Amusing and Instructive.
Peuipatexic Houses is Amebica.—Wooden houses, properly built, are warm, weather proof, and durable, besides having the advantages of a rapidity of construction and facility of removal. This latter recommendation was one of more practical use a few years ago than now, when, especially in the eastern States, it was no unusual thing to meet a 3 or 3 storey building on rollers, with 10 or 12 yoke of oxen aud a small army of men, creaking along through the wide country roads, in quest of a more eligible situation than the last; the smoke from the cooking-stove tranquilly curling up to the sky, and the savoury smell of “ buckwheats ” showing that the good lady of the : house took her flitting very calmly, and was not to be disturbed in her household employment®. •—Puildor.
