Adventure With a velocipede.

There were several velocipedes
standing at one of the freight depots,
the other day, consigned to Hamlin.
Among those who stood around
and admired then, and thought of
the bruises they had received in
former tussels, was one who blush
ingly confessed that be had learned
to ride the critters, and was proud to
believe that he was calculated to
shine on velocipede. He stood
around a while, and then he remov.
ed one from the pile, looked about
to see that none of the authorities
were in sight, and eagerly jumped
on. Perhaps, Owe do not know
positively the shipper had a pre-
sentiment people would NEEDLE with
the goods. At any rate he took
the precaution to cover the seats
with sheep skin, which concealed
within its innocent folds the sharp
points of numerous tacks. But We
will not anticipate. As soon as the
young man mounted the velocipede
he dismounted again and taking bis
hat in one hand and placing the 9TH
er under the tail of his coat, he
shouted "Fire - and disappeared

storytelling sailors who had sailed all
the seas over and knew the most de-
lightful yarns ever spun; of these
Dave BOoden was consummate. His
tales were blood. curdling; and many
is the night when we boys staid so late
listening to the latest version of the
story of his blowing up the Arethusa,
that We were sent supperless to bed.
The Arethusa was B1itisl, sloop-of-
war blockading Casco Bay. Dave, who,
by the way, always spoke of that Pc
Rod as " the time of dimbargO,' was a
prisoner of war on board, having been
captured from q fishing-pinkey and
kept rs pilot. BY hurrahing for
King George and otherwise pretending
to he a good Tory, he gained the con-
tidence of the crew; and one night,
whiless lying at anchor off Diamond
Head, he fixed lighted fuse under
the powder magazine, slipped through
an open portfolio to boat that was
towing astern and 30 made of, pad
ding with his shoes for want OF oars.
"When that ere chip bowed up"
said the Truthful Dave, II was nigh

A Pleasant Haze.

The New Bedford Mercury tells the
following wonderful tale of college
hazing: ct occurred, if We remem.
Der correctly, in 1862. 1t was noticed
Ivy some sophomores that two country
boys had begun their housekeeping in
y room on the ground floor of one Of
the college halls, with q miserable
apology for bed, a carpet, no table,
and only two chairs as the sum total of
their outfit. 1t was learned, also, that
they proposed to board themselves, and
had only few dollars for their food
during the term. On this hint they
acted. O'e night the poor trembling
youths were summoned by 'soph,'
who was not over-courteous, to q room
mp stairs. Upstairs they went, ex-
pecting to be dealt with without
mercy. They were detained there an
hour or so, not being molested. but
only quizzed by one Of tho 's,p,'s' in
the room. Then they were dismissed
To their own room. When thew enter
ed it was over a nice new carpet. There
was tasteful bedstead and its nppnr,
tenances, study table, chairs, a lamp,
bookcase, stove, &c., and in n
closet they found provisions for several
days.

this product, which ia generally wasted

occasion the writer saw one of these
pits opened IN the spring, which had
been filled and covered up the fall

appearance as when gathered, and the
COWS to which it was fed ate it with
avidlty. Salt is generally sprinkled up
on the fodder. and aids in its preserve
ton. 1t would be worth while, when
our root crop is being gathered, to
preserve the tops in this way as al ex-
pertinent. 1t is not probable that
there will be any difficulty on account
of our colder climate in thus preserv-
ing for future use very considerable
amount of winter fodder. The princi-
pal requisites are to puck away the
leaves when dry, to compress them as
closely rs possible, and to cover them
so completely with earth that all access
of mir is prevented. 1t is by the exclu-
sion of air that they are kept from de-
cay.-Amertcdn Agricult,Uist.

Consumption is disease attended
with the formation, generally in the
lungs, Of peculiar deposit called tuber-
Gle, which ends in destroy ing the lung
tissue. The symptoms are cough,
wasting away, loss of strength, and The
result is death. The causes are any of
those that lower the system of the
fowls, although it is possible that,
once established, it may become q
HEREDITARY disease. Poor food, damp
and dark coops, are among these
causes.
1t is not possible to foresee the dis.
ease for even in cases where the fowl
is "ailing," it is possible that other
disturbances arc the cause. And Il
will generally be very undesirable to
attempt to save the life OF those at
tackled by it. The administration of

Salt i'm Food for Animal s.

Many persons suppose that salt is
not really necessary to the health and
of any domestic animals, but
such opinions are. however, erroneous.
The use of common salt in our food,
and in that CT the lower auimals, is not
mere matter of choice, or of taste; it
is a necessary condition of animal ex-
istence. Hence it is q wise provision
that, like that equally indispensable
substance, water, salt is to be found
all over the globe; existing, especially,
in large proportion in the waters of
great oceans as well as on the lani.., in
solid strata of rock salt, and dissolved
in greater or less quantity in the wa
ter of springs.
Near the sea coast or on sea islands,
outdoor stock may find the air inn
pregnated with salt, all sufficient, but
in the interior uplands it is not posi-
bic to keep stock in healthy condi-
ton without sailing.
Instead of handfuls OF fine salt scat
tered hither and yonder in quantities,
and at such intervals of time as may
suit the caprices of keepers, large
Jumps of crude salt should be placed
aOOub VIC AcAu6s AIOu WuACA tu0 oul-
mails may help themselves at will by
licking as instinct teaches them their
system may require for the preserva-
ton OF health. There is good sense,
economy-mayhap, safety in this ar
1angement.
Having at all times access to these
salt ticks the animals will crave but
small quantities, and at intervals, to
satisfy moderate desire, even if the
unyieldin3 nature of these crude Jumps
did not prevent consumption in large
quantities quickly.
Hand-salting, especially where an
attendants negligence may for time
have withheld the needed supply, the
inordinate craving leads to consump,
ton to excess thirst, fever, and i'll
consequences rapidly follow to an ex'
tent to lead some honestly to contend
that salt at all to use with breeding
animals is detrimental.
These crude Jumps of rock salt will
lay a long time in the fields resisting
the action of the atmosphere, and ever
rain, and there is le waste than in
the use CT fine salt, while the animals,
having free access at all times, are moi
apt to consume an over.quantity al
! once
