If they were removed to a vacant lot they could be converted into two dwellings of 26x82 and one 22x80 feet. We will suppose the whole would^ cost $125 where they stand, ^HO fer moving them $100 each, or $300 for fitting up for dwellings, and say $126 for a lot upon which to put them this makes a total investment of $600. They would then rent readily for $4 each per month, or $144 per year, or almost 25 per cent, on the investment. Who will invest CHOLERA PEETENXATIVE.

He was taken suddenly with congestion of the bowels on Monday morning, followed by in- flamation, and in spite of all that medical skill could do. he died m about twelve hours from the first f ymptums. This IS a heavy loss to the proprietors, tiiey having purchased this fine animal last spring for $2,500, and it is also a loHS to tlie surrounding country, as it was the first real fitae animal of his class which has been introduced into the district. We understand it is the intention of Trimble St Pielde to pro- cure another of the same class if pos- sible, and we trust those interested in the introduction of this high class A Baltimore lady has written a re- cipe for "cooking husbands so as to make them good and tender." It is as follows â€" A good many husbands are utterly spoiled by management. Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders, and blow them up. Others keep them constant- ly in hot water others let them freeze by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew by irritat- ing ways and words. Others roast them. Some keep them in pickle all their lives. It cannot be supposed that any husband will be tender and good managed in this way, but they are really delicious when properly treated. In selecting your husband you should not be guided by their silvery appearance, as m buying mack- erel, nor by the golden tint, as if you wanted salmon. Be sure to select him yourself, as tastes differ. Do not go /to market for him, as the best are al- I ways brought to your door. It is far better to haye none, unless you will patiently learn how to cook him. A preserving kettle of the finest porcelain is best, but if you have nothing but an earthenware pipkm, it will do, with care. See that thp linen in which you warp him is nicely washed and mended, with the required number of buttons and strings sewed Tie him in the kettle by a strong on. silk cord called comfort, as the one called duty is apt to be weak. They are apt to fly but of the kettle and be burned and crusty on the edges, since like crabs and lobsters you have to cook them while alive. Make a clear, steady fire out of love, cheerfulneos, and neatness. Set him as near this as seems to agree with him. If he sputters and fizzes, do not be anxious some husbands do this till they are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call kisses, but no vinegar or pepper, on any account. A little spice improves them, but it must be used with judgment. Do not stick any sharp instrument into him. to see if he is becoming tender. Stir him gently, watch the while, lest he pe too flat and close to the kettle, and to become useless. You cannct fail to know when he is done. If thus treated you will find him yery digestible, agreeing nicely with you and the children, and he will keep as: long as you Waut, unless you become careless and set him in too cold n place."â€" rit/ mts. iKiHtletoe lor Kissing Purposes.
