CURK FOR FROST BITTEN FEET. 

 Take the fat of a dmigliill fowl and rub the 

 place or places affected willi it, morning am! even- 

 iiig over a warm fire; at the same time wrapping 

 a piece of woollen cloth, well greased with the 

 same fat, mnnd the frost hitten parts. In two or 

 three days ihay will feel no pain, and in five or six 

 will be qiiito onred. If tlie inner bark of elder, or 

 t]>e leaves of plantain be first simmered with the 

 fat it will be the better. 



THE PEAR COLMAR DOWEZ. 



It Js stated in the Bulletin Universel, that this pear 

 lately originated in the neighborhood of Brussels 

 and is said to contain a rare assemblage of extra- 

 ordinary qualities; flesh tender, white, and exquisite- 

 ly melting. The juice abundant, mild, and of an ele- 

 vated ag'reeable perfume, equal to the Ilardenpont 

 d'hiver. In a note, it is observed that the Ilarden- 

 pont Pear is the same as the Glouglou ; and that 

 the Pear Gloux JMorceau de Cambron is the same 

 as the Bcurre de Neuve Maisons, and both resem- 

 ble the IlardeRpout, vulgarly called the Beurre d'- 

 " hiver. 



BUDDING. 

 Lt the Agriculturul Journal of the Pays Bas, it 

 is recommended to reverse the usual mode of rais- 

 ing the bark for inserting the buds, and to make the 

 cross cut at the bottom of the slit instead of the 

 top, as is done in Britain ; the bud is said rarely to 

 fail of success because it receives abundance of 

 he descending sap, which it cannot receive when 

 it is under the cut. 



Mr. L. L. Maeouiber, of Gardiner, Me. has se- 



iiij cured a patent for an improvement in stiffening 



( bats. One weighing only 41 oz. has been 



tloubled up, and put in the pantaloons pocket, 



whence being withdrawn and slightly shaken, it 



sprang out into perfect shape. Perhaps these elastic 



hats may supersede the frightful oper.a caps with 



it! which some young gentlemen disfigure their heads, 



"' and which should never be worn by day light. 



Bonnets have been made in the interior of New- 

 York of hornets and wasps' nests, which are easily 

 prepared and colored. 



A twin watermelon, placed in the office of the 

 Baltimore Farmer, last summer, remains perfectly 

 fresh and green ; although it has beeti handled by 

 thousands. 



In relation to the Bohon Upas, or poison tree of 

 Java, a fabulous account of which is going the 

 rounds, Capt. Delano, of Duxbury, in his voyages 

 states that it may be handled with impunity ; and 

 the Philadelphia Gazette states that when Java was 

 ue: in possession of the English, a physician of that 

 lity took a portion of the poison gum from a tree. 



Jinger and Reason. — When a man is angry it 

 will answer no good purpose to attempt to argue a 

 point with him, or to try to convince him that he is 

 wrong either in practice, or in principle. You must 

 wait till the paroxysm of jiassion has subsided, and 

 the impatient sufferer becomes again a rational 

 being. 



Some will acquire property by selling brick dust, 

 others will become poor by selling gold dust. 



A virtuous education, and habits of industry, 



make a better inheritance for children than a great 



,ii( sstate. We are very solicitous to acquire property, 



J but too often care but little what sort of heirs v/e 



leave it to.
