To those of our readers who are interest- ed in “houses and lands,” we publish ex— tracts from the address of E. H. Bennett, Dean of the Boston University, to the Massa- chusetts State Board of Agriculture, Hing~ ham, Mass. In the full text the learned author cites authority for most of his statements, which in general are as applica- ble to this State as Massachusetts. HOW TO BUY A FARM. It is quite generally known that a mere oral bargain for a farm is not binding in law upon either party; but it may not be so well understood that an offer to sell a farm for a given price, even though it be by letter or other simple writing, is not binding upon the proposer until actually accepted by the buyer. and he has also agreed to take it, and pay the price stated in the ofier; therefore the owner may retract his offer. to sell at any time before it is accepted and he is notified thereof (4 Johns. 235). And although in making his offer to sell, he should express- ly give you a certain number of days in which to decide, he may, nevertheless, change his mind in the mean time, if you have not accepted, and sell to another who offers a higher price, even before the given time has expired; and you would have no legal redress for your disappointment. Nay, more; although you had fully made up your mind to take the farm, but had not notified the owner of that fact, and should go to great trouble and expense in buying stock, tools, agricultural implements, &c., to carry on the farm, and should even move your family there to take possession, the owner might even then refuse to sell, and you would have no legal remedy either to compel him to convey, or for the expenses you had thus incurred relying upon his keep- ing his word. The only safe way in such cases is to take a bond for a deed, as it is called. An ordinary “refusal" Of property, as it is termed, is a dangerous thing to rely upon, unless you are dealing with a man whose “word is as 'good as his bond,” and they are very scarce. And, if a particular time is given you in which to accept an offer to sell, you should be particular to signify your acceptance strictly within the time, and to do so entirely unconditionally and without any qualifications,but exactly as it was made. In one instance a man had ten days in which to make up his mind, and on the night of the last day, about half past eleven at night, he called at the owner‘s house, after he was shed and asleep, and said he would take the farm. The owner refused to get up, or to take the money the next day, and the buyer tried to get the farm by a suit at law ; but it was decided that he came too late on the last day, and he not only lost his trade, but had to pay the costs of his suit (26 Miss. 309). In another case A. wrote to B. he would sell his farm for ‘three thousand dollars cash. B. wrote back immediately he would take it, if A. would make out his deed and send it to a lawyer for examination, and, if all right, the lawyer would pay him his three thousand dollars; but it was decided that B. had not duly accepted A.’s offer, because-he did not enclose the cash in his letter, but asked A. to carry his deed to a' third person for examina— tion, and consequently A. might withdraw and sell to another party (53 Me. 511 ) . WHAT A DEED OF A FARM INCLUDES. Of course every one knows it conieys all the fences standing on the farm (Iowa, 146 ; 43 N. 11. 306); but all might not think it in- cluded the fencing stuff, posts, rails, 6.70., which had once been used in the fence, but had been taken down and piled up for future use again in the same place (2 Hill, 149). But new fencing material just bought, and never attached to the soil, would not pass (16 111. 480 ; 3 Iowa, 220; 2 Scam. 283). SO piles Of hop poles stored away, if once used on the land, have been considered a part of it (1 Kernan,,123); but loose boards or scaf- fold poles merely laid across the beams Of the barn, and never fastened to it, would not be, and the seller of the farm might take them away (1‘ Lens. 219) Standing trees,of course, also pass as part of the land; so do trees blown or cut down, and still left in the woods where' they fell (54 Me. 309), but _not if out or corded up for- sale; the wood has then become personal property. ' If there be any manure in the barnyard, or in a compost heap on the field, ready for im- mediate use, fhe buyer ordinarily, in the absence of any contrary agreement, takes that also as belonging to the farm (13 Gray, 92; 3 N. H. 503; 11 Conn. 525), though it might not be so, if the owner had previously sold it to some other party,and had collected it together in a heap by itself (43 Vt. 95); and even the lessee of a farm could not take away’ the manure made on the place while he was in occupation (21 Pick. 367; 6 Greenl. 222 ; 15 Wend. 169). Growing crops also pass by the deed of a farm, unless they are expressly reserved (7 Watts, 378); and, when it is not intended to convey those, it should be so stated in the deed itself; a mere oral agreement to that effect would not be valid in law (19 Pick. 315; 46 Barb. 27S ; 22 N. H. 538). Another mode is tO stipulate that possession is not to be given until some future day,in which case the crops or manure may be removed before that time. As to the buildings on the farm, though generally mentioned in the deed, it is not absolutely necessary they should be. A deed Of land ordinarily carries all the buildings on it belonging to the grantor, whether mention- ed or not; and this rule includes the lumber and timber of any old building. which has been taken down, or blown down, and been packed away for future use on the farm (41 N. II. 505; 30 Penn. St. 185). _ But if there be .any temporary buildings on the farm built by some third person, with the farmer’s consent that they should belong to the builder, the deed would not convey these, since such buildings are personal prop. crfy, and do not belong to the landowner to convey. The real owner thereof might move them off, although the purchaser of the farm supposed he was buying and paying for all the buildings on it (38 N. H. 429; 19 Conn. 154). His only remedy in such case would be against the party selling the premises. As part of the buildings conveyed, of course the window blinds are included, even if they be at the time taken off and carried to a paint- er’s shop to be painted; it would be other. wise if they had been newly purchased and brought into the house, but not yet attached 01‘ fitted to it ( 40 Vt. 223). Lightning rods also go with the house, if a New England farmer is foolish enough to be overcome by those smooth-tongued lightning rod agents. A furnance in the cellar, brick. or portable (4 E. D. Smith, 275; 75 111.385; 39’ Conn. 362), is considered a part of the house; but an ordinary stove with a loose pipe running into the chimney is not (24 Wend. 19f),while a range or grate set in brick work is (7 Mass. 433; 33 N. 11. 104; 2 B. sore). Mantle pieces so attached to the chimney as not to be removed without marring the plastering go With the house; but, if merely resting on brackets, they may be taken away by the former owner without legal liability (102 Mass. 517). It is not yet fully settled in Massachusetts, whether “a deed of a house includes the gas fixtures therein or not,though 'it is generally understood, that, if a lessee puts in his own gas fixtures, he may remove them when his lease expires, (108 Mass. 193 ; 1 Duer, J63). The pumps, sinks,&c., fasten- ed to the building, are a part of it in law (99 Mass. 457), and so are the water pipes con- nected therewith, bringing Water from a distant spring (97 Mass. 133). If the farmer has iron kettles set in brick work near his barn for cooking food for his stock, or other similar uses. the deed Of his farm covers them also (19 Pick. 314),.as likewise a bell attached to his barn tO call his men to din- ner (102 Mass. 514; 46 Conn. 86). A cider mill goes with the apple orchard, and not with the last year’s crop of apples (41 N. H. 504). If he has a cattle barn on the premises, the tic-up planks, stanchionctimbers, , tie chains, and hinge-hooks used for fastening the animals in their stalls, belong to the barn and not to the cattle (41 N. H. 513). If the farmer indulges in ornamental statues, vases, &c., permanent] y erected, and resting on the ground by their own weight merely,and sells his estate without reservation, these things go with the land (12 N. Y. 170.) But even this might not be so, if the article had just arriv- ed, and never been placed or fitted to its position on the lawn (17 N. H. 282). ' urcurs 1x rut: ROAD. If a farm deed is bounded by, on, or upon a road, it usually extends to the middle of the roadway. There are a few exceptional cases; but ordinarily the farmer owns the soil of half the road, and may use the grass, trees, stones, gravel, sand, or any- thing of value to him, either on the land, or beneath the surface, subject only to the supe- rior rights as the public to travel over the road. and that of the hway' surveyor to use such materials for the repair of the road; and these materials he may cart away, and use elsewhere on the road, but he has no right to use them for his 'own private pur- poses (1 N. H. 16). No other man has a right to feed his cattle there, or cut the grass (44 -Vt. 49) or trees; much less deposit his wood, old carts, wagons, or other things thereon (8 Met. 576; '8 Allen, 473; 1 Penn. St, 336); and, after notice to the owner, you may re- move them to some suitable place,and if they are lost or injured it is not your fault (1'3 Met 53). The owner of) a drove of cattle which stop to feed in front of your land, or of a drove of pigs which root up the soil, is responsible to you at law as much as if they did the same things inside the fence. No- body’s children have a right to pick up apples under your trees, although the same stand wholly outside of the fence. No private person has a right to cut or lop off the limbs of your trees in order to move his old ham or other buildings along the highway (4 Cush. 437; 97 Mass. 472); and, even if the owner of the building has a license to move the same through the streets, this does not exempt him from liability to private suffer- ers. And no trfveler can hitch his horse to your trees in the sidewalk, without being liable, if he gnaWs the bark or otherwise in- jures them; and you may untie-the horse and remove him to some safe place (54 Me. 460). If your well stands partly on your land, and partly outside the fence, no neigh- bor can use it, except by your permission. Nay, more; no man has a right to stand in front of your land, and whittle or deface your fence, throw stones at your dog, or insult you with abusive language, without being liable to you for trespassing on your land (11 Barb. 390); he has a right to pass and repass in an orderly manner,—a right to use the road, but not to abuse it. Perhaps it may be well to state here, that, if the high— way becomes suddenly impassable by heavy snows or deep gullics, he may turn aside into your adjoihing land, without being liable as a trespasser, if he dces no unnecessary injux ry (7 Cush. 408). But, notwithstanding the farmer owns the soil of the road, even he cannot use it for any purpose which inter- feres with the use Of it by the public for travel. He cannot put his pig-pen, wagons, wood, or other things there, if the highway surveyor orders them'away as obstructing public travel. If he leaves such things out- side his fence, and within the limits of the highway as actually laid out (though some distance from the travelled path), and a traveller runs into them in the night and is injured, the owner is not only liable-to him for private damages (15 Conn. 225). but may also be indicted and fined for obstructing a public way. And, if he have a fence or wall along the highway, he must place if. all on his own land and not half on the road, as in case of division fences between neighbors (4 Gray, 215).. But, as he owns the soil, if the road is discontinued, or located elsewhere, the land reverts to him, and he may enclose it to the centre, and use it as a part of his farm. (Concluded met week.) A few days since we published an article from the Okalona, (Miss) Southern States, in which, in its exhuberance of joy, it ex- claimed: “Yes, thank God! we have the “Capitol:” and pledging its sacred honor that those who now have . the Capitol “will proceed to tear your amendments from the Constitution and trample them in the mire.” Since that gush the Democrats have under- taken to deny that the Southern States is a representative journal, insisting that it does not utter the real sentiment of the South. To show absurdity of such a claimfor it we have Democratic authority. The Hon. J. R. CLYMER, of Ohio, a leading Demo- crat, has written a letter to the Southern States, in which he says: “I am greatly pleased with the States in its peerless abil- ity and conscientious devotion to principle. Brother IIABPEII and you both wield tren— chaut and powerful blades. The cause of Jelfcrsoniau Democracy'uccds such men, who have the brains to plan and the brawn to strike.” This is exceedingly affection- ate and laudatory, and shows how heart- ily the Northern Democratic heart responds to the Southern spirit now and to the pro- gramme for 1880. They are all, whether North or South, ‘ftarred with the same ‘ ‘stick.”— I'Vasblngton Republican. Ax ALrixn AVALAxouu—T‘herc was a tremendous Alpine avalanche on the St. Gothard route On Jan. 24. The long pro- cessiouof sledges started from the hospice at the summit of the pass soofi after 5 o’clock and descended toward Airolo. At the first great bend in the road, not far from the little refuge house known as San Guiscppc, the two leaders Of the caravan noticed with alarm that a huge snow mass was breaking loose from the top of the mountain. Im- mediately the cry, “Backwards!” was rais- ed. Evcry one sprang in an instant from the sledgcs, and rushed up the road as fast as possible. The avalanche thundered down and horses and carriages was buried in a moment under the tremendous heap of snow. Fortunately no one of the company lost presence of mind, but all returned to the buricd~horses and sledgcs, and began the work of encavation with hearty goodwill. All the horses except two were dug out alive. The passengers were too much worn out and excited to continue their journey, so the horses were fastened to the sledgcs, and the whole party reasccuded and spent the night in the St. Gothard Hospice where they amused themselves with telegraphing the news of their wonderful escape to their friends. - Waterproof paper boots are worn in Japan _ Anecdotes of Heller. sour. or rm: GREAT iracrcmx‘s xxrumnxon wrru JAPANESE JUGGLERS. A reporter of the N. Y. Star had a chat recently with Haidee Heller,the sister of the late Robert Heller, in which she related seve-' ral interesting stories about her brother. “Why," she said, “in five years we visited California, Mexico, St. Thomas; ‘all through Australia, Van Dieman’s Land, South Aus- tralia, New Zealand,in various parts of India, Bombay, J uthporc, Allahabad, Calcutta; through the island of Ceylon, Point of Galle, Colombo and Kandy. Then we went to China, and played months in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Macao—back again to Singa- pore, and thence to the Island of Java. We had a splendid success in that lovely island, playing in such nice, easy—named places as Ambaraws, Socrakarta, Djokjakarta, Samar- ang and Pattekembang. A third time we went back to Singapore en route for Bombay. From Bombay to Aden, up the Red Sea into Egypt, Staying a long time in Cairo, where he fell ill. Then on to Alexandria, Malta and Giberaltar. After an awful passage through the Bay of Biscay, we brought up travcl~staincd, weary, but rich in pocket and wealthy in mind from Our wanderings.” “I suppose while in India you saw the famous jugglers of the East P” suggested the wily interviewer. “Many times. Robert was very much in— terested in all foreign conjuring. I remem- ber on the street in Hong Kong one day he discovered a little, sleepy old Chinaman at a corner doing the ring trick, and doing it better than he could himself. He stopped. paid the Chinaman to give him a lesson, and the following day hunted up the Chinese con- jurcr and showed himicombinations and im- provements on his own trick ’that made the pigtail on his astonished head vibrate with admiration.” “And about the Indian jugglers i" "I could tell you a hundred stories about those strange creatures. Robert used often to mystif y them and expose their trick to their great rage. We were laying off some miles away before Madras, on the steamship Su- mara, which had broken her shaft just as we left Madras for Ceylon, when a boat put off from shore with a party Of natives to sell us fruits,and among them was one of their most famous men of mystery. He came on board and it was suggested that“ he should perform there. “Spreading some sand on the deck, he planted in it a mango seed, from which he produced a mango free some eighteen inches high. “Then he did some surprising things with a venomous cobra, which he carried rolled in the cloth about his loins, concluding with a very clever trick, in which two pigeons, one black and one white, which were made to vanish at will, to change from one basket to another. The Captain urged Robert to do something to bother the man, who was very conceited about himself. \ “So Robert suddenly asked to look at one ~of the pigeons. He took thewhite one. With a movement like lightning he pulledthe head Off the bird. He held thehead in one hand, the quivering,» struggling, dying bird in the other, and then threw them overboard. “The commotion was frightful. The poor native shrieked and cursed, and gave vent to his rage in the choicest Bengalese. “The mighty white magician looked with merry eyes at the jugglcr’s distress. Then when the row was at its height and I began to feel uneasy about the issue of the prank, Robert suddenly raised his hands—oh, those beautiful, white,wondcr working hands. He. mysteriously beckoned, as if summoning the dove from its watery grave, and pointed up- ward. (No one had looked overboard after the first dart Of the bird. into the water.) There was the white dove circling round in the air; in one moment it alightcd on the bit of carpet before its despondent owner, un- harmed. Curses gave way to profound salaams and prayers that the great white magician might never die. “And how did he do it P Why, simply by having in his hand one of his stage properties —a white dove’s head—which had figured in a hundred tricks. Quick as thought he had turned the living dove’s head under its wing. As we were so far from land,though set free, it returned to the ship. It is not so much that which is done, believe me, Mr. Stages it is the dexterity with which the thing is done. This is my silver thimblc, is it not i” The interviewer, who has excellent vision, promptly says “Yes,” for the slender white palm of Miss Heller is extended, and the “truncated cone, semi-perforated with inden- tations" lies alone in its glory upon its out- stretched surface. ' “See how mistaken you are,” laughs the lady, as she shuts and opens her hands with the rapidity of a winking eye; the thimblc is gone, and in its place is an ugly bit of rub- ber the reporter had just laid down. “ Pitovinsxcs aannoruucr.——Rcv. J o eph Cook, in a noble passage in his prelude, the other day, referred to the facts of Provi- dence and of Prophecy “What has Provi- dence meant in carrying forward all the years Of human history according to a given plan? When I sat under Abraham’s oak at Ichron, I opened the Scriptures, and read that from a chosen man should spring a chosen family; and that from a chosen family should spring a chosen race; and that from a chosen race should spring a founder of a new religious empire; and that out of a chosen race should thus come afichosen religion; and that this religion should embrace the earth. As I sat three hours alone under Abraham's oak and read these statements concerning chosen man, family, nation and religion, I could not but be impressed, I will not say with the feel- ings of superstition, but certainly with those .of awe and terror and faith and hope." ”I setino dates. Prophecy is, perhaps, never adequately explained except by its fulfillment. I will hot attack the devout scholars who have lately in a prophetic con- ference discussed these topics with great learning and earnestness. Much mischief, no doubt, may come from mysticism on the topic of prophecy; but more mischief may come from our coldness, from our differ- ence on this theme, and from our unwill' ingness to look upon the absolutely overaw- ing facts that prophecy has been fulfilled ; that as the past has been, so the future will be; and that as God has kept so he will continue to keep his word with us. The same mysterious predictions which have been fulfilled to the letter for four tl. tusuml years foretell also the enswathing of the globe with akingdom which now very nearly touches arms around it.” A CHANGE IN FUNERAL Fxsutoxs.—The gradual change in mortuary customs is a matter of occasional notice. For several years the floral fashion continued to increase until it reached a climax at Stewart’s fun- eral. The expense of decorating the coffin with other displays suitable to that occasion, wits $10,000. This excess brought an im- mediate reaction, and since then flowers for mortuary purposes have almost fallen out of use. Another feature in fuuerals is the choice of evening as the time of service, after which the remains are taken away for interment. The escort to the grave on such occasions is limited to the smallest number that may be required. It would be well if another point could be brought into fashion,—that is, an abatement in display of mourning, which, indeed, were “a con- summation devoutly to he wished." The present depression is seriously felt.among the untlcrtakers, who find it very difficult to make collections. Hence they are chang- ing in their policy, and instead of encourag- ing expensive funerals they advise the contrary, unless in cases of known :wealth. This'arises from the abOvc mentioned di- ficulty in getting their pay whenever the bill reaches an excessive amount. Let a reduction in the cost of mourning follow, and the public will not be slow to acknowl- edge the relief.-—-.ZY. Y.

IN THE BARN. 0 Jack are you win the 10ft- '1’ I’m coming up there, too, I’m tired of being a‘lady; 1'(l rather have fun with you. There’s company in the parlor, And mamma whispered to me, “Now do be a lady, Pussy, And see how good you can be.” ' But Jack, it was really dreadful! I couldn't sit still you know, And most likely the company wondered To see me fidgctting so. But I heard you laughing and shouting, And knew you were having fun, And I looked at the clock and wondered How soon her call would be done. ‘ But while they were busy talking, And didn‘t remember me, I just slipped out assoftly ; And here Iam you see. 0, Jack, it is awful jolly N of: to be grown-up folks ;. They never have fun in the hay-loft, Laughing and telling jokes. Theycan't go hunting for hen’s eggs. Or swing on the old barn door, Or climb this steep old ladder, And jump like us to the floor. To sit in a chair is horrid, To sit on a beam is fun, And we don". care if we’re sunburncd, We aren’t afraid of the sun. Just fancy mamma and sister Rolling about in the hay; It makes me laugh—because surely Their “trains” would be in the way. I heard papa call me a “Tom boy ;" I‘d rather be that, I declare, Than to sit for another hour SO still in a parlor chair. Just think of the time I wasted, When I might have been here with you , And it may be another half hour Before her visit is through. I am- sorry for mamma and sister, Long dresses, long manners and all! And, Jack, I’ll be sorrier still, dear, When you and “Pussie” grow tall. -—Youth’s Oompam'oh.

Madame de S is very ambitions in her acquaintances, and finding herself in a rail car, the other day, on her return from the ' country to Paris, she fell into conversation, .with a remarkably well dressed but quiet and reserved man who sat on the seat opposite. After a while she chanced to mention thd: the Countess I-——, was a passenger in the next car, and to her satisfaction she found that the gentleman to whom she had been talking was intimately acquainted with her. Of the Countess’ establishment and circle of friends he told her a great many in- teresting particulars. So pleased was she with the talk on this subject—proving her new acquaintance, she thought, to be a man of decidedly high position in Parisian society .—that she ventured to make what was, even for her, a bold stroke, and asking him for his card. politely requested his company at her next soiree. The train arrived. Madame de S—alighted on the same platform with the Countess. She looked, then, to see the familiar recogni- tion she expected between the lady of rank and her new friend. But what was her sur- prise when the Countess, holding u'fi‘her fin- ger, beckoned unceremoniously to him, and said: “John, see to the baggage.” Her distinguished friend was the Countess’ man-servant. ' Nebraska Horse-pit-ality in a ' Dug-out. A missioner of the American Sunday-School Union in Nebraska writes: “In the neigh- borhood where my last Sunday—school was organized is quite a history. Two years ago I was here exploring the country, and finding only a few settlers here and there, when one of Nebraska's snow storms, a regular north- west ‘blizzard,’ camc up. ' -I was staying in the ‘dug-out' of a good brother, which was about ten feet square. They had two chil- dren. The storm was so severe that we had to bring the horses in with us—and so, the furniture and trunks were packed in a cor- ner, and there were man and wife two child ren, missionary, and two horses, two trunks, stove, and furniture; and thus we remained for two nights, and the‘poor wife cried as if her heart were broken. They, and the horses, too, have better quar- ters now, and also a Sunday-school that all greatly love. I have just had a school start- ed, fifty miles beyond our most western town, three hundred miles west of the Missouri River, composed Of ranchmen and herd-boys; and made up an outfit for a school in the Black Hills mining region. Herders and miners are abundant here, and no limit to our work but lack of means."—C’hurch (fawn.

A boy is a wonderful institution. .He manages to have good times by simply enjoy- ing his own exuberance Of animal spirits. He begins by sitting down in the dirt, and laughing as nsver a full growuman laughed while he makes the mud pie which is the de spair of his nurse and mother. He is a de- lightful bundle Of contradictions, and can ask more and. harder questions in five min- utes than the profoundest philosopher can answer in a lifetime. He performs a surgi~ cal operation on the head of his sister’s doll to discover how the eyes roll, and finds it easier to fake the family clock to pieces than .to put it together again. He cuts open the drum to see what is inside, and does so many thing that you wander a thousand times if he will ever grow to manhood, fully expect- ing every time he goes out that he will be brought back with a broken head or maimed for life in some horrible way. But he lives through it all, and is better for his rough-and- tumble experience. God bless him if he is Only a boy, with his fearful tread, Who cannot be driven, but must be led; Who troubles the neighbors’ dogs and cats, " And tears more clothes and spoils more hats.

Several cases have come _up of late where ecclesiastical societies have voted :1 reduction of the salary of the minister without consul- tation with him, under the mistaken idea that such an act is valid in law whether he consents or not, and is also sufficiently cour- teous. But no court, civil or ecclesiastical, will confirm such a procedure as that, as in; often been found out, and only the other day one of our Congregational councils unani. mously advised a parish that such summary 1 process could not stand.
