About Preparing H0t-Beds.

= NUN j
Now is the time to settle whether you will
have a hot-bed next spring or not. Sashes
three feet wide and six feet long, made from
two inch pine, set with 6xs glass, double
thickness, put in with putty, are the best.
-Four of these, costing S. so each, are enough
Prepare the bed by digging trench twelve
feet long, six feet wide, and one foot deep.
In this trench place two-inch chestnut plank
on edge, one foot wide on the back side and
eight inches wide on the front, with slant
of four inches; so that when il is completed
the pit shall be two feet deep on the back
and twenty inches on the trout, with the
earth banked up within -four inches of the
top OF the plank sill the way round on the
outside of the bed. The earth for this hot bed
can be composed OF the best soil you have,
compOsted thoroughly with an equal bulk of
well rOtted manure. This can lie placed in
the prepsred trench six inches deep, and on
the approach of cold weather covered with
leaves enough tn I'LL the b5o, and then left
till 1t is wanted in the spring.

A Cave Is the Best.

A cave for the root products of the farm is
better than storing them in the cellar OF the
dwelling. This will free the dwelling from
the unwholesome gases OF decaying vegeta-
bles. For such a cave it is not necessary 10
dig into a hillside. A good plan, and one
often used, is TO dig a cellar about three feet
deep and plank up above the ground about
five or six feet. elabs from n eawmil Will
answer IOr this purpose, and for roofing.
Cover the root and sides with earth thrown
from the cellar, giving the side towards tn e
north an extra protection. If this covering Is
sodded completely il will be more effective
and durable. Make the entrance door dou bic
and all the space with cut hay, stray or saw
dust well packed.

A party of blacklegs and thieves hung
around this city during the continuance of

where these parties went, as follows:
On Sunday q gang Of scoundrels, mildly
called sports, struck this city, with the in

various fairs. Yesterday morning, colored
man named Arnold fell among these thieves.
One thief got into conversation with Mr.. Ar
nod, asked him If he Was not one Of the
Kentucky Arnoids: suddenly discovered thst
he the thief, WIS from the neixhborbood of
Bowling Green, said his name was Crawford,
and 10 on. While this conversation WAS In
progress another white tn EFF came up and in.
formed Mr.,Crawford thst he was the ex press
age {, and that some OF Mr.. Crawfords goods
were hell over the river for thirty dollars
charges. Crawford then turned to the colored
man and asked him II he would not lend him
the 80 that he would go over and get the
goods and be right back, and in the mean
while, would his colored friend go up to the
Santa F- depot and watch q trunk which he
would find there, together with q canary
bird. The gentleman from Kentucky loaned
the money, but soon after IL was toe. late he
saw the game and informed q policeman.
The officer, know ing party of the blsckiegs
