Economy lii irc Wood.
The rapid disappearance of our
forests has not only given rise to the
question "flow are we to provide
ourselves with fencing material ?"
but to an interrogation of equal im.
portance, "Hlow shall we provide
ourselves with fire wood in the not
distant future ?" That farmers have
been lavish in the past, in the use of
timber, is fully known ; and the only
altornative now is, by econoiny, to
save what remains; and how to do
this, is the subject we propose to talk
about. A good husbandman will
provide a liberal quantity of fuel, and
that which is good ; but at the same
time ihe may, by care, do this without
depreciating the vatio of his forest,
even if ho has but, few acres of wood
land. There ore more o. less trees
djing yeai ly ; but if the young
growth is left undisturbed, the in
cronsc will equal this-inmluding the
growth of all the trees. It is sEarcely
ircessary in ordinary cases, to ever
cut a living tree ; and yet have soind
body wood for family use; and when
it is necessity, there should be a se
lection of such as have fallen into a
decline. A good rule is to select
trees in summer for winter working
.ip. Whon the forest is in leaf, the
dead and dying trees may be readily
detected, and marked, so that in
winter, they may be at onco found.
Some tire of the opiniou that be.
cause souml, hard wood is desirable
for winter fuel, that the same is best
for hot weather ; but, hero lies the
mistake ; light, fluishy fuel is the bet
ter for summer use, exceptick for
certain occasions, whent ia continued
fire is desired ; and enough of the
hard material should be kept for such
times.
Over a great portion of the wood
land, old logs, oak tops, etc., arc ly.
ing, which, to the formers in general,
are considered worthless ; but in t hem
are cords of good sun:mer wood, if
only worked up at the proper time.
The best way to manatige these is to
haul then out of the woods in tlie
winter on to some open field, and lav
thema up from the ground a few
inches, and when they are thoroughly
dry the following Stumner, saw and
split, them up into fire wow! ; and tf
ter being corded in the field a few
weeks, pack in the wood house. Any
one who has not tried this method of
c0ouoomiziig inl tiiber, will be aston
ishodl at wheat an imnenso gliantity
of good fuel may be obtaincd from ma
terial commonly counted as worthless.

We insist upon singing this old
tunle again. It is perfectly dikgust

we like to be a nuisance occasih nally,

We allude to the great necessit'
for broadening the sphaere of femnall
toil, anad enlarging thte area of prodnei

andotthtedhy true that the intore gro
ttfilue ando substantial demonstrationt
of woman's rights, such its rl'
and office holding crusades, have been
attempted to help the really needful
endeavor to increase her avenues to
remunerative subsistence.
To this connection the national eon
sus gives some interesting figures.
We have twelve millions and a half
of day laborers, men and women,
boys and girls. One-half of the en.
tire laboring population are engaged
in agricultural pursuits, and of these,
three hundled and seventy-three
thousand are women, helpu.ates of the
Scandinavian settlers of the North.

A letter fron Mr. Lamar,of8avan.
nah, regarding cotton claims, was or
dered to be printed. Mr. Blair, of
Michigan, reported a bill for the re
lief of Edmund Jessin, latd Collector
of Internal Revenue for the First
Di.triotlof Illinois, which'was passed ;
also, a bill for the'relief of sufferers
by the destruction of certain salt
works in Kentucky, done by order
of Major-General Buel, during the
rebellion. M r. Blair explained the
circumstances of the destruction-it
not having been done in battle,
but as a measure of economy, to save
guarding the works, to prevent their
being of use to the enemy. Mr.
Dawes, of Massachusetts, thought
this subject should be approached
with much caution ; the formula
might he given a bill to pay for all
property destroyed, to prevent its
falling into the hands of the enemy;
he said tihe precedent here scoughit to
be established would be looked up on
with great interest by the Blritish and
other foreign nations, who claimed
for their citizens the sanme rights
which we grant ed in this respect to
our own people. Mr. Smith, of New
York, contended that payment for
property thus destroyed wvas an im
perative duty of the Government, and
cited a numbher of authorities in sup
port of his position. Mr. Adams, of
Kentucky, also advocated the passage
of the bill. The yeas and nays were
ordered on the passage of the bill,
and it was passed-yeas 1 05; nays
43. Mr. Blair also reported a bill
for the relief of the East fennessee
University, which was piassed. Mr.
H elmnan, of Indiana, as a privileged
question, at the expiration of the
morning hour, called the message of
the President, vetoing the bill for the
relief of the estate of Dr. John F.
