The old doctor was a small man, and lean, hat hard and angular as the most irregular of pine knots. He looked as if be might be toagh, bat he did not seem strong. Nevertheless, be was among the knowing ones, reputed to be as agile as a catj and -in addition, was by no means de?oient in knowledge of the <noble science of self-defence.' Besides, be was as oool as a oucumber. Well, in the freshman class, of a certain year, was a burly beef mountaineer of 18 or 19. This genius con- j ceived a great contempt for old Bolus' phy-' sical dimensions; and his soal was horrified -? i ? * _i ,j i i mat one so deficient in muscie huouiu ue ou potential in bis rale.

Heat length determined to give the gentleman a genteel private thrashing, some night iu the College Cauipas, pretending to mistake him for some fellow student Shortly after, on a dark and rainy night, Jones met the doctor crossing the Campos. Walking up to him abrabtly, he said: 'Hello, Smith ! you rascal?is that you ?" And with that he struck the old gentleman a blow on the side of the face that had nearly felled him. Old Bolus said nothing, bat squared himself, and at it tbey went. Jones' youtb, weight and muscle, made him au 'ugly customer';' but after a round or two, the doctor's science began to tell, and in a short time be bad knocked bis beefy antagonist down, aDd was astraddle on his chest, with one hand 00 his throat, and the other dealing vigor. ou8 caffs on the side of his head. 'AhI stop! * Ah ! stop! I beg pardon, doctor! Doctor Caldwell?a mistake?for heaven's sake, doctor!' groaned Jones, who thought he was about to be eaten up. <1 really thought it was Smith!' The doctor replied with a word and a blow alternately: 'It makes no difference, for all present purposes : consider me Smith !' And it i9 said, old Bolus give Jones such a pDundiog, then and there, as probably prevented his ever making another mistake as to personal identity?at least on the College Campos. The Little Girl who had Survi y$d the Ship Fever ??A few days since one of (he Metropolitan oars was stopped for the purpose of taking up an elderly lady and a sickly looking little girl. k In the car were * ten females, five on a seat, and they will carry nine. Every inch of room seemed occupied, for the occupants of the car were fashionably dressed, and their skirts expanded like peacocks' tails. No one offered the old lady a seat, or made room for her, or seemed to care whether she was tired or rested. For a moment the old lady scanned the faces of those before her, and then she smiled at the want of courtesy whioh characterizes females I of the preseot age. 'I say, you/^the old lady exclaimed, nudg-1 ing the knee of the nearest female, and pointing to the little girl.' J 'Did you speak to me ?' demanded the astonished female, on her dignity immediately. 1 'Why, jes I [ want to know if you would believe th]s little girl just oorne out of the Bbip fever hospital at Deer Island V 'Ten bands delicately gloved were raised toward the bell strap, and ten voices were shrilly raised for the cars to stop, and in less than one minute the old lady and the girl had the vehicle to themselves.

'Your hone?' ejaculated John, still more surprised. y 'Yes, you fool, my horseand the stranger looked savagely at him, and commenced drawiog the lash of his whip through his hand.

Oh, yes !' said Henry. Railroads never swindle. Their officers never steal anything that's out of their reach,' and with a few side remarks the subject was dropped, until another well known railroad man stepped into the saloon. 'K.' said Charlie, 'Hemy says that railroad men never steal anything that's ont of their reach.' 'Well!' replied K., 'River men have an advantage in that line, by using a long pike pole with a hook on it.

Returning from an invigorating bath at the North Euston Hotel, Fleetwood, a person entered into friendly chat with a na tive of the 'Land of Cakes," who along with his wife, was inhaling the pure breeze upon the peir. The subject turned upon the baths, which the Englishman much extolled, and in his exhuberance, observed that it was worth any one's while to give a shilling to see them, they weroso beautifully fitted up. With that charateristic keenness for saving, which so much distinguishes his countrymen, the Scotchman asked: 'How Mucle do ye pay for a bath ?" Sixpence," was the reply. Man," said he, ?ye wad save a sixpence by bathing." An exchange boasts of a correspondent down in the Wyoming region, who gives evidence of a decidedly contemplative turn of mind.

There was a fuss in the family. Blind Minister ?It is well knowuthat the Sootch have a great antipathy to written sermons. It is related that a Scotch woman who was attending church to hear a minister, and who sat so that she could not see him ; asked a neighbor if he preached from notes. She was informed he was blind, and of course could not. <An' I wish they were a' blin,' was the old lady's charitable reply. 8ST* Avoid quotations, unless you are well studied in their import and feel their pertinence.

'Strawu^H|^^H^ the Managing Windows for Air.?There is always a draught through koy-holes and window crevices, because as the external air is colder than the air iu the room wo occupy, it rushes through the window crevices to supply the deficiency caused by the escape of warm air up the chimney. # If you open the lower sash of a window, there is more draft than if yon open the upper sash. The reason of this is, because if the lower sash be t>pen, cold air will rush into the room and cause a great draft inward ; but if the upper sash be opened the heated air of the room will rush out, and of course 1 there will be less draft inward. A room is best ventilated by opening the upper sash, j because the hot ventilated air, which always ascends towards the ceiling, can escape more easily. The wind dries damp linen, because dry wind, like a sponge, imbibes the parti* cles of vapor, from the surface of the linen as fast as they are formed. The hottest place in a church or chapel is the gallery, became the heated air of the building ascends, and all the cold air, which can eater through the doors and windows, keeps to the floor till it has beoome heated. 3pecial attention should be given to the ventilation of sleeping rooms; for pure air, and an abundance of it are, if possible, more necessary when we are asleep than when we are awake. Sleeping rooms should be large, high, and airy, more especially in warm latitudes, and in situations where the windows have to be kept closed at night on account of malaria.?JScientific American. The Russian Soldiers' Obedience to Orders.?The uniformity existing among the Russian troops is something quite astonishing. This uniformity is something carried to an absurd extent, for their dress, way of marching, manners, even faces, are precisely alike. In the Guard, men with light hair and blue eyes are put together in one company, the dark-haired men in another. The excessive discipline leads at times to the spirit of an order being confounded with the letter. One day a ship with many officers and mgp on board went down in the Neva. The order was passed to the soldiers to save in the first place the ofiioers of the Guard. They therefore anxiously inquired of each officer they got hold of if he belonged to the Guard ? The poor fellow could not answer, as their mouths were filled with water; so they were allowed to drown. On another occasion, as it was very dusty, the soldiers were ordered to water the field for exercise. While employed in this duty it Anmoa nn n min hfnvilv *hnt f.hpv continued ^VM,VW ?' "J J -J their task with the utmost gravity. They had been ordered' to do it, and that was enough. At the time when the Winter Palace was destroyed by fire, a clergyman succeeded, with great difficulty, in saving the sacramental plate. On returning he saw a soldier in the corridor, enveloped in smoke. ,He bade him follow him, else he would per ish in the fiames; but the other calmly asked for hiB blessing, and died at his post. West Point.?The arduous duties of a West Point Cadet are not more than half realized by the hundreds of young gentlemen seeking appointment there. Rise at five in summer and six in winter, bed-clothes put away, and room arranged for inspection in half an hour. Study until seven Class parade at eight. Reoitations and study until one. Dinner and recreation until two. Another class parade. Study until four. Sunset, general parade, supper, and in thirty minutes the call to quarters. Until 9$ study,' and at 10 every light extinguished. Of course, these duties are sometimes evaded. But it is dangerous busi ness. Such is but an outline of the day's work, repeated from day to day for five years, with no interruption but Sunday. At the end of the first two years there is a furlough of several weeks; thig being the only time during the course in which the Cadet is allowed to leave the Academy. There are endless opportunities during the military exercises for inourring demerit, and if any Cadet incurs one hundred in six months, he is declared deficient in conduct. For all this drilling, the Cadets receive $30 per month, and are required to pay for board $9 to $10 per month, and $2 for washing. Othsr ex penses, as clothing, etc., consume the whole. Their fare is of the plainest kind. ? ? ? Peculiar Mode op Making Razors. ?The London Artisan decribes the mode adopted by M. Picanlt, in manufacturing the celebrated razors which bear his name. He first prepares plates of cast steel, laminated to the thickness which the blades are to have, and having two opposite sides forged to a coarse edge. These plates are placed under a shears, which atone cut prod aces a blade. Upon these blades M. Picault stamps his mark, and by the aid of a cutting hammer, he impresses a number of straited or grooved lines upon the two surfaces of the blade where it is to fitted into the btck. The back itsclfis formed of soft cast iron, planed and polished, so as to retain none of the roughness of the casting. A groove is formed by a simple mechanical process in one of the edges, and into this is fitted the blade previously prepared. The blade and back thus joined, are placed in a swage or stamp, | having the form of the back, and subjected I to a considerable pressure by means of a lev! er, the effect of which is to fix the blade in j the groove, where it is held tightly, by means I of the grooves cut in the blade, and into I which the soft iron is, as it were, squeezed. The razor is then completed by the usual ; operation of grinding. An Honest Public Officer.?Maj. Benjamin McCullough, late Uuited States Marshal of Texas, says the Baltimore licpublicav, has just created a sensation in government circles. He not only resigned his of! fice, but upon settling his accounts, the gov11 ernment found due him 818.06 more than i lie claimed. During the seven years he was j in office, he disbursed 8160,000 for the Govj ernment, and collected, under executions j and judgments, about half a million more. I There is some talk of getting up a service of i plate for him. Death to the seducer, is and should ! be the unwritten law, higher and more certain of execution than written codes. The ! poisonous reptile, the rabid dog, the stealthy assassin, do no more merit swift destrucj tion, than the villian who corrupts and dei files the purity of woman, and blasts the j hopes and happiness of the domestic circle. aSSf If the counsel be good, no matter MHHHHHIE1!! farmer's jftprtamtt From the Country Gentleman. QUANTITY AND- VALUE OF THE 1 MANURE OF CATTLE. We have found the'following remarks in j the report of a recent discussion at the meet, ing of the London Farmers' Olub, EngI land:" [ The gentleman who opened the discussion, Mr. Baker, is reported to have said that he had found, on investigation, that a cow feeding on 100 lbs. of grass, gave 71 lbs. of solid and liquid deposit. An ox would produce 11 cwt. while feeding on turnip or mangel-wurtzel, with 24 to 28 lbs. of solid straw daily; or, in all, about 150 lbs. of solid and liquid manure would be produced by I? j.;i? /"Tw:- ?o npoonmn in true nnlv tuu Ui uanjr. ^xuib, wo ; J of an ox of very large size, and weighing about 2000 lbs.) An ox, if kept feeding continually on turnips, grain, and hay in the ordinary mode, would produce in the seven months of Winter about twelve tons of manure; and, if foddered in summer, about seven tons more. Thus a largo ox would produce, altogether, about nineteen tons in the yard. In feeding in boxes, an ox of average weight, it was said, would produce about eleven cubic yards of manure in four months, or thirty-three cubicyards if kept constantly in a box for the whole year, In reference to the value of manures from farm stock, it was remarked that horse's was much superior to that from oxen, and that from oxen superior to that from cows, and that from old or full-grown animals far superior to that from young animals. A cow, in feeding, extracts a larger quantity of the nurtritive qualities of food than an ox, be cause food passes more rapidly into the form of milk than of muscle*, or flesh and fat. Again, nearly all the food consumed by fullgrown animals goes to supply the natural waste of the system ; whereas much of that consumed by younger ones is absorbed in the formation of additions to the bones,' flesh and fat, and this is the Teason why the richest manure in produced by animals already fat and full-erown. In the feeding of horses it has been found, said Mr. Baker, that this animal produced, in solid and liquid deposit, taken together, three fourths in* weight of what it ate and drank. A well-fed horse would give 9* tons of solid and liquid manure per annum; and if to this were added about 2 J tons of straw, or other litter, the whole amount made by a horse, in a. stable, in the course of a year might be estimated at twelve tons. In our former paper the two following results were obtained from collating a variety of observations made by different individuals : 1. That an average sized cow, or one fed chiefly on hay, and allowed water freely, will make about two and a half pounds of solid manure for each pound of hay, or its equivalent, consumed; or, allowing one-fifth Tor difference between it and in the usual state of dryness, aboot two pounds for each pound of hay consumed. 2. That the value of the manure made by a medium siza cow, in the course of a year, would be, according to the usual modes of estimating ammonia, potash, and phosphoric acid, equal to between ?20 and ?23, or a little over ?10 in the course of the six months of Winter. A comparison of the somewhat loose estimates which we have quoted, with the results which wejhavc obtained as to quantify, from collating several observations of the highest degree of accuracy and reliability, will furnish additional grounds of confidence in the conclusions at which wo arrived. In making any estimates based on these conclusions, as to the quantity of manure made by animals fed in stables, or distilleries, during the Winter, it should be recollected that ?"? rtAiinliiQirtno refer tr> medium sized ?ni UUl UUUVlUQlVUtf ivtva vv w ?_ ma!s?cows or cattle rather under than over the weight of 1,000 lbs. If the application is to be made to the case of large oxen, from 1,400 to 2,000 lbs., a corresponding allowance must be made, according to the gross weight and the greater quantity of food consumed. As it may seem to many that the estimate given in our former article, as to the value of the total deposits, solid and liquid, of a medium sized cow or ox, during the course of a year, must be too high, we wish to remind such of the fact that, according to the usual modes of managing manures, far more than half its value is dissipated by exposure to rain, sun and wind, while the liquid portion is seldom saved at all. As manures are usually managed, there is little wonder that some should think them hardly worth hauling and spreading. The virtue has gone out of them. Then, again, it should be remembered, in estimating the value of manures, that much, very much, depends on the nature of the food consumed. The more nitrogen there is in the food, the more ammonia will there be in the manure. A cow or ox fed on straw, poor hay, and no grain, will yield manure of much less value than the one fed on richer food, with oil-cake, &c. FEEDING OFF PASTURE LAND. 'It is certainly advantageous to pastures,' ! says Thuer, 'to remove the cattle from them now and then, in order that the grass may have time to recover itself. For this reason, on the best conducted farms, the pasture" land is divided into separate parts. The | animals which require the most succulent! j and nourishing food are first turned to each I separate division, and after they are removed, I the other kinds, which need a smaller quon| tity cf nutriment, are fed there. By this i means the whole of the grass is eaten, those kinds to which cattle are least partial with the rest. The herbage is then left to recover itself for a sufficient time and afterwards the first herd is again allowed to feed upon : it.' The system posesses decided advantages over the practice of suffering the cattle to wander over the whole extent of the pasture ground. If the space is large, a great deal of herbage is spoiled or destroyed by the trampling of cattle; the pasture is never uniformly eaten off, but some portions are i left to grow until it becomes dry and hard j The luxuriant but distateful herbage is con! stamly increasing, and in time crowds-ont I the finer kinds, already lessened by beiog cropped so closely and continually. Another advantage is, that stock are more quiet, and j consequently feed better and keep in better I health. The succession of the various kinds of ; stock muse be regulated by the circumstances I of the owner. Thaersays, that in spring the best pasturage is often given to ewes, because it is needed to increase their supply of milk, ot allowed too long, has a tendency to thicken the growth of grass. Bat they oannot bo followed by eattle immediately, with advantagej at least three weeks shonld intervene, to allow the smell of their dang to dissipate, and the grass to get a fresh start. .
