Wild Birds in New York Oiyt. Quite a large numoer of winter birds have been found living in New York city, some in the public squares,others in the streets, cemeteries, and back ydrds. Othet's areouly seen occasion. ally flying overhead. Again, there are the sea-fowl, only found upon the waters surrounding the island. In sumner,, the, nighthawk, se long of wing. aiM wide of -mouth, may'be seen skimming in the evening twilight over the house-tops. Sometiu's it.even ventures out at midday, especially in cloudy weather. It lays Its two' eggs on flat roots in New York city, as well as in Boston. Owls of several speqles visit us. One winter was famous for its screech owls, which infested Wash ington square, and waged war upon the European sparrows. One' foggy night, a flock of migrating, long-eared owls, perhaps confused or storm hind ered, settled down at the Battery, where daylight discovered them,-a motley assemblage of blinking,absurd looking creatures. 'Among. our rarer city birds Is the barn owl which was seen one afternoon in April, 1878, by H, B, Bailey. When passing up Ful ton'stree.t, his attention was directed by a crowd of gaping.citizens to one of these birds perched upon a housetop over the street. The bird did not offer to fly, and was left where It had been found. There are several sparrows which visit city yards In winter, besides the ubiquitous English sparrow, The largest, and perhaps the handsomest of all our eastern sparrows, Is the fox sparrow. It only appears among the housas during its spring an(i fall ml grations; but I found it on Broadway, in Old Trinty churoh-yard, during the early part of last December, and it rc mained in Central Park in considerk ble numbers until the middle of that month. Its usual autumn note is a low tweet, resembling the cedar bird's; and its flight Is strong and whirring. The hermit thrush whose very name implies that It isa shy, retiring species, apt to select for its abode the fastnesses of some lonely forest, sometimea visits city yards during migartions. It is occasionally seen down-town, in Trini ty church-yard. fi sometimes see the black-capped chickadee in New York. I recollect one morning, walking up Broidway, I heard the characteristic tshe-Je-jay, tshe-de-jay, close at hand. ( looked about me, but could see nothing of the bird, and began to wonder whether my own thoughts had not translated me from the bustling street into the cour. try woods; but, as I paused, I heard It again, this time iti unmistakable 'tshe, dalgh daigh dalgh; looking overhead. I saw my friend, parua, perched upon a telegraph wire critically examining the numerous strands that formed a network over the street. Occasionally desisling from this important employ ment, he would-take a cool survey of the scene below. The prospect in the street evidently pleased him, and the color and bustle had an exhilarating effect on his spirits, so that he would burst forth Intd a voluble expression of his approval of the goings-on In the great thoroughfare, and it was this that .at first attracted my attention. H~awk s and sea-gulls are occasionally seen flying over the lower part of the city, and early in March an oeoasional bluebird may be heard warblig its sweet notes of gladness, as it wings its way to the home it loves best on earth, In some old orchard farther north. 'These are all of the dowvn-town birds I have seen; but, during migrations, many other species tarry a moment on their way. Five wild Canada geese once alighted In Broadway, dazed ini consequence of a thick fog, and, still more curious, a wood-cock is said to h ave flown into a room in the upper atory of the Tribune building. A Tutrtle ntace. One of Mak Tw'ialn's .funniest sketches is "The Jumping Frog."' it appeara from the following thsat there is a good deal of sport In turtles if any body would take the pains to get, it out. An Jndian near Buflalo is the c wnier of[a snapping turtle nearly foi r Beet in length with a bill that v ould twist an iron bar, Hie kept it as a pe-, One day at the invern, the conversa tion turned on turtles, and a young farmer in the party began to boast of a turtle that he had, and wvhlch he was willing to wagor would travel taster than any turtle in the State. The in (din, after a long l'arangue, accepted the challenge, and It was deeided that the two cuirtles should be maschedl in a hundred and fifty yard race, stakes to be a gallion of apple Jack and the tur tles. The next day a crowdi gathered near the river to see tihe race, and the contlesinants soon appearedl, the indiani wheeling his favorite in a whieelbar row. A cord was run along the edge of thme stream, and the tur tie whose head first p~a-sed it was to be the win rLer. The turtles were placed side by side 150 feet fi cm thme n i. r, At the word they started encouraged or frightened by the yells of their ownerq.

A few seconds more and it, was within two feet Li tihe line, the (xuiltant owner cheering and the crowd -yelling, while the large snapper was nearly three feet behind, TIhe mud turtle was clearly the victor, when the Indian, thoroughly disgust ed, tizeit a burning knot from a pile of brush andl hurled it at the snapper, striking it fairly on the tal, $tarting ahead ini terror it thrust out Its long, snake-like neek just over the line three S inches ahead of the little (ole winr.ing the race andl completely tu'f~ g the t ables aitd the direction of the ~low of apple jack.I AGRICULTURB. FALL Culmse.-The quantity of fine fall made cheese in this country is not large. If America is to keep up and increase the quantity of obeese expor- J ted to Europe. the quality must he good. "Skims" will not fill the bill. If any -temporary pecuniary advantage is gained by making skim-cheeqe it is more balanced in the long run by sub sequent losses. The explanation for the inferior quality of so large a per centage of the fall make of cheeie is easy. Cupidity is at the bottom of It. As soon as the hot weather is over, many factorled regort to skirAming. A factory which has made a 'feputation for producing ohoose of fine quality, spoils its reputation and ruins its pro spects by skimming, and at the very time, too, when -the, best-opportunity is presented to maintain and enhance it. It is well to remember that the Sep tember and October cheeses are those that are required to carry over for spring use. If these goo.s are "full cream' they are rich, solid and desir able. The factory producing them is more than likely to - get fn order for goods xrom abroad the following sea ton. but suckl will hardly be the case if skimming.is resorted to. LicE ON STOCK.-A numbers of let. ters ask for remedies for lousy stock, Vermin of some kind very frequently infest domestic animals; they are most ly of the louse type; some parasitic ani mals that musti be removed by the ap plication ot some insectioide. A num ber of W~ni stances have been used to a greater or less extent, of which a few are mentioned below: One pound of tobacco and six ounces of borax boiled in two quarts of water, to which soft .soap enough is added to make a thick paste, has proved a good vermin salve. A mixture of carbolle acid and - soft soap in the propor'Ion of one t. four, makes a comijound easy to apply, and very effectual. Shortly after, the part to which the soap mixture has been applied should be washed with pure water and a-non drying oil rubbed on. Oil of turpentine Mnd lard oil. equal parts, with a little carbolic acid is per haps the convi nient mixture to make, andi efe -tual in its application. Ani mals that are al'ected with vermin need better care and higher feeding in order to overcome the drain that, th se paraites make upon the sys tom. THE roots of shrubs and trees dug up I front the woods or fields should be carefully envered to shield them from the sun and wind wihile they are being cariiert home, aUd, ndeed un il plant ed. -Ti.ey should also be severly cut I back. The only reason Nihy nursery trees are u ore saf ly transllanted than I th.:.se from tue ield and forests is that a more abundant root growth has been sezured by transplait ng. The o'd, t long, woo.Iy roots are cut away and a more compact growth of fibrous roots j is induced. A tres in the woods Is supported by long tap or surface roots extending far away flom the 6tei. Tise, in transplanting, must be sacri fict d. The inequality, then, between whatremainsand thestein and bi a.ch . es Is great. The htter must. be cut b ck to create new equil.brium. Unless so treated, most forest trees wii alil af ter. removal. OA-r AND WHICAT.--The experiment has been made of sowing oats and wheat together with a View to gain a winter covering for the wheat. Tote seed, in proportion of one part of oats to two parts of wheat was sown in the fall and the oats sprang up and Were killed by the early frosts, the stalks and leaves lying on the ground all winter, keeping the snow from blow ing away and preventing the sun from thawing the frozen. ground. lit the s5pting the d sad oats make a good top dressing for tIce growing wheat.

Daily Republickn.. Mrs. Adam Grubb, 231 Walnut street [iss been a great sufferer for a number :f years from extronie pain in the feet, something like rheumatism. She was also very much troubled with ,orns and bunions. It was with great liflculty that she could walk, and sometimes when she would visit her husband's shoe store or any of her children, she could not get home %gain without assistance, and often when she was walking along the streets she would be se!zed with such acute pain that she was compelled to stop at the neighbors on her way untti she got better. Some two weeks ago she heard of the wonderful curo St. Jacob's Oil was effecting and she at once commenced to use It and experi enced great relief Immediately. The pains have left her feet and ankles and the Inflammation has left the corns and bunions. She Is now tripping 'ap to her husband's shoe store and out to see her chidren without experiencing any pain.

The tailor took his measure and went lower and lower, while his a $mishmit n went hilghiir anl higher. At last he stopped a little below the knee and threw his measure over his shoulder. "Well," said Chain, "do you stop there?" "Monsieur, for farty-filve francs I cannot go lower," answered the tailor.

DOMRSTIC. WHITE AND GLCAN TERrR.-Cleanlt ness of the teeth is to the eye what purity of breath is to the enose of smelling. Nothing, indeed is more de.. saible in the appearance of a lady than clean, white teeth, and the gums the color of the rose;. nothing more repul sive than unoleau, discolored and un oared for teeththiokly 3norusted with tartar. The most beautiful face and lips are disagreeable if thelatter,when open, exhibit the offensive spectacle of neglected teeth. The whiteness of teeth is liable to be lost by the influence of va bous causes, and they are tarn ished by the action of different ele ments and by the exhalations of the stomaoh. When the loss of whiteness is occasioned by the production of tartar; a coral stick may be used to clean the teeth and to remove the tar tarous salt; the blackness of the teeth may be sometimes corrected by pulver izing equal parts. of tartar and salt, and, after washing the teeth, rub them with this powder, The gums cannot be tealthy unless they are Arm and red and adhere to the ,ro6ts of the teeth-these quantities depending in a great measure on the health. The gums are.lable to a variety of acol dents which impair both their health and beauty, and which often transform them into very unsightly objects. Sometimes they grow soft, swell and appear full of liquid and corrupted blood, at others, they project and cov er a great part of the teeth ; they also become inflamed, painful and affected with offensive ulcers. A good cleans ing mixture may be made by amalga mating an ounce of powdered myrrh, two spoonfuls of white honey, and a little green sage in fine powder; wet the gums with a very little of this at night and morning. Powdered chai - coal Is also an affective article for cleansing and whitening. Guilty of Wrong. Some people have a fashion of con fusing excellent remedies with the large mass of "patent medicines," and in this tns they are guilty of a wrong. There are some advertised remedies fully worth all that is asked for them, and one at least we know of-Hop Bit ters.
