NOTES FROM TME COUNTRY

The severe freeze which visited this
section in the latter part of October
took the nutritive substance out OF the
pastures in great degree. In conse'
quence, farmers have commenced feed
ing their stock month or more earlier
than usual this season. Constant and
regular feeding must be done, this year,
between six and seven months. With
an unfavorably wet summer and an un-
usually long winter, many farmer
will mentally ask the question, "Does
farming pay :" Blessed is the man who
has not too much stock for his feed, for
the latter article will be scarce before
grass grows in the spring
LINE upon line, and precept upon
precept," is needed by the careless faIm.
er to induce him to keep his stock econ
omically in winter. Any kind of live
stock, to be profitable to its owner, must
be kept in good condition during the
fall, and be we'll housed, in warm, dry
quarters through the inclement season
Besides being barbarous to expose cattle
to the cold winds and pelting storms, II
is Improbable. When exposed, they
require more feed to keep them in good
condition and there is inevitably
great waste of feed when fed out in the
wet and mud. Every farmer with any
experience and Judgment, knows this
yet very small minority of those who
do know it, practice it.
MERCY to the fingers as well as econo
my, requires that the farmer who ha'
not already got his corn all husked and
we'll housed should lose no time in tin'
ishing up this job. Every day that corr
now remains in the field it will sutfoI
some loss from the depredations of birds
ground-hogs, and other animals and
from damage caused by the weather.
EVERY fruit tree of an uuprohtablt
variety should be grated over next
Spring to some variety more desirable
There is probably not an orchard in the
State in which one or more trees cannot
be found which would do better by
being grated over. The gratis vii.
make a more vigorous growth next yeal
and do better generally if cut this fall
before much heavy freezing has affected
the Young wood. In order to keep them
we'll they should be packed in damp
moss or slightly damp sawdust, in small
boxes.
LIVE Stock SALEs.-Woult it not
be desirable for number of farm
ers living within q radius of %
or 80 miles Of Wheeling, who oc'
casionally have some speeies Of fine
stock to sell, to join together and make
annual, semi-aunual or more frequent
public sales of such stock, at some con-
venient pointi Let the time and place
of sale together with the stock Of vari,
ous kinds that would probably be offered
be Announced and generally understood
some weeks beforehand; then farmers
and others desirous Of purchasing such
stock, far and near, would fio'k to the
great fair Hnd sale. Such sales are
held with great advantage in some sec,
tions. They would certainly be exceed,
ingly interesting and most probably
profitable to both buyer and seller
Everybody would then know just where
to 20 to either sell or buy whatever he
desired in tho live stock line. What

hogs of 300 pounds and upward range

$40 90. Those now coming in arc prin-
cipally about half fat; and the half Of

hogs are as scarce as last year.

more active demand is expected. Be-
fore next shearing time those who hold

little pulled wool to overrun the market
and crush the ..prices, as was the case

WONDERS OF TIE UNIVERSE,

The stars are the landmarks of tho
universe and amid the endless and
complicated fluctuations OF our system,
seem placed By their Creator as guides
and records, not merely to elevate our
minds by the contemplation of what
is vast, but to teach us to direct our
actions by reference to what is immu-
table, in his works
BY the observations Of the relative
situations Of the stars, we are enabled
to determine our days and years with
the utmost accuracy. The stars are
our most perfect chronometers. We
have, by their assistance, measured
the circumference of our globe, and
determined the positions of all places
on its surface.
The quantity Of light emitted by
many of the fixed stars, proves that
they must be situated at immense dis.
tances from our system. BY the ex.
periments Of Dir. Walnston, il has been
found that the light Of the sun is
equal to eight hundred thousand full
moons, and about twenty millions of
millions of times greater than that Of
Sirius, the brightest OF the fixed stars.
According to the computations Of
Sir William Herschel, there are stars
so distant, that light, which travels at
the rate Of 100000 miles in a second,
would require $4,000 years to travel
from those stars to our earth. Hence
it follows, that if such star were to
be at this moment eNtingushed, the
inhabitants of the earth would continue
to see the stars for $4,000 years to
come.
Such contemplatons are sufficient
to ooverwhelm us. The question arises,
"ior what purposes were all these
luminaries created r. "Surely," says
Sir William HersUhel, "not to illume
our nights, which an additional moon
of the thousandth part the size of our
own world would do much better
nor TO sparkle as pageant, void Of
meaning and reality, and bowilder us
among vain conjectdres. Useful, it is
true, they are to man as points Of
exact and. permanent reference but
he must have studied astronomy to
little purpose who can suppose man TO
be the only object of bis Creators
care, or does not see, in the vast and
wonderful apparatus around us, pro.
vision for other races Of animated
beings"

A Strange Incident at a Funeral.

On last Saturday, in q little country
church, near this city, as an humble
village parson was preaching the
funeral sermon of an old man, two
young men passed the door Of the
church; one, youth of twenty-five,
proposed TO goin and "see whom they
were about to plant" (to use his own
words) They entered, and as they
did 50, the little congregation were
about to take q last look at the still,
pale face of the deceased, the youths
joined the melancholy procession.
They paused moment at the bier,
when the one who had proposed to
enter the church and "see whom they
were about to plant" bent down over
the coffin and gave signs Of the most
poignant grief He wept bitterly, and
refused to leave the coffin. Some one
suggested to him to pass on, when
he said: "This is my father-how
camc he here 2"
The sequel was soon told. AT the
beginning of the war the youth had
enlisted IN an Indiana regiment, and
had remained in the service till the
last battle. lie had been mustered
out, had taken employment in Mary
land, and remained in that Stateuntil
few days since, when he started
home to see his aged parent. En-
ronte he had stopped in the village TO
visit cnna ridn ~ bo had fnpn thtnn oh
the war with him. The two, in taking
a walk, passed the church in which
the funeral service Of John Slayton
was proceeding, and by some strange
Influence young Slayton had oeen led
to enter the church, when the sight
Of the lifeless form gave him the first
iniimaiion that he was fatherless.
The elder Slayton bad moved to
Ohio during the last few years of bis
sons absence, and had, after linger-
ing illness, died. Cincinnati Enquirer.
