Novel Plan of Hakin^BHtter.
A singular method of making butter has lately come into quite extensive use in France, based upon the observed fact, that cream is changed into butter by being simply buried in the earth. The theory of this result is not very intelligible, though the fact is stated to be bej'ond question and in .Normandy and other parts of France, butter is actually prepared on a large scale in this way. The pro cess consists in placing the cream in a linen bag of moderate thickness, which is carefully closed then burying the bag about a foot and a half deep in the earth, and allowing it to remain from twenty-four to twentyfive hours. After the expiration of this period the cream is found to have become hard, and it is then broken up by means of a wooden beater into small pieces, and enough water poured upon it to wash out the buttermilk. To prevent any mixture of earth, it is advisable to enclose the bag in a second one of larger size and coarser quality. This method of making butter saves a great deal of labor, and separates the butter more perfectly than the ordinary process and we are assured that butter thus prepared is of most excellent quality. Phil. Ledger.
The Blocs.
"Have faith in God" is probably the best shape in which a receipt for "the blues1' can be put. Methods of application vary, however, and this correspondent believes great help is found in keeping one's eyes open on the lookout for good things in others.
This constant gazing upon one's self is the cause of nine-tenths of so many otherwise, good people. I say "otherwise," for unless one has lost a friend, or has failed in business, or is sick, or in love, it is wicked to have the blues, and even then in the last three cases it is the most foolish thing to do. Keep your eyes open for the good things of the world, and your minds will have less room for the bad. When you find a good thing seize upon it. Gloat over it as so much gained. 'Tis well to be enthusiastic. Says an excellent writer: hold it a good sign when a man is filled with admiration for anything. The tendency is to elevate him.1' A keen sense of the ludicrous is an excellent tonic. I ask no better treat than an hour's ride in a railway car, and the privilege of watching the play of human nature around me. It never fails to amuse and instruct! trie.
The Law of Advertising.
in New York the other day the law of advertising was well elucidated. The publisher of a daily paper had the Standard Life Insurance Company in the Supreme Court, before Judge Fithian, for a bill of $773 on account of advertising. The Company resisted payment on the ground that they had authorized but one insertion. There was no proof, however, of this. There was no order to that effect on the bill, and the Company did not attempt to deny that they saw the advertisement continuing in the paper and. failed to countermand it. When an advertisement is received in a publication office without tile number of insertions marked upon it, or the cost of the insertion paid for at the time, the publisher can know nothing of the wish of the advertiser respecting the number of insertions desired, and as he can do nothing until advised by him whose business it is to attend to the matter, he can charge for every insertion given the advertisement until it is ordered out.
Rat* Ealing a Drunken Man.
Yesterday afternoon, a man who is in the habit of getting drunk, while in a state of beastly intoxication, crawled into the back room of an old building on Adams street, near Summit, where he remained for some time in a drunken stupor. While in this condition the rats thought to have a meal at his expense, and had persons not discovered the man when they did, he probably would have made food for the hungry Norways, as they were gathering about him in large force, and were evidently just prepared for the attack when discovered and driven off.—Toledo Commercial.

A recent number of
a
a
Nevada
newspaper gives an account, furnished by a correspondent, of the armies of locusts, grasshoppers or crickets that devastate those regions. The locusts, it is stated, came in three or four divisions, each a mile long by half a mile wide, stopping at nothing, and passing through lire and water. On reaching the Ouyhee river, the locusts ran out on the branches of the willow trees, then jumped into the stream and swam across to the oppo site shoie,
distance of thirty leet.
The whole of this part of the country is covered with grass,- but the locusts, refecting
thiB,
their usual food,
attacked saddles, bridles and other leather articles, and in a short time devoured everything. The fish in the river which they crossed would not bite for four days afterward, having been completely satiated with the locusts.
A New Yorkpaper, speaking about the importation of canary birds from Germany, says the following sight was seen in Florence, Italy, in 1861, by a lady and gentleman belonging to New York: In walking in the principal street they overtook a man with along whip in hiB hand, which he was moving from one side to the other in what they thought was a strange manner. When they came up with him they found he was driving a flock of canary birds, as in England they drive a flock of turkeys.
A
riage came along, the man waved his whip in a peculiar manner, when the little birds all went to the sidewalk until the carriage bad passed, when they took to the street again. A woman wanted to buy oue, when the man sprinkled some canary seed at his leet and half a dozen of them came to him, when he took one up in his hand and delivered it to the woman, who paid him one franc for it. The man tlien went on aguiu.
