THE FOURTH OF JULY.-This renowned
day which affords Americans first class
opportunity of displaying their patriotism
and evaporating vast amount of accumu-
lated eloquence, generally comes at this sea
son of the year. 1t is very regular in its
appearance, for If it were not we should
never know when to look for it with any
degree of certainty in Cearfield As an
evidence of its regularity it may be noted
that for about ninety-fv years it has not
made failure 1t comes this year, on Tues
day next, and in order to give our typos
chance to celebrate it in a becoming man
ner, no Journal will be issued next week.
INDECENT CoNDUCT-We are informed
that large number of young men and boys,
for several Sundays past have been swim
ming in Mr. Archy Shaw's mill dam, i'm
mediately opposite some houses. On Sun
day aweek no less than 26 visited the local
ity referred TO. Their conduct and language
gu these occasions, upon the appearance of
the women at the doors of the houses, or in
passing along the road, was indecent to the
very lowest degree, such as would not be
INDUCED in by any class, except, perhaps,
the denizens of the filthy slums in the lar
ger cities A repetition of such conduct,
we are assured, will subject the offenders 10
a hearing before Justice Porter, or dose of
shot impeled from an ''old Springfield by

To Young Housekeepers.

Be satisfied to commence on a
small scale. 1t is too common for
young housekeepers to begin where
their mothers ended. Buy all that
is necessary to work skilfully with;
adorn your home with all that will
render it comfortable. Do not look
at richer homes, and 'covet their
costly furniture. If secret dissatis
faction is ready to spring up, go a
step farther and visit the homes OF
the suffering poor; behold dark,
cheerless apartments, insufficient
clothing, and absence of all the COM
forts and refinements of social life,
and then return to your own with 4
joyful spirit. You will then be pre-
pared to meet your husband with Il
grateful heart, and be ready to ap-
preciate the toll and selfdenial
which he has endured in the bust
ness world to surround you with the
delights of home; and you will CO.
operate cheerfully with him in so
arranging your expenses that his
mind will not be constantly harassed
lest his family expenditures may en-
eroach upon public payments.
Be independent; a young house
keeper never needed greater moral
courage than she does now, to resist
the arrogance Of fashion. Do not
let the Smiths or the Browns decide
what you shall have; neither let

The Kitchen Garden.

OF the hundreds of thousands of
farmers in this country, few give
any attention to the kitchen garden
farther than to raise few potatoes,
squashes, beets, peas, little corn,
and some lettuce and cabbage. None
of the small fruits receive any atten-
ton whatever.
Formerly a few currants were per-
mitted to struggle above the grass
yielding the smallest kind of fruit.
but now the worm has put stop to
even this.
We maintain that every man own
ing an acre, or even less, of land
which he cultivates, should grow all
of the eurrants, raspberries, straw
berries, blackberries, gooseberries,
grapes, ounces, apples and pears
which his family can by any possi-
bility consume during the year.
No one is injured by eating good
ripe fruit. 1t serves to keep the
system in healthful condition 1t
assists the organs in digesting other
food. We are persuaded that it
should IND place upon the tabir
at every meal. B tive can't con;in"e
the subject, the very thought OF it
has placed our mouth and appetite
in most aggravating condition.
We want some bread and milk with
baked apples. Give US the country
and country food. The city of New
York is no place for human being
to live in.

Correction at School.

Recently in Toledo school
teacher had occasion to punish Il
scholar for disobedienee. The bov
resented the matter and carried it
home to his father. The latter in
stead OF supporting the teacher-as
he should have done even though
the teacher erred, which was very
unlikely-urged the son to send an
insulting valentine to the teacher
on Valentines Day. The matter
finally, in some way, coming before
a Court of Justice, the father re-
ceived scathing rebuke and was
sent home with .'flea in his ear"
such as will probably sing for some
time. The case is but one among
thousands in which parents adopting
the stories of children without any
investigation into real facts, by act
ing on the dictates OF the moment
do great injustice to themselves,
the teacher, and most of all the
child

Hens.

If your hens have been well cared
for thus far, they will now commence
laying. See to it that they have
warm and comfortable quarters,
plenty of calcined bones, lime, coal
ashes and charcoal. Give them
scraps of refuse meat and abundance
of other food and water, and they
will make proper return therefor.
We are not of the number of those
who have unbounded faith in for
tunes to be derived from this source.
But if they can ever be expected to
make any profitable returns, now is
the time when eggs are so high and
fresh ones so difficult to procure
Try them.
Don't expect thirty or forty hens
to lay in one nest or box. They
may sometimes wait for their turn
like persons at the postoffice or bar
ber's shop; still they find it some
what inconvenient. The fact is,
farmers are too careless about max
ing suitable provision for the comfort
and convenience of their fowls.
They are left to shift for themselves.
Such treatment is very poor econo.
my. The hens seem to get discour-
aged and do as they are done by.
Don't expect everything when you
give simply nothing.
