Ortj 1,000,000 pounds of Colorado wheat hare already been shipped from Denver. It is estimated that the present cotton crop of the South will not amount to more than half the ordinary yield. Hay chopped ready for feeding is now pressed into bales in Maine and shipped to the Boston market. Diehl wheat seems to be giving satis faction in Michigan. Thirty to forty- five bushels per acre ore reported in some sections. Borneo has a tree the nut 'of which yields vegetable tallow. The trade in the artiole promises to become one of great importance. It is estimated that of the present great c:op of fruit throughout the United lates, more apples have been josh Dy i :ung and waste than an aver age crop would amounted to. An epidemic resembling the horse disease has attacked the deer in the woods of Michigan. Many of them have been found dead, with their throats badly swollen and every indications having the horse maladv. A lot of Texas cattle were recently driven into Appanoose countv. Iowa. for pasturage, and now the native cattle in the vicinity of Moulton. in that ounty, are dying off at a rapid rate with the Texas onttle fever. A hen has unfortunately been killed in Boston which might in time have attained the power of laying golden eggs. A solid nugget of the precious metal was found in her insides, weigh ing four penyweights and in shape very like an egg. Walnut stumps have become an article of merchandise and many of them are very valuable. The curly grain of the roots is used for veneering, and some stumps are worth 150 nfter being prop erly worked into shape. A late writer lays down this as an axiom in drainage : It is not judicious to spend money in draining land that needs draining, so long as we can hbo jfche money to good advantage in the better cultivation of other good land that does not need draining. Breeding fine stock successfully is a specialty which requires study and ex perience. It is a science that but few farmers are able to comprehend. To bo a competent judge of fine stock nature must bestow the talent, and that gift muRt be cultivated and educated. Paschal Morris says he once saved the life of a $600 short-horned bull, sick with hoven, by placing a wisp of twisted hay in his month and tying it p tightly behind the horns. Tho work ing of the jaws to get rid of this encum brance liberates the gas in the stomach, and relief is immediate. Making beet sugar has not been suc cessful jn Indiana this year. The season was so wet that tho product was ex tremely light. To prepare vegetable oysters, parboil it? scrape off the outside, and cut it in shoes. Make a batter with powdered cracker, beaten eggs and salt ; dip each slice in, and fry both sides brewu. Water Cake. Dry three pounds of fine flour, and rub it into a pound of sifted sugar, one pound of butter, and one ounce of caraway seed. Make it into a paste with three-quarters of a pint of boiling new milk, roll very thin, and cut into the size you choose ; punch full of holes, and bake on tin plates in a tool oven. To Make Preserved Ginger of Lettuce Btalks. Put the onantitv of lettuce ottUH mat yon wibu to preserve in salt and water for four or five days, chang ing it every day ; make a syrup of one pound 01 sutrar, one pint of water, quarter of a pound of ginger, with the peet oi lemon, rue wnite oi an egg ; boil till clear, which must be done three times a week for three weeks ; wipe the staiKB quite dry, and pour the syrup over, boiling. This preserve, if well tied down in jars and kept in a dry place, will keep for lour or hve years, Cold Slaw. Mince very finely a small cabbage : put it into a china bowl, and prepare for a nice dressing. Take half a pint of the best white vinesrar. mix with a quarter of a pound of butter cut in bits and rubbed in flour, a little salt and cayenne. Stir all this together and boil in a small sauce-pan. As soon as it boils, stir in the yolks of four well beaten eggs, and take it immediately off the fire. Pour it boiling hot over the cabbage, and mix it with a spoon. Let it become cold before sending to table. TheU. S. Agricultural Bureau. The report of the Agricultural Bureau, just published, shows that the corn crop of this year is an unusual large one. It is manifest that the corn crop is as large as that of 1870. and when the returns are all in, a crop of one thousand one hun dred million bushels will be indicated, in quality somewhat below the average. The season has been unpropitious for cotton, but not less favorable than that of last season. The total product as in dicated by the first week in November is made verynearly 3,450,000commereial bales of 465 pounds. In potatoes the returns point to a decrease of five per cent, from the product of last year, amounting to six millions of bushels. There has been a small increase in the hay crop, which will probably reach 24, 000,000 tons. Home Made Ycant. Daisy Eye- bnght, in the Country uentteman re commends the following: Boil two hand- fuls of hops, tied in a small bag, in six quarts of water, slice thin six large pota toes, and boil them with the hops; when they are soft skim them out and mash perfectly fine: add to them one and a half pints of wheat flour stirred to a smooth batter with cold water; turn over the whole the boiling hop liquor, first taking out the bag and squeezing it dry; then hang it aside to use another time, IOT it will make two batches of yeast, Stir into this mixture two tablespoonfnls f susrar. one of (ringer and one of salt.

The com munion service, used during Sunday service, is valned at over $20,000, anil many of its pieces were scut to the ehuroh by crowned heads in Europe. This is evidently what the thief was after. On the south side of the chancel aro two vestry rooms, each having a large window. I'ach window is protected by three lieht sashes. The windows are about throe feet above the ground, nnd the snow reached up nearly to the sills. To open tho sashes was easy. The windows swing on pivots, which enter small apertures on each side of the wood work, They are opened and closed by moan's of cords fastened to the upper part of their edges, and running to small iron pulleys lasteneu insitie, a short distance above the upper sill, and thence down nearly to the floor. When the window is closed the cord is pulled down and tied to a small catch between the sill and the floor. The burglar scaled the picket fence in Rector street, about sixty feet west of Broadway, lie had previously placed a large stone on tho top of the inside stone wall on which the fence rests, so once on the fence he could step down without getting caught on the sharp edges of the pickets. He landed near the tomb of Alexander Hamilton, and took a semi-circuitous route in a north westerly direction toward tho chancel. The distance was about 250 feet. With an eight-inch dagger he pried open the weak Boshes, and then went to work at the window of the middle vestry room. Turning his back toward the heavy wood work, he forced the windows slightly-inward, making a smaller aper ture. The cord's elasticity assisted him. He then cut the eord and entered. Drawing a dark lantern from beneath his coat, he took a rapid survey oi uie room. Inside were half a dozen desls with drawers, all of which were loeked. The walls are nearly covered with mar ble tablet, commemorative of the greot men of the country. Under the window opening into the rear or these rooms stood a box used to hold the loose earth when vaults are opened for interments, and by standing on this box it was easy to force the window open. Once inside the burglar hod his own way. Desks were turned upside down, their drawers forced open, aud doors broken oil, while their contents; consisting of books and letters; were scattered over the floor. The burglar examined almost every thing, even to the letters from the English royal family and many of the nobility. He secured the contents of the contribution boxes, which Dr. Ogilby says probably contained fifty to sixty dollars. He then retraced his steps, going south ot the liarnuton tomb, and escaped into Keetor street, over the fence at the point where he had entered. The footprints in the snow north of the tomb were regular and of large size, while those south of the tomb were irregular and had a trail, indicating that the burglar had been frightened, and rau toward the street. Among the stuff scattered on the floor the dagger was found, as was also a very large pocket knife, open and ready for instant use. Sexton August, who generally sleeps in this room, was absent at the time. Since the robbery of St. Paul's Churoh, four years ago, the church plate has been kept in the bank vault. Among the communion plate were several pieces from the Prince of Wales and Frince Arthur. hen these royal youths were in this couutry they attend ed divine worship at this church, and were eafu proocutcii -with elegant gold bound Bjbles. In return, they each sent to the church some silver plate. Among the papers, which the burglars scattered over the floor, are letters from the- most distinguished Episcopal Bishops and ministers in this country and in England. They were highly prized. The Ruby and Sapphire. Tho recent diamond swindle having attracted much attention throughout the whole world, the following abstract of a paper rend by J. Lawrence Smith, at the last meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, will bo read with interest : " The writer exhibited somo speci mens which ho received from Montana. In referring to the density of rubies, he remarked that a pint of these stones would make two pints with their con stituents. Tho linest rubies and sap phires came from Asia'and South Amer ica. Many of these gems were to bo found in our own country, the God of nature having blessed us with every thing needful and usefnl. Tho speaker had bestowed much attention upon the subject of which ho was speaking, hav ing explored Asia Minor, the Grecian archipelago, and the East Indies for specimens of tho gems. Four months ago he, received a package from Trout River, Montana, and discovered that the contents of tho package were true sapphires and Oriental emeralds. They were small, did not possess tho right color, but nevertheless were gems. Montana was rich with them. The gems from there wero perfectly transparent. The Arizona diamonds wero the color less sapphire or rubv. If these were cnt and polished, it would puzzle a jew eler to tell the difference between them and the real diamond. Tho Arizono gems were hard, and would cnt any stone but diamond. The feet that they were so hard often led to tho error ol confounding them with diamonds. The professor had hoped to receive a poek age of gems from San Francisco, from thjc newly-discovered fields, in time for this meeting, but hod failed to do so. The new discoveries were similar to the gems which he submitted for the inspec tion of tle association. The Montana gems' lacked valne in the particular that they lacked color. They would have half the value of diamonds if tho green color was more intense. Rubies and sapphires beyond a certain size exceed ed the dimond in value, for the reason that diamonds never get beyond tlia size. Valuable corundum had been found in North Carolina, but most of it had been only half gems. Some were very pure, and are now being cut in Boston and set in jewelry. Tho gem' from New Jersey lack transparency. The ruby most prized was that in which the faintest tint of blue intermingled withe the red. In sapphires the intense blue color is most appreciated. In con cluding his remarks, Mr. Smith remark ed that America had all the metals ol the globe. " Prof. Kerr, in alluding to the loca tion in which rubies had been discov ered in North Carolina, said they were found -principally in Cherokee and Macon Counties. Several mines were being worked in these counties, aud hod already yielded several tuns. A man in Philadelphia owned a ruby which came, from North Carolina, anil which weighed a pound. Another Phil adelphia gtntlernau had in his possession a crystal of corundum which weighed 315 pounds. The North Carolina gems were only iound in connection with the unique beds of trysolite. These bedf extend from the old North State into Virginia, a distance of 100 miles." The Snow-Storms of the Pint. Collision of a Comet with the Earth. The Illinois Stavtt Zeitvnff thinks that Prof. Plantamonr was, after all, right in his calculations about the comet ; he only erred in the time as signed to the catastrophe, which hap pened about a hundred days later than predicted. According to the testimony of a nuibei;of German astronomers the anticipated collision took place on the 27th tilt., when they observed no less than 50.000 meteors, all believed to be the ruins of Bicla's comet. A comet has actually come into contact with our planet, or rather into its outer atmos phere, aud the former got, as it deserved, decidedly the worst of it. Among all the high flyers in our solar system, says the Jmcr-Uceau, there is, perhaps, none better known to our celestial police then the so-called Biela's comet. Revolving at nearly the same distance from the sun as the earth it was long expected that the two might some time collide, and a close watch was consequently kept on the motions of the comet. 1 many in l4b, some astronomical detectives were started to discover that the comet had parted into two pieces, which continued to circle on in the same orbit, but 200,000 miles distant from one another. In the year 1852 the piece was sighted once more, but the distance between them had extended to over a million aud a half miles. When again due, in 1859. the unfavorable position of our earth prevented an observation, and in 18G5 all telesoopes swept tho bkies for them in vain. The result is, two as sumptions : First, that the comet has entirely broken up, and its particles now roam through spaco in a demoralized and reckless condition ; second, that the great meteorical shower observed on the 27th ult., in Europe, was caused by the friction of these partioles when passing through our outer atmosphere. Mrs. Breton, in her cook-book, says To make nice breakfast cakes take one pound of flour, one-half teaspoon tartar ic acid, one-half teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon soda, and one and one-half large cups of milk, one ounce of lifted loaf sugar, two eggs. Make them as you would soda bread, with the addition of sugar and eggs. Mix flour, tartaric acid and salt well together, taking care that the two latter are reduced to finest pow der, and Btir in the sifted sugar. Dis solve tho sugar in the milk, add the egg, which should be well whisked, ' . fit. i: . : i i. it - jVa into a light dough. Divide into small cakes, plaoe in the oven immediately, A California judge recently went to San Francisco to seek relief from a sin crukir malady which had baffled the skill of the physicians in his own town Among the great suow-storms of the past few were jaore extended in theii range or more disastrous to life and property than that of January 17, 18(i7. It lasted nearly twenty-five Lours, and was accompanied by a furious gale and very cold weather. It extended os fur west as the Plains and was bounded ou the south by tho Ohio and Potomoe, although some of its effects reached to Hamilton Roads. Another severe storm occurred on tho 20th. Wrecks weir piled up along the coast and scores of lives were lost. Many persons were bewildered in the snow nnd quite n number were frozen to death, especially in New England. Among these was Commodore G. S. Bluke, who got be wildered in going to his home in the suburbs of Boston and took refuge in o hut. He never recovered from the shock of the exposure. From two to four feet of snow fell throughout the Middle States. Four feet was the reported depth in Pitts burg, and as it was ranch drifted, the consequence was the interruption of communication between the cities and country for several days. Many people were barricaded in their homes. Steam boats were kept in port, rail-cars were snow-kouud, and mails were delayed in a remarkable manner. Ihero was no regular communication by rail between New York and Boston for four days. The records of the past contain ac counts of many similar storms ; but the most striking facts concerninor them were naturally observed in New Eng land. The storm of January 19, 185", stop ped all the railroads of New England. The Stonington load was not opened until Jannary 27. TrainB did not com mence running between Hartford and Providence until the same day. In some parts of Connecticut the thermom eter was 30 degrees below zero. In the storm of Deoemiier 28, 1853, tho snov began fidling at eleven o'clock Wednesday morning and continued till four a'clock Thursday afternoon. The snow was drifted as laigh as the tops of the ears. A train of three locomotives started fwm a neighboring town tward Boston and wow embedded in a drift at the end of the seventh mile. The next day a train of three locomotives occu pied from morning till night in accom plishing five miles. The great snow-storm of January 15, 1831 was a stupendous one. The snow was drifted in some places in the cities to the depth of fifteen feet. The churches were generally closed on the following Sunday ; partly because the snow was piled so high against the doors that they coald not be opened. In February, 1829, so heavy a snow fell that many persons engaged in festivities COIumeuiOrHllvo Ul uonuuiyivju o uji lu Vngnrles of a Blind Man. I am to be introduced to a remarkable character, whom I wish Charles Dick en's had happened to fall in with. Let this feeblo pen recall what it may of his specialities. See, we near him. led now by his daughter, (for he is blind,) to sit for an hour in the cloisters. Ho is in conversation wifli tiimself conversa tion interspersed with short scornful laughs, upon the one master-subject of his thought. I have been forewarned as to his little peenlinritv. at least, his special peculiarity of all, which is that all his thoughts run perpetually upon the devil. It is concerning that fallen angel that he holds those sarcastic soliloquies, talking, if not to him, at any rate of him. So for granted docs he take it, that the subject of his own thoughts is also certainly and always the subject of yours, that he never thinks it necessary to go beyond pronouns, nor to specify by any name the lost spirit who is his perpetual theme. It is always "lie." or "His." So 1 am prepared when, upon my brother's accosting him he plunges into the subject without ex planation or preface. At present he seems in a somewhat sympathetic vein. " They runs him 'down shocking. shocking, everywhere. Why. there ain't a murder or a theft committed, but they lays it all at his door. I suppose, sir, he eggs em on. that s it. 1 hey runs him down where you come from, sir, suppose ?" "Oh, yes! but here's a gentleman wants to talk to you; he has just come from a long way off." " Well, what sort of a hnraotcr do they give him down there t 1 dare any they runs him there? Ahab served him well. sir. Jeremiah used to run him Yon clergymen all give him a very bad character; bnt what wituld yon do with out him ? Your work would all be gone 1" At another time he would change over from the position of apologist, and " run him," himself; partly on personal grounds, partly as a political econO' mist. " Shouldn't bo blind, shouldn't b lame, if it wasn't for him. Shouldn want prisons, shonldd't have to keep all these soldiers; Bee what a lot he costs us 1" He rather startled my sister one sultry ninimrr day, when she accosted him in passing ""Very hot. Billy I" "Ah!" he rejoined, " but what must it be thure I" J5illvs knowledge of the JJibio was something very marvelous. When h lid turn lor awhile irom nis favorite hero, the conversation was all of divers "Scripture characters, in a world of which tho old man seemed really to live. This was the more curious, inasmuch as he was blind. I suppose his intimato ac luaintanee with them came, or was kept up. in this way. He never missed either momiug r afternoon prayers at th -Impel. Yon might see him shuftlin in, doubtless looking with special zest lo n chapter which should intromit? " linn. If " he were " run m a scr noii, it seemed rather to excite his "hampionsbip for "him," but still there evidently wnsnfascination in the subject which made it a delight to hear "him" " run" than not treated of at all. The iiost remarkable thing was Hint Billy knew perfectly, though blind, the pro oer lessen for every day, matins and ?ven-song, in the Christian year. And nore than this, he was determined that 'he right lesson, and no other, should be rend. Thus, one day, in full chnpel, in unhappy canon went to the lectern md began to read. Forthwith, Billy diuftles over to him nnd pulls his sur- nlice. It's the w rong lesson, sir. Ihe noor man tried to go on, but Billy per severed, until there was nothing left but to return to tho desk nnd look, where upou the mentor was seen to bo right. The old man was also a great critic on sermons. Few things offended him more thna to have tho proper subject of the day or season ignored. " Mr. Moss came and preached here, preached on Advent Sunday a sermon it for Christmas. Quito wrong. Just tho snme on tho Epiphany. Why "ouldu't ho preach ou the subject of the llflV?" He evidently disliked what has been called " stale bread." "You'll soon hnvo a man here, sir, to preach ; if I had as many gninens as I've heard him preach old sermons, I'd sit you dowu to the finest dinner you ever ate in your life." Enough of thee. Billy! May the hour nnd tho duv arrive to thee when evil an gels and nights' shadows shall together flee from eyes and mind; and a galaxy of white, serious-eyed, Bweet angels greet thy recovered vision. The Country Parnon. Hatching Salmon, The inquiries of Mr. Livingston Stone, made under the direction of Professor Baird, United States Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, in relation to the salmon of California, have revealed a very remarkable difference in the eggs of that species as compared with those of the true Nalmo mlar of the Hinstern States. Tho most noticeable foct is thoir relatively small number, the for mer having 700 to the pound instead of ,1HH). The eggs are, of course, appre ciably larger than those of the Atlantic, coast, being almost equal in size to a common whortleberry. Uwing proimmy to tho higher temperature of tho water, or to other cbubcs, the development itt much mora rapid, since the eye spotn are visible in the eggs within nineteen days after impregnation, tid they begin to hatch in twenty-fonr doys afterward, making a total of only forty-three days ns the period of incubation. The hatching water varied in tempera ture from 55 to 05 and even 70 every day, so that it is difficult to say what is the average temperature for the hatch ing period; hut .Air. ritono estimates this nt 58 to 60. Fourteen hours out of the twenty-four namely, from six o'clock p. m. to eight o clock n. m. the water averaged nearly 55. The eggs after spawning were treated according to the dry method of im pregnation, aud the experiments were successful in nearly every instance. Another curious Inct noticed by Jlr. Stone was tho entire absence of female grilse, all, of the great number observed on the M'Cloud River, being males: and indeed he remarks thot he lias never seen a female grilse elsewhere, although persons assured hiin that they had had a different experience. Power of Memory. Dr. Johnson, it is said, never forgot anything he had seen, heard, or rend. Biirl Clarendon, Gibbon, Locke, Tilotsin, wero all distinguished for strength of memory. When Blinding to this subject, Sir William Hamilton ob serves : For iatelleetuol power of the highest order, none were distinguished above Grotius and Pascal ; and Grotius and Pascal forgot nothing they had ever rend or Wmught. Leibnitz and Euler were not less celebrated for their intelli gence than for their memory ; and both could repeat tho whole nf the "?3neid."

From parties just arrived fiym South western Kansas, we learn that the weather has been severe beyond endur ance, and the. suffering among the hunt ers beggars description. A farmer who arrived in Wichita, Report having over taken a teem loaded with buffalo skins, and on the wagon, stiff with the cold, sat the driver, permitting the team t wander at will over tho prairies, one entirelv nimble to help himsulf. lit told the farmer he was frozen and com pelled to remain iu the position he was, md at tho same beckoned will his hoot1 to the wagon-box, thus calling attention lo the contents of the bed. Upon look i.ig over the side of the box a torribh "ight wn before him. There lyingsidr by side were two hunters frozn stiff ir death, and as tho wagon jolted over thr rough plain, they knocked together like two great icicles. The gentleman who brought the news to Wichita had his handsW badly frozer ns to make amputation necessary shortly nfter his arrival. He was unable togivr tho names of any of tho unfortunate party. We also learn from Thr. Wirhitr. Rmcon, that a party of fonr went int camp ou Moot s ureeK, muos rron timber, who have undoubtedly pensiieo. At a house 1Z nines west oi lciiuit. i men arrived during the night of the 2:id all frozen. Some of them will lost, theii feet, others their hands and fingers. The road between Wichita and the buf falo range is strewn with buffalo hide! and meat, abandoned by their owners to save themselves and teams. Highland Customs. Among the Scotch Highlanders many ceremonies are observed which are con sidered to have lastnig force throughout the year. The weather for the year if augured from tho flight of clouds or New Year's Day. The house and itf contents aro sprinkled with water aud fumigated witu smoKe oi ournmg jtuii per as a prevention of disease. Through out all Scotland, indeed, thedoyismort marked than in England, probably bo cause Christmas was decreed ns a Poim1 delusion by tho stem old Colvnnists ttir the season craves somo festival. J lit wassal ceremonial was prevalent till e very few years ago, aud a peculiar cus tom called "nrst-iooting is winery on served to this day. Parties, generally of men only, supply themselves abund antly vnih whisky and visit tlie nouses--of their friends as early as possible on the first morning of the year, offering the compliments of the season. He who first enters any house is called tug nrs foot, and a tradition connects him with a pleasant prophecy with the oldest mar riageable daughter of the household.

How wns it, wo asked ourselves, Mint the word " bitters " hnj grown to bo a synonym for gin, Wlffskey, rum. md other alcoholic stimulants, to which it was applied indiscriminately. Bitt ers, we reasoned, suggested the idea of a healthful tonic, not of a poisonous itimulnnt; something invigorating to the system, not an alcoholic irritant, full of fusel oil, producing present in toxication and ultimate insanity, idiocy, or premature death. Moreover, our Men of bitters was totally irreconcila ble with "gin cocktails," "mm pun ches," and " brandy smashes," which, wo ore informed, nre sweetened with ugar and rendered doubly injurious with essences colored by means of min iiil poison.
