Folks think there is a great mistery about making hens lay in winter, Tuere is none anybody can do it that is, the hens will lay if yon let Uiem. They bear a good deal of cold in the sunshine, and even freeze their combs and toes, and yet will ot stop laying altogether if they can sleep waim. Now do not begin to plan settiug rp a stove in the hen house, or i n^ roducing steam pipes. A rtificial heat is not poisonous perhaps, but Teiy nearly so to chickens. They are wavm ibemselves and need only to be crowded on their roosts, with the roobts all on one level. The coiling of the roosting room should be only a few feet above the fowls' heads, and provided witii yentilation from the floor if possible. GIto them very dose qourtfflrs, with no drafts of cold â- ir, and dean out nndo: the roosts eyeiy mormng, net excepting Sundays. ^e combs will thai redden up, and the eggs will be plenty on less feed than nsnal.

While last week we informed our readers that the Mayor was in a fair way of recovery from his prolonged illness, it is with a feeling of profound sorrow that we are new called upon to record his death, which occurred on Monday evening shortly before six o'clock. Mr. D. A. Creasor was born on the 11th of September, 1838, in the Township of Yespra, County of Simcoe, and was educated in Barrie Grammar school. He came to Owen Sound in the year 1855, and has re- mained a citizen since that time. Mr. Creesor studied law under his brother Mr. John Creasor, m the office of Wilson and Pawrson, of Toronto, and was admitted to the bar at the Easter t^rm in 1860. Mr, Creasor commenced to practice law in Owen Sound, and soon commanded a large and lucrative clientage, and during his residence here has accumulated a fair share of this world's goods. Though by no means an office-seeker he was always ready and willing to serve I he town in the various positions to Avhich he was called by his fellow citizens, and occupied the positions of Councillor, Deputy Reeye, and Mayor, vhich office he ably fllled at the time of his death and during the past three years, haviLg been elected each time without a contest. Mr. Creasor held a high position in the Masonic traternity, and was also a prpminent member of the Orange Society, having at one time occupied the position of County Master. Mr. Creasor was possessed of a most genial and hospit- able disposition, and delighted to entertain his friends at his elegant mansion, Ingleside. Mr. Creasor was married in 1863 to a daughtsr of Mr, John. Piatt, of Toronto, a,nd leaves a widow and tiiree children â€" one son and two daughtersâ€" who haye the sincere sympathy of the entire com- munity in their irreparable loss. As a mark of respect tnc flag of the town was at half-mast from the time of his death till after the funeral, which took place this (Wednesdey) afternoon, and was very largely attended by our citizens generally, the Town Council, the Masonic fraternity, the Orange body, the Firemen and the band. â€" O. S. Advertiser. â-  mm I Horse Breediag in America. Fifteen Million of Horses are now owned in America, and more than a million a year must be bred to keep up the supply. The largest portion of tiiese are used for agricultural and heavy draft porpoaes and such horses bring from $175 to $250 each. It would be impossible to breed them if it were not for the importations of Fercheron horses. 500 stallions are now umnally imported from France to the United States, 'i'he immense wealUi they are adding to the nation will be better understood when it is known that the first cross of a Perch- eron stallion with a native mare doubles the selling value of the eolt when mature. Large nnmben of Fercheron stallions are exported from the Umted States by Canadian breed- res to renew the old French blood so highly prized, and also tojgive quality, style and action to the large English Ihraft and Clydesdale stock which has been bred there so long. Nearly one himdred Fercheron stallions have been sold to Canada during the pabt two years by M. W. Dunham, "Oak- lawn Farm," Wayne, Illinois, the greatest importer of the French race, Acho has imported from France nearly 2,000 head. He now has on hand several Hundred of the finest Fercheron to be found in France, nearly all recorded with their pedigrees in the Fercheron Stud Book of France. 124 .-; ,-:-:â- â- :â- :â- -._[' 8 impoBTAirr.

HOUSE AND 8EVER1I. ACRES OF LAND SWEPT AWAY BT A BUESTXNG MILI. DAK. Meafoed, Dec. 21. â€" About six o'clock this morning the embankment of Vain's mills dam gave way, and the immense body of water held by it^ swept across the road and down thfr street in front of Chief Grant's. In a few hours the bridge gave way. Over five acres of land have been carried away. Mr. t Abbott's entire lot, dwelling-house and outbuildings, are swept away, and a part of Chief Grant's orchard, including seventeen choice fruit trees. What was once a fine street is now the bed of the river. The water is still rising, and it fs impossible to estimate the damage at present. Oood Manners. .^4 Good manners constitute the most valuable of earthly possessions. All mav have them by the cultivation of the efifections, and none without it. Only for the few are learning and genius, wit and beauty, wealth and fame; but good manners, with their dowery of happiness, are for all who- are willing to pay the price of self- culture. That lady lives not, what- ever her station in life, but who by amiable temper, pleasant words, and kind acts, may shed light and comfort on the hearts and homes of earth. That man is yet to be born who may not possess those elements of power, if true to the obligations of his beings which brighten and bless human society. There is a wealth cf affection and kindness in every human heart,, if properly developed and the de- velopment and expenditure of the same in social life is a duty we, at once, owe to ourselves and the world. â€" Truth. The Want of Energy. Want of energy is a great and common cause of the want of domestic comfort. As the best laid fire can give no heat and cook no food unless it is lighted, so the clearest ideas and purest intentions will produce no corresponding actions without that energy which gives power to all thai is of value, which is nevw more necessary or available than in the mistress or mother of a fiunily. Those who have it not â€" and many con stitutionally destitute of it â€" would do well to inquire of their experience and their conscience with compensating virtues they can bring into the marriage state to justify them in entering on its duties without that which is so essential to their per- formance. They should consider that the pretty face and graceful languor, which, as it is often especially attraetiveto the most impetuous of the other sex, gained them ardent levers, will not enable them to satisfy the innumerable requisitions and secure the social happineiss ot the fidgety and exacting husbands, into which characters ardent and impetuous lovers an generally transformed. urarminv Up. "But, doctor, I mu$t haye sooae kind of a btimnlant," cried the invalid earnestly; "I am cold and it warms me." "Precisely," came the doctor's crusty auswer. "See here this stick is cold" â€" taking up a stick of wood from the box beside the hearth, and tossing it into the fire, "now it is warm; but is the stick benefitted?" The sick man watched the wood first send out 7o£b of smoke, and then burst into ilame, and replied, "Of course not, it is bnroing itself!" "Audsoareyou when you warm yourself with alieohol; yon are literally burning up the delicate tissnxes of your stomach and brain. " Oh, yes, alcohol will warm you up but who finds tiie fuel^ When you take food, that is fuel, and as it buriu out you keep warm.
