GROUND Bones FOR PouLrRY.-The editor
of the Canadian Poultry Chronicle, in sn ex-
cellent article on rearing and feeding chick
ems, after enforcing the necessity of scrupu-
lous cleanliness, feeding well, often, and not
more at one time than will all be picked up,
and using by preference as the stable feed
coarse oatmeal moistened with milk, and the
occasional mixture of rice or other grains
for the sake of variety-thus alludes to the
efficacy of ground bone:
"Mr. Wright recommends in addition to
the above, the use of ground bones, or bone
dust. The latter substance, he says, has
many advantages, and after many years. ex-
perience we can affirm without hesitation that
there is marked difference both in the size
and stamina of birds reared with it over 9TH
ers 1t adds to the size of birds: it posspones
their maturity or setting as poultry men
call it. after which growth nearly ceases; it
greatly prevents leg weakness in cockerels,
and il tends to produce full and profuse fea:h-
ering, and to assist in Hedging. Burnt bones
or phosphate of lime, have not the same ef-
feet by shy means, and raw bones crushed
have the fault of inducing early laying in the
pullets, whereas the bone dust rather post
PONIES it. The proportion should be about a
teaspoonfull to every half pint of meal, and
be given thus from the time the chickens are

A DISTRESSING CoNUNDRUM.--The New Or

debater in village society who propounded
this abstruse conundrum
"Ef'r man plants watermillion seed next
to his fence and this ere watermillion seed
sprouts up into a watermillion vine; and that
ere watermilion vine grows, and meanders
through that ERE fence into another mans
lot. adjacent: and in that other mans lot, so
adjacent, that ERE watermillion vine that
sprouted from that ere watermilion seed and
meandered thro' that ar fence into this ere
other mans lot adjacent; tharin consoldates
homologates into a watermillion, the ques-
ton. Teller citizens aud ladies, is: To which
of these ere men did that ar watermillion,
so homologated and promulgated, belong p
to the man who planted that ERE watermil
lion seed that meandered thro' that 'ar fence
into this ere mans lot adjacent and thar so
consolidated into watermillion or to the
man VITO owned this ere lot so adjacent,

The FIRST TIME.-A clergyman in South
ern Arkansas had occasion recently to cireu-
late subscription paper to obtain funds to
shingle the church edifce. Among others,
he called on Mr.. N, merchant of the place,
liberal man where the object was praise
worthy, who subscribed five dollars. Soon
afterward the clergyman called for the money
but Mr.. N, having had occasion to pay out
all his funds that day, was short, and asked
the parson to call again. This did not &C.
cord with the clerical wishes so casting the
clerical eyes around the store they fell upon q

The San Jose Mercury says: n remarka-
bic case, either of mistaken identity and fraud,
or wiliful or constrained perverseness, recent
" occurred, and still exists, in this county,
which is deserving of something more than a
passing notice There resides with his moth
err in Santa Clara, Charles w. Sykes, a young
man of good reputation, worthy and honest,
but of humble circumstances in life. There
also resides in the same town, with her par
ents, Miss Hattie Burnett, granddaughter
of Governor Burnett, an estimable young la
DIV of eighteen, of fine accomplishments and
unsulled character. These young people, it
is asserted, formed an attachment for each
other, against the wishes of the girls parents,
who sought by various means to break the
intimacy between them. Young Sykes was
positively forbidden to see or speak to the
girl. But everybody knows, who has arriv-
ed at maturity, what such forbiddings amount
to. Of course he met her clandestinely-at
least it is so positively stated by those who
casually surprised them in their stolen inter-
views This state of affairs existed for sever
al months, until the 4th of September last,
when Mr.. Sykes, accompanied by a young
lady who gave her name as Hattie Burnett,
called at the law Office of G. G. Stephens, of
this city-an acquaintance of both parties
and stated as their object in calling the in
tentiop of being united in marriage. The la
DIV remained in conversation with Mr.. Ste
phens who by the way asserts that he has
known Miss Burnett from infancy, and could
not be deceived in her identity-while Sykes
went to the Clerk Office for license He
soon returned with this needed instrument,
Justice Stewart was called in, and the parties
were duly married. They returned to Santa
Clara, remained throughout the day at the
young mans home, and then the lady went
to her own home.
Now comes in the mystery, romance or
what-yos ay-call-it, of the whole affair; the
fact of the marriage leaked out-for Sykes
made no secret of it-and soon reached the
ears of the girls parents. They asked her if
it was true. She said no, and seemed great
" surprised at the intimation. Sykes claim
ed that she was his wife; and the girl was
brought to confront him in the presence of
Mr.. Stephens. Here she denied everything
relating to the alleged marriage-had only
known Sykes as passing acquaintance
never intended to marry him-the whole
thing was a frand-some woman bearing a
resemblance to her had been procured to per-
senate her, etc. And in this she firmly per-
sists at the present time. The parents believe
the girl-the public, mostly, sympathize
with Sykes. Some think her fears have been
wrought upon until she dare not own the
truth. Others don't know what to think
1t is certainly a queer case. The parents
and parties are most worthy people.
