FARM AND GARDEN.

Coon WALKS FOR WINTER.-There
are too many people in all sections who
are in the habit of neglecting matters
and things about the dwellings and out
buildings, which may be called small
comforts. In many cases they are over
looked and are not considered of suffi-
cient importance to deserve attention,
at least any special attention. Among
these there is nothing that adds more,
not merely to the comfort and conven-
ience, but to the health of the family
than good walks about the house and
premises.
We have known these in many in
stances to be utterly neglected. They
are regarded as good enough when the
weather is dry, and when the weather
is wet they can not be made better
And thus year after year the members
of the family are left to wade through
mud to the cow-stables, hog pens, wood
or coal-shed, to the pump or spring
house, to the place of drying the wash,
and so on.
Now, the little labor it would cost to
make hard, dry paths to all these points
is not worth mentioning. About every
place there are stones, ,old mortar, bricks,
etc., which could be laid down in an
excavation of six inches and covered
with coal-ashes. This would last for
dozen years, and would always be dry
in five minutes after rain. Or, in lieu
of this, lay down board walks, which,
if taken up in the spring after the
weather is settled and carefully piled
up, will last from eight to ten years.
To CATCH RATs.-When a house is
infested by rats which refuse to nibble
at toasted cheese and the usual bats, a
few drops of the highly scented oil of
rhodium poured on the bottom of a
cage-trap, will almost invariably attract
it full of the mischievous rodents I"
before morning. We have known this
to be tried with most extraordinary
success. Where trap baited with all
manner of edibles has failed to attract a
SihSAS rat, tle ou vi rnOuluin caused IL
to be completely crowded night after
night, until the house was cleared of
the noisome visitors.
ToADs.-That very innocent and
much-abused animal, the toad, is at
length beginning to be appreciated. 1t
is now becoming to be generally known
that it is one of the best projections the
farmer and gardener can possibly have
against the depredations of insects.
Their claims to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of bugs, are fast being recog-
nized in England, and large numbers
are being exported from France to sup
ply the rapidly increasing demand.

LONDON FooTMEN.-Servant in
great families are most conservative
race. There are few famous pairs of
footmen, as of horses, in London. The
duchess OF Wellington-the great dukes
favorite daughter-in law = has two in
her service, each about six feet two.
Sometime since, gentleman who
thought great deal of his importance,
but whose father had made great for
tue by brick-making, was wearying, "a
rather sarcastic acquaintance at club
with his difficulty in getting match
for his wife's man of figure" 1.-The
other man." he said, ''is too short to
stand beside John .Why don't you
put brick under hims" was the cruel
rejoinder. 1t closed the lamentation.
Men of figure" get very high wages.
1t is very difficult to get them to stay
with you unless you go regularly to
town for the season, and, indeed, this
applies to many other servants. A
gentleman was hiring a man-servant for
a friend in the country. All was salts
factory so far as wages went; presently,
when the negotiation was nearly con-
cluded. John inquired, "Has Mrs. M
a house in town, sir.v "Yes, but
she's not well enough to go up to Lon
don this season." "Then,' very re-
spectfully, I'm afraid, sir, the place
won't suit me" ."-"The London Sea
son" in Lppincotfs.

Once on British soil, they are retailed
at the rate of one dollar and half per
dozen.
CATERPILLARs.-According to Ger
man paper, ants are great foes to cater
pillars, and, indeed, it is true of any
other insect they may be able to mas
ter. 1t is related of farmer, who,
being much troubled with these larvae
among his crops, brought sack full of
ants from the woods, and dumped them
in the field where the worms were at
work, that the next day not caterpil-
lar was to be seen.
SOFT water is always preferable for
the horse. 1t should never be given
freshly drawn if you can avoid it. Hard
water often roughens horses coat and
produces gripping pains. After drawing
the water expose it in the stable or
elsewhere for short time.

WIT AND HUMOR.

"This is the rock of ages" said the
father, after rocking two hours, and the
babe still awake.
"Say, Jones, what's the matter with
your eye:" "Oh, nothin', only my
wife said this morning I'd better get up
and make fire; l told her to make 1t

A California applicant before school
board defined phlebotomy as ''pertain-
ing to the bottom of fea." He has
retired with dignity becoming his
profession.
The misery of being called upon sud-
denly to make speech was got over
by mathematician, who delivered him
self in this fashion: Gentlemen, a
morbid desire for originality prevents
me from saying, This is the proudest
moment of my life,' and it does not oc-
cur to me to say anything else
The Danbury Ne,rs says: This is
opening week for chestnuts. In falling
out of the trees we have noticed that
good boys generally strike on their
heads, while bad boys invariably land
on their feet. The legislature should
look into this matter.
The Titusville Press says: "Titus-
vile was not the birthplace of sthe
father of his country but we have a
man residing here who slipped up on a
muddy crossing this forenoon and sat
down on a roll of butter which he was
carrying home, and, instead of swear
ing, he simply arose, scraped the but
ter off his pants into the paper again,
and went on again is if nothing had
happened"
A plain old clergyman was once ap-
piled to for advice on very important
matter. He was asked which of two
sisters he had better pay his addresses
to. One was very lovely in her dispo-
sition, but not professor of religion.
The other was protesting Christian,
but very ill-tempered. "Marry the
good-tempered one, by all means," said
the clergyman. "The spirits of God
can live where you can't.
An aged and rather rural deacon. of
Danbury, somewhat astonished his
family, on returning from recent visit
to Bridgeport, by disclosing in the re-
cesses of his capacious valise two valu-
able volumes in blue and gold, prize
package containing gold coin, cake of
fig paste, two pictorial papers, and a
package of ice-cream candy. He said
boy on the cars gave him these things.
He confessed that the boy was an
entire stranger, but fervently hoped
Heaven would paint him a skyline
if he ever forgot the kindness
A touching incident is reported from
Chattanooga. An utter stranger called
on respectable farmer, recently, and
asked him if his house had not been
robbed during the war. The farmer re-
piled that it had. "1," said the stran-
ger, twas one of the marauding party
that did it. l took a little locket. :"
"That locket," said the farmer, burst
ing into tears, chad been worn by my
dear, dear child" Here it is,' re-
piled the stranger, visibly affected; 81
am rich; let me make restitution. Here
is $40 for your little son." He gave
the farmer a $50 bill, and received $50
in change. He then wrung the farmers
hand warmly and left. The farmer has
since dried his tears and loaded his
shotgun. The $50 bill was bad.

The Fourth went off here very qui-
etly until the evening. Then things
commenced to be very lively. Two
balloons were set afioat in the air,
much to the amusement Of the excit-
ed Juveniles especially, and the even.
ing shades were made luminous by the
fireworks that closed the events OF
the day. John Chinaman was very
largely patronized in the fire-crackers
that, through a tormenting fear, kept
even the swine from the streets all
day.
The Post Office is now fully in the
hands of Mr.. Fl. Arnold and snugly
put up in DIR. Vests drug store.
The trench for laying the fOunda-

The wheat harvest about Mexico

Mrs. Leister, residing on the

chinery of the harvest-feld, and the
dry weather on the old wagons and
buggies is giving them plenty Of
work to do.

Sulcide.-George Cornell, a citizen
of Melmore, a man in good, comfort
able circumstances committed suicide
yesterday morning by hanging, in his
barn.
Several times in the past few years
he has appeared rather highty or
'1ight-headed," though none OF his
friends paid any particular attention
to the matter. He had no family but
his wife, who has been blind for the
past five years. Yesterday morning,
he went to the barn and crawled up
on the hay NOW, and fastened a rope
to the rafter. A little girl who lived
in the family, watching his move
ments called little boy, a son of
Horace Arnold, Esq, but they were
both toe frightened and too small to
doanything to prevent the catastOphe.
Their outcry brought Emanuel Herbst
to the place, who prang up on
the man, cut him down and carried
him to the house. He lived but a few
minutes, however, afterwards-all ef-
forts to resuscitate him being of no
avail.
He was a man about sixty years of
age and had gained more than a COM
petence by many years of hard labor.
de has no relations in this vicinity,
but his brother in Pennsylvania was
at once telegraphed for.
No reason whatever can be assign
ed for the act.

A Good KstabIlShment.-Few peo-
pie in this county are aware of the
fact that we have one of the largest
furniture ware houses in this part of
the State. At least, as we were not
posted we suppose there are Others
equally ignorant. We knew that H.
F. Fiege & Co. had furniture store,
and also knew that they kept a vari-
ETY. of goods, but we did not know that
they kept so great variety or such a
large stock as we found upon investi-
CATION.
Their mandatory is located on
West Market Street, is a large two
story brick building, supplied with
the best modern machinery, driven
by steam, and in which are employ
ed from fifteen to twenty hands. The
store is large three-stOry brick, on
East Market Street in the rear Of the
Court House, and is kept well stocked
with every variety of furniture, from
the cheapest to the most expensive
On the first floor is displayed gen.
eral variety SO that one gets a pretty
good idea of what the entire stock is
composed Of On the second fiOol
front is a splendid stock of parlor fur
niture, upholstered in damask, rep
hair-eloth, velvet and plush, giving
the most particU ar an opportunity t
please themselves. The third floor i
devoted to storage and finishing pur
poses.
Altogether, it is one OF our impOr

frain from purchasing furniture in tn
larger cities under the false impres
sion that they are getting a bargain
