How to Hang Gates.
A 'correspondent of tha Cincinnati
Gazette writes : "In the spring of 1867
I Lung four large gates. The posts
were six by eight inches square, and
were put in the ground two and one
half feet. The post that I hung the
gnte to vrns put down first and the gate
then hung. I then set the other post
bo as to let the gate shut inside the
post, ngainst two pins driven in the
post, one foot from the top and bottom
of the gate. Then I put a one inch pin
through the head of the gate, putting
the pin through the gate the same way
the gate shuts, and extending through
four inches, with the point of the pin
elevated one inch. This pin wis thus
arranged so as to slip over the top pin
in the post, with sufficient bearing to
take out the spring of gate. In this
way, when shut, the gate is supported
by both posts. The gate is made of
lumber, bars one inch thick, four or
five inches wide, and eleven feet loag.
I take for the two heel pieces lumber
one inch thick, four inches wide, and
four fret ten inches long. I also take
two pieces two inches wide for the head
of the gate, that are set back three feet
from the head of the gate. I then put
a brace on both sides, running from the
top of the center upright slats to the
bottom of the heel pieces, all being
firmly bolted together. The latch or
bolt (three and one-half ieet long), is
pkcod on the top of the third or fourth
bar. A mortise is cut in the post for
the bolt or latch to slide in. The above
four gates were hung in the spring of
18G7. They stand as firm to-day as
they did the day I hung them."
Mulching Winter Wheat.
Our winter wheat crop is" generally
seriously injured, and sometimes en
tirely destroyed, by our winter weather.
At tho North, where the snow covers
the ground four or five months in the
winter, the crop is much more certain,
for it is protected by the snow ; but in
our latitude tho wheat has no such pro
tection the ground is bare nearly all
wiuter. Our climate, too, is very change
able, far more so than a more Northern
or Southern one. Alternate thawing
and freezing is going on most of the
winter. If the sun comes out brightly
upon tho earth, even in rather cold
weather, the ground is thawed, and at
mglit again freezes.
The result of this thawing and freez
ing ia that the wheat plants are heaved
out of the ground and destroyed. Now
if this freezing and thawing could be
prevented, tho crop might be saved.
We are going to recommend a plan,
which, though it will not be an entire
preventive, yet will aid very much in
im'venting the upheaval of the plants.
!t is this : 'When you sow your wheat,
which should be done pretty early, also
bow on the same ground oats or buck'
wheat to act as mulching during the
winter, lhe oats or buckwheat will
pet up a foot or two, and be cut down
by the first frost, and afford an excel
lent protection to the wheat plants all
winter. Jfural World.
An Ice House for Five Dollar!.
A neighbor of mine, says a corre
spondent, has an mclosnre about six
feet square in the clear, and six feet
high, lhe walls are formed of old re
fuse timbers thrown carelessly together,
witli no regard to lorm or comeliness.
The roof is made of hemlock boards.
The entire cost of this building did not
exceed five dollars ; and, practically
considered, it is a success ; not ambi
tious of containing thirty-five loads of
ice, but simply five loads. Ten years
this little unpretentious house has
been used for ice, and never yet dis
honored a draft upon its crystal de
posit. About six inches of sawdust
was spread upon the ground floor, and
in packing a space of about nine inches
was left between the ice and the walls
of the building for sawdust, and about
nine inches of sawdust was spread upon
the top of tho ice, and the thing was
fixed. The three main principles ob
served here will always insure a supply
of ion, viz., good ventilotion, good
drainage, and plenty of sawdust. With
these rules adhered to, a corner of any
old open shed will prove quite efficient
in preserving ice.
A reliance.
While it is perfectly truethat children
should be brought under perfect dis
cipline, their inclinations should not
be rudely forced. We have heard of a
littlo three-year-old girl, who did not
Was ' commanded iTo"ff:'1-'Te,Vent
through the performance conscientious
ly, but as she kissed the last one she
heaved a sigh of relief and exclaimed,
" Amen." It would seem to be self
evident that forcing children to give
what is commonly regarded as a token
of affection, is not only foolish, but
harmful. It takes away the simple
beauty and value of such acts when
they are spontaneous. We have seen
children who were expected, even when
quite a number of mere acquaintances
were present in the parlor, to go around
and kiss every one good-night, when
their bedtime came. It certainly could
not have been a pleasant task. Chil
dren should be taught to be polite on
all occasions, and may well be encour
aged to be free and natural in demon
stnttiona of offection, but why should
they, more than grown people, be re
quired to give special tokens of love,on
all occasions, and to everybody ?
Trotting: Horses.
The great secret of producing trotting
horses is in letting well enough alone.
If a young horse has great capacity for
fcpeeil, do not fear but that it will come
out, and the longer it is in coming, the
more there will probably be of it.
Most your horses are S3 free and spirit
ed that unless they are restrained they
will overdo themselves. The amount
of work should of course be propor
tioned to the age and strength of the
horFe. Speed tells upon a young horse
very quickly, and at first only short
spirts should be allowed, and few of
these at any one drive.
A horse should not be brought to the
ordeal of severe training untilfully ma
ture and in good condition. During
the preceding winter he should be care
fully kept up and fed upon grain, and
given sufficient exercise to keep the
muscles firm, and to prevent the ac
cumulation of fat. To be brought into
condition io do their very best, most
horses require a vast amount of driving,
and a good deal of it fast. But not too
much. Horses, like men, get sick of
one thing. - In conclusion, we must say
ta oil interested in young horses don't
expect too much.

Mr. and Mn. Harbison had just fin
ished their breakfast. Mr. Harbison
had pushed back, and was looking
nnder the lounge for his boots. Mrs.
II. sat at the table, holding the infant
Harbison, and mechanically working
her foro-flnger in its mouth. Suddenly
she paused in tho motion, threw the
astanished child on its back, turned as
white as a sheet, pried open its mouth,
ana immediately gasped, " Jipnraim l
Mr. Harbison, who was on his knees,
with his head under the lounge, at once
came forth, rapping his head sharply
on the side of the lounge as ho, did so,
and, getting on his feet, inquired what
was the matter. O, Ephraim," said
she, the tears rolling down her cheeks
and the smiles coursing tip. " Why,
what is it, Armethea ?" said tho aston
ished Mr. Harbison, smartly rubbing
his head where it had come in contact
with the lounge. "Baby " she gasp
ed. Mr. Harbison turned pale, and
commenced to sweat. "Baby has .
O, O, O, Ephraim ! Baby has baby
has got a tooth I" " No I" screamed
Mr. Harbison, spreading his legs apart,
dropping his chin, and staring at the
struggling heir with all his mitrht. "I
tell you it is," persisted Mrs. II., with
a sngnt evidence of hysteria. "U, O,
it can't be," protested Mr. H., prepar
ing to swear if it wasn't." "Come here,
and see for yourself," said Airs. H.
" Open its 'ittle mousy wousy for its
own muzzer. That's a toody woody ;
that's a bessed 'ittle 'ump o' sugar."'
Thus conjured the heir opened its
mouth sufficiently for the author of its
being to thrust in his finger, and that
gentleman having convinced himself by
the most indubitable evidence that a
tooth was there, immediately kioked
his hat across the room, buried his fist
in the lounge, and declared with much
feeling and vehemence that he could
lick the individual who would dare to
intimate that he was not the happiest
man on the face of the earth. Then ha
gave Mrs. H. a hearty, smack on the
mouth, and snatched up the heir, while
the lady rushed tremblingly forth after
Mrs. Simmons, who lived next door.
In a moment Mrs. Simmons came tear
ing in os if Mie had been shot out of a
gun, and right behind her came Mrs.
II. at a speed that indicated she had
been ejected from two guns. Mrs.
Simmons at once snatched the heir
from the arms of Mr. H. and hurried
to the window, where she made a
careful and critical examination of its
mouth, while Mrs. H. held its head,
and tried to still the throbbiugs of her
heart, and Mr. H. danced up and down
and snapped his fingers to show how
calm he was. It having been ascer
tained by Mrs. Simmons that the tooth
was a sound one, and also that the
strongest hopes for its future could be
entertained on account of its coming in
the new of the moon, Mrs. Harbison
got out the necessary material, and Mr.
Harbison at once proceeded to write
seven different letters to as many per
sons, unfolding to them tho event of
the morning, and inviting them to come
on as soon as possible.
Tcrlls of the California Desert.
A letter from Dos Talmas Station, on
the Desert, to the Yuma (Cal.) Sentinel,
says : " The son of old Chino Theodore,
from Yuma, came to the station recently
about dark, on foot, and nearly dead for
waer. He said he had left his father
and a boy, the brother of Mrs. Jeager,
out forty miles on the desert, without
water and nearly dead for the want of
it, having been without it for nearly
three days when he left them twenty
four hoiirs before. Joe Dittier, the
station-keeper, and Hank Brown started
the next morning with a team and
plenty of water to find them. After
going twenty-five miles, they came upon
the old man. He had found a cask of
water that had been left by surveyors,
and had nearly drank himself to death.
One of the party staid with him, and
the other went to look for the boy.
After going fifteen miles he was dis
covered stretched out nnder a bush,
naked and almost dead his tongue
being swollen and black, and blood run
ning out of his nose and ears. He was
brought to after two hours hard work,
having been without water for five days
and nights. Their three horses died.
The party are now stopping here and
getting along all right. The old man
says that if he had not lost his knife he
would have cut his throat, and ended
his misery. The station keeper and
Brown deserve praise for the manner in
which they acted, being without food
three days on their return."
A CuisiTfTrnTeSea.
A miner from Arizona, whose name
we were unable to ascertain, went fish
ing down on Cnlverwell's wharf, be
tween four and five o'clock in the even
ing. He had been fishing but a short
time when he drew up on the wharf an
ordinary-sized black bottle. ne was
not frightened at the bottle, but he was
wonderfully perplexed as to what had
" bitten," and how and by whom the
bottle had been attached to his line
about a foot above the hook. The
miner called out, and several other per
sons who were fishing near him ran to
see the wonderful catch. An examina
tion showed thot there was a devil-fish
inside the bottle, and that one of its
arms extended out of the neck, and was
firmly entwined around the lino. The
devil-fish had probably crawled into the
bottle when young, and finding it a
nice, comfortable residence, he had
committed the indiscretion tf remain
ing there until ho had grown so largo
he could not get out. Ha had grown to
nearly tne size of his glass house, and,
in fact, was rather cramped for room.
The miner was very much elated over
his prize, and, in spite of the protesta
tions of the crowd, ho broke the bottle
to get a better view of the monster.

The Cranberry Crop.
The entire crop of cranberries raised
last year in the United States was near
ly three hundred thousand bushels, of
which New Jersey produced about one
third, and the remainder was divided
among the States of Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Indiana, Michigan, and one or two dis
tant States. The crop of the Cape Cod
plantations in 1871 was upwards of
ninety thousand bushels alone ; but
last year, owing to the ravages of the
worm, it only reached fifteen thousand
bushels. The present year's crop is es
timated at seventy-five thousand bush
els, which is considered a fair average
yield. The western crop, which last
year amounted to quite one hundred
and fifty thousand bushels, this season,
owing to various causes, Js expected to
fall off about one-half; while that of
New Jersey will reao'j tin figures of
last year, namely, one hundred thou
sand bushels, and may overrun those
figures.
A benevolent individual in St. Paul

Colonel Crlokley'i Horse.
I have never been able to ascertain
the origin of the quarrel between the
Crickleys and the Drakes. They had
lived within a mile of each other for
five years, and from the first of their
acquaintance there had been a mutual
feeling of dislike between the two fam
ilies. Then some misunderstanding
about the bonndry of their farms re
vealed the latent flame, and Colonel
Crickley having followed a fat buck all
one afternoonVand wounded him, came
up to him and fonnd old Drake aud his
sons cutting him up.
This incident added fuel to the flame,
and from that there was nothing the
two families did not do to annoy eaoh
other.
One evaning, Mr. Drake, the elder,
was returning home with his " pocket
full of rocks " from Chicago, whither
he had been to dispose of a load of
grain. Sam Barstow was with him on
the wagon, and as they approached the
grove which intervened between them
and Mr. Drake's house, he observed to
his companion, " What a beautiful
mark Crickley's old roan is 'over yon
der r
"Hang it!" muttered Drake, "so
it is."
The horse was standing under some
trees about twelve rods from the road.
InvoluntarilyDrake stoppedjhis team.
He glanced furtively around, then, with
a queer smile, the old hunter took up
his rifle from the bottom of his wagon,
and raising it to his shoulder, drew a
sight on the Colonel's horse.
"Beautiful I" he muttered, with the
air of a man resisting a powerful
temptation. " I could drop old roan
so easy."
"Shoot!" suggested Sam Barstow,
who loved fun in any shape.
" No, no ; 'twouldn't do," said the
old hunter, glancing around him again.
"I won't tell," said Sam.
" Wal, I don't shoot this any way,
tell or no tell. The horse is too nigh.
If he was fifty rods off instead of twelve,
so there'd be a bare possibility of mis
taking him for a deer, I'd let fly. As it
is, I'd give the Colonel five dollars for
a shot."
At that moment the Colonel himself
stepped from behind a large oak, not
half a dozen paces distant, and before
Drake.
" Well, why don't you shoot?"
The old hunter stammered, in some
confusion : " That you, Colonel ? I
I was tempted to j and as I said, I'll
give a 'V for one pull."
" Say an X' and it's a bargain."
Drake felt for his rifle and looked at
old roan.
" How much is the horse worth ?" he
muttered in Sam's ear.
"About fifty."
"Gad, Colonel, I'll do it. Here's
you X'"
The Colonel pocketed the money,
muttering : " Hanged if I thought you
would take me up !" .
W ith high glee the old hunter put a
fresh cap on his rifle, and standing up
in the wagon took a close sight at old
roin.
Sam Barstow chuckled. The Colonel
put his hand before his face and chuck
led too. Crack went the rifle. The
hunter tore out a terriblo oath, which I
will not repeat. Sam was astonished.
The Colonel langhed.. Old roan never
stirred. Drake stared at his riflo with
a look as black as Othello's.
" What's the matter with you, hey?
Fus time you ever sarved me quite
such a trick, 1 swar !
And Drake loaded the piece with
great wrath and indignation.
"People said you'd lost your knack
of shooting," observed the Colonel, in
a cutting tone of satire.
" "J,'ho said so ? It's a lie !" thunder'
ed Drake. "I can shoot
" A boss at ten rods ! Ha ! ha !"
Drake was livid.
"Look yere, Colonel, I can't stand
that," he began.
" Nevermind, the horse can," sneered
the Colonel.
"I'll risk you."
Grinding his teeth, Drake produced
another ten dollar bill.
" Here !" he grawled. "I'm bound
to have another shot any way."
"Crack away," cried the Colonel,
pocketing the note.
Drako did crack away with deadly
aim too but the horse did not mind
the bullet in the least. To the rage
and unutterable astonishment of the
hunter, old roan looked him in the face
as if lie rather liked the fun.
" Drake, "cried Sam, "you are drunk
A horse at a dozen rods oh, my eyes !"
your thundered the excited Drake.
"lhe bullets were hollow, I'll swear,
The man lies who says I can't shoot.
Last week I cut ofT a goose's head at
fifty rods, and kin do it agin. By the
ijoiu narry, uoionei, you can laugh,
but I'll bet now thirty dollars that I
can unrig down old roan at one shot,
lhe wager was readily accepted. The
stakes were placed in Sam's hands,
Elated with the idea of winning his two
tens, und making an " X " in the bar
gain, Mr. Drake carefully selected a
periect uan and buckskin patch, and
loaded his rifle.
A minute later Drake was driving
inrougu mo grove the most enraged,
tne most desperate of men. llis rifle,
innocent victim of his ire, lay with
broken stock on the bottom of the
wagon. Sam Barstow was too seared to
laugh.
Meanwhile the Colonel was rolling
convulsed with mirth, and old roan was
standing undisturbed under the tree.
When Drake reached home, his sons,
discovering his ill-humor and the mu
tilated condition of his rifle-stock, has
tened to arouse his spirits with a piece
of news which they were sure would
make uim dance with ioy.
" Clear out !" growled the angry man,
" I don t want to hear any news ; get
away or 1 11 knock one of you down.
" But father, it's such a trick !"
" Hang you and your tricks."
" Played off on the Colonel."
" On the Colonel," cried the old man,
beginning to be interested. " Gad. if
you've played the Colonel a trick, let's
near it.
"Well, father, Jed and I, this after
noon, went out for deer "
" Hang the deer come to the trick.'
" Couldn't And any deer, and thought
we must shoot something ; so Jed
banged away at tho Colonel s old roan
shot liim dead,"
" Shot old rouu ?" thundered the old
man. " By the Lord Harry, Jed, did
you shoot the Colonel's boss ?"
" I didn't do anything else."
"And then," pursued Jed, confident
the joke part of the story must please
his father, "Jim and I propped the
hoss up and tied his head up with u
cord, and left him standing under the
tree exactly as if he was alive. Ha, ha !
fancy the Colonel going to catch him I
Ho, ho, ho I wasn't it a joke ?"
Old Drake's head fell upon his breast.
Ho felt his empty pocket-book and
looked at his rifle.
Then in a rueful tone he wh'spered
to his boys ;
" Tea. boys, it'a a joke I But if you
ever tell of it or if yon do, Sam Bar
stow I'll Bkin you aliye. By the Lord
Harry, boys, I've been shooting at that
dead hoss half an hour at ten dollars a
shot."
A Comedian's Elopement.
It has been many years since we first
saw Owens, says a writer in the Wash
ington Chronicle, Then he Was the
handsomest man on the stage, with a
superb ond graceful figure, fine fea
tures, and a glorious crowning of golden-brown
hair, which his eccentricity
caused him to cover, whenever on the
stage, with a fiery red wig. At that day
actors and actresses, however high they
might stand in their own profession,
rarely attained to any high social posi
tion. During an engagement at the
Baltimore Museum he fell in love with
and courted the beautiful Miss Wor
fiold, the acknowledged belle and lead
er in the aristocratic world of that city
famed for its beautiful women and de
licious terrapin ! Owens' benefit was
announced, and the Museum was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity, for the hand
some young actor was an immense favo
rite with the theatre-goers. A long
delay followed the last notes of the
overture; the band again began to
play a half and then an hour, when the
manager appeared and stated to the
crowd that their money would be re
funded at the door, Mr. Owens being
unable to appear. The scene which
followed cannot be described. The
next morning the fashionable world was
shaken as by an earthquake, for the an
nouncement went forth that the beauti
ful Miss Warfield had eloped with
Owens, and her cousin, Miss ,
with a fellow-actor of the comedian.
How the knowing ones talked ! But
years came and went; Owens and his
lovely wife remained, as they still do, a
moBt devoted couple; fair children came
to bless the union, and to-day who says
aughtlnit that it has been a happy mar
riage ?
A Strangely Remarkable Man.
In the trial of Marshal Bazaine there
is one person, Kegnier, who has a
prominent part to sustain as a witness,
and concerning whose position and can
duct during the war even Paris is ex
pressing surprise. Eegnier was born
in Paris in 1822, and after having re
ceived a very imperfect education tried
law, medicine, and magnetism, and
failed to reach success in either. And
still this is the man who, as the French
authorities believe, rose to tho surface
most inopportunely in the midst of the
most serious events, and whoso fatal
intervention was distilled to draw Mar
shal Bazaine into the most guilty re
solutions, btrange though it may seem,

in holding communication with Bis-

act in the case at all, and without other
influence to gain him admission to the
