Farmhouse tfotM. Whitewash.?Mix oxide of zinc with common size and apply it with a brusb, ^ like "lime whitewash, to the ceiling of a room. After this, apply in the same c manner a wash of the chloride of zinc, p which will eombine with the oxide and ^ form a smooth cement with a shining snr- Q face. To Mend China.?Take a very thick solution of gum arabic in water, and stir s into it plaster of Paris until the mixture r becomes of a proper consistency. Apply o It with a brush to the fractured edges of the china, and stick them together. In three days the articles cannot be broken c In the same place. The whiteness of the r cement renders it doubly valuable. j Washing Fluid.?Three tablespoon- i fuls of soda, the same quantity of dis- a solved camphor (the same as kept for family use) to a quart of soft water ; 1 bottle it up and shake it well before us- i ing. For a large washing take four ta- c blespoonfuls of the fluid to a pint of 1 ? ? ?? A r. r. ?\ d fi/\olr soap, muse a wuxui suus uuu w?a clothes half an hour; then make another * suds, using the same quantity of soap s and fluid^and boil them just fifteen min- c utes, then rinse in two waters. Bohemian Cream.?Take four ounces of any fruit you choose which has been stoned and sweetened; pass the fruit through a sieve, and add one and a half ounces of melted or dissolved isinglass to a tialf pint of fruit; mix it well together ; then whip a pint of rich cream, and add the fruit and isinglass gradually to it. Then pour it all into the mould, set it on ice or in a cool place, and when hardened or set, dip the mould a moment in water and turn it out ready for the table. Mm Holes.?Very recently says an exchange we read a recommendation to fanners to fill the mud holes about their homesteads with leaves. A more shiftless resource could not well be thought of. The fact that such mud holes are tolerated, is sufficient proof that the owner of the place is careless or shiftless and to encourage him in the idea that patching them with leaves would be proper, does not strike us as the best of teaching.

Gravel is the very best material. It is porous, cleanly, dry and ( agreeable underfoot in all conditions of 1 weather, and in summer forms a pleasing ] contrast to the surrounding vegetation. The Farmers' Club.?The evenings , are now getting long, and the time will hang heavy unless some system of em- 1 ploying it profitably be adopted and ad- i liered to. Every neighborhood ought to i have a Farmers' Club, and the plan of < meeting at private houses, is, on the whole, the best. There is more freedom ( less formality, and less|Jembarrassment ? than meeting at a public hall. As for j the constitution of a club, the simpler it is the better. As a matter of convenience, we suggest the following simple * form of a constitution: s Art. 1. This association shall be called { the Farmers' Club, and its objects ( shall be to increase the interests and knowledge in agriculture and horticul- * ture in this town. i Art. 2. The officers of the Club shall be a President,Vice-President,Secretary, Treasurer, and a Standing Committee of Three, who shall be choosen annually by ballot, on the first Tuesday of Jan. I uary. i * Art. 3. The officers of the club shall $ constitute a Board of Directors, and ( shall take charge of all the necessary business of the Society, not otherwise 1 provided for by special assignment. I Art. L The Club shall hold regular weekly meetings, and the exercises shall l>e of such a character as shall be from . time to time determined by vote. Art. 5. Any citizen of this town may become a member of this Club by paying one dollar and Signing the constitution. Horace Greeley's Will. The last will and testament of the late Horace Greeley was opened and read in presence of the heirs. The will is to be contested. Mr. Williams, counsel for the contestants, offered some remarks in j regard to the painful duty which he had : been called upon to perform, and recom- i mended that the proponents of the last will should not attempt to get it admitted to probate, but quietly acquiesce in the admission of a will made by Mr. Greeley in January, 1871, in its stead, intimating that the will executed by Mr. Greeley shortly before his death did great injustice to Miss Gabrielle Greeley by giviug all his property to Miss Ida, and that some relatives of Mr. Greeley would he deprived of property intended for theirs. Judge Hart, in reply, btated that the remarks and proceedings of Mr. Williams were very surprising and extrabrdin-! ary, and entirely uncalled for ; that there exists the utmost affection and devotion j between the two sisters; that Miss Ida had voluntarily offered to assign over to , her sister one-lialf of the property left ' by their father, and also grant to other ^ relatives named in the former will of Mr. * Greeley suitable annuities, in fact, more ^ than the amount specified for their bene- r fit- ,. !" Considerable feeling was manifested < by those present in favor of the Misses f Greeley, and indignation toward any t onp who should ieduce the amount of t their legacies a single dollar. ! i By the last will of Mr. Greeley, written < by himself Nov. 0, 1872, the following 1 disposition of his property was made : * Item 1. I give and bequeath all the 1 property of which 1 may die possessed, 1 including lands, mortgages, bonds, notes * of hand, debts, stocks, dues, and obliga- i tioB8 to my eldest daughter, Ida L. 8 Greeley, one-half to be used by her at 1 her own discretion to the education and v support of her sister Gahrielle M. Gree-' ley, the other moiety to be her own in j every right. 5 * Item 2. I give and bequeath my gold ' watch usually worn by me to my second |k daughter, Gabrielle Mariam Grieleyj* aforesaid. j0 By the will executed Jan. 9, 1871, he t divided his property between his two I v daughters and the relatives. He also 0 gave property as follows : , ^ Item. I direct that if any share or c shares in the Tribune Association a shall remain to me at my decease one c of them shall be sold under the rules of said Association to the highest bid- a der, and the proceeds, without deduc- 1 tion or abatement, be paid over as my s bequest to the Children's Aid Society ^ whereof New York city is the focus of c operations, to be invested cr disbursed v as its proper authorities shall direct. e The Wreck of the Guatemala. Capt. A. T. Douglas, of the Pacific lail Steamship Guatemala, gives an ac- T ount of the wreck of his ship. H?ap- h ears to think that the calamity was b [ue to the miscalculation of the third ti iflicer, who, he says, steered a wrong s< ourse and disobeyed orders. After de- * cnbing the manner in which the ship v an aground and the terrible difficulty si if launching the boats, he says : a "At six o'clock the passengers and the tl rew were in the boats and the ship b apidly going to pieces. I found it im- fi >racticable to land eastward of Tonala e 5ar as the surf was running very high, n ,nd we went westward with the inten- a ion of reaching Salinas Cruz. We had lj 10 provisions and many of *s had no b ilothing, with the exception of our n light-clothes; everything, including a b p-eat many valuables, was left in the V ihip. The chief officer was placed in t' ;harge of the port forward boat, con- q aining in all fourteen persons; the p jurser in charge of the gig, with -seven o sersons ; the second officer in charge of a :he life-boat, with thirteen persons, and 1; ;he third officer in charge of the star- ii x>ard forward boat and I retained the g x>rt quarter boat, with eleven in all. t About nine hours after leaving the ship a 1 ?? ^ J3~J a11 in A 1\AOf r toe purser muueu uuu an m i/vnu v were nearly drowned in the attempt. [ went in-shore, but seeing two men *tretched on the beaeh concluded they bad been drewned, and did not land, but kept to the westward. That afternoon and night the wind blew fresh, and the boats were all in sight at sundown. On the 14th at 6 a. m., a strong northwest gale blew, and we found it necessary to land, as it was impossible to keep within sight of the land any longer and remain at sea. At 9 a. m. we landed; but in the effort we were all thrown into the water, yet got to shore safely. After i good deal of difficulty, and by first capturing the chief of the Indian tribe who occupied the place, and threatening liim with death, we succeeded in obtaining waggons and oxen, and made for the eillage of San Francisco del Mar. The purser and myself got horses and went along the beach in search of the other boats, and we found two passengers, >enor Padilla and his son. who had ;ome ashore in the second mate's boat, md he informed us thjit the whole mrty haa landed. Up to leaving Salinas Cruz nothing had been heard of r he chief officer's boat, all parties sent in ; search of themhavi?g returned without idings concerning them. I have no lonbt they were lost on the 14th of Ocober, iu a strong northwest gale blowug at that time." A Singular Superstition1 r\nr% f/^/l in a Ill tl JJIflCUUUllo luauoiuiij iuvuk/u *u u askionable quarter of Sutter street, re- 1 tides a venerable gentleman and an old 11 ritizeu of San Francisco, possessed of a emarkable superstition, which has >laced him under a horrible ban of sns)ense, andjrendered hi?; lite a continuous ratcli against the powers of darkness for uany years. Surrounded by wealth and mlimited facilities for ease and happiless, every hope or pleasure of his existence is dissipated iu the great terror he ucperieuees iu being left alone for a single instant. During the hours of dayight he goes abroad among the busy lirong, attends to his extensive business iffuirs at his counting room, and apparently feels a sense of security, and enjoys omparative tranquility of mind. But *" it nightfall, when he retires to the privacy of his residence, he remains in a I ,'onstant fear that by some mishap he ihould be neglected by his faithful attenlaut for the least period of.time.

The gentleman ( uibject to such uncomfortable apprehensions is the descendant of an old English amily, with the history of which a curi- j ius tradition is associated.

The second yearly report of ii louthern Claims Commission, sent to the I Speaker of the House of Representa- c ives, states that from the organization ti >f the Commission, in March, 1871, to ri he end of November, 1872,17,700 claims c rere filed, in which an aggregate sum of a iver $48,000,000 is claimed. Of these, p ,788 cases, representing 85,424,314 as fi laimed, have been disposed of by d wards amounting altogether to about >1,138,000. About 700 cases, claiming '2,500,000, have been investigated and p re under consideration, the claims ap- 1 >earing meritorious, but the proofs in- n uffioieut on which to frame just awards, ? rhis will leave about 15,000 untouched h ases, amounting to some 837,000,000, c rhen the commission expiree by law c Bobbing a Church. The congregation of Dr. Talmage's abernacle in Brooklyn was much excited y the announcement that the money oxes had been robbed of large sums some me during the past three months. The eats in the Tabernacle are free, but those rho occupy them voluntarily give sums arying from $50 to $250 a year. These nbscnptions are enclosed in envelopes nd put in the boxes which r.re passed irough the aisles by the collectors. The oxes are long and narrow, and, when lied, are set in a row of pigeon-noles on ither side of the platform, and are reloved by the treasurer atter the services re over. The church officers were greatj puzzled to find out who robbed the oxes or how it could have been done unoticed. While a deacon was seated in is pew, a few weeks ago, his eye deected a mysterious movement of one of be money boxes. Tt was observed to uietly slide inward in its place in the igeon-hole until even its longliandle was ut of sight and as quietly slide back gain to its original position. Subsequente AnntliAr and another of the boxes van shed and reappeared to the astonished ;aze of the worthy deacon, who, after the service was over, made a critical examin,tion of the rack, but could discover no :ause tor the mysterious movement a?d leither did he detect the loss of any uoney. A couple ot detectives secreted heraselves in the organ loft and watched ilosely for any movement of the boxes. Their vigilance was at last rewarded, for vhen the morning service was nearly >ver, a son of the sexton of the Taberna;le, was detected coming ont from under he platform. He was at once arrested, ind finding that his manoevres had been vatched, confessed the whole stery. nis jrother, he said, knew he robbed the joxes, and levied blackmail on him on sach and every occasion after making a aid. He had ingeniously removed the vood-work at the end of the pigeon-hole ind then drew the boxes toward him aking out the large subscriptions in the ravelopes, and leaving the stamps undis;urbed. Over S600 had been stolen in his way, and shared between the sexton's ions. The sexton himself was ranch afected, and cried like a child when he leard of the disgraceful proceedings.

A New York paper discussing this sub- ^ ject says:?The first consideration is for * that rt>be of virgin white in which the Q maiden may appropriately make her vow p of life lasting love and obedience. It p should be of heavy satin, a train three * yards long, trimmed up the front with t pufis of illusion between innumerable d satin ruffles; the puffings of illusion and r raffles of satin running up and down on the train about a quarter of a yard, with a deep scolloped raffle of satin above, t The waist cut low, trimmed with puffings s of illusion and point lace. The entire ^ dress, waist and skirt, ornamented with i sprays of orange blossoms. As we never r grumble at the prioe of a funeral or mar- t 1 ge, we silently lay down our first 1 $500, \ Next we must consider her fiist recep- i tion dress. We must have it of rich gros t grain silk, peach blow, the waist cut f high and trimmed with point applique; i a deep applique flounce on the skirt, and i a train two yards and three-quarters 1 long. For this we pay 8600. Our lovely young maiden mlist now ; have a walking suit of sage green, two i shades to be used; the lighter for the body of the dress, the dark for ruffling \ and plaiting. The waist and overskirt ' are to be trimmed with black thread lace; j skirt made demi-train, with a ruffle at 1 the bottom of box plaits, and a wide * pointed ruffle above. For this elegant walking suit we may expect to give $300. ' < *For her little trip to Washington, she must have a travelling dress of cashmere, made with postillion, overskirt and demi-train, trimmed with silk of the same color; and for this we need expend only $85. A morning wrapper of cashmere is necessary, trimmed down the front and around the bottom with silk. It costs only $50. Our dainty pet always has within doors the air of summer about her. She is herself concentrated sunshine. Her life is all summer now, and she would look lovely in and must absolutely have a morning wrapper of Nainsook, made elaborately, with Valenciennes lace and puffings, at $100. A bridal outfit for underclothing, consisting of one dozen night-dresses, two dozen chemises, two dozen pair of drawers, cue dozen corset covers, one dozen breakfast saccules. and one dozen shirts. made in sets. The most elaborate set would be made as follows: Night dress, body of fine cambric, yoke, back and front, and rich puffing of linen cambric down the front of the robe: Valenciennes lace insertions and embroidery. This handsome set, each garment trimmed in the same way, is worth 8250. The second set, made a little plainer, we can get for S150, the third for ?100, while the cheaper ones, made with iuser- i tions, come at $40. Our beautiful bridal belle must also have, for her actual comfort,half a dozen embroidered flannel skirts, that will cost from $8 to 825 apiece. Such is an exact description of the bridal outfit furnished in Broadway and Eleventh street by McGreery; and of the dozens of magnificent robes, made up except the fitting of the waist, which is basted, which were exhibited at his opening a month ago, it is amazing that scarcely one remains unsold. Add to the above the handkerchiefs, hosiery, fans, glcves, etc., which we buy for our brillant Isabella on the first floor of tlie store, anil tne Dill easily amounts to three thousand dgllars?sometimes four?although many ladies, even those who have plenty money, are satisfied with what can be supplied for a thousand. Add to this the unnumbered shoes and hats which must be purchased elsewhere and we can estimate the inevitable expense attendant .upon our marrying Isabella. A Texas Sunday. A correspondent of the Atlanta Constitutionalist writing from San Antonio, Texas, gives this account of the place 011 Sunday. This is Sunday, and I'll try and tell you what I've seen to-day. In the 1 morning I passed untold numbers of barrooms, and in all of them people,and the best citizens, too, playing billiards or cards, of coarse for drinks, and "for the crowd really, if you won't drink and play billiards on Sunday you are not respectable. There are more bar-rooms in San Antonio than any place out of Texas to its size in the United States, As I sit. in my room now at ten o'clock at night, I hear the band playing at the i i _ circus, anil not very iar is a panorama on exhibition. To-day I was walking along the streets when I was suddenly startled by hearing a lot of boys shouting and the band playing. I looked up, and just then it al came in sight. It was this: the circus^ with all its riders, performers, etc., in regular circus style, were coming down j the street with the band playing, the I boys shouting, and ever so many Mexi- j cans and stragglers following them. Remember, this was Sunday. Imagine all the bar-rooms open on Sunday at , home, billiard playing, drinking, and |, last but not by any means least, a troupe i of performers, dressed in their "tights,'' > riding down the street, witli a band play- ,1 The Presidency.?

At a meeting of the Western Iron Association, held in Pittsburg, the price of iron was reduced to 812 per ton, and the price of Dails. which ot late has been advancing in the market, was reduced half a dollar per keg. The recent decline in the prices of pig metal aocounts for the reduction. * Seventeen Hfndrbd Offices to be i lbolished.? The Committee on Ways nd Means, at Washington, have reported bill abolishing all Internal Revenue Aloes, except collectors. This will disoee of about 1,700 officers in this department of the civil service. All the rork of assessing and collecting the nternal Revenue thus falls on t"he collecors alone. It is claimed that this reluction will save the Government one aillion of dollars. The Successful Physician.?Dr J. talker is achieving an eminent distincion as a benefactor of his species. Some tigmaiize all patent medicines with the >dious epithet of quackery. But Db. iV a leer's California Vinegar Bitters lave the endorsement of the medical irofession. The editor can conscien-. iously and cordially recommend the nedicine, because he knows he has found p-eat benefit from its use. For nearly wenty years he has suffered from da angement of tho stomach. And though ;ho disease has become chronic, he has ilready obtained great relief from this emedy. A physician left at his death a arge volume, carefully sealed, and sup ;>osod to contain a fund of medical know edge. On being opened, it was found x> contain only this simple advice : " Keep your head cool, yonr.feet warm md your bowels open." But there is a whole volume in this maxim.

Dyspeptics liavf certainly a right to continue dyspeptics te the end ol their days if they choose, but as it is not supposed that iny rational being prefers physical torment to case and tieslth, the probability is that if all sufferers from itidift stion were convinced that an absolute, infallible remedy for their complaint existed, they would with one iccord resort to it. We most emphatically declare that such a remedy doe3 exist, and that its name is Hostet;er's Stomach Bitters. The record of its success extendi1 )ver a period of mere than twenty-five years, and it is fearlessly alleged that daring the whole of that time it has never failed to afford permanent relief in any dis?rdar? or derangements of the stomach that was not organic, malignant, and. incurable. The testimonials hat go to establish this important fact can be counted ->j the thousand. Stomach complaints that had been iggravated by a total disregard of all dietary rules, and ntensified and rendered chronic by medicinal treatment or drastic purgation, have in hundred of instances oeen cured within three months by the systematic nse ol his celebrated stomachic and alterative. It should bt remembered that weakness of the digestive organs nvolvee many other ailments.
