WHERE JOHN O. ADAMS DIED.

When John Quincy Adams, then q
representative from Massachusetts, fell
at his desk in the Capitol, he was car
ried into what was then the Speakers
room, where he breathed his last. A
marble bust of him was purchased by
Congress and placed in the room; but
when the new hall of the House was
finished, and the Speaker removed into
his new apartment, the bust was carried
there, with the portraits Of the ex-Speak-
ers. The old hall has since been dedi-
Gated to the reception of statues of our
prominent men, two from each State,
and the old room of the Speaker is now
occupied by the House Committee of
Banking and Currency, of which the
Hon. Samuel Hooper is chairman. Mr..
Hooper, thinking that the spot where
John Quincy Adams died should be ap-
propriately marked, has had the bust of
the sold man eloquent brought back
and placed ON the spot where he gave up
the ghost, with the following inscrip-
ton: "John Quincy Adams, after
fifty years of public service, sixteen in
yonder hall, was summoned thence to
die in this room, 22d February, 1S4S."

RAPID DREdMINE.

A very remarkable circumstance, and
an important point in analogy, is said
by DR.. Forbes Winslow to be found in
the extreme rapidity with which the
mental operations are formed, or rather
with which the material changes, ON
which the ideas depend, are excited in
the hemispherical ganglia. 1t would
appear as if a whole series of acts, that
would really occupy long lapse of
time, pass ideally through the mind in
one instant. We have, in dreams, no
perception of the lapse of time, a strange
property of mind ; for if such be also its
property when entered into the eternal
disembodied state, time will appear to
us eternity. The relations of space as
well as of time are also annihilated so
that while almost an eternity is COM
pressed into a moment, infinite space is
traversed more swiftly than by real
thought. There are numerous illustra-
tions of this principle on record. A
gentleman dreamed that he had enlisted
as soldier, joined his regiment, desert
ed, was apprehended, carried back, tried,
condemned to be shot, and at last led
out for execution. After the usual
preparations a gun was fired he then
awoke with the report, and found that a
noise is the adjoining room, at the same
moment, produced the dream and
awakened him. A friend of DIR. Aber,
crombie dreamed that he had crossed
the Atlantic and spent fortnight in
America. In embarking, on his return,
he fell into the sea, and awakened tc
find that he had not been asleep ten
minutes.

THE CANhER- WORM.

The wingless female moth that lays
the eggs of the canker-worm must
ascend the tree by climbing up the
trunk. All the methods of prevention
oppose some obstacle to her ascent, OF
catch her in the act of climbing. One
great difficulty with these preventives is
that they are not put upon the tree early
enough. 1t has been found that the in
sects ascend very early, even during the
warm spells that we often have in Feb
ruary, and that the only safety in sections
where they are abundant is to keep the
protecting material always ready. Tar
has been used, but the following, from
our correspondent Bay State, is much
better He writes
Having had some twenty years ex-
perience with the canker- worm, and dur
ing that time having either tried or wit
messed the results of the experiments Of
others, with all the various methods,
patented and otherwise, to prevent the
female from ascending the trees, l feel
the right thing has been hit upon at
last. 1t consists simply of bands of
sheathing- paper, 6 or 8 inches wide,
tackled around the trees (same as for the
old tar process) and an application of
refuse printers ink. The ink is now
manufactured for the purpose and costs
12a cents per pound. This remedy has
been used in Massachusetts three years,
and gives general satisfaction. Two to
four applications a year are sufficient,
and an orchard averaging from four to
twelve-inch trees can be protected for an
annual sum of ten cents per tree. AS
some evidently know but little of the
persistency of the canker-worm, Thought
the above item might be useful. >

GOSPEL GAMBLING.

The expulsion of the Rev. William G.
Clark from the New York Conference OF
the Methodist Protestant Church indi
Gates healthier moral feeling in that
part of the Christian public. Themove
ment against religious games of chance
should not end here. The rafting off Of
silver-plated tin trumpets, the sale OF
kisses at fifty cents apiece, and all Other
questionable methods of raising funds
for gospel purposes should be sternly
rebuked and discountenanced. y
1t is inconsistent to preach against
vanity and pride when those very weak
nesses are worked upon to obtain con.
tributions from reluctant church mem
beers. Let the ministry stand on the in
trinsic value of their goods and they
will find plenty of buyers. The New
Testament doesn't look well when
offered for sale in prize package.

The Science of Health has some SEN
sible suggestions on this topic, which
are appropriate here
Houses should be built on upland
ground, with exposure to sunlight on
every side. During epidemics, it has
been noticed by physicians that deaths
occur more frequently on the shaded
side of the street than on the sunny
side; and in hospitals physicians have
testified to the readiness with which
diseases have yielded to treatment in
sunny rooms, while in shaded rooms
they have proved intractable.
Let there be no boys, no marshes, no
stagnant water in the neighborhood.
Then let the cellars be thoroughly
drained. Inattention to this subject
has caused the death of many person.
No father or mother should rest one
moment IN peace while their innocent
babes are sleeping in rooms over damp
and moldy cellars. Cellars should not
only be drained, but thoroughly ven
tllated, otherwise the house must be
unwholesome.
Let the drains also be constructed for
the conduction of slops and sew erage of
all kinds to a common reservoir. at n
distance from the dwelling, to be used
for fertilizing purposes.

Ec0nOmiying Food.

Much depends upon the warmth and
comfortable accommodations of animals
in this respect. 1t is the food that pro-
duces animal heat, or rather that tends
to keep it up and the farmer can econo-
mize that food, and make one-half of it
go about as far as the whole would, by
keeping his stock in warm, comfortable
winter quarters. The cold winds pene-
trate through every crevice in barn.
No matter how small that crevice, the
cold will find its way through. If you
would economic your food, look thor
oughly to the warmth and condition of
your barns and stables for herein lies
the great secret of success i'll saving
food. "Stop ont the cold, and you can
keep more stock upon the same amount
of food" is the verdict of the past and
present age.

The Judgment of the Public.

Doctors disagree. Each school of medicine has
its own theories, and these theories differ
widely it is clear that few, if any of them, be
right But if medical men cannot agree upon any
theory system of practice, the public find nc
difficulty in agreeing rs to notorious matters OF
fact. For instance, they have observed for many
years that HostetteIs Stomach Bittcrs uniformly
cure d. dyspepsia, cons ipatou rheumatism, bilious
ness, nervous debility, and many other diseases
which the prescriptions of the pharmacopHia do
not and cannot cure and they know therefore that
there can be no mistake about it, on this point
they are firm and positive They take their stand
on iucontroyertible facts, and they state to one
another verbally, and sometimes by letter, what
they know about relieving and preventing sick
ness with the standard vegetable tonic and altera-
tive Of America.
Here, then, the invalid has guarantee of value
that can be relied upon, viz. the sober judgment
of the public. After twenty years Of observation
and reelection, the American people pronounce
Hostettcr's BittCrs the best MIGRATING and regu-
lating medicine at their command, and give evil
dence of Toe faith that is in them by purchasing
more of it than of any other advertised medi cine
manufactured on this continent. large number
of phi ysicians, too, however much they may differ
on other points in therapeutics, admit the extra
ordinary merits of the Bitters tonic and alter
alive, and recommend it AS preventive of mala-
rious diseases, and remedy in intermittent
and remittent fevers.

now TO FEED HORSES.

The following concise suggestions with
regard to the food of horses are from
the London Horse Book:
All horses must not be fed in the same
proportions, without regard to their
ages, their constitutions and their work ;
the improperly of such practice is
self-evident.
Never use bad hay on account of its
cheapness, because there is no proper
no,lrishment in it. I'd
Damagedconis exceedingly injurious,
because it brings on inflammation of the
bowels and skin diseases.
Chaff is better for old horses than hay,
because they can chew and digest it bet
ter.
Mix chaff with corn and beans, and do
not give the latter alone, because it
makes the horse chew his food more and
digest it better
Hay or grass alone will not support a
horse under hard work, because there is
no sufficient nutritive body in either.
When horse is worked hard its food
should be chiefly oats,-if not worked
hard its food should be chiefly hay
because oats supply more nourishment
and fesh-making material than other
kind Of food hay not so much.
For saddle or coach horse, half peck
of sound oats and eighteen pounds of
good hay are sufficient. If the hay is
not good, add quarter of a peck more
oats. A horse which works harder may
have rather more of each one that works
little should have less.
Rack feeding is wasteful. The better
plan is to feed with chopped hay from q
Manager, because the food is not then
thrown about, and is more easily chewed
and digested.
Sprinkle the hay with water that has
salt dissolved in it, because it is pleasing
to the animals taste, and more easily di-
gested. A teaspoonful of salt in bucket
of water is sufficient.
Oats should be bruised for an old
horse, but not for ayoung one, because the
former, through age and defective teeth,
cannot chew them properly. The young
horse can do so, and they are thus prop
erly mixed with saliva, and turned into
wholesome nutriment.

The most remarkable trial and con-
demnation of prisoners ever known in
the world lately took place in Russia.
About year ago it became known to
the Government that large quantities of
counterfeit money were in circulation,
and that it was being passed off for
genuine IN every part of the empire.
After each of the great fairs which are
annually held for the sale of goods, the
merchants and peasants returned to
their homes with any amount of worth
less money. As fast as it could be
proven that any individual was impli-
Gated in this business he was arrested
put in confinement and treated with the
knout till he would reveal the names of
his accomplices. In this way over five
hundred persons were arrested in diff
ferent parts of Russia, brought to Mos
COW i'll chains and placed in dungeons
under the Kremlin. The list included
mobiles, peasants, high-born ladies, bar
lots, merchants, brokers, small traders
and peddlers. Among the number were
four Frenchmen, and quite number Of
talented engravers. On the 18th Of
November they were brought up in pairs
into the great hall OF Kremlin, one of
the largest rooted Enclosures in the
world, to receive judgment The trial
was brief. and the sentence severe; such
is the course of justice in Russia Six
of the accused were sentenced to death :
ninety-fonr were sent to the gold mines
of Ural for life; sixty We're sent to like
captivity for twenty years while fifty
two We're sentenced to four years i'll
generation in Russian prisons. One
hundred and sixty of these We're like
| wise sentenced to be branded with q
mark which denotes that the wearer is
an irreclaimable felon and an avowed
enemy OF human society. When this
sentence was proclaimed wild and fran
tic cries and yells rose from the prison
ers. They ratified their chains and
called on God to help them. Some fell
upon the floor, while others leaped from
frenzy. AS the Judge and Sherifls
could not preserve order, detachment
of Cossacks, armed with heavy thongs,
were ordered in to force silence.

AGRICULTURAL.

We have lately talked with an extern
sive stock raiser, who related his expe-
rience in fattening sheep by allowing
them to follow cattle. The present is
the second winter in which it has been
tried, and in both instances the result
was all that could be desired. One year
ago the sheep (wethers) were handled
very much the same way as hogs, that
is, two feed lots were used, and the
sheep were turned into the one where
the cattle had been fed on shock corn
the day previous. The day following
the cattle were again fed in lot No. l.,
and the sheep turned into No. 2. By
spring the sheep were then in good
order and ready for market, and, in the
opinion of our informant, paid as well
or better than hogs when similarly fed
The present winter his cattle were
turned into field of standing corn,
about forty acres, and kept there until
the field was apparently cleared of grain,
when they were removed, and three hun
bred sheep turned in. This was about
the middle of December, and the sheep
are still thriving, and bid fair to be
ready for market before the close of
winter
When cattle are highly fed, as is well
known, they leave large amount of
corn on the ground and some fodder on
the stocks, and during as dry seasons as
the last two winters have been, there
seems to be no reason why sheep cannot
be employed as cleaners of the feed lot.
OF course economy would suggest that
stock hogs be allowed access to the lots
after the sheep had eaten all they would,
us the latter would leave untouched the
undigested grain in the drippings from
the cattle.
We have repeatedly turned flock of
sheep into standing corn, and when
once on full feed, and in dry weather,
they will do very well. The only draw
back is that thaw comes on, and "the
bottom drops out" as the saying is in
Central Illinois, sometimes when it is
inconvenient to change stock to better
quarters With this exception the
method is worthy of trial in times like
the present, when labor is pretty high
and corn is distressingly cheap Vest
