a A A ti eA NS ESE SSE TRE UY THE EVENING STAR. Dry Walks for Winter. We should be remiss in our duty were we to neglect at this season of the year to repeat our | counsel] as to the great comfort and convenience which dry waiks insure about dwellings, barns | and outhouses generally in winter and early spring. We are pained sometimes tosee tie. utter negligence prevailing upon some premis- es in this respect. lar’s worth ortwo of new boards, nice fiat s'oves, or a liboral supply of coal asLes, would save ten times the cost in shoe-leather, damp feet, colds, doctors’ bills and loss o1 time. Coal aches laid on dry ground to the depth of three or four inches, after removing the mud, make a first-raie walk,and they can be put to no better use. The difference to be seen upon & premises where dry walks are provided where- ever needed, when compared to others where | this moral influenee has no abiding place, is { enough tomake us shiver as well as to cause us to feel for the absence of sovial charities in the fami er SS R BORUITS +» WANTED. i TO FILL THE QUOTA OF THB DISTRICT OF OOLUMBIA. * BOUNTY FOR VETERANS, $432, | $105 of which will be paid in advance, BOUNTY FOR NEW RECRUITS, $332, $105 of which will be paid in advance.
