They are not " ongkeepers. Raise Hubbard squashes c and you can keep them until spring. He c also asks about dried pumpkins. They may b? cut in slices and dried in the j* sun or near the stove.

To relieve a choked 0 ox or cow, give at once one-half pint melted hog's lard, and exercise the ani- J mal. It sickens the stomach, and the * obstruction will pass immediately either J > up or down, as the animal will cough 1 and swallow at once, and thus get re- 8 lief. Put the warm lard in a junk bot- c tie and raise the animals head?it will c run down easy. This is the surest and 1 safest remedy known, and never fails if 1 administered soon after the accident oc- c /*nra * 1 Boston Brown Brbad.?A lady wishes t the recipe for Boston brown bread. I a copy the fallowing from a paper publish- \ ed in a city near Boston. I have not c tried it, for I almost invariable boil my t brown bread, which we think is excel- I lent, and husband says is superior to t Boston bread:?Four coffee cupfuls of j sifted Indian meal; two cups coarse j flour, either wheat or rye ; one teaspoon- t ful salt; one tea-cup molasses, and boil- a ing water enough to make it as thick r as griddle-cake batter. When nearly i cool add half a cup of yeast, either j home-made or distillery. Put the mix- ^ ture into an iron baking dish, cover t tightly, let it stand in a warm place till s it cracks over the top (which should be smoothed over with wet hands before it is placed to rise). Bake it Ave or six hours in a moderate oven, which will not burn the crust to a cinder. Packing Better.? At a meeting of j the Bucks County (Pa.) Agricultural i ? i vnoonfltt rt clinrf occov Viv AfitiQ ! MUl iCVJ 1vwumj n owvi v vooiij mj *<a?wu i Kate Craven, of Newtown, was read in ! response to the question, "Can butter be packed to advantage in June or July for winter use ?" Miss Craven, was decidedly in favor of packing butter in early summer, when the price is usually so low as to be unprofitable. If properly put up then it cannot be surpassed. It must bo fresh and good or it will not keep well. Her receipt is: For twenty ] pounds of butter take one and a quarter \ pounds of salt, one ounce pulverized 1 \ saltpetre, and a small quantity of white 1 sugar, which should be worked into the I j butter and left over night. Next day , work again, make into lumps, put into j a stone vessel, and cover with brine < strong enough to bear an egg. Lay a , bag filled with salt in the vessel and re- ? plenish when empty. Do not remove , the butter long before it is needed. j t The Yoke TJxeasy.?Even the speed ( of the ox is increased by the use of the j horse gear; when by means of the yoke, . ho is fastened to the vehicle only by the j neck, his body sways awkwardly about, his forefeet close to the tongue, and his 1 hind ones often at a distance from it; '' with this angular movement he seems ^ a 1oV\a* of o rrrAof /UoorlxratifnwA \v)invn. I as, in the harness, the bady of tho ani- | mal is kept in a direct line with its work, which must be of great advan tage. The increase of power and speed, obtainable in working oxen by the method here commended, to say nothing of the relief to the poor beast in ridding it of a heavy and unyielding pressure upon that most sensitive part of the animal, the top of the vertebra?, ; should be sufficient inducement for our farmers to substitute the harness for the yoke. For the sake of mercy, let some means be devised and adopted to ; relievo the patient ox from the torture , of tho yoke. j Sheep.?It lias been quite well set tled bv reDeated exDeriments that from two I and a half to three pounds of good hay, I or its equivalent, is necessary to the j support of life and condition, for one j day, of 100 lbs. of live weight of sheep. To fatten sheep more than this quantity of food must be given, and it i.s only the excess that will appear in the growth of the animals. Suppose a fecde* puts into his yards on the first day of December 100 Merino wethers or dry ewes that are of proper age and in good con- j dition, say three years old, ami average ' in weight 100 lbs. each. Such a flock will require 300 lbs. of hay per day % (including wastage) to keep them iu the same cohditiou. But allowance should be made in weighing the sheep full of grass, or for some time they "will not hold their first weight good. The change from green to dry food will be attended with some apparent loss in weight, and to make the trial fairly the weight of the sheep should not be taken until they I have been some days on dry food. Steaming Food for Animals?Early- ' -err Hay.?It is now generally conceded I that cooking food for animals adds from j n fn JH nrvr in ift* tlirrpafiliilifv il ami nourishment. In England, where ; r the hay and straw is cut fine, wet, and j n sprinkled with oilcake and other meal, j v. the loss from feeding raw is not so p great, particularly if fed to animals which d chew the cud; but the best farmers 'ii there are now beginning to steam' all t their feed, roots included. It was de- \ cided at a lengthy debate of farmers at c the State Agricultural Society that grass j< and clover cut in full bloom contain o about one-fourth more nourishment s than when cut dead ripe. Yet it was p conceded that grass before it began to h shed its seed promoted the heaves in horses. Hence it was that ripe hay only commanded the highest price in the New York City market. Solon Robin- t son said that 1,000 horses in the Third Avenue Railroad stables were fed each day 14 pounds of good ripe timothy ^ finely chopped and wet, mixed with 16 j( pounds of corn, oat, or wheat meal. There can be no doubt that steaming pucli feed would add to its digestibility n much more than the losg in the over- r ripo hay. t] u The man who is equal to himself is e generally a match fflt others. h e The Dangers of the Sea. Only a few moments after the steamer lermany, of the Atlantic line, lost at ea, struck she began to fill rapidly and 3 break up. Then the Jives of all on oard were placed in the greatest jeoprdy. It was night; the steamer kepi tea'dily going to pieces, and it became igh unto impossible to remain on deck, wept as this was every moment from tern to stern by furious waves. Al ight p. M. the main-mast fell, followed aif an hour later by the foremast, thai arried with it into the raging sea and tc ertain death seven unfortunates. The errible trials lasted throughout the ight, the situation of those on board ecoming more desperate every mo lent. The cracks of the breaking tim ers of the Germany were repeatedly ccompanied by terrible, heartrending ppeals of friends and companions being wept away by the lashing sea. A single rave bore off a mother and her fou: hildren. About five a. m. a young lady of eigh een, that had passed the night near the >ow of the steamer, found the positior intenable and endeavored to reach the entre, but, upset by a huge wave, she ras, despite the brave efforts of an offi er to rescue her, borne with awful vio price scrainst the sides of the vessel anc iterally crushed to death. Her agon zing cries but added to the fright of the urvivors and redoubled the horrors o; he scene. After the break of day the first voy .ge made to a fishing craft which lay bj he wreck proved most unfortunate 3y overcrowding and precipitation the )oat was overturned, and six of those erho had gone into her drowned. Oi eaving the wreck a father was forced t< ibandon the lifeless corpse of his infan >f seven months that died in his arm: luring the struggles of that awfu light. The declarations of the'principa ifhcers of the steamer attribute the los >f the Germany to certain false ma iceuvres of the pilot, but this one, i icensed pilot of Bordeaux, taken oi >oard at Liverpool, affirms that the dis ister is due to a thick fog which, un mown to him, shut off the light of Cor lonan. When the danger was discovcre< he steamer was already between Li ffauvaise and Coubra Point, and al he subsequent efforts of the pilot t< movent her striking the latter therefor moved unavailing. An investigation i o be commenced by the Governmen luthorities. The Germany was a mag lificent. screw steamer of 2,075 tons iVhen she left Liverpool she had 12 lersons on board, twenty-nine of then ?e passengers, xnirteeu ui iuc view nui liirteen passengers were lost?twenty tlx in all. Incidents at a Fair. About the Place de la Bastille, Paris here is a regular Fair, the booths Ueiii| noro numerous than common, but al stocked with children's toys. A pale van, emaciated young woman, Icadini i little boy by the hand, was seen goin] ibout from booth to booth, and botl jazing wistfully at the things whicl vere beyond their reach. Both wer neanly, scantily clad, and both showci races of great poverty, and of pro onged misery. On passing a boot) where a number of dolls were spreai jut in a basket, the boy took one in hi land, but was immediately Bcized b; he dealer. He brutally seized the chili jy the ear, and cried: "Help! help! \ crowd was instantly collected, andth xilice soon upon the spot. The poo nother clasped her hands in supplies ;ion. " Oh! pardon him!" she prayed 1 he is only seven years of age?he hai 10 toys?nothing?and he wanted on so much!" The dealer turned his rag lpon her and called her an accomplice ind, in spite of the protests of all pres ?nt, he insisted upon having both ai rested, and preferred a chargo of rol: tiery against them. Both have remaine< n custody up to this moment, awaitin their turn for trial. A far more pleas mt Boene occurred on the Boulevar Bonne Nouvelle. A member of on American colony was walking abou with his little girl, five years of ag< when they met a procession of orpha uhildren. The little girl asked th meaning of their checked costume an blue ribbons, and on being told the they were poor-girls who had no pai ?nts, she asked who gave them thci Sew Year's gifts. On being told the they had none, she was greatly aflectcc ind proposed that she should give ther lior toys. Touched himself, or anxiou to encourage the charitable dispositio 3hown by his daughter at this earl ige, Mr. S., on getting permission froi the Sisters of Charity who accompanie them, bought out the stock of two o three stalls, and sent sixty odd orpha: jirls away very happy. The XortlMYestcrn Storms, As intimated in a St. Paul paper im mediately after the subsidence of th ate terrible storm the record of the dis isters to life and property resultini ;herefrom is thoroughly sickening t< ,'ontemplatc. While every section o ;he State contributes a portion of th larrowing details, the entiie westeri Tontier of Minnesota sends up a returi >f dead, missing, and maimed, whicl seems more like the carnage of battl :han the result of any erratic and won lerful commotion of the elements. Th iccouuts agree in representing th storm as travelling with remarkable vo ocity, and enveloping those caught ii ts?deadly meshes, almost before the; :Ould turn their steps homeward.

Thcr< s little room to doubt that the majoi ortion of the list of casualties an< paths was completed in all its sadden rig chapter?, between four o'clock or hat fatal Tuesday afternoon am Wednesday morning, nnd as but few ould be so foolhardy as to venture or mirneys wliile it was raging, it is reas liable to suppose that the deaths ami offerings are confined to those stir rised by it while at n distance fron ome.

The police have disovered a lirm of human fiends thai ike children of tender age and twist lieir limbs so that they may be bandy>gged or otherwise deformed, accordng to" the wish of the parents. The bject of this is to make the unfortnate infants objects of charity. A egnlar tariff of prices is demanded, r liorough and complete maiming costig four pounds. The members of the oncern and about a dozen employee! aye been imprisoned. The Intermarriage of Women, " Amid the strange marriages, the palm of oddity must certainly be conceded a to those from which man has been ex- tl eluded. One case of this sort came to pi light this year, when the Edinburgh t^ ; police laid their hands upon a young fi , woman who was "wanted," from infor- s< mation supplied by an Irish girl, whom fi l the masquerading female in question p ; had married, while employed in the li [ neighborhood of Kirknewton. The v. ; couple had lived happily together for A , a time : but quarreling over some do- o . mestic matter, the wife resolves to part T 5 company, and informed the police what u [ manner of husband she had married. h A stranger story of this nature is told e . in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1776, b r A discovery of a very extraordinary 1 t kind was made at Poplar, where two ft women had lived together so for thirty- b ? ?

I ing closely pursued, she at length own- n . ed the fact, accommodated all matters I > amicably, put off the male and put on f f the female character, in which she appeared to be a sensible, well-bred wo- p . man, though in male attire she had al- t j ways affected the plain, plodding ale- e house keeper. L ? It is said they had acquired ia busi- c 3 ness three thousand pounds. Both had 3 been crossed in love when young, and g 5 had chosen this method to avoid further p t importunities ; the female widower af- f 9 terward prosecuted a man for extorting q ] money from her before tho disclosure, r ] by threatening to proclaim her real sex; a s and proving her case, had the satisfac- t , tion of hearing the offender sentenced a y to four years' imprisonment, and ex- f j posurc in the pillory. In 1777, a wo- 1 ? man was pilloried in Chcapside, and af- 1 . terward sent to prison for six months, I _ for dressing herself in male attire, and i 1 marrying^ three women, with whose r a clothes and money she had "decamped t 1 at the first opportunity. JLn 1873 an- r s other deceiver gained possession ?f a t p. hundred pounds ; but instead of fingers ing the money, the woman-husband was t introduced to the lord mayor by her .. cheated spouse, and paid the penalty of L detection. ? 7 c a Struck by n Whale. ] i While the schooser Watauga was run- , ' ning up the Gulf stream with a six or seven Knot breeze a sudden and heavy shock and jar was felt, and all supposed J that the vessel had scudded into a sea I with violence. The next moment a * pair of whales were seen close along' side to leeward. Ono of them was frisky enough, and made off rapidly, 1 but 'the other .seemed loggy, moved ' with apparent difficulty, and presently ? ^ disclosed a huge gash in his side, from , P which the blood was issuing and coloring the sea about. The Watauga passed , on, and soon lost sight of the whale, ( j when it was discovered that the false stem was torn off, her main stem split, f l nu4 the wood ends started. The bob- | j stay, had, of course, parted, and the ' bowspirit was udriftr. She was after- f * wards found to be leaking, and was ; j with diflicultv kept free, until she made ( Point Peter, where temporary repairs were made to enable her to reach homo. ( Upon her arrival at Washington she 1 was repaired, and the damago found to 1 r exceed $700. j Her stem bolts, of 1} inch iron, -were L bent down, evidently by the vessel's efe fort to rise clear of the whale. e If that fish survives, he will probably ' avoid further contact with crafts of !" every description, and inwardly chucklo ~ over the last disaster to the Watauga. g. Very Particular. ' The distinctions of caste maintained d among the Hindoos are no more rigid r than some of those observed by Amerid can Indians. In the Indian Territory >. the Chcj-ennes and Arapahoes have been n brought together in one agency; but e no persuasion can induce the Cheyennes d to permit their children to associate d with those of the Arapahoes, who are considered low caste. This feeling has r had an unfavorable effect on the atd tempts made to educate the children of l> the Cheyennes, as the parents, though n willing to have them taught, could not s be prevailed upon to allow them to at? tend school on terms of equality with y the Arapahoe children. Finally a com11 promise was effected by & rearranged ment of the school house. A partition r running through the centre divided the n Cheyenne papooses from the Arapahoes while they were being taught, so that the young Cheyennes were enabled to pursue their studies without suffering contact with their low-caste fellow-sava- j gcs. Notwithstanding all these concesl" sions to prejudice, it was found that it 1 ? 1- : J. 1 1 L I , ~ was oniy wiu puuri-"3i/ mm icuau unoiu- j cratic of the Cheyennes who manifested I j ff any hearty disposition to avail them- j ? selves of the opportunities affored for ^ ' the instruction of their children. ( Chinese Treatment of Animals, f li They never punish; hence a mule that ^ e in the hands of a foreigner, would be j - not only useless but dangerous to every ( c one nbout it, becomes, in the possession ^ c of a Chinaman, as quiet as a lamb and , - as tractable as a dog. We never beheld ^ i a runaway, a jibing or a vicious mule j y or pony in a Chinaman's employment, j a but found the same rattling, cheerful - pace maintained over heavy or light e roads by means of a turr-r or cluck-k, i i the beasttumiug to the right or left, and ^ stopping with but a hint from tho reins. . This treatment is extended to all the 1 - animals they press into their service, f - Often have I admired the tact exhibited t ? in getting a drove of sheep through 1 l narrow, crowded streets and alleys, by | f t merely having a little boy to lead one | i ? of tlie quietest of the flock in front; the I i r others steadily followed, without the t 1_! 1 I 1 I aid eitlio irom a yeiping i-ur or a uruoi a - goad.

'Tartar.'/. 1 i Wanted to Know. t | " I should like to understand our po- * sitiou," said a traveller ton gorgeous 11 hotel clerk who had treated him iudif- ? ' differently. " Are you liere for my J pleasure and satisfaction, or am I here for yours ? If the latter, and such is s the custom of the country, I don't ob- r jeet to it; only in that case it seems but fair that you should pay me instead ; of mv paying you.'' The clerk couldn't n ; see it in that light, but the traveller d was made comparatively comfortable ^ during the rest of his sojourn. Tho last theory is that the earth t] L smashed through a comet last Novem- ^ i ber, and the mixture of its vapor with oui air produced the fearful tempests, i inundations, horse plagues and queer i weather generally by which the autumn n was marked. e ' * Intemperance and its Treatment. ] The Boston Chief of Police has made "V report of unusual interest concerning ing ic affairs of his department during the of ast year. Covering, as that year did, foil ro such events as the Jubilee and the ed re of November 9, the report presents sati ;veral points which are worthy of care- anc ll perusal, inasmuch as, owing to the anc reventivc system adopted by the po- sisl ee, there was no increase of robbery or inb iolence at either of these times, unt mong other subjects treated of, that goc f intemperance obtains prominence, cat he most noticeable statement made hot uder this head is that, in spite of pro- int ibitory legislation, the crime of drunk- coa uness has increased much more rapid- wh r than population. During the year dei 872 there were arrested 11,225 persons pai ir drunkenness and 5,386 for disorder- pei j oonduct, while 1,778 have been help- anc d to their homes. This shows a total mil f 18,389 cases of intoxication which eitl ave been brought to the notice of the olice, or about one to every fourteen * ihabitants, Of course numbers of a 1 ersons have been arrested several cra imes, so that this proportion is not ex- 8PJ ctly fair, but that consideration is of lore than conterbalanced by the fact ore bat an immense number of cases have bo: ever been brought before the police. "i( n fact the report does not speak tvell or Boston temperance. P? "With great good senso, the Chief ne< toints out that while no penalty is visi- the ed upon the maker and but a small tax 8^l xacted , from the seller of intoxicating Pe; iquors, the drinker, who is the victim thi ' * - 11_ tw il an appetite wnicn is generally ?c- ?, :nowledged to be often a disease, is i everely punished. Whether, in the ^ resent condition of society, this manu- ea! acture of liquor can be prevented, is ca] [uestionable. But it is neither wise ^ lor humane to legalize the temptation ,nd then punish him whom tho law has , empted. The problem of intemper- Bid ,nce and its treatment has by no means is ound its solution when the sale of Coi iquoris forbidden. How erratic this de egislation is, may bo judged from the ho act, as given in this report, that if an ntoxicated person lies down on the bu oad side of a fence he may be arrested, de >ut if ho lies on the field side ho can- of lot be interfered with, inasmuch as W hat is considered a private placo. do of Late Fashion botes. Bei ws Blue will be the leading color in. Pr Spring silks. Lophohore, a new shade th: >f greenish blue, is seen among the im- an jortatious for early Spring wear. no Turquoise blue is<also very fashioua- ye fie. an All the indescribable shades, known m< is paradis, lizard and peacock, worn in W he Winter, are to be seen in the Spring co: joeds, but in paler tints, suitable for ag he season. lai Pale gray shades, tinged with green mi ind blue, arc also introduced. eai Norwegian gray is a charming gray its hade, with a blue tint. be Airain, or copper color, is a stylish tin irown. we Verd antique, black bronze, and vari- Vi )us other metallic shades are seen.

The stripes arc either in contrasting we )r harmonizing colors. Polka dots will be revived on all goods iheaper than pure silk fabrics, such is foulards, pongees, grenadines and " prints. tii Foulards bid fair to be very popular; 1 ;hey are brought out in dark, rich 1 ;olors with polka dots, crescents, stars, T]| jr Japanese figures in white sprinkled ; jpon them. * Hi Napoleon blue, a dark, rich shade, is f :he favorite color for these foulards. T,(l Foulard Laiue, or woolen foulard, is Tlj i new fabric, just imported for Spring vear.

Tn Pongees, in unbleached and dust- 1 lolored hues, are seen in large quauti- ] ;ies among the importations. Satin jeans, a lighter quality than formerly worn, is also seen among the lea vash goods in these new colors and polka dots. The new percales have dark grounds, ind some have twilled stripes of dark st| olor on a white ground. The figures >n the dark grounds are tiny dashes, iprigs, and Greek squares of white at we ntervals.

Some sup- sa; >ly the iron works, while others provide ?b lousehold coals uml coals for steam purposes. It is the iron-workers' col- bl',' iers who have struck, and the iron- p0 vorkcrs arc also thrown out. Fully 60,- dy )00 men arc idle. A corresponden! says nc ;hat six months ago the colliers got an idvauce of ten percent, on their wages.
