To PREVENT THE DECAY OF SHINGLES.
The following from the Scientific american is
said to efectually prevent the decay of shin.
giles: Takea potash kettle or large tub, and
put into it one barrel of lye of wood ashes, five
pounds of white vitriol, five pounds Of alum,
and as much salt as will dissolve in the mix
ture. Make the liquor quite warm, and put
as many shingles in it as can be conveniently
wet at once Stir them up with a fork, and
when we'll soaked, take them out and put in
more, renewing the liquor as necessary. Then
lay the shingles in the usual manner.
After they are laid, take the liquor that is
left, put lime enough into it to make white.
wash, and if any coloring is desirable, add
ochre, Spanish brown, lampblack, etc., and
apply to the roof with q brush or an old
broom. This wash may be renewed from
time, to time. Salt and lye are excellent
prcservatives of wood. 1t is we'll known that
leach tubs, troughs, and other articles used in
the manufacture of potash never rot. They
become saturated with the alkali, turn yellow
ish inside, and remain impervious to the
weather.

CURE EoR RuEUMAT1sM.-We find the
following cure for this painful disease in one
of our exchanges: Theeficacy of the appli-
cation would be greatly increased by dipping
a partielly folded towel in the hot liquid and
placing it over the seat of the pain and put
ting two or three thicknesses of flannel over
this. When they are removed the following
morning, the affected part should be bathed
with cold water: "Boil small potful of po-
tatoes, and bathe the part affected with the
water in which the potatoes were boiled, as
hot as can be applied, Immediately before 60
ing to bed. The pain will be removed, or at
least allevated by the next morning. Some
of the most obstinate rheumatic pains have
lately been cured by one application of this
novel and simple remedy"

"Naw," was the monosyllabic answer.
"Never mind; I'll look in afterward."
A second time he made his appearance, put
the interrogatory, and received the same an

same man still busy with his mallet and

"Is Mr.. Boeson in yet?" he interrogated.
"Naw."
"Do you think he will be in soon?''
The answer was conclusive
"Now, aw dinna think he'll be in sum

VALUE OF GEESE AS FARM STOCK.

To the cotton farmer, geese are the most
valuable of all domesticated fowls. len gos-
lings are fully equal to the best hoe.hand in
the cotton patch. They will keep ten acres
of ground perfectly clean of grass, if the
ploughing is properly done The most care
ful hoe-hand will bruise and skin cotton more
or less, but geese will carefully pick all the
grass from the young cotton without injuring
it in the least l am surprised that farmers
do not make more and better use Of them.
They pay for the keeping many times over in
killing grass upon which they fatten are sala-
BILE in market, and luxury upon the table.
a farmer in my neighborhood, who knows
their value, was offering last spring four dol
lars a pair for common geese, to put in his
cotton field.
Since the war, have raised all the geese 1
could, conveniently and, principally, for the
purpose of auorking cotton. And more than
once, when it would have been impossible for
me to have saved my crop with the labor at
my control, they saved it. L find the large
white Bremen not only the most beautiful Of
all the varieties, but the best workers" and
easily raised. would advise every farmer to
have his flock of geese, and pure Bremen, if
he can procure them. They will work his
cotton we'll without watching, and will save
him good deal of tedious work or money.
1t a beautiful sight to see thirty or forty
Bremen geese in field of cotton carrying
their rows almost as regular as hoe.hands
Any farmer who plants twenty or thirty acres
of cotton, will never be without geese after
once testing their value. The greatest objec-
ton to them is that they have not forgotten
that deafening quack with which their ances-
tors saved Rome. Any unusual sight or noise
about the premises, will put the whole flock
to quacking. IL. A. H., In the Plantation.

Thc Mission sunday school AT Rem
ningtSsi

About sixteen years ago + G White and
Misses Anna and Sophia Park, thinking
that the interests of the ncighborhood de-
manded it organized a Mission Sunday
School in what is known as furnace district.
The school was continued here about year
when for want of room, it was moved to the
school house in what is known as Guide
Board district. At the beginning of their
efforts many discouragcmcnts arose but he.
lieving that if they perscvorcd in their eff
forts, the seed which was then being sown
would increase and bring forth much fruit
they continued in their good work. Mr.
White was the first superintendent and the
Misses Park the first teachers. From that
until now it has nine teachers and over one
hundred regular scholars. About five years
ago Mr. White on leaving the state was OBJ
ligcd to resign. and was succeeded by f. a
Cobb the present superintendent. Christ
mas day was happy day for the members
of the school. As has been their custom
for several years Il tree had been prepared
which was loaded with present for both
teachers and scholars, and about two o'clock
in the afternoon the scholars commenced to
arrive, and we think more beautiful sight
was never presented to their eyes than was
the one they then looked upon. 1t was Il
general remark that no Christmas tree ever
prepared in this town surpassed that one.

We perceive from the proceedings of
the Board of Aldermen of the City of Bur
lington on Friday last that there is a stir
about the finances of that city. a briet
,tatcmcnt of the matter as gathered from
the records seems TO be that the Treasurer
of the city made Il statement in regard
to the city liabilities, asking that provision
be made for meeting the interest on the
water debt, due January /, 1878, the sum
of $1,000 in addition to what is already in
the city treasury of $1,000; also for the
pauper department of 81 800 The Board
unanimously adopted a resolution author
izing the Treasurer to borrow on the credit
of the city $1,000 for the payment Of the
interest due, Jan. list.
The resolution was sent to the Mayor for
his approval and on the LIST of December,
he returned the resolution without his APP
proval, with a message stating his objec-
be laid on the table. On Friday last Alder
man Bodgct called up the resolution and it
was passed notwithstanding the objections of
the Mayor, the eight Aldermen present
voting for it. Alderman Rowe AMI Shedd
were absent
The message until now has been refused
the press for publication.
The Mayor states that he finds that the
financial condition of the city in anything
but favorable. He says that heretofore
it has been customary for the several de-
partmenls to confnc themselves to the APP
preparations, but he finds in the street de
partment there has been expended $50, 306,
or about 5000 already expended over and
above the taxes and appropriations.
The financial condition of the water
construction account he finds still worse.
He knows no legal way of supplying the
water department with construction funds
| except by vote of the citizens, in city
meeting, legally warned for that purpose,
and therefore declines by his approval to
authorize the borrowing of money or in
crcasing the cty's Indebtedness.
After giving a detailed financial state
ment of the water department he concludes
his message saying;
"rhc remedy for our present difficulty
seems to me to lie first in suspcnding all
public work at once where the appropria-
ton is exhausted.

The Middchury Cornet Band, gave Il con
cert ON Friday evening last in the school
housc hall in Vcrgcnncs to a good audi
encc. The lovers ofmusic were highly de-
lighted with the band performances, and
some said that the people Of Addison county
would not be compelled to send out OF the
state for band when one was needed. The
exercises were intcrspcrscd with quartcts,
duets, and songs of serious and comic
character, by well known musical artists.
The orchestra led by Mr. q w Powers of

great applause.
