A few days since the fre-alarm struck
for Station SO. An Irishman contended
that il was for $50, and hunted in the fire
card for that station. His friend assured
him that such was not the case, but Pat
said it was no such thing, that he under
stood figures better than that. They both
commenced to count over again to see
which was right. First there were three
strokes, and, after an interval, there were
six more, which closed the ringing of the
bell. "Now," said Pat, I" it first struck
three, and then it struck three, and then
it struck six, and then it struck nothing.
Don't three and six and nothing stand for

SECURE FARM HELP.-Farmers lose great
deal Of money every year by not having help
enough to perform the various operations at
the right time For the want of laborers
some farmers cannot prepare the soil for the
crops in the fall or spring, and are always be.
hind time in getting the seed into the ground
and harvesting the crops. For the want Of
help, draining is neglected, manure left IN
collected or unapplied, and roads and fences
allowed to get out OF repair; considerable
portion of wheat and other cereals is lost by
Shedding or is damaged by being left too lorg
out il the weather. All this loss and incon-
venience might be avoided if suitable cottages
for farm hands we're provided on every farm,
with small piece Of land attached to each
for garden, and for pasture for cows or
swine. A comfortable residence in the coun-
try with some privileges attached, and GER
tainty of constant employment, would induce
many useful labOrers to leave the cities and
take up their abode on farms where their la
Dor would be valuable, and where themselves
and their families would be prepared for oc-
cupying farms Of their own.

GROOMING HORSES -The horse being the
most important machine in the farmers es-
tablish ment, care should be taken to preserve
him III as perfect state of health and condi-
ton as possible. The ordinary care OF a horse
consists in feeding and watering him, and
when from neglect he suffers, dosing him with
balls and drenches. Physicing house may
be avoided altogether by treating him prop
erly. Give him roomy, airy stable-a loose
box, or stall, is preferable to tying up with a
halter. Clean out his stable daily; nothing
is more hurtful to the feet of horse than to
permit him to stand in a pile OF fermenting
manure. With a clean bed. and left loose in
his stall, he will, of his own instinct, avoid
lying in filth, and much labor in cleaning will
be saved. Every night, when the days work
is done, wash his feet and legs free from mud
and dirt, and in winter clean off all ice or
snow. Cleanliness is TN absolute preventive
of grease and other diseases which commonly
affect the feet and legs of horses. Have ham
dy in the stable piece ofrOugh sacking, and
rub his legs and knee-joints for a few minutes
before leaving him for the night. A days
blowing or narrowing over soft. yielding soil
is excessively hard work for the legs Of both
horse and man, and this plan of rubbing with
q coarse cloth is good for either. Feed regu-
larly, and groom morning and night. and you
may fthrow physic to the dogs. '-HeGrth

THE NEwLY-ARRIvED.-The newly,
arrived Englishman has come round
again. This time he was busily talking
with young lady on Washington street,
when vender Of those horribly smelling
dried beans approached, with
"Tonka beans, sir ?"
With that languid repelling wave OF
the hand, which only the Englishman can
give, the Briton CALCULATED
"NaW I"
But the bean merchant was not to be
so easily disposed of, and thrusting his
tray of unsavory merchandise under
the others nose, so that he inhaled about
a solid ounce of it's aroma, he again
calculated
"Tonka beans ?"
"Most extwadinawy thing ever saw"
said the Briton, looking down through
his eyeglass at the beans as if they had
been reptiles, while his companion began
to smile rather widely.

A NEW STYLE OF CHEEsE.-A new shaped
cheese is being manufactured in the east, and
is to be introduced into the cheese factories in
this vicinity Their form is an oblong cube,
or of the shape Of q bar of CASTLE soap; about
five inches square and ten inches long, and
weighing ten pounds. This is covered with
an oiled skin which keeps it moist, and may
be kept inclosed after each cutting. It is a
convenient size for family use, and will, in a
measure, modify the practice of buying from
hand to mouth at grocery, a pound or two
at time, of dried up little wedge shaped bits
of CHEESE, of little profit to the grocer and un
satisfactory to the consumer.-Rocse8ter Post

father, was about to incur the penalty

prepared a rod, while his son stood sad
and silent spectator. AS the parent APP
preached to the unpleasant duty, the boy
started on a brisk run toward asneighbor-

a time the youngster increased the dis
lance between them but gradually his
strength began to fail, and when he
reached the hill and began to ascend he
soon lost his vantage ground. Nearer
and nearer the irate father approached,
and just as the top of the hill was reached
and as he came within arms length of the
little fugitive, who was ready to fall with
exhaustion, the boy quickly faced about,
dropped upon the ground, and with an
indescribable cast of countenance, ex
claimed: "Papa, that-mskes a fellow

that the father laughed heartily over the
strategy which his hopeful son exhibited
and the rod was not used.

lake with his wife, leaving at his house
near the shore their three children.

to the beach and hailed their parents,
and wished to ride, but Mr. Gates refused
their request, and telling them to go home
and light the lamps and they would soon
follow home. The children did So and
the two in the boat then went across the
point, and were seen by the children for
some distance, until 1T became too dark

PROSPECTS, FOR SUGAR. The New Or
cans Picaytaae considers that the season
thus far has been quite unfavorable for
the Louisiana sugar crop, as regards the
temperature but the rain fall has been
arge. Everything looks favorable for a
good crop, and better .prices for it. The
Cuban crop is twenty five to thirty pei
cent, shorter than last year. Grinding
is now finished over the whole island ant
the decrease in the crop is generally ad
mitted. AdVices from Europe are also
encouraging. The war has diminished
the supply Of beet root sugar, and price
are buoyant.

CARBoLIc AcID.-The use of this sub
stance as a disinfectant during the COM
ing summer has been warmly recommend
ed, and although highly praised by the
French chemist Lemaire, as having the
power of destroying miasma, and even of
modifying the matter OF contagion, yet
great oare should be observed in it's appli-
cation Carbolic acid after distillation,
congeals in the form of colorless crys-
taline mass, which melts at ninety-tive
degrees Fahrenheit, and On exposure to
the air, attracts moisture rapidly, becomes
liquid, and at ordinary temperature con-
tinues in this form. AS commonly kept
in the shops carbolic acid is colorless
liquid of an oily appearance, peculiar
odor resembling that of creosote, and pos
sesses an acid, burning taste. Applied in
pure state to the skin, it causes sharp
pain, followed by intense inflammation.
Taken internally, it causes fatal results by
its violent action on the stomach and

king carbolic acid for extract Of ginger, q

A LOST WnL.-Troy, New York, has a
case that is almost romantic enough to be
used as the basis of sensational novel,
Two years ago well-to-do citizen of the
town died, leaving large property, but
no will in regard to it's disposition,
although it was thought he had made
one. There were several claimants for
the property, and since the gentleman's
death, a suit IN partition was begun to
divide the estate, and has been in pro-
gress for about year and half. The
other day the widow of the deceased sent
a small bureau to turning shop to have
top put upon it. While repairing it
the carpenter discovered that there was a
false drawer in the bureau to prevent the
accumulation of dirt and dust around the
dresses. In this bottom were discovered
several papers, and among others the
missing will. The suit is to be with
drawn and all parties are made happy.
