Utility of the Game Laws.

The rapid increase of birds in the vi- cinity of every house is one of the most striking facts observed by residents in the country. The Norristown (Pa.) Free Press remarks:
 "One of the first things that strikes the visitor to the country is the vast numbers of birds of various species that inhabit the groves and build their nests in orchards and trees in the imme- diate vicinity of farm-houses and other residences. Some years since it was rare thing to see a bird of any kind within the borough limits, there being constant warfare waged upon them by the sportsmen, and the robbing of their nests and the destruction of their young by mischievous boys but the protec- tion afforded them by the game law has encouraged them to build their nests and thrive and multiply in our yards and gardens, which are made musical by the hosts of birds that visit them daily. Robbins, blackbirds, orioles and bluebirds, are regular squatters in the midst of the din and noise of busy town, and the sparrows have increased so rapidly that all fear as to their per- manent naturalization seems at an end"

How to Drive a Horse.

Young man, I see you are about to
 take drive, this morning, and will of.
 fer you some advice. Your horse is
 restive and wants to be off before you
 are ready; you may as well break him
 ot this now as at any other time, and
 hereafter you will find it has been a
 half hour well spent.
 Just give me the reins, while you put
 your foot on the step, as if to get Tn
 the horse makes move to go tight
 en the reins and say whoa Now put
 your foot on the step again the horse
 makes another move hold the reins
 and speak to him again. The horse is
 getting excited. Pat him g. little on the neck, and talk to him soothingly.
 Put your foot on the step again, and re- peat this process until the horse will stand still for you to get in, and adjust yourself In your seat, and tell him to go. A few such lessons will train him so that he will always wait for your or der before starting.
 Now as your horse has just been fed. drive him at very gentle pace for the first two or three miles, until he warns up and his body becomes lighter. But, before you start, let me show you how to hold the reins. Take them in your left hand, have them of equal length from the bit, and to cross each other in your hand, the off side one resting on your first finger, the other on the fourth finger, the back of the hand upward. Now in guiding the horse, you have only to use the wrist joint, which will direct him either right or left, as you wish. Keep your hand steady, with gentle pressure on the bit-no jerking or switching on the reins. If more speed is wanted, take the whip in your right hand, to be gently used for that purpose, be careful not to apply it any harder than is necessary to bring him up to the required speed. Speak to him soothingly, and intimate in the most gentle manner, what you want him to do, and he will try to do it. So noble an animal should not be handled rough ly, nor over-driven. When you return, have the harness removed at once, and the horse rubbed down with a wisp of straw or hay, and let him cool off before being watered or fed Every one who handles horse, or has anything to do with one, should, in the first place, cul- tlvate his acquaintance let him know that you are his friend, and prove it to him by your kind treatment he needs this to inspire confidence, and when that is gained, he is your humble ser want. If your horse gets frightened at any unusual sight or noise, do not whip him, for if you do, he will connect the whipping with the object that alarmed him, and be afraid of it ever after. If he merely shies at an object, give him time to examine it, which, with some words from the driver will persuade him to pass it. You get too, sometimes, and would 1ot like to get whipped for it.-Stock Journal.

Cholera !

This terrible scourge is threatening this country again. This fact is well calculated to impress our readers with the necessity and the advantage of life insurance, and will greatly increase, as the war did, the number of persons seeking insurance. It is good time now for any one fitted therefor, to se- cure the agency of frst-class company. The National Life Insurance of the United States of America, chartered by Congress, with capital of one million dollars, and charges for insurance only about three-fourths those of mutual in- stitutions, is a company of which any agent or policy-holder may well be proud, and we cheerfully advise all per sons looking for insurance or for em- ployment to address that company at its Branch Office in Philadelphia.

Slightly Mixed.

Our neighbor Church was married four times. and his wives were all buried in a certain graveyard It be- came necessary, ultimately, to remove the remains of the dear departed to another cemetery. Church undertook tho work himself but in carrying the salnted dead out in furniture cart, the bones unfortunately got mixed, and when re-interment began even Church himself was unable to tell which was Emily and which was Hannah. After doing the best he could, he had the four graves closed but, being strictly accurate man, he felt that it would be wrong to use the old headstones when he was not by any means certain that Hannah's dust was all under her tomb stone. So, in order to be precise, he had new set made with such inscrip- tions as these: "Here lies Hannah Church, (and probably part of Emily who was born," &c., &c. "Sacred to the memory of Mary Church, (who seems to be mixed with Matilda who was born," &c., &c.
 Stranger. pause and drop tear,
 For Emily Church lies buried here,
 Mingled, in some perplexing manner,
 With Mary, Matilda, and probably Hannah"
 All the wives seemed satisfied with this arrangement; but some of Chrrch's mothers-in-law consider that his sense of responsibility as a man of veracity is altogether too fine.

A Floating Cannon Ball.

In the pavilion of the Ministry of Agriculture, at Vienna, afoating cannon ball may be seen. Although weighing fifty pounds, it lies like 8 down feather on a silvery mass, consisting of pure quicksilver from the celebrated mines of Idria; 150 cwt. of this metal is ex- hibited in large iron cauldron, offering a sight seldom to be met with, and on it rests the solid iron ball. It was inter- estlng to observe the emptying of the quicksilver into its receptacle. The metal is very cleverly slowed away in bags of white sheep leather, specially prepared for the purpose, each contain ing fifty pounds of the mass, the bags being tightly bound round the top, and then put into small wooden barrels, carefully bunged up. Formerly, this liquid metal, which penetrates easily all porous substances, was transmitted in wrought iron bottles of very expensive make.

Dr. J. walkers California Vin- egar BitterS are purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the na- tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor- nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, "What is the cause of the unparalleled success of VINEGAR BIT TERs?" Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient re- covers his health. They arc the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before ill the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of VINEGAR BITTERs in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as we'll as 0 Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases.
 The properties of DR. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretie, Sedative, Counter -Irritant, Suderific, Altera- tive, and Anti Bilious.

In their treatment, a purgatfNe, eXerting 8 pow erfuf influence upon these various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to DR. J. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERS, as they will speedily remove the dark colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs.
 FOrtify the body against disease by purifying all it's fluids with VINEGAR BITTERs. No epidemic can take hold of 8 system thus fore-armed.
 Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita- tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid neys, and hundred other painful symp- toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of it's merits than lengthy advertise ment.
