Mildew 011. Gooseberries. We hear much about "mildew on goose berries," and of various remedies : but we have seen none in which we can put full faith. The last one, we find in the Griirscc Fornttr, but like the others we doubt its efficacy. It Should Lave been tried more than one season. The writer, 11. B. S., of Illinois, says : •'3ly father had seine niceooseberry bushes; every year they. would Vow and show a fair prospect of fruit, until they would he about half grown, when they would all mildew, and not one be fit to eat. This state of things continued for several years, when we happen ed to hear that to pour strong soap suds over the bushes, once or twice a week, when the fruit was Setting, would prevent the mildew. Last summer we tried it, and the hushes fair ly bent Kith fruit. which would fairly make one's mouth water, instead of their eyes as be fow. A neighbor of ours had goos e b e rries whieltmildewed in the same way. Last spring. cleaning out his stove pipe, the idea was sug:2,ested of putting the soot upon the gooseberry hushes. It was accordingly done, rind the result was he had gooseberries with out milder•."

The large vv iety. culled, we believe, the "Green Walnut," is very subject to mildew ; while the Eng silver variety, called, we believe, " Wood tvald's Whitestinth," is scarcely ever Infected with it.

He waited for a week in a state of feverish anxiety ; but at length an answer came, and the lady granted'his request. The letter breathed the spirit of modesty and good sense. The lady stipulated fur six months' correspondence, after which they were to meet. From this time, they wrote regularly, upon various topics ; but the personal appearance of each was never once the subject of allusion.— Harry's high opinion of his fair correspondent was enhanced upon the reception of every let ter. until he become thoroughly in love with his incognita . ; and lie began most earnestly to, long for the expiration of his probation.

"See, Dolph," said Gert. "the pigeons 4tre in the woods yonder.

A col respondent of the . \c +c York 'tribune, in a letter rout timington. c aware, gives the following interlting sketch of the process , which powder is ulnae at the celebrated mills of Dupont, in that City : -or course Of the details of the business of :Messrs. Dupont. it' even known to tic, I . could not make mention, unless by their consent : but the process of manufacture is in reality no secret : every book of-dientistry treating of it to some extent. All know that gunpowder is composed of brimstone and charcoal, thongh but few have any idea of the trouble and labor gone through to have these materials of a pro per quality. The saltpetre. as received at the yards. has the appearance of dirty coarse salt,' lilted with a short fibrous matter ; by a pro cess of refining two or three times repeated, it assunies an appearance somewhat of tine Snit, in which state it is fit for the powder mill. 6reat care is also taken to have the sulphur _pll rl:•—flu t_the_mostlabot_and_forethongli t_ seems to be nec.essary itr Procuring the char coal.which is "it mad° of the willow and pop. tar. the former being used for the best kinds of powder. For the supplies of their woons the I proprietors set out yearly. in every nook and eorner, trees which are hewn down every three years, and the branches are converted into charcoal. This method of procuring the wood, gives a siii i appearance to the country. for io . manY places alongside-the - roads - or by th e streams, may he sr en old trunks, standing but, little hither than a man's head and topped only with a bunch of branches. 1 saw some trunks that appeared to be (Orly or fifty years old. without a limb bigger than my wrist. ." The mill buildings "in which the materials are ground or mixed are scattered along the hanks. of the stream, each containing a old!. They ale built of stone on three sides, with heavy walls strengthened with piers ; the 01 le' r side timing the stream, is of wood, and the roof also slopes toward the strew nt.--The plan, of construction is to lessen the damage from explosions, for should an explosion _take place _the fOrce would be diverted towards the stream. The mill consists of two heavy iron rollers on wheels moving in a trough. 1 saw one pair, each of which weighed 15.000 lbs , about, seven tons. The material being well mixed and pulverised in these mills, is slightly mois tened, when it is pressed,into cakes till it be comes almost as hard as plaster of Paris. Th ese cakes are then broken np into small pieces, and taken to the granulation mill, an operation, which,.on acconnt of its danger; way not permitted to see. After granulation, the powder is taken to the ;glazingmill. " Here Ott) or 70it pounds are vizi, into a . svooden cask, revolving moderately fast for twenty-four hours, there being six or eight of these casks, and close by cacti were 700 pounds more; ready for another charge. From the glazing mill the powder is taken to the - dry.house. I lere at the time of my visit/ were nearly four tons or powaor spread out on the trays, while near by were two furnaces roaring allay at. the rate of a ton of cool eneh in twenty-four hours. Dan:2l9' there was not, vet 1 could not but think of St. , ltastopol and the story of its ID From the drying houses the powder is taken to the packing house, where it is put iy barrels or canialers, thence taken . to a. magazine. of which there are several, built with the _same regard to non-damage in ease of explosion as the grinding m ills. While standing in one of the packing houses. and just as I had given a kick to a hundred pound keg of powder. intended fOr his excel leney Santa Anna, Mr. Dupout called to a inan to la ing him some powder in a scoop shovel, and therein inspected about a half a peck of powder, destined to knock Out of this world sonic enemy of his said excellency. The un concern with which this was handed me as thoNgh it, wore but so much wheat. struck me as metuarkable. 1 wOlll4l not convey this idea, that Carel CSS is etistoMary or allowed, nor was the incident above inuntioned a carcles N art, its moicaide fi , ature arising. rather from tin; bent it my own mind.

The Manchester Mirror relates an instance which was tecently witnessed near Manchester. N. 11., of a contest between n squirrel and a robin. - The squirrel ascended all apple tree, With felonious intent and malice aletethought,l4 the. purpose of sucking the eggs of a robin that had built her nest there. Fortunately, 'Mrs. 'Redbreast was upon the nest at the time, and sustained with valor the attack of her flow-tinted assailant, and Mr. Squirrel soon found that he had rashly assault ed -a perfect Sebastopol of a bird's nest, de fended by 'a foe rinwe terrible to him than would be the forces of the whole combined Russian army. In the fierce battle which oc curred he was sadly scratched and beaten, and ut length retired in disgust and shame from. the tree: This squirrel was one of the.striped variety--n plebeian ‘•chip-monk," as a coun try schoolmaster would say-a-and probably sentiments or chivalry or refinement' had ever been installed into his ignoble mind. • • CAN A STATCi (4:l‘ Daum; ?-1 - 11 the follow ing item from the Boston Post it would seem that t h e "State," as represented, must have been in a state of intoxication : A few years ado tlit• States Attorney of a northern county in -Vermont, although a man of great legal OW; ty, was fond of the bottle.
