they are to be put to daily service.
This is the true way to save your
shoe. Hearth and Home.

How TO Prevent Smut in
Wheat.

J. NJ. Burton, of Newcastle, Pa,
"having seen requests for informa-
ton on this subject" forwarded
the following recipe:
"Put your wheat intended for
sowing in pile on smooth broad
floor the evening before you are
going to use it; then for each bush
ell take one ounce Of blue vitriol,
powdered, and one quart Of boil
ing water; mix till dissolved then
pour it, boiling hot, gradually on
the wheat, while another hand
turns it over and thoroughly mix
es it. When in England, | never
knew this to fail, nor did | ever
know any one who tried it to go
back to the salt and brine prepa-
ration. The seed of the smut is
doubtless on the out side of the
grains, and only needs favorable
circumstances to make it grow"

.ight in the school.Room,

Light in the School-Roonn,
: Rev. I. De Witt Talmage, Of
Brooklyn, N. Y, in a recent ser
mon, thus spoke of light in the
school-room'':
LET US have plenty of light in
our school-rooms and homes--light,
clear and beautiful, such as God
pours out of His sun every day, a
world full of it; not crowding
through between small windows,
and glass-stained or cobwebbed /:
plenty of light, like that which
puts blue into the gentian, and
covers the sea with emerald, and
sends up the mist of the valley in
to whirling columns of glory sky
tall, and at sunset pulls back the
bars of heaven until the bright
ness of that land strikes through
and through the cloud racks, drip
ping down the battlements in
sapphire, and purple, and orange,
and flaming fire. Give us light
and no gloom for God is light,
and in Him is no darkness at all.
If the photographer takes the
brightest room in the building 10
make his pictures, shall we not
have bright room where the Sun
of righteousness is to impress the
image of the eternal God on the
human soul? Let there be deep
night in mountain cavern, and
down in the coal-shaft, and in the
hold of ships, but let It fly hom
the school-room as quick as you
can batter q hole in the wall, or
throw back the shutters. God
said at the beginning, and it thrill.
ed through all the universe, Let
there be light and there was
hight.
with the light will come the
air-not the bottled.up of other
Sundays kept over from week to
week, as though, like wine, it i'm
proved by age ; or such as fingers
in damp easements under the
church, but fresh, clear, air, such
as comes painting off the sea, OF
down the hillside, sweeping up
the aroma of whole acres of red
clover-top. Make such places
bright and glad. Because Christ
was born in a manger is no rea-
son why we should worship him
in a barn"
