A Cheap and Simnle Tce-House.

The cost OF putting up supply of ice
will be more than saved every season in
the saving of meat and vegetables, to
say nothing of the luxury of cold milk
for the table and dish of butter which
does not suggest oil. Butter making is
so much more profitable, too, when the
milk can be cooled rapidly, as nothing
but ice will cool it, ---.,=
Our ice-house was a cheap experiment.
We had small building which was used
for storing spades, hoes and other small
implements. 1t was merely a frame
covered with clapboards. The floor
was taken out of a part of this building,
and the sides built up from the ground
with plank, making q deep bin. The
ground was covered with rough planks,
which were in turn covered to the depth
OF six or eight inches with dry sawdust.
The cakes of ice were laid in layers,
with foot between the ice and the sides
of the building. Care was taken to fill
the interSticeS between the cakes with
broken ice, which was made solid by
pouring water over it. When finished,
the ice was a solid mass. The space be-
tween the ice and walls was filled with
sawdust, crowded down very hard, and
about ten inches of sawdust was packed
down hard over the top. The ice kept
WE'LL and, with the exception of one year,
when ice could not be obtained here, it
has been used every season forten years,
and has never failed us yet. If the
drainage is perfect and the ventilation
good over the ice, it is sure to keep as
long as needed. Care must be taken,
however, to keep the sawdust firm over
the top, and, as the ice is taken out and
the sawdust from the sides comes down,
it must be removed so that it may not
become too thick over the top. 7r n

LITTLE Rock. Feb 9.-There was a
novel case in the Justice Court of this
county to-day, which brings bick to
mind the witchcraft superstition of the
sixteenth century in New England
The trial was of a witch in open court,
the charge being preferred by the al
legged victim, an intelligent-looking
negro, against a smart-lOoking girl Of
the same color. Jackson Holmes
brought the charge under the head of
vile practices, and an erudite Justice,
also colored, supposed it was i'll due
form, and caused the arrest of the
culprit, Martha Hodges. The woman
denied nothing, but told her tale, how
Jackson had proposed for her hand
won her love and then trampled upon
it. She had beseeched him to marry
her, but he had laughed at her. Ii, r
grandmother had then unfoIded u
her mysterious powers, of which pos
session the girl had been heretofore
Ignorant, and in revenge she laid GER
tain spells Oh her victim.
The victim then took the stand and
testified that he had loved Martha,
b 1t was Mortified to observe blue fire
jets occasionally come from her nos
trils, and gave up the idea of marry
ing her, because she was witch.
Martha sWOre vengeance and that
night he awOke with a choking sensa-
ton and an unseen power impelled
him to the door. where he found, on
the doorstep, a rabbit-foot. When he
picked it up he was answered with Il
mocking laugh. On similar occasions
he found bind claws and horse hoofs.
Then he became crippled and total
wreck.
The Justice, after mature delibera-
ton, settled matters by declaring they
should marry, and closed the trial by
solemnly joining them.

A recent medical writer thus accounts
for sick headache, from which so many
persons suffer. He attributes it to :.
weak stomach and imperfect digestion,
and that the attacks are usually preced-
ed by Il greater than ordinary appetite.
The stomach is naturally weak, and so
long as it is not crowded it works kind
ly. By-and-by more food is put into it
of more irritating kinds-than it can
digest. 1t ferments, an acid is pro-
duced, the acid acts as an irritant upon
the coats of the stomach, and this irrita-
ton is taken to be q call for food, to
satisfy which, more is taken, and all to
no purpose; the poor stomach revOlts,
but with the rest during the headache,
and the relief from the vomiting, it re-
covers its wonted tone. If this be cor
rect, the remedy is very simple one;
abstinence from food for meal or two,
or denial of the unnatural cravings of
the appetite, would seem to be all that
is required Sufferers from this disease
should test the value of this advice.

Is compound of the virtues of sarsapari-
la, stillinga, mandrake, yellow dock, with
the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful
blood-malling, blood-cleausng, and life-sus-
and most effectual Alternative medicine
known or available to the public. The sci
ences of medicine and chemistry have never
produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so
potent to cure all diseases resulting from
impure blood. 1t cures Scrofuia and
all scrofulous diseases, ErysipeIas,
Rose, or st. Anthony's Fire, Pimples
and Face-grubS, PustuleS, BiotcheS,
Boils, Tumors, letter, Humors,

BY it's searching and cleansing qualities
it purges out the foul corruptions which
contaminate the blood and cause derange-
ment and decay. 1t stimulates and enlivenS
the vital functions, promotes energy and
strength, restores and preserves health, and
infuses new life and vigor throughout the
whole system. No sufferer from any dis
ease which arises from impurity OF the
blood need despair who will give AVER
SARSAPARILLA lair trial.
It is folly to experiment with the numer-
Gus low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials,
and without medicinal virtues offered as
blood-purifiers, while disease becomes more
firmly seated. AYERS SARsAPARILLA is a
medicine of such concentrated curative
power, that it is by far the best, cheapest,
and most reliable blOod-purifier known.
Physicians know it's composition, and pre-
scribe it. 1t has been widely used for forty
years, and has won the unqualified conf
dence of millions whom it has benefited.
