Fethermao, who many years ago was well known to the people of i tr )tt(. V? u Q3 a medical student, un der Dr. Sydenham Walton, and a grad uate of the Pennsylvania University, son of the late Baiser Feathernian, of IJanail ton, and Rrother of our much respected fellow citizen, Charles Fetherman, of Hamilton, is living in Sauta Cruz, in tbe Providence of Curico, Chili. He left hosts of friends here who will read the subjoined letter to his brother Charles, with great pleasure. The Dr. is doing well and we are Iad to know he inteods again to visit the scenes of his early days, to revive bis rccollectioos of what hap pencd SO to 40 years ago when Abraham, with his happy face, was among us. Provjence of Curico, Santa Cruz, January 31, 1874. Dear Brother : I am at the loss to know wheu I wrote last to you, or you to me but it is certain that it is several ysara eince the last correspondence. I had been expecting to hear from some of you, but I have not heard anything from any of you, since, I believe, wheu Jacob wrote me, which however, must be hard on two years, if not more. The nearest I came having any uotice lrom your place was the other day, in reading the New York Weekly Times, where it is stated, about some man having been lodged in Stroudsburg jail for murder. I have tak en the New Yoik Weekly Times for sev eral years, and for one jear past I have also taken tho Wochenblatt, der N Y. Stoats Zictuny. These two papers cost me 510, that is 5 each, these papers keep cie somewhat posted as to what is going on generally iu the States. As for iustance the imprisonment of Tweed, the g eat thief of New York, the Virgiuius's. Pas-engers, in Cubau Ports, and prospects of settlement with U. S. Government. This would no doubt bo an elegant test to give reasons why Cuba should belong to the U. S. Government. Dut I think our government ha territory enough to get along peaceably with. Our weather is vsry warm now, grain is about all harvested, and the wheat crop is very good, or at any rate it is not a lad crop. Wheat rignt here where I live is worth about one dollar a bushel or GO pounds, a fanega 52,50, which is about two bushel: and a half. They still keep up the old mode of reaping with the Sick !e. A peer histrurnent it is, such as they ti . . use Here, uowever, tney are improvtoir feme, in respect to them. Such a thing as cradling grain is unknown in Chili. Threshers are now quite common, the one they believe in is Pitt's old fashionable Thresher, they use oxcu instead ol horses A few days ayo a priest was threshing with a machine, they had four yt;ke of oxen hitched to tbe machiue, they walked very slowly, and the straw came through with a great deal of wheat in the heads. He sked me if I could tell him where the fault lay, I told him to drive his oxen faster to get up the proper speed, when instantly a great improvement followed. I asked him how much was the most he ever threshed in one day. He said hi machine was not of the Lest, but had threshed two hundred Fancgoes (500 bushels) and he knew one that threshed W) Frauegoes, had made a bet. and the 00 were threshed out by sun. lie thought lie said, I might consider it a big story, but it was true. I did not tell him what a good machine, with plenty of hands sometimes did in the United States for fear of getting an answer I once received from a rich fara:cr here a few years ogo, when he told me he had the best machioe in Chili, that he had threshed 250 fane os iu one day, that is G25 bushel, I told him I had myself helped to thresh double that in one day. He instantly stared tne in the face, turned red, and said, "Em buRtero." All right, I said, some day if I tshould write a history of mysslf I might mention this very circumstance, but cer tainly to the credit of your grand child ren I would carefully suppress your name. in some parts here the black smut iu very hurtful, they will not ue preventives, consequently they reap what they sow. Corn looks well, I ate some the other day. roasted and aluug with water melons and plums, the real old blue kind, such as we used to have at home, between the mill and old dwelling house. Wc have aLoiust now very good pears, certainly it appears strange to see people harvest wheat, eat reen corn, water melons, pears, plums, and finally, grapes beginning to ripen. 'lo see all this I say, and in the midst of great, almost insupportable heat, with long days, aud short nights, the sun in the noith, and all this in January ; is in deed quite contrary to my cxpaiieuce in early hie. To this day, when occasionally uiy mtud lias leisure to travel baek to the days of lfc-O, up to 1810, when you and I were more than once summoned to cut and remove ice from the water wheel of the mill, when the weather was cold, bit ter cold, or to start for Tricebaugh's saw mill to bring boards for the new mill, new house, xc , coming over the cold, bleak, and barren Pocono, oh, those limes, I say to this pay, there comes over me a kind of chill. Then I think of these better days of chills and snow, it eeems to me I would uot now have the proper constitu tiou to pass a winter there, yet I feel an instinctive desire to spend at least some tlx or eight months in cuy native State iu the Centcnni.l year. Certainly nothing uould give more delight to my own feel ings, I may yet make up my mind and go, ' if ny health keep? good. At this present j COUxNTY, PA., APRIL '.- j.j.4j j. wjiKi LXJjijm.nn.taiMU. i time I feel as healthy as I ever did in my 1 1 1 c , not a pain disturb me, 1 sleep us scuud as it is possibla to sleep. I general ly go to bed at eleven, and arise with the sun. I have a good appetite. . I told my cook to day, at 10 o'clock, to make me a cup of tea, to stay my appetite," as Frank Staples used to say. Although I eat very early in the morning, I attribute my good health in a great measure to the abundant exercise I am accustomed to take. Although I have a clerk I arn con stautly occupied. So much so that not unfiequently I am not at leisure to eat my dinner until two and even three in the afternoon. It seems to mo that time passes more rapidly by now than when yoa and I were boys and young men Do you not recollect how slowly and most tediousdy tiajo passed away when withtn four weeks of Easter, when tho rabbit would come from the Blue Mountain in the niht of Easter and bring us figured eggs for being good childreu. In corn planting times we talked of going to the Blue Mountain with our young friends, jr ir Is and boys, to gather hucklebarries But the time was far, far, away, and inauy a week had to pass away 0rt. It was not until I arrived in California that time began to run away so rapidly. -It was perhaps that beautiful ciimate, dif ferent persons to associate with, young, and easy to make a living. It was this I say that perhaps greatly shortened the years and now too, beiu herein Chili, thousands of miles away from all that was near and dearto me, forty years ago. I find a land so interesting to me that aain I havo reason to rejoice, now although hav ing travled that road which leads directly to my grave, and in fact being almost at its, end I find myself comparatively hap py. As for this world's goods I have the means now to live contentedly, my pro fession is far more useful to me than per haps any employment could be. I am very much respected here among these people, perhaps more than I desire. Phy sicians are seldom called on iu the night and this of c )ursi is great a advantage. An other consideration of great value U that there is no credit. All Doctor bill are paid before ha leaves the sick person's house. I have a Drug Store here. I sell uothin on credit. All pay, they never think of asking for credit. But if one does buy on credit in 0 out of 10 times he never pays. The Chilians are a cur ious people, your friends aud not your enemies are to be feared. I never lost much mouey here, but what I did loose, was through my friends. At present thers is no prevailing sick ness, particularly of any kind, every thing is quiet, la li'.ct CniM has got to lar e lightened as to do away with revolutionary ideas aud is now iu a flourishing coudi tion. But I find my paper is filling up I would be ylad n you would write so that I could hear something from you Certainly some changes must have taken place back there that would be interest ing to me, particularly in matters pertain ing to our family. Let me know 1;ow you are getting along. From your brother. A. II. Fetiiermax. Potatoes for Seed. The question, "How small to cit pota toes for seed '(" is not yet settled, and never will be until all soils and seasons shall have but one condition of moisture and one quality of feitility. In localities where the soil and atmos phere are decidedly moist, single eyes and small j)ieces are most suitable, because under such conditions the young plant easily perfects its. growth without de pending upon the moisture contained in the solid part of the potatoe. Ou the other hand, a dry soil and season compels the young plant to derive all its strength from the piece it sprouts from, and u riles that is of large size its growth iuust be both weak and imperfect, resulting in a small crop of immature mots. I think these arc facts, and we must draw the following conclusions from them: TakiBg medium seized pieces for seed, if planted in a poor soil, but having sufii cient moisture, they would produce as large a crop, or larger, tfcan if planted in a very rich but very dry soil If, theu, we can select a rich soil in a moist position, and slightly favored by a moist atmosphere, small pieces are the most suitable and economical. But if we driven to a poor soil, dry and in a dry position, then we must plant large pieces, to give the plant an early start and thu let it become robust before hot dry weather checks its growth, henee giviug it a chance to throw roots deep enough to feed tho vine, develop blos soms, aud perfect the tubers. I think close attcntiou to the condi tions under which the plants are most likely to be Liought by the general course of the seasons, will give to each planter the Lest crops which his peculiar soil aud seasons are capable of producing. Mr. James G. Buflington, Upper Uweh an, Chester county, has a ewe that gave birth to a lamb which possesses only two perfoct legs front ones, the hind ones be ing curtailed at the gamble joints, each ending in a toe. The lamb, which is fiix weeks old, is quite livtly, aud teems to be happy. ' Salt Lake City has a present population- of G,000, and the Territory u tetal population of l5,000.

Lawyer In The New York Times of Friday relates the following: Mr. A B. 31orris is a lawyer, and his place of residence is Watertown, N. Y. He came to this city about ten days ago, on his way to the South, and having some business to transact here, put up at the Park hotel. On the day before yesterday he made an a'rciitcnt with a friend to go to the Union Square theatre to see the play of ' Led Astray," little thinking at the time, as he says, that before seeing the fietiou he would bo most egregiouly led astray himself. But so he was, as the result will show. Mr. Morris had agreed with his friend to meet him at the corner of Broadway and CanaUtreets atG.0o'clock, from whence they were to go to the theatre together. Mr. Morris arrived at the place of meeting rather early, and while waitjng for his friend amused him self by watching the passers by. Presently he was accosted by a young woman, who was very neatly though poorly dressed, and of a most respectable appearace. She began by saying, "Are you ready to go with me now, sir V and then in apparent confusiou Legged hu pardon for speakiug to him. She said she had taken him for a gentleman she had seen in the Dollar Store. She then went on to tell him that she was iu great trouble and distress. "I have a dying mother and a sister in the last stages of consumption," she said "and I am unable to pay the rent cf our room, and the landlord threatens to turn us out this very night if I do not pny." "Here," said Mr. Morris, "she began to cry, aud great tears ran down her checks ; there wa3 on hum bug there, for I saw them." He asked her how much she owed, and she told him "But I don't waut you to give me the money here, sir," she said," I want you to sec for yourself that I am not deceiving you. I never asked for charity before, but when the paoie caiue I was discharged, with several other girls from the Dollar Store, and since theu have been unable to get any work. 1 live only a few blocks away from here, and if you can snare the time. I would like to have you nee my mother and sister, and the condition which we are in " "And. like a fool, said Mr. Morris, "I looked at my wacth, and seeing that I had yet half an hour to spare, I went with her. We went cast from Canal street, aud turned into a side street, and after a while wc came to a house and ascended two cr three steps, aud entsred narrow hallway. There the woica 1 1 l . opened a uoor cn tno n gut ana asked tr.c to walk iu and wait until she could advise her mother that some one was coming to sec her. The room was warm and com fortable ; a Crc wa3 burning in the grate, and at tlie farther end there was a lounge. In front of the fire, and nearer to it than the lounge, was a cottage-bedstead." "You will have to sit ou the bed, sir," said the woman, "as there are no chairs. I will take off uiy shawl and go at once to mother." "I had been warming my hands at the fire," continued Mr. Morris, "and at the woman's suggestion sat down on the bed, about two feet from the foot, the woman standing in frout of we with her shawl in her hands. Hardly had I seated myself when she sprang upon me like a tigress, throwing the shawl over my head At the same moment I felt my feet grasped by some one uuder the ked. I then felt that I had to struirle for my life. I had SilOO in money in my pocket book, a draft for $150, and a S5U0 watch in my vest pocket. I could not see, as uiy head was completely enveloped in the shawl, but I felt a strong pull at my watch chain, and afterward 1 felt a bund in my pocket where my money was I made a tremendous effort, and succeeded in throwing the woman over the foot oi the bed. I theu sprang up and freed my feet rushed to the further eorner of the room. There the woman aain attacked me, but I knocked her down, and then, taking a large pearl handled, silver mounted knife from my pocket, I swore that if anybody attacked me again 1 would put a bullet through him. Tlie darkness of the room no doubt prevented them from seeing that the formidable revolver was only a packet knife, and that was what saved me, I suppose. I theu went to the door, and to my astooithmtnt found it locked, bolted and barred. I drew the bolt and took Lown the bar, but could uot unlock the door, as the key was gone. Finally, I broke o3 the catch of the lock with the bar," and found my self at liberty. I rushed out through the hall into the street, and did not stop until I found a poltcemau. Then a reaction 1 T I . . . t came on, ana 1 leit utterly wens ana prostrate, nud no wonder, for I am firmly persuaded that I had only cscar d death by a incro chance, and besides, the desperate struggle I had iust passed through had weakened me cousiderebly. I afterward weut over the ground with a policeman, but was unable to identity the place, although I did my best to do so. I am sure, though," said he, "it is iu cither Elm or Center street. Being a stranger in the city I had not noticed the locality when I went with the woman, and I was too much agitated to do so ut the time of my escape. After it was all over I examined iny pockets and found that I had hist nothing. My watch was saved from the fact that the rhain was very tstroug, aud was fastened to my vct with a snap. I .hall never uiy humanity j yet tie tetter cf tny fealiogi gai," NO. 48. concluded Mr. Morris," "and if you print my story in the Times I wil! be very much obliged to you if you will scud me a copy of the paper." A Word to Young Farmers. While winter lingers ;n the lap of spring, there a few days left for we far mers of the north and west to look leis urely over our grounds, calculate, plan, and prepare for the busy season. In ono respect tho business of urmiay is4ike oil other trades or professions. Those per sons who enter upon it with the most de termined energy and perseverance, con tinually guided in their course by a habit of close observation of whatever is taking place all around them in the line of their chosen pursuit, will be sure to win suc cess in the end. Another class, who feel as if they were move or less prospered by the doings of some other class, or most do as their neighbors about them do, try ing to follow in their tracks, without tak ing into account the dillcrence in their circumstances, will be almost ure in the end to fall behind the bright anticipations they hud formed fur the future. Every man in the end usually makes or mars his own fortune. If a person would be a suc cessful farmer he must be self relimt. It will not do to ask a prosperous neighbor, jirit at the commencement of the busy season, "Do you think I had better plant that lot with corn aaiu. as tho last season w:s so dry, I hud uo benefit of the sod ? or would you sow with oats and peas as I had intended, preparatory to a wheat crop and re-s ceding ? D.nt you think I had better try corn ar-in under lhe eirc jcrstances ?" Nine times oat of ten the answer will be : "Well, yes, per haps so." The man you ask hus no time to spare; it is your business, not his. You Uiight have drawn him out, and ob tained his ideas and experience during some one of the long winter evenings that hairs passed, but this is not the time or place. As a ruh have a ood rotation, and stick to it; but there are exceptions t all rules, and the man the most interested should be the best judge. Coniform to circumstances, but be self reliant, and act as your best judgment dictates. In all matters relating to expenditures, either for the family or the farm, this trait of character should be well cultivated or developed. I think a gfeuter portion of our young enterprising farmers fail here than of those who comprised that class thirty and forty years ago. To use the old adage. "Don't be afraid to cut your garcjent according to the cloth." If your neighbor, who i. twenty years older than you and worth 320,000, rides in his carriage and his horses o past ycur door in tilver plated harness, it is no reason that you, who are worth but 55.000 and perhaps one $2 000 or more for the farm upon which you live, should ride in the same style as he. Nobody, excepting a very small class of the most hallow minds, will think any the better of you if you do so. Tlie larger au 1 by far the better part of the community among whom you livo will-respect you all the more for riding in your best lauit-er wa gon, and waitiug a few years until your dcbt3 are paid, and with the money in hand you can pay for a carriage as good as that used by your wealthiest neighbor. Mr. Editor, I might eu'arge upon this idea of self reliance. It really has more to do with successful farming than almost any other one thin. None Without Fault. All men's faults are not wiitten en their foreheads, and it's quite n well they are uot, or heads would need very wide brims : yet as sure a cis are e"s. Or faults of some sort nestle in every mau's bosom. There is no telling when a man's sins may show themselves, fur hares pop outcifthe ditch ju-t when you are not looking for them. A horse that is weak in the legs may not stumble lor a mile or two, but it is iu him and the driver had better hold him up well. The tabby cat is not lapping milk just now, but leave the dairy door open, and we will see if she is as bad a thief as the kitten. There's fire in the flint, as cool as it louks ; wait till lhe steel gets a knock at it, auJ you will see- Everybody can read the puzzle, but it is not everybody that will remem ber to keep his gunyowder out of the way of the candle.
