Si'tt il Mlssaoe. Tlie President of

the Secretary of War, in regard to exten

Cor gress is invoked to make provision for
arres' ing the threatened difficulties. The
President says :
'The proposed temporary provision to
meet a special dt inrind, far from obviating,
iu my judgment, only serv es to illustrate
the urgent necessity of an increase of the
regular nriny, at least the extent recom
mended in my lute annual message. Un
less by the plan proposed, or some equal

into the field adequate to the suppression
of existing l ostilities, tho cuinbinaton of
predatory bunds will bu extended, and
the difficulty of restoring order and secu
rity greatly magnified. On the other
hand, without a permanet military force of
sufficient strength to control the unfriend
ly Indians, it may be expected that the boss
tilities will ooti be renewed, and that
years of border warfare will aflliet the

Many of these noble birds still nest in

compared with the numerous flocks that a
few years since, might be seen holding
their strange dances oi some favori;e knoll,

lacking the harmony, it is about as loud
and melodious as a fashionable opera air.
The Sand Hill Crone is omniverotis,
devouring pretty much anything eaten by
birds. The nest is n simple pile of rush
es, or grass, flat on the top, built in some
ueep siougn or pond, lneeggs iwo in
number are shaped much like those of
the common turkey, of a light amber col
or, und splashed with brown. The nest
is usually surrounded by deep water, but
the joung birds swim readily, and leave
it as soon as hatched. It is believed by
many that they separate immediately upon
leaving the nest, each of the old birds tak
ing care of one the supposition being
that they would fight if allowed to remain
together. Iu corroboration of this some
what singular idea, I can only say, I never
found two of the young birds in conipiny,
and a pair which I had caused a hen to
halch, fought from the timu tin y left the
shell till, in fact, they killed each other
oul right.
This bird is easily domesticated. I kept
one for several years, who showed all the
attachment and intelligence of a dog.

JO The washerwoman who attempted
to hang her clothes on Mason und Dixon's
line has been prosecuted fur 4 vlolat ion of
Ihe last great compromise.
Vui.oauiiv in DuloS. To people
who may fancy they are making them
selves more respectable, by covering
themselves with extravagant and gaudy
colored dresses, tho following contains u
whole some lesson :
" The honorable Miss Murray, sister
of a Scotch Duke, und maid of honor to
Queen Victoria, has been staying for some
days past in New Yoik. Miss Murray is
a lady of fine person, robust health, und
uncommon energy of character aged
about 35 years. She has visited severa.
of the public institutions, and been enter
tained by many citizens at tbeir bouses,
where her frank una cordial manners, her
sing liar intelligence and great kindness
of heart huve secured her m..ny friends
Miss Murray, we understand, litis keenly
enjoyed her extended lour in this country.
Sh" appears, however, to have been struck
wii.li umatenietit of the expenditure, the
7ielflsntii8, and the r.l-htabh of that un
fortunate class of beings, the fashionable
women of our cities. Miss Murray, like
all the fashionable women of Kurope,
dresses so plainly that it probably costs
her less to dress for a whole year, than
many a New York 1. dy expends for hull
a-dozen handkerchief J . It is u settled
thing iu Europe, that txtravaganee in
dress, is ihe very txtrenu of vulgarity,
und is never indulged in, except by those
whose only claim to distinction, is L10
length of purse." Lathes' Futerprise,
try Ma," said an inquisitive little
girl, "will rich and poor live together
when thty go to heitveur" "Yes, my
dear, they will be all alike there." 'Then
ma, why don't rich and poor Christians
associate together here?" The rich lno'.h
cr did nut answer.
injury. If any one had abused him, it was
of no avail to uttempt disguise; he recog
nized his enemies in any dress, and by un
angry croak showed his displeasure, and
warned them to keep out of his reach.
He was a great gormandizer, and was ve
ry fond of Celd mice, many of which he
destroyed, fasting quite expert at fuidin"
their nests. iiudttirehinir out the iiimati
with his h'ug till, lie would have been
of service in the gaiden, were it not for
his ii.quisitive propensities, which led
him to pull up for examination every
thing he saw us plant. Though a desire
for knowledge might be very laudable,
this mode of obtaining it met our disappro
bation, and eventually caused his banishment.
Though a migratory bird, he did not
seem to suffer from cold in the winter,
and being fond of wuding, even kept a
pl.ice in a neighboring slough free from
ice till late in ihe season, by trumping
about in it. I provided him with a warm
house, but he preferred lo sleep w iih the
cows. He always slept . beside one of
them, lvinf flat on his breast, with his
ees folded under Ilim, and his head and
long neck turned back between his wings
He was on good terms with all the cattle
and might frequently bo seen playing with
them; his part of the performance consist
ed in springing up, flapping his wings, and
whooping tremendously. This was pre
cisely the si.me as the dancing of his wild
brethren. He would also dance to the
waiving of ihc handkerchief; and on win.
dy washing-days sometimes danced for
hours at a time to the clot Ins on the line
When much enragd, he would stand with
his head und bill pointed directly upward
and utter a harsh, croaking sound, quite
unlike his usual whoop.
A young crane makes no despicable ar
tide of food. The old ones, I should gup
pose, would be rather tough and snaky
but nn old Indian hunter of my ncquain
lance says, "A turkey is not half as good
enliiio-."
AuJubon supposed this to be only the
young of the while crane, but ho wan
wrong. The white crane is more of
southern bird, and exceedingly rare here
I saw a pair flying over this fall for the
first time. These two species are umjng
the largest and finest of our Norlli Atne
rican birds.

Newspapers. Small is the sum that
is required to patronize a newspaper, aud
most amply remunerated is the patron. I
are not how humble and unpretending
the gazette which he takes, it is next to
impossible lo fill a sheet fifty-two times a
year, without putting into it something
that is worth the su'oscrip'ion price.
Every parent whose son is off from him,
should be supplied with a newspaper. I
well remember what a difference there
was between those of my schoolmates

To Cube a FtLos. A felon gener
ally appears on the end of the fingers and
thumbs; it is exlremrly painful for week
and sometimes months, and, in most caes,
cripples or disfigures the finger or 'thumb
that falls a victim to it. Hut it can be
easily cured if attended to in time. As
soon as the pain is felt, take the thin white
skin of an egg, which is found inside the
shell; put it round the end of Ihe finger or
thumb affected, keep it there until the
pain subsides. As soon as the skin be
comes dry it will be very painful, and
likely to continue for half an hoUr or
more, but be not alarmed. If it grows
painful, bear it; it will be of short dura
tion, compared to what the disease would
be. A cure will be certain.
