BARBERY HEDGES. —The common Bar
berry ( Berber is vvlgoris,) will grow in
almost any soil or situation. We have
seen it growing vigorously in the sandy
soils of New Jersey, as well as in the
stiff, clayey lands of* Northern New York
and Canada. It is not as rapid-growing
a plant as the Osage Orange, but will
produce shoots one to three feet long in
a single season. The form of the bush
is compact; many shoots springing from
the base of the main stem, therefore
requiring very little pruning to make it
sufficiently dense to turn pigs or cattle.
From four to six years win le required
to produce a good serviceable hedge.
The seed can be obtained of any dealer
in seeds, if ordered early in tall, and
they she uhl be sown before winter, or at
least mixed with sand and put where
they will freeze during cold weather
There are several varieties of the Bar
berry, also a native species found in the
Alleghany Mountains ; bat none of them
are equal to the common sort (the one
named above) for a hedge.—/?*™/ Xrtr

RENOVATING PASTURES —OId pastures
are often greatly deteriorated in produc
tiveness and quality bv the incoming of
moss The lighter tie soil the sooner
the moss makes its appearance, and the
wider the area it occupies. We have
known old pastures made nearly unpro
ductive from the growth. So long as the
soil is abundantly rich with grass food,
moss will not come in ; wheu that begins
t® foil, a class of plants that draw differ
ent elements from the soil—a lower and
coarser type of vegetable growth—is pro
duced. The best old pastures, those
that seem to improve with age, occupy
soil that is naturally extremely rich, deep
and taoist enough to fsvor the grqps. On
such favored locations pasture improves
with age, because the turf thickens, and
the herbtge becomes fine and sweet
This process goes on for years—for a
lifetime—and people talk of permanent
pastures. But the best will fail with
age, when the store of plant food is ex
hausted, unless ,it be kept good by arti
ficial means. The law of growth, matur
ity and decay holds good with the best
pasture as well as with the poorest; only
it requires more time to complete the
cycle.
The moot practical way of renovating
old pastures is to plow, crop with grain,
manure and re-seed, but ns it is not
always desirable to take this course, top
dressing may be resorted to as the next
best expedient. Strong liquid manure
will keep up and improve grass lands,
and effectually restrain the growth of
mow. For lawns and small patches of
pasture this is the best means, to adopt-
As a dry manure, nitrate of soda is one
of the best, because it is readily dissolved
and thus placed in the only available
form for appropriation by* the grass
roots, in which any fertilizer can be
used by them, and it likewise supplies
the needed elements. Farmyard manure,
spread on the surface, will* force a good
growth for a single season, but it is not
a profitable use for so valuable a manure.
Fresh earth, or that made from the decay
of sods, is one of the most satisfactory
dressings to apply to old grass land. The
effect of earth alone is remarkable, and
considering the cost and the benefit, this
material is most profitable for common
use.— American Rural Home.

THE first census of Great Britain was

souls. In 1841 the total population was
27,724.849, and in 1861 the number was
swelled to 29,321,288. A similar increase
for the last decade will give 30,000,000,
or a little more than three-fourths the
number in the United States. London

The s}>ecial object of this meeting was
to discuss a plan proposed by Charles

ova for the coming season by operations
upon the Penobscot river. The plan
contemplates the buying of a number
of salmon—two or three hundred—alive,
as taken from the ponds or weirs, and
keeping them in a suitable spawning
place until the season, when the eggs
will be taken in a race prepared for this
purpose. It is supposed that the ova
will be obtained at a much less price than
the Canadian government now demands.
A WOMAN RCLEB.—The Kulmaks are

with the chief of Taranchia. Her hair,
he said, hung in long tresses down her
back. They were so heavy with gold
coins and other precious ornaments that
they had to be supported by two men as
she walked. It might be premature as
yet to follow the example of this old lady
of Dzungaria Proper, but there can be
no doubt that bank notes might be used
as curlpaper with the most pleasing ef
fect, ana tnat any young lady appearing
with head thus adorned would not suffer
from any lack of admirers.
What Is la be W art 1.
Evening dresses, according to authority
in dress matters, will lie made long,

The materials for toilettes am mom
varied and pretty than ever, and there
has never lieeii so great s variety of
colors aud shnds. Those moat ill fa
vor will lv, of course, mora delicate in
tint than those worn in the winter. We
have seen some lovely shades of |iearl
gray, mauve, green, and the most deli
cate tones, of IHUS color, in very many
materials ; but m none do they appear
to MI great an odxaiit tgv as the very
favorite and fashionable Danish silk

to lie a very great success. It lias all the
appearance* of the verv liest foulard,

reversible, and uiakes the most charming
demi-toilette*. Under muslin or grena
dine it has all the ap|ic*rnnce of a very
good silk.
Hounets am not to lie worn *0 high as
formerly. The trimming is still worn
ou the crown, which gives the appearance
of height, though the sha|n themselves
am lower.
Them is 110 end to the variety of
sha|ie iu hats. We have seen several
for this season of colored straw, gray
being the most mrAcrcAs. For more
dressy invasions they will lie made of
lace or silk.
Feathers will be very fashionable,
either for hats or lain nets ; indeed, we
have seen some tiiat appeared to be en
tirely composed of these favorite orna
ments, and had a very een convicted of an attempt im
properly to luflncnce a trial, and the

partial mind, and to keep pure the course
of justice in Virginia. I know not bow
better I can justify your expectation and

the laws of the Stat*-, than by imposing
ujion you the highest js-uldty of the

SEVEN MAXIMS. —The Wisconsin
Journalt/ Etiuotlitm gives seven maxims
for teachers, which are worthy of con
sideration : Never toll a child what vou
don't quite know. Never give s piece
of information without asking for it
again. Never use a hard word if an easy
one will convey yur nieauing, and nev
er use any word at all unless you are
quite sure it has meaning to couvev.
Never liegin an address or a lesson with
out a clear view of its end. Never give
an unnets-ssary command, nor one which
yon do not mean obeyed. Never per
mit any ehild to remain in the class,
even for a minute, without baring some
thing to do, and a motive for doing it.
THE COAL QUESTION. —At a meeting of
the operators of the Schuylkill region,
the following schedule of wage* was
unanimously adopted : "We propose
to jmy yon the balance of this year the
followiug rates : Outside laborer, 810
per week : inside bdmrer, 811 per week ;
miners by day's work, 818 per week ;
and a reduction of ten per cent, upon
contract work upon the prices paid un
der the three dollar rate of the lmsis of
1869. We wish yon to distinctly under
stand that we do not desire to interfere
with your association in any manner
whatever."
In Oregon, as in all new countries,
money commands a high rate of interest.
Twelve per cent in gold can be readily
obtained for the u*e of greenbacks, oil
the best real estate security. One ]>er
cent, a month is the. rate established by
law, or no donht a higher one would
rule. In Washington Territory, whore
there is no limit, it is twenty per rent.,
aud often twenty-four. A few years
ago, before there was any law on the
subject, eight or ten per cent, a month
was not uncommon.
THE following amounts of cranberries
were marketed in 1869. Maine produced
1,000 liarrels; Massachusetts. 8,000;
Connecticut, 2,000 ; New Jersey, 50,000
—principally from cultivated Acids. At
nineteen stations on the St. Paul and
Milwaukee Railroad 14,587 barrels were
freighted during the berry season of the
same year. A ten-acre lot in New Jersey
produced in one year 900 bushels—value
.*6,000. The owner was offered and re
fused 82,000 per acre for his lot
THREE LIVES LOST.— Two daughters, 10
and 14 years old, of John McNamara, of
Collinsville, Conn., failed to retnrn home
Wednesday night, after being sent out
on an arrand. On Thursday morning
the river was dragged, and their bodies,
with that of Michael Glynn, a laliorer,
were found. It is supposed that they
fell from the foot-board bridge into the
water, anil that Glynn lost his life in at
tempting to rescue them.
VALUE OF VINEYARDS. —Three Cali
fornia Commissioners appointed to award
damages to a grape-grower for injury
done his vineyard, near Folsom, by the
construction of a canal through it, al
lowed him 819,000, or 82,000 per acre.
Several witnesses testified that his vines
were worth 8250,000, and that 85,000
vines yielded from 600 to 700 tons of
grapes annually, which at 850 per ton,
would amount to 835,000.
Of the four million deaths recorded
in England and Wales from 1851-1860,

Some Tears ago a book, by writers of

was thnt'a mercenary mother jterauaded

An eeeentrie old gentleman, unmarried,
unl reputed to bo very rieh, recently
made his will. He bequeathed £IO,OOO
to the General Hospital, and a like sum
to the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel in Foreign Parts. To one relative
he left £1,01)0, and legacies to the amount
of £SO were numerous. The total amount
lieqneathed amounted to £45,000. The
expectant legabH's were very demonstra
tive in their thanks. Presents of wiue,
game and other good thiugs were sent in
profusion. The old gruthnmn wo-s
courted by more than one lady whose
early youth was passed. He died at the
age of eighty-four a few days since, and
the friend at whose honse he breathed
his lost honored his remains with an
expensive fuueraJ. Tnis friend had also
die melancholy satisfaction of paying
the expenses, for the testator died con

A FINOKR SUIT.—A man in Detroit,
named Charles Marshal, recently sued a
gentleman for the possession of his fin
ger. Marshal had lost it by bringing it
into too close juxtaposition to a circular
saw. His friend found it, took it home,
placed it in a jar of spirits, and intended
to use it as a start for a private museum.
Marshal heard of this fact and the suit
in question was the consequence.

sixteen years ago she and her husband

a national school in Gloucester. Her
husband lost his situation through drink-,

I found Honuct Carre Crevasse 1,100;
