The Captain was the proprietor of a wootlcn leg, with which lie diltlv punched the vines into their placet) and made them stay thero. The result wan that the pioneer of cranber ry 111111111) in this Stale (New .Tertiey), all in due time, became a man of means, and he ha refused 11,5110 an acre for his bogs. 1 met the Captain a fovr days ago, swinging along on hie) wood en leg, as rosy-ebeeketl ar.d vigorotis lookiug as a school-boy just let out for a holiday. Ilo is popuhtrlv known as the "Cranberry King." The tirst at tempt to cultivate this fruit was mado by Capt. Ucni y Hall, of Dennis, Mttsn., on Capo Ctxl, in the year 1812, and the vines from which tho first crop was gathered hare homo a good crep ever since, and will afford a lair yield this autumn. The cranberry -growing district of New, Jersey Includes parts of the counties of Ocean, Hnrlingtnn and Atlantic, although some small por tions of Monmouth, Middlesex, Cam den, Cape May, and perhaps one or two other counties, are adapted to the cultivation of the Iruit, Tho greater portion is located in what is known as tho "Pines," wherein also lie tho char coal regions, a tract containing about 1,20(,0U0 acres. Just now. tho cran berry pickers are as busily at work as the musijiiiltHjs are at work at them. Jn walking over tho bogs tho ripo crimson berries are so numerous that they con stantly mash and nop beneath your leet, while tho still more numerous mosquitoes pop away at your face, bonds and neck. I passed over a bog of 100 acres in llurlington county where the pickers wore as busy as lices. There have been 400 men, Key men and children at work at the same time on this singlo hog. Each nick from two to five bushels a dttv, for which they aro paid 50 cents a bushel. Tho men nverugo about four days a week, and generally get drunk tho rest, although of course they make a better showing in some soetions. After tho vines have been pretty thoroughly gone over, tho water is let in, alio bushels of berries rise to the surface and float down to tho gates, where they aro ruked out. Tho cranberry, like all cultivated fruit, is developing numerous varieties, the principnl of wliicb. are the bell, of a deep moiled crimson and somewhat pear-shaped j tho white, which ripens tho earliest and rots the soonest, and tho common round borry, which is the least liable to rot, and will koep longer than the other two together. 'Hie fruit, like all others, has its enemies, the most destructive of which is that popularly known as the scald or rot, though some separate these two blights.

The cultivator suivcys the spread-out mass of rottenness, pulls bis but over bis eyes, jams uis nanus into his Dockets, and irocs home to fig ure how he can economise enough to trv some now oxnerimonls noxt year. This scald business haa kept up so long that it is becoming monotonous, and not the Icutt remarkable peculiarity is thu fact that no living mortal has buen able to find out a preventive for tho plague. Every imaginable experiment was made ; water litis oeen lev on aim oil sooner and later than usual ; all sons ot fertilisers were tried, and many and many a time It was bclievetl that the remodv had been found. Finally, I'rnfessor 't ay lor, tlte unueu mates Microscopist of the Agricultural De partment at Washington, was called 111 and ho visited the Cogs here and at Cate Cod, and swnt weeks in probing litr tho cause. Uis thorough investiga tions showed that tho mot of tho evil lay in the root of tho fruit, or rather in the ground, which, in all cases of the rot, wan lound lo be sour, causing fer mentation amMecay in the berry. This was established beyond a doubt, and the annaruntlv aimnlu problem re mained ot determining how the soil should be sweetened. Tbe I'rulvssor recommended lime, sand ami various furtihxun. and never did the cranberry season open Uton a mora bopelul set of men than w ere the irrowcis a low months ago.; Professor Taylor came down in this county U hear the results of following bis advice. Then was something amusing lo occupying the poslUOO 01 epexnavur inn mnarr, Old Captain Webb, the "Cranberry King," stumped in and sut near the door, anil was made an honorary member of the Cranborry Growers' Association before ho could fairly comprehend what was going on. Lime had been used more than ever before, and tho rot among tho cranberries this autumn is greater than ever was known. One grower recommended snnd, and bis neighbor at bis elbow announced that it wasn't worth a con tinental; anothor gentlemen bad tried plaster of Paris, and not a berry was tainted ; -a rod-faced cultivator tried the sum thing and declared his crap wasn't worth gathering. The most famous grower in the Association in formed the audience that somebody hail recommended jialt, and he bad Btakod out a portion of his bog and sowed it with that savory fertilizer. .Some time ago he went out to see how the vines liked it, and he'd be banged if thero was a vino left. They had been completely cleaned out by the suit, and ho regretted very much that ho couldn't romombcr tho name of the gentleman who advised him to mako that experiment. Auother enthusiast solemnly asserted that ho had sat up with and nursed a small bog for seven or eight years, and he bad not as yet gathered a sound berry from it. lie is still at it, and, as ho has children growing up, thero Is no telling how much longer the bog will stand it Now Jersey raises one-half the cran berries in tlte country. Tho area an. tier cultivation is about 6.000 acres. The crop lor 1873 was some 125,000 bushels ; for 1874, 90,000 bushels, and this year the yield is estimated at tun or twenty thousand bushels less. This steady deereaso in tho face of tho in crease of area is duo to tbo devastation of the rot and scald, which is still un controllnblo, and is likely to continue to rage until, liko tbo potato blight, it shall have run its course and ex hausted itself. SATVRAL OAS. ITS UTILIZATION FOR MANL'FACTt'RINU PL'RPOSKH A.I IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN THE PRODUCTION OF IRON THE GREAT BUTLER "SPOCTER." From an elaborate article on "Natu ral (ins,'' published in tho Pittsburgh Evening Tdcgrap A, of October 20th, we gather tho lollowing which will doubt less provo interesting to many of our renders. Iie'crritig lo the enterprise of tirutr. Bennett & Company, and Spang, Cltnlfant it Company, in eou ducting the gas from nxonhiirg, llut ler county, to their works at Sharps burg, Allegheny county, and utilising it lor manufacturing purposes, the writer says that it will provo that "the discovery of petroleum has bocn to Pennsylvania, and the wholo country, a mine of untold wealth," and that the introduction of "natural gas, which lies in inexhaustible quantities in na ture's mighty reservoirs throughout the suction of Western Pennsylvania, known as tho great oil-belt country," will work a revolution in manutactur ing enterprise, especially in the great "industrial center (Pittsburgh), with its hundreds of rolling mills and work shops." Although natural gtia wells have bosii burning in various place in the oil country for tbe past two years, it was not until a few months ago that capitalists could be induced to put money id the doubtful experiment of conveying the gas any distance lor fuel purposes, for tho obvious reason that they did not know but that the flow would cease about tlte time the machinery .would be ready to put it into practical One. A partnership was formed under the general laws of the State, entitled thu "Natural Gas Company, Limited," enpi tul 1100,000, and the following well known and enterprising firms and gen tlemen comprise theC'ompany: Messrs. Spang, Chalfunt A Co., of the .Etna 1 rou Works ; Messrs. G raiT, Dennett A Co, of the Millvale Iron Works; Henry llarley.Esq., of Titusville; J. J. A W. K. Yandegritt, of Oil City ; and Captain C. W. Itatchelor, President of the Ma sonic Deposit Savings Bank, of Pitts burgh. James I. Bennett, Esq., ia President, and Capt. Batchelor Treas urer ol the Company. The distance from tno gas well to Graft', Bennett & Cu.'s mill, at Millvale, is nearly nineteen miles, as the lino Is laid. Tho main is of six-inch wrought ron. It will thus bo seen that one hundred thousand feet of pipe were required to reach the mills. Tho capacity at tho well has a pressure, upon a partial tost, ot uu pounns to the inch. On Wednesday, Nov. 3, tho gas was introduced into ono of the puddling furnaces at the mill of Messrs. Hpang, Chalfunt 4 Co., through a thrce qnar tor inch pijic. Tho lurnaco was per fectly cold, bill in twenty minutes alter tho gas began to flow into the furnaco a whito heat was obtained. With the ordinary method of heating with coal, five hours would have been required to have produced a similar heat in tbo lurnaco. Professor Wulh, Ihocelebrated chem ist, who bas analysed tho gas, says its heating power is 25 per cent, higher than that ol good bituminous coal of equal weight. Tho velocity of the gas into the air is about ono minion cuiiic feet pot hour from the woll, or consid erably over a thousand tons per hour 1,400 ton nostiDlv. wiid a wen pro ducing tho quantity ot pas above indi cated, fuel equal to 60,000 bushel of coal per (lav, or la.zoti.uuu nunuois per annnm, will be provided.

REPUBLICAN. ilOOA'.S AS A MEDICISE. The beauteous days through which we are passing have a counterpart in nights that are equally bewitching, tbo former to be devoted to tbe delight ing of the senses, the latter to ho given up to tho enrichment of the intellect. To exist simply is to enjoy tho first; to bo profited by the last, one must be wise and willing. Tho day 1 satisfy ing enough as we find it, filled with the placid glory of earth and sky, bracing with cooling winds, gonial with mellow sunshine It come on with sharp frosts and reluctant suns, ripens into noons of summer splendor, and wanes into twilights gray with melancholy. We regret each day ; yet, arrivod upon its threshold, wo welcome every even ing, tho cheerful radianco of it fire etiiles. its pleasant household commu nions, its social privileges and hours of study and revelry, lapsing into the sun products of slu mbi Various indeed aro ,tho cmpliyytmn'tsrMI which those precious evenings may bo wisely passed, lor there ia wisdom a woll as pleasure iu all tbo simple diversions that bright en tbe homo and mako it joyous to the occupants, aud they commil a grave error who would regulate tbo step of innocent youth and contented age to the pace of a funeral tntin. But of all these there is none to supply the place of books. Those, in their multiplicity, fulfill all desires, quench all t hirsts, feed all appetites. Their entertain ment is constant, their cost trifling, their benefit coextensive with tho memory.

It is very much more effective than morning cocktails, precisely as the ounco of prevention outvalues the ound of cure. But books, liko all medicines, should be taken with dis cretion. Wo Should tear for tho pa tient who consumed Ned Buutlino and Shakespeare in equal proportions, and wo should despair of one who inter preted literature as chiefly tho stories of Mrs. South worth. For the same reasons wo should expect much of youth spent in the society ol such books as Hawthorne wrote, and in the study of the great master works of our language. A century ago it was the case that most men who rend were scholurs, since books were rare and trash seldom found a publisher. Now, however, thought having become large ly morchrfndiso, many who are vast reader are in no sense scholars. Itis, therefore, of the utmost importance that youth should not ho left to read ut random, but should Imvo ncciiratc information as to what is worth at tention and what had best bo omitted. Parents can tlo no wiser thing towards assuring tho future of their children that, to provide them with good books; "good," not in the sense in which the word is applied to the trash that is fre quently collated in Sundny school li braries, hut good in their information, style and power to entertain. Than this wo may be reasonably sure there ia no better nor easier method of keep ing young men and some young wo men, too within tbe influence of the lamily and away from the evil associa tion of tho atreet and the club.

When, however, it is busy feed ing, tho low chirp and an occasional twitter indirato, if alone, that it is talk ing to itself; or if with company, that it is talking to thorn ; for a bird sur rounded by others, or in company with it male, will chirp more loudly, and with a greater variation of notes, than whon alone.

Walking vs. Trotting Horse. A writer in the Prairie Ftlrmtr oom. plains that all the premiums offered at agricultural fairs for Ihe porlormance of burses go lor trotting or running ana nono for walking. Ho says the various agricultural societie suy nothing of walking, which the tarmurs are most interested in. I have often wondered why that was overlooked, and had hoped that ome one would bring it bolbro the societies. What benefit is raco horse to a farmer? If be want to run or trot him for premiums or stakes, it will not do to work him a farm horse bare lo worn Beside fast horo, gotiorally, are not able to und heavy work, and are not apt to be extra walkers, n uai me larmer want i close-made mnocuiar bone, weighing from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds, that can wsik at loasv tour mn n hour with a cultivator, or at that rate erosslnir the field. It cost, no more to drive a team that will plow thro acre por day, than it would to anvs one that would plow only two aero : and a irood hand, or ono that trie to earn hi wages, would. And why not offer premium for fast walking oin which an needed aa much as fast horse ? Carpet ar bought by lb yard and .worn by th loot. FALSE FLOWERS. Artificial flower are one of those characteristic feature of our modorn civilization which it is nut only diffi cult but almost impossible to trace to their exact origin. At least, their muniilacture bas introduced a want that people now feel as strong a they do the need of coal. It tueras that they were first made by ladies and in stituted as an amusement as much for profit as pleasure, having for it ob ject the cutting of artificial flowers from Swiss muslin nainsooks, a nne material resembling linen. Imagina tion can depict the fine ladies of two hundred years ago congregating to gether and industriously Betting to work over what was then but a pas time, but ha since grown into one ot the gival industries. The ladies of old used these artificial flowers for much the same purpose a they are applied to-day, for bead dresses of different kiuds and ornament to hats, and also the dress generally. In addition to these uses, they aro largely used at present in tho Roman Cat bolic churches in Europe and this country, and where one might havo supposed he saw a great abundance of elegant real flow er heaped up in bountiful profusion on the altar, there was, in reality, only colored and painted Swiss muslin or the well known naiusooK. lit tue Catholic church, also, girls taking their first communion wear a handsome wreath of artificial flowers, while the boys going for the first time to th same ceremony carry largo boquct of similar flowers in their hands. Boon after the ladies Commenced lo do tho work with their scissors, the leniand for tbe new flowers became all tbo rage, so much so that tools were invented and tbe mapulacturo ol arti ficial flowers was actually established, j In a well organized establishment ot fair proportions there aro at least not less than 1,500 of these tools, and the entire number of them is constantly employed in the onlinary daily routine of labor. Tbo muslin is laid in several thick nesses on a block ot lead, and cut out with thoso dies ; each flower, leaf and sprig necessitate a separate die. Tbe next process is the coloring, a most delicalo task, a all the fine tint and shade of the flower depend upon the result of this work. Tbo leave, when dry, aro ready for curling, or the giv ing to them of the requisite shape pre paratory to the next stage in the man ufacture. When all the different sizes ot tho flower' leaves are curled into the proper shape, the heart or seed of the flower is formed as a base, and then tho leaves or piece tied around with fine floss silk, or else posted in their proper positions until the flower is fin ished. Stem are made by winding cotton and paper or gauze around a wire. Spirals aro the result of twist ing paper together and arevry pretty combination with loaves and flowers, esecially among vine. The number of bands employed in a factory, taking a it basis one giving occupation to thirty girls, would be about in the fol lowing ratio: A forewoman, to gener ally overlook the work, who is paid about t'-O per week ; one colorer, who receives the same wages ; one cutter, who has 112 to 115 por week ; some six branchers, who get from 1 8 to f 12; thirty girl who receive each from f2 to 18 per woek, according to the work thoy do. IIOW TRUFFLES i)W IT. I returned, to Asbville after an ab sence or threo years and found my friend Truffle grown tut and jovial, with a face tho very mirror of peace and self'satisfaotion. Truffle was the village baker, and he was not liko this when I went away. "Truffle," said 1, "how is it? You have improved." "Improved I How?" "Why, In every way. What have you been doing ?" Just then a Iittlo girl came in with a tattered shawl and barefooted, to whom Truffle gave a loaf of bread. "Ob. dear. Mr. Truffles," tho child said, with brimming eyes, as she took the loaf of bread, "Mamma 1 getting belter, and she says sho owe so much to you. Slto blesses you indeed she does I" "That's ono of the things I've been doing," he said, after the child had gono. "Yon aro giving the suffering family broad ?" I quoried. "Yes." "llaveyou any more case like that?" "Y'es, three or four of them. 1 giv them a loaf a day, enough to feed them." "And you tako no pay f "Not from them." "Ah I from the town?" "No; hero," aaid Truffles, laying his hand on bi breast, "I'll tell you," he added, smiling. "One day, over a year ago, a poor woman came to me and asked for a loaf of bread for which she could not pay sho wanted it for ber poor, stitlonng children. At nrst, i hesitated, hut finally I gav to bur. and a her blessing rang in my car after sho had gono, I felt my heart grow warm. Time wore hard, ana there wasagooddeal of suffering, and I found myself wishing, by and by, that I conld atiord to givo away more bread. At length an idea struck mo. I'd stop drinking, and give that amount away in broad, adding one or two loaves on my owntjnecount. I Hid it, and it's boon a blesslne to me. My heart has grown bigger, nd I've grown bettor every way. My sleep is sound and sweet, ana my dream are pleasant. And that's what you see, I suppose." Arm lor Vbtervrr.

Various opinions exist as to when is the propo time to harvest potatoes. Some believe that it i best to let them remain in the ground at long apmi. bin before digging, thinking thai l bey keep better than after they are dug. Upon dry ground, provided the wea ther continues dry, quite likely this would be a good way to manage, but almost alway in autumn we have beavv rain which thoronirhly wet the ground and keep it saturated much of tbe time. In such coses the potatoes would be likely to decay. If, more over, they were uon a wot clayoy pioce of ground, the danger of decay would be far greater. Other persons practice digging their potatoes aa soon as thoy are ripe, and Elace tbem in a cool dry place. We ave tried this method for sevoral years and met with better results than by the old method of letting them remain till lato in the ground. We have dug tbem the last of August or the first of September, and during tbe rest of tbe month, and put them in the cellar. They kept well, and decayed but very Iittlo, and were nearly at good the next summer as when first dug. One ad vantage in Jigging them before the autumnal rains como on, is that the potatoes aro smooth and bright, and the dirt does not stick lo thorn, and if dug and housed in a pleasant day, there i very Iittlo dirt or moisture carried in with them. If left in the ground after they are ripe, they become wet by the rains, and the dirt sticks lo them, and they do not look so nice nor are they so mealy a when dug earlier. If the weather should be warm very likely they will rot badly, and those which remain will bo sodden, misera ble things to eat. If potatoes are left in tbe ground after they are riiie, it should' be no longer than till they bo conveniently dug, unless they aro upon dry land, and tbo weather continues dry Some may be afraid to dig potatoes so early, lest thoy should ret. We feared that this would be the case bo fore we tried it, but after a thorough trial during sevoral years, we feel con vinced that they koep tar better and aro of superior quality. It looks rea sonable that tho time to dig potatoes is as soon a they are ripe, the same as we harvest all ether products. Apples are not benefited by remaining on the tree after tbey are well ripened. Af ter riiwning. the noxt ttago is to begin to decay, and they koep the better if gathered .before quito luliy ripened. Our grains and vegetables gonorally we gather as soon as ripe, or a soon astheycensctogrow. Now, we would advise all to dig their potatoes as soon a they are ripe, and house tbem in shallow bin or casks. If any feel afraid to risk all their crop, let them try part of tbem and ee which lot keep tbe best. A writer last year recommended that potatoes should be kept in the ground, not only as late as possible, but even all winter, claiming that the earth wo their natural ele ment, and beat preserved them. All that we nee that 1 objectionable in this view, is tbe proposition to keep them tin the ground all winter, or till late in the tall, even. It the earth coma re main dry, we do not doubt that, if pro tected from the frost, they would koep well. We thought his suggestion that tbe earth ts the natural element of the potato and it preservative, worthy of remembering and trying. Now, would it oot be woll to try potatoes packed in dry earth in boxes or barrels, and even upon tbe bottom of the cellar? We have noticed that potatoes which hsppened to ho covered with dirt upon the bottom of the cellar, kept nicely, and appeared much fresher in the spring than others) which were uncov ered. This suggestion is worth acting upon, and may be of considerable val uo. Exchantt. ' the "stage. Tbe fata of even brilliant actors is often extremely sad.

Some years ago a difficulty aroso between the two fanners about thu proper lo cation of a lino fence. A long, bittor, and extensive lawsuit followed. Far mer Hurst was finally successful in the suit, and died two years ago. Russell bated tbe name of Hurst, and when, somo three year since, he mado tbe discover' tbat bis daughter and tbe son of his old enemy bad formed an attachment for- each other, und wero actually engaged to be married, he threatened to disown Harriet if she did not at onco renounce the itlca of wedding young Hurst. She made the sacrifico to marry in obedience to her parent. About throe months ago Russell as loirished bis daughter by telling her that he intended to soon marry the girl Mary Stokes, and bring ber back to the farm-houso. Harriet assured him tbat when he brought his witti borne he would find his daughter gone. Friday moring the old farmer, tell ing Harriet that bo would re tern wilh his wile In tho afternoon, drove away towards' the homo of Mary Stokes. The daughter placed the house iu readiness lor tbo return of ber lather, and about noon sin tied fur ilossville. She left behind her, on the bureau in her room, the following letter addressed to Iter father: Dear Fatheb: 1 have always tried to bo dutiful to you,, but tho act you intend to do to-day is more than 1 can submit to, as l'liuve more than once told you.

God bless you, father, and good-by. Your once-loved daughter, Haiti e. Upon reaching this village, Mis Russell was met by Horlon Hurst. They proceeded to the house of Mrs. William Fillcy, a sister of Hurst's, and about 3 o'clock in tbo afternoon were married by the Rev. Mr. Young, of the Methodist Church. Afterwards they went, in company with Mrt. Fillcy and a young gentleman, a friend of Hurst's, to the village tavern, where it had been arranged to take dinner. They wore nearly through the ropast, which bad been very liko a wedding least, when tbo door of the dining room was burst in, and farmer Russell, pale with rage, and a singular glitter in his eye sprang into tho apartment. Hit duugbtur esosu hastily and ran to wards him with outstretched arms, but he threw her ashle and sprang upon ber husband. "You scoundrel!" ho exclaimed; "you set my daughter up to leave her home I" He grasped Hurst by the throat, but tbe young man threw him off and com menced backing toward tbe door. Russell seized a knife from the table, and getting between Hurst and tbe door, attempted to stab tbe, young man. Hurst received tbe thrust in bis arm, and seeing that tbe old man was bent on murder, drew a revolver and warned him to stand back. Russell did not beed tho warning, and continued to make deadly lunges with the knife, llui-st received many ot these in his arm and shoulder. Hurst't sister es caped from the room during the melee, and the young men present seemed paralyzed with terror. At last Hurst pushed his assailant back from bim and levelled tbo pistol at bim. Hi wife at that instut sprang between tho men just as her husband's pistol wa discharged. Tho ball entered her brain, and she fell to the floor and expired without saying a word. The report of tho pistol brought a number of per sons into the room. Hurst had fallen on his knee beside his wile's body, and after several times frantically ap pealing to her hy name to look up and sieak to bim, bo rose to bit feet, and before a band coultl bo extended to him, shot himself through the head, and he fell dead try the sido 01 his vrif'e.
