That Ice House.

We have always taken occasion, at the
season when ice may be cut and stored, to
urge upon our farmer readers the advantage
of having an ice-house and store of ice put
up having an iee-house and store of ice put
advice would have more effect if made now
that warm weather has come, and the need
OF the cooling treasure will be more acutely
felt Those who have never had any ice to
use of course do not appreciate its benefits;
but those who have once had little expe-
rience with it, cannot be got to do without,
if it can possibly be had. We are glad to
note that the number of users gradually in
creases year by year, and the time will come
when afarmerwill as soon be without a barn
as without an ice-house. The ice so light
ems the labor and care of the dairy, and so
saves in the keeping of food, as well as
makes possible many little luxuries which
would otherwise never be known, that it
should count among those essential modern
appliances which no well-regulated farm
will do without. And above all, it is so
cheap, and so easily had, that the poorest
need not be stinted in its use. 1t is only
those who are too shiftless to har vest and
store croy which nature produces in album
dance in this latitude, who do not enjoy its
advantageS.-LOWell Courier

The Laws of the Road.

In America, parties in meeting, turn to
the right; in passing, the foremost turns to
the right, and and the other party to the left.
In England, parties on meeting, turn to the
left, and in passing turn to the right In
England, these rules apply to both eques-
trians and carriages; here, an equestrian
meeting a carriage, may exercise his own
notion of prudence, and turn either to the
left or right. A horseman should yield the
road to a vehicle and is remediless if. refus-
ing to turn out when he could safely, a col
lision ensues and he is injured. When you
are ahead you need not turn out to let any
one pass if there is sufficient room on either
side of you if not, and it is practicable, the
road must be shared equally. If impracti-
cable, the second must follow patiently I'M
til an available spot is reached; then the
first must give room or an action will lie.
The second, however, cannot force his way
past. There are, of course, exceptions to all
rules, and in the crouded streets of a city,
situations and circumstances will frequently
arise where deviation is not only Unsuitable
but necessary. In case of injury, the injured
party must not only show that the injurer
was on the wrong side, but that he, himself,
exercised ordinary precaution to avoid acct
dent.
