THr EAR.-Rrr Hall says picking the
ears is a most miscLievous practice. In
attempting to do this with hard substances
an unlucky motion has many a time pierced
tie drum ; nothing sharper or harder thar
the end of the little finger, with the mail
pared, ought ever to be introduced into
the ear, unless by a physician. Persons
are often seen endeavoring to remove the
wax Of the ear with the head of a pin.
This ought never to be done: First, be-
cause it not only endargers the rupture Of
the ear by being pushed too far in, but if
lot 50 far it may CRATE against the drum,
excite inflammation, and an ulcer which
will finally eat all the parts away, especial
ly of a scrofulous constitution; second,
hard substances have often slipped in and
caused the necessity of painful operations
to fish or cut out third, the wax is manu-
factured by nature to guard the entrance
from dust, insects and unmodifed cold air,
and when it has snbserved its purpose it
becomes dry, scaly, light, and in this con-
dition is easily pushed outside by the new
formations of wax within "a,

RErARDINe PEACH BLossoMs.-Peach
growers should look to it that their peach
trees do not blossom during this warm
weather. il they should, a nipping frost,
which we shall be sure to have, will pre-
vent us from eating homegrown peaches.
To do this effsctually put sawdust or any
other heavy substance around the tree, wet

cover it with plank, slabs, bricks, stones,
slate or other material This viii keep
the roots cold, and the tree will not blossom
before you want it to.-EOur Home Jour

These Instruments have been before the
Public for nearly Thirty Years, and upon their
excellence alone attained AN U~NPURCHAsED
PRE-EMINENCE, which p]ronounces them un-
equaled. Their TONE combines great power.
sweetness and fine singing quality, as well as
great purity OF information, and sweetness
throughout the entire scale. Their TOUCH
is plant and elastic, and entirely free from
the stiffness found in so many Pianos. In
WORKMANSHIP they are unequaled, using
none but the very best seasoned material, the
large capital employed in our business ena-
bling rs to keep continually an immense
stock of lumber, &c, on hand.
~ All our SQUARE PIANOS nave our
New Improved Overstrung Scale and the
AGRAFFE TREBLE.
tEYT We would call special attention to our
late improvements in GRAND PIANOS and
SQUARE GRANDS, Patented Aug. IA, 1866,
which bring the Piano nearer perfection than
has yet been attained. =.
Every Piano Fully Warranted for Five Years.

t#EtA - - H
FEEDING HORSES TOO Much HAY.-Of all
cur domestic animals, there are mono that
require more systematic care than the
horse. A horse should be fed regularly,
and in moderate quantities, and worked
judiciously. A horse fed in this way may
be kept at moderate cost, and will be more
healthy and perform more labor, than if
fed highly, or as many we know of, are in
the habit Of feeding their horses. They
will surely eat enough to injure them if
they can get it. When hay is kept con-
stantly before them, horses are apt to
spend their time in throwing it around
topsy.turyey in the rack, they soon become
dissatisfied with their food, and lose their
keen relish for it. The general practice
should be TO feed regularly three times a
DAY. - =

We this week arc in receipt Of the Clay
County Independent, published at Clay
Center. There are before that county
propositions to vote bonds to the Kansas
Central (Leavenworth) and Junction
City and Fort Kcarney Railroads and
the Independent very Lccomingly takes
the Junction City Union to task for sncer-
ing at tho narrow guage road. The In
dependent favOrs both roads but ofthe two
it chooses the Lcavenworth, or eastern,
road. 1t is easy to tell what ails the On
ion. The Kansas Central leaves Junction
City far to the side and If it is built it
might cripple the chances for her own
road; otherwise, If the Kansas Central
was proposed to Junction City, we would
sec that quarter going into ecstacics over
narrow guages.

The realm of polygamy is disturbed
Brigham Young was arrested on the I'd
instant, at Salt Lake, by an Indictment
of the grand jury, charging him, under
the Utah statute, with lewdly and licen-

women. Other Mormon dignitaries are
also being arrested. The Government
will secure the everlasting gratitude OF
the nation if it follows up the hallowed
work of blighting from American soil

SALT LAKE, Sept GA number Of
Gentiies have sent away their families,
in anticipation of serious difficulties be-
tween the Mormons and the United
States authorities, growing out of the
supposed action of the grand jury against
Brigham and other church dignitaries.
Although it is generally believed that
indictments will be found on gravest
charges against these men, any overt
act, on the part of the Mormons, is not
considered probable by well informed
persons.

ever this may have agreed with his de-
sires, Ben has evinced his sagacity, to say
the least, in this decision.
