A Back Jumper.
Australian squatters in general are excel-
I ni and fearless riders, mounting horses fresh
from the bush, untamed, unbroken, and full
of many vices, -particularly the formidable
nne of buck jumping, in a way that would
astonish many an English rough' rider and
steeple-chase jockey. Mr. F was re
markable for his powers in this way. He
had a large mob of horses on his run, and
they were generally notorious for their buck
jumping propensities, and I remember his ac
companying me one day on my return from
his house in the diggins, mounted on an ani
mal just driven into his stock-yard from the
bush. The forest here and every where else
in Australia, is covered with the blackened
trunks of trees of every size that have fallen
victims to tire, and it is a usual thing for men
well mounted to take a straight line across it,
leaping over such logs as are practicable.—
We were amusing ourselves in this manner
when we came to one of (ho prostrate giants
of the forest, which, although my horse was
a very good one, I should never have attempt
ed to jump, and did not imagine F on
the little ill-conditioned weed he was riding
would think of doing. I was astonished how,
ever, to observe him dig his spurs into the
beast's sides, rush him at it, and as I anlici
pa'ed, make a clean sommeisault over the
trunk of a tree about four feet high and fully
as many broad—horse and man absolutely
turning in the air. F was accustomed
to this kind of practice (as he broke in his
own horses) and knew 1 exactly how to throw
himself off on one side; and in this instance
without quitting his hold of the bridle, was
on the horde’s back again in an instant, and
with whip and spur urged him on to the
charge again. The same result occurred a
second lime, and now I thought it really was
lime to interfere, and not allow my friend to
break his neck without some remonstrance
on my part. He merely waved his hand,
land said that he could'not afford to spoil his
, horses by sacrificing to my philanthropy,
lind ramming him at the leap a third lime,
cleared it like a buck, observing that bad he
not persisted in making him jump the log, he
would have been spoiled for ever, and of no
use as a slock horse, but that now in all prob
ability, he would turn out well. This was a
young animal, between three and four years
old. Nothing can equal a confirmed buck
jumper in equine depravity, and he is rarely,
if ever thoroughly cured of vice. After the
most quiet and docile behavior for weeks and
even months, and whilst traveling at an easy
pace and loosened rein, the rider finds him
self summarily ejected high up into the air,
and thence over his steed's head, by a series
of gymnastics, yclept buck jumping, which
some sudden caprice or olden recollections
have caused him to execute. He fixes his
head firmly between his knees, curves up his
hack and body into the shape of a ball, erects
his tail, and simultaneously makes a spring
and a kick (hat would unsedl almost anv
horseman either unprepared or otherwise.—

Difference in Cows.
Cows, under ceriain constitutional circum
stances, are naturally disposed to convert
their food into fat—so much so that there is
great difficulty in keeping some classes in a
breeding stale, more especially improved
Short Horns, Devons and Herefords. Turn
a cow of this description into rich grass, and
she is soon useless for anything but the sham
bles. The quality of the milk she gives may
be fine, but the quantity almost nothing.—
We had a Devon, which carried off the prize
of her class at one of the Royal Agricultu
ral Society’s meetings, not giving more than
one quart at a milking.
On the other hand, there is a class of cows
naturally inclined to turn all their food into
the pail. Turn a cow of this kind along with
the one above, and she will rather get poorer
every day, if the milk is taken from her,
while her plump and sleek rival is gaining
weight. The former will consume greatly
more grass and water than the latter, return
ing for it in proportion a still greater quantitv.
When fed on sour grains, distillers’ wash,
&c., the quantity sometimes yielded is almost
incredible. When such is the case, hojvever,
life is generally short, especially if cows are
in a low slate at calving. Hence the reason
why dairy men purchase near calves.
The above two classes may be called ex
tremes, between which there is a mean, and
this Iqller class of cows, if turned into a rich
pasture along with the others, would keep
themselves in good condition, and give a me
dium quantity of milk, the quantity depend
ing upon the richness of the food. —Mark
Lane Express.
Rum Did It.—Gerrit Smith, in a recently
published letter, makes the following allu
sions to the late Preston S. Brooks:
“The nation would not have been deprived
of the services of Charles Sumner, had Con
gress, before Brooks fell upon him, been wil
ling to be moved by a temperance speech or
by any other cause to put a stop to the sale
of intoxicating drinks in the city of Wash,
ington. Boor Brooks ! I became acquainted
with him in Congress, and found him to be a
frank, pleasant man. He allowed me to
speak freely to him of his habit of drinking
liquor. He promptly confessed his sorrow
for it, and added that he would be glad to sub
scribe to a congressional temperance pledge.
But for liquor he would never have commined
his enormous crime.
Young Fruit Trees. —Young fruit trees
which lack vigor of growth from 100 poor a
soil, should be stimulated with a good coaling
of old manure spread round them and spaded
in as soon as the frost leaves the ground.
AH fruit trees, except of the largest which do
not stand in ground kept constantly cultiva
ted by the hoe, should have the soil for seve
ral feet kept well spaded round them. Soap
, suds, especially for peach trees, are fine.
A sensitive Pennsylvania editor says :•
“Somebody brought one bottle of sour water
into our office, with the request to notice it
a* lemon beer. If Esau was green enough
to sell his birthright for a mess of pottage,
it does not prove that we will tell a four shil
ling lie for five cents.*’

Village would rcspectiully call Hie attention of the
public to the followingadvcrlisement. “Man wan's
but little here below nor wants that little long 1 * is
an old saying and perhaps true to a certain extents
Cut it seems to me that in tills time of general
suspension and panic, everything is lending to a
reversion of lime-honored sayings, and everybody
wants a little more still. The farmers (and they
really ought to have as much as anybody, for they
are to our country what a mainspring is to a watch,)
wants a little more lor their wheat, buckwheat,rye,
corn, oats, potatoes, &c., than the purchaser feels
able and willing to pay. The merchant wants a
little more for his Flour, Pork, Salt, Dry Goods,
Bools & Shoes, Hals & Caps, Hardware, Crockery
and ten thousand little things he has to sell than
the farmer thinks he ought to pay.
At this present time it seems to be conceded by
all that the cash value of good wheat is $1 per
bushel; buckwheat, 2 to 2-6; corn 3-6 to 4-6;
oats, 2 to 2-6; butter, 14 to 1C cents. Now to
equalize the matter and make it satisfactory on both
sides, I want and will agree tu take from every
farmer of Tioga county, all the wheat I can get
for the next 60 days at 9 and 10 shillings per bush

corn sto 3-6: oats 2-9 to 3 shillings; butler 16 to

nally agreed upon by Parrels & Herringand Evans
& Watson, placed side by side in a furnace, viz:
The Safe in use by the Paymaster of the Philadel
phia and Reading Railroad Company, in his office
at Reading, manufactured by Parrels & Herring,
and the safe in use by H.;A. Lantz,in his store,
manufactured by Evans die. Watson,and putinbooks
and papers precisely alike; ■
The fire was started at|B£ o'clock, A. M., and
kept up until four cords of green hickory, two cords
dry oak and half chestnut top wood were entirely
consumed, the whole under-the superintendence of
the subscribers, members of the Committee. The
Safes were tiien cooled off with water, after which
they were opened and the books and papers taken
out by the Committed and l sent to H. A. Laniz’s
store for public examination, after they were first
examined and marked by the Committee. The
books and papers taken from the Safe manufactured
by Evans &. Watson were but slightly affected by
the intense heat, while those taken from the Safe
manufactured by Parrels & Herring, were in our
judgment, damaged fully! fifteen per cent more than
those taken from Evans & Watson's Safe.
We believe the above t!o have been a fair and im
partial trial of the respective qualities of both Sales.
