ciANBERRY CULTURE IN NEW
JERSEY.
WM. Parry, in a paper read before the
nsylvania Horticultural Society, Sep
: [uher, 1866, representing New Jersey
thus speaks of cranberry culture in
State :
The cultivation of cranberries is now
, zing mush attention, and to one not
sainted with the magnitude of opera
:l3 in this branch, it must appear per
'•y marvellous to witness the stupen
-1 efforts in this branch of agriculture.
Manchester, Brioksburg, Tom's River,
other places, wherever there is a
e of land worthless for other purposes,
• cleared, and cranberry plants set out.
it, :he best data at. our disposal, the
Emblem states We will venture
I. , ertion that there is at least one mil
dollars invested in the culture of °ran
r,(N in the county of Ocean.' - h Mon
and kprlin g ton
,counties the culti
,n of the is still more extended, and
'ulY increasing. .It,',ltediphreys, of
states that 'oranberry culture
q s to have been made a specialty with
owners here, they apparefltly having
d more attention to that thatt - to any
q. kind of fruit culture. Portions of
bog have yielded at the rate 0f.220
••bels per acre.
This, at the price of cranberries last
' would give the modest little sum of
[ JO per acre. Cranberries, both culti
-A and wild, grow in large quantities
every side of us. The amount-of land
thi s county suitable for cranberries, is
--known, but it must be immense.
" Win. R. Braddock of Medford has
4,, ut one hundred aores planted in °ran
:.:tries, twenty of which were in fruit last
ear, and yielded an average_ of one hun
red bushels per acre; irk all, two thou
nd bushels, which brought him, clear of
expenses, $3 per bushel, amounting to
000 from the twenty acres in bearing.
• Theodore and Alfred Budd purchased,
Nears since, a tract of cedar swamp

and since have been offered $6OO per
acre. Last year twenty-eight acres of it
produced 1800 bushels of fruit worth $4
per bushel, amounting to $7200.
" Jos. C. Hinchman, of Medford, has 50
acres nicely graded, turfed and banked for
flooding the plants, most set with Zsranber
ries ; those in bearing last year' produced
about 1500 bushels ; they appear to in
crease in productiveness for seven or eight
years before attaining their greatestlield,
as the first lot of ten acres, planted seven
years since, produced last year 800 bushels,
and from present appearance will yield
1000 bushels this year.,
" The harvesting is usually 'done by
hand, each one picking from three to four
bushels per day, for which they receive
about 45 cents per bushel."
THE MAMMOTH CHEESE.
Canada West can undoubtedly lay, claim
to:the honor Of. having manufictUred the
largest cheese ever seen. One weighing a
little more than - 4000 pounds was exhibited
at different fairs last year, and attracted
much attention ; but this has been`far sur
passed by the great cheese manufactured by
Mr. J. Harris,
,of the Ingersoll Cheese Fac
tory, under the direction of "Father Ran
ney," who began cheese making a quarter
of a century since.
This cheese, as has been before stated by
us, weighs about 7000 pounds, is six feet
eight inches in diameter, and three feet
thick. The milk used was equal to one
milking from 7000 cows, and weighed
70,000 pounds. The first step in the man
ufacture was the erection of a house ex
pressly for the purpose, 16 by 18 feet. The
pressing was done by four screw presses.
The hoop was strengthened by binds of
iron, and was so arranged with levers that
it was readily turned on its a'xis.
In order to get the bandage on the
cheese, the hoop was cut in several pieces.
Forty yards of cloth were required to ban
dage the cheese. It was finallq banded
with a galvanized wire screen,,to keep it in
shape. That the cheese might be safely
transported, it was placed on a car con
etrueted for the purpose. During the en
tire process of manufacture, not a single
accident occurred.
This mammoth cheese was exhibited at
the Provincial Exhibition at Toronto, C.W.,
and at various fairs, everywhere attracting
much attention. It is to be taken to the
Great Exposition, at Paris. We learn that
the intention of the proprietor is to bring
it to the West as fax as Chicago, probably
stopping at the principal points on the rail
road line over which it is taken.

THE MADOC GOLD'REGIONS IN CANADA.
tHE RICHARDSON DIKE
From - the door of the " Anglo-Saxon"
the now famous Richardson mine can be
seen. As that is the great point of inter
est, we walked 'over to it through the fields
before examining any other locality. John
Riohard'son, a• plain, unlettered old fariner,
who-struggled alone as a backwoods pioneer,
and has lived upon the proceeds of his
farm for the last twenty years, is the owner
of lot 18 in the sth concession of Madoc.
The lot is, like all others; a rocky„sterile
plaoe, a portion of which is Cleared, and
the balance, covered with hemlock, beech'
and maple,.and a scrubby sort of under
brush. There is not an acre of level land
on the whole lot. Copper 'having been
discovered on some of the adjoining lots,
and some persons having informed Rich-.
ardson that there were indications.of simi
lar deposits on his land, he determined to
make a test.. Accordingly, some few months
ago he made an opening on a ridge of land;
about four hundred yards long, by one
hundred wide, and about seventy feet high
in the most prominent point. The top of
this ridge is ‘omething the shape of a
camel's back, the smaller one being to the
east, and the larger to the west. At the
apex*of the , smaller cone Richardson com
menced his excavations. He worked away
for two or three months, blasting down
through granite and quartz, until he had
reached the depth of about fourteen feet.
Here he struck a large deposit of brownish
earth,, loosely imbedded in a hole or
"pocket" in the rock, nearly three feet in
diameter. It is estimated that some two or
three oart-loads of dirt had been removed
from the pocket and thrown' away, when a
person, who knew something of gold mining,
happened , to comeupon the men While at
work in the hole, and struck them all dumb
with astonishment by telling them that,
with every shovel of dirt, they werelbrow
lug away dollars worth of gold To prove
his words, he 'took a small quantity of earth
in an ordinary tin pan and washed it in a
neighboring stream, and in the bottom of
the pan was found nearly an ounce of tire
precioui'metal, 'in bright, glittering parti
cles,. which were before invisible. Several
other pans were washed, and , in every in
stance gold was found, not only in paying,
but in extraordinary, quantities. The yield
was really wonderful, as much as three
ounceo being turned out of a 'single pan.
California or Australia never, even at their
richest mines, gave such a yield. What
its valus l is,;may b ¢ e jidgetl froth Die. fact
that if the tests made hold out,lt"tnin could
oth,out 4140Q0 wifrth of gold in one
day, and not work hard. On learning that
heaves the possessor of such a mine of
wealth, Richtirdsot at. onnettopged work,
not well knowufg . how to proceed. The
news of the great discovery spread rapidly,
and many people came to see, for . them
selves, Richardson was very obliging.' He
allowed , all comers to.go downinto the mine
,and see for themselves, and as every one
brought up bandsful and pocketsful of the
earth, in all of which - gold Was-fouhdi NTS'
estimated that several thoisand dollars'
worth of gold was carried away. Among
those-whonlikriosity led to the spot, was a
Roston man named Carr. He examined
and tested the earth, and the result was
that he struck a bargain with Richardson.

him by an old. Australian miner, who tells
s
golq in it: This was fakes to the United
me thavtitv fdttnd at oa,st•s23oo worth of
States by Mr. Carr, for the purpose, he
said, of shOwing it to capitalists there, in
order that he may induce them to invest
their funds in a company he intends form
ing. Before leaving the mines he had a
small house built over it, the entrance to
which is fastened by two padlocks, one put
on by him, and the other by Richardson.
No one can enter the mine not until Carr
returns. If he does not pay the $20;000
to Richardson by the time settled, he loses
his claim, and Richardson will, then work
the mine himself, or sell out to some one
else.He, will have no difficulty in finding
a purchaser. In addition .to that taken
from the earth, a large quantity of gold
was found in the quartz. Some fine speci
mens have been piocured by prospectors
from the quartz thrown out of the hole, by
simply breaking it with a hammer.
GREAT PUBLIC WORKS.
Three great undertakings in widely sepa
rated regions have lately been completed,
that seem to be characteristic of our age
and country. These are the tunnel from
the city of Chicago, two miles out under
the bed of Lake Michigan, to furnish a
supply of pure water to that town; the re
markable suspension bridge at Cincinnati,
over the Ohio river, and • the railroad
bridge over the Susquehanna river, at
Havre de Grace. Each of these cost an
immense sum of money, and was really a
bold and enterprising adventure. The Sus
quehanna bridge has been subjected to the
greatest perils on account of the terrible
freshets that sweep down that stream, and
the extreme difficulty of building piers in
such deep .water. So serious was the un
dertaking felt to be, that for a long time
the powerful railroad corporation owning
the line 'between' Philadelphia and Balti
more, hesitated to undertake it. Even
when begun, it was prosecuted under ex
traordinary difficulties, and • subject to un
common perils and.iheavy losses. But at
last it was finished, and now the broad Sus
quehanna is no longer an obstacle to the
travel between the Noith and South. The
running time between Philadelphia and
Baltimore will now be materially reduced,
and all the dangers of crossing the river
in winter, produced by ice, will be over
come.
The Cincinnati bridge differs from this,
although, like it, a railway bridge, in being
built.from shore to shore in a single span;
in other words, .being
,suspended over the
stream without intermediate supports. Of
course, since the Niagara suspension bridge
was built, people think less of these things ;
than they'used to ; but nevertheless, the,
passage of the Ohio river by such a struc
ture is really an achievement,• and the
reader •may measure . its consequence by
the cost, two. Millions iff dollars. It putg
Cincinnati in direct communication with
the whole railwaysystem of-the south, and
enables that enterprising city to undertake
a more vigorous competition for Southern
trade than ever before.
The present ambition of the Cincinna
tians seems to be to establish direct railway
connection with Charleston, Savannah,
Mobile, New Orleans; and, in fact, all the
chief cities of- the South, so is to make
Cincinnati the western focus of the South
ern trade: The Chicago lake tunnel has
deemed a more hazardous entergtise 'than
either of these, but in reality it *as not so.
The boring was at a sufficient depth to
avoid all risk, and modern sciene3 has en
abled engineers to conduct such under
takings without any of the perils once
thought to be inseparable from them. Still
itis not to be denied that the idea was a
very bold one, and that the city has carried
it out with a promptitude, skill and success
deserving of all credit. It is in such
works as these, rather than in the fancy
work of ornamental architecture, that the
present age of Americans must establish
its renown, for while European critics may
depreciate our art efforts, they are totally
unable to do so in the matter df such struc
tures as these. Hence the Pacific Rail
road, once finished, will be regarded with a
thousand-fold more wonder and interest by
foreign travellers than if we could show
them art efforts ri4alling those of Italy:
Engineering is pre-eminently the national
pride, and we must seek to shine by its
feats.—U. S. Gazette.
GEOLOGICAL REMAINS.
It was recently' announced that Dr. Hay
den had arrived at the Western frontier
with a large amount of fossils of extinct
animals, collected during an eipedition to
the Bad Lands of Dacotah Territory, for
the. Szaithionian Institution and Philadel
phia Academy of Natural Sciences. his
but common justice to state that this expe
dition was fitted out and paid for altogether
by three private gentlemen, members- of
the Philadelphia Academy, and that the
Smithsonian Institution in nowise partici
pated in the responsibility of the enterprise.
Dr. Hayden has, arrived in Philadelphia,
and we had the pleasure, on Saturday last,
of seeing the' fossils he brought with him
at the Academy. In all such scientific
enterprises these institutions' aid each other,
and thus the Smithsonian Institution's Mu-
seum always benefits" by outside undertak
ings, just as the .Philadelphia Academy
receives specimens from the Government
expeditions.
These fossil remits were discovered in
the Bad Lands, not recently, but some time
back, and by mere accident. A fur trader,
named Culbertson, residing at. Chambers
burg, Pennsylvania, was attracted by the
;curious appearance of them, and took some
specimens to his home as matters of inter.:
est to his family, and there they were seen
by scientific men, who at once perceived
their rarity and value. Subsequently the
naturalists accompanying the Government
expeditions to lay out wagon roads brought
home large quantities of those fossils, and
the great interest they excited induced the
fitting out of the recent private expedition
of Dr. Hayden. To the ordinary eye these
specimens, though they, reightlie thought
curious, would not be as wonderful as in
reality they are. They are all remains of
extinct species of animals, and belong to
'an age of the,..world of :such remote anti
quity that no traces of mankind have been
fond in the geological formation. We de
not use the scientific terms, because we can
Orbaps 'better
° explain the matter in plain
way. ' ' •
The rocks in which these remains are
found must evidently have once been the
muddy shores of some immense fresh water
lake, the extent or boundaries of which can
not now be defined; and as these animals
perished, their bones lay undisturbed in the
mud until petrifaction prevented their
final destruction. In one piece of rock‘ can
we plainly see the trail left by some marine
animal in the original mud. In another
specimen we have the skull, with the jaw
wide open, as it evidently lay loose in
decay, when the waves washed up the mud
in the jaw and prevented its closing. There
are also fresh water turtles of all sizes up
to a very large one. These indications
leave no reason to doubt that where these
fossils are found, must have been the lines
of the great lake.
Next we have specimens of the fossil
remains of an extinct species of camel,
showing that, after the upheaval of the
earth had destroyed the lake, the bottom of
the latter was converted into one vast arid
plain, upon which only such animals could
exist as are , found in the desert regions of
the old world. The next specimens are of
extinct species of ruminating animals, from
which it appears that the once arid plains
had become covered with luxuriant grass.
From the number of these latter speci
mens, it is apparent that these ruminating
animals must have multiplied into herds
rivaling those of the
,buffaloes now seen.
Nrhaps the most curious of these are the
remains of several species of the horse,
the smallest being about the size of an or
dinary setter dog, and the largest about
three times that size.
It is next observable that among the
specimens are several species of carnivor
ous animals now extinct, evidently created
by nature to prey upon these immense
herds of ruminants and .prevent their in
crease. Among these we find varieties of
the tiger and the rhinoceros. As both the
tiger and the camel are animals peculiar to
tropical regions, some of .our readers will
think it strange that they'ShOuld' be found
in these high latitudes. But we have also
among the specimens fossil remains of a spe
cies of elephant as well as of the tapir, and
the fossil plants .are all tropiCal., Palm
trees once grew on the shores of that great
lake, and several varieties of the ammonite
sailed their barques upon its waters, Yet
in all this immense wilderness no trace of
man is found, and there nature mat have
rioted in luxuriance without the footfall or
the voice of any being created with intelli
gence above the brutes.— U. S. Gazette.

with a period of - English history involving political
