He shall determine the number of days lor working at each warning: .Provided, That not more than six days are required in a year. When the Commissioner hav? ing oversight of such sections gives orders to the overseer to work the road, and be neglects to do the same, he shall be (ieemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof in a Trial Jus? tice's Court, shall be fine/1 in a sum not less than five nor more than ten dollars. Sec 4. Any person liable to road duty, who shall have been duly warned two days before the day fixed in I is notice for such working .stating the hour and ? place of working, shall be subject to the direction of the overseer in charge. If any person of the legal age refuse to work upon the highways and roads (hav? ing no justifiable excuse) according to -the direction of the overseer, be shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof in a Trial Jus? tice's Court, shall be fined in a sum not less than five dollars, nor more than ten dollars, or be imprisoned in the County jail for a period of not less than fire nor , more than twenty days. Sec. 5.

Tom Collette is a miner, teamster, coal burner, or anything else tbat is necessary when he finds tbat his pocket is growing ?empty and his larder lean. Tom, with two friends, Joe and Jake, was making a painful journey from Pine Grove, in Em eralda county, to Eastern Nevada. They camped one afternoon by some hot springs near Walker lake, and discovering a hole half full of cold water near one of the hottest springs, turned the hot water, as it flowed out of the spring, into the hole until the hot and cold water blending, made exactly the right temperature for a bath. Then they plunged in and en? joyed the delicious water as only those can who have traveled over dusty alkali roads for several days. When tbey had eaten theirsppperand lighted their pipes, the theme of conversation for a long time, while they smoked, was their bath and the wonderful refreshment it had brought them. They sprer.d their blankets on a grassy spot behind some willows, a few yards" away from the springs, and soon fell asleep. Tom was up with the dawn. The memory of the bath was fresh in his mind, and so he bounded from bis blank? ets, aud, with a skip and a jump, plunged into the clear water and sank to his neck. Then came a howl of anguish, and be sprang upon the bank with all the agili? ty of a wild cat. In the meantime, his fair skin had changed to the color of a pickled lobster. The hot water bad been running all night; and the cold water had been neutralized hours before the dawn, and now the water in the hole was almost of the same temperature as the water in the boiling spring from which it flowed. Tom was in a terrible state: "I thought I was pickled." But he did not hesitate as to the course he should pursue. With infinite care he drew on his pants and boots. Forcing back tears of an? guish, he managed to waik back to the [ camp. Though it wrung his heart, he ! put on his old-time frank smile as he neared the rendezvous, for Jake was just then sitting up in his blankets, gaping and stretching. Seeing Tom approach, Jake asked where he had been. Tom replied that the recollection of the mag? nificent bath of the previous evening was so vivid in his memory tbat he could not think of breaking camp without repeat? ing it, and added: "It's just lovely, Jake." Jake did not want to hear mere, but sprang- from his bed and rushed away toward the spring. As swiftly as Tom could he followed, and from behind ths willows kept covert watch. He saw Jake throw off his clothes, spring into the water, beard a yell of anguish, and then saw him with wonderful haste emerge and spring upon the bank, and vainly try, by swift applications of his hands to different parts of his body, to arrest the intolerable pain, swearing and crying all the while. At last Jake managed to get into his clothes and started For camp: Meeting Tom, he began with fierce invective to upbraid him for his deception. But Tom cut him short in an instant. "Hush up," said he, "would you bawl like a calf and give us both away when I want to cook that other son-of-a-guu up in camp?" Soothed by this, Jake grew quiet, and both leisurely proceeded to camp. By this time Joe had commenced to rouse up, and seeing the othere approach, asked them where tbey had been. Tom an? swered cheerfully, (he was holding hia pantaloons away from his body in the rear at the time,) "Do you think we could break camp without one more magnifi? cent swim ? Not much." At this Joe, getting up, cried: "Not much, you bet!" and dashed away toward the spring. As he uisappeared behind the willows, Tom spruug for his pistol, and said to Jake, "Get your gun quick; it will be mean business when Joe comes back." In a few seconds Joe did come. He was crying and cursing furiously, und never stopped until be caught up his pistol. Drop it," said Tom. "I have a dead bead on you, and so has Jake. Besides, I took all the caps ofT your gun." The difficulty was finally adjusted; but the trio took their breakfast standing tbat morning, and, to spare the mules, they did not ride much during the succeeding three days.? Virginia Enterprise. THE NEW POPE. Loo XIII iu the First Moment?, of Ids Elovution. Of the energy which distinguished Pecci, both as a delegate and a bishop at Spoleto and Perugia, he gave proof, as a Camerlengo, as soon as Pius IX, upon the removal of the cloud under which the Archbishop of Perugia was in An tonelli's lifetime, called him to Rome and invested him with the important office. I have already told you that the determined and, as his colleagues said, "impetuous" manners of the Camerlengo had struck dismay among the Vatican functionaries accustomed to the extreme leniency of the late Pontiff in his de? clining years, and has raised against him an outcry of unpopularity during the va? cancy of the See which very nearly cost him his chance of an election. To several of the well-known courtiers of Pius IX, Pecci very plainly intimated tbat be would not put up with the liber? ties they had been long allowed to take with the supreme authority, and in a signal instance, when the body of the deceased Pontiff was being removed from the death chamber to the Basilica, where it was to lie in state, espying among the few distinguished persons, whom he had allowed to attend the ceremony, one or two ladies to whom he had given no tickets, he summoned the master of the ceremonies, upbraided him in very strong terms for his presumption in departing from his instructions, and before the very body of Pius IX told him emphatically, "I am not Pio Nono." The clerical papers had predicted with great assurance that the new Pope should be Pius X, a hint that the policy of the new Pontificate should be based on that of the one which had just come to an end. Pecci, upon his election, declared that bis name should bo Leo XIII, a clear determination that the new reign should usher in a new era, being thus conveyed in the mere choice of his name. A few hours after bis proclamation, when the Cardinals crowding round him were silently watching his movements, he suddenly rose and, without consulting them, said, "Andiamo alia loggia," and proceeded to the balcony whence, accor? ding to custom, a newly-elected Pontiff is expected to give the benediction to the multitude assembled on the piazza to acclaim bim. There is another balcony looking out upon the church and front? ing main altar. Had he chosen the outer balcony the ice would have been broken, and the accession of the new Pontiff would have been attended by all the cer? emonies which surrounded the Papacy before the fabled captivity which eclipsed its lustre in the latter years of Pius IX. Leo XHI hesitated one moment. Fran chi, who had been by his side throughout the election, and by his self-denial favor? ed Pecci's exaltation, whispered a few words, and the Pope look his stand on the inner balcony. Both the church aud the piazza were already swarming with an immense mul? titude, but, when the Pope's mind was made manifest, there was a great rush through the doors, and a thundering ap Elause rose from that laboring mass, eedless of the sacred locality. Little accustomed to exhibitions of tbat nature, the Pope stretched out both bands to allay the popular storm, and his voice, sonorous ana authoritative as be pro? nounced his benediction was heard dis? tinctly by all the hushed and awed as? semblage.?London Times. Strawberry Culture. A fair crop of strawberries cau be raised on almost any soil not affected by surplus water. A very large crop can be grown only on strong land deeply worked and highly manured. A very "thin soil resting on a coarse sand or gravel sub? soil, whatever may be its composition, will hold neither moisture nor fertility sufficient to perfect a large crop. I think one having land which he can plow two feet deep without penetrating a. stratum sufficiently coarse to produce an audible sound of grit on the plow when passing through it, may conclude that he has land suitable for strawberries, although the degree of strength may be affected by the kind of rock from which it came. The matter of depth is an essential one. I never set a strawberry plantation with? out first plowing as near as possible two feet iu depth. To do this, a sub-soil plow must follow in each surface furrow, not to invert, but to disintegrate and lighten the sub-soil. Sub-soil plowing more than doubles the cost of plowing, but it is an economical expenditure, and, for strawberry culture or any other market gardening, it probably is essential to profit. Perhaps the time has arrived with strawberry growers in many sec? tions, when none but those who adopt scientific and practical methods of culti? vation can find profit in the business. Perhaps no.other crop is more susceptible to drouth, or will so well repay precau? tions against it. Probably 2,0U0 quarts per acre is above the average crop, while it might be made 5,000 quarts or more. I have repeatedly raised 9,000 quarts per acre. Now, as the same number of. plants is required on an acre of poor land as on an acre of rich land, and about the same cumber of boeings, it is evident that the profits are very much in favor of the large crop. Perhaps no question relating to straw? berry culture is more frequently asked than "What kind of manure should be used ?"?a question equally pertinent re? specting any other crop; yet an idea seems to be more or less prevalent that there is a specific manure for this crop. There may be but it is unknown to me. My answer to the question is, "any good manure." Thtfquantity of manure neces? sary to produce a profitable crop may be set at not less than twenty cords of good stabie manure, or, such quantities of other manure as ?hall produce an equal effect. Let one-half of it be plowed in, and one-fourth harrowed iu, and one fourth reserved for top dressing alter the flanta are set, just before Winter set? in. t is especially desirable tbat this Au? tumn top dressing shall consist of Borne fertilizer other than stable manure?of something free from foul seeds. [Bear in mind that this writer speaks from an experience on old, long worn soil.?Ed. Recorder.] It may now be inferred that for a suc? cessful strawherry crop a deep soil thor? oughly enriched is essential. The thor? oughness in working produces such a soil as will allow almost all the water of rains to gently percolate through it in? stead of running flff. This carries ele? ments of fertility from the upper stratum down lar below the effects of the severest drouths, and the roots are sure to go there after them. I will add that it is not pru? dent to set strawberry plants on an in? verted sward lor fear of the ravages of the cui worm. Any one desirous of pro? ducing berries enough for family use, may make use of the above suggestions, substituting the spade for the plow.?

The Confederate Arcliiies. Washington, March 8. The Confederate archives which the Government purchased some years ago, played a conspicuous and important part in the legislation of the House of Rep? resentatives to-day; and as the case stands at present, resulted in the saving of several hundred thousand dollars to the Treasury. The subject under con? sideration was a bill to pay mail contrac? tors for service in the Southern States before the war, and which has been pend? ing since the extra session of Congress. Tae Republicans have resisted the pass? age of the bill, mainly on the ground that it was the entering wedge to open? ing the door for other toouthern claims. In the course of the discussion, from time to time, party feeling has run very high ; und when the bill was last under consideration, two weeks ago, Conger, of Michigan, and Reagan, of Texas, bad quite an animated debate, the former affirming, the latter denying, tbat the Southern Confederacy had taken posses? sion of postal property of the 'United States in the Southern States prior to May 31, 1861, the date up to which the bill proposed that the contractors should be paid. It was also used as an argu mcnuigainBt the bill that no evidence had been produced to prove that these claimants had not been compensated by the Confederate Government for the very service for which they now asked the General Government to compensate them. The idea that there was any force in that argument was indignantly repudiated by Southern men, who said these claim? ants had not been compensated one dol? lar's wcrth by the confederacy. To-day, when the bill came up again, Conger retd from the Confederate archives a 5reclamation issued by Reagan, from lontgoraery, Ala., on May 2Q, 1861, and directing all Postmasters in the South to hod possession of locks, bag6 and other property of the United States for the benefit of the Confederate Government. Money and stamps were not included in the proclamation. Following on the heels of this came Willetts, of Michigan. He, too, had been delving among the Confederate archives, and to some pur? pose, for he made a discovery which ex? ploded with surprising effect among the bouthern members. He read extracts to show that the Confederate Government had not only seized the property of tbe United States, but presented undoubted proof hat the Confederacy bad paid railroads and individuals for the very service wbich it was proposed to pay for under tbe pending bill. Mr. Reagan was tbe first to express surprise. He declared that what had been read has passed entirely from his recollection, if he ever knew it. He would not vote to pay a dollar to any man or corporation that had been paid by the Confederacy for this service. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, declared the revela? tion entirely new to him, and affirmed that he never conceived that the Confed? eracy bad made these payments. In. view of what bad been read be would not vote for the bill unless it was so guarded as to exclude from its provisions any man who had ever received a dollar from the Confederacy for that service. Mr. Randolph Tucker was also surprised. He said that which was read was from tbe Confederate archives, which had lain concealed for thirteen years. Southern men had ;no't bad access to tbem, but he thought he had a key to the whole mat? ter, and wouldhave more to say at some future time. For the present, however, he could not vote for the bill. He wanted it recommitted until further ex? amination could be made, and be bad no doubt tbatrtbe honor of the Confederate Government in the matter, and of those who acted with that Government, would be vindicated. The result of the whole affair was that Southern men abandoned the idea of passing tbe bill at present, and an at? tempt, was made to take it from tbe Committee of tbe Whole, and recom? mit it the Committee on Post Offices. This was, however, resisted by the Re? publican', who seem determined to make as much political capital as possible out of the matter. ? The bill remains in Com? mittee of the Whole, and it cannot be got out of there for two weeks except by unanimous consent, or by suspension of the rules, neither of which is likely tobe obtained. Of course tbe Radical Re? publicans will claim tbat the Southern men knew of these things all the time, and were practicing deception to get the money out of the Treasury; but in spite of their assertions, no honest man will doubt that Reagan, Blount, Tucker and others spoke the exact truth when they said they did not know of the existence of the facts brought out to-day, or that, if they ever did know of them, they had forgotten tbem entirely. Cox, of Ohio, took occasion to say tbat, speaking for himself and for others around him, not? withstanding what had heen read to-day, they could not doubt the candor and good faith of Reagan. Uis conduct in the House bad proven his worth, and justi? fied the esteem in which he was held, and it was not surprising he should have forgotten what was done in hours of ex? citement fifteen or sixteen years ago. A Good Recommendation.?"Sir," said *!i lad coming down to one of the wharves in Boston, and addressing a well known merchant, "Sir. havo you any berth fcr.rne on your ship? I want to earn something." "What can you do?" asked the gentle? man. "I can try my best to do whatever I am put to do," answered the boy. "What have you done?" "I have sawed and split all mother's wood for nigh two years." "What have you not done?" asked the gentleman, who was a queer sort of a questioner. "Well, sir," answered the boy, after a moment's pause, "I have not whispered once in. school for a whole year." "That's enough," said the gentleman ; "you may ship aboard thiB vessel, and I hope to see you master of her, some day. A boy who can master a woodpile, and bridle his tongue, must be made of good stuff." Thr;7.e Things.?Three things to love ?courfgc, gentleness and affection.

The Maine Farmer says: "One of our substantial subscribers, in a recent conversation, gave his experience in treating neat stock affected with the habit of eating wood, chewing bones, etc. His cattle were one spring affected in this way ; they became thin in flesh, refused to eat bay, and presented a sickly ap? pearance." He put about four bushels of leached ashes in bis barnyard, and threw it out to them, about a shovelful each day. They all ate as if with evi? dent relish. After turning them out to pasture he put. one peck of dry ashes per week on the ground in the pasture. They ate it all up and gnawed off the grass where it had been lying. The cat? tle began to improve, gaining flesh and lookiog 'aetter than they had for several years. He now gives one quart of ashes, mixed with the same quantity of salt, to twelve head of cr'.tie, ahout once a week, and finds it to agrt^ with them wonder? fully. w DRTulf si mxpectorani I* the most genial baNaiii ever um-i1 hy suffcrorH from pulmonary dlncaneH.
