The Corner wuz in ft most pleasant frame
uv mind lost Friday nite. So important a
event ez the release uv our saintid Davis
cood not be allowed to go by without com
memoratin, and we accordinly commemora
tid. . The rcjoicins wuz held at the Church,
tho they commenst at Bascom's. Ez the
heftiest pnrt uv the rejoicic bed bin done at
Bascom's, taperin off, ez I may soy, at the
Church, the speeches were very short, cf n
to tho pint. . When, how, or wher it ao
journed, I know not. I wandered orf into
the realms uv Morphna in the middle uv
Deekin Pogram's sekondly, and afore I got
back I bed taken a rather long journey.
I dreamed a very curis dream. Ale-tnawt
I wuz in the regions that are populcrly sup
posed to lay dl-iow us. unio nis uurain
thn.ee sot Lucifer, a readin the Noo York
Triboon. with the most puzzled expression
onto his face I ever witnest. Layin it down
with a sigh, ez tho belied gonehumpin into
a stunner which be cood not comprehend,
be remarkt, sadly, "To biznizl" and de
manded uv bis book-keeper, the sitooashen
uv things. Reports were read to him, wicli,
in the main, pleased him. A shade uv sad-
niss beclondtd las classiklo countenance ez
the statement that Napoleon and Bismark
ned made up, but his face illuminatid se
renely ez it wuz statid that tho Christian
nashens bad decided to let tho Turks go on
a butcherin the Cretans, which wuz replaced
with a frown agin when he wuz informed
that there wuz a prospeck uv tne ii-ngusn
common people guttin a vote. Aiier goin
thro tho rest uv the world, the United btatts
come in.
Kentucky," sed the book-keeper, lookin
over a bundle nf fresh reports, "is all rite.
Helm is electid Governor by a whackm ma
jority, and M Kce and ltice is rtetcetiu."
"Ooon I" sen ue, letcnin nis tan aown in
a ecstasy uv joy; ''the next time I swing
around the circle ! must visit Kentucky.
No State does so well for me with so little
uv my assistance. I nlluz like to visit Ken
tucky. Noo York City is ruther pleasant,
tho it's so near like my own place that I
don't enjoy it much when I'm there.. I don't
feel ez tho I'm away from home and a vis

and a most happy okkurrenco for yoor ma
jesty."
"That reporter s a ass, ana aon i Know me
secret springs which actooste men. Recall
him to wunst for makin sich a foolish re
mark." "But," sed the Sekretary, who seemed to
me to be a imp uv some consekencc, to be
permitted to argoo with Lucifer hisself,"I
consider it uv importance. Did yoo wish
Jeff'son Davis to die in prlzen I"
"Ef yoo wuzn't uv decided yoose to me,
hevin lieen a Noo York alderman, I'd re
doose you. Want Jeff'son Davis to die f
Not I. I'm not the yooth wot killed the
goose 'wot laid the golden egg. He's

A Itattlesnake Expressed to Easton
The Easton Sentinel says : "On Monday
morning lost there was quite a commotion
in the Howard Express office, opposite this
otuce, on inira street, in this borough
caused by a large rattlesnake making his
appearance in the midst of the clerks and

one about the establishment knowing any

lowed to remain in theoflice until Monday
morning, when it was remarked that rather
an unpleasant odor came from the box. Mr,
Uiggins, the 'agent at this place, requested
Qeorge Chamberlain, one of the drivers, to
open the box and see what offensive matter
it contained. Chamberlain at once turned
the box over and stepped to the rear of the
omce to get a hatchet, and when be ro
turned be discovered his snakeship crawl
iug on the floor, ho having made his exit
through a knot hole in the box, from
which the knp.tnad fallen when the box
was turned over. The alarm was given and
an indiscriminate stampede followed some
mounted the counter ana others perched
themselves on top of boxes, out of the reach
of the' reptile. Mr. Uiggins drew a revolver
and commenced firing on the enemy ; the
second shot took effect aud made the 'var
mint' feel uncomfortable, causing him to
spring bis rattles and snow tight. About
this time Mr. Chamberlain struck bim with
a heavy bar of iron, which knocked tho life
out of him and ended the fight. . He was an
ugly customer, being about four feet long
and bad several rattles, which, according to
snakeoiogy, lnuicatedia age to be nine
years. The hole in the box was at once
plugged up and the 'package' removed from
the office. The agent at Pittston was at
once telegraphed concerning the matter
who replied that the box contained ten large
rattlesnakes, and were intended for a 'snake-
charmer,' who bad contracted for them.
The box was taken to the river tu the alter
noon, and after giving it and its contents a
good soaking, it was opened and the balance

" Improvement of Fire Arms. '
Greater progress hat bcon made within
tbe past few years, in the Improvement of
weapons or war than in any otucr imple
ment, not excepting those of agriculture.
Tbe rate at. which men can now be killed,
fortresses destroyed, navies annihilated, and
wars conducted, exceeds anything ever be
fore conceived of. There was a time when
the spear, the lance, tbe arrow and the bat
tering ram, were the most destructive arms
in use, and when contests lasted for genera
tions. The Minnie rifle and the Wbitworth
cannon were as much superior to those pri
mitive weapons as the latest improvement is
to them. . The needle gun of nerf Von
Drcyse was the instrument by Which Prussia
in six months, overthrew the power of Aus
tria, and now Van Dreyse's invention is put
iuto the shade by the Chasaepot rifle, lately
introduced into the French arm v.' The Em.
peror and Prince Oscar, of Sweden, recently
witnessed a trial of this rifle at Vincennes.
A regiment was placed at 000 yards from
the mark, and the . results obtained, were
quite extraordinory. After a period of nre-
cisely two minutes, the trumpet sounded the
can io cease nnng. it was then found that
the battalion, 600 strong, had fired 8,000
balls, of which 1,003 had struck the line of
object aimed at. Some of tbe persons pre
sent, however, affirmed that better practice
bad been obtained both at Chalons and Sa-
tory, and that the men were under a certain
emotion from firing for the first time in pre
sence of bis Majesty. All the ground imme
diately in tront of the mark was cut up. by
the balls in such a way as not to show a
blade of gross left. The Emperor uttered
an exclamation which graphically depicts
the result : fit is frightful I It is a positive
massacre 1" The needle gun, destructive as
it is, is evidently surpassed by this new in
strument. ,....
iierr von jureyse uas also invented a
double-barreled cannon, without powder,
smoke, or report. This novel catapult
which, it may have struck the reader, is con
structed upon tbe same principle of centri
fugal force active in mau's oldest principle,
the sling may, it is asserted, be made to
hurl from sixty to several hundred balls to
ward one point in a minute. ...
Another German, it is reported, has in
vented a four-barreled cannon, each barrel
of which will fire sixty balls per minute. ,
in small lire arms, also, the spirit of in
vention is active. It will be remembered
that a Mr. Carr wat shot in Brooklyn.- by
means of an "air gun," which made no more
noise than the crack of a small whipcord.
This weapon is simply a tube of about three
leet in length, hollow throughout, and made
of highly wrought iron. It is divided into
two nearly equal lengths, the upper part
toward the head forming tbe air chamber,
and tho lower half the barrel from which
the projectile ia discharged. The air cham
ber once filled, thirty bullets may be dis
charged without replenishing, but not more
than one-tenth can be relied upon to pene
trate the object. The distance at which tbe
weapon is effective is from 20 to 150 feet.
The noise which accompanies the discharge
being scarcely perceptible, tho gun becomes
a very dangerous instrument in tho bands j
of an assassin. In tbe murder referred to,
had not the police officer been in cIosq prox
imity to the sceno ai, the time and observed
the fall of the victim and the flight of the
murderer, tbe deed might have forever re
mained a mystery.
We cannot but regard these formidable
weapons as likely to hasten the time when
"nations shall learn war no more." One
nation will be able to destroy the army and
navy of another, in a few days, and this
conviction cannot but have the effect to di
minish the chances of war, for when dis
putes arise there will be greater anxiety to
settle without resort to a method by which
the uncertainties of war may consign them'
to utter destruction, or perpetual subjuga
tion. Toledo Blade. ... ' '
That's Very Odd.
A gentleman was recounting his travels
one evening, after dinner, to a friend, and
commenced in this way :
"When I was traveling in Russia I was
attacked in crossing a forest by a pack of
twelve wolves, and from my postchaise
window I fired my revolver aud killed tbe
first wolf, and strange to say, his compan
ions stopped and devoured bim, and then
came on again to the fight. I shot another
and my postilion killed a third, both of
which were devoured, and so we went on
until only one wolf remained, aud I killed
bim as we were entering the town, audi
observed that he was immensely fat. He, of
course, bad devoured all bis companion's."
"Dear me," said the friend, "that's very
odd." , i
"Very odd," said tbe traveler ; "but not
nearly so odd as that which happened on
the following day. I was out shooting an
telopes, and fired at one as he stood on tbe
top of a crag, and odd to say, tbe ball passed
through bis neck and killed another which
was standing on a crag a quarter of a mile
off." . ;
"That's very odd," said the friend.
"Yea ; but the odd part of the story is to
come. Tbe report of my rifle so alarmed an
old he bear which happened to be in a tree,
that be fell to the ground, broke his neck,
and died on the spot"
"Well," said tbe Iriend, "upon my aoul,
that's very odd."
: "Yes, . odd," said the traveler; "but not
so odd as the sequel to my story : A thun
derstorm came on, aud I sought refuge in a
hollow tree, and, to my botror, I descended
into a nest of young bears, where I bad not

Chemistry had proven that lime acts both
as a manure and also In a mechanical man
ner. It not only enters into the circulation
of plants as a manure, but also loosens tho
soil.
In the application of lime, it is important
to know what crop or crops require the most,
and aro consequently the most benefited by
it. ...
It haajjeen calculated that a rotation of '
five years, (corn, oats, wheat, and gross for
hay,) removes from the soil 242 pounds of
pure lime, which is equivalent to about 430
fiounds ot Blacked lime in tne form in which
t is usually applied. But these different
crops contain lime in very different propor
tions, runs, an acre oi corn, say ou bushels,
contains of lime in the grain 14 pounds, iu
tbe stalk and 'leaves 89 pounds ; oats 40
bushels per acre, contains in the grain 8.(1
and in the straw 12.8 pounds of lime ; . 25
bushels of wheat per acre will remove id the
grain 2.4, and in the straw 10.7 pounds of
lime, two crop of gross will each removu
140 pounds of lime per nere.' .
A crop of turnips will remove from the
soil 140 pounds of lime to every acre ; while
tbe same area in potatoes will lose 870
pounds, of which 250 is in tbe tops, which,
are seldom removed from the soil. '
Thus we see why lime is more beneficial
to some crops than to others.
' From this we see wby lime is so beneficial
to clover and other grasses.' -','''
But tbiB is not the only manner in which
lime acts ; it also affects the . vegetable sub
stances with which it meets in the soil, and
fits them for plant food,
But you will say that I have not accounted
for near all the lime which we apply to our
soils. This is true, for not more than one
twentieth of it enters into the circulation of
the plants, and not more than four-twentieths
are consumed by the organic matter
in the soil, leaving three-fourths of thu
amount to be accounted for in other ways.
All know the tendency which lime has to
sink into the soil, and in this manner a
largo portion (especially if plowed in) gets
below tbe plow, and is useless for want of
the presence of air. 1
, Would it then not be more economical to
apply the lime at shorter periods aud in
smaller quantities r '

WtraMberrlew Inquiry , , ,
. Friekd Fbeab, Will you oblige an ama
teur farmer with a little information in re
gard to tbe cultivation of strawberries ? I
have a bed ot tbe Agriculturist variety, and
they hove some very fine berries on, but they
have commenced running very much. Now,
while I need the runners to increase the bed,
I am afraid they take tbe streneth awav
from the vine and reduce tbe sizo of the ber
ry, and I do not know whether it is better
to pull them off or not, as I have no expe
rience with tlsem. Again, the loaves are so
abundant that the sun has very little chance
to get at the berries, and I hove been tempt
ed to pull them off on several occasions, but
not knowing what effect it would have on
the plant, I desisted.
w ill you also tell me which are tbe best
runners to increase witb, as I notice some of
them I set out lost year bave no berries on
this, nor any signs of having any 1
Replt. All strawberries will run if al
lowed to do so.. When they are planted in
hills and wish to be so continued, the runners
must be cut off. Some growers prefer bills,
others full beds, allowing tbe vines to run at
pleasure. The runners do not affect tho
strength of the main plant, as they soon
take root and set up fur themselves. The
leaves will not interfere with tbe ripening of
the fruit and should not be removed. Plants
set out in the spring ought to give half a
crop the ensuing season. Those set out in
the fall rarely produce any worth mention,
ing. If our inquirer wishes to have a bed
of- "broadcast" strawberries that is not in
bills he must let the runners alone. If hills
they must be removed by cutting, not pull
ing. It is as easy to raise a bed of straw
berries as it is a bed of onions. Sometimes,
owing to the location of tbe bed, the condi
tion of tbe soil, or a very moist winter, the
crop may fail so may any other crop. But
we must, in such event, pick our flints and
try again. Ed. Qcrmantovin Telegraph.
