Engage Help.?Look about early in the season, and get your pick of hands in the market. Make a written bargain in detail, no matter if von are well acquainted. This will prevent misunderstanding. The man agrees to remain a * certain number of months; to perform certain chores Sunday or holidays; to start about such an hour in the morning, and close at such an hour in the evening. If, in case of an emergency, he works longer, he may have certain privileges to compensate for it In case he quits before his time is out, he only receives a certain stipulated sum. Calves axd Sheep. ^ Lard and kerosene are good to kaep lioe from calves; sulphur mixed with salt is good to drive ticks from sheep. Calves, like all animals, should be kept growing from birth to maturity. Here is one place where the profit comes in. There is always a loss of time and feed, and more, too, by allowing young animals to " stand still for six months or more of the year. Sheep are well clothed, and need shelter from snow and rain, and perhaps from the very strongest winds, but cold agrees with them. Feed them well; give them plenty of water, in small flocks; keep them dry, and they may stay out in the 1 cold and thrive. A close, dark pen is a poor place for sheep.? Rural New Yorker. Wood, Tools, Ice.?Cut a supply ol wood, posts, rails, and logs for lumber, ready to be moved easily on the advent of Bleighing. No thrifty farmer will leave these things to be done in the busier seasons. Get wagons and buggies repaired and painted, as well as tools and implements for summer use. Make stone-boats, out handspikes and stakes, and get ready everything which can be got readv. Snow may be scraped from the ioe to keep it clear and allow it to freeze thick.

Straighten up the books and the little debts, and collect those due from neighbors. Small accounts should not run long. Trust not to memory. Arrango the books for the business of the year. 8tudy over the plans considerably in detail/ and do not wait till the ground is ready to plow before deciding what to do. Look over the past, ana study the good hints and the failures? whether all was done to the best advantage; whether there was too little or too much help. This should lead to better plans for the future. Nothing can bring larger returns for the time than a few weeks spent in accordance with the above suggestions. Oows ?Treat them generously and kindly, but do not keep them fat, unless they are to be turned off for beef. A ooKv is a machine, a laboratory for oon- < vesting raw materials into milk. If little be given, little will be received. All animals should have exorcise, especially those kept for breeding. Some of them are naturally lazy, but they will be the better for stirring about in the open air. It is cruel to keep animals tied up or shut up for days at a time. They need light, too. Direct sunshine exerts a powerful influence for good on animals, as well as on plants. Do not overlook a good supply of pure water two or three times a day, or good ventilation and proper cleaning of stables.

He com menced by giving two quarts at a.feed, < and gradually increased to half a bushel, l The cow began to increase her milk till she nearly or quite doubled in quantity. The milk and cream were tested at every stage, and found to be equally as good as when grass alone constituted the feed. To make assurance doubly Bure, he < stopped feeding the apples, and immedi- ' ateiy the cow fell off in her milk to her < former yield. After a few days he be- < gan feeding again, and the former re \ suits were attained. It must be under- \ stood that the apples were a mixture of i varieties, the majority being sour, and 1 windfalls at that. Being pleased with the result thus far, he began to feed ' them to his other oows, vrith good re- 1 snlts, the gain in milk being about fifty per cent., and the quantity and quality 1 of butter also increasing in somewhat like < ratio. The grazing was rowen.of the 1 meadow." The only secret of success ' was commencing te feed in small quan- i' tity and gradually increasing to the 1 capacity of the cow's appetite.

Seven hundred is a ow estimate, and as the majority were romen and children out for a day's Measuring, the collision is certainly the nost distressing in marine history. The eportof the official inquiry deolared bat the oollision was caused by the bad ind careless steering of the Prinoes3 klioe. On March 25, the Eurydice capsized n a squall off Dannose, isle of Wight, is she was within half an hour of her mchorage, and carried down, in sight >f their homes, 300 lads who were being rained for the British navy. There arere but two survivors; but happily heir testimony established that the disaster was due solely to the danger of the sea. The German navy also suffered a severe loss. On the last day of May, a squadron was engaged in naval maneuvering in the English channel, when the Grosser Kurfnrst struck and sunk the Koenig Wilhelm as they were wearing ship to avoid a merchantman. Two -?-i <?a ??_ i*? ?? hharea &uu limeiy uvcd ncm wot, mjluding thirteen officers. The verdict attributed the collision to a " mistake " jf the Koenig Wilhelm's helmsman. On the night of November 25, the iron bark Moel Eilian ran down and sank the Pommerania, one of the finest steamers of the Hamburg-American line, ibont fifty-five lives were lost by this jollisian. Seventeen lives were lost by the collision on October 31, off Tnscar light, oetween the National line steamship Helvetia and the British cntter Fanny; md about 150 by the Byzantin-Rinalao jollision in the Dardanelles on the night if December 18. An explosion of fire-damp in the Aber:orn oolliery, South Wales, on Septemier 11, caused 251 deaths. On October 11, the audience of the Dolosseum theater, in Liverpool, in heir mad rush for escape from the suilding at a careless or malicious but mtirely groundless alarm of fire, tramjled thirty-seven of their number to leath. In this oountry there were but few narine disasters. On the 31st of Janlary, in the same southeast gale which ;aused the loss of seven lives at Manhattan beach by sweeping several louses into Sheepshead bay, the Metrop>lis, bound to Para, went ashore on larritnck beach, on the North Carolina joast, and abont twenty miles north of he scene of the wreck of the ill-fated Enron. Ninety-one lives were lost. Murder or manslaughter, however, are ;he only words properly descriptive of ihe loss of fifteen lives by the explosion >f tbe Adelphi's boilers on the 28th of September, near Qregory's point, in Lopg Island sound. On the inquest it was shown that the boiler needed patchng within a month after its inspection, ind that it exploded within a month ifter the repairs. The iron of the boiler wab only one-half the reported thickness, md near the rupture it was actually ?nly one-thirty-seeond of an inch thiok. Twenty lives were lost by the oolliiion on December 1, between the Mississippi river steamers Ootton Valley and Charles Morgan, and thirty-six by tbe foundering on Deoember 10, of the Emily B. Souder, on her trip from New i'ork city to Kingston, Jamaica. A shocking disaster, whioh cannot be sailed anaecident, was the collision on October 8, of an excursion train on the Old Colony railroad with a freight train which was being switched. Twenty-two persons were killed and 120 were wounded; The inqnest found conductors of both trains and the engineer of one, gujlty of negligence; and as one conductor testified that he was switching his train because he " supposed " the excursion train had passed, and when he saw it ;npproaohing, sent out no BigDals bejatise he " supposed " tbe engineer had done so, he was held and indicted, bnt 1 ' ? v. _ -w r lias not yet Deen puniBnea ior manslaughter. The accident is estimated bo c >at the railroad oompany $825,000. Another engineer employed by the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Rt. Louis jompany, whose watch was slow, but who "supposed " he had time to go on, billed fifteen persons by dashing his irain into another on August 7. The list of railroad aooidents may be jlosed by the breaking under an exsursion train of the bridge over the Farmington river, on the line of the Donnecticut Western railroad. This ocurred on January 16, and it is not ret certain whether the' bridge broke be;ause it was not originally strong enough >r because it had been suffered to decay, >r whether the accident was not caused iy train-wreckers. Scott's Poetry in Western Prose. The train had withdrawn from the sastle, but Marmion lingered behind to bid adieu to Douglass. "Though something might be explained," he said, " of cold respect to a gentleman sent hither by your king's behest, while in Tantallion's towers I stayed, part me e t i 1 *Zi 1 in irienasmp uuu nouic eau, rectivc my band." But Douglass was out of sorts, and taking another reef in the band of his alster, Baid : "My dear sir, my manors, halls, towers, et cetera and so forth, are open at my sovereign's will to whoever he desires to send hither, no matter how unworthy such a one may be to stand in j the preBenoe of the gentleman who now has the floor," and he looked Marmion straight in the eye. " My castles are my king's alone,' he oontinued, "from cupola to the basement kitchen, but the hand of Douglass is his own and never shall in friendship clasp the hand of such as Marmion carries so jauntily in the breast of his cutaway." So paying he thrust his hands in his pantaloons pockets and turned on his heel. Marmion was the maddest man in town. Hi i swarthy cheek burned until it was red as a lobster and shook his very frame for ire. " And this to me I" he yelled ; " an' 'twere not for thy gray hairs such hand as Marmion had not spared to oleave the Douglass head as if struck by lightning, and I'm not so 3ure but I'll do it anyhow! And T tell thee haughty peer, he who does Eng land's message bring, aitnougn ine i meanest politician in the oonntry, may 1 well, prond Angus, be thy mate! ind furthermore, my gentle gazelle, jven in thy pitch of pride, nere in thy hold, thy vassals and lickspittles near?take your hand ont of pour hip pocket or I'll smash yon?I ;ell thee tnou are detled t And if thou jaidst I am not peer to any lord in Sootand, Lowland or Highland, rich or x>or, Lord Angus, you're a liar!" and he shook his fist under the Douglass ose. It was now Douglass' tu rn to get mad, 8 and he improved the excellent opportunity olfeied. At first he turned white and purple about the gilfc, and his ears wagged in awful silence. Then he broke ft ? C ' Dareet tbou to beard a family of v royal Bengal tigers in their den, the D Douglass in his hall ? And hopest thou n thence unscathed to go ?

Dun & Co., we learn that the total number of failures r in the United States for 1878 were 10,478, with liabilities amounting to $284,000,000. This shows an increase over 1877 of 1,606 in number, and $40,000,000 in amount. The gradual growth of these casualties is shown in the following statement for the seven years since 1872, with the average liabilities for eaoh year: Total Average Tear. Number. Liabilities.

These circumstances are stated at five in nnmber, as follows: 1878 is the fifth year of a depression unparalleled in extent, character and duration; the weather for the first quarter of the year was unseasonable, and thus moat unfavorable for sales and oollections; the discussions in and o?t of Congress as to financial matters and the tariff, impaired confidence for the time being; the notable decline in the value of staples the world over; the existence of the epidemic in the South; and, finally, more influential than all others, was the abolishing of the bankrupt law and the loqg delay permitted to elapse before its repeal." The circular then prooeeds: "In view, therefore, of the peculiarities of the year under review, it is submitted that an increase of failures to the extent of only 1,606 in nnmber, and forty millions in liabilities, is even^much less ! than might have been anticipated. It is ] significant that out of the six leading t circumstances above enumerated as con- 1 tribnting to failures daring the year, < five no longer exist. In the* room of these disturbing elements other favorable conditions are present, which ought, in the immediate fntnre, to so mnch improve business as to make the decrease J ef failures in 1879 much more marked than the inorease in 1878." * ^ i Bishop Simpson on Stimulants. In his third Yale lecture Bishop J S>mpson advises the young men who are entering the ministry to avoid all stimulants, and in connection with this | advice gives a bit of information which , is not generally known: "I would scarcely suppose that aDy one who feels himself called to the ministry will countenance their use; yet kind friends will sometimes suggest that you are weak, your nerves are tremulous, you have ( been out in the cold, you need a stimn- lant, and they will nrge the talcing of a , little wine or brandy before preaohing. TUooo l.ionilo will foil vnn flint t.llA mnfit , J | distinguished ministers are in the habit of using them; and I regret to say that in many churches both wine and brandy j are thero kept in the vestry for the use of the minister, both before and after J i preaching." He further says: "I have . kuown some young ministers who have ; used a few drops of paregoric or opium , to give them strength for the pulpit. I ( am glad to say that I have known but , few such cases; but I must add that , these were led in the end to either pbjs- , ioal or moral ruin." And in passing. , he fires a 6hct at the clerical cigar: "I suppose there is a sort of enjoyment connected with it, for I have seen men sit for an hour smoking, with their feet upon a table, professing to be studying. I have no doubt they had visions of greatness and glory; but prolonged observation shows that their lives usually ended, with their cigar, in smoke." A Locomotive iu a Quicksand. Tbe Lieavenwortn (JSiui.) uimea says: Mention ?u made in the Times during the summer of a singular accident which occurred on the Kansas Pacific road at the bridge crossing Kiowa creek, fortytwo miles east of Denver, in which an engine attached to a freight train went through the bridge into the bed of the creek, instantly disappearing in the quicksand and baffling all attempts to reoover it For the past six months the search for the missing locomotive has been kept np, resulting in suooess two or three dayB ago, when it was found buried forty feet deep in the quicksand. The sand had been removed for a great number of yards around the scene of the disappearance of the engine, a hydraulic ram being used, tbe looomdtive being fonnd at last after a search of six months.

At the time ol bis death Talis was the largest fruit grower on 1;he licramento river, having one large rchard and iarge interests in two 'there. His fains in the trait season 7ere at the ri I e of a thousand dollars a ay, and he hud accumulated from $80,00 to $100,COO before his body was ound cold and stiff in his orchard on he morning of August 2d. When Dye, .8 public administrator, applied for let ers of administration, he rated the state at $50,0')0, his object being to se:nre all over that amount. The killing >f Tullis on acy other ground being obectless, the lueory was formed, soon iter the murder, that either bis relaives had committed the crime to secure he estate as h: s heirs, or that Dye had lone the deed to take possession as mblic administrator. As Tullis' relaives?a brother and a nephew?were rom 800 to 8,000 miles from the scene, uspicion fastened upon Dye, who was liscovered to he in the neighborhood of fall s' ranch the night o& the murder. le was arrest! on August 12th. As ne lad up to that time borne an irreproachable reputation his arrest was a shock to he oomaranitj. Two days later he made i confession of the orime in the presence if the district attorney and others. The nurder was not committed by him, but >y Clark, his partner in a saloon Tenure, and by Anderson, a former em>loyee in Dye's butcher shop, Dye Laving other occupations besides th at of mblio administrator. Anderson, being rrested, also made a confession. Dye aid that he first thought of killing Talis in the spring, having heard of the wealth the fruit grower was acquir g. At that time Anderson offerid to kill any one Dye would tame for $1<)0, * and he oonfessed o the oommittul of two murders already. After Dye made up his mind to murler Tullis, he enlisted Clark as well as Inderson, and the first endeavor was to )oison Tullis. Clark visited the fruit grower on pretense of business, and left >ehind as a parting present a bottle, istensibly containing a choice cordial, >ut which really contained poison. For ome reason this scheme miscarried, and hen it was determined to waylay Tullis tnd shoot him. A boat was built at Dye's house in Sacramento, iu which Anderson and Clark rowed to Tullis' rait ranch, which was on an island, T\ t Ut. majn viino JL/jre wtuitai iui tuow uu wv >ank.
