To GET TICKS Orr or SHEET. —AT this aaason of the year common mercurial ointmcut, mixcvl with seven jvirts of lanl, is an effectual rem rely. It is rubbed on the skin in furrows made by the own ing of the wool, and should be most free lr applie-1 to the ports which ate esjieci ally frequente,! by iuwets—the neck and bnsket. Half an ounce of it may be safelv use-l u{>on an ordinary sized M" rino lamb, having ordinary access to shel ter in any but exceedingly temfiestuiius or changeable weather ; and this would be more than sufficient for the purpiwe. A CM UP HOT-BED. —As many of vbur readers have no regular hot-bed. I "pro pose to {five thorn here a dnm simple and effectual plan—one within the reach of everybody, (let a common, Largedry goods box,—as large as you like, or seve ral of them if TOU need so many. Fill it with freah, dry stable manure, and water it gently as von put it in. When the box is two-thirds full, put on about two or three inches of rich, fine soil, and now your seed ; then put a common a iu dow sash—or make one to fit—over it, and put the box in a sunny spot, shel tered from the north and west winds. Water occasionally, and give air on hot days. Yon will thus have plenty of fine plants a* small cost Even a common barrel wdl answer a pretty good pur pose.—R tml _Vtr Yorkvr. How TO MANAGE Spurs a Pros. —In answer to this question, put by one of its contributors, the American Agricul turist has the following : It depends on the breed, the food at command, he conveniences for feeding, the probable price for pork next fall, and the price a year hence. We should premise, how ever, that in any case the pigs should have all they will eat of some kind of food. The only difference to be made between growing pigs and fattening is in the character of the food. A fatten ing pig requires rich, concentrated food; a gtowing pig a more bulky ami less nutritious food ; but iu either cases, the Pt, to do well, must have all it will eat. you have a -mull boned, well hred pig, such as a grade Essex or Berkshire or Suffolk, we think it would lie far more profitable as a rale to fatten spring pigs than to winter them over. Let them have the run of a clover p isture, all the milk and slop from the house, and all the corn and other grain in water twenty four hours before feeding. If well bml, such' treatment should give you pigs that will dress 300 pounds bv the first of December. On the otuer hand, if you have a course, large-loned breed of pigs, the better plan will be to winter them over. In this ease, give them the ran of a good clover pasture, plenty of water, what waste from the house you have to spare, and a little'grain to keep them growing as rapidly as possible. How TO POLISH SHIRTS AND COLLARS —A correspondent of the Emgtisk Mt chanic thus describes the method of pol ishing linen surfaces adopted at the laun dries : —Put a little common wax in your starch, say two ounces to the pound; then if you use Glenfield or some other thin patent starch, be sure you use it warm, otherwise the wax will get hard and gritty, and spot your linen, giving it the appearance of being stained with grease ; starch the fronts and wristbands as stiff as you can. I always starch twice, that is, starch, dry, then starch again. Iron your shirt with a box-iron in the usual way. making the linen nice and firm, but without any attempt to make good finish ; don't lift the plaits ; your shirt is now ready for polishing, hut yon ought to have a board same sire as a common shirt board, made of hard wood, and covered with only one ply of plain cotton cloth. Put tliia board into the breast of your shirt, damp the front very lightly with a wet sponge, then take a polishing iron, which is fiat and level led a little at one end—polish gently with the levelled part, care not to drive the linen up into wtvelike blisters; of course this requires a little practice, but if you are careful and persevere, in a short time von will be enabled to give it that enamel-like finish which seems to be so much wanted. To dress collars.— For this purpose use best Irish starch, 21b. 4oz. wax, 6t pints water; first dis solve the wax in boiling water, put it in a goblet and allow it to stand for five minutes; during this time dissolve the starch in the smallest possible quantity of cold water, then pour it gradually into the goblet, and l>oil for twenty-five min utes, keep stirring all the time; this starch can be used quite cold. Rub it well into the collars, wring as tight as you can, finish by wringing in a cloth, thus you will have them stiff without being hard, and when well dressed will have that beautiful elastic finish so much admired in new collars. A Secret Poison. According to the Medical I'rest and Circular of London, a new "secret poi son'] has been discovered across the At lantic. Its deadly character may be in ferred from the statement that: "By its inhalation simply through the meuium of a letter sent by post in the ordinary way, the reader will suddenly dropdown dead, with all the symptoms of as phyxia." An English journalist, com menting upon this statement, remarks that the same subtle poison appears to be in use in Canada, and adds : " The following clipping from a Canadian paper on the death of a person of note, looks very ugly :' He received an anonymous letter, and, while reading it, he fell down insensible, and shortly after expired. It is said the letter contained some poison ous substance.'" We suspect that thi clipping is from some sensational story paper, the pages of which always abound in these startling effects. Hydrocyanic acid, better known as Prussic acid, is the only known poison whjch acts with sncli deadly activity as this, and it is not easily obtained of the requisite strength except by chemists. Suicides use it oc casionally. as it does not distort the limbs or features, and it leaves no telltale smell behind it except a faint scent of al monds. * A SAD CASE. —One of the saddest cases of suicide lately put on rectrd took place in Illinois the other day. A young girl, only fifteen years of age, took a dose of arsenic, and, despite the efforts of the physician, who was called in, died shortly afterwards. The cause of the deed was attributed to the unkindness and ill treatment she had received at home. * A DOUBTFCX, EXPERIMENT. —A Califor nia cattle raiser has been lately trying the experiment of training coyotes or prairie wolves as shepherd dogs, bat does not consider his experiment entirely successful, as the sheep are generally killed before the. training has been com pleted.

Death of the Hermit of the llmbon. Daniel Williams, the hermit of the Hudson river, who lias lived for many years in seclusion in a little log hut which he had constructed upon tin- *as tern bank of the river, near Kidney Creek, in the town of Easton, Washing ton couuty, was found dead in his shantv a few days since. The recluse never left his hut for the haunts of man, except when his necessities required that he should go out and tiart-r with the world for provisions to sustain life. Altseutuig himself beyond the usual time, several of his neighbors visit*-d his dwelling aud on kickiug the door open found the hermit lying upon the floor stiff and cold, judging from appearances, Mr. Williams had been dead some days, having prolst bly fallen from his chair, and expired instantly. He was bora and reared in Eiiston. Several yeais since, becoming disputed with the world, be took upon himself the life of a hermit, ami {wssed his time wholly exempt from the cares of life, and in entire seclusion from the world around him. He was a man of considerable ability, aiul is said to have been possessed of proportv at his death. THE suffering* of the Parisians timing the siege of the ritv bare yet to be told. A correspondent of one of the morning {tapers begins to throw light on the sub ject and saying that the difficulty of ob taining even the scanty supply of food that was doled out was a great hardship. All Paris had to go and form in lines at the various stations for bread, meat, fuel, Ac., and men and women would go Itc fore daylight and stand for hours in a bleak wind or driving snow or rain, with feet wet and half frozen waiting for the bit of horse meat and course bread. Thousands, it is said, died of this expo sure. And it is not alone the poor who have suffered in this way, many of fhe rich having been forced to take their places in the hunger queue*, ladies of rank having been so kept alive. Add to all this that then* was not sufficient fuel to make fires, and that the only warmth to be obtained by the shivering citizens was by standing in the sunshine, and the condition of the conquored city may be imagined.

THE NEW PENSION ACT.— The act grants pensions at the rate of 88 per month to all officers, enlisted and drafted men (both in the militia and volunteer forces) of the military and naval service of the United States, in the war of 1812, who nerved for a period of sixty days ; also, to the widows of those, who hove died, who were married prior to the treaty of peace (Dec. 24. 1814) which terminated that war; also, to such officers and sol diers who served loss than sixty days, who have been personally namecl in any resolution of Congress for any specific service in that war. BREEDING MINKS. —The subject of breeding minks and killing them for their furs, is one that has been prosecuted for some years with, it is said, satisfactory results.

Dr. Msry Walker declares that if any man desires to get her out of pantaloons he must marry her. Calcutta Robber*. The following account of an attempt at highway robbery in Calcutta show* the ingenuity of rascal* ia not yet ex liAuahsl : On the afternoon of January 13 the daih remittance from the custom house to tiie Itaiik of Ihuigal, at t'aleutta, was carried as usual in a money eheet on n wheellairrow, drawn by some coolies and accouqunncd by a chowkidar of police and a oust tun house Clear. When the party had reached within a short di*- tance of the lutuk, on the Stiwinl rotul, a during feat was attempted. A man, seemingly a European, with his fact masked, ami inounte,! on a powerful lit true, came up to the chest, suddenly producing from under his clothes a small piece of bamboo, with a hook attach ail to one end ami a knife to the other. The IUMUIHH) itself was uttwhwl to hi* waist with a long rojw. He threw it on the chest, and, the hook catching the iron handle of the box, he hftAl it up by means of the rope. aud commenced riding aloug at a rapid }ttce. The whole of the prticeedittga, which ditl not occupy tnore than a few aeeonds, staggered the jwurty in charge of the box. and the man might liave successfully made away with the money hal it not la-en for its weight, which broke the tiamlle of the b ix. The box fell to the ground and the man rode awav out of sight lie fori- any one attempted to seize liim. The lan contained 30,000 rupis-*, 7,U*' rupee* being in silver, and the rest in checks and notes. The |H>lice have not yet succeeded in getting any trace of the %iali, who thus, til the middle of the day and in a crowdixlj thoroughfare, en deavored to commit one of the most dar ing roblierica heard of for a long time. The bee, h Trade. One of the trades carried on in the Landua, south of iiordcatix, iu France, is that of propagating Inches in the meres near the lay.

Now- the cow has to do duty to the young onuelideu. F'riglit euetl hiigganl, "but resigned, the animal submits with n stupid kiud of astonish uient to the attacks of clusters of ltv-cht-s hanging on its legs: and when the mo ment of utter exhauxtiou comes she is sent off to her pasture to renew life, and furnish a fresh repot.

Tue owner of ulamt eight hundred acre* of inanJi supplies yearly two hundred cows for the nour ishment of about eight humired thou sand letches ; he buys the animal fur two pounds and sella the carcass for six teen shilling-. The as is sometime* em ployed, but it proves to lie less resigned than the more (mtient cow ; it kicks, and oraucca, and tries to bite ; and when at length it falls into the water under the storm of its numerous enemies, it lieeomoa mad with terror.

Some of the liuec iu Xow York city renew forty jer oeut. of their stock every year, two rear* and a half laing the average dura tion of use iu a ear horse, it is not yet absolutely decided which kills up horses the fastest, stages or cars. Some people think the latter, la-cauae tie- routes art no very long. A dealer told the Mine correspondent the demand for express horses, truck ami cart animal* never cease*. Tliev are worth from §2OO to 5500 each, brewer's teams are fancy ; :eme of their four-in-hand* are worth 82,400, ami over. Undersized animals we throw out of the business. We never buy anything liiat lias the least fault, mid we have to he very sharp indeed ;tho agri cultural interest is quite a clever one, and is very fond of shoving doctored horses off ou 11s w hen they can. The truly blemish we can accept is a one-eyed horse. Car companies will buy them. A one-eyed horse does not make much iliffereuee. It takes off from his price, however, as much as 810 to 815. We sell our car horses at from 8145 to 8150 each—that is. in lot* ; by the single oue we get abont 810 to 815 more.

The " heathen CWnee' use ginseng as , we use tobacco, and from time inimr morial thry hav<- re gaoled it as one of 1 the moat valuable productions of the earth. Fntil recently Uiey obtained the greater |wrt of their anppbea from Tar tary. but now the American supply is 1 equal to the demand.

It ia a matter of wonder that agricul-1 turista do not turn their attention to Ute cultivation of this root in fields and ' pordens. The growing demand would justify the experiment, and it might prove a valuable one. The mmintaius of Bedford. Botetourt, and Ainh rat abound Kith it, and many persons devote a part of every yeor to gutberiug it and , taking it to market. A FI/IWKR OOBTTKE.—The following! flower eoatumc is descrilied in a foreign journal: •* It is an eveniug dreaa, with a elted at Moutmar tre, and Gen*.

The firat oue iaaued aays the French people awaited calmly until an attempt was made to tooch the life of the Republic. The army did n>4 raise its hands against the arch of tlie lilierties of the Itcpublic—the otilv Government that can close the era n| invasion and civil war. The people of Paris arr con voked for Communal electioua The proclamation is signed by the Central Committee of the National Guard, and dstad at the Hotel de VUle. The arvrmd proclamation is a* follows : 7b thf t'eoplr of prtrit: You have in trui tod na * ith the defence of the rights of Paris. We have driven out Ute Gov ernment which betrayed u*. Our mis sion is fulfilled, and we now report to von. Prepare for the Communal Elec tion. Give us as our oulv recompense the establishment of a real Uepublic.

Vinov has been mobbed. The mon ia triumpliant, and virtually possosa the city. Only wine shops are open. Ih-nnkenneas is rampant Even women are armed. The Official Jovrun! of Paris gives a narrative of events. It sirs the (v*itiou at Montmartre was carried on Saturday, and the guns were alxmt to to removed, when the Nationals snatched the arms from the soldiers, and the latter wete sur rounded snd epuhved. The eorjiaes of the generals were mutilated. Pans, says the Journal, is indulgent but it must rise and chastise the assassins, otherwiae the whole people will lie tlieir accom plicM. The city is full of Bonaparti*! agents. A correspondent ha* seen Chevron, Con ti, Ilouher, and Beguicr. The insur gent* for some days (Mwt have received five francs daily, sup]M>*ed to b fnriiish ed by those agents. NOT TO BE CaroHT.—The Honolulu Qmrtic is greatly amused at the receipt of sn advertisement from a "company" in Connecticut, addressed to all tlieboya in the Hawaiian Islands, and telling them those who inclosed a specified nmnoer of stamps to this company should be put immediately in the way of making a fortune. It think* it too late for Haw aiian lioys to lie caught in any such way aa that. THE UNMAN FANCT DHBRS quoted from abroad is a flower costume. This ia simply an ordinary evening dress with demi-trained skirt, made up eutirely of ruehea of shaded silk, alternately mauve and violet, sewed on a tarlatan founds tion. The ruches are very full, notched on the edges, and caught up between the plaits to look like flower petals. To soften nil this is an overskirt of violet tulle, with long slender vines of dark green leaves of the violet looping the skirt on the hips, and trailing behind for a sash. The dress looks like a huge bouquet of Parmesan violets. BEHIND THE TIMES. —The Japanese have but one newspaper, which cornea out once a month, in the shape of a stitched pamphlet of about 100 pages.
