Set new beds now. Do not plant beans until all danger from frost is over ; then plant in rows three feet apart Liraas started on pods under glass may be set out when cool nights are over; and when the ground lie comes dry and warm seeds may he jut iu. In raising heets, thin oat the early plantings and keep can-fully hoed ; the thinnings make greens, pi el erred by many to spinach. Tlaut for a succes sion. Cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, etc., all need the same general treatmeut when young. Sot out early plants fnim the hot-lnsl or frame, and keep well lured. Sow for late crops iu the ojh'u ground. In raising carrots, sow ths ro*iu eroj> when the soil is warm, and keen clean from the start, or the weeds will soon exceed the carrots iu size, and the crop be injured. Sow celery oeeds, if not already done, in open ground. Plant corn as swn as all danger of frost is over iu drills three and a half to four feet apart. Plant every week or ten days for a succession. Cucumber plants started on pieces of sod moy be set in the open ground and covered at night with franio or w n a paper to prevent their becoming chilled. Sow in open ground as sooti as warm, and dust the plants when up with plaster or ashes to prevent the " bugs" from working ou them. Do not set out egg-plants until cool nights are over and the ground becomes thoroughly warmed ; then set in rich soil two feet apart each way. Keep the soil around early-set lettucj plants loose and free from weeds. Set ont new beds and sow seed for a later crop. Melons require the same treatment as cucumbers. When growing well, give liquid manure one* or twice a week. Onions should have been sown last month to insure a good crop. Weed as Boon as up and keen the soil stirred often. Ashes worked in between the rows, and worked in with a hoc, and a dressing of salt, are beneficial. Soak parsley seed in warm water and aow in own ground, patting down the earth well. Finish planting potatoes for general crop, and hoe the early aorta as soon as np. Jnst before the potatoes appear a IKI re ground, draw a harrow oTer the rows ; this will destroy numerous weeds. Sow radish seed every week for a sueoessic n, and keep clear of weeds,— Agricultural. Orilltns WhMt. The Hon. J. K. Dodge, Statistician of the Department of Agriculture, has concluded an investigation of the ex tent and advantages of the use of the drill in seeding wheat. It appears that forty per cent, of the entire area is drilled in, fifty-two per cent of the winter wheat, and but three-tenths of the spring wheat exclusive of that of California. A line from Chicago to Leavenworth prolonged to the facific, practically divides the production of spring from winter wheat. North-west of it scarcely ten per cent, of winter wheat is grown, except iu California. South east of it only four p*r cent, of the wheat is spring sown. Half of the area of winter wheat is seeded with the drill in New York ; fifty-five per cent in New Jersey ; seven-tenths in Penn sylvania ; three-fourths in Delaware and Maryland; three-eighths in Vir ginia ; from North Carolina to Tennes see an average of less than three per cent; West Virginia, four-tenths; Ohio, six-tenths ; Michigan, one-half ; Illinois, three fourths ; Indiana, one half ; Missouri, three-eighths ; Kansas, forty-five per cent. In seeding spring wheat the broadcast seeder is most used in the North-west The drill is em ployed for three-eighths of the area in Wisconsin and Minnesota ; one-fifth in lowa ; one-fourteenth in Nebraska, and elsewhere scarcely at ail. The returns indicate that the use of the drill saves one-sixth of the seed, and increases the aggregate profit of winter wheat ten per cent. titrated Trees. The Ploughman furnishes the follow ing remedy for trees which has had the bark gnawed off during the winter by mice and rabbits : We have generally found it about as well in the end to let the trees go, or replace them with others. The damage can be repaired generally with success by taking a small chisel, half inch, and making openings above and below the girdled mark and fitting in short pieces of round wood sharpened at both ends to fit into the chisel holes or cuts. In making the lower cuts hold the chisel nearly upright or only slightly inclined outwards from the tree, and for the up per point* pat the point upwards iu a corresponding direction. Bend the sharpened shoots outwards in the mid dle till the points will enter the chisel cuts, into which they are to be firmly crowded in with the hand till the pieces are brought nearly straight. Four or five pieces will generally be enough, if there are many trees, bat with only a few, a larger number will be more sura of effecting the purpose, and they may be so numerous as almost to touch each other, when they will cure the difficulty in a year or two. The ends may be covered with grafting WRX, or a heap of earth thrown np around the trunk. It is not necessary to do it very early in spring, and now is as good a time as any to do it. Gnawed Tree*. "0. K.," Ann Arbor, Mich., says to save trees that have been injured by mice and rabbits : • Take fresh cow droppings and clay, mix to a stiff batter, apply to the injured part about one half inch thick or more, tie a rag around it to keep it from dropping off, and be sure to cover the whole from bark to bark, so that the air won't get in. If done rightly yonr trees will not die. I bad some pear-trees gnawed all around by rabbits, and under the treat ment, used as stated, they all bore fruit, and one bore a full crop, the same year! All of them now appear as well as they were before they were injured. Some of my neighbors used the remedy, and were also successful." Hay Sllte*. Some time ago a number of horses died in Nordheim, Germany, from in flammation of the intestines, the true cause not at first being known. At last it was assigned te the hay, in which, upon close examination, an immense number of microscopic animalculm were found. They belonged to the genus acarus foeuarins, to which genus mites living on dry fruit and in cheese also belong. In times of horse diseases it might, therefore, be proper to micro scopically examine hay and straw, since even the best fodder, if stored in a damp place, is very likely to be infested by those and other parasites. A CONTESTED WlLD. —Quite a sensa tion has been created in Oshkosh, Wis consin, by the finding of a will by the late W. Durand, a wealthy citizen of that place. The document was found by the workmen while repairing the house. It divines the extensive prop erty of Mr. Durand equally between hiß son, nineteen years old, and Mina How ard, of New York city, his niece, on condition that the son marry the niece before his majority. They both declare that they will contest the will. Mrs. Howard, the mother of Mina, was a for mer sweetheart of Mr. Durand. Paris eats nearly 5,000 horses every year.

Miml Your KnglLb. In common talk we use a great many grammatio vulgarisms which could as well be avoided as not, and the error of which should always be pointed out to the young men who are forming their language. The MtfAttdUi sen sibly says : Children should learn to speak correctly while they are children, for it will be hard to correct wrong habits when they become older. Many persons who have a smattering of French and even of Latin, too, are known to make bad blunders in their English, because they never learned to correct themselves when they were yonng. The other day a little girl asked, " Will you go to-morrer ?" The answer was, " I dnnno." How much letter to pronounce the words oomvtly, and say tomorrow and don't know! Never say seeh fine apples, but su-h fine apples. Jt a* /ire is another im proper expression. You Bhould say, iu-t a.t litj. And do not say, I aint. There is no such word as aint in the English language. You should say, I'm not, or if isn't. I beard a boy say, " I never saw sech jiggers." That was very bad pro nunciation. Another said, " I can holler louder than you but a bright little fellow replied, " I don't think I can holler at all, though I can hot!-) so as to be beard a quarter of a mile." Now. childreu, try hard to speak properly, and never n*e sn h word* as these : To-morrer, Dun no, Sech, Aint, Holler, Figgers. There is one mistake that almost everybody makes in saying "He don't." It is well enough to say " I don't," or " they don't," but in the third person singular you should say "he doesn't." A Singular Sulfide. Bertha Daniels, twenty-two years of age, of Philadelphia, a local paper of a late date says, committed suicide by eating the sulphur off the heads of matches. Bertha seems to have been prompted to this desperate act from a feeling of jealousy and blighted affec tions. She was engaged at the occupa tion of umbrella making, and was a girl of good character and habits. One day last week she saw the young man to whom she was betrothed in company with another girl, and, while suffering from a galling sense of mortification, resolved to put an end to her exiitence. On Friday and Saturday she complain ed of being unwell, and a physician was called. Upon searching litr room a box of sulphur matches was foi n 1 se creted. The heads of these matches she had evidently been sucking during the two preceding days, which occa sioned the alarming svmptoms which she exhibited. A close watch was henceforth kept on her movements, but despite the utmost vigilance of Bertha's parents, she succeeded in procuriug more matches, and persisted in the des perate determination to put au end to her life. On last evening she exhibited symptoms of faintness, and was put to bed. Shortly afterward her limbs wore drawn np in convulsions, and she ap peared to suffer considerable pain. A Strange Turnout. Another celebrity here at present, says a Washington correspondent, is Mr. Gary of Buffalo, a man of immense wealth and sense. Several years ago taking his family abroad, he resolved to make the tour of the Continent iu his own carriage. He had constructed in London a coach like a barouche, with the back thrown back and tho front closed. On this front aro two rows of seats, and at the back a place for three persons ; inside four people have an abundance of room. This is drawn by four of the most magnificent liors< s ever seen, and generally driven by Mr. Gary himself. The carriage was pro nounced by tho maker the finest equip age as to material and construction ever sent from his shop. In this the family traveled over Europe, taking several years for it. Coming here some weeks ago, en rovte from the South, Mr. Gary was so much pleased with the streets aud the city generally that he tele graphed for wife, childn n, carriage, servants, and horses to be brought on, and they are all at the Arlington. Every fine evening he is on the princi pal streets with twelve, fifteen, or eighteen people filling the carriage, and he secures for the upper seats alwuys very pretty girls. • Soldiers' Bounties, The United States House Military Committee authorized Mr. Gunckle to report a bill to equalize soldiers' bonu tit s. The bill has been long and care fully considered, the Committee having taken testimony of the Paymaster- General, Controller, Second Auditor and others. It provides for the pay ment of $8.33 per month for all the time of service, deducting bounties already paid. In case the bounty amounts to SIOO or over, the soldier may, at his option, take a warrant for 160 acres of land, for which he may, without residence or settlement, obtain a patent. It also provides that widows or minor children of those who enlisted for a period of less than one year, and were killed or died in the service, shall receive SIOO bounty. This class has never been provided for before. A CAPTION' TO Till) t IU.OI 1,01 S. I.vl litiMrrtri *itl Citfl Alowc. Thu vgnumrort of tho pift ismflortu of the Public Library of Kentucky have announced their tlnal scheme, more co lossal, by the way, than anv of their preceding schemes, contemplating the distribution of no less than $1,500,000 in cash prises, contingent, however, ou the payment of exactly twice that ira ja-rial sum by the ticket buyers. The scheme, says the New York World, is rather da,'.thug at the first glance, but a second glance, if a sober one, reveals the dazzle as a will-o'-the wisp. There are lOO.OtM tickets aud 'itllklO jriea, giving of course to the bidder of a ticket one chance for a prize to live chances against it, as the mana gers do not omit to poiut out; but SIO,OOO of the prizes, be it observed, are SSO each, the exact price of each ticket, ao that thev are |>rizes m name merely, leaving only I,l*oo real pntea of which 500 again are barely slooeach, leaving at least but 500 jiriaes worthy of the name, for one of which ttttniut half of them are only SSOO each) the holder of a ticket has a single chance against '2OO. It i probable, however, thai not more than half the tickets will lie sold, in which cveut, supposing a full half to be sold, thechaucea iu favor of the ticket-holder, according t the engagement of the mauagers, will be doubled and the prizes halved, giving turn one chance against ltkl for half a substantial prise, instead of one against 200 fitr the whole. This is what the scheme amounts to. Now, a mau who should invest his money iu a business in which he knew the chances of failure w ere 2tk) to 1 and the chances of losing the stake besides were 5 to 1, aud in which success, if won against these odds, would tie alu-nt as likely alter all to multiply the stake by teu us by auy number more or less greater, would be thought crtuty ; yet such is the probability of failure and such the value of success iu this scheme. We have thus analysed it for the beuetit of the suupletutuded, who are entitled to so much at our hands. The scheme is delusive, owing to the immense preponderance of uotninal prizes, nineteen-twentieths of ali the prtzts, as we have shewn, not being in tact prizes at all, having each no great er value thou the price of a ticket, with the clear prospect of being scaled down to half that sum. The ratio of cliaueas (d to 5) presented by the scheme is de rived mainly from these shadowy prizes, without which the ratio is I U> lUU, and throwing aside the 500 trump ery prizes of SIOO each is 1 to -• M. The delusiveness of the scheme is measured by the difference between the nominal ratio of 1 to 5, which tigures iu the an nouncement, ami these latter ratios, which are the true ours. As an invest ment, every lottery is a delusion ; but the Louisville lottery, even as a lottery, is a delusion. It is a delusion of de lusions. Old Tobias. That was what the schoolboys called him when he walked by them. He was white-haired and a prematurely old mau, with a bent and stooping figure, trembling and shattered nerves, a stum bling gait, a pale, sallww complexion, dim, expressionless eyes, and a fiery reel nose. llum, gin, whisky, and brandy had done their work, had ruined him iu mind, in body, aud in soul, Imd clothed him in the filthy rags he wore, had made him a social outcast ami a burden upon the community. He lived a wretched and lonely life in a miserable hovel ::i the outskirts of the village. lie obtained a precarious living by stealing, and saving wood for some of the villagers, who employed him out of pity for ins miserable condi tion. He obtained his liquor in pay ment for various meni.d service* at the village tavern, and thus lingered along vear after year. His figure grew more beut, his steps more unsteady, his head whiter, aiul hi* nose r< dder, until he seemed likely to become a permanent charge itpou the town. The boys hooted at him, ridiculed his red nose, and laughed at his display of temper. Nobody had auy respect for old Tobias. Boys, you will find Okl Tobias in nearly every town, or somebody very much like him ; and there are plenty of intelligent and prepoe*aing young men who are fast acquiring intemperate and vicious habits tfiat wi.l make them like Old Tobias, unless they break 'hem oil before they obtain dominion over them. Remember that you are now layiug the foundations of your future characters, and that your success and happiness will depend upon your pres ent acts and endeavors. Iron Trade in England. The report* in the English journals show that the British iron traile is suf fering severely from foreign competi tion, aiul that it is probable that the advantage of the increased ini|>rts to us, necessitated by tho difficulties in our domestic productions, will be se cured by continental manufacturers to s much greater extent than by those of England. The Irwmrmyer affirms that iron making in Great Britain is not only profitless but atteuded with loss. A ton of rails made in South Wales and delivered actually costs §70.25, while at the preseut time they are sold at from sls to §17.50 per ton. The slackness of orders necessitates taking them at almost any prico to keep the works going. It is also stated that never before has Belgian competition proved so severe. Bar iron from that e->untry is offered in England at §*i2.so per ton, which Eng lish masters could not furnish at less than $*32.50. Iron, while admitting the state of affairs to bo bad, predicted some time siuce renewed activity, owing to the falling prices of fuel ; but in the latest issues received, tho trade sum mary of that journal says that business is in a state of suspense, and will prob ably remain so until the prices of fnel and the wages question are again settled. Keep the Birthdays. Keep tho birthdays religiously. They belong exclusively to, and are treasured among, the sweet memories of home. Do not let anything prevent some token, be it ever so light, to show that it is remembered. Birthdays are great events to children. For one day they feel that they are heroes. The special pudding is made expressly for them ; a new jacket, or troweers with pickets, or the first pair of boots are donned ; and big brothers and sisters sink into iusigniticance beside " little Charlie," who is "six to-day," and is soon "going to bo a man." Fathers who have half a dozen little ones to care for, are apt to neglect birthdays, they come too often—sometimes when they are busy and sometimes when they " aro nervous but if they only knew how such souvenirs are cherished by their pet Fanny or Harry, years after wards, when, away from the hearth stone, they have none to remind them that they have added one more year to the perbap* weary round of life, or to wish them, in tho old fashioned phrase, " many happy returns of their birth day," they would never permit any cause to step between them and a parent's privilege. Iler Picture, A Fittsbnrgh firm, dealing largely in photograph cards and stereoscope pictures, received a letter from a cus tomer in an ad joining county last week, in which was the following singular re quest : " Mr. , living here, wants a picture of his wife. Hhe has been dead 44 years, was a medium sized wo man, light, sandy complexion, hair a little on the dark, sandy order, blue eyes, weight 140 pounds, red cheeks, and 30 years old when she died. In closed find fifty cents for tho picture." This bona fide request was complied with. A picture was selected from the large assortment in stock as near the description as possible, and forwarded on. Singularly enough, it proved en tirely satisfactory, the simple minded writer expressing much surprise at the marvelous inventions of the present time, and especially was lie astonished at the marvelous things they could do in Pittsburgh, TIII: AFFLICTED KFUIO.N.

All such thing* were before tho days of simple agriculture, in the period when the tiller of the soil was a force in the execution of the purpose of natural selection. A* be worked he kept his rifle by hi aide to use it in the ju dicious reduction of his enemies. Afterward came the bucolic period of life in Hampshire county. Manufac turing wa* unthought of and the wa ter* were fr e to do as they chose. Tins period continued until about 1830, and iu the meantime Hampshire county was made by man and nature one of the most beautiful regions in our country. The stretch of country about North ampton—which wa* originally called Nonotnck—from South Hadley Falls to Hatfield and ten miles west of tho Con necticut river—in all uiueiy square miles—was bought from tho aborigines for 100 fathoms of wampum and ten coat*. That became the choicest spot in all New England. It wa* made iuto magnificent farms parts of which were annually enriched by the overflow of the Connecticut river. Afterward manufacturing was given an impetus, and it became necessary to make the waters a servant and conse quently a lurking enemy. First, sev eral foundries were established at Wil liamsburg, the township in which the greatest harm was caused by the flood, and then manufactories of woolen goods were erected at that village proper and at points along the Mill river toward Northampton. About 1830 silk raising and spinning wi re introduced into the vicinitv. • As the manufactories in creased the necessity for water power as their continual motive became urgent. Mill river was an undecided, happy-go lucky kind of stream, whose waters sometimes overran its banks, and more frequently subsided into a mere rill. Manufacturers could not abide by such a stream with profit if they made no effort for its reformation. So, as their numbers and capital increased, the own ers of mills at the different manufac turing villages that had sprung up along the rivers joined together and dammed the tipper part of the stream so that its waters should run with regularity au 1 without waste. This article was liegun with a refer ence to the realistic description of a similar flood, written by Churlea Heade. The flood that was meant by the novel ist was the one that occurred at ,Shef field, England, on March I I, 1864, when, the Jlrudfield Water Reservoir burst and sent its waters to carry death and disaster throughout the. neighborhood of the great manufacturing city, Shef field, and the country for fourteen or fifteen miles about it was then flooded. Hundreds of huildingH and much prop erty were destroyed, as well us the lives of about 250 persons. The parallel be tween that disaster and the present ia exact, except in the amount of property and the uumber of lives destroyed. In this country, at Denver, Colorado, on May 19,1861, there also oocmred a flood which in suddenness was alike the other two mentioned. Cherry Creek, a stream whoso chuunel runs alongside Denver, had been completely dried up at that place and above it for more than five years. Suddenly, at midnight, on the date mentioned, a mountain torrent filled and overflowed the ehannel of the creek.

Curiosities of Ree*. Simu of the eld In-liefs resixscting IK-I S are curioua. Their hatn-d to an echo, mhicli w.is an ancient article of the bee-master's faith, dc* - not s< < m to be confirmed on investigation. Much modern f -Ik lore on lu-e* maybe picked up by any one who converses with the pe.isontrv in almoat any part of F.ug land. From some reason or other, l cs are 1 Hiked njHiu a* peculiarly " uu cannv "en attires. Thus we were told in Line dnsliire that be< - would desert a hive on the occasion of a death in the family, unless some one knocked at their nive and tuld the m of it. The same auper*titiou we find to prevail in Ilsscx, and even Cornwall. Similarly the belief that after a death hives ought to IK' wrapped in crape or mourning of some kind is current in Lincoln-hire andKast Anghagi ucrally. It i even found in Lithuania, and is probably connected with an ancient idea that honev w.s a symbol of death. In Yorkshire tliere is a custom of invi ting bees to the funeral. If n wild or humble bee enter n Northamptonehire cottage, it in deemed a certain sign of death ; if a swarm of bees alight on a dead tree, or the dead branch of a liv ing one, tin-re will be a death in the family within the year. It is curious why the bee should in Europe be so connected with death, whereas in Hin doo mythology the bow-striug of Kama (the Hindoo Cupid) i* formed of bees, perhaps as a symbol of love strong a death. It is worth while mentioning one or two more bee superstitions. They will never thrive, it is said, in a quarrelsome family, nor whan they h ivo keen stolen. There ran be no greater piece of ill-luck than to pur chaw a a warm ; it nnut always be given, and the then custom is to return some thing for it in kind a small pipe, say, or some other equivalent. Money should be avoided in the transaction as much as possible. In Hampshire it is a om --mon saying that bees are idle or unfor tunate in their work whenever there are war*. At tho risk of being esteemed credulous, we may remark that the martial year (INTO) wa* an unlucky honey year. East wind* and drought seemed in that year to hare repressed the secretion of lioney in the nectaries of May flower*. A Cruel School Teacher, A brutal rr.nn who-holds the place of | sub-master in one of the public schools j of Boston, threw a little dog out of one ] of the school room windows the other ; day. The distance to the ground being j forty feet, tho poor little animal wa* j frightfully mangled, and had to be killed to be put out of pain. Referring to Ihe net, the Boston Trnrrtlcr say* : "Wo presume tho wretch was dis charged from the post he disgraced, and if he was not,we advise the parents of all children who attend tho school j in which he is employed n< t to allow i them to attend it longer, for the life rf ! no child can bo considered safe for one ! moment when that child is in the room with roch a creature. If he threw the dog out of the window from heat of temper, why should not the same heat of temper lead him some day to throw a pupil—a little pet girl, say—out of window to be crushed on stones? If ho acted deliberately, then ho is n fiend, mid is no more fit to be a teacher of children than i* Master Jcsso Pome rojr. Children aro prone to cruelty from thoughtlessness and ignorance, and they are not likely to learn to bo kind and forbearing from tho example .if a sell vol master whom they have seen engaged iu tho act of throwing a little dog from a fourth story window." Fating and Drinking. Now they are beginning to discuss whether food or drmk is most onsen j tial to tha human system. From Oet- I tysburg there comes the story of a man who has already lived fifty-eight days without food, sustaining life by drink ing small quantities of cold water. On | the other hand, there ir an equally eccentric gentleman in Water b#ry Centre, Vermont, who, tlvo years ago, boon me impressed with the idea that nature did not require so much liquid toqueuch thirst as is usually supposed. The result lui* been thut the (ir*t year thereafter he went thirty-eight days without taking any liquids into his system, the second year 70 days, the . third 130, tha fourth 170, and uji to Thursday of last week ho had gone 52518 day* in the fifth year without drinking , anything whatsoever. Some people have softening of the brtiiu, but the world suffers more from those who have hardening of the heart. \I.I I 111 I'M 1T:l> MTATKN C'OAtiltflSy. IN TIIK HI'NATK. riia RTRJUEA MM.
