Yet there is quite as tl ferenec as there b, in the fl, fowls. Fowls- that are fed of kinds of cereal grain furnish n11)- 1 eggs than those that subsist oi l oats and buckwheat. \V heat, dough or bread, always makes eggs. C.

In order, the have good eggs, the fowls shout fed and provided with un abut fine gravel, that they may b grind and prepare their food 11 lion." j. In regard to raising chicken: , Mr. Be ment says: "It a fixed fact that most old women who live in cottages,. know better how to rear chickens than any other persons; they are more successful, and this may be traced to the fact that they keep but few fowls, and these fowls are allowed to run freely in the house, to roll in the ashes, to approach the fire, and to pick up any crumbs or eatable mor'scls they may find on the ground, and are nursed xitlf the greatest . care and indulgence. By warmth. and Judi cious feeding, a hen may be made to lay as many eggs in two years as she would under ordinary circumstances in three; • and every one knows, or ought to know, that a fowl fatted at two years old, is much more •tender :aid palatable than one that is older." - PREPARATION FOR LEATHER. The Shoe and Leather Reporter trans latea from the Gerber Courier, the follow-• ing recipe for a preparation which is said to be excellent for boots, harness leather, and belting, giving pliability, softn6es, and congequent durability : Melt 7 enures of lard, add 1 ounce rosin, and stir well together when both are melted, In another vessel dissolve 3/ ounces of good hard soap in a quart (or 21 pounds) of clean rain water. When dissolved and heated to the boiling point add the' pre pared lard and rosin, boil gently a few minutes, and it is ready for applition. The preparation is easily and ch aply made, and will doubtless render the leather pliable, even If it does not 'turn water, of which we are in doubt, EXTRAORDINARY FAUN A SINGLE GRAIN. Mr. Joshua Mutter, of Emmittiburg District, in this county, informed 'us a few days ago, that he planted a single grain of Italian Oats in his garden in 1863, which yielded Will 278 grains. He continued to plant the product each succeeding year, and in 1866 raised the extraordinary quantity of twenty-eight bushels and one peck from that single grain. alr.

Johu Taylor was licensed, when a youth of twenty-one, to practice at the bar. He was poor but educated, and possessed ex traordinary genius. He married a beau ty, who afterwards deserted him for another. On the 9th of April, 1840, the court house in Clarksville, Texes, was crowded to overflowing. An exciting case was about to' he tried. .Ovorge Hopkins, a wealthy planter, had offered a gross in sult to Mary Ellison, the young and beau tiful wife of his overseer. The husband had threatened to chastise him for the outrage, when Hopkins went to El lit>on's house and shot him in his own door.— The murderer was arrested and bailed to answer the charge. This occurrence pro duced great excitement, and Hopkins, in order to turn the tide of public indigna tion, had 'circulated reports against her character, and she sued him for slander.

Prentiss, ofl New Or leans, by enormous fees, had been retain ed to defend Hopkins. Hopkins was acquitted. The Texas lawyers were overwhelmed by, their op ponents. It was alight of a dwarf against giants. The slander snit was for the 10th, and the throng of speetatorsgrew in numbers as in excitement. Public opinion was set ting in for Hopkins; his money had pro cured witnesses who served iik powerful advocates. When the slander ease was called, Mary Ellison was left without an attorney—all had withdrawn. speak, " Have yon no counsel ?" inquired Judge Mill,, looking kindly at the plain tiff: "No, sir; they have all deserted me, and I am too poor to employ ally nfore," replied the beautiful 3lzmly, bursting into tears. "In such a case, will not some chival rous member of the profession volun t .er?" said the Judge, glancing around the bar. The t iirty lawyer , : tvere silent.

The first sensation was turned into laughter when a tall, gaunt, spectrld fig ure elbowed his way through the crowd, and placed himself within the bar. llis clothes looked so shabby that the Court hesitated to let the case proceed under his management. "Has your name been entered on the rolls of the State:"' demanded the Judge. "It is immaterial," answered the‘trim ger, his thin, bloodless lips curling up widen. sneer. "Here is my license, train the highest tribunal in America?" and he handed the Judge a broad parchment. The trial went on: Ile suffered the witnesses to tell their story. and he allowed the defense to lead otf. Ashley spoke first, followed by Pike and Pr.intiss.

The exeltement of the crowd was becoming tremendous. Their united life and soul seemed tehaug upon the burn ing tongue of the stranger, and he in spired them with the power of his pas sions.

His forehead glowed like a heated furnace, hi. 4 countenance was haggard like that of a maniac, and ever and anon he flung his king bony, arms on high as if grasping after thunderbolts.
