Law for the People A parole gift of personal property must be accompanied by possessioin. The atempt to commit a felony or nisdemeanor, is an indlotable offense. It Is larceny to appropriate goods mislaid, or left by mistAKe. A verbal release of a debt, not foun ded on a valuable consideration, will not bar an action. Guardians, if practicable, must lend out the money of their wards, on good security, and must collec tile interest annually. Any one who takes possession of a minor's estate without authority of inw, may be held liable as a guardian. Tihe voluntary concurrence of com petens minds Is required to make a val Id contract. If deception be practiced, by either of the parties, In aematerial matter, or either be so intoxicated as to be unabl to comprehend the .nature and effect 6f the transaction, tills invalidates the contract. The father i8 the natural guardian and custodian of his children ; but, inl case of separation, their custody may be given to the mother, If the father Is, from any cause, unfit for their control, or unable to support them.. An action for the recovery of specillic property may be brought without giv Ilg the bond speciled in the Code, when the simple question of title is tried, and the possession of the proper ty left undisturbed. Ignorance of the law Is no excuse for the commission of crime, but ignorance of facts may render a civil contract voidable. There Is no wariauty of title at all administrator's sale, but a personal representative Is bound to make to the purchaser ait valid conveyance of suich title as his decedent had. lie is liable, personally, for all damages, arising from his fallure to follow Lhe Ilw. It is a violation of tile law for the occupyers of land, under ia common fence, to turn their stock within the general enclosure, during tile cropping senson. The party so olle'nding coi mits an Indictable offense, and Is civilly liable fo.- all Idanages that ensue. If an administrator o executor give a note, or maice iy Other CConltract In his representative capacliy, which the law does not authorize, lie fails to bind the estate, but i individlually liable upon tile stme. The law presuimies that every person Intends to do that whivh lie does. Drunkenness is no excutse for crime. A person may have his domiuil In one County or State, and his citizen1ship iII another.

SCIENCEs. Tho Shells of Pompeit.-Dr. Nicola Tlberl an excellent naturalist living at Rosina. close to the alto of .1Impell, has receitly published a remarkable and well written memoir onl the shells found in the ruined city. The point of view to which he directs attention is very diflerent, from that taken by the geologist, antiquary, artist, or archi teet. lie treats of the shells found in ruins, and which had served for food, or had been used by the Pompolans for ornament and other purposes. We know from Athenmus and other anclent authors the mollusca were thon relished quite as much as they are at the present day by the inhabitants of Italy. Dr. Ti1>eri gives a list of all the shells which he noticed .us Pompeian, belong lug to no less than 44 species, with par ltiulars of their relative abundance at 'omupell, as well as of their distribution and economy. Some were of edible kilnds, as the common oyster and mussel. Others served to adorn fountains. Tie Oriental pearl shell was represented by a single valve only. But the ladies of Pompepll seemed to have attached coin siderable value to the cowry, as amulets or charms to prevent sterility; and among these shells were some of the species from the Red bea and the Per sian Gulf. A single speolmen of another exotie shell must have been kept for Its great beauty as an object of curiosity. All tle shells used in the ornamentation of fountains, live inI the city and one in the suburbs, are of species which tire still common in the Gulf of Naples; and these shells are separately distinguished and named. .Ieiyht of Sorms.--Pro fessor Loomis, in his investigations of tite )Iietno mona of storms, has ascertalned that atiospheroi disturbances during storms do not generally extend more than about a mile above the sea-1%;vol as they pass over New England. Front observations maude at the sea-level, as at Portland, simlitaneously with obser vat,ions at the k umintit of Mount Wash In,oni, It Is found that during the pat saige of storms the usual system of ciI ciulatinig Wih'1d. does not in tihe majority of iistanlces extend to a height. of six thousand feet.

This is a difilcult probleir to solve, If farmert would only prevent their land from being wornout, by using the sin ple preservative imethods of growing clover, using plaster and lime and plow ing under clover-sod at least once iII four or flive years, such requests as Lis would never need to be imade. 'When land is wormout nothing can restore it but m'mnure and costly ltbor and time. It Is the fablo of the killing of the goose to get the golden eggs repeated. In this case it might be well to plow the ground and sow a bushel and a half of buckwheat p)r nere. Ifany wood ashes can be procured, or a bushel of' plaster per acre, we would sow it on tire seed ed ground. In September the buck wheat will be fir blossom. Then we would hitch a chain to the double tree and tihe plow-beau, and with the loop dragging In tile furrow, plow and turn under the buckwheat and leave the ground until the spring; then cross plow and sow half a bushel of buck. wheat per acre in May, and with one peck of cloverseed per acre. Tire clover will probable 'take,' and as soon as the buckwheat Is ripe it should be cut, leaving a high stubble, which will still protect the clover. The clover should be permitted to fa.ll on the ground, and the next year should be plowed under, and tile whole process repeated; iarvesting tire buckwheat, however. Tie next crop of clover mar,.y be out for hay or pistirred. After that orcllard grass seed may be sown. FAnIMMls' 110MES.-It is worthy of much thought and attention on the part of the farmers to throw such influence around their children as will attract then to country life. This ain should he well studied in winter, but should not be forgotton at other times. It iOes not require a heavy expenditure of money. Intelligence with economy Is better than Ignorance with waste. First, the farmer's home and its 8tir roundings should be made com)lete. A n ornamental garden and neatly plant ed dooryard should hold a promiient place In making these prdvisions. Vorkingmen's cottages should be eco nomleal in tie long run, by allowing hired men with families to board tient selves, and prevent confusion iII hourles, and avoid hard work by the women. Foster in young people every rural study. Hell) and encourage those who like tire culture of flowers. Facilitate experiments on the farm and in the garden. Provide every aseistance to those who inve a taste for naturtil sc ence. A room should be secured as a museum, whore insects, dried plarts, minerals, fossils aid st, uffud birds may be kept, and insect trailtoruationi wit nessed arid where cieap philosophleal and chemical apparatus mrIay be used. Procure books to assist in all studies connected with these objects. This is tie wiay to make intelligent and useful farmers, instead of Idlers, spendthrifts and horse Jockeys.

'Tlie gas is so rich that it btirner consumes, as the reports rep resent, less than three-11(ths of a cubic foot per hour, and gives a light eqtial to that of a four-foot burner tiIng or linary coal gas.
