This was so mem aud con temptible that it shows tho perpetrators would commit a k -eater crime if they only had the op portunity, and for the honor of tho community the citizens of Ilalsey ought to ferret out those villains and bring them to justice. Niel has, by this villainous conduct of those unknown per sons, lost the only chance be bad. of paying for a lawyer, and nearly destroys bis chances for a fair aud impartial trial. Such transac tions at this area disgrace to the community in which they occur, and the law-abiding cit iz ns of Halsey are justly indignant over this outrage. Albany Democrat. Wa Hunviir.

A good wagon costs a considerable; sum, aud it should bo taken proper care uf aud made to last as long as possible. Few persons under stand the importance of t-iorouglily lubricating the axles, etc., of wagons and carriages, and still fewer know which aro tho most suitable lubricators to uso, and the proper way or ap plying thara. A woll-iuade wheel will eudtue ordinary wear from ten to twenty-five years, if care is taken to use the right amount of tho proper lubricati.,1-; but if this matter is not at tended to a wheel will be nsed up in five or tix years. Lard should never be used on a wagon, for It will penetrate tbo huh and work itself out arouud the le-Dotis of the spokes and spoil the wheel. Tallow is tbo best lubricator for wooden axlelrees. and castor oil for iron. When oiling an axlutreo tho spiudlo should be wiped eleau with a cloth wet willf spirits of turpentine, aud then apply a few drops of castor oil near the . shoulder aud end. When greasing an axletree just enough grease should lie applied to givo a U;ht coating; morn does more harm than ges d by working nut and dam in;; the hub. MISCKLLANKOU8.
