of counsel Verdict : Not guilty.
This case was brought by War1e en-
n. Marshall, and tho circumstances
attending it havo already been
alluded to in The News AND HERALD.
There was personal difficulty be-
tween Mr.. S. M. Smart and Mr.
Marshall, and the sons of tho for
mcr, intending to resent tho injury
done to their father, went to Mar.
shall for satisfaction. On his refusal
to accord any, they went to grove
near Ridgeway for the purpose of
meeting him. He turned off in one
direction, and tho two boys in
another. In thus going one of the
latter shot his pistol in the air.
The verdict of the jury shows the
real merits of the case. His Honor
the presiding judge made the fol-
lowing entry on the docket with
reference to this case "The
charge in this case was Not in any

Cants for defendant. Verdict Not
guilty. The defendant in this case
had resisted Mr., j. w. McCreight
who was sent by the sheriff to levy
! upon certain agricultural produce in
the possession of the accused. The
authority of Mr.. A1cCreight con-
sisted in the endorsement upon
the warrant the following words
81 hereby constitute and appoint
}. w. McCrcight my special deputy
to execute the within warrant. S.
! w. Ruff, S. +. c." The defence
made the point that McCreight was
not legal deputy, and the court
sustaining the position, instructed
the jury to acquit the defendant
The point thus established is tha
deputies must be appointed by the
sheriff and be approved by the
court, first taking taking the proper
oath.

In the schools in Germany this matter

ARCTIC CoLD.-When snow becomes
ha rd as rock, its surface takes granular
consistence like sugar Where it lies with
its massive wreaths fl zen in the form of
pillows, our steps rescued as We walk over
them, with the sound as Of drum. The
ice is so hard that it ennis ringing sound;
wood becomes wonderfully hard, splits,
and is as difficult TO cut as bone butter be-
comes like stone; meat must be split, aud
mercury may be fired as a bullet from a
gun. If cold thus acts on things without
life, how much more must il influence liv-
ing organisms and the power of mans
will Cold lowers the beat of the pulse,
weakens the bodily sensations, dimiuishes
the capacity of movement and of enduring
great fatigue. OF all the senses, TASTE and
smell most lose their force and pungency,
the mucous membrane being in a constant
state of congestion and excessive secretion.
After tiIie decrease of muscular power
is also perceptible. If one is exposed sud

cold, however, is most painfully felt in the
soles of the feet, when there is cessation
of exercise. Nervous weakness, torpor
and drowsiness follow, which explains the
connection which is usually found between
resting and freezing. The most important
fact, for sledge party, which has such ex-
ertions to make al very low temperature,
is to stand still as little as possible. The
excessive cold which is felt in the soles of
the feet during the MONDAY rest is the
main reason why afternoon marches make
such a demand on the moral power. Great
cold also alters the character of the excre-
tons, thicken' the blood, and increases the
need of nourishment from the increased
expenditure of carbon. And while perspir-
alton ceases entirely, the secretion of the
mucous membranes of the nose and ewes

FARM AND FIRESIDE.
Hint. for Home Builders.

First, let your cellar be large, well-ven-
tilated, and lined with stone or oemented
above the level OF the ground. The breath
of life In furnace heated houses depends lit
terally on the air of the cellar, unless there
be flue for fresh air extending from the
furnace out-of-doors (never the case in
cheap, snowy houses.) The air of the whole
house is sucked through this narrow and
often unclean apartment, the care of which
is usually intrusted to ignorant servants.
We have spoken in a previous number Of
the malaria engsndered by massing guam
titles of vegetables in the cellars, as is the
practice in farm houses during the winter.
The lining Of stone or cement not only pre-
vents dampness, but is absolutely neces-
sary in streets through which the sewers
pass, as a protection from rats. Terriers,
ferrets, traps or poison are feeble defenses
against the legions which swarm in night
~ from a neigbboring culvert. Next TO
the cellars comes the kitchen, which should
be large, airy and sunny. To take no high
or ground, conveniences in this department
are a polite investment, which pay full
interest of capital, especially TO the house
ketDhE WIN uO6S nOt llNo III q Aoi ~ Wye
Stationary tubs, closets beneath the dress
ers for flour, dry groceries, spices, etc.,
will be likely to tempt int her household
a better class of servants, and, when she is
forced 10 turn cook and baker herself, will
take half the burden from her weary hands.
An addition TO comfort, much neglected by
builders, is the lighting of stairways, clos
els and pantries. We have in our minds
eye modest little house, in closely built
neighborhood of dark buildings, which
gives you a sunny, cheerful welcome in ev-
cry corner: a result produced not only by
windows wherever window is practical

How THE Potato BUG PROVED TO DE
BLEssINa.-The editor of the New Eng
land Farmer gives his experience with the
potato bug. He has saved his potatoes at
an expense for poison-.Paris green.-of 25
cents, and so little labor that, with high
manuring and good culture, he has the
largest and best and cheapest crop of pota-
toes he has ever raised. And not a few
farmers who were frightened about the ten
liner, and who therefore resolved TO have
the least possible quantity of land to fight
him on, have by unusual manuring and
extraordinary hoeing obtained more profit
able crops than ordinary. All of which
goes 10 show that in New England espe-
cially, where labor is so dear, profit in farm
Ing will be found, If found at all, in high
or cultivation. 1t will follow, of course,
that more capital must be employed. But
there are farmers who are retaining the
worn out land Of Rhode Island, who make
good milk, and sell ii at five cents quart,
who improve the quality of their herds
year by year, aud obtain q reasonable in
terest on their investment. 1t would not
be fair to cite particular cases, the fact re-
mains that what is done ON a large scale by
some one can be done on smaller and vet
profitable scale by all who will take the
trouble and the time, and will keep pace,
not with the mere theories, but the actual
facts OF agricultural progress.

SALT AS Tor DREss1Ne.-The value of

SALT AS A Tor DREssING.-The value of
salt as top dressing for the orchard, and
for grass, has been long a subject of dis
cussion, and like plaster, it has many
advocates, while not few who have used
it have failed to find any beneficial effects
from it. The Michigan Farmer relates the
experience of noted and successful farm
er of East Saginaw which may throw more
light upon the discussion. Mr.. Smith pro-
cured quantity of refuse salt, with the in
tentlon of dressing considerable portion
Of his land with it, but the whole amount,
ten tons, was put upon ten acre lot. 1t is
important to note the quality and condi-
lions of the soil. 1t was a sandy loan,
with asubstratum of stiff clay at depth of
two feet. 1t was thoroughly drained. 1t
had recently been seeded with rye and tim
othy seed. The water from the drains for
few months was exceedingly salt to the
taste. The rye made fair crop in the
spring clover seed was sown, and for two
years very heavy crops were taken off
over three tons of hay to the acre, and all
insects were killed out. The light surface
soil and the complete drainage prevented
the complete killing out ofthe rye and timo-
thy, and leaves it tolerably we'll proven that
that is, in proper quantity, good fertilizer
for grass. Around fruit trees, not too free
ly administered, there is reason to believe
it is valuable. The lesson is TO adapt the
fertilizer TO the conditions of the soil.

ABOUT EVERGREEN TREEs.-Some of
cultural lore to more or less extent, are
discussing again the best time of trans
planting the evergreen family of trees, the
selection of trees and the mode of setting
them out. We profess to have some expe-
rience in this work, and it is not little
surprise to us to see August selected as the
best and indeed the only time to transplant
them with safety. Now, in the face of this
wehave transplanted them in March, April,
May, (when the branches had shot two
inces,) August, October and November,
and never lost a tree set out at any one of
these periods. In fact, we know of no
trees so easy to grow as those of the ev-
ergreen family. A word in regard to the
selection OF trees-say the Norway spruce.
In height let them be from two and half
10 three and half feet, having a single
main stem, evenly branched out from the
very bottom for it must be remembered
that an evergreen once formed never adds
a single branch to the main stem. In set
ting them out, plant no deeper than they
grew in the nursery, where they should be
taken up so as to secure unnjured as many
roots and rootlets as possible. Dig hole
deeper than is necessary, and fill up with
rich soil to the required height, and wider
than the longest roots, say foot all round,
to be filled with loose soil to give the roofs
a chance TO take an early hold; then fill
up the whole with soil and press down
firmly and mulch, as far as the roots ex-
tend, with good, well-rotted manure. Stalk o
firmly, with the stake at an angle, as il
must be remembered that the wind, at all
seasons, has full sweep at the dense bush,
and IL 1t should jar and disturb the roots,
the tree may not grow at all, or it may be
stunted.-G Germantown Telegraph.
