AS thereis a great deal of rivalry everywhere,
in the Political field, in the social circle, aAd
even In the church, therefor you might expect
it in the business profession. This rivalry IN
business has reached the climax in the stove
trade. - ~ -
Ever since the TIMES COOK took the Geld
Medal fer quick baking it has been attacked by
Jealous rivals, but since it has taken the lead
Of all first.class Cook Stoves in Baltimore and
bids fair to fnally supercede them. It has in
CURED the spite and envy of those whe could
net secure the sale Of it, Sc much so that they
take eur double fre-shield cress piece and un-
screw them and shew buyers sne-half and say
the TIMES COOK hiss very light castings
They also say it will not bake well, draw well,
is not No. iron, &C., &c.
So the emily security for buyers is to csme di-
rect to No. 96 ". Gay street, near Front street,
and see fer themselves if the TIMES COOK
isn't the largest, heaviest, most economical,
and best BAKING STOVE ever made. Every
enc Of the TIMES COOK is guaranteed to bake
perfectly.
The reason can sell them so cheap is that
am connected with the "Quakertown Stove
Works." and we make them ourselves, So you
buy FROM first hands. No two profits at young
Gluck's.
We do say it is the heaviest, largest and the
best working stove ever offered fer sale.
Nearly eight thousand sold.

The Monster Typographical Build
ing of AStO3' Place.

On the corner of Astor and Lafayette Places
stood lately and for many years the spacious
mansion and gardens Of John Jacob Aster; his
gift to his daughter, Mrs. Langdon, and since
his death well known her residence. Last
summer, in passing by, | observed that it was
given up to demolition; making note in the
"Vidi" correspondence of the disappearance of
a social historic landmark, but unable to en-
rich said note with revelation of the new des-
tiny of that large and conspicuous site. Bust
ness of course, but what In the modern bibli
opolc centre of the country; with the Astor
Library opposite one side, and the Mercantile
Library and row of publishers opposite an
other; the Cooper Union on the right; the
magnificent new store of Scrbner, Armstrong
& Co., and the Scribner and ST. Nicholas Month
lies on the left or Broadway side, and Gordon
of old publishing houses around on Broadway,
Ninth street and the Tract Society block; it
was evident of what nature the new movement
of right ought to be, but owners and builders
kept their own counsel.
Inc dusty ruins of the Astor domicile soon
disappeared, and a stately pile with frontage
of two hundred and fifty seven feet struck its
roots of granite two deep stories under ground,
and lifted its massive but graceful iron frame
seven stories above, towering over all the roofs
both far and near, and equivalent, as whole,
to ten first-class buildings of former days.
Passers-by marked with admiration the solidi-
ty and beauty of the structure, which an unu-
sual combination of iron and masonry made
the more striking. The ornate iron front was
SO inlaid and backed in deep and handsome
brickwork, as at once to make a peculiarly
rich and imposing ia cade, and wall impreg-
nable to fire from within or from without. All
floors and interior walls were made on a like
principle, and cemented fire proof and water
proof, air tight and vermin tight. The very
speaking tubes and copy. elevators, ne less than
the steam water, waste and gas pipes. were all
made of heavy iron, at thousands of dollars
above the ordinary cost of those cenveniences,
and none of these pipes were allowed to pass
through the floors, but all were let in and ce-
mented into the walls, or carried up the hoist
we'll. Every floor was made like a cistern, So
that when flooded by the ready hose on every
floor, the water would all few out down the
stairs and hoist wells to the ground, without so
much as dampening any floor below. The
complete property, when some final additions
are made, will have cost over half million Of
dollars.

brought me in:o winter again, for although two
or tafee ieet of snow have wasted during the
two weeks have been here, there are yet be-
tween two and three feet more left. As this is
what fell the beginning of last December, it
thaws very slowly and sleighs will run another
week, which may seem extraordinary to you
Marylanders.
We are waiting patiently to see the ground
and begin planting. | have mangel, carrot,
parsnip turnip and cabbage seed from Land
reth of Philadelphia, to plant in the fields, for
we have fine cellars and shall have some well
bred cattle and a nice flock of sheep to go
through our seven months winter.
Now really it seems very strange that you
fine intellectual Southerners should ever grum-
bic or find fault with anything, seeing the i'm
mense advantage you have over this colder
climate, besides which your soil is naturally
much more fertile.
1t is astonishing how very different customs
are on the same continent, for every kind of
hauling is done with one horse sleighs in win
ter and one horse carts in summer. Even the
gentlemen who drive a pair have one before
the other tandem fashion. We are going to
use wagons, but cannot get them nearer than
Montreal l don't know what kind of sensa-
ton one of your six horse teams with one of
your great wagons would create, but should ex-
dentally dropped down from the moon.
There are some fine looking horses showing
good deal of breed, for thoroughbred stations
imported frem England have been used for
many years. but doubtless full sized Hamble
tonan trotter would produce great improve
ment in the nag species, and heavy Clydes-
dale cart horse would prove great desidera-
tum for agricultural purposes, for there is moth.
ing like having some substance to move heavy
loads and cultivate the land.
Since commencing the above the snow has
continued to descend, and it is about four inch
es on the top of the old accumulation. But
this will be the winding up l hope, for it is
later than usual to have such total obstruc-
ton to agricultural operations.
The natives here tell Shy going few miles
farther north we come into fine hunting
country where in the bush are fine deer and
immense bears, &C. Regular hunting expedi-
items are made in the fall or beginning of win
ter when q great stock of meat and lots of skins
are secured, the first keeping fresh all through
the cold weather and the latter being made in
to overcoats, &c. However, when we have
been here little longer shall be able to give
you further Information from my own ebserva-
tions.

ers' Club a gentleman gave his remedy for
gapes in chickens as follows: "Has tried one

success His remedy is tobacco smoke, which
he blows down the throat of the chicken as it
opens its mouth. This will soon make the
fowls insensble and to all appearances dead,
but after about five minutes they will wake up,
and in an hours time be all right. The smoke

agricultural papers but they do not, and never

But sometimes "sport" will appear, as po-

be planted a new variety may be produced.

COOKED FOOD FOR HOGS.

There is no advantage in cooking corn or
meal for hogs at any time except in the fall
when mash of boiled potatoes and meal
does very well, even to hogs that are being fat
ted but from numerous experiments it appears,
that dry corn will make as much pork as it
will cooked. Hogs that are penned at this sea-

be fed in part on clover, cut and brought fresh
daily to them.

Work AMID WEALTH-AN UNUSUAL SCENE IN
BERKs CoUNTY.-The Reading Eagle correspon-
dent, whe, the other day, was passing the farm
of wealthy Bethel township farmer, whose
broad acres extend almost as far as the eye can
see, had his attention called to woman in the
distance who was following after a span of
spirited horses attached to large harrow. AS
she approached nearer, she was seen to be the
daughter of the owner of the premises, beau
tiful young lady of about nineteen summers,
fully developed, with cheeks "blooming like
the red, red rese." She was cheerfully walk
ing behind the harrow, in the plowed ground,
line in hand, guiding the horses, and when she
came to the fence, "Betawoa!" was uttered
as clearly and distinctly as though she had
never done anything else but drive team
The Eagle representative approached and re-
marked that her work was hard for one of her
sex, when she replied: "Oh, no; cheerfully
do this" She then said that she rose at four
o'clock in the morning, milked ten cows, fed
the pigs, then helped to get breakfast ready,
and by six o'clock went into the damp field to
complete her days work. After few remarks
about the grain fields, the weather, ETC., she
turned her horses and off she went acress the
field, singing as merrily as a meadow lark
She will make a wife worth having.
