Augusta, Maine.
Improved Photographs are Unrivalled.

Always have triumphs great been won
While trumphs greater have begun
kIMBALL, all skilful in his art,
In truth our joys can sure impart,
Most hie-hke do our pictures glow.
Best work from kMBALL well we know
And Photographs Improved, make known,
Lovely, the highest art is shown.

Perfect the Rembrant sheds its ray!
He IN good work doth take delight,
Ger all he strives but for the Right,
The Photographs he takes are true,
Our lov'd ones stand before our view
Great are the blessings there displayed
Rightly to please each man and maid,
And his fair Pictures well may claim
Perfect they add unto his fame.
How grace and beauty well we know
Ever CLEAN from his Studio.
Rightly on HI; Saloon we call
And find best work done by KIMBALLt
Cseful, his mission is TO cheer,
Great triumphs from him cen appear
Untold joys come-for kIMBALL may
Surely assert he has great sway.
Then can we claim he long shall reign
And never do his work in vain.

Winter Pastures.

IT is desirable to avoid, us far, rs
possible, IN annual expenditure for
labor in tho management of our lands.
We require certain amount Of for
age for winter. Pulling fodder is
one of the most expensive and least
profitable If the operations OF the
farm. We'll cured fodder is the most
palatnblc forage which can be given
to horses. So is the champagne the
most agreeable Of all artificial fluids
for man. But fodder is too expensive
for the farmers horse, and the
champagne too expensive for tile far.
mcr man. Just think Of n farmer
going into hundred acre field with a
gang Of hands and handling every
separate blade Of every corn stalk
Contrast this with mower cutting
down eight acres Of grass IL day, say
sixteen tons, ralscd up by 81 horse
rake, rendered by horse power, load
cd into the wagon and thence into
barn by a hay-lItcr, untouched by
human hands i'll The whole process.
But there is Il cheaper process than
this. 1t is one which cannot be
adopted at the North, because The
climate will not allow it. This
cheaper plan is to provide winter pas
lures for our mules, horses, colts,
cattle and sheep, thereby enabling
them to NOV and save their own hay
without cost to lis, either III the way
of negroes, mowers, hay stacks or
barns.
The way to obtain good winter
pasture is simple and not expensive.
Take n piece Of wood land, thin out
the worthless timber, leaving rail
trees and mast-bcaring trees. The
exact distance cannot be given, be-
cause trees differ very much i'll the
amount ofshade which they produce
The Kentucky rule is to thin the
timber, SO that the ground shall get
sunlight at least portion Of the day,
otherwise the grass will be sour and
rejected by live stock. The ground
should be well sproutcd; grubbing is
not necessary, though it is best. The
tree trops and brush should be piled
and burned, and the ashes scattered.
Except for appearance, the logs need
not be piled and burned. The ground
should not be plowcd; grass seeds
should .bc sown OH the unbrokcn
ground, and then MI the available
live stock Of the farmer should be
turned i'll upon it, to tramplc in the
seeds. Hogs are excellent Cor this
purpose, feeling them shcllcd corn,
scattering as widely as possible, and
feeding III a different place every day.
The seed sown, should consist Of
orchard, blue, herds and meadow
oat grass, if the latter can be obtain
ed. One bushcl Of this mixture to be
sowed to The acrc-onc half orchard
grass and the other half Of the other
seeds. i'll equal proportions.

To Young La dies.

In marrying make your own match;
do not marry any man to get rid Of
him, or to obligc him, or 10 save him.
The men who would go to dcstruc-
tiop without you, will quite MS likely
60 with you, and perhaps, drag you
along. Do not marry in haste lest
you repont at leisure. Do not marry
for home and living, when by tax
ing care Of health you can be strong
enough to earn your own living. DO
not place yourself habi,ually in the
society of any suitor until you have
decided the question Of marriage;
human wills are weak, and people
often become bcwildcrcd, and do not
know their error until it is too late.
Get away from their influence, settle
your head, and make up your mind
alone. \ promise may be made il, II
moment of sympathy, or ever half
dclirious ccstncy, which must be re.
deemed through years ofsorrov, toll
and pain. DO not rush thoughtlessly,
hastily, into welded life, contrary 10
the counsel OF your best friends. Love
can wait; that which cannot wait is
something of 4 very different char

Evils Of Early Rising.

The attention of medical mon in
this great republic, observes Hawk
eye Burdettc, is called to The injutli-
cious and absolutely hateful habit,
much i'll vogue iii the rural districts
and among early riscrs i'll the city, Of
getting up i'll the night to eat This
nocturnal meal is family disguised
under the name of breakfast, and
thore is no doubt it has much to do
with creating, spreading and sustain
ing the national disease. dyspepsia.
The custom is sometimes visited with
severe judgments, but nothing seems
able to deter its votaries from con
tinuing its practice. We once took
summer boarding with man who
used to cat i'll the night, and reused
up all his household to share the un-
natural meal. One night he stirred
us all up at 4:30 o'clock to eat We
rose and ate. That very day his best
COW inundated herself OH a wire
fence, one Of his horses bit himself
with a rattlcsnakc, reaping machine
ate up his best farm hand, a distant
relative sent his youngest boy drum,
his wife took to writing poetry, and
ono Of his most popular, talented and
handsome boardcrs fitted, leavi ng an
unpaid summers board bill to re
member him hy. The latter circum-
stances rs indclibly impressed upon
our memory; We often think of it in
connection with the somewhat strik-
ing coincidence that We never have
been i'll that country since.

RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY BAsHroRp.- The Citizen sf Jan. Sth contains the an nouncement that Hon. Coles Bashford, Sec retary of Arizon', has resigned his office and & NIT. William Sanborn appointed in his place. We have no knowledge of Mir. San born, or from whence he comes but hope he may initiate his predecessor in the manage ment of the affairs pertaining to his office.
 Gov. Bashford, we understand will make Prescott his future residence. where he will probably engage in the practice of his pro- fession, the law.
 We had intended to extend these remarks but on reflection, have concluded to pass the matter by and next week reproduce from the Citizen historical sketch of his transac- tions in and out of office since his adveat into the Territory in 1863.
 We have been informed by his relatives, that the principal reason for his resignation and change of residence is that his wife's health is not good in Tucson.

Al ADVENTURE WITH AN EAGLE.-As Mir. Poppy Johnson was coming up through Skull Valley, on Tuesday, he fancied he saw a deer thro lgh the bushes, and as he was unobserved he slid noiselessly of his horse, and having no weapons of any kind, concluded to slip up and lass it. Having crept to within thirty or forty feet Of his supposed deer, he discovered that 1t had wings and instead of a deer an enormous eagl, engaged in making a dinner of Jack rabbit. Johnson kept bis eye on the bird, felt down for a rock and fortunately put his hand on just the one be wanted, with this be threw and struck the eagle on the head, which stunned but did not kill him he rolled over and over down the hill and finally began to get up pretty good speed in getting away, hut Johnson was after him swinging his rope, which he managed to throw onto his neck and captured him. He soon recovered his senses and struck his taons so vigorously into Johuson's thigh that he was ob- liged to take hold of them one at a time topull them ont and extricate himself from his firm grasp. He then tied the monster by the feet and wra oped his retta about him so as to confine his wings, and in this condition brought him into camp and donated him to the Nugget Saloon.
