SEASONABLE HINTS.

LIVE STocK-" Fattening hogs "
ought to be put up early, and as soon
as they have become used to the change
be pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible. Give them frequent messes of
soft food or bran mashes. Provide
ashes and charcoal or rotten wood, that
they take as much as they choose, and
occasionally give little salt. These
substances promote correct action of
the stomach and bowels Give them
warm and dry sleeping place, and put
muck, leaves or other absorbing ma
terials in their pens. Mich cows" :"
ought to have extra care and feed as
the weather becomes colder Give reg
ular doses of salt, and every nj ght and
morning a mess of meal and middlings.
Roots may be fed, in moderate quanti-
ties, to advantage. Cows ought not to
be exposed to pitiless storms of cold
rain or snow. If warm dry stables are
not provided, then certainly good sheds,
closed to the North and West, ought to
be. "Young cattle" and calves :"
ought also to have shelter during in
clement weather and at night; and be
brought in early from the pastures and
have a good mess of meal and bran
with stalks or hay "Horses should
be cleaned daily, their stalls we'll lit
tered, and fed and watered with regu-
larity. See that their stables are pro-
tected from chilling drafts, but do not
have them too close for proper ventila-
ton
MATERIALS FOR MANURE-MAKING-
Take extra pains at this season to hav-
ing an abundance of litter in your pig
pens, cattle yards and sheep sheds
Also to the gathering up of the dead
leaves, road scraping, turf parings, &c,
which if left to lie are eye-sores during
the Winter Economic the waste from
the dwelling, especially the ashes, and
the chamber slops.
Look at the drainage of the manure
pile, and do not allow the best part to
be leached out by every rain that falls
upon it. Let the slope be towards the
pile. and incorporate with the manure
all the materials we have named and
such others as have fertilizing qualities.
FARM IMPLEMENTS, &c.-Have these
all put away for the Winter. Any that
need to be mended ought to be attended
to- Grease your gears, and give tools
coating of crude petroleum on both
the wood and metal. The wood may
afterwards be painted.
PLANTING FRUIT TREEs.-Now is
the time for this, if preparations have
been made. Be careful in securing
your trees, and especially in eschewing
travelling pedlers.
DRAINs.-See in the grain fields that
water furrows are properly made and
kept clean, that liability to Winter kill
ing may be avoided.
FIRE WooD-Do not let the season
of bad roads find your supplies of this
essential article lacking

"Mr Jehnston's good Judgment has
been shown in feeding sheep largely,
and cattle on much more limited scale.
For many years before he sold large
part of his farm, be fed regularly large
focks of sheep--sometimes as many as

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty scdi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents tho forma-
ton of dandruf, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lastre, and grateful perfume.

 This is ''out of season" for base ball matches, but just Gin. season" for spelling matches, yet see few reports of such entertainments in your paper.
 Last Thursday evening we had spell ing match. The admittance was 10 cents and 76 persons were present-the proceeds going toward the purchase of globes and maps for our select school. The exercises opened with an instrumental piece on the organ by Master Dell Sanford (aged ID, after which several songs prepared for the occasion were sung by the Roxbury Glee Club. Then Mir. Thompson, teacher of our high school and pronouncer for the evening, proceeded to organize the spell ing classes. He chose q lady to head one class and gentleman to head the other; they chose the next, and so on until there were twenty on side. Then the battle began. The third on the right sits down on "useage." Five drop in the first round. Soon there are only four left on the right to contend with sixteen on the left. Further failures leave only Bertle Latnrop, a lad of thirteen, against twelve on the left. He stood his ground like little hero. however, till seven of the twelve had gone down. Then four of the five re- maining spoilers fell in succession, leaving the laurel wreath to Mrs. William Mer- win, the champion of Roxbury, until some better or luckier speller can win her place.
 Another match is appointed for Thurs day evening of this week, at which Hol. lands ''Sevenoaks" is to be the prize of the winner, while the first victim takes 8 spelling book. FUN.

 Your article that MT. Barton of GO- shen,is teaching in the academy at Milton, which is copied into other county papers, is incorrect. MT. George Beach is the teacher, and he has attended school at our Academy for the last two winters.
 All the Sunday school teachers at the Centre were invited to the house of Mir. Edward.

For many days we have been anxious to learn the facts in relation to the death of MT. Lorenzo Wadleigh of Hartford, and now we learn that he was killed at Bolton on the train of which he was conductor. His wife was from Goshen and is a sister of Mr. Alson Sanford of this place and Dr. Sanford of West Cornwall. He was a very fine man, and has many friends here. a.- Fl. N.

The Prescience OF God.

The idea which all men agree in
forming of the Deity implies fore
knowledge. We do not have reference
to the light which revelation throws
upon this subject, but merely to the
notion of the Deity which men form
of themselves. In all countries and
among all classes of men; in the
rude dwellings of the Esquimaux; in
the cheerless huts of the unciviliZed
tribes inhabiting the islands of the
Pacific: in the tent of the vagrant
Arab, as we'll as among those who are
refined by the arts and enlightened by
science, we find the notion of God.
The conception may be a feeble and
imperfect one, compared with that de-
veloped by the Scriptures; but it al
ways includes the idea of prescience or
foresight in much higher degree than
is possessed by man. The very
heathen would scoff at the idea of a
God whose knowledge is limited to the
present moment. The Divine pres
cience is distinctly made known in a
multitude of passages of Scripture.
lie OupIeIut DcluS IlIuScli, III tle
language ascribed to him by the
prophet jeremiah, asserts: III am God,
and there is none like me, declaring
the end from the beginning and from
ancient time the things that are not
yet DONE" "Known unto God" says
the Apostle James, "are all his works
from the beginning of the world"
Nor does the doctrine of Gods fore
knowledge rest upon general state
ments alone; but we have instances,
again and again, ofpredictions uttered
long before the events came to pass
which were strictly fulfilled. The del
uge was predicted one hundred and
twenty years before it came on the
face of the earth. The destruction of
Babylon and of Ninevah, with many
of the attendant circumstances, was
predicted also. The coming and the
preaching of Jesus Christ, and partic-
ularly his humiliation, trials and
death, were foretold many years, and
even ages, before the events themselves
took place. Uphdnl.

To the Public.

EDITOR HERALD: At the last regu-
lar meeting of the Common Council,
when the question of the publication
in Spanish came up, Mr.. Teed stated
that La Cronica took advantage of its
being the only Spanish paper here and
charged three times as much as the
English paper. This statement is not
true. La Cronica has lost money by
its contract with the city, which is for
the same amount paid the HERALD.
I have stood it like little man, not
in order to favor the Council, but so as
to accommodate our Spanish popula-
tion. The price of 25 cents per folio
for translations is the lowestever paid
in this city.
My object in making this simple
stat ment of the truth is to prevent
he people from imagining that its
discontinuance would reduce taxation.
Yours truly, E. F. TEoDoLI.
