CHEAP Ice HoUsEs.-At the meeting
of the Elmira Farmers Club, some time
since, w. A. Armstrong said that a
cheap ice house could be made out of a
simple well-roofed enclosure, without
hollow walls or pits, or any costly ap-
paratus. He leaves six inches of space
next the sides all round, into which he
rams clean sawdust closely, and covers
the ice when packed with foot of the
dust. The ice is cut into large blocks
and made to fit at the joints as closely
as convenient, but where the edges are
jagged he fills in with pounded ice or
sawdust-the latter being the cheapest
Drainage is important, but if the house
stands on porous soil, or is so elevated
that the water will run off readily, it an
swers every purpose He had kept ice
houses several years in such a building,
nine feet square and the same in height,
the sides being only Of inch boards
When ice is taken out, be careful to
keep all cavities covered with sawdust,
or it will waste away rapidly. In an
swer to question as to the cost of a
house IA feet square, he said that $50
would pay for it and the sawdust and
built of cheap lumber it might cost only
S25. In packing, spent tan or cut
straw would answer nearly as well as
sawdust.

WATER AS A PREsERvER OF BUTTER
The Utica Heralds dairy editor says
"After being duly packed water tight,
the packages may be placed in good,
cold water, such as is found in good
wells and springs anywhere. Any
such good well of water may be used
for this purpose, only be sure the pack
age is completely under water always
and if under water several feet deep it
is no detriment, but probably an advan-
tage. 1t is not necessary, but probably
best, that the packages should not rest
on the clear ground at the bottom OF
the well-not that any harm would
happen to the butter, but the outside
of packages might get soiled and mud
dy. A deep tank, full of water from a
continually flowing spring may be the
most desirable reservoir for keeping the
butter in, if the tank is well covered
and kept from freezing. No one need
be surprised if butter stored in this
way be kept for years as good as when
first made. Possibly lard and some
other articlesof food may be stored in
this way.

Two centuries ago it was thought an
insult in the Highlands of Scotland to
ask man for note. 1t was consid-
cred the same as saying, 81 doubt your
honor" If the parties had small bust
ness matters to transact together they
stepped out into the open air, fixed their
eyes on the heavens, and each repeated
his obligation with no mortal witness.
A mark was then carved in some part
of a tree near by to be a remembrance
of the compact. Such a thing as a
breach of contract, we are told, was
then very rarely met with, SO highly did
thu people regard their honor, and so
truly did they fear Him beneath whose
eye they performed such acts.


When the march of improvement
brought in the new mode of doing bus
mess, they were often panied by these
innovations. An anecdote is handed
down of farmer who had been to the
Lowlands and learned worldly wisdom.
On returning to his native parish he
had need of sum of money, and made
bold to ask loan of gentleman of
means, named STEWART. This was
cheerfully granted, Mr.. S. counting out
the gold on his library table. This done,
the farmer took pen and wrote re-
ceipt and offered it to the gentleman


"What is this, man." cried Mr..
Stewart, sternly cycling the slip of pa
per.


cit is a receipt, sir, binding me to
give ye back yer gold at the right time, "
replied Sandy.


Binding ye'" Well, my man, if
ye can ma trust yourself, I'm sure Ill
ma trust ye! Ye Gamma ha' my gold "
and gathering it up he put it back in
his desk and turned Che key on it.


"But, Sir, might die" replied the
canny Scotchman, bringing up argument
in favor of his new wisdom, "and my
sons might refuse it to ye. But this
bit of paper wad compel them


compel them to sustain dead faith
er's honor" cried the high minded
Scot. "They will need compelling to
do right, if this is the road you are
leading them! III neither trust you
nor them. Ye can gang elsewhere for
money. But yell find zane in this par
ish thatll put more faith in bit O pa
per than in neighbor's word of honor,
and his fear of God"

The OTHER SIDE OF GREAT MEN,
We always think of great men as in the
act of performing the deeds which give
them renown, or else in stately repose,
grand, gloomy and majestic. And yet
this is hardly fair, because even the
most gorgeous and magnificent Of hu-
man beings have to bother themselves
with the little things of life which en-
gage the attention of us smaller people.
No doubt Moses snuffied and got angry
when he had severe cold in his head,
and if fly bit his leg while sitting in
the desert, why should we suppose he
did not jump and use violent language
and rub the sore place? And Caesar
isn't it tolerably certain that he used to
become furious when he went upstairs
to get his slippers in the dark and found
that Calphurnia had showed them back
under the bed, so that he had to sweep
around wildly for them with the broom
handler And when Solomon cracked
his crazy-bone, is it unreasonable to
suppose that he hoped around the
room and looked mad and felt as if he
wanted to cry! Imagine George Wash
ington sitting on the edge of the bed,
putting on clean shirt, and growing
at Martha because the buttons were off;
or st. Augustine with an apron around
his neck, having his hair cut; or Joan OF
Arc holding her front hair in her mouth,
as women do, in fixing up her back
hair; or Napoleon jumping out of bed
in frenzy to chase mosquito around
the room with a pillow; or Martin Lu-
ther in his nightshirt, trying to put the
baby to sleep at two o'clock in the
morning; or Alexander the Great with
the hiccups; or Thomas Jefferson get
ting suddenly over a fence to avoid a
dog; or the Duke of Wellington lying
in bed with the. mumps; or Daniel
Webster abusing his wife because she
hadn't tucked the covers in the foot of
the bed; or Benjamin Franklin pairing
his corns with a razor; or Jonathan
Edwards at the dinner table, wanting
to sneeze just as he gets his mouth full
of hot beef; or Noah standing at his
window throwing bricks at cat.-Nar

BEAUTIFUL WoMEN.-Beauty in wo-
man is in considerable part matter of
health. A sick woman's face may be
exquisitely moulded; she never appeals
to our imagination. But even an ugly

Such woman appeals to imagination
her charms attracts us by a subtle mag
netism. Whether as maid, wife or
mother, health is woman's great good.

No New Trial till Next Term.


NEW YORK, Feb. Judge Davis this
morning refused to grant motion for an
immediate r5trial of Tweed. There vas
legal doubt about continuing the term. The
regular term commenced Monday and the
case could be brought on by giving the
usual notice.


Tweed last evening said his trial was
merely political one; that they would
never get q jury to convict him; hs was
tired of the business. A juryman says
they all pledged themselves to dlvu!ge
nothing occurring in the jury room. From
forty to fifty ballotings were cast In all
Nothing was learned upon an interview
with several Jurors to show that any were
influenced by improper motives.


Tremaine, counsel for the prosecution in
the Tweed case, last evening said that The
panel Of Jurors from which the jury was Sc
lected was prepared in the interest of the
defendant. One Of the jury, he says, was
what is known as q hummer or loafer, pro-
vlded with new suit of clothes especially
for this trial. Another boasted that he
would make money if on the jury. Still
another had served in prison in Virginia for
violating the revenue laws though pardoned
out. These things were not discovered till
after the jury was sworn. The prosecution
have information that some of the jury had
been tampered with, and it is probable viii
take suitable action thereon.


Stokes Struggle for Another Trial.


Counsel in the Stokes case in the event
of failure to obtain an order for new trial
from Judge Boardman will apply for stay
Of proceedings and thereby secure review
of the case by the full bench of the Supreme
Court, and on failure there will go to the
Court of Appeals.


LATER-In Oyer and Terminer Court
to-day Judge Boardman heard counsel in
the matter of the bill of exceptions in the
case of Stokes. The Judge decided to ex-
elude from the bill the allegations in refer
ence to Stokes having been absent from the
court while part of the testimony was
being taken: also that the Judge was at one
time off of the bench; but allowed them to
be brought in by affidavit on the motion for
q new trial. The Judge then signed the
bill. The motion for q new trial was then
commenced and the papers in the case read.
1t will be decided Monday.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Th Boston & Maine railroad
recognize the extraordinary claim made in
their behalf upon the public indulgence, in the
above-named matter by offering in offset GER
tain land and money They ask to have one of
the main, one of the most important and SER
viceable of the acress-town avenues closed to
the public, to enable them to establish thereon
passenger station. The question before the
City Council is simply this: Shall they sell out
the interest of this community as involved in
this most important thoroughfare, for little
patch of land ON Maple street, which is wanted
not for the general but only the railroad con-
veniences and which moreover is to be substan-
TALLY under the control of the railroad-and
for little sum of money altogether made
ouate for the purposes to which it is proposed to
be dedicated. The business moving Though
High street is already very great. It must con-
stantly increase as the water front becomes
more fully occupied for traffic. West of High
and Park streets convenient access to the mair
body of the town is barred by the slope of the
land. These two streets must always remain
indispensable for travel and the carriage of
merchandise Let either be closed and the OBJ
struction would affect the value of every piece
of property adjacent to their outfall and west
thereof to Vaughan's bridge. The depreciation
would not be for one year, or decade, but for
tU6 luu6Hulto anu UuSlueSs, pTOpeIty
and the public convenience would suffer as
long as the blockade might be continued.


Now be it observed, and in the Hearing as
reported this point was not insisted upon, all
this public inconvenience and detriment are to
be incurred to allow the establishment of pas
senger station. Another huge passenger station
on Commercial street!


If ever the public mind was made up and ir-
revocably fixed upon any one point, it is that
there shall be no passenger stations at all, on
Commercial street. The discussion of this
question, a year ago or more, disclosed una
nimity of sentiment upon this question rarely
exhibited upon any municipal concern. If it
were in any way essential to the prosperity of
the railroads that their passenger depots should
be planted upon the grand commercial avenue
of the town, the public might assent to the nui-
sance. But it is not necessary. Establishment
there will be attended with vast expense, and
the public will have to foot the bills, sooner or
later. If the Boston and Maine plant their sta
ton on Commercial St., the Eastern, and Maine
Central lines will locate theirs thereon like
wise, doubtless with equal unconcern as to the
cost aud the public will have to sweat to liqui-
date the costs. Let the city government aid
and abet in this matter no further. Their duty
is to protect the interests of this community.
We have quite enough of blockaded streets and
endangered travel from railroads, without plug
ging up an other main artery of business and
crowding more railroad stations upon our " a
ter front. IL
