HENS Foa rRosIr In WINTER.

Eens are perverae creatures. When
eggs are. no more than 70 or IA cents
per dozen i'll summer they lay well; but
In winter, say about Christmas or New
Vars, when fresh eggs are quite sure
TO bring three cents each, or perhaps
more. they need considerable coaxing
TO induce them to ley eggs enough to
gay for their keeping. In GUNNER
hey have the bright. warm sunshine,
plenty If dry dusJ to scratch and wal
low l., bugs, worms and grasshoppers
20 satisfy their cravings for meat, and
abundance of green grass and gravel,
II they are allowed to run at large they
frequently require but little supple
mentary feed and milk to pay quite
well. It is almost certain that if one
can have summer conditions for win
ter, summer results can be approx
mated, Il is evidently out OF the power
Of the farmer to furnish the bright,
warm sunshine, but he can do some
thing In the way of a room with a
southern exposure, we'll lighted, and
as near frOsG-prOOf as may be- The
other rC quisi5es are not 80 difficult to
obtain. One can buy Of the butcher
fat and clean scraps Of fresh meat for
one cent pound. A very good article
Of whole wheat can be bought of the
miller for Sl2O p r hundred weight.
Wheat bran and meal are but IS cents
per hundred weight SHELLS are very
cheap. The green bores should be
saved by the hoUs4keeper, and can be
either cut up with bone cutter or
pounded up with O hammer at odd
spells GJod new milk is not usually
worth more TO the farmer in winter
than four or five cents a quart. The
hens will certainly pay 8s much or
more for ii; al least, that is my expe-
rieace. Some early cut hay for them
to eat ard scratch about is important.
Give them an a5undaE ce Of dcy aehes
80 walow in. K4rOeeUe the r0Ost poles
thoroughly. Give the whole wheat
and milk warm TO them very early In
the morning. Sprinkle IN a liberal
supply Of the meat cut up in pieces
small enough SO that they can eat it
readily. In the evening, some roasted
c1rn, or some hot meal and wheat bran.
Do not allow the milk and water pro-
vidtd to freeze Warm them. Cd
hens are not profitable for winter lay
ers, usually. Good, strong puliets, six
months cd, that have been well fed
through the summer should lay we'll
through the winter if fed as above
directed. They need attention, how
ever. A little frosty fo,d, or being
allowed 10 eat snow for drink may
prove very expensive luxury to the
owner.

The Resignation of DIR. Grier.

The report Is current that the Rev. w. NJ.
Grier, d. d.. President of Erskine College,
will tender his resignation at the approach
ing Commencement. The Doctor has held
this position for quarter Of q century, and
during all that time which has been noted for
Its events and excitements, no one could have
presided over its destiny with greater accepta-
bility to the public or with greater satisfac-
tion to the church in whose service the Doctor
is laboring. For these reasons his resignation
is matter Of general interest, and all friends
OF the College will manifest more or less anx-
iety for the future CT the College, no matter
who may be his successor.
The Doctor, like his distinguished contem-
porary, the learned DR.. Carlisle Of Woford,
possesses in an eminent degree the faculty OF
imparting instruction while instilling noble
and honest principles. These eminent teach
ers form a parallel In that they teach relig-
ion Of principle while despising shams. Gen.
erous and forgiving to the weak, but intol-
Grant to false pretenses on the part or those
who lack common honesty in the discharge
OF the daily affairs of life. They would raise
the fallen and strengthen the faint-hearted,
but they have no patience with the sancti.
monious pretender who uses his religion to
cover the sins which he may think have been
undiscovered.
The purity of life, and the honesty of pur.
pose which has been ever guided by the high.
est and best motives, has made DIR. Grier's
life one of pre-eminent usefulness, and his
withdrawal from the College will be distinc'
tive loss to the church, to the College, and to
the youth Of the contrary, and, in all proba
bllity we shall not see his like again.

WARRENTON'S SCHOOL.
Some Account of the Closing Exer.
cises Pretty Teachers - Able
Sneak People.

1t was our good fortune to attend the exhi
bition given by the Warrenton school, over
which the talented and accomplished MISS
Zula Brock so ably presdes, on Friday night
18th of May. Upon arriving at the school
house we found 1t brilliantly Illuminated
and filled beyond its utmost capacity with
the patrons of the school, their friends and
neighbors OF the surrounding country, and
rendered the scene truly enchanting.
A stage had been erected at the end OF the
school building most remote from the puoilc
highway. This had been bi.sected by cutting
off and inclosinga small section OF It's eastern
end for dressing room.
When the signal for beginning the exercises
had been given, the curtain was shlited dis.
closing the stage tastefuly decorated. h1gs ,Es
walls. and the entire place seemed TO be iur'
nshed with such things as were calculated TO
render the stage attractive. The walls were
beautifully draped with several varieties ol
evergreens, and festoOns of Ivy, interspersed
with roses, lilies, and such wild flowers az
grow spontaneously in the shady forests anu
sequestred wales of our country, lent their aid
to complete the perfection of the scene
beautiful as the decorations were, it was only
after the pupils had marched out OF the dress
Ing room upon the stage, and faced the audi
ence. that the full beauty of the picture was
disclosed.
Miss Brock played upon the plano several
selections from Chaplin and others of the great
masters, much to the editlcation and delight
OF the large and appreclatlve audlence. .
The pupils of the school did remarkably
well, considering the short time they nave
been preparing for the exhibition. The sing
ing, reading, dialogues, and drills were excel
lent. When all did SO well, IL would be dill
cult to say who had acquitted himself best
The happy manner In which they all acquit
ted themselves is creditable alike to teacher
and pupils.
One of the interesting events Of the occa'
sion was an address to the patrons and pupils
of the school by w. w. Bradley, Esq. Mr.
Bradley has certainly studied the subject Ol
education thoroughly in all It's details, for the
opinions he entertains and the sound logic
with which he strives to impress them upon
Others, were only equalled by the elegance OF
his language, the Witchery of his rhetoric
and the felicitouS manner Of his delivery.
Most speakers strive TO nmuse their hearers
rather than TO convince them by sound argu.
ment, but Mr. Bradley addressed his remarks
to their understandings. This fact proves
two things, that he possesses both ability and
sincerity.
From the progress made by the pupils OF
the Warrenton school, since Miss Brock took
charge Of 1t, one can easily Judge her eihclen'
cy as q teacher. The parents and children
should make every effort to retain her, for
her qualifications are such as will Insure sue
cess in any efforts they may make to secure
the advantages Of an education. Spectator.
