THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND THEIR
SCHOOLS :

We are indebted to Belgian contempo
rary for the following we'll timed consider
ations and statistics on the Christian
Brothers:
'The admirable phalanx of the disciples
| OF the venerable de la Sale is spread and
| appreciated throughout the entire world
The more bitterly these humble brothers
OF the people are illuminated and hated by
| the enemies of religion and of society, the
more firmly does their order appear to
take root and to extend it's branches, like
those healthy trees which the violence of
storm and tempest only renders stronger.

On the arrival of the express train
from the East Yesterday morning, a
gentleman, whose wife-a lady Of fine
appearance--had rturned by it,
sprang upon the platform of the sleep
ing-car in which she had Travelled, and
met her at the doorway. In a second
she was gathered to his bosom, and he
hugged her and kissed her, smoo,hed
down her hair, patled her ON the back,
kissed her more and more, backed of
to arms length, inspected her critical

time oblivious of the presence Of a

IL is best to prepare the dressing jus,
before the salad is to be eaten. Take
the yolks Of eight hard-boiIed egg
and mash them to paste; add a small
teaspoonful Of salt; the same of cay

vinegar, and rather more than two
wine-glasses Of sweet oil. Mix all
these ingredients until they are quite
smooth, then pour il over the chicken.
FATTEYTNG CATTLE change Of
food will be Of great help in quicken.
ing the appetite of stall fed cattle. A
pint Of molasses, mixed with feed Of
cut straw and meal, will be taken very
readily. This may be given once a
day, and one to two ounces of salt
with an alternate feed. Roots, sliced
and sprinkled with either cotton or
linsced-cake meal, will be very health
ful. A few apples will be useful be-
tween meals. A pound of meal stir
red in the drinking water will help.
BY varying the food in this way one
can hardly overfeed fsttening stock so
as to pail the appetite.
MANURE.-The manure from the
stables and sheds, should be piled as it
is hauled out. A square, compact
heap, kept well built at the sides, and
flat on the top, will retain sufficient
heat to resist frost, and the manure
will rot rapidly in the coolest weather.
Fresh additions on the top will soon
heat, and by and by the whole may be
turned over and rebuilt, the outside
portions being placed in the centre of
the new heap. Managed in this way
the manure will be in excellent condi-
tion for use in the spring. If free
from long stalks or straw, the manure
will be fine and well rotted.
WATERPROOF BLAcKISG.-If ever
one needs good waterproof blacking
for boots and shoes, it lie al this season
Of .leet, hail, and snow. The follow
ing recipe for making waterproof
comes to us highly recon.
Dissolve an ounce of borax
IN water, and in this dissolve gum
'hellac until it is the consistency of
thin paste; add lampblack to color.
This makes cheap and excellent
for boots, giving them the
polish Of new leather. The shellac
makes the boots or shoes almost entire
Iy waterproof. Camphor dissolved
in alcohol, added to the blacking,
makes the leather more pliable and
keeps it from cracking. This is sold

making it yourself, 81 will buy mate

who is said not to have eaten anything
for Fix months, has been Uncovered.
After starving all that time she did

weak that il is a work Of the most
painful character for her to drag her

A strange sccne im church.

One day last week young man
living in Genesee eloped with the
daughter Of a wealthy and respected
citizen, the parties for some time pre-
vious having manifested decided Of.
fection for each other. The young
couple went to Mount Morris, where
they took upon themselves the solemn
obligations of marriage; but their
present whereabouts are, we believe,
unknown. The young lady's father
was in Albany at the time on bust
ness, and somebody wrote him that he
had better come home and look after
his daughter. He returned immedi.
ately. On Sunday last he attended
church, and here occurred a strange
scene. The congregation had just
concluded the singing of the first
hymn when he arose in his pew, took
out his watch, and addressing the
clergyman, exclaimed: There is u
devil in this church. and give her
Just five minutes to live" At the
same time he drew a revolver and
pointed it at a lady seated in a pew in
front of him. The lady was the moth
er of tn, young man who had eloped
with and married the others daugh-
ter. The woman, acting under an
impulse Of discretion, left the church.
and things settled down again to
quiet state of affairs. Nothing fur
ther has been done about the matter,
though the whole community have
made il a subject Of constant talk. 1t
seems that the man who feels SO deep
ly aggrieved at what had previously
