Tarmhouse JNotes. SaXjTIKg Farm Stock.?A correspondent is informed bv the Rural New Yorkt) that it believes it promotes, nay, is essential to> the health of stock that salt be provided where animals can have constant and free aocess to it. It is well Aafahiifihad bv acipntifio investication that such is the case. Farmkbs, Let us Hear from You. ? We extend to all our farmer friends an invitation to communicate with us and with our great reading world, by sending their articles on agriculture, horticulture, stock-raisiDg, pomology, and other subjects of interest to cultivators of the soil. We may not be able to print all that we receive, but shall con dense the matter so that many can get a hearing through our agricultural columns. Farmers let us hear from you. Boirx Meal,?The last quarterly report of the Chemical Committees of the Royal Agricultural Society of England contains an analysis of bone meal imported into that country from the United State?, that shows it was largely adulterated with plaster, glauber salts and common salt.; matters which it were vain to say could bv any accidental means have become mingled therewith. A doableedged r- flection here immediately occurs; ho v unwise for us to permit bones to be export**] which are absolutely necessary for ou w 1 ?es, and, on the other hand, haviutf this experience, we should be on our gu ,rd to detect the fraud, which is doubtle^ nUo practiced on purchasers at home. F auds in fertilizers are of the basest sort. btvads wtwtsp sits t v rpfnro wiater seta in, break np sward land for next spring's planting. Be careful to turn a lap furrow and not a flat one, as the water runs through and the frost acts upon it best when thus turned. Before winter sets in, clean out barn yard, barn oellar, and hog pen, and cart oontents to fields where the manure will be wanted. Heavy work of this kind, now when the team is strong, should be pushed diligently, as it will be so, much gained toward forwarding operations in spring. Before winter sets in, see that both swine and poultry have laid on all the fat they are expected to have before killed. * Cold nights eat up in warming animals about air the food you give them through the day. You can't ? make flesh and fuel at the same time, very profitably at least Before winter sets in, *see that all root crops are properly housed. It is a provoking experiment to try the effects of frost on roots that have to be digged by pick or crowbar. Early November is full late enough to have mangolds or'rutabagas in the ground, but English turnips, sown in August, will continue to grow even later than tbi9. Before winter sets in, sort over winter apples and barrel up such as are sound and fair. Put them in a cool nellar well ventilated, and thev will probably sell in spring for more than yon can get for them now The patient waiter is sometimes a great gainer. Before winter sets in, protect your orchards from canker worms by tarring or applying printer's ink to the trees from time to time, or by permanent fixtures that will stop their ascent. Of these there are now several competitors, the merits of which can be ascertained only by careful and repeated experiments. Don't invest very largely in this way, till you have some better asgurence than an agent's say so that his patient is the best out. , Before winter sets in, gather toP geather all farm implements and garden tools, and of a rainy day give them a thorough examination and repairing. See that they are well cleaned, oiled or painted, and then carefully laid away in a dry place under cover. Rist and rot eat up money as fast as interest, or fire. Avoid the former as carefully as you do the latter, ifyou would make the most for yourself.

The funeral of Mary Ann Smith, alias Munde Merrill, the murdered girl, took place from the establishment of the undertakers. The body was enclosed in a walnut casket, with silver mountings, bearing a plate giving the name, age, (tweutv years,) and date of the death of the murdered woman at Neilson place. At toon the crowd was so great around the store that the door had to be closed, and an officer stationed outside to keep out all except the friends of the deceased. The c? ffio, on which was laid a floral anchor and wreath, was placed in the oenter of the store. At the head sat the sister of the deceased, an intelligent young girl <f seventeen, while around the remains were twenty of the murdered girl's companions. Several clergymen of different religious denominations had been requested to perform a funeral service over the body but all re fused, The undertaker at length got Kev. John J. JBrouner, pastor of the North Baptist Church, and at H o'clock the service commenced. The ouly men present besides the undertaker and clergyman were three reporters. The solemn service having been read, the reverend gentleman engaged in a long and deeply-affecting prayer. Be then addressed the women present, dwelling on th6 tragic death of their unfortunate friend, and implored them by the memory of their infant days, their affectionate parents and in the name of every thing high and holy, to determiue over the dead btdv of their companion to gir9 up a life of sin and shame aDd 6eek to lead virtuous lhes. The poor things were deeply affeoted. The body was then plaoed in a I parse and followed by three ooaohes to Greenwood. ? i.r. Y, Paper.

The Hew York Hotel Fire. The Fire Marshall of New York City has made the following report relative to the Fifth avenue hotel fire:?There is nc room for doubting that the fire originated in room Now 505, occupied by Alary Groves, the room being situated inside the servants' hall between the second and third floors of the hotel. Room 505 is six by nine feet. The bed stood on the east side of the room, and the elevator was at the south-west corner. .This elevator ran from the laundry in the basement to the top floor of the house and through rooms similar to No. 5<'5. Now for the cause of the fire: From some unfortunate accident, possibly from stepping on a match when getting into bed, Mary Groves's garments were set on fire. They smouldered until after she was asleep, and then the dames burst forth. The dralt through the ejpvutor carried both smoke and flame from the room to the top of the house before the heat became sufficient to wake the sleeping woman, and when she became aroused her face was badly burned but her body being covered by the bedclothes, was protected. Her room was then all ablaze, and she rushed out, leaving the door open, and getting into the corridor of the mam building, gave the first alarm to the inmates of the hotel. I am satisfied that the domitorv occupied by the scrubbers was filled to suffocation with smoke and flame carried through the elevator to that point. My opinion is that the sufferers were suffocated before being burnt, inasmuch as the fire had to burn from the hallway through the partition walls into their rooms bofore the fire reached their bodies. The time thus consumed would be fifteen or twenty minutes. The elevator naturally filled with smoke and fire first, and as the upper stories filled the smoke backed down, and fire and smoke were seen in the lower stories. This accounts for the fire being discovered simultaneously on all the floors. The screams of the girls in the dormitories were heard almost immediately on the discovery of the fire below. Death of Mrs. Disraeli. The illness of the -wife of Mr. Disraeli has terminated in death. She was the daughter of Capt. Viney Evans, R. N., and neice of General Sir James Viney, TT f! R . nf Tjivnton Manor. Gloucester shire. Her given name was Marian. Early in life she married Wyndham Lewis, Esq , afterwards a member of Parliament and a colleague of Mr. Disraeli. She survived Mr. Lewis, and in 1839 married, as a wealthy widow, the young " Bohemian " who had struggled into Parliament, was struggling with good prospects of success to get a hearing in the House of Commons, to whose fame ho has since added, and was, before this happy event relieved him of anxiety, fighting a losiDg battle with financial and social difficulties. The marriage was a most happy one. Not very long ago, when Mr. Disraeli was on his way to the House of Commons laden with a great speech, his wife had her finger crushed by the door of her carriage. Her husband had not noticed the accident, and his heroic wife, though in perfect agony, refused to speak of it, lest it should disturb the subject upon which the orator was meditating. When Disraeli was about leaving office in D68 the Queen offered him a peerage, but he declined anything for himself, adding that anything Her Majesty rtrtni/i for hi* wife would be more ac I ceptable to bim than honor confered od himself. Mrs. Disraeli was, in arcoidance with this suggestion, created Viscountess of Beaconsfield, and it is no exaggeration to say that Disraeli never saw a prouder moment than when he handed the Queen's patent to the " perfect wife," to whom?and it is no disparagement to him to 6tate that fact?many of his triumphs were due. This happy union, which has just been seveied by death, was blessed with no children. The family liad a beautiiul residence in London. Coal and Corn'.?Coal is SI7 a ton at St. Paul, and cord wood $8 per 9 cubic feel. In the Western States wood is scarce, and the cost of marketing very expensive : hence the use of corn as fuel Experiments with this cereal show that 8t the present prices of corn in the Western cornfields there is economy and comfort in its use. A ton of corn, 03 bushels, at 17 cents per bushel, costs $5.60. This is equal to a cord of hard wood, as supplied and measured in corn, at $7; cutting of the cord, $1.50; total, 50. Thus making a saving of nearly $3 a cord. For kitchen fuel corn is superior to wood, except hickory, and cheaper than that. It makes a hot file with a great blaze. The adaptability of this grain to fuel is on account ot the presence of a verv large per cent, of dextrine (gum) and albnminous matter ij both the kernel and cob. The Boiler Question. ? Scientific papers are discussing the boiler question very seriously. An engineer, who wishes to have his say in the discussion, writes; I have run a 6team engine 17 years, and one time seeing steam coming out ?if a sheet of iron in one side of the boiler, I went in and examined the place where the steam came out and not being satisfied, let the steam run down and stopped the work. We had on at the time 60 lbs of steam, and when we came to examine the boiler after the steam was down we found a place about 12x22 inches thai was rusted almost through. The sounc I iron was not thicker than the shell of t wasps nest, and yet it held against the pressure of 60 lbs of steam. Thii satisfied me that no ordinary pressun ( of steam blows up a boiler. Keep th< t water at the proper height in a boile: L and such disasters will be scarce. Some bad boys .at Muscatine, Iowa ately locked a church and forced the ongregation to get out at the windows 4 Death of Edwin Forrest. The eminent tiagedian, Edwin For rest, died suddenly at his residence in < i Philadelphia, at the age of* sixty-six I . years. The veteran actor's half century j - of service in his profession has made 1 , his presence and his fame so familiar to 1 two generations of play-goers that it is ^ , nft necessary to recall all the incidents ( of his long and successful career. Born j in Philadelphia in 1806, he begau, at ( the early age of ten years, to reveal his ( predilections for the stage, and in 1817 | .appeared at the Apollo Theatre in that ( city, as Lady Anne, in the play of "Douglas." Three years later, he took x the part of Young Norval at the Tivoli Gardens in the same city ; and in No i vember, 1820, made his appearance on a regular stage at the Walnut Street i Theatre, in the same character. He met with a cool reception in this bold ven- i ture, but was not disoouraged. Resolv- . ing to win his way, he devoted himself < to hard study, and in January 1821, took , his first benefit uDder more promising circumstances. He was then but fifteen t years old. Determined to strike out a < path for himself, he went to Cincinnati in the Fall of 1822, and appeared at Col* r lius <fc Jone3* Theatre in the character ^ of Malford, in 44 The Soldiers' D.iugh- f t r." Afterward he played Ricbard. From Cincinnati he went to Louisville, where be appeared for the first time as ( Othello?thus beginning the long line of Shakespearian representations for ^ which he has since become famous, flis early experiences in the West, however, were not joyful. Reduced at last to the extreme of necessity, he joined a circus company, as tumbler and rider, at a salary of twelve dollars a week, and un derwent various vicissitudes for several years. In 1826, fortune began to favor , liim, and in July of that year he made his first appearance as a 44 star" at the Chestnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia, in the character of Othello. From that time onward his career was a success. In 1836 he went to England, and in Oc- . tober of that year first appeared on the London stage at Drury Lane, as Spartacus. DuriDg this visit, he was married to Miss Catherine Sinclair, who divorced from him at her own request many years ago, has since resided in this city and 1 on Staten Island. On the return of Mr. Forrest from England in 1837, be entered into an engagement at the Park Tueatre, where he received an enthusiastic welcome?^he receipts for the first three nights of his performances amounting to $4,200. In 1845, after continued and * successful engagements in this country, * he agaiu visited England, and appeared - - ? < mi A? _ T J ' at tiie .frincesss ineaire iu iiuuwm a? Macbeth. Having been hissed on his reappearance, he ascribed that indignity j to the intrigues of ^Ir. Macready, and 1 the ill-feelipg thus engendered between | the eminent tragedians continued with ( out abatement until it culminated in the j outrageous attack upon Mr. Macready j on his appearance in this city, at the Astor Place Opera House, iu May, 1849. t Forrest's first appearance in New York ( after his divorce took place at the Broad way Theatre, in February, 1852, when , he played Damon?the engagement lasting for sixty-one nig 'ts. He afterwards made a professional tour of the United i States, playing a round of j3liakes,?erian \ characters. In 1855, announcing bis intention to retire into private life, he < purchased an elegant mansion on i Broad street, Philadelphia, and did not ( again appear upon the stage till the sea J son of 1860-61, when tempting offers were made to him by Mr. James M. j Nixon, which were accepted. lie Con- i tinued to appear at intervals until J866, ( when he made his first appearance in I San Francisco in the character of Ricbe lieu. During the past five or six years 1 he has taken frequent "farewells" of the stage, only to be re-enticed by profitable opportunities and at the solicitation of his friends. < The New Presidential Bill. Mr. Bank's proposed constitutional amendment has the following provisions :? " The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of six years. No person elected to the office of President shall be eligible for re-election. "The Vice-President shall hold his office during the term of six years. The President and Vice-President shall be cho.-en by the electors qualified to vote in the election of Representatives to the : Congress of the United States at an election which shall be held for that run | pose, od the same day appointed in the several States for the election of Representatives to Congress, in such manner and under such regulations as Congress may by law direct." .Suppose, says a reviewer, a President dies early iu his term and the Vice-President succeeds, what is to prevent him i from using all the powers of his office to ! secure another lease ? He was not elect- J ed President, and therefore does not come under the provision marked. The Cholera in Russia.?I' appear* from official statistics just published at 1 St. Petersburgh, that during the past ' . year over 80,000 persons died of cholera alone in Russia. At the present moment small-pox is adding its terrors, J -1 * ? r? r? ivrvnal m Aftol ifu UL!U It IS IfUTCU l/UUb au cijuai luunuuvj 1 will result from that disease before its 1 i spread cau be cheeked. The chief cause - of the spread of these terrible diseases > is ascribed to the negligeoce of the aut thorities. Id that country the rules of I governmental authority are so severe i that no private individual dares to iut troduce sanitary reforms on his own ae? count, or take means ior checking the i spread of disease in community exceps i under orders. The consequence is, when r a contagious disease is introduced it is left to work its way unmolested until the necessary orders are issued by the govj ernment for-the adoption of precautionary measures. Bo Hice to be Engaged. Every one must have noticed the great lifference, as a general thing, between * ;he conduct of the young betrothed man * ind the young betrothed woman. He, I the braver and stronger of the two, is 1 itterly confused and bashful, and seeks * to make a secret of the fact. She, on the * jontrary. tries to parade it, is proud of * t, assumes a certain air of proprietorship * yver him, and offers to her friends little c lelicate confidences as to how nice it is * o be engaged, and how dreadfully jeal- e jus he is if she looks at any one else. The cause of this is just one thing; 1 the man is in love ; the girl is not. 1 I have studied human nature, I have f ooked into the depths of hearts, I have nade man and woman the study of my ife, and I aver that the girl in love is L arer than a black rose. She simply ' las for her lover exactly the feeling that s ;he young mother has" for ber baby. 0 She has an anxious desire to see to him c 'or life, to make sure that he is comfort- 1 a?a oil on/1 ^ lUie, til ill U18 UUI'IUUO (UC an uguv, auu ;hat his food is what it ought to be. * 3he understands that he is in love with * ler, and rejoices in the knowledge. L The idea of losing his love is madness to 1 aer, but of herself she does not under- * >tand it. 6 A woman who *is riot selfish, and r I greedy, and mean, who does not smile an any one who can give Ler fine clothes 1 md grand establishment, overflows with * the mother feeling all her life. She ex- s pends it on her dolls in childhood, on 1 ber poodle, or her kitten, or her canary } afterward, and, when the time comes, ^ on her lover. Many a man would lose a great deal of his conceit and vanity if he knew just how the girl whom he supposed to be in love with him really felt. ' She, also, would be surprised to hear j that she was not in love at all, but only delighted to have some one in love with ] her, and in a measure awakened to the j knowledge of that love which she will J some day give her children. It is t&e ' best sort of love too, and when a man's j wife really loves him, she makes him < happy. | But I think it is time that some one j who knows the truth should tell it. A j good woman's love is something to be happy in?not the fleetng gallantry that j man calls by that name, but a pjure and i high affection, and with so much of the ! motherly and protecting iu it, that I i have often heard a little eighteen-year- j :>ld woman say of a six-footer of two hnn- i 3red pounds w'eight, and a brigadier j general to boot: \ "Oh, isn't he a darling, cunning lit- * ile th ing ?

Even yet, in spite ot the teachings of centuries of expt - * rience, some physicians believe in depleting their 1 patients, already seriously exhausted by sickness, with j powerful evacuants. emetics, sali van ts, rant haridal p!a.?- i ters. or the lancet. But, providentially, public intell cence is ahead of the<?medical fossils, who belong, of right, to the era of the Crusades: That powerful ally of nature in its warfare with the causes of sicknes". Hoeletter's Stomach Bitters, has opened the eye? of the masses to the paramount importance of increasing the vital strength of the body when menaced by disease. They understand that when the atmospheric conditions are adversed to health -a*, for example, in damp, chilly or severely cold weather?it is wise to reinforce the system with a wholesome tonic and stimulant, and thus enable it to combat and repel the depressing influence of an inclement temperature. If the constitutional and animal power* were always thus recruited in the preaence ot da- ger, the mortality from oonsnmptnn, bronchitis, chronic rheumatism. Ac , would be much less than it is now.

In 1814, Lady Francis WiJson, daugher of the Earl of Aylesbury, was inormed by Archdeacon Potts that a >arishioner of his name Wright* then ying dead at a poor lodging-house in ?imlico, had left her avalaable estate in lampshire. The fair legatee ridiculed he idea, as she knew no such individual, lowever, she went to Pimlico, and retognizcd her defunct friend as a constant requenter of the opera, who had annoytd her by continually staring at her here. One would naturally suppose hat the friendless man had fallen in ove with the lady, or been attracted, >erhaps, by her resemblance to some ost love of his youth. There may have >een some tender feeling in the case ; >ut, then, how are we to account for his eaving ?4,000 to the Countless of Roslyn, ?4,000 to the Speaker of the House >f Commons, and ?1,000 to the Chansellor of the Excheque?all of whom rere ignorant of his existence ? The vorthy Archdeacon would have scouted he notion of the man being insaue, for iad he not proved himself in his right nind by leaving ?1,000, " as a mark of pprobation of a sermon he had heard lim preach ?" In 1772, a Monmouthhire squire left ?20,000 to a laboring nan to whom he would not speak while iving. A Air. Furstone left ?7,000 to he first man bearing his surname, who ihould produce and marry a female Furitone. This was one way for a lone nan to provide himself with heirs ; but ve prefer the practice of honest George Watts, of Stoke-Bishop, who, having no cinsman or kinswoman to whom he could bequeath sundry cottages of which he iad, by industry, and self-denial, made limself proprietor, left each of his humble tenant8 the cottage in which they lived. Epizootic. ? Mr. Editor : Nearly every nan has a remedy for Ibis disease, and we will iive free our experience. We have treated fourteen horses ot our own, and have known >ur remedies used in many cases and in all with quick and sure success. Frst ktep the lorees warm, in a well ventilated stable; feed jn bran and soft food generally, (apples and vegetables are good), and give him 1-2 oz. of Allen's Lung Baham, or the contents of a large spoon three times a day ; this will act just as on humanity, cause the horse to throw iff the mucus and thus get relief. If this Hough is hard, give occasionally a drench of Davis' Pain Killer, of 1 oz. Pain Killer to a pint of warm water sweetened with molasses. 3ive of this one or two swallows at a lime, Irom the bottle. The first attack of the disease is Bronchitis, and the drench of Pain Killer will be of great service tojqaiet and heal ;he irritation. Bathe with Pain Killer the ihroat. In Cincinnati, where all the horses aave been sick, we know of no treatment that ias given quicker or more sure relief. That which is good for man is also good for the lorse in similar affections.

If a member of the faculty should discover an absolute remedy for any disease it would be a branch of professional decorum, to offer the specific for sale through the Journals pf the day. Scorning such prejudices one oi our leading practitioners is now making known to the public through the columns of over three thousand newspapers, one of the most comprehensive remedies for disease that has ever assuaged the sufferings of hnmanity. Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bit ters, although comparatively a new medicine, has already attracted the attention cf millions in both hemispheres. It has been advertised through all the channels accessible to advertising enterprise, and the result has been the preservation of thousands of lives, and the prevention of an untold amount of physical torture. Dr. Walker thinks that the "greatest good of the greatesttiumber" is the true object of medical science, and hence he steps boldly out of the con tracted circle ?f professional exclusiveuess, and places his Glreat Restorative within the reach of all. It? beneficial effect in cases of chronic dyspepsia, biliousness, kidney disease,gout, diseases of throat and lung?, rheumatism, nervous complaints, and all disorders of the secretive and excretive organs, is beyond nil estimate.?Coot. * A CHALLENGE la extended to the world to place before the public a belter rough or lung remed> than ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM.
