Farm, Garden and llonseholfl. An Ice Home tor Five Dollars. A neighbor of mine, sny a corres pondent, has an inclor"ire of about six feet square in t,b.o clear, and six feet high. The rralls are formed of old refuse timbers thrown closely together, with no regard to form or comeliness. The roof is made of hemlock boards. The entire cost of the building did not exceed five dollars, and, practically con sidered, it is a success not ambitious of containing thirty-five loads of ice, but simply live loads. Two years this little, unpretentious house has been wsod for ice, and never yet dis honored a draft upon its crystal de posit. About Bix inches of sawdust was spread upon the ground floor, and in packiug.a space of about nine inches was left between the ioe and the walls of the building for sawdust, and about nine inches of sawdust was spread upon the top of the ice, and the thing was fixed. The three main principles ob served here will always insure a supply of ice, viz : good ventilation, good drainage, and plenty of sawdust. With these rules adhered to, a Corner of any old pen-shed will prove quite efficient iu preserving ics. Household HlnU. Stewing Chickens. Parboil two fine chickens ; take them up in a large dish; cut them up, and separate all the joint bones one from another. Then take out the breast-bone, add a little of the water they were stewed in, a blade of inace and a pinch of salt. Cover close ly with another dish, and put them in iu mew until tne iowjs are tender. Serve hot in the same diBh." Curb fob Citorp. When the symp toms appear, immediately fold a towel, dip it in cold water, and apply it to tha child's breaBt and throat ; then wrap a blanket closely around him. Or, bathe the feet well iu warm water, at the same time rubbing the throat and breast with mutton tallow or goose-grease ; then envelope in a warm blanket. Either of these modes will check the disease till the arrival of a physician, and in many cases will of thcmseles effect a cure. Buns. Three cups of milk, one cup of yeast, one cup of sugar, and flour to make it sponge ; let it rise over night, then add another cup of sugar and one of butter ; mold them into small bis cuits. Salt na nil 'Aid to Manure, About five o'clock one fine summer's morning, I noticed that where the salt had been sown the previous day, every grain of salt had attached to itself the dew, and formed on the surface a wet spot about the size of a sixpence, the ground being generally very dry. On our light lands it consolidates them and makes them epecially firm and ac ceptable to the wheat plant, whose straw will stand firm and erect, although four and a half to fivo feet long. It is also unfavorable to certain weeds by this consideration. It prevents the ravages of the wire worm. It is especially favorable to saline plants, such as mangolds, whose ashes contain fifty per cent, of salt. I never sow guano, except mixed with its own weight of salt. Like everything else, it has, I am sorry to say, greatly risen in price. I observe that all crops seem to thrive well on land near salt water, especially where the land is drained. Care ot Hogs. The Colonial Farmer says : " A practical breeder gives the following advice, which, in the main, we think sound, for those whose herds are not too largo and who are engaged in mixed husbandry. Te handle hogs to the best advantage, a pasture is needed of green grasses clover, blue grass and timothy and it is best if there is no running water or stock ponds in the lot. Hogs do better where there are no branches or stock ponds to wallow in. In place thereof, have good well-water pumped for them. Have troughs made, and nail strips across eight inches apart, to keep the hogs from lying down in the water, and let the hogs be put on floors, to keep them from digging up wallow ing holes. If any feed be given, it should be soaked in swill barrels for 12 hours before feeding no longer and fed to them as drink. KvcrlaKting Fence Posts. I discovered, many years ago, that wood could be made to last longer than iron in the ground, but thought the process so simple and inexpensive that it was not worth while making any stir about it. I would as soon have poplar, basswood, or quaking asp as any other kind of timber for fence posts after having been set seven years, which were as sound when taken out as when they were first put in the ground. Time and weather seem to have no effect on them. The posts can be prepared for less than two cents apiece. This is the recipe : Take boiled linseed oil and stir it in pulverized charcoal to the consistency of paint. Put a coat of this over the timber, and there is not a man that will live to see it rot. Soiling Cowl. It will certainly pay to judiciously soil cows on a small farm. There is no other way by which so much milk can be produced on a given number of acres. When you have put your land in proper condition a cow can be kept upon one-half acre for summer, and one acre for winter. Even better than this has been done. Starting this late, ore pare the ground well, and sow one eighth of an acre of oats thickly for each cow as early as you can ; two or three weeks alter sow the same amount of land to oats for later cutting. Then prepare the ground and sow one-fourth of an acre of corn for each cow. This will probably leave a surplus for win ter feeding. Sew Use For Petroleum, Mr. Julius Hock, a Viennese engineer, residing in London, has invented a new method of using petroleum as a motive power. His invention does away with boiler and furnace, throwing the petro leum in minute quantities in the form of spray into the cylinder of the engine itself where it is fired or exploded, the power thus produced being transmitted by the piston moving in the cylinder. Petroleum has heretofore been employ ed for this purpose by three methods : first, the petroleum or hydro carbon has been mixed with the ordinary solid f nel in the furnace ; second, the hydro carbon employed has been vaporised by the air, forming an "air gas" which has been conveyed to a tubular boiler and burned in pits ; and, third, the liquid has been injeoted in the furnace in sprays by a steam injector.

A STRUGGLE IN TIIE MOUNTAINS. Mow a Panther Tackled an KnRltshman, and how the Panther nil Killed. A correspondent sends the following very thrilling acoontat pt a desperate struggle with a mammoth ctn&ountin the Blue Mountain, about seven miles from Fcstheiolfville, on the extreme northern edge of Albany township, to the Beading (Pa.) Eagle ; I have just learned the particulars of an encounter had on the mountains, which hns caused a great deal of talk iu this section. For weeks past people coming down or crossing the hills have reported at vari ous times having seen a large wild ani mal, and others as having heard deep growls and strange noises at certain hours of the night. A farmer along the base of the hills, earned Ezra Season ing, lost two young calves and an en tire litter of yonng pigs iu the short space of eight days, and he attributed the loss totho inoursionsof this strange animal, These reports came to the ears of Budolph Pfleger, an old hunter find trapper who has passed fully forty years on the mountains. He made several efforts to hunt up the strange animal, but to no purpose. At last he con cluded to organize a small hunting party. He had some one to write to Sohuylkill county to two old friends of his who were also engaged in hunting, and who had likewise passed more than half their lives on the mountains. They arrived on foot over the hills, ana stopped at the cabin of Pfleger. Their names are Henry Vancolt and Thomas Anson, two Englishmen, who first came to the mines when the canal was built, but gave up their business and took to the hills soon afterward. The three started out on different pathways, the men having previously agreed to met at the "big tree," a point about five miles off in the moun tains. They were well armed, and de termined to hunt up the mysterious animal if it were possible. Nothing happened to any of the party up to the time when Pfleger and Vancolt arrived at the tree, which was within a half hour of each other. Nothing was seen or heard of Anson. Tiie Bun had gone down behind the hills, and the forest was becoming gloomy in the dusk. An son was making his way slowly and cautiously through a deep and tangled underbrush, and when about one hun dred yards from tho point of meeting, he determined to pass np through a small ravino, whoso sides were over hung with a dense nrtdergrowth of shrubs. When directly under a small crag, and walking along with his head bent to the ground and his form doubled in creeping under a low vine, au 01 a snaaen lie heard a crash over head, and the next minute he felt the claws of en auinial sink in his neck and flesh, accompanied with fierce growls. By a very ouick movement, Anson swung around his arms, grasped the animal by the neck with both hands, and held it in his vice-like grip. He then staggered back to the clearing, when the animal shook off the hunter's grasp, and made an effort to bite his neck. Quick as thought the man grasped a knife in his belt, and with fearful velocity swung it around and sunk it deep into the animal's side. The brute gave a long, low howl, and amidst the excitement man and beast rolled over on the ground, and as they did so the former received three severe bites in tho shoulder. The growls of the animal attracted the attention of the remaining two hunters, who came dashing through the brush toward the spot where the hunter and the brute were tusselling on the ground. Tho struggle did not last long. Anson plunged his knife the seoond time into the animal's body, and in a few minutes it rolled over and died. The hunters then examined it and found it to bo a species of panther, and which was thought to be a catamount of the mammoth species. It weighed 246 pounds, and measured i feet 5 inches long, not counting the length of its tail, which was 2 feet 1 inch. It stood 2 feet 8 inches high, and was powerfully knit and very compactly built. St"am ts. Horse. On the 28th of August, 1830, some days before the opening of the Liver pool and Manchester railroad Mr. Cooper made his engine draw an open car, with passengers, to Ellicott's Mills, thirteen miles from Baltimore. The return was made in fifty-seven minutes. The engine was very small. The stage proprietors did not take very kindly to the revolution in travel ing, and met the engine at the Belay House, on its return a gray horse, of great beauty and power, being harness ed to another car on the second track ; for Mr. Scharf says, "the company had begun to make two tracks to the mills." Then a race took place. At first tho gallant gray had the best of it, for his steam was up and on, while the engine had to wait until the rotation of the wheels set the blower to work. Soon, when this was done, it became a well-contested race. As Mr. Scharf narrates : " The blower whistled ; the steam blew off in vapory clouds ; the pace in creased ; the passengers shouted ; the engine gained on the horse ; soon it lapped him ; the silk was plied ; the race was neck-and-neck,nose-and-nose : then the engine passed the horse, and a great hurrah hailed the victory. But it was not repeated, for just at this time, when the gray's master wa about giving up, the band driving the pulley, which drove the blower, slipped from the drum, the safety-valve ceased to scream, and the engine, for want of breath, began to wheeze and pant. In vain Mr. Cooper (who was his own engine-man and fireman) lacerated his hands in attempting to replace the band upon the wheel in vain he tried to urge the fire with light wood. The horse gained on the maohine, and pass ed it ; and although the band was pres ently replaced and steam again did its best, the horse was too far ahead to be overtaken, and came in the winner of the raoe." Ad Ingenious Defence, In the Police court at Chicago, a few days ago, a wife thus ingeniously ex plained away serions charges of harsh treatment of her poor husband: One day, when she was running across the room with a fork in her hand, he jump ed in the way and struck his wrist against the fork, wrenching it from her grip by the prongs, which he ran into his wrist. Then he endeavored to strike her, but she held up a pan of hot dish-water between them, and he spill ed it all over his head. Then he got still more angry at this accident, and started to jump at her, but his head came against her hand, and he fell down. She took hold of his hair to raise him up, and the hair was moisten ed by the hot water, bo that it came out. 'Then she saw it was no use to reason with him any longer, and she left the bouse, Cuba and the United States. Just now the Cuban question is one of the topics of the day, and the papers ate discuBBing the subject with muoli earnestness. The Washington corre spondent of the Georgetown, S. 0., Planter takes the following view of the question : The holders of Cuban bonds here are making a determined effort to embroil us with Spain, by inducing Congress to recognize the independence of Cuba. These speculators, Cubans and Ameri cans, chiefly the latter, have the great advantage over the Spanish Govern ment that they can lobby, visit news paper offices, and tell their own story, call public meetings and make speeches distribute bonds, make large promises, and influence publio opinion by a thou sand " ways that are dark and tricks that are vain," to which a government cannot resort. The Spanish minister caunot do any of these things. There are only three American citizens with whom the Government of Spain can hold legitimate official intercourse on this important subject of the recogni tion of Cuba the President of the United States, the Secretary of State, and the American Minister at Madrid. Under these circumstances, it is not strange that Congress, the press, and the people at large, whose knowledge of Cuban affairs is based exclusively on the one-sided statements of interested parties, should misunderstand the duties and the material interests of the government and people of the United States, in regard to this proposed recog nition of Cuba. We have never yet had any disinterested evidence that the in surgents In Cuba are entitled to our respeot and our sympathy, because of their purity of motive and purpose j or that they are so numerous, aid powerful, and have so fair a prospect of success, that nations at peace with Spain would be justified in recognizing their independence. Only a few years ago, there were sev eral millions of people in the United States who wished to dissolve their con nection with the federal government. Among these were some of tho wealth iest men, and many of the first states men aud best military and naval offi cers of high rank in the country. Thero were among the insurgents, also, many men of unblemished private character, some thousands of clergymen of all de nominations, and some hundreds of thousands of active members of the various Christian churches. These millions of insurgents were backed, heart and soul, by mothers, wives and daughters ; had old, strong, and stable State governments ; and organized themselves into a powerful confed eracy. They equipped and sent into the field, against the United States, from which they had seceded, immense armies. They fitted out war vessels, that all but swept our commerce from the seas. For nearly five years they stood their ground. To subdue them cost us half a million of lives, and a debt of some $2,000,000,000, which we shall probably never cancel. Yet, dur ing all that war, wo protested against the recognition, by foreign powers of the confederacy formed by these re bellious States ; and mainly upon the ground that, without such recognition, they could not succeed in achieving their independence, and that foreign nations had no right to interfere in our domestic quarrels. And what more right have we to in terfere in Cuba than Spain, and France, and England had to interfere in our civil war? The carnage here was ten thousand times more than it has been in Cuba. The fact of the matter is that there never would have beon a rebellion in Cuba, if it had not been excited by mercenary men in this country, and it would collapse in six months, were it not for expected aid from the United States. Let us take heed. We are in no condition to interfere in the domes tic affairs of other nations. Our civil war is hardly over. We have a large country, and various interests to care for more than we can well attend to, Let us look after our finances, our cur rency, our system of transportation, lest dissatisfaction may cause another rebellion in some section of the Union, and foreign nations may combine to disintegrate our country by acknow ledging tho independence of our rebels. A Labor Strike. Mr. Sullivan, one of tho contractors for grading the Capitol grounds of Washington, becran work, paying labor ers $1 per day. Most of the men struck and drove away those willing to work. Mr. Sullivan then offered to pay 81.25, the same as is being paid by contrac tors on other sections of the work ; but the men refused to resume work for less than $1.50, and the work remains suspended. Some two or three hundred men, mostly colored, gathered around the grounds and posted the following notice : "We had rather beg than work for loss than 1.50 per day. If others at tempt to work for less we will fight. This thing of swindling the laboring men has got to stop. Wages paid in Charleston, $2.50 ; Baltimore, $2 ; New lork, $3 ; ltichmond, $1.75. The wages they offer us is 75 cents. Don't work for less than 81.50. " The men declare that they will not interfere with those on tne two sec tions on which work has been com' menced, where $1.25 is being paid, but after these small jobs are finished no one will be allowed to work for less than $1.50 per day. No serious disturbance is anticipated, a body of policemen being on hand to prevent any out' break. How He Got His Horse. The origin of the once famous racing iiorse Jioston is tims desoribed by a cor respondent : This celebrated racer, sire of the King of the Turf and grand- sire of more celebrities in horseflesh than any one cares to name, was owned in Virginia in his early days, and has the good fortune to win the most dis tineuished consideration of John Ban' dolph. A Kentucky gentleman visiting the Virginia owner of the great racer before the latter had earned for him self a name greatly admired him, and asked his owner his price. He was told $500. 'WelL' said the Kentuckian, " I'll play you a game of Boston ' to night and if I win $500 I will the horse, The original name of the game of cards Boston was, it appears, ' boasting, which was contracted into 1 Uoston, The game was played, the money won, and the horse purchased with the wiu- nings next day, and in commemoration of the manner iu which he had acquired mm tne .kentucaian gave mm ins name, from that time forth to be celebrated as the founder of a dynasty on the turf .Boston, Manassas Kelly, of Missouri, worked hard for a year, and raised twelve hun dred bushels of wheat, which he stacked. Then he ploughed the ground around the stacks and set tire to the stubble field. The fire rolled over the nlonarhed ground and rained Manassas. NEWS OF THE DAT.

Perhaps no man living has won more golden opinions than Dr. Walker, as the enormous and widely increasing sale of his California Vineoab Bitters at tests. We never look into one of our exchanges, but there is a panegyrio of the Bitters staring us in the face. Our readers will say that there must be a reason for all this praise. They are right.

A Healthy liver secretes eacn any auuui nu and a half pounds of bile, whioh contains a great amnnnt of waste material taken from the blood. When the liver beoomes torpid or con gested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore, remains to poison the blood, and be conveyod to every part of the system.

Only a few of the above symptoms will be likely to be present in any case at one timo. RATIONAL AND BUCCESBFtJL TREATMENT. A largo variety of diseased conditions are pro duced by liver complaint. By curing the dis ease of the liver we remove the rnntf, and thereby radically cure, not only the liver com plaint, but also the various other diseased conditions produced by it It is generally the custom to tako strong liver stimulants for the liver complaint, and both the mineral and vegetable kingdom have beon diligently searched to procure tho most drastic and poisonous purgatives, in order to produco a powerful effect upon the liver, and rouse the lagging and enfeeblod organ. Those medicines are given freely and in large doses, which keep the liver in au excited condition while under their influence. This system of treatmont is on the same principle as that of giving a weak and debilitated man large por tions of brandy to enable him to do a certain amount of work. Every intelligent person can readily see. or imagine, the condition the msu would bo iu when tho work was done and the brandy withheld ; and it is just so with the liver. Wbon tho stimulant is withheld, the organ rapidly rolapscs into a more torpid or sluggisn ana weaKoneu condition than l.efore. What, then, is wanted ? Evidently medicines, that, while they arouse the liver to action, will do it, not by an irritating and stimulating offect, as is produced by a dose of great, repul sive, sickening, drastio pills, calomel, blue mass, mandrake, or podophyllum, but by a tonic invigorating and strengthening influence upon that organ. Medicines are wanted that, while they cause the bile to flow freely from tne liver, as mat organ is toned into action. will, when their use is discontinued, leave the liver strengtlifned and healthy. Such medicines am happy to have beon ablo to discover and introduce to the afflicted for their relief and cure. As a remedy for all the various main testations of disease resulting from " Liver Complaint," as it is usually termed, and aB a blood purifier, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery ia positively uneoualed. By it the liver and stomach are changed to an active, healthy state, the appetito regulated and re stored, the blood and secretions thoroughly purified and enriched, and the whole system renovated ana mint up anew. Its action is mild, yot pomtiee and lastina. It does not siniply pilliate the disease, and re lieve it, for the time being, but it producos radical and lasting henefit.

Tanktows, Delaware Co., O., March 20, 1873 To Dr. It. V. Pierce : Your Discovery needs only a fair trial, and it will do all you recom mend it to do, ana more too. When 1 was 15 I caught cold, aud for 28 years I have been periect wrecK or disease, and all the medicines aud doctors' bills have run up at times to $200 ana :iuu, ana never any better, but worse. when I gave up all hopes last spring of living tne summer turougu. i receiyea one or your Account Books, and told my husband, aftor reading it, that it was too late to try further, but he said it was never too late. He went and bought two bottles, and I found it was helping me very much. Since 1841 I was troubled with Catarrh aud Bore Throat, and was almost entirely deaf in one ear, and my voice was dull as could be. There was constant pain in my head. Now my head is as sound as a dollar, my voioe is dear, and I have used ten bottlos of your Discovery. It has cured mo of Catarrh Bore Throat, Heart Disease, Hnine Affection, aud Torpid Liver. Mv liver was very bad. My skin was rough. When I put my hand on my body it was like fish scales. Now it is smooth and Boft as a child's. In conclusion, I will say I have been well for three months. I am a wonder to myself and friends. This is but an imperfect statement ; half has not been told. Yours with respect. HESTER LACKEY. BEAD THE FOLI.OWING FROM THE NOTED SCOUT, "BUFFALO BILL."
