(i S.STARK, V,'. attornky at law, PITTSTON, PKSK'A I I I I I I | $| M 1 N K R S' Never, since that memorable July Sun- i day, when the Morgue was crowded with the dead of the Wes'field disaster, has so hideous a spectacle been witnessed at the I public, dead-house as thst when the poor r women, burned to death at the Fifth Avenue Hotel tire, were brought iu. A New York paper savs ? Everybody has either seen or heard of the gloomy-look- i ing little building, adjoining Bellevne I Hospital, on the Twenty-fifth"street side, j near the river. At night a lamp, with naught but the griiu inscription Morgue" painted thereon, serves as a beacon for the driver of the death-laden ambulance. Some dozen yards distant from the principal entrance is a small postern, only nsed by Warden Brennan on one occasion, and that is when the sorpses borne thither are too mutilated for recognition. Through this door, at three o'clock, were carried the charred remains of the victims of the Fifth Avenne Hotel fire. Passing thronjih this small opening in the wall, one found himself iu a yard of limited dimensions, surrounded by a high fence on the side nearest the river. A door at the furthest corner opens into the office nsed by the "Warden's dupnty, who here keeps his grim record of the names of all bodies brought there. Another door opens into a small room used for storing away corpse* until the funeral. A goodly supply of rude red pine coffins are here kept ready for immediate nso. The Warden confessed that it was a hideous task, that of ranging the coffins in row in the small yard, ready for the ashes directly they should arrive. The number of victims having been at first exaggerated, fully twenty shells were placed in line. A few minntes past three, the first arrival was announced by the ominous ring of the bell. The moon was shining brightly at the time, and the sound made by the gong was echoed back from the silent river. SAVINGS BANK C. W. FREEMAN.

If we could get at the facts, it would doubtless he fouud that the rate of consumption varied considerable in different sections oi tlio country. In the Southern States, corn takes the place of wheat to a very considerable extent. The tendency there, however, is towards a larger consumption of wheat, and this, we believe, is the case in the Western States also. DIEKCTOKS OKRM S A General Banking Business Done.

Lawes & Gilbert further show, very conclusively we think, that there is a steady increase in the amount consumed per head. This is dne to the iacteased prosperity of the people. Up to a certain point, an increased income leads to an increased consumption of bread; hut when this point is reached, then au increased income tends to the consumption of less bread and much more meat.

The lanterns were brought out, but these were hardly necessary, as the moonbeams rendered the ;icene as clear and distinct as though it had been broad day. In answer to the summons a corps of keepers issued from the little office, where they had been waiting, and forthwith commenced the work of bringing in the remains of these servant girl?. They presented a horrible and ghastly appearance, rolled up in blankets to prevent the ashes from falling apart. The glimmer of the lanterns threw a ghastly light over the burned lornis. The remains first, carried in were a frightful spectacle indeed. The upper portion of the body was perfectly recognizable. The hair, of course, had been singed off, the eyes were gone, but the breast and what remained of the arms were only scorched. The flesh on the bust had peeled off, and the hands and wrists were entirely gone. The stumps of the arms were raised up, as though the victim had sought to protect her face from the blaze by shielding herself with her hands. The muscles, sinews, and tendons were intact, but only in this part of the body. From the waist downwards the limbs were an unrecognizable mass.

The icy brook was there, for one tiling, and there seemed always to be a draught through the little valley. But the hermit sat iu a putch of wintry afternoon sunshine that lay on the brown grass like a sprinkling 01 frozen cream, and read out of a heavy old book. He shivered in all his bones and was far from happy. Then through the woods there came a child, a bright and bonndiug boy, gathering long wreaths of ground-ivy, and the branches of the red-bellied liollv. boy "How do you mean?" shouted the la AKh-cakes ?"

Something for the Ladies, LOCK STITCH SEWING MACHINES. 271 SOUTH MAIN STREET, To be sijjre the heads of the best regulated households are apt to grumlDitj while paying their wives' dressmaking bills. Yet men.are usually fastidious iu regard to woman's dress. Even those who are careless in regard to their own attire take delight in seeing their wives neat in appearance. They admire coquettish garments, neatly dressed 1'air and all the thousand fasty and fanciful Lttle articles with which young women adorn themselves, more than they would be willing to allcw. The neatness and ardor which charmed them,"! too often gives place to a slovenly morning gown, frowsy hair, slipshod and unlaced shoes, and the like; for many women who make it a study to please the meu they wish to marry, display great carelessness in dress after marriage. Men do not like this. They reason that women should have the same desire to please the men they have chosen, after mahiage as they did before it. The last new song loses its charm coming from the lips of a slattern. The poety goes out of life at a glance, and the household loses its brightness. The wife, who 011-account of household cares, neglects her personal appearance, commits a grave mistake, which too often bears bitter fruit, and their husbands leave their society for that of others without really knowing the cause ; most men are too proud to tell them. Let women always give the same care to their dress after marriage which they gave it before, and not rush from the room to " dre3s up " only when there is a prospect of ''company.'' Let them consider that that wliisli gives them a chann in the eyes of their friends has a like effect on a husband, aud they will see that he will not have so "many business calls in the city in the evening, but will have the same delight iu their society as in the days of courtship.

The boy reached the house first, and told about tli? wonderful thing the hermit had found in his stocking, and when the good man arrived, he and his baby bad one of the w-.irmest welcomes that ever wD»s seen.

Ever so many ladies sized on the big storking, and the sweet little cherub was quickly pulled ont aud tenderly cared for. All the people in the halls and parlors crowded around the hermit, and lDe had to tell his story over and over again. When the baby was quiet and comfortable and had been dressed nicely the hermit went up stairs to look at it, and he carried it down, cradle and all, aud walked proudly around with it so that everybody «ordd see what he had found in his Christmas stocking.

Opposite Phoonix Kail, arge and varied Hardly had the first ambulance driven away when the second dashed up Twenty-filth street. It contained, besides the scorched remains of another victim, the bleeding and ghastly form of a woman who had been dragged from the debris alive, but was fast dying. Fortunately she was insensible, and, on being carried into the hospital, died immediately after her admission. Her body was at once carried out into the dead-house, and, as her name was known (Mary Ann Hagan), she was not placed in lire with the others, but was placed in a shell, and kept in the dead-house. The ambulances still continued making journeys to and from the hotel, and on each succeeding arrival at the Morgue the same scenes as those before described were re-enacted. The first signs of dawn were just visible across the river when the death wagoi performed i is last journey from the hotel This time it brought two bodies wrapped n bed-quilts. Portions of dress were also enclosed which later in the day furnished clues for* recognition. Including the last two arrivals ten chaired bodies or portions of bodies lay in the little back-yard. The Warden's assistants busied themselves in covering the remains as mnch tut was possible, leaving orfly the faces and any portions of dress discernible. Even then it was a ghastly spectacle. Besides those cases before mentioned some cf the victims, judging from the positions of their limbs, must have had a hard struggle fori if e.

It may lie ■i very good hole, but it don't seem to me that it would do very well for Christmas. Do you ever hang up your stocking ?" The hermit laughed. It was the first time he had laughed in eighteen months. The hermit never went back to hfs cave. He would not hear of such a thing as giving up his baby, and it would never do to keep such a tender child in a cold hole in a hill. So he took a frame house in the village, and had a cook-stove and things, and a good woman to take care of him and his child, and there he lived as happy as a king. On any bright morning, in those days, he might be seen walkiug up and down his garden, the baby on one arm, and his heavy old book open on the other. He always said that the best thing he ever did in his life was to haug up his stockiug ou that blessed Christmas eve.

C A glass-spinner of Vienna manufactures glass which he spins into thread finer than cotton fiber or that spun by the silk-worm. Great dexterity and constant care are required, and it is very trying to the sight of the spinner. The wheel he uses is five Austrian yards in diameter, and he rnns off three thousand yards a minute. The glass-yarn is sold for one dollar and thirty-six cents in gold an ounce. This thread is nearly as fine as silk lint It is used as a substitute for wool mapping by patients suffering from gout, and also by chemists and apothecaries for filtering, as it resists acids and heat. The thread has lately been woven into cushions, carpets, tablecloths, shawls, neckties, and other garments, also for weaving figures in brocaded silk and velvet. As a material for fancy dresseg, embroidery, tap* stry, laces, and dressing for the hair, it is particularly brilliant and attractive. It is almost as soft as silk, and to the touch like the finest wool or eotton. It is remarkably strong, remains unchanged by light, heat, moisture, or acids; will wash and does not fade or burn. The Austrian Minister of Commerce has already organized schools fhr glass-spinning in various places in Bohemia, and qnite'a number of articles made from the ma* terial are for sale in the shops of that country. There are beautiful Bedouin tassels to be had for about fifty cents each ; perfect imitations of ostrich feathers, ranging in price trom half a dollar to three dollars each ; ladies' cutis and neckties ; cravats for gentlemen's wear • hats and bonnets of all colors, and trimmings of every sort, all very beautiful, and exactly like the ah lies they are designed to imitate. The exact composition of the glass used is kept a profound secret among the workmen, /it. 28.1870.

All therefore, in want of any part or parcel of a gentleman's garment, from a Shoe to n Hat, can be suited.

At eight o'clock, therefore, the bolts were withdrawn, and a huge crowd of men, women, aud children surged through the narrow doorway. The unlimited dimensions of the yard allowed only one person to make the circuit of the yard at a time. The eagerness and impetuosity display by the crowd soon prompted Warden Brennan to send for a corps of police to keep the crowd in order. The men soon arrived, and immediately caused every person who desired to view the remains to fall into line. This queue soon reached up Twenty-fifth street to First avenue, and was then continued up the avenue in the direction of Twenty-sixth street. It was a motley crowd that presented itself, but on every face a look of deep couccrn was plainly visible. Shopgirls, who before going down town found time to visit the dead-house, hurried thither in breathless anxiety. The same with old women and old men ; they all crowded through the door, but the sight was too inucq for them and they turned their faces to the wall and tried to get back into the street. The crowd behind, however, pushed in and everybody admitted must needs traverse the circle. Numbers on first seeing the charged masses and smelling the odor of burnt clothing which pervaded the place shivered violently, hid their face in their hands, and hurried past without once looking to the right or left before again reaching the street. which can be produced. Having hatl a long anil active experience iu th« Milling business, and being the owner and operator of a Mill in the Cumberland Valley, producing seventy-ilve barrels of flour per day. from the bent wheat grown in the State, he hopes to be able to sell a superior flour and at as low a rate as the market will afford. He invites a resume of business with old friends, and a trial iroin the trade in general. EH KEYSTONE MARBLE YARD. NEW-YORK. J. A. TVisvr.n. Frakkun Whithet. S. J. BARBER, Prop'r.

And then through the woods, with his trailing load of green leaves and glancing berries, went the happy boy. The hermit always kept his promises. If lie had promised the meanest cat to meet her at Michaelmas, on the top uf a hill forty miles away, Michaelmas would have found him there, whether fhe meanest cat came or not. So, that night he hung up his stocking on a tree. He was a stout man, and his woolen stockings, which came up over his knees, were larger than those we generally see in the shops.

Alao Lute that night a poor wood-cutter was hurrying home through the forest. 1 lie no Dn was shining brightly through the trees and he wrs still far from his home, whfn by the eide of the path he saw a basket. Stooping down he lifted up the lid, and there was a little bit of baby, of hardly any age at all. The wood-chopper gazed with compassion on the sleeping infant. "I'oor little thing!" lie said. 41 Some one h«is put you here to be picked up or to die. I can not leave you here to freeze." 80 saying, he took up the baby out of the basket and walked away with it under his arm. But he did not know what in the world he was going to do with it. He had eleven children of his own, and his wife was very severe; and as to bringing home another baby, he knew she would uevt-r allow that. While he was thinking this way and /-lmost wishing he had lelt the child to found by somebody elDe, he saw the irmit's great stocking hanging from a et. ' That's just the New Theory of Consumption. — Dr. Henry MacCormac of London, in a new book, puts iorth the theory that tubercular disease of the lungs is caused solely by breathing air which hns already passed through the lungs of either brutes or human beings, or air that is deficient in oxygen. Assuming the quantity of air in the chest at about 230 cubic inches, and that from 20 to 30 cubic inches are changed and removed during each respiratioa, about ten breathings will suffice to renew or exchange the gaseous contents of the chest cavity. At each inspiration four to five per cent ol the oxygen is, or should be, replaced by qbont the same quantity of carbonic acid,an D which in a few hours would be rei ed by an appreciable weight of t rjIIE BRANDENBURG BAKEItY f'HAS.

SCROLL SAWING OF ANY KIND DONE Some women with more courage than the rest gazed on the horrible sight and despairingly beat their hands together. There were some tearful eyes, but the spectacle was too appalling for tears. As young girls entered and first «aw the fleshiese arms and breast in the first coffin they gave a suppressed shriek and pressed against the wall to be as far off as possible. About nine o, clock several friends stepped into the yard and recognized five of the bodies. They were those of Moran, Mary McCabe, Mary McDonald, Mary Dewy. Mary A. Hagan having died in the hospital, had already been recog nized. Thus five are recognized, and five remain to be identified. The mutilated condition of these unfortunate persons renders it extremely improbable that they •ver will be identified. Their friends may suppose them to be Jbst ones, bnt the identification can go no further. No •eenes, such as u»uany accompany recog- FOREST HOUSE, SCRANTON, PA. May 16, '6i TO ORDER A Goon Idea.—A gentleman who has frequently experienced the disadvantages of depending on memory, and who finally chose a better way, urges, through Moore's Rural, each of his brethren in industrial pursuits to supply himself with "a small blank book with a pencil in it." On its pages a man could set down every important item of business necessary to be looked after. For example, needed repairs about (he farm, garden, orchard, dwelling, barn. Again, those who write for agricultural papers often have ideas which present themselves to the mind, and which they would like to pnt in due form for publication another time. A good plan is tq jot them down at once, and then, at leisure, give ample expression in words, and thereby benefit others by the lessons of your experience.

A New York paper savs ? Everybody has either seen or heard of the gloomy-look- i ing little building, adjoining Bellevne I Hospital, on the Twenty-fifth"street side, j near the river. At night a lamp, with naught but the griiu inscription Morgue" painted thereon, serves as a beacon for the driver of the death-laden ambulance. Some dozen yards distant from the principal entrance is a small postern, only nsed by Warden Brennan on one occasion, and that is when the sorpses borne thither are too mutilated for recognition. Through this door, at three o'clock, were carried the charred remains of the victims of the Fifth Avenne Hotel fire. Passing thronjih this small opening in the wall, one found himself iu a yard of limited dimensions, surrounded by a high fence on the side nearest the river. A door at the furthest corner opens into the office nsed by the "Warden's dupnty, who here keeps his grim record of the names of all bodies brought there. Another door opens into a small room used for storing away corpse* until the funeral. A goodly supply of rude red pine coffins are here kept ready for immediate nso. The Warden confessed that it was a hideous task, that of ranging the coffins in row in the small yard, ready for the ashes directly they should arrive.

In the Southern States, corn takes the place of wheat to a very considerable extent. The tendency there, however, is towards a larger consumption of wheat, and this, we believe, is the case in the Western States also. DIEKCTOKS OKRM S A General Banking Business Done.

In answer to the summons a corps of keepers issued from the little office, where they had been waiting, and forthwith commenced the work of bringing in the remains of these servant girl?. They presented a horrible and ghastly appearance, rolled up in blankets to prevent the ashes from falling apart. The glimmer of the lanterns threw a ghastly light over the burned lornis. The remains first, carried in were a frightful spectacle indeed. The upper portion of the body was perfectly recognizable. The hair, of course, had been singed off, the eyes were gone, but the breast and what remained of the arms were only scorched. The flesh on the bust had peeled off, and the hands and wrists were entirely gone. The stumps of the arms were raised up, as though the victim had sought to protect her face from the blaze by shielding herself with her hands. The muscles, sinews, and tendons were intact, but only in this part of the body. From the waist downwards the limbs were an unrecognizable mass.

The icy brook was there, for one tiling, and there seemed always to be a draught through the little valley. But the hermit sat iu a putch of wintry afternoon sunshine that lay on the brown grass like a sprinkling 01 frozen cream, and read out of a heavy old book. He shivered in all his bones and was far from happy.

Something for the Ladies, LOCK STITCH SEWING MACHINES. 271 SOUTH MAIN STREET, To be sijjre the heads of the best regulated households are apt to grumlDitj while paying their wives' dressmaking bills. Yet men.are usually fastidious iu regard to woman's dress. Even those who are careless in regard to their own attire take delight in seeing their wives neat in appearance. They admire coquettish garments, neatly dressed 1'air and all the thousand fasty and fanciful Lttle articles with which young women adorn themselves, more than they would be willing to allcw. The neatness and ardor which charmed them,"! too often gives place to a slovenly morning gown, frowsy hair, slipshod and unlaced shoes, and the like; for many women who make it a study to please the meu they wish to marry, display great carelessness in dress after marriage. Men do not like this. They reason that women should have the same desire to please the men they have chosen, after mahiage as they did before it. The last new song loses its charm coming from the lips of a slattern. The poety goes out of life at a glance, and the household loses its brightness. The wife, who 011-account of household cares, neglects her personal appearance, commits a grave mistake, which too often bears bitter fruit, and their husbands leave their society for that of others without really knowing the cause ; most men are too proud to tell them. Let women always give the same care to their dress after marriage which they gave it before, and not rush from the room to " dre3s up " only when there is a prospect of ''company.'' Let them consider that that wliisli gives them a chann in the eyes of their friends has a like effect on a husband, aud they will see that he will not have so "many business calls in the city in the evening, but will have the same delight iu their society as in the days of courtship.

Ever so many ladies sized on the big storking, and the sweet little cherub was quickly pulled ont aud tenderly cared for. All the people in the halls and parlors crowded around the hermit, and lDe had to tell his story over and over again.

Opposite Phoonix Kail, arge and varied Hardly had the first ambulance driven away when the second dashed up Twenty-filth street. It contained, besides the scorched remains of another victim, the bleeding and ghastly form of a woman who had been dragged from the debris alive, but was fast dying. Fortunately she was insensible, and, on being carried into the hospital, died immediately after her admission. Her body was at once carried out into the dead-house, and, as her name was known (Mary Ann Hagan), she was not placed in lire with the others, but was placed in a shell, and kept in the dead-house. The ambulances still continued making journeys to and from the hotel, and on each succeeding arrival at the Morgue the same scenes as those before described were re-enacted. The first signs of dawn were just visible across the river when the death wagoi performed i is last journey from the hotel This time it brought two bodies wrapped n bed-quilts. Portions of dress were also enclosed which later in the day furnished clues for* recognition. Including the last two arrivals ten chaired bodies or portions of bodies lay in the little back-yard. The Warden's assistants busied themselves in covering the remains as mnch tut was possible, leaving orfly the faces and any portions of dress discernible. Even then it was a ghastly spectacle.

It was the first time he had laughed in eighteen months. The hermit never went back to hfs cave. He would not hear of such a thing as giving up his baby, and it would never do to keep such a tender child in a cold hole in a hill. So he took a frame house in the village, and had a cook-stove and things, and a good woman to take care of him and his child, and there he lived as happy as a king. On any bright morning, in those days, he might be seen walkiug up and down his garden, the baby on one arm, and his heavy old book open on the other.

C A glass-spinner of Vienna manufactures glass which he spins into thread finer than cotton fiber or that spun by the silk-worm. Great dexterity and constant care are required, and it is very trying to the sight of the spinner. The wheel he uses is five Austrian yards in diameter, and he rnns off three thousand yards a minute. The glass-yarn is sold for one dollar and thirty-six cents in gold an ounce. This thread is nearly as fine as silk lint It is used as a substitute for wool mapping by patients suffering from gout, and also by chemists and apothecaries for filtering, as it resists acids and heat. The thread has lately been woven into cushions, carpets, tablecloths, shawls, neckties, and other garments, also for weaving figures in brocaded silk and velvet. As a material for fancy dresseg, embroidery, tap* stry, laces, and dressing for the hair, it is particularly brilliant and attractive. It is almost as soft as silk, and to the touch like the finest wool or eotton. It is remarkably strong, remains unchanged by light, heat, moisture, or acids; will wash and does not fade or burn. The Austrian Minister of Commerce has already organized schools fhr glass-spinning in various places in Bohemia, and qnite'a number of articles made from the ma* terial are for sale in the shops of that country. There are beautiful Bedouin tassels to be had for about fifty cents each ; perfect imitations of ostrich feathers, ranging in price trom half a dollar to three dollars each ; ladies' cutis and neckties ; cravats for gentlemen's wear • hats and bonnets of all colors, and trimmings of every sort, all very beautiful, and exactly like the ah lies they are designed to imitate.

All therefore, in want of any part or parcel of a gentleman's garment, from a Shoe to n Hat, can be suited.

At eight o'clock, therefore, the bolts were withdrawn, and a huge crowd of men, women, aud children surged through the narrow doorway. The unlimited dimensions of the yard allowed only one person to make the circuit of the yard at a time. The eagerness and impetuosity display by the crowd soon prompted Warden Brennan to send for a corps of police to keep the crowd in order. The men soon arrived, and immediately caused every person who desired to view the remains to fall into line. This queue soon reached up Twenty-fifth street to First avenue, and was then continued up the avenue in the direction of Twenty-sixth street. It was a motley crowd that presented itself, but on every face a look of deep couccrn was plainly visible. Shopgirls, who before going down town found time to visit the dead-house, hurried thither in breathless anxiety. The same with old women and old men ; they all crowded through the door, but the sight was too inucq for them and they turned their faces to the wall and tried to get back into the street. The crowd behind, however, pushed in and everybody admitted must needs traverse the circle. Numbers on first seeing the charged masses and smelling the odor of burnt clothing which pervaded the place shivered violently, hid their face in their hands, and hurried past without once looking to the right or left before again reaching the street. which can be produced.

He invites a resume of business with old friends, and a trial iroin the trade in general. EH KEYSTONE MARBLE YARD. NEW-YORK. J. A. TVisvr.n. Frakkun Whithet. S. J. BARBER, Prop'r.

And then through the woods, with his trailing load of green leaves and glancing berries, went the happy boy. The hermit always kept his promises. If lie had promised the meanest cat to meet her at Michaelmas, on the top uf a hill forty miles away, Michaelmas would have found him there, whether fhe meanest cat came or not. So, that night he hung up his stocking on a tree. He was a stout man, and his woolen stockings, which came up over his knees, were larger than those we generally see in the shops.

Alao Lute that night a poor wood-cutter was hurrying home through the forest. 1 lie no Dn was shining brightly through the trees and he wrs still far from his home, whfn by the eide of the path he saw a basket. Stooping down he lifted up the lid, and there was a little bit of baby, of hardly any age at all. The wood-chopper gazed with compassion on the sleeping infant. "I'oor little thing!" lie said. 41 Some one h«is put you here to be picked up or to die. I can not leave you here to freeze." 80 saying, he took up the baby out of the basket and walked away with it under his arm. But he did not know what in the world he was going to do with it. He had eleven children of his own, and his wife was very severe; and as to bringing home another baby, he knew she would uevt-r allow that. While he was thinking this way and /-lmost wishing he had lelt the child to found by somebody elDe, he saw the irmit's great stocking hanging from a et. ' That's just the New Theory of Consumption. — Dr. Henry MacCormac of London, in a new book, puts iorth the theory that tubercular disease of the lungs is caused solely by breathing air which hns already passed through the lungs of either brutes or human beings, or air that is deficient in oxygen. Assuming the quantity of air in the chest at about 230 cubic inches, and that from 20 to 30 cubic inches are changed and removed during each respiratioa, about ten breathings will suffice to renew or exchange the gaseous contents of the chest cavity. At each inspiration four to five per cent ol the oxygen is, or should be, replaced by qbont the same quantity of carbonic acid,an D which in a few hours would be rei ed by an appreciable weight of t rjIIE BRANDENBURG BAKEItY f'HAS.

SCROLL SAWING OF ANY KIND DONE Some women with more courage than the rest gazed on the horrible sight and despairingly beat their hands together. There were some tearful eyes, but the spectacle was too appalling for tears. As young girls entered and first «aw the fleshiese arms and breast in the first coffin they gave a suppressed shriek and pressed against the wall to be as far off as possible. About nine o, clock several friends stepped into the yard and recognized five of the bodies. They were those of Moran, Mary McCabe, Mary McDonald, Mary Dewy. Mary A. Hagan having died in the hospital, had already been recog nized. Thus five are recognized, and five remain to be identified. The mutilated condition of these unfortunate persons renders it extremely improbable that they •ver will be identified. Their friends may suppose them to be Jbst ones, bnt the identification can go no further. No •eenes, such as u»uany accompany recog- FOREST HOUSE, SCRANTON, PA. May 16, '6i TO ORDER A Goon Idea.—A gentleman who has frequently experienced the disadvantages of depending on memory, and who finally chose a better way, urges, through Moore's Rural, each of his brethren in industrial pursuits to supply himself with "a small blank book with a pencil in it." On its pages a man could set down every important item of business necessary to be looked after. For example, needed repairs about (he farm, garden, orchard, dwelling, barn. Again, those who write for agricultural papers often have ideas which present themselves to the mind, and which they would like to pnt in due form for publication another time. A good plan is tq jot them down at once, and then, at leisure, give ample expression in words, and thereby benefit others by the lessons of your experience. In the words of the excellent Captain Cuttle, "make a note of it."
