"Yes, you may think that it is alt right to have your garden planted under six inches of snow, but I would rather hove my seed out of the ground until the weather gets warm." Mr. G. "I am glad that we do not all act and think alike ; but I want to toll you that onions, lettuce and peas, germinated at a low temperature, just as soon as the snow is gone, will thrive, if the soil is adapted to their culture." Mrs. G. Yes ; but 1 will have lettuce, onions and peas just as soon as you will. When the weather is warm they will germinate faster." Mr. G. "That may be true about germinating quicker in hot weather, but I want to say that if you have not plant ed your onions, lettucq and peas, you will beat me with pea vines, onion tops and lettuce leaves, but I shall beat you with onions, heads of lettuce and bask ets of peas."

One of our citizens went to .Brown's store and purchased a box of shells. Iff stated to the store keeper that there were bears in his henhouse. The storekeeper being a great hunter, put some shells in his pocket, grabbed his gun and away they went up the hill in a hurry, neither one having breath enough to utter asingle word. On reach ing the spot, the man stationed the store keeper on the corner of the hen house in case he should miss the bears and standing at the runway would then be in close touch to fetch him down. The man coming from the hen house said, "There they arc on the side of the barn," and at the same time shooting at the barn. The store-keeper shaking with freight said, "I don't see any bears." "Well," ho said, "Look on the hill and see those white deer," and at the same time shooting in that direction, by this time the storekeeper commenced to think that he would be safer in the jungles of South Africa hunting bears with our ex-president, than with a man who had a whole menagerie.
