A family ;ln La Crosso, Wis., hnvbe'en missing stove wood lor several weeks past. v - Oa the return of the nlembersof the family a few days since, the case was stated, and Sunday a very pretty stick of fuel was left yith the others on the wood pile. Monday the stick was there Tues day the stick was thoro, and the augh was getting on the man who loft it. "Wednesday morning the stick was gone. . Wednesday morning an explosion was heard in a house, near by, and the kitchen window was spared no panes. . , On going to the spot a sight might have been seen. The stove had joined a conference. A kettle of pork and cabbage shot up through the root like an arrow. A dish of apples" stewing on the stove gave the coiling the appearanco of a map of California. . A cat sleeping under the stove went through after the devil, or the doctor. The cat has not been ' heard from since, but a smell of burnt cat hair pervades that house very thoroughly. A flat iron was hoisted into 4 pan of, j-:.u 1 1. ii 1 ii. . woml-hoT looks dink, whiln fl. vcf the houso looks like a bursted apple dumpling. , The occupants of tho ruin wore heard say: ""''Such furider never comes "p'efore. I buys a litenfn' rod, py tarn!" Foul Tla v. During the cross ex amination of a false witness at the Tombs the other day, tho district at. torney asked him where his father was; to which tho witness responded, with a molancholy air: "Dead, sir, dropped olF very sudden ly, sir." "How came ho to drop off sudden ly," was tho next question. 'Foiil play, sir; tho Sheriff imposed upon his unsuspicious nature, sir, and, getting him to go on a platform to take a look at a select audience, sud denly knocked a trap-door from under him, sir." Dtino. There is n diirnity about that going alone, wo call dying that wrapping the mantle of immor taliiy about us; that putting aside with a pale hand azure curtains that are drawn around this cradle of a world; that venturins away from homo tor the first time in our lives; for we are not dead there is nothing dead to speak of, and we only go off seeing foreign countries not laid on the map we know about. There must be lonely lauds somewhere starward, for none ever return ihat ' go thither and wo much doubt if any one would if they could. "W't, daddyj you're going to die!" . "Wall, I guess T know what I'm 'bout!" ' -. - "W'y, daddy, wot's to becomoof me if you die?" "I dun no, and don't care! Wot I want to know is, wot's to becumfmel" Atthis stage of the collequy our reporter judged that the correct and delicate thing for him to do would be to retire, lie rotirod. Abernethy Qnce said to a rich but dirty patient, who consulted him about an eruption : : "Jjct your eorvantbringto you three or four pails of water, and put it into a wash tub; take off your clothes, get into it, and rub yourself well with soap and a rough towel, and you'll recov er."' :-!V' : "This advice seems to be very much like telling me to wash myself," said the patient. ; . , . ;' ; i "Well."

The agents of two rival safe manufacturers were recently presenting thcjclaims of theirjrespect- rye articles. fa Onejwasjt Yankee; theother was not '' ;' ie that wasn'tjtoldhis story.; - , A game cock hadfbeenshut'J up , in one'of hiBsafeBj'andthen it was ex posed three days to the most intense hejtt. - When tho' doorTvyas' opened the cock stalked out, flapped Thiswings, anii cowed loudly, as if nothing had happened. ?t was nowtheJYankeo's turn, . A cock had also boon shutjip in 6no of his safoswith"ajpoundof fresh but ter, andtho safo was submitted to the trial of a tremendous het for moro than a weok. The legs of the safe, were melted off, and the door itself sojfar fusod as to requiro the use of a cold chisel to get it opened. ' Whenjitftvas openod.Jthocockwas found trozen dead, andJtho butter so solid; that a man fwhoti.knoeked off a pioco of it with-his 'hammer had his eye knockedout with a frozen butter splinter. 'J3lack Cake.

This ex cellent remedy for a cough is made thus: Boil one ouncd of flaxseed in a quart of water for half an hour; strain and add to the liquid the juice of two lemons, and half a pound of rock candy. If the cough is accompanied by weak ness and a loss of appetite, add half an ounce of powdered gum arahic. Set this to simmer for half an hour, stirring it occa sionally. Take a wincglassful when the cough is troublesome. i ' j Lemon Cake. On cup of butter, three cups of sugar, the yolks of three eggs; dissolve a teaspoonful of saleratus in a tea cup of milk; add the grated peel of one lemon, and the vfhites of three eggs, and sift in, ajs light as possible, four teacups of flour. In the Index to a book of common tarics on law, is the following: i ?'JudgeS. his great mind." Turning to the page indicated, was the following: ,"The judge said he had a great mind to commit the prisoner." The crop of flax seed raisod in the west this year , is supposed to bo at least twice as large as that of any previous season. . - : Peter Lorillard, the New York To bacco manufacturer, lately deceased, loft an estate of $15,000,000; So much for snuff. .
