A few nights since an attempt was made to rob MT. William Cunkle as he was re- turning from Terryville, with an OK team He was set upon by a man who pretended to be drunk. He first threw his arms around Mir. c. and held him fast for few moments, and then tried to strike him. The latter finally extricated himself, struck the fellow and finally succeeded in tum. bling him into the ditch. He then started on home, where he arrived safely. but with one finger out of joint. He had a considerable amount of money with him, e fact of which his assailant was probably aware.

 Some one in last weeks Winsted Herald calls for biography of the Har- winton correspondent of the Litchfeld Enquirer. Modest indlvual as VIC are, no doubt such work would be moro useful and entertaining reading than is usually found in the Herald, but can't a man choose his own biographer? If not, it were better he were never born at all than to be born in Harwinton. There is one kind of biography .thous h, which the Her. ard correspondent can write and iniure no one but the right one, and that is, auto. biography.

Cir cumstances have occurred since that invi- tation was given which have caused us to postpone the visit of MT. Hill to some fu- ture night, not yet definitely fixed. We will endeavor to select night next time when the moon and the snow will make ride of ten miles delight in itself. Of the coming of Cough on the 23d of Dec. there will be no failure.

large amount Of real estate belonging to

into which the selling value Of the prop

sixty-five shares have already been sold.
This leaves, still to be disposed Of, BE-

Household Hints.

To polish tins, first rub your tins with
a damp cloth; then take dry -four and
rub it on with your hands; and after
ward take an old newspaper and rub the
-four off, and the tins will shine as well
as if half an hour had been spent in rub
bling them with brick.dnst or powder,
which spoils the hands.
The method employed b y professional
workers in hair-curling is as follows :
Wet the hair to be curled, wrap it smooth
ly around a cylindrical stick or tube of
proper size, tie it in place; then put it in
water and boil it two or three hours
remove it from the boiler, wrap it careful
ly in newspaper, and bake it in mod
crate oven for an hour. Thus treated, it
will stay in curl permanently.
The real waste among well-to-do
farmers, the Boston journal of Chemistry
says sis in the throwing away Of house
slops, and in allowing the liquid excre.
ment of animals to be lost. 1t is better
to advise farmers to save every drop Of
the liquids of the house and barn, than
to urge them to pile up huge heaps of in
crt substances to be used as fertilizers. A
heap of dry muck or peat, which in tseli
have no special value, may be used ad.
vantageously to absorb the valuable
liquids of the house and barn, and in this
way a farmer may largely increase his
manurial resources without mourning
great expense,

Each Of the shares will receive at least
a lot valued at $l20, and the probability
Of share of property worth more than
his investment. One in about every fonr
shares will secure lot worth $3l7 or
more. One in every ten shares will re.
ceive property worth 500 or over that
amount, and one in every twenty shares
a lot worth $1,000 or more, while the four
principal prizes range in value from
s., 200 to $4,000. The advertisements
elsewhere published more fully sets forth
the scheme, its advantages, and describes
year with interest at 10 per cent. The
amount is too great to afford all an op-
portnnity to invest, the poor as well as
the rich. and favorite plan is to COM
the property that is offered. All of
is well known in St. Paul, and to be
worth what its estimated value is stated,
even in these hard times. The general
appreciation Of its advantages evinced in
the shares that have been sold is guaran-
tee of the statements which are made by
those that have the project in charge.
The cause to be benefited is one which
commends itself to the people Of the
State and Of St. Paul in particular-the
founding of an industrial school. To &C.
complish this, with no desire otherwise,
the managers have undertaken in this
scheme to turn into money the real es-
tate that rvs largely secured by them
for mere song-almost donated by those
who had the good of the school at heart.
That the project is no more nor less than
plain business transaction is selfeyi
dent. It commends itself to every citi.
zen. Mr.. j. W. Fralick, the agent and
manager, is pushing the sale Of the shares
with his rare energy, and can more fully
set forth the merits of the project than
can be done in brief article of this char.
aster. He may be found at the Savings
Bank Of st. Paul.

Dio Lewis, Recipe for q Bed.

Of the eight pounds which a man eats
and drinks in day it is thought that
not less than five pounds leave his body
through the skin. And Of these five
pounds considerable percentage escapes
during the night while he is in bed. The
larger part Of this is water, but in addi-
ton there is much effete and poisonous
matter. This, being in great part gaseous
in form, permeates every Part Of the bed.
Thus all parts of the bed-mattress
tlankets, as well as sheets-soon become
foul, and need publication. The mattress
needs this renovation quite as much as
the sheets. To allow the sheets to be
used without washing or changing three
or six months would be regarded as bad
housekeeping, but insist, if thin sheet
can absorb enough Of these poisonous ex-
cretions Of the body to make it unfit for
use in few days, thick mattress, which
can absorb and retain thousand times as
much Of the poisonous excretions, needs
to be purified as often certainly as once
in three months. A sheet can be washed.
A mattress cannot be renovated in
his way. Indeed, there is
no other way Of cleaning mattress but
by steaming it or picking it to pieces, and
thus in fragments exposing it to the d.
rect rays of the sun. AS these processes
are scarcely practicable with any of the
ordinary mattresses, am decidedly of
the opinion that the good old-fashioned
straw bed, which can every three months
be exchanged for fresh straw and the tick
washed, is the sweetest and healthiest Of
beds. If, in the winter season, the po-
rousness Of the straw bed makes it little
uncomforta BILE, spread over it comforter
or two wooden blankets, which should be
washed as often as every two weeks.
With this arrangement, if you wash all
the bed covering as often as once in one
or two weeks, you will have a delightful.
healthy bed. Now, if you leave the bed
to air with open windows during the day,
and not make it up for the night before
evening, you will have added greatly to
the sweetness of your rest and in conse-
quence to the tone of your health. /
heartily wish this good change could be
everywhere introduced. Only those who
have thus attended to this important
matter can Judge of its influence on the
general health and spirits.

After.Dinner NapA.

Many persons are in the habit Of sleep
ing Tor half an hour or more Immediately
after dinner. Ten minutes sleep before
dinner is worth more than an hour after.
It refreshes and prepares the system for
vigorous system for vigorous digestion.
If sleep is taken after dinner it should be
in the sitting posture, as the horizontal
position is unfavorable to healthful diges-
ton. Let those who need rest and sleep
during the day take it before dinner in
stead of after, and they will soon find
that they will feel better and that their
digestion will be improved thereby.
