The following, by a correspondent of the New York Farmers' Club •will furnish in formation desired by many at this season l see in the papers a great many inquiries about the best method of making a small ice house. I want to give my experience for the benefit of the thousands of small farmers who need plenty of ice, and are not aware how cheap a luxury it is. Several years ago I built me an ice house on the back end of my wood shed, twelve feet square on the outside, walls fifteen inches thick, and , filled it with pine sawdust, a board floor with sawdust a foot thick under it, and well under-drained; a floor over head and filled in with sawdust between it and the roof; the door was double and filled in with sawdust. I congratulated myself on having got everything so snug and tight that no heat could get in, and'ex pected my ice would last until the winter. I filled it with the finest ice -;;and to make the matter doubly sure I covered 'it with sawdust. It lasted until the middle of July, so that just , when I needed it most it was gone. I was told it needed ventilation. I put in a tube fonr Inches square and tried it another year; it kept searce the same. I then tore out the floor, overhead and left out a small 'window fifteen inches by two feet; it then kept until September first. A year.or two`'ago, I had my attention called VO' an foe house built by , a farmer near me, Which was simply a bin made with rough boards, sixteen 'feet square, and roofed over, leaving, a large opening at the front and , sides. He said his ice kept per fectly until the next winter. He put on a layer of`sawdust about a fciot thick on the giounct, then stacked the ice snugly in the centre, eighteen or twenty inches frond the walla, and then filled in with sawdust, and up over the top a foot or more thick. Last winter,•before filling my ice house, I determined to try his method. I accord- ingly tore out the 'inside wall, and shov•- eled out the sawdust, then filled by stack ing it snugly in the centre fifteen or twenty inches from the wall. This space filled in with pine sawdust, and covered the whole over the top a foot thick or more. I left out the window before mentioned, and took doWn Iv door and left' it all open, so the sun can shine in there every day. Now for results. At the present time I have an abundance of ice, and the, cakes seem to come out as square and perfect as when they went in, seemingly nothing lacking exceptin. b what is used out. lam satisfied how to build an ice house. FATTENING FOWLS. Though in general fowls, when in health, will become. sufficiently fat by having plenty of foal _with air and exercise, yet they are sometimes fatted for market by, 'keeping them in' donfinement, with abun- Amoe of food and little light, so that, in fact; they have nothing to do but eat. It, is a common practice with some to coop their fowls for a week or two, under the :notion of improving them for the table, and increasing their fat; a plan which, how .ever, seldom succeeds, since the fowls gen erally pine for the loss of liberty, and Slighting their food, lose, instead of gain gditional flesh. Such a period is, in fact, 'too short fOr i them to become accustomed to confinement. It takes several weeks to l'atten fowls 'confined' in coops. ' The pre vention of light; by inclining fowls to a'con stant state of repose except when moved by the appetite for food,. promotes and accele rates obesity—but such a state cannot be a state of health, nor can the flesh of animals so fed equal in flavor, nutriment and salu brity, that of the Same species fed in a more natural way. Ebonomy and Market inter ests may, perhaps, be the:best answered by •the place of darkness and close confinement; but a feeder for his own tableiof deli 'sate taste, and , ambitious of furnishing his own board with the choicest and most salu brious viands, will declaxe for the natural mode of feeding. TO PRESERVE ORCHARDS. Nathan Shotwell, of Elba, Genessee Co., New 'York, thinks the cause of the present appearance lecay and death in so many orcbards l is oviing entirely to neglect and bad management., He thinks a majority of orchards in this' country have that neglect ed appearance ;'some are.not pruned at all, others are carelessly 'haggled, and large limbs are left with protruding stumps .that cannot heal over. Orchards are ploughed and the roots torn, and many farmers Who have access toleaves, muck, saw-dust, &c., 'never mulch ieir trees, nor remove the rongli bark which furnishes a harbor for insects. It should be scraped off with a hoesand the tree washed with strong ley. An Orchard planted by my father, and, still in ;vigorons growth and bearing, has not been . ploughed for thirty years. It has generally been pastured with swine until apples began to ripen. 'Manure frequently put to 'the - tooth' of ttie trees destroying the toughness of the sod, and making the soil Lime and spongy, and the scions (the last year's growth) that were large enough for grafting, have nearly all been removed yearly for more-than forty years--.N. Y Tribune. FOREST LEAVES. If gathered in the fall and placed in the yards, or mixedin large heaps with ferment able substances, forest leaves will, in a short time, .deeay, and become excellent manure. The leaves of all trees contain phosphates and other valuable elements of vegetable nutrition of a mineral character, as well as the ingredience.of humus. In order, however, to facilitate the deeomposi lion of the fibrous substances of the leaf, it is well to mix a liberal quantity of lime or ashes with the mass, and to see that it is kept moist until decomposition commences, unless the putrescent ingredients of the heap are sufficient to effect the object. Brakes, mosses `small bushes, and, indeed, 'all succulent and easily decomposable vegi - table substances, are of no value in compost- They ~decay rapidly, and, leave be hind a residuum ,which is found to be sin 4:gularly salutary to almost every description of crop.—New .England Farmer. : , STAGGERS IN HORSES. Staggers is a general term applied to several diseases of horses. Mad or sleepy staggers is inflammation° f the.brain, a rare but fatal, complaint, marked by high fever, a staggering gait, violent, convulsing strug gling, usually terminating in stupor, and treated by bleeding, full doses of physic, and cold water to the head. Grass or stomach staggers is acute indigestion, usu ally o ccasioned by overloading the stomach and bowels with tough hard grass vetches, or clover, or a full meal of wheat, or other indigestible food. It is most common in summer and autumn, is indicatid by pairedvappetite, distended atromen, dull aspect, unsteady gait, and is remedied, by full doses of purgative medicine, such as six drachms of aloes' and a drachm of calo nig rubbed down together and given in a quart of thin, boiled gruel. Freqnent clysters, with hard rubbing and hot water to the belly, are likewise useful. When the dullness increases, stimulants should be freely given.--British Agriculturalist. TEA GROWING AT THE SOUTH. For some ten years previous to the rebel lion, we heard now and again of tea grow ing at the South, especially in South Caro lina. And this item, which may be true, is going the rounds of the papers :—"A man who has been cultivating tea as an ex periment, since 1860, writes to the Savan nah Herald that most of his plants grow finely, that his tea is of good quality, and that the tea will do quite as well in Georgia as in its native country. The plants' re quire to culture sifter the third *year. If well, taken care of, by that time they will be large enough to commence the manufac ture of tea from them. The yield to the acre is from three to four hundred pounds, and the plants produce good crops for eighteen or twenty years. The growth of tea is not affected by dry or wet' weather, or by storms, and insects will not mo lest the plants." A BLIND FARMER. The Vermont,. Record says that a Joel Ordway;of Chelsea, Vt.,. who many years ago, owing to a premature discharge of powder while blasting rooks, beeame total ly blind, has taken- excellent care of his garden, which is more free from weeds than most gardens cultivated by gardeners who are blessed with, eyesight. In addi tion to this, he alone has cultivated an acre and a half of potatoes. He hes had, three, sons in the army, one of Whom died in the service. TO START A BALKY HORSE. The Ohio Farmer says,:-".Fill his mouth with dirt or' gravel from the road, and he'll go. Now the .philosophy of the .thing is, it gives him. something else to think about. We have tried it a hundred times, and it has never failed." it; tudiannuo. THE DARK SHADOW. [The following, from the Christian. Re . gister, a leading organ of. Unitarianism, in this country, is of singular valuer as a vir tual concession of the stern truth of huMan depravity, and of such need, of •a •Divinn remedy as has no logical landing except 'in £he doctrine of a full Redeemer.] Mr. M.erivale, in his lectures which have recently been published; assigns as one of the 'chief causes of the . conversion of the . Romans to Christianity, that it' met the feelincr in the human breast which intheolo: gy is termed " the conviction of, sin." This, however, is not simply a theologicalphrase, but a part of the profoundest religious ex perience; and Christianity has had the most deep and enduring hold over men, be cause it has placed greater emphasis "on this, makes provisions to lighten its burden, and points out the way of deliveruneo., "The fact that such.' a feeling, exists, is admitted even by such pure theistic writers its -Miss. Cobbe; but it needs no endorsement from• any, for it is one of those iiiiVersal eiperi -ences which spring up out of our actual hue . SOATOW atrain. • Libe - 41 Christians in their recoil from, the gloom .of a ghostly. religion,jn main taming more cheerful views of imman nature,. are in danger, sometimes, of , over looking this truth, or, rather, of letting it' fall into"the backgronnd..'And the come.' Irene° is, their conviction of the need of their own and the World's , great change from sin to holiness is feeble. Now this phase of experience is the first step towards a truly experiMental Christianity yin the individual heart, or a stimulant to labor for the World:eV:generation. If there is no sin in the individual;then there isno need of repentance or change;,if there are no evils or wrongs in society, there can be no intense activity in reforming it. We do not think it is enough simply to wish to improve. The - Gospel of Christ recognizes, indeed, the need of culture. In the largest sense itr iiieducitional. 'lt bids the disciples to forget the things which are be hind, and to press forward even unto per= feetion. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect!' Thus its capstone is progress. But there is a preliminary stage. The great mass of men are livingin disobedience to God's laws. They are selfish and pas sionate. They follow, more or less, the promptings of unholy desires. They are without the root of principle. Many cheat, lie and steal. The world abounds in wicked ness. :Without drawing upon the imagina tion, but painting life as it really is, we at once see that there are dark shadows of guilt. The conviction of sin must arise in all thoughtful, serious men. It sometimes flashes—throwing up the blaze of remorse-- even in the most hardened villian. Women whose outward 'lives are correct, and who seem to the world pure and good, in their higher vision of the divine, are elo_ filled with the perception of the gulf between them and the infinite moral loveliness of God, as to' be tormented with the convic tion of their separation from Him. • This conviction of sin varies, with the tempera ment, intensity of religious aspirations or degree of guilt. Yet in'some form it is a common experience. Not only : David and THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1865. Paul, Augustine and Wesley, but Channing and Parker, each in his way recognizes the great fact of evil in the heart and world. Sin casts its shadow over every soul. Theo logians differ in defining the nature of sin and in their estimate of the means by which it is to be overcome; but the fact of its existence goes down deeper than,any speculation or dogma, and finds its proof in the universal spiritual experience. To ignore it is to ignore human nature in its profoundest phases of agony, struggle and woe. We must, then, recognize this feature of the universal religious experience. What ever theologians may say of it, however philosophers may explain it,—the human heart wrestling in the throes of anguish, writhing in bitter remorse, or in lighter manifestations troubled with compunctions of conscience, testifies to its reality. And in, .proportion as this conviction flashes up will men see by its light their own moral deformity. This is the first stage of a new spiritual life. As long as men feel they are all right, there will be no motive for effort. If there is no wickedness in the heart, if there are no wrongs in the world, why be troubled? All is going on, well: There is no need of any change. This complacency is the pathway to moral 'death. There -is no moral condition soAtal as this to all Spiritual progress. Only as we feel pro foundly the, conviction of Sin, will we put forth endeavors after a new and 'better life. The rehgion,of Christ is very, specific on this point. The first address of Jesua , w "Repent ye--be ye reconstructed—for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Further on he says ' " Ye must be born again." --That is, ;.a moral, transformation must 'be wrought out in the soul and the whele drift, of the Gospel is to-show men how„th.ey can work, oat this radical change, and become pos4 sessed in its fulness of the spirit of God. Moreover, each individual soul is thus ad-' dressed. - Primarily, Christianity desls with each man personally. Religion 'is a per sonal thing. It is for you, reader. You are a child of God. .You owe him obeiii ence. You need , to cast off every,sin and be brought into. right feelings towards all men and right relationship with God. •The first step is to feel the 'need of a 'change, and this comes from a personal conviction of sin. "An Invalid," writing for the N yF Observer, .makes the following suggestions' A delicate Oubjebt fru-criticism, since the experiences of the departing are very di versified, andoadinit of diversified,• treat ment. But is notta practice so 'prevalent, as obituary sketches show this to be, wor thy of consideration. ? For myself, in read ing these interrogatories, sometimes their number, sometimes 'their 'character, and sometimes the motive which seems to prompt them, impress me unpleasantly. :Consiier what an effort-,it may cost the -patient, in, acute distress, or deathly' pros tration, even , to listen. to the question Qonsider, that, for .many reasons, it may task him, tofind a fitting answer, and to utter it when found. , • Consider the disquietude he feels when conscious that his reply has been imperfect or inaccurate and he has no strength to amend' it: _. .

We'aroused her several times, but finally, about sunset, a friend coining 'in 'asked her if she kite* him, and 'she re "qt;esk.but don't•ask. me.' She made the. same 'reply: :to .several . questions, and rtlien added,i‘ 1 am so _tired, I am so.tired.' " ':She-Avas evidently,exhausted,".. yet we aroused her several times and put several questions. Was this right? The late Dr. Cutler, in his last illness,' , M63,).made one deliberate and extended expression of his mind, and, subiequently, as one seemed . expecting some renewed testimony to the praise of Divine grace, he only uttered the words; "..1 . have said my say—l• have no wish to change The,Rev: Samuel Whelpley,,olhis death bed,.

James'L. Sloss, Florence, Ala bama, August 5, 1811, when, a. few • mo ments before he expired, one of his physi cians began to converse with him, suddenly exclaimed, "Be silent, my brother, wish to commune with my Saviour!' "I shall say no more," "I shall say no more," are the memorable words with which Mrs. Abel Stevens entered her last sleep. Please, good friends, be considerate in questioning the dying. A travelling correspondent of the C%ris tian Intelligencer thus characterizes, the old settled regions of the western part of this State : Throughout the country parts, one thing is noticeable—the strict observance of, the Sabbath, and due regard for the ordinances of religion—evidently the result of -„careful Protestant training. Nearly a century ago a devoted Moravian missionary went forth as the herald of the Cross, and with great zeal sought to instruct the Indians in the knowledge of Jesus , ; but later, two mire of years, some two or three self-sacrificing ministers of the. Scotch Presbyterian Church selected this section of country as their special missionary field; and the result is to-day look where you will, Western Penn- QUESTIONING THE DYING.. " In secret silence of the mind, My heaven, and there my God I find.!' WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. sylvania is essentially Presbyterian. This fact is patent to the visitor. Here and there a Lutheran, German ReforMed, or Methodist church may be seen ; but on all sides you find Reformed Presbyterians, Se ceders, or United Presbyterians, with a goodly number of Old and New School Presbyterians ; and when combined, con stituting no mean body, so far as numbers are concerned. They can now be counted by scores of thousands; and I feel for the moment desirous of commending the zeal of the Scotch and Irish Presbyterians who settled Western Pennsylvania. Many of them yet live, as noble exponents of Pro testant truth. Indeed, but little sympathy for the Roman Church is to be found here. Protestant from conviction, as well as in name, they live to exhibit the life-giving power of Divine truth in a walk at once consistent and honoring to the Master whom they profess to serve. Popery, it is true, is still boldly raising up'its hydra front in our land; but with the exception of Pittsburg, no large -bodies of Roman Catholics are to be found in the region alluded to, TACT IN SEEKING SOULS, Every Christian should study the art .of leading sinners to Jesus.

The murderer was cold and obdurate; excused his crimes by quoting the example of David, Solomon, and other Scripture ch.aracters. In fine, he said, "I don't know that I have much to repent of." ~ This from a murderer was terrible. The , physician left, his. cell, thinking the case hopeless. Anxious, however, to'do all he Could; he invited a dear friendan 'aged, devoted man—to visit -him.

Emerson has told us in ruaaed .verse of the'. embattled farmers" who, on the 19th April, 1775, by the bridge at Concord, "Fired a shot heard round the world." No country having great commercial in terests can engage in civil war without More or' less - convulsing . the wOrld. The 'effects, physically and morally, are like-a universal earthquake. The London corres pondent of the New. York Times ,makes the following statement :--77 " The close of the war in America has been a great disaster. to Bombay, in the East Indies. It reminds one of the philo sophical experiment of striking an ivory -ball, and seeing another fly off from the op posite side. - Bombay; on the opposite side of the world, feels the concussion of the sudden cessation of hostilities more than London. Of conrse, London's turn is coming, for the failure of half the commer cial houses in Bombay cannot but affect their English correspondents. The rise in, cotton, and the immense influx of money to pay for it, had caused such a rever of spec ulation as the East had never known. All kinds of joint stock companies Were formed, and shares which cost five hundred pounds went, up to fifteen thousand pounds. The news of General Lee's surrender sent down the price of cotton one-half, and exploded all those wonderful speculations. The Plasm are in mourning—their sun is dark ened.
