SALEM.
The week just gone notes the fight
OF winter, and the return of spring.

young to robe it in green, or to well
come back many Of the tuneful birds.
Quite number of teachers closed
their schools this week, q seasonable
time to avoid bad going And not a
few of the clever schoolma are

the least unto the School Board are

The Governors room was thronged.
with persons, who expected that the
coffin would be opened and Mr.. Tay-
lors's face exposed to view, but when
they were notified that such would
not be the case they dispersed. Among
those present in the Governors room
awaiting the arrival of the body were
Senator Bayard, of Delaware; White
law Reid, Collector Merritt, Mayor
Cooper, and members of the Board of
Aldermen.
Last night Post No. 2,of the Grand

with regular military reIiefs.
New YORK, March 14.-The remains
of Bayard Taylor were removed to-
day from Governors Room, City Hail.

AT KENNETH SQUARE, PA.
KENNETH SQUARE, Pa, March 15.-
Business at this place was entirely
suspended out of respect to the mem
DRY of Bayard Taylor, and many Of
the houses were draped in mourning.
Governor Hoyt and a joint committee
of the State Legislature arrived early:
also the grand chorus from the ada
cent? towns. At Cedar Croft, private
burial service was held, the parents of
Mr.. Taylor being too infrm to attend
the regular ceremonies. The funeral
procession then started for Longwood,
where the remains of Mr.. Taylor were
inferred.

Belittling Her Sex.

The warden of the State Prison at
Bangor, Maine, recently related curious
story. A young woman who served out
a sentence of five years found means of
education, and becoming thoroughly re-
formed and a Christian, left the prison
in appearance lady. She was employed
by dry goods firm in Portland as
salewoman, and gave perfect satisfaction
to her employer, till one day wealthy
lady of the place entered the store and
recognized her. Calling the proprietor
aside, she told him that the girl had
been in the State Prison. He replied
that he knew it, but that she had done
her duty faithfully, and that they were
all satisfied with her. "Well," said tt e
lady, "if you keep her in your store,
will neither trade with you myself nor
suffer any of my friends to, if l can elp
it." So the proprietor, rather than lose
his customer, called in the poor girl
and discharged her Earl

EVERY mistress of family should see
that not only all sleeping rooms in her
house can be we'll ventilated at night,
but that they actually are so. The
window should be lett open to admit
fresh air, taking care that the draught
does not cross the bed. The debility
| of childhood, the lassitude of domestics,
and the ill health of families are often
caused by neglecting to supply pure
air. The rooms of invalids should be
ventilated by opening windows in the
corridor or apartment adjoining.
VEGETABLES. NJ. Parloa, in her
| new book of First Principles of House
hold Management and Cookery" gives
the following general rule for cooking
all kinds of vegetables. Green vege-
| tables should be thoroughly washed in
| cold water, then be dropped into water
4 which has been salted, and is Just be-
ginning to boil. There should be a
tablespoonful of salt for every two
| quarts of water. If the water boils a
1ong time before the vegetable are put
in, it has lost all its gases, and the
| mineral Ingredients are deposited on the
bottom and sides of the kettle; so
| that the water is fat and tasteless
then the vegetables will not look or
have a fine flavor. The time for boil
ing green vegetables depends very much
upon the age and how long they have
been gathered. The younger and more
freshly gathered, the more quickly they
are cooked. Below is good timetable
for cooking vegetables:

A sculptor had sent marble Venus
to some international exposition or
other, and when it reached its destina-
ton, 10! one of the hands had been
knocked off, The furious artist brought
suit against the railroad company for
damages, and the judge (whQ was the
brother of the railroad company's presi-
dent) decided as follows: "If a work
of art is one of transceudental merit. its
value is not impaired by mutilation.
Thus, the Venus of Milo, though both
arms have been broken of, is, neverthe-
less, of priceless worth. (Ruskin, W.,
IL A; Matt. Arnold, s. T. 1860 X, ct
seq) On the other hand, a statue of a
commonplace and inferior character is
robbed of most of its value by such an
accident. 1t remains for the artist,
therefore, to aid the Court in appraising
the value of his statue" Oh! the
statue" said the artist, hungrier for
gain than for glory; the statue didn't
amount to much. 1t was what you have
called commonplace and inferior piece
of work-in fact, 1 may say it was worth
less" Mr.. Clerk" said the Judge,
the plaintiff swears that his statue was
almost worthless; consequently | will
allow him five francs damages; which,
on his own showing, is very liberal. l
thought 1 had him either way. Call the
next case" ~

Blacksmith Was Blown Sixty Feet.

z The Fort Smith (Ark.) Independent, in
recent issue, says: il Mr.. Burr, who
met with such severe treatment by the
cyclone that passed bv this place on the
8th, visited us last Wednesday. From
him we received this additional in
formation:
az was about two hundred yards
from my house when | saw it coming
1t was in the prairie when saw it, and
it looked like black smoke from large
furnace. Its shape was like funnel,
inside it was red as fire, and around
this was the black, foggy mist. In
looking at it I saw large and small
timber carried along with it. My atten-
ton was attracted by the roaring, and,
as it was coming in the direction of my
house, ran to it for the purpose of pro-
tecting my family. / put my three
little children in a side-room among
some corn, and, with Sylvester Bull,
was holding the door, and all at once
the whole building was crushed to the
very ground by large trees being blown
against it. 1t blew me about sixty feet,
and when I became conscious found
myself among lot of timber and logs,
and Sylvester was living by my side
dead; his head and whole body were
crushed. AS l was on my way to the
house looked again at the cylone when
it was about one hundred yards away,
and saw it lift and carry lot of hogs
and a COW. The children, when found,
were not more than thirty feet from
where 1 had placed them, but none
hurt. My wife was considerably bruised,
being blown about sixty yards, among
a lot of lumber.

fifty feet and thrown to the ground, her
arms and shoulders badly bruised -
My blacksmith shop was also blown
fat to the ground, my bellows entirely
destroyed, all my planes, augers, saws

Is impaired to the kidneys and bladder by
Hostetter's Bitters which is most useful in
overcoming torpidity of those organs. Besides
infusing more activity into them, this excellent
tonic endows them with additional vigor and
enables them the better to undergo the wear
and tear of the discharging function imposed
upon them by nature. Moreover, as they are
the channel for the escape of certain impurities
from the blood, it increases their usefulness by
strengthening and BEAUTIFULLY stimulating
them. In certain morbid conditions of these
important organs, they fall into a sluggish
state, which is the usual precursor of dis
ease. What then can be of greater service than
a medicine which impels them to greater activ-
ity when slothful? No maladies are more per-
ilous than those which affect the kidneys; and
a medicine which averts the peril should be
highly esteemed.

arrangement? I will pay you for your trouble
and time. My plan is to give exhibitions in
some of our cities and towns. There three
of us here who propose to do that thing either

The New York Tribune in its market re-
port a short time since, explained why
some butter was sold at low prices. 1t
said Light colored goods are very hard
to dispose of and several lots were thought
well sold at to 10 cents. If butter
makers would get the top prices, they
should use the perfected Butter Color,
made by Wells, Richardson & Co., Bur
ington, VT. 1t gives pure dandelion
color an never turns red or rancid, but
