from Boston Of experience in sickness have gone
from the village to attend upon those most
severely injured. The immediate cause Of the ac-

this part OF the state. The stage was very heavily
laden with both passengers and baggage. This is
among the mountains, and has cast gloom over

The Marquette Misisg Journal vouches for the
truth Of the following statement: The remedy
mentioned is very simple one, and, if incffica-
cious, will at least prove harmless: middle
aged lady, the mother of six children, has often
sought relief from pain in the back by taking
saltpetre and brapdy. The lady, having Premon.
itory symptoms of smallpox, begged her husband
to make for her the old preparation Of saltPetre
and brandy. The latter was not then to he had,
but he crushed piece Of nifre as large as q COM
mon white bean. Fhis she took in n teaspoonfhl
of hot water. Feeling some better, the dose was
repeated one ar two times The pain soon subsi-
ded, and she slept quite well during the remain
der Of the night, and awakened feeling perfectly
well. When the Doctor called he was greatly
astonished to see Mrs. .-su superintending the
affairs Of her household. He left without making
any prescription. She had sixty well-detined Pns-
tules in her face, and they were but slightly ill.,
famed and not at all painful. The Developments
Of small -pox her entire person were in number
and appearance with those On her face. In due
time all her children and her husband were sim

results were the same. Several families caught

Z 1t would be well to make some preparations
for the accommodation Of poultry. Many kinds
will soon begin to lay-early fresh eggs will GER
tainly bring the highest price. A close observer
says: Beginners in keeping poultry prone to
suppose that the nest of a setting hen should he
made as hot and dry possible. This is wrong.
A hen. if left 10 herself, seeks a cool, sheltered
place, but on the ground, where it is rather damp
and moist than dry. But in damp houses, where
poultry arc kept in the house, as af the present
ssasOa, the 6oor should be Of gravel, or somo
substitute, such the rubbish FROM an old build
ing, broken bricks, and old mortar.
This flOor should be spread with fresh straw
every morning. That can he raked OF and with
it all the manure made by the fowls. This tends
to keep them healthy by keeping them clean. A
flat box that will hold good quantity of ashes
into which has keen thrown a handful of flour Of
sulphur, should be provided for the fowls wletl,-
er they kept in the house or not. This will
enable them to keep themselves free from lice.
Cleanliness is the great necessity with fowls;
they may be fed ever well, bnt if not afforded
facilities for keeping themselves clean, they will
not thrive. ...f
Regular and moderate feeding is considered
better than leaving them all the food they can
eat, constantly within their reach. Give them
only what they will run after ut regular tiInes
il maxim of the hest poultry breeders, and to
this we add: RecOllect that six fowls well kept,
will afford more satisfaction and better returns
than two dozen shifting for themselves, without
room and with0ut care-MickigaR Farmer.
