W1NTERING BEEs.-The Maine Far
mer gives the experience of a successful
apiarian in wintering bees, which ex-
tends over period of thirty years:
He has wintered bees IN different
ways, including in the cellar, in bee
house, in house lined up inside and
packed with foot thick of sawdust-
but all the above methods have proved
unsatisfactory. Last winter his colonies
we're wintered out of doors on the stand
where the hives remain all the year,
but with protection of straw. First
coarse cloth is spread over the top OF the
hive and then the top of the box fitting
over the hive is filled with straw, and
put on. Then straw to the depth of
two feet is put on top and around the
sides of the box and secured from blow
ing away by boards being placed against
it. The front or east side of the box Il
left uncovered. This affords ample
warmth, but gives free ventilation and
when the straw in the top of the hive
was removed in the spring, it was com
pletely decaycd from the ascending hea
and moisture of the colony. By thu
wintering, he did not lose half pint o
bees through the winter"

A MURDER AT SEA-The investiga-
ton into the attempted murder at sea of
Stephen A. Smith, the colored boatswain
of the Neptune of the Black Ball Line,
was continued before United States Com
missioner Winslow yesterday. Smith,
who was cut in the head in three places
and whose hand was nearly severed by a
blow from a carpenters Ratchet, is in
the Long Island College Hospital. As
Capt. Ferry could not ascertain who were
the assailants he arrested the crew of
twenty-four men. The testimony showed
that Smith had at one time quarrelled
with Dan Horrigan, seaman, and had
struck Sylvester Marks, a negro sailor,
on the head with marlin-spike, and
that the latter had threatened to get even
with the boatswain before they reached
New York. Marks, who is tall West
Indian negro, testified that he was asleep
in his bunk at the time, and said, "As
God is my witness did not cut Smith.
The entrance to the boatswain's room
was near the forecastle where the whit,
sailors staid, and the position of all o
them could be accounted for, except Hor
rigan. They were all suspected of pre-
venting the watch from giving the alarm
and nine of them were held, including

L see paragraph going around telling
of girl who fell out of window while
listening to serenade. This reminds
me of Peter Lambs adventure, down our
way, year or two ago. He was serre-
nading one of the Metcalf girls, and she
was leaning out of the window, with
shutters bowed so that he could not see
her. Lambs little tune contained one
high note, and he struck it suddenly
and with such terrific force that it made
her Jump. She lost her foothold, fell
out, and described half a somersault,
one foot hitting MIR. Lamb squarely in
the face, and the other smashing in the

A MARRIAGE DISCOUNT.

few years since, one of our Boston
divines was called upon to unite jolly
old couple in the bonds of matrimony,
and just as they were pronounced man
and wife. another couple entered the
room, to be joined likewise. The mo-
ment the two latter entered they were
somewhat surprised at seeing the divine
receive the splendid ransom of new
and bright half dollar from the hands of
the newly married bridegroom. Our
eminent divine Immediately thrust tie
money into his pocket, and then congrat-
ulating the happy pair, babe them adieu
and at once comm enced upon his duties
in performing the marriage rite for the
remaining couple. Being pronounced
man and wife, the youthful husband
thrust his hand into his pocket, and
pulled out the same amount, an equally
bright new half dollar, and presented it
to the divine; whereupon the good man
looked with profound astOnishment at
the Insignificant amount, and remarked
MY customary fee on such occasions
is five dollars
You married the last old ugly cou-
ple," said the indignant young bride
groom, ''for fifty cents, and now you dare
to tax me ten times that amount. merely
because we are young couple. The
good divine. placing his glasses several
| inches above his nose, looked the young
man full in the face, and then said:
Il have never married you but THU
once, while | have married the former
man five times and on such occasions
duty demands liberal DISCOUNT on thu
tradew Suffice 1t to say, the remain
ing $3.50 was forth coming. and with
smile, the bride and bridegroom took TIN
nearest way to the door.

Near the classic isle of Lemnos, in the
Greek Archipelago, is the comparatively
unknown island of Agios Strait. The
latter island has lately been ravaged by
locusts, and the local authorities decided
that the pest was the result Of witch
craft. Seven Objectionable old women
were therefore arrested for witchcraft
and thrown into prison. There they re-
manned for several weeks, while the To-
Gusts continued their ravages undlsmayed
by the punishment which had fallen upon
the witches. The authorities having
discovered that mild measures had no in.

TAKING CoLD.-One way is to ''bundle
up in furs, or mufiers, tight about the
neck take brisk walk, 90 into warm
room-church, lecture-room, or concert
sit with your things all on, get warm,
perspire freely. breathe Initiated air for
an hour or two, and when thoroughly
RELAXED, the pores of the skin all open,
go out into the cold, damp air, and you
will soon begin to shiver After having
a chill, send for the doctor, and he will
dose you with something hot; then 60 to
bed; then, if left alone long enough, you
may get up in a day or two. and in a
fortnight Or so you may repeat the impru-
dence. We don't believe in furs, close,
unventilated, over-heated rooms, nor in
stupid carelessness generally.
There are several other ways to take
cold. We will mention but one. and
that is to ''over- eat, Stuff the stomach
with improper food, more than it can di
gest, and you will soon find yourself 'al
clogged up" with a cold. You viii
cough or sneeze, blow your nose, ant
wonder how in the world you took sucl

Frank Mayer, miner, walked into
an abandoned shaft near Chestnut Hills.
Pa, and fell to the bottom, distance
of over one hundred feet When he re-
turned TO consciousness he found himself
encompassed by the carcasses of horses,
cows, pigs and goats that had blundered
into the shaft at various times and the
horrid kissing of snakes that crawled
about him warned him, that although
he had escaped death in his fearful fall.
he was still in danger of a more painful
and lingering death by the slow poison
of venomous reptiles All night he lay
quietly at the bottom of the shaft. The
next morning he made an attempt tc
climb out, but failed. He then sought
to attract the attention of people in the
upper world, but as the shaft was 1O(
yards from the public road it was sever

GREASE HEEL.-Grease heel, or
scratches, is usually caused by want of
care and cleanliness in the grooming of
the horse. If the horses legs and the
stables are kept clean at all times, they
will not be troubled with scratches.
Whenever used in mud or other adhesive
filth, the legs should be washed clean
when the horse is put into the stall for
the night. No manure should be allow
ed to accumulate in the stall. If earth
floors are used, gypsum should be used
freely every day, in order to absorb
odors.
To cure the horse, give him "bran
mash with plenty of oil meal in it.

CONDIMENTS IN POULTRY DIET.-Cay-
enne pepper, mustard or ginger, can with
great benefit, be added to the food of
fowls, to increase their vigor and to
stimulate egg production. This appar-
emily artificial dict will be seen to be
natural, if we remember that wild birds
of the gallinaceous species get access to
very many highly spiced berries and
buds articles that give the '.game fla
vor" to their flesh. The ordinary food
of the domestic fowl is not, indeed, en-
tirely without some such addition, since
there is more or less of an aromatic
principle in wheat, Indian corn, and all
other grains. Nevertheless, it is not sui
fcient in quantity to supply the place o.
the stronger spices, taste for which il
part of fowls inherited constitution

inconvenience.
Cutting, particularly speedy cutting

The official returns from nearly all the
Congressional districts in which elections
were held, recently, have been received.
Making allowance for doubtful cases. in
which it is probable that seats will be
contested, we find that the enthusiastic
declaration of the Democrats. immediate
ly after the election, that they should
have majority of seventy in the next
House, is verified, so far as the elections
already held can have any effect. There
now remain seventeen seats in the Nation
al House to be filled by elections during
the coming year, the effect of which can
have no important bearing on either par.

ate will be twelve, which is considerably
larger than was at first allowed by the
returns as''translated" by the Democrats

FooD FOR PIGs.-We have found that
corn and oats ground together, and a
rich slop made of the mixture, is one of
the best foods that can be given to hogs ;
the corn gives them fat-forming matter,
and the oats giving bulk and bone and
muscle matter. Pigs fed thus have the
highest quality for the table, the flesh
being solid, rich, and juicy and free
from the soft fabbiness which distin.
cuisines the swine raised and slaughtered
near the city.

RoUGH ON THE GIRLs.-In the Govern
ment of Pleskau, in Russia, letter was
circulated which reported that the Gov
eminent intended to send 5000 of the
prettiest girls of the country to Africa to
be married to negroes. There was a
panic and the girls made haste to marry
any one who would have them, and there
was any number of marriages. One
brandy dealer made small fortune out
of it, for at Russian weddings they must
have brandy. Now the authorities have
discovered that this merchant started the
story, and they are not yet done with
him.

Out West report is prevalent that
Brigham Young has taken his departure
from Salt Lake City forever. There have
been so many stories of the escape Of the
Mormon leader that it seems but proper
to accept this one with allowance. A
San Francisco paper has this to say
about the matter: ut is not, indeed. at
all likely that he would attempt to get
away. since he must know that the thing
is impossible. A man who is too i'll to
walk, and who travels with half dozen
carriages full of women, does not try to
escape, as a rule, and if he did there
would be no difficulty in bringing him
back Norris there any particular reason
why he should wish to escape. 1t has
been evident for some time past that he
is near his end. His enemies, as we'll as
his friends, have realized this fact, and
he doubtless knows it himself He
has, consequently, nothing to fear from
the action of earthl y courts, and it is not
probable that any harsh measures would
be adopted with regard to him during the
short remainder of his life
