FARM, HARDEN HOUBEHOI.H Hints Akl Work. Winter grain may yet I*° eowu; on good warm soils wheat m*v succeed sown a iftt •as the :nl >f the month, ami ryo may Vie sown as late hs early in Noranh't. Donl'la the usual quantity of seed should h< pout,. l. insure a good growth. We have lis 1 nn > xeelleut aud heavy growth of rye to out iti April for soiling, from n field sown in Noveiu her with live bushels to the sore. Top dressing the knoll * or poorer parts of the newly aown wheat rtelde will lie found useful. A thin coating oi straw even ha- been found of groat scr vice, and has helped the crop wonder fully in some cases. For this purpose any coarse manure or straw may lx< wax!. Marsh hay or buckwheat straw will !x> servicixibic, oa, except when tuaimn- is usi>d, the shelter and protection is what benefits tlie crop. Where the wheat has come up thin, and pixir on worn lauds, 160 pounds of the liest gnano, or one hundred pounds of nitrate of stxia. per aere, will lie beneficial. It should Ik nsixl early to do the moat gixxl. Water furrows fn>m low spots should be made at once, to carry oft the water which will gather by and-bye. When thesi< soots are fl-xxled and the siul is wi>t it will lx kxi late to do this work, as the trampling of the ground will do mora m < iiief than the water. This should in- done at once. CORN Hcaxnta,— Ilie pri sent season ooru may Vx* husked earlier llian usual, and there ueed lie none left iu the field by the end of the month. As there ai e many things to be done during flue weather, it will generally lx best to let ont this job by the bushel. In this case keep an eye" on the hnskera, that tin' work may be done cleanly and no small ears left on the stalks. Large cars measure up mora quickly than smalt ones, and are as easily husked, hence small ears are sometimes not husked. Have two baskets iu tlie field, one for small ears, -oft corn, and nubbins, and the othir for large sound ears, which should lx> cribbed by themselves. The rest should be txuled for the pigs, or ground with some oats and bran for feed for oow-, but never cribbed with good corn. Seed earn should be eelec-tod HOW for uext season. L-rgo. sound ear*. filled to the *rv preferable to smaller ones, although two amy have grown apon one stalk. Wt would rather have cue goodar upon each stalk, thau two small o* es upon half the crop, and one small one upon the rest. One large good ear upou a stalk will yield ovi rtwo hundred btuNh of ears per acre, and that ought to satisfy any man. The se looted oars should not be busked., but the husks turned laek and braided to gether, ao as to make a bunch of twenty or thirty ears. These should l>e hung up in a dry safe place. CORN FOPDKK.—'L UCRE will lie a sear city of fodder in maxsv places in the East. and economy should be used iu saving and feeding the stalks. They should be put under cover if possible, as they are rarelv --tacked so as to keep them dry. Moldy stalks are often the cause of idckness amongst cattle, which is charged to " horn ail, ' or some other imaginary or obscure disease. Throw oat ail smutty stalks and burn them. They are Dot wholesome food, and the scattered smut will be very apt to infest the crops another year. POTATOES. —We gather potatoes into a temporary pit, and cover the heap with a quantity of the stalks before we leave the field at night. We think this safest and best. They are not touched by a light frost that might occur, nor scalded by the noon sun. As soon as they are dry, gather into heaps of forty or fifty bushels, and cover, when they will be safe until heavy frosts com-*, when they should be pitted, or stored in a dry cel lar. It is best to dig only in dry weath er. Potatoes are high now, on account of the ravagts of the potato beetle and the vlry weather, iu some sections. Hut on the whole the crop is large, and prices may not keep np when the supply becomes diffused and equalized. This may be worth considering by those who can dig their crop early.—Ayrieuttur iiL • Haw ta Keep lMr. A correspondent of the American farmers' dub desired to learn how to preserve cider, during the winter, with out boiling it down. A member from New Jersey replied that cider made of late fall apples, and filtered through two inches of cVan sand, with ground mus tard in proportions of three deaextspoou fuls of mustard to half a barrel of cider, will keep nicely without further preparation. Mr. Bruin, S. J., said : "Make the cider from apples that contain a goodly supply of saccharine matter, draw it off three times to insure its being fret from pulp, etc.; either bottle or keg it; and it will remain sweet all winter." A recipe for making dder vinegar fol lowed ; this was furnished by a lady member, who ud that aider, designed for vinegar, unlike that intended for wine, should be made as early in the season as possible; put it in a barrel and let it stand where the sun will reach it a "part of the day. Insert the neck end of the bottio in the buughole, so that air can get in without flies taking the same liberty. Place in each barrel of cider a pint of molasses, a half pint of good yeast, the same quantity of white beans and cue sheet of foolscap or brown paper; in two months' time good vinegar will be the result. Household Hlato. CHEESE FRITTERS. —Beat four eggs very light, season with salt, mustard and pepper. Jjiice thin half a dozen large sour apple*, and half as many thin slices of good cheese as you have slices of apples. Pat the cheese to soak in the mixture of eggs and seasoning; let it stand a few moments ; then put each slice of cheese to-twee:. two slices of apple ; dip the whole iulo the beaten egg; then fry iu hot butter, like oysters, and serve hot. PLAIN* CAKE. —One egg, sugar, one capful, batter, one-half cupful, sweet milk, one capful, three tabWpoonful* baking powder in four cupfuls floor. Mix sugar and butter ; ucst the eggs thoroughly ; add it to tho sugar and butter, beat it well, with lemon to flavor it; add lastly the flour, i. e., add the milk to the egg, sugar, butter, and lemon, and lastly the flour, and bake in a quick oven.

Insects are useful in destroying dead vegetable substances, which are even more pernicious to man than animals in the Bame condition, and not only the soft and succulent portions, but even the solid wood is consumed by them. In the immense forests of the tropics the ground would be covered, and new shoots be choked up by the ruins of trees which had fallen by acci dent or age, and which it would require ages to disperse without the aid of in sects. But no sooner is a tree fallen than one tribe of animals cuts its bark to pieces, another bores boles in it in all directions so that the moisture from dew or rain may stand, decompose, and soften. Others enmo to eat off the parts tiiat are softened, and so oa till it is en tirely broken up and scattered, and this is done with such expedition that they will, iu a few weeks, destroy and carry away the trunks of large trees without leaving a particle behind, and in plaoes where, two or throe years before, there was a populous town, if the inhabitants, as is frequently the case, have chosen to abandon it, there will be a very thick wood, and not a vestige of post to be ! seen.

The X w York IYit>un< Ims the fol lowing : The true story of the manner j in which Wm. M. Two,si was convicted has nevi r Ixxui told, and probably never will lx> in nil it* details, lint it n qninxl not only the strict rules of law, but special legislation ami the shrewdest detective skill and the largest Is sly of detectives probably ever employed on auy ease, to convict him finally of mis demeanor, even though he put in no de fense whatever. After the failure ol the first and sixxmd trials, some of the jurors having been corrupted in eacli case, it became apparent to thtise prose entii g the ring that it was not only inHsvi-uny lo watch every juror, but to change by law the method of selecting the jury. Previous to the third trial the law made the first two jurors so lectixl by the court the "triers"of the others ; that is, the first two divided ; upon the qualifications ami impartiality j il the others. A law was rushed through the Legislature making the justice pre siding the judge of the qualifications of all the twelve jurors, akd authorising liim to net aside auy juror, even though acceptable to both sidea. The Tweed case came Ixdora Judge Gavia, and lie scrutimsisl the jury with aneh ixira that it wrjis made up ouly of very intel ligent men. it was said at the tunc that it was one of the most intelligent juriie ever selected in tins city by other than the " struck " process. But a fysteui hail to be orgamxed also by which the counsel could be informal concerning the persons called foresami nation as jurors, the jurors when tlually aeleeted, aud tlie court ofiicers who had them iu charge. This was mvessary to prevent frie. ds of Tweed from grliiug on the jury, and also to preveC auy ap proaches by his agents iu 'be corruption of the jurors A scheme wus devised aud its details wow intrusted to Usury L. Clinton. Two carry it out, some thing like fifty or sixty persons were em ployed, m. 'iy of whom were special do UvkrM frv u Washington, uukuowm to New York i -g men, and a majority of whom were y, ung lawyers who, it is be lieved, veluuUx red their services as de tectivee. At auy rate, fully fifty detec lives watched the jury and the court officers in charg> of them from the bo ginning to the end of the loug trial. Whenever at the begiuniug of the trial a panel of jurtirs was drawn by the sheriff aud e -uutv clerk lists were immediately furnished to Mr. Clinton, who set the detective* under his direction upon the work of learning before the opening of cxiurt next day all that it was poeable to obtain of the antecedents of tbuee callisi. All facts discovered were rajxirted to Mr. Cliutou, by whose clerks they were entered in a txx>k alphabet! caily arranged. This book figured iu court as the " black book." and the nx made of it was a great mystery and a so roe of much trouble to Tweed and to his oonusel, who frequently alluded to it. The proeeootiug counsel eon-nlUd it every time a new man was called, and the acquaintance which it gave iheru with the juror enabled them to ex amine hint i:i such away as to justify the court in rejecting him if thought unfit. In this way several of Tweed's numerous friends wt re dispoe< d of with out resort to the " peremptory chal lenge." In collecting this information the Washington and the amatenr detectives used every means possible, making in quiry of friends and n*ighbors of th< jurors summoned, and even of thou families. At times they pretended to be agents of Tweed and suggested to th jurors that they might "make a good thing of getting on the Tweed jury." In mauyiuatances the tele graph was used. Aruoug others called was an old gentleman, who will be remembered as having created great amusement by reference to him self a* "the great Americau juror." His h:su ry from childh od iu Clevelaud and iu New York city w.,s mv. -tigated, the telegraph being used freely. He was found perfectly unexceptionable iu all respects but one : on a visit to Greenwich one summer he hail dined with Tweed at the Americas clnb. He was rejected on tiiat account alone. From this fact it can be seen ti.at the examination was of the strie'est. In fact, the main effort of the prosecution was directed to the selection of a per fectly honest jury. u was known from the experience of the tint trial that Tweed would put iu no evidence in defense, and heuoe it was claimed by the prwrcntion at the time that convie tion was sure to follow if a true jury was obtained. Dnriug the rest of the trial, after the jury was selected, the de tectivea allmled to watched the jurors and court officers in their movements to aud from the oourt-room, and effectually prevented any communication between them and Tweed> agents. He Stormed Stony Point. Years ago Charles M. Lee was a great lawyer in Rochester, N. Y. On one oc casion he was defeuding au old veteran for ; Masing a forged promissory note for thirty, dollars. There was scarcely a doubt of the man's guilt, but Lee, get ting over the knotty point* of the evi dence as well as he could, undertook to carry the jury by an escalade on the ground of the prisoner's Revolutionary services. He i escribed in graphic terms the bloody auack on Stony Point by Mail Anthony, at which the prisoner, then a dare-devil of nineteen, hail dis tinguished himself, and closed his speech as follows: " Gentlemen of tho jury, will you Bend to the Stab- prison, for passing a con temptible thirty-dollar forged note, an old hero of three-acore-and ten, who, in his youth, cheered the heart of his conn try in the darkest hour of the Revolution by storming Stony Point I" This was a poser for the jury, who, r< tiring, returned after an absence of about two hours, when the clerk went through the usual formula: "Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict I" " We have." " Do you flud the prisoner at the bar guilty or not guilty f" " Not guilty, because ho stormed Btony Poiut!" thundered the foreman. The audienoe applauded, the crier rapped for order, the district attorney objected to the recording of the verdict, and the judge sent the jury out again, telling the foreman, in a sharp tone, that they must And an unconditional verdict. After an absence of a few minutes they returned, when the foreman ren dered the simple verdict of not guilty, adding, however, as he dropped into his seat: "It was a good thing, though, for the old Revolutionary veteran that he storm ed Stony Point! ' Too Bad. In time of panic, when the babble speculation breaks and the timid soul calletli for its balance, the way of the banker is hard ; but alas ' for the rich, rich capitalist who has millions that he cannot invest. The Financier gives this touching incident of financial dis tress in London: Calling np nan ac quaintance the other day, he appealed to our sympathy, by exclaiming: "I have just had a great misfortune." "Indeed," we asked: "what has happen ed?" "Well!" he replied, "an old customer has just called and left with me £IOO,OOO on deposit." It was an old and valued customer, and so the un fortunate banker could not refuse to take the money ; and now lie is nt bis wits' end to know what to do with it. Th elr Destiny. Three years ago the Mod oca were re moved from Oregon to a reservation near Seneca, Mo. At that time they numbered 153. Ol this number fifty eight have died sinoe then, and the mortality during September was greater than ever. As in the case of the Fiji Ishuiders, diseases to which they have not been accustomed and of which they are entirely ignorant have attacked them. The comparatively innocuous malady of whooping cough prevails among them, and eight have died of it. The saddest feature of their case is that there is no physician at the reservation to care for them, and they readily fall victims to the diseases that attack them. I,FADING TO THE OKAVK. The TkMH •! Inrbrlrl* as Net Csrlh h The aasixMAtiou for the cure of inebriates had its annual si sxion in Philadelphia. The theory upon which undicsl \ stems for the cure of drunken news are based was explaiittxl forcibly and clearly in a |m|x r read I adore the opening o the convention. Frv>in this paper we note the following p. nits made : Inebriety ia one manifestation of a oerehn> phyiuoel dtaorvler, just as i-pi lepsv is another, with a distinct dura tion, mortality, and proguosis. Ten years is usually tin limit of time after its development iu which it results fatally. Of late years l>r. t 1 rot hers an serfs that this disease takes leas tune to do its deadly work, owing to the 111 crease ef inheritixl tlegeueratioua, irregu lar work, the extremes of luxurious and poor living, unhealthy brain work, and other means, which lower vitality. It is most difilcult to overcome " iu per sou* who have other nervous or cerebral disorders, or who possess eccentric or untrained will power and hunted educa tion, iu tatroxyaiual drinkers, in those who smoke or chew excessively, or when it originates iu some injury to the brain, or apjx-ars sinldculy without any par ticular cause." The mortality of tue briety equals that of the most fatal ills eases, but under proper treatment -it asylums tlie raooveries may exc- d those of any other oerabral or nervous affectum. Other najx-m were read m proof of the fact that inebriety was fre qttciitly a matter of heredity, as is con sumption, the morbific force causing it taking sometimes the shape of epilejisy or hysteria iu cue child aud drunken ueas iu another. The pnxhioiug cause is luixit freijueutly a habit of imxlerute drinking iu father or grandfather. Temperance and the ravages of druukeuueaa have of late yearn become distasteful subjix'ts among (x-ople who assume a certain ilcgrtx- >f refinement. They are not fanatics. The violence of tem}xurderM and other crimes which till oar prison* ami jails are d t< to the same cause. A >t so strong is the distaste t" arguing the question that even by prison reformers tlie subject is virtually ignored. The mistake apjx-ar to us to have been in urging drunken ness as a crime aud temperance as a vir tue. That is only one side of the ques tion. The one is also a disease and the other a necessary pri-caution to ■ av> life. If the young lad .-tartiug out iu life, aud the mother who follows him with entreaties aud prayers, understood that the glass of liquor iu his case was not only a moral delinquency but a step toward suicide, just as dangerous as ex jxsmre to cold would tx> to a con-utnp tive, his danger would be lessoned one half. No man is ashamed to protix-t u weak lxxlv, but he rushes into t mpta tiou to prove his power of ri-sistance as strong as his neighlxir's. We are glad to find from the reports of the oasoct ation that their rational method of meet iag this fori mi>st evil of our time is so fast gaining the approval of the public. —,\Vto )'ork IVibuiit.

The following i -i-plent, related by tho Cleveland Herald, shows how packages are sometimes lost in the mad: About four years ago a registore 1 package, valued at fifty dollars, was moiled at f jiudenville to a post-office in Pennsyl vania. Jt disappeared and all search for it was unavailing. Liudenvillo is a couutry post office, and the mail is car ried thence to William-field by a route agent. In this case the Lindenville postmaster had a receipt for the package from the agent, but a* the agent h id none from the Wiiliamsfield postmaster, it could lie traced no further, and the route ageut was oompelled to pay tho loss. A short time ago the package was found in the Wiliiamstield post-ofllee. It had been received from the route agent in a small pouch, together with about forty letters, and as the pouch was an extra one occasionally used, it was by mistake hang upon a hook near tho postmaster's desk, and tliero having been no use for it since, it hail been there all these year*. Recently the pouch was taken dc-wn for use, and its content* found intact. The Corse of Knin.

In tills cane adopt the golden rule, and ' do unto other* as you would tin y should do to you." If iu your own case you should deem more visits urotier, make thorn, and if not, stay away. Of course, there may lie eases where the family or friends are aiixioit* to luive von call ofteiu-r than is really ueoemary, but, if it is an understood thing, and you conscientiously inform them that the cane does Dot really require so much attention, and still they jiersist, why then you will l>e justified in going mx or ten or twelve times a day, or even aleep tug a mouth in the house, and let them pay you for it.

Tlie flfht professional success is the awixteet thing to a young physician next to the tlrwt kiss. He i* apt to feel s desire to publish it, to g. t his name in the cewsjiajwrs, or to teli it at the street corner. If any of you should evi r do this, I would call you quacks, and shun you ami goon the other Mile of the way. It is.'! of the courts-les of the profe sioQ that OD physi isn should attend anothi r gratis, ltr Alonae Clark on one occasion pulled ay. ung student through s severe illness and refuuesl to take a fee. " Hut I'm not s regular doctor," said the yonug man; " I'm only s sta dent, nnil not tn tit led to the favor." "Never mind," nod Clark, " dugs don't •at puppies." It is an extraordinary fact that the greater number of miiical mi n die of malpractice. They call < ther physicians to atb-nd them, younger men JierltapN, who defer bi the age and expo rioooe of tht-ir patK iits, and, fearing to express their own opiuioo, do no treat with the oonfldenoo with which they would triat other cases. As to the treat ment of poor patients, there are many oases where they have to 1* treated free of charge. l>o not shirk the poor, but do not treat jHxrr shirks. As to a system of charges, remember that the latrori r is worthy of his hire, but do not follow the example of a distingnislied doctor of New Tork city, who, when asked what his charges were, replied: "Why, I mid np what I owe, and charge it." Expose quacks when they come in your way. It isn't necessary to go across tho street and drag the quack out of !>ed ami scalp him, but when yon can, expose his pre tensions; do it calmly and rationally, never with auger. An Indian Komanre. In thooarly ilayn of Pike county. Mis sotiri, when the out-like pun. her r. uracil the hills ninl the fii-'t footed deer bound ed tlirough the forests, there lived near Howling Grevn a niun nnmikl Noah Ad kins. Uoalizing the truth of the adage that "it ia not good for man to bo alone," he took unto himself a wife. This lady was named Allison, who hail a sou William by a former husband. This win William was a fine physical man, and not inferior in intellect. In 184(1 he joined Colonel Kails' regiment, in Sterling Price'H brigade, and tnnrclievl to the wars in California, where ho took part iu the oonlliet at Hauta Cruz and other battles. After his return lie got into a quarrel with his stepfather. They adjourned to Crane's t/uiyard to fight it ont, nod by singular fatality each shot the other's arm off. This affair brought on a separation between Noah and his wife, and the latter went with her sou William and her son-in-law, James liob bins (onoe n candidate for sheriff of Pike county), to Independence, Mo. Home time previous to this a son John had IHMUI Iwru to Mrs. Adkius, and he concluded to follow the forttin<)S or mis fortunes of his mother. After living in Independence some time William Alli son got the contract for oarryingthe mails between Independence and old Bauta Fa While acting in this capacity he was killed by the Indians. The boy (John) wandered away, and wa • captured by tho Bioux Indians. It is rarely that ever a prisoner escapes torture and death at the hands of the savages, but Adkins seemed reserved by some unaccountable stroke of fate for another destiny. He became acquainted with tho ways of the red skins, settled down to live among On m, and finally became one of their i-hief*, and was in command of one of the de tachments at the Little liig Horn mas nacre, where the gallant, Custer aud his heroic little army rode into the jaws of death. These facts were related by an old scout nnined Cook, who told them in Howling Green. It was a drunken carpenter who said he oonld not carry his spirit level. Nt MMAKY OF NKWN.
