Mr.. GEORGE FOSTER, who has for
so long and SO ably filled the posi-
,ion of wharfenger at Yesler's wharf,
has purchased an interest in the fur
niture manufacturing firm of Hall &
Paulson. Mr.. Foster will retain his
position as wharfer for the present.
The firm, which has been one of our
leading manufacturing houses here
tofore, will lose nothing by this ad-
dition of capital and business ability
and we may look for increased
activity in teeir shops.

A FAITHFUL HEN MOTHER.-A
pathetic scene occurred at the Divis-
ion street crossing of the Erie Rail
way this morning. An old hen with
large brood Of chickens was cross
ing the track in front of an approach
ing train. The mother got safely
over, but the chickens loiteled behind
until the locomotive was almost upon
them. The mother, with lowering
wings and oper bill, ran upon the
track and began to driye them off one
by one by sheer force. Several Of
them she got clear of the track in this
way, but several Of them ran M the
track instead Of from it. The old hen
followed, trying to save them, but
without avail, and the engine ran in
to th'm all, killing the hen and sew
en- Of her chickens whose life she was
trying to save.-Putcrson Guardian,

The Country gentleman SAYS the
following course is sure to prevent
uapred4 ions Of all animals, aud costs
little, except time !:
"Take, say half bushel Of shelled
seed corn at a time, and having put
it into an ordinary tub or cask, pour
on boiling water enough to cover It.
Pour the whole Immediately into a
basket, which allows the hot water to
drain out from the corn.
Then pour the corn back into the
tub, and stir it we'll with paddle or
fiat stick which has been dipped into
bucket of tar Or a couple of spoon
tuls Of corn can be put on the hot
corn, which is then to DC stirred rap
idly. If we'll and thoroughly stirred
the two spoonfuls Of tar will coat
every kernel Of the seed with thin
varnish. Lime in powder, gypsum,
or even road dust, must then be put
in, and the stirring continued until
each kernel is completely coated with
the dust, and no two kernels will al,
here to each other. The seed can be
spread out on floor ana allowed to
cool when it is ready Tor planting.
IF everything has been properly
done, the corn can be dropped as we'll
az if not so treated, and no bird or
animal will try more than one ker,
mel as food. The seed so prepared
San be safely left exposed to the fowls
and swine, as they will not eat it
After it has lain in the ground few
days, ground squirrels (chipmucks)
will, if very plenty, dig and eat a
kernel occas:only, but not enough to
DO serious damage. After the crows
have tried a stalk or two in different
parts Of the field, they cease their ex
periments and trouble the field no
more. 1t takes corn so prepared two
or three days longer to terminate and
come up, If due care is taken not
to allow the hot water to remain toe
long on the seed, no injury to the ger
minating Of the corn need be appre-
hended. The application of tar to
the seed seems to have no effect in
preventing the attacks Of cutworms ];
but when the wireworm is trouble
some, it is not quite so bad on tarred
seed as on ordinary clean grain

THAT popular pleasure resort, the White
Sulphur Springs, known far and near for its
numerous and marvellous cures, has recently
been purchased by DR.. Parberry, who, we
understand, contemplates fixing the prem
ises up in first-class style. The Doctor has
ample means at his command to fix the pro-
perty up in the most improved shape. He
intends locating there permanently, and
will continue the practice of his profession.
This will be OF great advantage, as those
who visit the Springs for the purpose of be-
ing healed can have the benefit of as good
medical advice as the country affords, which
will be of great service, and ensure a more
speedy and effective cure. Heretofore inva-
valids have had to rely solely upon their
own judgment. We may very reasonably
expect more beneficial results from these
waters when administered with proper skill.
The DR.. has telegraphed for Mrs. F., now
visiting in Missouri, who will start at once
for Montana.

health and strength, with a good education,
thoroughly capable in business, with means
at his command to do business for himself
or able to command an excellent salary
from a number of sources, he steps upon the
threshold of manhood with the most latter

well deserves the popularity he enjoys.
May manhood be as prosperous as youth
has been joyous, and may he step down
from its busy scenes to old age with a char
