PRESERVING EGes IN WINTER--We
have kept eggs perfectly good from Octo-
Der TO March i'm the following manner: Il
piece of lime, as large as quart-dipper,
is put into five gallons of wster, and salt
added until an egg will float. This Is
strained and put into clean keg, into
which a loose head is made to fit easily
knob is fitted to the head for handle.
The eggs are put, as they are gathered,
into the liquid, and the loose head placed
on them 10 keep them below the surface.
The keg should be kept in cool place in
the cellar. The liquor will not freeze ex-
cept at a lower temperature than freezing
point Eggs thus preserved VIII sell read

LAmerican Agriculturistl
A MAN of seventy years, living near
Newport, Ind, quarreled with his vic.
and, taking down his shotgun, announced
that he would commit suicide forthwith
He went into the yard, lay down on The
ground where he could be seen from a front
window, fired the gun off in the air, and re-
mained motionless for an hour, during
which time he slyly watched the door and
window for the appearance of his gr1et-
stricken wife but he was sadly mis-
taken, says the old gentleman's home pa
per. They did not come QUITO see cewhether
he had blown the top of his head of or not.
This was more than the OLD man could
stand he rose up, went into the house, and
made things hot forth old woman and the
. children for a while He'd shoy them
whether they wouldn't come out when he
had killed himself"

narrative relative TO the insanity of Alice,
one of the well-known Logan sisters. She
was found the other day, by a policeman,
wandering in the streets, and when ques-

married to him." Seeing she was laboring
under severe mental excitement, attend

her to the Central Guard House, where

Sensible Words About Advertising.

THE following is from the financial ar
ticlc of late number of the Journal of
Commerce, New York:
People who sit nervOusly in counting
houses, or behind their goods, waiting for
customers to take them by storm, and
making no effort to let the world know
the bargains they have to offer, will find
the season very unpropitious. Many of
those who have spent large sums in hiring
drummers and paying for other well known
appliances of trade, have effected large
sales, but swallowed up too large share
of the receipts in such enormous attendant
expenses The best remuneration has
been found by those who have returned to
more legitimate old-fashioned methods of
pushing their business. We say it, not
simply because we are interested in this
kind of expenditure, but as our best I'D
vice TO all who wish to be enterprising and
to secure a larger custom, there is nothing
now so effective TO this end as judicious
advertising. A little advertising may be
like gentle touch of the whip to poor
Dobbin's horse, a mercy thrown away"
but liberal outlay is almost certain to
bring it in large return, and this VIII last
even beyond the current season. We do
not believe that any one who has valuable
service or desired property TO offer can
fail of a rich harvest by continuous ad-
vertising on a large scale"

" "And Now Kiss Me-"

A very pretty and exceedingly modest
young lady, the other morning, stepped
into well-known music store to make
some purchases, and was waited upon by
an equally modest clerk. Throwing back
her veil, the lady said: 81 want Rock
Me to Sleep" Procuring the music, the
young gentleman laid it before her.
Now" said the young lady, 81 want
the Wandering Refugee" The clerk
bowed, and this was also produced.
"And now," exclaimed the purchaser,
with a bewitching smile, "Kiss me-"
The unfortunate youth gazed in mute
astonishment. "Wh-what did you say
Miss?" he at length found words to ask.
" Kiss Mer az ca-can't do it," he
gasped in agony; l never kissed a young
lady in my life" The veil instantly
dropped, and the would-be purchaser,
hurriedly laying the music on the coun-
ter, took hasty departure. The clerk
only recovered after a somewhat spirited
explanation with the proprietor, but
hereafter, the new composition, kiss
Me-" will be conspicuously posted at the
entrance of the establishment.

THE DISHONESTY OF WIDOW aulfP:

BY L. ]. BATES.
You didn't know Bill Gump? Well, he were
the derndest FOOL
But it were that cuss's luck for to own one
animiie,
Which the neighbors they all called her the
dedicated mule;
AM / hankered for that beauty till
thought that should spile.
Weu now, she re,e a mule!--a fiea-bitten
A. kind o. white,
4 Jest fifteen hands preeizely, an the tallest
An for to see her doin' tricks it were sooth-
s in to the sight,
: For she scooped the hull caboodie o, them
ponies in the show.
I've seed her slip her halter, when no one
= weren't around,
An then pick up her bucket an pump her
self u drink
An then pull off her saddle an roll upon the
ground;
Then go back to her hitchin' post an look
around an wink
I've seed her walk a log with Bill, when he
were that far sprung
We had to hist him on her back; an, as a
gen'ral rule,
When she stepped down at tother eend he
were sartin to be flung;
So know'd there were q fortin in the hide
o. that there mule.
But Bill he wouldn't sell her, though 1 tried
him high and low;
laid for him continooal till he nearly laid
me out.
Sich talents weren't no sort o. use to bum
50 min cuss, ye know,
Which in my hands she'd rake the pile
there ar'n't no sort O doubt.
There come fresh an knocked our bridge:
ono stringer still did stand;
An Bill he 0itS right ND an, SAWS cpl tell
yer wat I'll do''
(He were that corned he didn't know the
water from the land),
MY mule agin an x, She cross an never
wet a shoe"
lit right on that proposish like dead-beat
on nip;
For knew the beam were lev, an, her
shoes were smooth as glass;
An the odds were ten to nothin' that there
animal would slip,
And all my dreams of fortin that one slip
would bring to pass.
l took my stand below the bridge, an when
they tumbled in,
For to save that splendid animile give
a desprut dive
But the ice was runnin' thick, an though
worked like sin,
When / got her to the bank were only
jist alive.
I were that sore couldn't tend the funeral,
you see,
They oughtn'tto expect it; but the wild
der o. that fool
She banked right in the traces, and she lays
Bills death to me,
Which she hangs back in her breechin'
an she won't give up that mule!
An yet there's fools that talk, an I've often
q heerd the same,
If we let the wimmin vote how much
honcster we'll be;
But I've had enough o. widders, an know
their little game,
Which they ha'n't no sense O. honor in
business way, ye see.

The editor of the Germantown Tele-
graph has kept cabbages a dozen win
tiers in perfect state, in the following
manner: "Plant or set them up in rows
as they grow-that is with the roots
down-fill in with soil pretty freely, then
make covering by planting two posts
where there is a fence to rest on, or four
where there is not, allowing for pitch
to carry off the water; lay bean poles
opposite the way of the pitch and cover
with corn fodder or straw or boards. In
using through the winter, avoid as much
as possible the sun side and close up
again"

Be Guided by what y)u Know.

There is an old provc,b which says, "E1-
Pcricncc is the safest guide" TO this
guide the sick and ailing naturally turn
when casting about for the means OF relief
They inquire what medicine has done for
others. b,tore they adopt it Themselves
OF nll the remedies ard prcvcn.ives in use,
Hostettr's Stomach Bitters meets the test
most triumphantly, and hence its immense
popularity md vast sales. The sufferer
from indigestion is sure TO find some one
among his friends who has been cured Of
that nilmcnt 6y the famous vegetable
stomachic. The victim of fever and nguc,
liver complaint, constipation, nervous pros
tration, or general debility, has on'y to
he resides in order to discover what this
standard restorative has effected in cnscs
similar to his own. In the published tcs
timony TO its merits he will find volume
OF proofs Of It's sanitary properties. which
1t is impossible for his common sense TO re-
sist. lie tries it. and the effect il produces
Oh his system adds another 10 the host Of
witnesses in its favor. Thus, its rcputa-
Hon, founded on facts, not assertions con
tinually grows and spreads. Chariata IS
and ,mposcrs, some Of them mere local
trickstcrs, and others who take somewhat
wider range, attempt TO thrust into the
hands and down the tn, oats of invalds
their haphazaid concociiunS, rs substitutes
for tn, tonic which for so many years has
been medical staple throughout the Uni
ted States. Spanish America, Canada, and
the West Indies hut only succeed to very
limited extent. In this reasoning nge, the
people, having asccrtaincd what was really
deserving of their confidence, decline
running after strange gods.'

A Gloomy Prospect.

The Wholesale arrests made by the
military in this County have had a
very depressing influence on business
and industrial pursuits generally,
and We presume such will be the CASE
throughout the entire section of the
State embraced in the proclamation
OF the President. Crops remain in
tho fields unharvcsted and on account
of the general feeling Of insecurity,
business is nearly at stand.still,
while large number Of persons have
left the County, rather than incur the
unpleasant and uncertain consequence
of arrest. The future Of our section,
We are free to confess, is now more
gloomy than it has been at any time
s'nce the close of the war. - YorkpiNc
