LAURA BRIGHAM BoYcE.

A Chicago judge has decided that mar

with her husband and enter into partnership
with him, according to the laws of the state.
A Montreal virago was before his honor
charged with being drunk in the street, aud,
just as he was about to pass sentence, she

She got two months more for that.
The fair prima donna of the opera at pal

aud he threw her magnificent boquet, in
which was concealed a small pistol II was

time or labor shall be wasted.
Mr.. Douglass,
of Whiting, then read paper upon Ice
Houses, which we shall present to our read.
ers in due course.
Mr.. Walker, Of Springfield. had tried
straw in place Of saw dust for packing ice
ii did not keep the ice.
MIR. Douglass had also made the same
mistake at first. Wet straw is not non.
conductor. Thinks wheat straw would have
been better than the oat straw, but wouldn't
recommend any kind.
DR.. Cutting had had 10 years experience
in keeping ice, and had tried all kinds Of
straw, and failed with all. Had tried strips
Of board to keep the ice from the saw dust,
but they melted into the Toe and let it down
on to the saw dust Had best success with
only from one to two inches Of saw dust un.
der the ice. Had standing floor with the
floor boards tapped two inches, in the oppo.
site way to the way shingles are Tapped, l..
G. to let the water OF each board run of.
Would never have more than six inches of
saw dust over the ice. IL this saw dust is
not dry on-top, the ice is not keeping well,
aud needs more top ventilation.
Mr.. Douglass; Once packed the ice in
saw dust hut abandoned it on account Of the
saw dust freezing to the ice. 1t is not nee
essary to put saw dust between the cakes.
DR.. Cutting Ii the ice and saw dust are
very cold when put in they will not freeze
together Had his ice house burnt few
years ago in July. Pot over it n temporary
structure, covering the ice with chat. II
kept well for the remainder Of the season.
Mr.. Jameson spoke of neighbor who had
an ice house with four inch double wall he
runs in about four inches of water at time
in winter aud lets it freeze. than runs in
more, time after time, until the house is filed
| ~ W CuNtItu WIN straw, huu tne ice Keeps
well.
Mr., Douglass said the trouble OF getting
out ice from such house would be much
more than the trouble OF filling it with cakes
Sec. Collier closed the meeting with som,
interesting remarks upon the sources OF sup
ply ofplant fool As they are embraced in hi
lecture upon Green Md,nr,ny, which viii
soou be published in full in our columns. W,
will not undertake to report them here.
The meeting was largely attended, and eve
ry waya success. Thefarmersof Westminster
are hearty, whole souled race, and entertain
their visitors in a way that makes them wan
to 60 again. There is no hotel in the villag,
aud apparently no chance for one. Neither
have they any doctors or lawyers. They a'
healthy aud wealthy, aud no one question
their wisdom. Long may they wave.

A. r. Hovev; am not professional sugar
maker and MS am the oldest person pres
emit except Mr. Hurlbert, will give little
account Of how they used to make sugar IN
old times. When was boy, livingat home,
my father. Asa Hovey, and Luther Bonett
went into the woods, and commenced sugar
season by cutting fir trees, and making sap
troughs. These were placed ON the ground
by the side ofthe trees, and when we emp
tied tho sap it was dipped ont partly, and the
remainder poured from the trough. very
awkward and difficult task causing about as
much to 60 on to the ground as we saved
We used nm AK for tapping, and tapping-iron
to make place for the wooden spouts. A
row Of small kettles hung on pole between
large logs, completed the boiling apparatus.
The first modern improvement was wooden
buckets; those small ut the top were first
used, and were very cumbcrous things TO
handle Ten were all n man could carry at
once, and hard work at that. Next they
were made large at the top, which allowed
of their being packed, and greatly facilitated
their transportation. Last of all came tho
tin buckets, and sugar house with improved
boiling apparatus which we all. who re-
member old times, know how to appreciate.
bought the first tin buckets manufactured
in Caledonia County, and never was so
ridiculod in all my life. Some said they
would burst others that they would certain
" rust out in II few years, and be worthless.
bought 100 Of them II years ago, have used
them every year since, and have now 80 in
good condition, one having been broken by
n falling tree. They are very handy to car
ry around; man can go any where with 100;
they occupy so little room. think the ma
pie sugar crop is next to hay in importance
in Vermont, and the number of trees, has in
creased greatly during my remembrance.
When | first came on to my farm, Is years
ago I had only 100 trees fit to tap, now
have 500 on very small piece Of ground.
w. NJ. Hovey: The most important thing
| n making good sugar is to boil the sap inn
mediatcly after it runs, in this way you can
make more aud better sugar.
Mr. Owens: | can remember Of boiling
