"...Many a New England village nen .aould, in the opinion of the most fasti- dious of Frenchmen, well bear corapari- Jana with the best to be found in France. The neatness of the rooms, the goodness of the beds, the cleanliness of the sheets, the smallness of the reckoning,filled him with amazement. Nothing like them were to be met with in France. There the wayfarer who stopped at an ordi- nary inn overnight slept on a bug -infest - Aid bed, covered himself with ill-washeol aheets,drank adulterated wine,aml to the annoyance of greedy servants was -added Ilse fear of being robbed.

The great io,ont, -With its low ceiling and neatly -sanded jeer; its bright pewter dishes and stOut- backed, slat -bottomed chairs ranged along the walls, its long table, its huge fireplace, with the benches on either side, - where the dogs slept at night,and where the guests sat, when the dipped candles were lighted, to drink. mull and flip, possessed some attraction for everyone. The place was at once the town -hall and the assembly -room, the courthouse and the show tent, the tavern and the ex- thaage. There the selectmen met. There *he judges sometimes held court. On its door were fastened the list of names drawn for the jukes, notices of vendues, offers of rewards for stray cattle, the names of tavern -haunters, and advertise- *lents of the farmers who had the best xeedepotatoes a.nd the best seed -corn for dale. It was at the General Greene,' air the 'United States Arms,' or ; the - Heath," that wandering showmen ceeltited their automatons and musical *locks, that dancing -masters gave their lessons, that singing-sehool was held, that the caucus met, that the colonel atopped during general training.

They wrangled .over politic, made bets, played tricks, and fe!i into disputes which were sure to lead to juraping-matehes, or wrestliag- ateltes, or trials of strength on the vile ge green. As the shadows lengthened, the [(Jungers dispersed, the tavern was ate fel, and quiet settled upon the town." How to Keep Warm in Dakota. Of the many hardships with Which the pioneer has had to contend, i none finest perhaps been greater than that of protiding his family with the necessary fact for winter. Twisted hay has been the. settler's main fuel; for with soft coal at $8 and hard coal at $12 per ton, tut few could afford the luxury of a cell the While twisted hay is not to lar.sueezed at as a heat producer, still it hes had its draw:backs, not the least of which has been the time consumed in preparine it. ',tow :hen has a settler been called free his work to "twist just a few tet .ts " to finish the baking? iNone DU:, "61-tose who have been there can have an idea of the annoyance and loss of time caused by fulfilling just such little Keg LleStS. In winter, if one depends on Eay. it is nothing but twist, twist, twist, and when the hay is twisted itkeeps ;1 one warm di feeng it to the stove. If Tau. sit down to write you must ise at every period and put a twist in the anive, and if you forget it for eter so ahort a time you will find yourseif amazing and catching cold. :Bat new all that is done away with. geese enterprising Yankee in the vicin- ity of Mitchell, Dakota, has invented an attaehment far cook stoves whidh is the W eeder and admiration of the country. The aptaratus is nothing: more nordess thin a eheet-iron boiler,- about the shape of. an ordinary wash boiler. °only deeper.. To operate it , you stuff the oiler full of flax straw or loose hay- -the flat straw is preferable—and, taking off the griddles over the fire -box of the stem, ou place the boiler upside down oie r the griddle lades; and it is truly surprising what ea intense heat it will cirdt. Ont tilling will last from one to three hour, according to the draught aon give it, and yea have a fire equal to a coal for baking and all other pur- peses. As there is an abundance ditto: at -raw in the country fuel is now costing the people next to nothing. :One of the Chioago coal merchallts Complained the other day that they were losing their beet wad customers. on account of the -^ blasted boiler invention." As it is not patented, and can be made by any thaner its cost is but $1.50, which places it within reach of all. A great many are using their old wash -boilers, which do very well, but they are not ;nearly as good as the regular ones. Farm Notes. Salt cures bay placed in the stack too green, principally by abstracting mois- ture during the process of liquefaction. Hard woody hay may do for city horse -stables, where the principal food is grain. Its feeding is poor economy on the farm. Don't sprinkle kerosene on plants to kill ants, lice, etc., just because some newspaper may have quoted kerosene as an insecticide. Even the emulsions of kerosene must be used in connection with common sense. - There is no doubt that the slight sweatine of hay in the. cocks adds ma- terially.to its value, especially if clover constitutes a portion. Subsequent air- ing generally goes On sufficiently while handling to the wagons and thence to the stack., • It is not correct, as has been stated in print "if milk is brought just to •the boiling point, then poured immediately into cans and sealed air -tight, it will keep indefinitely." It must be heated in the can or jar in which it is to be pre- served, and when the steam is escaping freely, the orifice is sealed and the cans, thereafter kept cool. That it is better to spread manure oil the field at once rotten than to place it in heaps and thereafter spread it, • is obvious if the matter is carefully looked into. It is not probable that the escape of gases into the air is any greater in the one case than in the other. Spread evenly, the soluble parts are car- ried equally into the' earth, the manure is more easily tuned under than when newly laid, and it takes longer to spread from the heap than from the wagon. The matter is of especial importance in manuring for summer crops. The dew deposited on plants and the surface of the. ground is very rich in ammonia; it is, in fact, the condensed moisture of the air,: and holding often all the ammonia it contains. When id- losved to evaporate these fertilizinti properties are lost, but if this is turned under by the plow or cultivator, the ammonia is absorbed by the soil and saved for crops. Herein is another of the advantages fromt getting out to work early in the marling: • There is no time like morning before breakfast to hoe cabbages to make them grow. A well -kept half -acre in garden -truck will furnish half the living of the far- mer's family. • An • ill -kept one is a costly nuisance. In • an article on the subject the New England Farmer gives good advice as follows: A good gat - den should have, if possible, a variety of land,_ warm and early, and moist and late, to give early and late erops.• It should be well drained if too wet, and should be cleared from stones, so that the plow can be run deep and without being obstructed in its course. If any land will pay for heavy manuring it is the land used for a garden. Rich land. will often push crops along faster than the myriads of insects can destroy them. Plant nearly or everything in rows, far . enough apart for the horse and culti- vator to rim between them. This will make the garden cultiyation little more expensive than the cultivation of field crops. Perth Items. —A young man named James Bryclon„ residing near Milverton, had his right hand caught -in a grain crusher the other day. It was mangled fearfully; and the thumb and forefinger had to be amputated. —The stable on the feria itt Hibbert just vacated by Mr. Jas. Hopwood and, now owned by Mr. Lanery was reduced' to ashes on Wednesday. night last week. Some hens and pigs were also burned. The fire was caused by the overturning of a lantern. —The Kirkton school -house had a narrow escape from burning the other night. A quantity of kindling placed on the top ofethe stove to dry ignited. A paseer-by noticed the light and gave the alarm. The firemen soon extin- guished the flames. —On Monday evening, last week, a checker match was played by telegraph between the. Listowel and New Ham- burg clubs. Three games were played, • and all were won by. Listowel, and Prouder may they be." —A 12 year old son of Mr. John Mur- ray, of Downie, was drowned in the Avon on Saturday, 27th ult. The boy was standing on a piece of ice which broke loose, and floating into the stream collided with another piece, throwing the boy into the water. ,—South Ptrth voters' list has been amended as follows: St. Marys, 105 names added—majority of ten for Lib- • eral party; Downie, 38 added—Liberals 35, Conservatives 3; Usborne, 28 added —Liberals 24, Conservatives 4; Blan- shard, 53 added—Liberals 25, Conserva- tives 24. —On Monday evening 29th ult., in "Nlitchell, about forty of the old soldiers of the Lord's Army. which made its first appearance in Mitchell two years ago that day, assembled at the residence of Mr. Lathwell, their late captain, to celebrafe the occasion. After refresh- ments, an enjoya,ble time was spent in singing the old time hymns and review- ing the work accomplished. —A grand sawing match took place at Russeldale on Tuesday, last week, at. which there was a very large turn out • of farmers and others. Allison brothers shewed best skill and muscle at thefirst trial and Dunlop brothers in the extra class. The holiday was finished -up by -a dance in the hall in the evening where the accomplished Brodhagen band gave thrilling music. —Mr. R. Tilly, of Mitchell, when on his way to Manitoba Monday last week, discovered, just as he was nearing To- ronto, two Mitchell boys—James Hill and Wm. Moodie—secreted among the hay in the cattle car. They explained that they were anxious to get to Mani- • toba, bet Mr. Tilly telegraphed ta their • parent, and on receiving an answer to • send them back some friends managed to capture Hill, and he was shipped for ! home, which be reached Wednesday evening, having been met in Stratford by his mother. The other hopeful has not yet shown up. . - The Mitchell Recorder teils the story of Mr. Brooks' sale of " Scots • Whs. Hae" as follows : Mr. Charles Brooks has parted with his handsome • imported stallion, "Scots Wha Hae," for the sum of $1,500. It is only a short time since Mr. Brooks refused $1,800 for the same animal, and he had no intention of making the present sale. On Thursday last Mr. Edward Henry asked him what he would take for the horse and he replied in a jocular way • $1,50b. Mr. Henry produced a $5 bill and taunted Mr. Brooks to take it on the bargain, and the latter not thinking there was anything but a jest intended, took the money. Mr. Henry walked up • town, and a few hours after •parting with Mr. Brooks he met Mr. John Jacobs, of Fullarton, to whom he told the story of his transaction. Mr. Jacobs asked what he would take for his bargain and he replied sm. Mr. Jacobs handed him over $5 tohiettle the bargain. Mr. Henry then went to the bank and aaranged for the sum required, and on Saturday he approaelied Mr. Brooks with $1,495, and the latter could not get out of taking it. The horse on the same day passed into the possession . of Mr. Jacobs, and Mr. Henry pocketed $50 out of the transaction. Bismarck's Faith. - Said Prince Bismarek in the speech at Ferriers "If I were not a Christian I would not serve the King another hour. If I did not obey my God and put my' trust in him, my resect for earthly rulers. would be but small. I have ellough to. live u on, and as a private man I should en oy as much consider- ation as I desire. Why, then, should I exhaust 'myself w ith unwearying labor in this wOrld ? \Thy expose myself to difficulties, imple samtness, and ill-treat- ment, if I had iott the feeling that I must do my duty efore God and for his sake? If I did n t believe in a divine government of th world which had pre- destined the -Ger nan nation to some- thing great iiiid goods I would abandon the trade of diploMacy at once, or rather I should never haVe undertaken it. I do not knowt• whence niy sense of ahity should:con-re except from God. Titles and decorations have no charm for me. The confident belief in a lifeafter death —that is it—that is why I ism ,a; royalist ; • without it, I should by nature be a re- publican. All the steadfastness with which for these ten years 1 have resist- ed every conceivable absurdity has been -derived only from my resolute faith. Take this faith faom me'and you take my country too.* . . How willingly I would leave it all! I am fond of coun- try life, of the fields and the woods. Take away- from me my. belief in•my personal relation to God, and I am the man to . pack up. iny things to -morrow, • to -escape to Varzin and rook after my crops. " A Pecnliar Will: • In the year 1803 there 'died at Bath a lady who had amassed considerable money. On the inside of her pillow -slip was pinned a note i which ran thus: "1 have made a will. If you would be rich find it." There -Nsrp.s something charming in this idea. The old. lady must have been of a humorons turn of mind. No .doubt she often Pictured to herself her • young and aged relations male and female alike, in pursuit of this phantom fortune. Carpets' would be ripped up, - the contents of cushions and beds scatter- ed -about the floor, the wall -paper torn down, the garden dug. up, and, in fact, everything turned . topsy-turvy. The story goes that the Search went on night and day for a week, each party being anxious, naturally enough, to find the will;• when, just as the -search was about:to be given up in disgust, the doe-- ument was faund tightly sewed inside the lady's wig. Then the family gather- ed together to heat it read. It consist- ed of. one clause; and that was to the effect "that the finder . of this, in con- sideration of his labor and good luck :in finding it, shall have the sum of one penny a day for his natural life, the rest of my property to go the charities named below." Here the story ends. Nothing is said about the feelings of the will -seekers, which is disappointing; for there is as grandscope here for the pen of the novelist as there is for .the brush of . the painter.—Manchester Times. . Blanketing Cows. It is -quite common for owners of valu- able horses to blanket them in extreme- ly cold weather. Why should not the same treatment be given to cows? The product of milk is suddenly diminished by exposure to cold and stories. Good milk takes from the cowernuch that should go to sustain aniinal heat. Cows exposed to severe storms give milk less in quantity and thin and poor in quality. The sufficient reason for this .is that the carbon in the -food which would other- wise go to make cream and butter has to be burned up in the cow to prevent her from suffering with cold. At least, if a cow is not blanketed she should be pro- vided with a comfortable stable or shed. Catarrh—a New Treatment. Perhaps the most extraordinary success that has been achieved in modern Medicine has been attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh. Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured 151 this stubborn malady. This is none the less startling when it is remembered that no five per cent. of patients .presenting themselves to the regular practitioner are benefitted, while the patent medicines and other advertised cures never record a --cure at all. Starting with the claim now generally believed by the most scien- tific men that the disease is due to the presence of living parasites in the tissue, Mr. Dixon at once adapted his cure • to their extermination— ehis accomplished, he Claims the Catarrh is prac- tically cured, and the permanency is unquestion- td, as cures effected by hitn four years ago are cures still. No one else has ever attempted to cure Catarrh in this 'manner, and no other treat ment has ever cured Catarrh. The application of the remedy is simple, and can be done at home, and the present season of the year is the most favorable for a speedy and permanent cure, the majority of eases being cured at one treat- - ment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs. A. H. DIXON & SON, 305 King Street, West, Toronto, Canada, and encldse stamp for their treatise on Catarrh.—hlontreal Star, Noveniber 17.1882 ••882-52 ‘11111211111MMIZZIOSCIar ,i2X1 ST. •JAMES' HOT" WM% %AM, • TORONTO.

AS CONSCIENTIOUS DRUGGiSTS, —WE WOULD— recommend for DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION andl kindred diseases, the use of MALTOPEPSYN. For Consumption and all wasting, diseases, the use of MORSE'S CARBOLATED NORWEGIAN COD LIVER OIL. For teething, infants and nervous troubles, the use of GLYCEROLE OF CELERY COMPOUND (containing no opium.) • You probably ask why we recommend these remedies! It is because we know them. to be reliable remedies, endorsed by leading physicians throughout the Dmilinion, for the cure of specific diseases, and not claiming to cure everything. Also becausethey have the exact formula printed on eech bottle la.bel,thereby enabling the pur- chaser to know just what he is taking. The tinie is rapidly approaching when intelli- gent people will refuse to take quack cure-alls, the ingredients of which are kept secret, but will insist upon knowing just what they are taking.
