TKPIAK OAK*.—One and a half cups of flour, the same of meal and milk, one-half cup of sugar, butter tho siae of an egg, a teaspoon fill of soda, and two toasjK>onfuls of cream tartar. Ft RKrrcn* POLISH.— Make a mix ture of three parts linseed oil, and one part spirits of turpentine. It not only covers the disfigured surface, but re stores wood to its original color, and leaves a lustre upon the surface. Put OH with a woolen cloth, and rub with woolen. BAKED INDIA* Pronrso.—Scald a quart of milk, stir into it seven table spoonfuls of sifted Indian meal, a tea spoonful of salt, a teaeupful of molas ses, and a desert spoonful of ginger. If you want wliey injur in a little cold milk after it is mixed. Bake three or four hours. How TO MAKR Arjn.* Dmrum — First procure good sour, juicy apples, Kre aud oore, leaving them in halve*, t all your ingredient* ready before beginning to mix your dough ; sugar, soda, sour milk, lard, salt, fiour and apples. Now make dough as for soda biscuits, only adding a little more lard, to make it shorter. Take o bit of dough out ou the kneading board, and after kneading, roll this as for pie crust. Then cnt iu nieces long enough to cover an apple, allowing for lapping the edge*. Put iu two of your apple halves, sweeten according to taste, and cover apple and sugar with dough. Lay the dumplings in your bread pan, smooth the side up, first haviug your pan well-buttered. Proceed in this manner until you get your pan well filled, sure it is a largo-aiaed pan, for they w.ll go off like hotcakcal, then place a"small Bit of butter ou the top of each dumpling, sprinkle a handful of sugar over all. then place in a mod erate oven, and allow them to bake or e honr. Serve (not too hot) with pud ding sauce, or with cream and sugar. How lo Build a ltound Star*. The proper way to build a round •tack, whether of hay, straw, grain, or corn-stalks, <s to begin by laying a foot deep upon the ground of old undam aged straw, hay, or folder. Iu the middle of this layer, a common buy fork should be set up, by thrusting the prongs into the ground through the straw, etc. Then, with another hay fork, whose prongs are placed closely against the handle of the upright oue, the bed is made exactly circular, con forming at the circumference with the radius of the circle which the sec ond fork represents. If corn stalks or corn-fodder is to be stacked, a few sheaves are placed upright in the cen ter, upon their butts, and others are placed against them, leaning slightly, and gradually sloping more and more as each row of sheaves is placed around the central core, until the circumfer ence of the stack is reached. When this occurs, another lot of sheaves or bandies is placed in the center, slop ing somewhat toward the ontsiJe, and another layer of sheaves is placed on the stack. There is no need to spread the stack. As it settles, the pressure from the center will spread the stack at the point sufficiently to cast off the rain and drip from the sides. The narrow ID g is a very important part of the building. Each layer of sheaves is now to be placed within the center, more nearly upright than the last, until the last few sheaves in the center are perfectly upright, and the stack is finished off with a collar of sheaves, placed around one central one and bound firmly with a hard, twisted straw rope. The stack should be tapped off with sheaves placed butts uppermost, and well-trodden down and made compact. Rain will ran off from a covering made in this manner, find ing no lodgment in the joints, from which the leaves spring, as it will do if the sheaves are placed with the butts downward. The collar which finishes off the peak of the stack, most of course ba placed with the bntts downward, as the stack terminates in a point closely baund. When hay or straw is st*cke<i, the builder should stand in the center all the time, and keep that part always the highest. Then the central portion will settle less than the eaves, and the stack will shed water, and althongh water should penetrate in places, it will always find a coarse toward the out side "of the stack, and the center can never be injured. If on the contrary, the builder stands, as he frequently does, upon the verge of the stack, fol lowing the pitchers around, the center will settle the most and will be hollow. II water then enters, as it will almost infallibly do, it penetrates to the cen ter, and'finds its way through the stack to the bottom and* the contents are spoiled. Too llh Pbyalcktna. There is nothing respecting which mankind is more credulous, than the effect of medicinea indiscriminately ad ministered to their own species, and to domestic animals. If poultry are sick, they are doeed with the first thing that somebody recommends, without en deavoring to ascertain what the ailment really is. Then if, in spite of the drugs the bird gets well, the medicine gets the credit, and acquaintances are ad vised to administer blue-pill, jalap, ool ehicum, cayenne, carbolic acid, or whatever it happens to be. But if the fowl dies under treatment, it was not the fault of the drug, but the bird waa too far gone before treatment, that's all. " Nature did it." Wedonotcon demn all doctoring of poultry. We hope that in all instances, where it will eiy, it will be intelligently performed, at it will not pay in ordinary instances to fuaa with a sick fowi, because of its small value, even when the disease and the appropriate remedy are both dear ly understood. If the medicine can l>e mixed with the food, ao as to dose the whole flock at onoe, but little pains taking is required. But where there is one patient, and it must be caught and held by one person, while another forces a pill down his throat, better off with hia head and have done with it. Still, this method, though convenient, is not very scientific, and will not he popular with those poultry keepers who have specimens, in these days of rare breeds and high prices, worth 810 to SIOO each. When fowls are worth as much as sheep or cattle, it will pay to upend as much time in doctoring the one as the other. Bat let as go slowly and surely, and not drag nntil we know what the complaint is, and what effect the medicine will produce. The notion that the prescription will do no harm if it fails to do good, is mischievous, be cause apt to be false. To Preserve Grapes. A lady from Westfleld, Pa., sends the following : First, pick off all unsound or unripe grapes, and Lay the clnstera in an empty room on papers until dry, for in all packages some will be crashed and dampen others. Then any empty crate will do to pack them in. First a layer of grapes, then a thickness of pa per, so as to exclnde the air and keep them separate, then grapes and then paper, and so on until yon have three or four layers—no more than four. If the box is to hold more, pat in a parti tion to support the others that are to be packed. We packed hundreds of pounds thus last year, and they kept perfectly until the middle of March, and, had the supply not been exhaust ed, they could have been kept much longer. i Chicken Cholera. Chicken cholera is caused by several things. Damp, unclean quarters, im pure water or a scarcity of water, indi gestion produced from want of gravel, overfeeding or unwholesome food, aDd too much confinement will each and all produoe it. The removal of the cause is the first remedy ; the next is to give a teaspoonfol of castor oil, followed by a pill of castile soap and black pepper, several times a day, with boiled sweet milk and bread for feed, and clean water, in which a little copperas haa been dissolved, for drink. Prevention consists in close attention to the wel fare of the fowls and the occasional use of all these remedies. A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE. Rttramillnary rnlAUtncnl n! a Itrfum— A Trnant llntteanil l>lio< -il--A W'llt'i Minlnill). The bigamist a puij by the I name of Smith. Ho waa connected with tho Junction Hotel, lifyotte, InJ., and had resided there for two or three years. He has conducted him self in nn exemplary manner, and m a few months after his arrival there won the hand of a worthy young lady in marriage. They lived happily, and ! have one or two children. A few days ago wife No. 1. accompanied by a hand some youth of fifteen (.her eldest sou), dropped iu quite unexpectedly to tea. Her husband had left home in Ohio two years ago, to find a location where the family might grow up with the j country, hut somehow lie forgot to write, and the deserted wife had well nigh despaired of ever aeemg him agaiu, when his whereal>oiit were re vealed to her iu the remarkable coinci dence of a dream. She saw iu a xtsiou a building so much like the Junction Hotel that, although she had seen the house but once, it was vividly recalled to mind. In one of the windows of this hotel, as shown iu the dream, sat the long lest husband with an infant babe iu hi* i arms. She was so impressed that she started the next week for Lafavcttc, and, strange to say, immediately on leaving the tram ou the afteruoou of her arrival, alie saw her husband and the babe in precisely the same attitude as revealed to liet in the dream. There was a some. The first impulse of the too much married runaway was to deny tua iden tity ; but the absurdity of the proceed ing was so manifest that he acknow ledged his guilt. He made some poor excuse in palliation of hu desertion of wile No. 1 ; and, finally, acknowledg ing his error. In-sought the forgiveness of both. "Do with mo tut you think best," said he, " I will return in an hour aud abide Tour decision." But they were rather reluctant to let him go for an hour. He was the only husband they had, and, although it was a partnership affair, they seemed a little doubtful about the propriety of letting him out of eight. So they gent ly intimated that he need not trouble liimself to retire: and, iu fact, they rather insisted that he " set right down and face the music." So he awaited their decision. The two wives with drew to the corner of the room and held a whispered consultation. Wife No. 1 was rather stern at first, and talked about the law and its penalties. She softened after awhile. Than they both took a good erv, and wife No. 2 said to wile No. 1, " 1 sup fsse you have the first claim, any way. ake* him and let me go back to my mother's." Then she sobbed violently. Wife No. 1 walked to the window, looked ont for a moment in meditation, and returning took the voung wife by the hand, and said, " No, I will not take him from yon. I had become quite accustomed to his absence, and now that 1 know the world kuows that his leaving was for no fault of mine, 1 will go back as I came. Yon are young. You Lave a young babe. I am older, and have a son well-nigh able to sup port me, and I will not interfere. Good-by to both of you," and saying this much, only this and nothing more, she left the room. bhe remained in Lafayette for two days, as though hesitating iu her mag nanimous resolve, but finally took the cars for her home near Cincinnati. She refused any further interviews, and when asked if she would not writ- aline cm her arrival home, said " No, 1 don't want to hear of yen again, and I shall change my place of residence this fall. I am very unhappy about this business. I did not deserve this at his hands, but 1 wish you wed ; so do not bother me any more." Thus is the romance of Enoeii Ardeii outdone. The New Era In Farming. The goed old days, of which we bear so much, have passed away. It is questionable whether they are to be re gretted ; more than certain thsj ate not, so far as farming ia concerned. The good old davs of one-home, happy go-lucky agriculture are indeed over. There was a time when the motto would seem to be, to do as one's father had done, until bv repeated experi ment and multiplied failures one learned better; to receive on no account any information whatever, and to keep to oneself, as much as possible, any dis covery made. The tendency now is quite opposite, and as liberal and far-sighted in policy as the other was narrow-minded and retrogressive. It is the object with farmers to facilitate inter communica tion and exchange of nsefnl knowl edge, rather than to shut out the news and keep at home the improvements. No sensible farmer feara that by an nouncing to liia neighbors methods ot getting over certain difficulties or ac complishing certain ends, ho is thna encouraging a set of men. put upon his own plane, to compete with and injure him. He knows that for every single hint given out by hiia, in return he re ceives many ; and that as he is bene fited by others it is only fair to recipro cate |s far as be is able. * The truth is, that there is ns class of men so cordially willing to impart information, so mutually helpful, so neighborly, as the farmers. This state of feeling is in turn the cause and the result of the agricultural papers, the books, the farmers' clubs and the granges. Without the generous instinct, these instruments of progress could not exist, and it is itself fostered, finally, by its own offspring.— P.ural Pros. A Swell at the Gallows. The first Earl of Holland was a great dandy, who played a prominent and not altogether reputable part in the history of his time. He was a favorite at the courts of James I. and Charles 1., but when the civil war broke out he at first sided with the parliament against the king. In an nnlncky hour he went over to the royalist side, took np anus against the Commonwealth, was defeat ed, made prisoner, put to trial, and duly sentenced to lose his head. He appeared upon the scaffold in a white satin vest and cap trimmed with silver laoe. His costly garments were the lawful perquisites of the executioner, to whom the earl said, as he approached the block : " Here, my friend, let my body and my clothes alone ; there is ten pounds for thee ; that is better than my clothes, lam cure. And when yon take up my head, do not take off my cap." Then, laying his neck upon the block, he added : " Stay, while I give the sign." After a brief prayer he stretched out his hand, saying, " Now ! now!" The word had hardly left his lips when the axe fell, and the head was severed from the body at a single stroke. The Cook. The death of Professor Blot recalls a story of •' real thrift "on the part of a domestic which wan told at the time of the course of lectures on eooksry, de livered in Boston. A lady, at her own expense, Bent her cook to the profes sor's class, and was delighted with her progress. At the end of the course she expressed to the cook her gratification at the result, and was surprised to learn that that functionary was engaged in looking for pastures new. "Why, Bridget, you are not going to leave me; if you had not intended to remain with us, I shonld not have sect yon to learn cooking." "And, indads, mum, you don't expect me to cook in the new way on the old wages." Tom.—Something of the Old-World fondness for play, and daily or weekly indulgence in it, should become habit ual among our workers. Toil would be sweeter if there were a reward at the end of it; work would be gentle when used as a means for securing a pleasure which stands closer than an old age of ease; character would be softer and richer and more child-like, when ac quired among genial, every day de lights. The all-subordinating strife for wealth, carried on with fearful straggles and constant self-denials, makes us petty, irritable and hard, TIIE ESCAPE OF BAZAINE. , TS. Trw. Ifrr of th. aifs.r, .. T.M by a ('orr*t|>w<tsnl. The true story of tho escape of Mnr ahal Basaiu# is" thus told by a French 1 correspondent : He was, like all other prisoners, kept under look ami key, and could iu all honor attempt to escape if he wished to do ai. 1 must tell you that of late his captivity had become intolerable to the prisoner. He is a man of very stout make, and one who had always been accustomed to a very great deal of exercise on horseback. Since, in May, IN?'.!, he was made a ; prisoner iu Y rsailles until now, he i had never been able to move save under the eyes of a sentinel, and to walk under their never ending supervision so disgusted him that for some time he i gave it up altogether. lie is now ■ sixty-two years of age and weighs at the very least sixteen stone To l>e!ie\o that such a man and at lus age could slip down a rope hanging over a cliff i that is nearly forty feet high is an as tonishing piece of credulity even for a I French iourualist The Marshal walked out of the door of his prison a little lie ! fore daylight ou Monday, and yet there 1 wan no one iuside the fort who was ! privy to his act or who played the traitor to the Government. The plan was very simple indeed. For some I weeks beforehand a disguise had beeu prepared by Mine. liusaiue herself, bit by bit tins was brought outside the I fort and hidden. Tho Marshal never { slept iu his bed that night, but a lay tlgure was put there to deceive the Gov ernor when he locked up for the uight. before daybreak, about 4:43 A. v., the gates of the fort were opened as usual, and some of the garrison, as is their custom, weut beyond the walls. The prisouer was dressed iu a laborer's blouse to hide his bulky figure, and carried on his back a huge sack of rub 1 bmh, as if he were going to throw it iuto the sea. The scheme succeeded because it was bald and plucky. No one for a moment could suspect that either the prisouer was not under look i and key, or that he would dream of walking coolly out of the fori. Once outside he hsu\ merely to walk down to where the boat pas waiting, get into it, ar.d be rowed to the steamer which his wife had hired [ready to take him away. It was a question of time—of minutes —whether he could get ou board before his absence was discovered, which it would sure to bo at <*> A. M., the time when he was always visited by one of the prison authorities. The r\q>e i stained with blood was hung over the parapet very late the night before, iu order to put the authorities oil a false scent, and most effectually it did so. Even now the popular belief is that Bazaine, a heavy, unwieldy man, who for more than two years has hardly taken euough exercise to maiutaiu him in ordinary health, who is, moreover, , sixty-two Tears of age, was able to scramble down a height of thirty or more leet by means of a not over stout rope, and to make his way to a IHJ.II which must have liecu dancing U|H>U the waves at the ri*k of being dash< d to pieces, so stormy was the uight, so high the wind, and so great the downfall ot rain. In the boat he fonnd a nor rela tive and his brave wife, the latter ltd 1- ing an oar and helpiug to keep the boat m its place. The rest is soon told. On board the steamer thy were watching for the boat, and when the lattei put off from the island the steamer came slowly to ward* it. In a quarter of an hour h was on boarJ, and in two hours he was on Italian gronnd. Long Battle betweeh Oxen The Augusta (Me.) Journal has the following account of a protracted battle between two oxen in that State : *' Mr. Chadwiek and Mr. Sullivan Kr akiue have a pasture in common at South China, which they use for the pasturage of cattle. 'i'hey have the present season had several jokes of cat lie in the pasture. Mr. Chadwiek ami Mr. Erskine have each an ox with a lopped or crooked horn, the right horn of one and the left horn of the other having that peculiar formation. For several days these cattle had been tuus ing ; when the other cattle came tip these were not among the number. How I many dajs they had been missing be fore search was instituted, is not defl nitelj known, but becoming alarnu-d, the owners went in quest of them. Coming to an opening in the woods, covering an area of about half an acre, Mr. ChadVick, who went in seirch, l came upon a sickeuing spectacle. The lopped horns of the oxen were clasped, snd the exhausted animals,united com pactly, stood face to face, waiting for death, having apparently given np the struggle. It is supposed that while they were engnged in play, their horns l>ecame eutaugled; failing to disconnect themselves, a terrible struggle of sev eral days took place. The open space was literally torn up, as though it bad been plowed with a sub-soil plow. When they were turned into the pas ture they were Urge, fat, aeven-fett oxen, but now tliey hare become so ema ciated and famished, that a person could almost clasp tbcm around with ! his arms. They were perfectly docile when found, but Mr. Chadwiek could not untie the knot. The horn of each | was sunk deep into the other's head, ' and it was only by calling help, and sawing the horns IT, that a separation ! could be effected. There were feater j ing sores where the horns went in. ! Thus a mortal combat, lasting eight | days, hal been gone on l>etw<eu these oxen, who in that time had not par taken of any snstenance, and perhaps hail not been able to lie down. Their jaws had to bo pried oj>en, and gruel administered to them. Their beads had been united BO closely, that their ! faces were bare to the bone. It is pos j sible the animals may live." Where to Purchase. A correspondent writes that she haH been badly swindled by an itinerant vender of dry goods, who visited her house with a large tin case. We have little sympathy for the lady, however devoid of galantry our reply may be. We have little sympathy for anybody who is swindled by trailing frauds. The place to buy anything you need is of your town or village merchant He has are putation to maintain.and it is for his interest to sell you what yon want, and to deal honorably by you. If he unintentionally defrauds you, it is to his interest to correct the error, and lie will do it, a* he will very soon lose his custom, and be confident to give place to an honest man. The man who trades about the country has nothing in view beyond the present sale and what he can make out of that. No person who buys from him expects anything else "than being swindled. Purchase nothing unless yon want it, and then purchase from your town merchant, is good advice under all ! circumstances. Tnn Ginr, or THF. Prr.ion.—The Sur atogu correspondent of the Ijouisvillo Courier-Journal tells this improbable story : " I am told that at Long Branch a young lady from Washington, daugh ter of a distinguished general, entered into a conspiracy with one of the jockeys for tho purpose of buying a French pool. She paid five dollars and won eleven hundred. She rewurded the jockey for his astuteness in select ing the right horse by giving him a grand dinner at one of the hotels. The ladies are certainly being educated up to the men's standard of excitement in their grawiag iatarest in races. T nr. Oviow. —The onion has received the following eulogy : " Where it is possible to cat tho onion it is not possi ble that offenses some in the sluipe of stock-carrying, of broken baukH, and dishonored bonds. Where it is possi ble to eat the onion there is rest fur the female mind. No vexing toilette in the front pew ; no superlative estab lishment ' over tho way ' tortures with the vain effort to rival and surpass it ; there is rest for the wearied mother of much-dr'.ssed children, there is jubilee for the children themselves.

The fact appears to be, however, that Colt, en tirely uuawaro at first of any previous attempts to produce such weapons, made a Berics of experiments on skele ton firearms, which were very success ful ; but subsequently he fell into many of the errors of his predecessors, for, by covering: the breech and the mouths j the chambers, simultaneous explo liou of several charges constantly oc 3nrred. This induced the restoration of the arms nearly to their original skeleton form, nnd the result was the production of the present perfect urra which lias obtained such world-wide celebrity, and tho manufacture of which may be said to be fully as marvelous as the weapon itself, the several parts be ing forged, planed, rifled, and en graved almost entirely by machinery uesigned for tho purpose.

Hayt-a, writing of Jcuiaiul to tho llrrald, eaya : About ovt ry hottao in lUnkiavik thero ta a littlo gantru, and very prcttv and froali aiid well oultivatod many of them uro. It wio# great ohatigo, therefore, after leaving thia little snuggery by the sea, and coining out into the oountrt, to And tmraelves in au almost jierfectly barrau desert. Not a tree or the sem blance of one, not even of the most Uuy deaeription, waa anywhere to be aeeii, not even the little dwarf willows and birehea which occur everywhere in (ireetilaud, and which 1 have ruet tin re on mountain aide* more than fif teen hundred feet above the aea. In deed, until we had gone inland quite ten tnilea, I discovered no tra?e of them, and scarcely any of the very pretty Icelandic heather, and not much of the atoneerop, which ia hardy enough almost to grow on a glacier. Here and there, however, there waa discovered a little grass of very pale green color, aud when a patch of it waa descried a long way oft, the ante of au ordinary poeket handkerchief, by our spare ponies, away they all darted for it, |>eU-nieH ; the paek animals also die-bed away after thcia, rattling the sack* to the infinite rtakof the destruc tion of everything eatable and drink able in them. Away went the guide* in purMiit, idioutiug aud whipping the air, an if the air only were at fault and not the |winiee, aud away with them dashed our Iceland friend on two legs of hi* indignant Ally. A few mtlea out from the town there ia a long atrip of meadow land, near some little lakes, through which liea the mad to Kyrarbakla aud the south ern coast. Tin* furnishes pasturage for the great multitude of home* require*] for tlie inhabitants ol lteikiavik. The King's pome* were there, and a dozen or more guides were gathering them together t<> take them into town in readiness for Ihe start which waa to oc cur about noou. When turned out to Eraxc in thia manner the pouies are obbhnl by having their fore legs tied together within about mi inches of each other. Of course they cannot walk, and, therefore, cannot stray away, and they run be caught wheu wanted,"which wyuld not otherwise happen, for if there is one thing which an Iceland pony dia . like* more than another, it ia to be caught. In order to get from place to place as they uibble the grass, they are compelled to lilt both fore leg* at once, and it ia rather amusing to see two or three hundred of them skipping about on their hind legs like kangaroos or rabbita in a warrau. Ou the oj |to*ita aide of the path there is another low plain which does not, however, furnish pasturage, but fuel. It ia a vast |>et bog, and such bi d* are very numerous over the inland. Many families iu lleikiavik uae it for fuel entirely ; while all uae it more or U-as, mixing it with coal, which ia, of course, imported from abroad, mainlv from tireat Bntian. None of this coaf, however, find* its way into the interior. In places where turf ia not found, ao far as i have observed, they are suf ficiently supplied with birch brush, which, while it give* little warmth, fur nishes fuel fer cooking—and, iu truth, this ia all the average islander ever does with fire. Except on the seaboard 1 did not arc a single aVuve, and there waa no means whatever provided for warming the houses. Thia I was not prepared to see in so oold aad bleak a country, liven in Greenland the Es quimaux have the tneaut of warming tt eir hut*. Bat it may lie said that the Icelandic hnt is almost impenetrable to the oold. Ia the Rcfiboartl lowm, where timber can I** laatUsi from ships, as at ll.ikivik, yon see many neat, little, nicely painted, framed cottages, warmed in winter as any cottage would be warmed elsewhere ; bnt those not so situated, and those in Reikiavik not rich enough to afford timber, bnild great walla of turf and stones. 1 measured one that was eight feet in thiekuess. Usually the gables are of wood, painted, or rather pitched, black, aud the interior is lined with planed Uiards, and the floor is laid with boards. Even this I found to be the case ninety miles inland ; and one can readilv un derstand the labor and bother oi get ting a sufficient supply from the capital over such villainous roads upon the bscks of tlicae little Icelandic ponies. Yet they kavo an eve to comfort even here, and do the best they know to make life enjoyable. They seem quite contented with their lot, ami, like the Swiss, the Icelander loves his rugged mountains aud his farm life. Very few of them emigrate to other countries. *A small number went to America a short time ago and founded a colony in Wisoou*in ; but it is said iu Keikiavik that the most dole ful accounts are returned from there, and those who had entertained the idea of following them have become dis courage! from so doing. I learned, however, that an effort had been made to get together n party thif season, and under the promise of being taken out by some contractor or other, a few had converted all their earthly possessions into ready money ; but the contractor did not come in his steamer, according to agreement, aud so, to the great pres ent inconvenience of a few who find themselves without house or home and with nothing in the world but a few rix dollors, but I have no doubt to the happiness, if not the future comfort, of a great many more, there will lie no ad ditions this year at least to the Ameri can colony. I asked our young guide why he did not go to America. " I don't know," he said, and then seriously added, "why should IT" When I looked at his bright, happy faco 1 knew him to be iuutlligent, and lie seemed to have no nnsnpplied want except books. I must confess this was a poser. How ever, I replied in the only way I could, " Would you not bo better off there?" Whereupon be put an end to all further questions on lliat subject by saying that he did not want to be better off. He was quite satisfied as ho was. In deed, he might go very much further, and fare considerably worse, ile lives with his uncle Zeoga, from whom we hired our horses, in a comfortable little farm house, in Keikiavik, and his uncle is the owner of s great many horses and two fishing smacks, and the boy seems to enjoy this rough riding as guide over the country. He is a good guide and an excellent horseman, if horse manship may, iu any sense, bo said to consist in thoroughly managing au Ice landic pony. MISFORTUNES.
