ICE AND ICE HOUSES.

The chilly winds and frosty mornings
remind us that the period of ice making
is near at hand, and that the time for
outdoor building will soon be over. Ice
is not only luxury, during the summer
months, but it is useful in many instan-
ces, and becomes a necessity in dairy
ing. How to gather and preserve it may
be useful information to some of our
readers. To preserve it. a suitable room
or house must be had. A very conven-
lent, useful and perfect ice-house may
be made after this plan Choose a con-
venient site on a side hill if convenient
to do so then having decided on the
size, from ten to fifteen feet square, if
upon the side hill, dig into the hill on
level with the front side, as far back as
the depth of the building; lay up a
suitable stone wall against the bank and
put the back side sill on the wall. If
the building is on level ground, all the
sills will be upon the ground. Get &C.
dar or other good lasting timber for stills.
A square form is convenient, but oblong
will answer as well. Plan to have the
house divided in the middle, with
smooth floor in the part not used for ice.
Have the building covered with single
roof, with the slant away from the sun,
or toward the north. Make scantling
frame with studding four or five inches
deep let the story on lowest side be
from seven to ten feet high; cover the
outside with such tight covering as is at
hand. ClapbOarding will improve the
appearance, but is not necessity. When
the outside is boarded and one or more
windows, with door, are made, line up
the inside of the studding with three.
fourths inch boards, and fill in between
the boarding with saw dust or spent tar
bark; I'll clear up to the roof all around
and then nail on good boards under the
rafters, and fill the space between the
lining boards and single boards witt
tan or saw dust. This protection vii
keep the inside of the house cool in tn,
summer. Having divided the house in
to two rooms. make the part next tn
back wall, the Ice room, and let it b
filed with ice from the rear through
suitable opening. or from front doc
when the house is on level plat Tn
. front room will be found very convenien
as an almost ice-cool room to keep meat
cream or other articles needing a 10y
temperature. The front room can b
properly ventilated and lighted, bu
should not be too open. The packing {
ice may be in straw or soft wood sa
dust (hard wood saw dust heats an
: melts the ice). Ice when gathere
should be from eight to sixteen inch,
thick, and very sound; it should |

The Farming King.

ne FUTWtftg mug.
The farmer sat in his old arm chair.
Rosy and fair,
Contented there,
katie, | declare
He said to his wife who was knitting near.
We need not fear
The hard times here.
Though the leaf of life is yellow and scar.
Pm the king. and you are the queen
OF the fair scene,
These fields of green
And gold between,
These cattle grazing upon the hill,
Taking their fill.
And sheep so still.
Like many held by single will.
These barnyard fowls are our subjects all;
They heed the call.
And like squall
On fast wings fall.
Whenever we scatter for them the grain.
IT'S not in vain
We live and reign
In this our happy and calm domain.
And whether the day be dim or fine,
In rain and shine,
These lands of nine,
These fields of thine,
In cloudy shade and sunny glow,
Will overflow
With crops that grow,
When gold is high and when it is low.
'Unvexed with shifting of stocks and
shares,
And bulls and bears,
Stripes and cares.
And the affairs
Of speculation in mart and street,
In this retreat,
Sweet peace can meet
With plenty on her rural beat"

A WARNING TO LOVERS "A rather

to resent an imposition even though the
offender be her lover.

An opporanae Ekenfnder and =
Fair NYarmTmg.


A correspondent opporsuneIy says thu
we could not have reas onably expected
anything but the most extreme pariizan
and hostile course by the colored mem
bers Of the present House Of Representa-
tiyez; that they were elected on the
Ames ticket in 1873, which represented
theopposite ofoouservatism aud liberalism
and a. an evidence Of the extent to which
they have carried their doctrine Of hate and
injustice to the whites, our correspondent
cites the fact that at the regular session oi
the Legislature last winter, the negroe:
20 a man voted to give the seat Of Col.
Byrd, the duly elected Representative
from Franklin county, TO a vagaboud Of
their own race WHO had no shadow o.
claim to 1t: Their united vote on thai
question, was cast against an equally
united soiite vote. irrespective Of party;
and the latter combination alone prevent
cd the outrage.
Finally, upon mere technical ground
the election was referred back to the people
of Franklin who had been thus trihed with
and they rebuked the insult by returning
Col. Byrd to the Legislature over the
same pretender who had set up claim
to the seat, by a vote Of six hundred II
two hundred.
The course of these colored Represeta
tives had but one meaning, They en-
deavored to unseat Col Byrd because ht
was white man. They endeavored tt
confer it upon the contestant because h'
was a coIored man. The white mem
bers, Democrats, Conservatives and Re
publicans, so understood it, and they
were brought together in solid array, tt
prevent the Preparation of the wrong.
| It is serious question whether or no
the colored Legislators intend to persist il
the vindictiye and INSCRIPTIONS course
foreshadowed by their action on th'
above occasions, and more especially il
the Warren county affair; and in the
treatment Of the appeals of the taxpayers
at the extra session.
Upon The answer depends the way n
which the next State canvass Is to be
conducted. Meantime, as precautior
and warning to the class against whom
this yindictive and wrongful policy is be
ing directed, We would say; Every man
to his tent, Oh Lroel"
