Their use for this purpose was suggested to the Puritans by Squauto, an Indian, who told tbem that the way the natives man aged to raise corn was by putting three herrings into each I*ll. The Doctor alsc remarked that the great valne of the overflowing of the Nile was the fact that the deposit it left on the land was com posed of millions of infusoria] animals. This fertilizing material, so rich in ani mal matter, had made Egypt the granarv of the old world. He also alluded to the custom of burying dead animals near twos, so that they may derive the benefit of the fertilizing matter contain ed in the muscles, and the phoa £ hates in the bones as the bodies decay, [r. Bruen told how a friend of bi bought a farm of poor land for 82,000. This farm was manured with M>s Bunkers, spread all over thickly, and ploughed under, after which a crop of wheat was sowed. The proceeds were forty bushels to the acre on seventy acre*, which he sold for 31.50 a bushel, and thus paid for the place twice over with the first crop, afld it was the fish that did it.' Dr. Gro well said that where Moss Bunkers were used continually, the land becomes sour after the thin! year, and -will not produce a crop. The* same re mit is noticed with fish guano. HABVESTTNO HAT EARLY. —Mr. H. L. Readc read the following paper on the importance of. harvesting hav earlv, in the Farmer's Club: "In 1869, the* hay crop in the United States amounted to 19,291,128 tons, worth at least 8191,- 291,280. Eleven years have increased this by at least one-third, so that the cr'p m 1870 was at least 30,000,000 tons, worth 8300 000,000. Making alow es timate one-sixteenth of the value of this crop is l change the grass into what civilization calls hay while in the ful ness of its growth and always before its maturity; and thus it is that when for months not a green thing is eaten by the herds or roving animals, they are found to be in better flesh at the* end than at the beginning. If the grass reached completeness in its growth and seeding before being dried, cattle eating it would die of starvation rather than thrive. Science as well as observation demonstrates the necessity of en early hay harvest. Grass is the natural food of animal*, and before the plant reaches its maturity it oontains all the elements needed to make a perfect aliment in the best pos-ible combination and in the best possible proportion. AJterwards, the nature of the plant changes, and reprodnction, not force—if we may put it in this phrase—becomes the ultimate object If, therefore, farmers would se cure the best and most valuable hay crop, grass should be cut while the seed-vessels are forming, and never after they are formed. Haying therefore, should be commenced, ou an average, ten days earlier than it is. There may be a little loss at the beginning in the bulk, possi bly in the weight, "in consequence of the immaturity of the erop; but the lose would le none at the end, by the change in the nature of the plant from a juicy, saccharine combination into something that acta simply as a stiff, horny holder for the vessels containing the matured seed." .

A PETBOTKD BIRD'S NEST AND EOOS. —A correspondent of the &ientific American says : The most remarkable petrifaction I ever saw was found in the mining ground of Mc-sia. Nichols and Ennis, in the You Bet mining district, in California. It consisted of a bird's nest and eggs thoroughly ailicified, the eggs retaining their natural size and Bhu{ie. Tlie nest was somewhat flatten ed, and what hod evidently been the straws and twigs of which it hod in for mer times been composed were like threads of glass. Some of the eggs were broken before the nest was discovered ; the shells seemed thickened, but very little, if any. What had apparently been the inside of the egg was now like a little dab of glass. Tins nest was t iken from the fork of a large fossil tree, where it bad been for ages, undisturbed in its cosy resting place, until wood, nest and eggs had passed away, and their place and form being assumed by the silex of which the fossil was composed.

It appear* that tho ox ports of Petroleum iu 18 iU wore 37 per cent, gmitrr than those of the previous vear, ami that nearly all this Ittomiso, or 33 jwr cent., i accounted for bv tho shipment* from tho port ol Now York, The total export from the Unites) State* iu 1870 wo* 141,208,155 gallon*- against 1,500,000 gallons in 1800. ami 00,281,000 gallons in 1868 ; showiug an increase of nearly 42.000.000 in two year*. The #rt sale noticed for export aas in May, 1801. when 10,000 gallon* were sent to foreign market*. Antwerp, which ha* since led all other j*>rt* iu tho iiujvortatioa of Petroleum, took in that year 5,071 gwlloua, increas ing tho amount in the following year to more tlutn 800,000 gallon*. Great j Britain took 579,000ga110ns in 1861—and ui 1802 increased her importation to 3,238,000 gallon*. The continuedgrowth of this trade for ten rears—front 1,500,- 000 gallon* in 1860, to 141,000,000 in 1870—i* a wonderful exhibit, not only ou account of the rapid development of the oil interest, but also twcanaa the yearly increase ha* been steady. The dailv average prod net of tho Pennsyl vania oil district in December, 1867. *it> 10,4r gallon, j represent* a value of more than $42,1X10,- 000 for a single year—certainly a remark able return for a product unknown to j Commerce ten years ago. Heaths in Pari*. Dr. W. E Johnston, a well-known j American physician iu Paris, lout called I the atteution of Miui'U r Waohbume to the fact that exaggerated reports of mor tality in Paris have been circulated, and as evidence of fact given the statement, which exhibits the number of deuths iu Paris for the recent week, as compared with those of Loudon for a similar nue, .aid also as compared with the deaths in ' I aris for the corresponding week in 1870, The official statement of the i Physician of the Prefecture of the Seine shews that in Paris, with a population of 1,825,247, according to the census of 1 866, there were, from the 10th to the 16th June, of the present year, a total of I,2so,deaths, of which 1,018 wowfrom causes not specified, in London, with a population, according to the census of 1871, of 3,258,509. from the 20th May to the 2d June, the total number of deaths was 1,393, of which 896 were from causes uot sj>ecified The rejHirt shows that there were sixteen cases of small pox in Paris and 229 iu London. If the deaths from wounds, included under the head of other causes, be deducted. Parts exhibits a better state of health luring the same period of last ye.ir. It appears by the table that the sanitary condition of Paris is satisfactory, aud that no epidemic prevails. The number of deaths during the corresponding week of 1870 was 1,144. Ainoug the deaths of the present week there has twen no exceptional number of acci dental deaths. A BLOODY FlOHT.— Details of the re ceut bloody fight iu E ton Rapid*. Mich., between some of the town-oeople and the attaches of a menagerie, show that it vaa caused by the refusal of the door keeper to admit a little girl on a half price ticket. She came with her father aud mother. The refusal given rise to some word*, aud the door-keeper knock ed the father down. He imm'-diately went to a neighboring brick-yard aud collected a crowd of men, who proceed ed to the canvas, and soon succeeded in getting into a low with the attaches of the concern. One of th<- attacking party was hit on the head with a brick and instantly killed, aud several others were desperately wounded. Nearly at the end of thi? fight one of the menagerie men made an attack upon an inoffensive fanner stauding by. threw bis arm around the old man's neck. and pro ceeded to pouud him on the head with a stone. This rascal was nrresb d upon a charge of "assault, with intent to kill," and lie w*s the only man taken in charge by the Police. AN INDIAN Hrso.—The Lake port {CaL) Arnlmchr. says: At half-past twelve o'clock, the jury summoned, and visitors and Indians invited, were admitted into the jail court to witness the execution of 'lndian Tom,' the murderer of Daniel Wedig. Up to the time that the Indian was brought from his cell he contended that Indians 'Francisco' and 'Jim' were equally as guilty as himself—decluriug most positively that they assisted in the murder. When taken from the cell to the scaffold be walked with a firm, steady step, and apparently fully self-possessed. He said he 'wished to told them not to steal, not to do anything wrong ; to be good, and God would forgive them ; not to gamble or drink whiskey ; uot play cards ; not to stole anything ; not to do wrong, and God would stive them ; God made Indian and white mnn ail same.

His HiccEsa. A atory cornea from Delaware of an eccentric philosopher who has paid the penalty of iiis criminal attempt to enlighten mankind. To some extent he did eulighteii that abstraction, but uot as he intended to do. He hud some theory or other in regard to the use of parachutes which he absurdly connected with pyrotechnic*, aud so, uu the Fourth of July, shortly after dusk, he clandestinely erected in hi* yard a huge sky-rocket, to the head of which was attached bis jmrachnte, in such a way that while the rocket was seeking the moon it would remaiu closed, but when its upward motion cea ed it would theoretically open like an umbrella, aud thus waft him safely to tlie ground, He attached himself to the lower end of the stick with the fuse turned away from him in such away that the fire from tlie rocket would not injure hiin. Then he blared aray aud went whirring through the air, dangling and liobbingas he sped, with fire fastening itself upon him somewhat "like th" pale martyr in his shirt of fin*." If tits parachute ever ojiened he did not know it, for presently those who beheld the wondrous engine saw it turn sharply in mnl-sir, and it fell. The poor fool was fo*nd burnt and mangled uot far from hi# own philosophy shop. A Female Awoxiit. —Mm Maggie Seitz, who went up in a balloon from Columbus, Ohio, biul rather an unpleas ant experience. tSoou after starting, the ropes connecting the Itaaket witu the balloon caught on the end of a broken limb of a tree, ldO feet from the ground. The inflated part lient over the topmost branches, the heated air began to escape, and the throng of spectators rushed with up-turu d faces toward the sturdy tree's base, crving, "Oh 1 she'll fall, she'll fall!" Meanwhile Mia* Seitz stood iu the basket, apparently with firm nerve and complete presence of mind. Far dowu below her, forty feet from the ground, was a lifeless limb. Tlicre was no limb below it, and to reach this, by climbing, two or three young men essayed in vain. The fonrh succeeded, and tied a rope to the first liiub, bv which two others follow, d. taking with them a stronger rope. This thev carried to the top, threw it over a substantial limb, and then fastened the balloon basket securely to it. Bv thi* means, with men ou the ground holding the rope. Miss Seitz was triuipbsutly lower ed, ainid the lou.l acclaims of the specta tors, who stood in great awe for as much as an hour to see what fate would betide her.

A C'RCEL MIRDKJL—Miss Joan Mc- Cormick, seventeen yearn old. eldest daughter of a wealthy farmer's widow living in DrKalb Counrr, Illinois, was shot and instantly killed, while sitting at the supper-table with her mother, her brother and sinter. The murder was committed by an ignorant farm hand uatned John need, who luul worked for her mother three season*, aud the only cause was that the young ladr had re fused to accompany him to a Fourth of July celebration. Reed tired two shots through the window from a double-bar reled shot-gun, the first charge entcriug her brain aud killing her instantly, the m cood pissing over the head of a little sister sitting in range, and lodging in the ceiling. Reed returned the gun to a neighbor from whom he had borrowed it, and fled. Forty men on horseback scoured the country, and messengers were dispatched to various railroad sta tions, some even going to Aurora and Chicago, to intercept h s flight. NKHT UITJ.IH.NU.—La Vaillfuit give* a carious account of the prtwess of build ing by a little African w&rbler, which shows that u very beautiful net may In* built up with very little art. The foun dation was formed of moss aud flax, in terwoven with groan and tufts of cotton, and presented a rude ma**, five or six inches in diameter and four incite* thick. Thin was prewsrd and trampled down rc- JM atedlv, thus making it into a kind of felt. 'Die birds pressed it with their bodies, turning round upon them at every direction ; anas to get it quite firm and smooth Itefore raising the sides. These were added bit by hit,and trimmed and beaten with the wings and feet, in order to felt the whole b-gether, project ing fibres being now and then worked in with the bill Jly these simple and in efficient means, the inner aurfaiNi of the nost was made almost as smooth and compart as a piece of cloth.— Shift and soft. WHAT HE OID SOT WANT.—A kiml hcarUxl little spouse, bonneted and shawled, very recently appeared at the door of a room where her good-natured liege lord wan about to indulge iu a com fortable snooze. '* My dear, I am going shopping. What shall I bring to comfort you ?" " I don't think of any thing I want particularly jnat now. Come and kiss me. I will tell you, however, what I don't want you to bring me." " What is it, pray ?" " Pray don't bring ma in dabt." THE VERY LATEST.— The last rat story lis from Chicugo. In a house where the rata had buen very troublesome, traps had long been set, but to no purpose. Finally some of the family determined to watch the trap. It waa cunningly set. Boon a young rat appeared and was about stepping on the lata! spring, when an old rat rushed to the rescue, seized the indiscreet juvenile by the tail, and dragged bun off to the hole.

But there thev move in large liautU. Wagons filled witii luggage of every variety and description—beds and kettles snd tents —with the swarthy heads of the women uud children peering above the mass, present a curious tableau. A cloud of dust usually marks the coutse of the miserable procession, out of which ariae discordant, aouuda, cries, and frightful oaths Establishing themselves in tlie neighborhood of n large town, they ply their various vocations, —chief among which are horse-trading, theft, and for tuue-tcliiug. it ia singulai how this strange, wandering people should u<>t only arrogate to themselves the power to ioretell the future, but everywhere llud such multitudes to believe them. Pi-rbupa it is their isolated wild life ami mysterious appearance that make them seem like Iwiiig* connected with the sii|iertiatutal, and give them such power over laith men aud women. A Itussiau traveler iu hi* rambles through Caucasus oatne ii|>on u band of these, and made sketches of some of the most marked characters. H* found that a little money would am-ttre a sitting, snd he began his work. But he had completed only a few faces las fore a rupture of a comical character occurred One day the whole band crowded annuel him, loading liim with reproaches, and heaping all aorta of opprobrious epithet* upon him. It turn ed out that the hand of one of the band, whose portrait he had sketched, had heroine dtseaaed, and they lea|>ed at once to the conclusion that some sort of poiou hail been inoculated in the prone-a of taking the likeness, and they eried out as he approached, " You are u iteiuou,—you bring dineaeea UJKJU us." They had no idea at first of the object of the artist iu desiring a sitting, or in fuet what he was after—they thought only of the pay they were to receive. But when they saw the likeness of them selves produced on the paper they were astonished, and looked upon it as a specie# of necromancy. The effect was ludicrous. Home, on seeing themselves as it were in a mirror, laughed outright like children,—others became auspicious, if the devil or unie other unuign m riut ucc hud reproduced them tu s manner wholly unaccountable, aiid they would steal silently away ; and no bribe, not ev-n the strongest to them, " drink lumiey," could tempt them buck again.

The Indiana had no sooner obtained ponxw ton of the herd than a metoeuger was de spatched to convey the new* of the out rage to the people of Prreoott. On re ceipt of the new* a party of eleven riti reus started in pursuit of the savages. On arriving at Aqua Frio tlev weie join ed by s patty of five citizens of that valley, and the whole force of sixteen men started on the trail. After proceed ing fifty-five milea they met a detach ment of the Third C valry, under com mand of Lieutenant (.ha*. M. Morton, which waa likewise in pursuit of these Inians. The c : lixcua joined the force under Lieutenant Morton, and the jour ney w*< resumed with fresh vigor. After proceeding thirty-fire miles the party went into camp at a late hour of the evening. On the morning of the *tb they again took up Uie trail, which they followed for twenty milea, and at 1 o'clock P. M. came upon a " raucheria," which they quickly surrounded, killing twenty-one of the iuniatea. Feeling satisfied that there were numerous In dian*in the neighborhood, and determin ed that they should have the least passi ble time to prejsuw for lattle or to effect a retreat, the command moved quickly forward in search of another " ranch • na." This they discovered on the fol following day, after croewog the diviaion between the Verde and Tonlo Creek. A fight at once enaued, in which twenty time Indiana were killed. At this place three of the captured horses wcrodiseov ered, and one was recaptured, and two were killed by the Indians when the? discovered that they wen l about to fall into the hands of the command. From this place they followed the principal trail for three mile*, when they discover ed three ludians iu the distance mount ed on two homes, two of these were *hut dead and the third wounded, and both horses recaptured. The supply of pro visions living by this time nearly exhaust ed and the distance from Camp McDow ell, the nearest military post, upward*of fifty miles, it wa* decided to abandon further pursuit and return at once. The command accordingly took up the home ward journey, arriving at Camp McDow ell on the morning of the 12th. A flood Us; fir Snakes. A gentleman residing iu Greene coun ty, Geo., give* us the following remarka ble snake story : "He says that lie had repaired to flu* banks of a small stream for the purpose of securiug a small fry far breakfast His attention was soon attracted by a watcr-Miake Iving a few feet below htm, in the elge of the water, with hia head resting on the hnuk. He had hooked young alligator once by putting a small fish on hi* hook and playing it on top of the water, and it occurred to him that he might hook the snake in the same wav. Cutting a small piece from a tinh ami baiting his hook with it, he I liegau to play it slow ly around the snake's head. lie gave evident signs of interest in the bait revolving around liini, but made no move. Soon, by accident, the ' piece of fish touched tlie back of his bead. His snakeship took this as an | insult, and showed his resentment by snapping at it furiously, and after three , or four efforts caught it in bis mouth. I The gentleman tightened the line, and his snakeship discovered that he was 'sold. After performing divers evolu tions, with the hope of either running | or fighting hia way out of the scraps, he I acknowledged that though hi* great an j ocstor hud been too much for the woman, the sou of the woman had now become | too much for him, and gracefully sub mitted to lie lifted on the bank and have I hit head bruised. 'lhe queer antic* of the first snake had now attracted n ; second to the spot, and, rebutting his hook w th a piece of fish, the angler let it down gently till it touched his head as he lay u|*>n the wuter, with his head a little elevated. Soon as tlie hook touched him bo seized it, and quickly found himself by the aid" of hi* compan ion. In less than an hour ho caught four—all that ho mold find. One of them got loose after being drawn up to land, and got back into tne water ; but ho readily bit at the hook the second time, and was caught again. On ' a good day for anak a,' Uio gentleman thinks he could catch them faster than some men can unhook them."

For three minutes after the troops hud passed the street was almost deserted, and then was filled again by wailing women rushing about wringing their hands and screaming for their dead. The rioters had disappeared, their place was now filled with mourners. Willi staring eves the father sought his sou, and turned with Ueuibling hand* each corpse, if perchance it might lie that of which ho was in search. Houses which a few minutes before hud been still and apparently deserted now poured out their inmates from every door, for from each s father or son was missing ; and as the warm-hearted Irishwoman saw in the mangled coriise at her feet all that was ! left of her husband or her boy, her wild keening pierced the air, and she sot down on the ground, covered her face with her apron, giving uncontrolled vent ito her sorrow. At the corner of Twen ty-eighth street, where the tiring did its j moot terrible work, the sight was unen ! durable. Here lav s child moaning iu its death agony, and looking piteoualy at each j one who passed it, as if wondering when its mother would come and take it in her arms and carry it home. A man IST just as he had fallen head first down a cellar, another trampled into a shape less mass in n gutter. Here was the I broken and dented stock of a riile ten feet from the man whose head it had j crashed. Not to complete, but to give terrible meaning to the story, more than one woman lay dead, with the symbol of her un*eied womanhood —a murderous weapon in her ban i. Before the mob procession started from j Frince street, there was one person in it, a mere boy, who could not nave been over 18, who'made himself oouspiouous by the moat violent action and language. He flourished a revolver, and vowed the most fearful outiis that he would have the blood of an Orangeman Is*fore night. Half frantic with excitement his slender frame and freckled face were seen flying through the crowd as he incited hia fel ; lows to acts of violence. YVlieu the |orty started he took his place in front, and for a long way inarched by tha aide of his leader with hia pistol in his baud. An hour after, the writer of this came down the cleared thoroughfare and *M attracted to a crow d at a drug store near Thirteenth street. Passing through the knot of bystanders, he came upon the i senseless form of this boy laid upon a j board. His skull was oruahed, and the blood had saturated him from head to I feet A sorrow-stricken crowd glared at j him. The saddest sight of all. says the Evening Pott, waa the body of a young girl, about sixteen years of age, who had been shot through the heart. It is probable that the child never looked so pretty in life aa she did in death. The faoe wna in perfect repose, and a half smile played around the lips, ae if, when the' death shot struck her, she. had been laughing at the exoiting scenes around her, rejoicing, possibly, at the prospect of e collision between the mil itary and tit* mob. It la known that many of the moat desperate ringleader* were abot in the act of inciting their follower* to greater exertion* in the oanae of anarchy, and of the many wounded at Bellerue Hos pital, a great nuuilwr of them are hard looking rufUaua. One or two of them, whoae linrta are lc ** *rriou* than tboeo of their companions, uttered fearful threats against the Orangemen, and curse* against the troops who had pro tected them aw effectively, a wearing to be tivengwl on aome future oeoaaion. The Family Peleener. One of the moat horrible instances of female wickedness since the days of the Borgia, (who used the aqun kfana witli *nch freedom,) ia tliat now before a ecmrt iiiDerhy, Conn. A woman named Mrs. Lydia Mkerman ia held there charged with many murder*. Altogether ahe ia *ti|qo#ed t > Itave killed off three hus band* am! eight children by giving them small doses of arsenic; but it ia the death of her hat husband, Mr. Mhennanaad that of his children, for which the law ia now seeking to make her responsible. The alleged murdreas is a tine-looking woman, with black, lustrous eye#, and a good figure, and a prepossessing man ner, and a taste for elaborate dress. Cupidity ueein* to have prompted all her murderou* movement*. Hhe wanted to own by herself, all that her husband posse****], (which wa* not ao much.) and to this end desired first to get rid of all the children aud then remove kirn to " another aud a 1 letter world." In the pofiular mind of Connecticut there seetns to be no doubt of the woman * guilt, aud the nature of the testimony leaves it in no dispute. Hhe professed the warmest attachment for her victim*, every one, watched tenderly and n##idn msly at their bed sides, and literally murdered them by inches while b-stowing carcases on them ! Her victim* all died plainly of the effects of arsenic, and their bodies being exhumed, the traces of arsenic were ful'y expeak-d by means of chemical analysis. In the liver of one of the murdered parties the * mount of arsenic found, to use the chemist's words, " was simply enormous"—it was "certainly the maximum amount that the human system is capable of absorbing." To an this proof of her guilt the witness listened with uu air of elegant nonchalance, but itia probable Shut, uotwithstanding all her lieautv and cuuuiug, she will nave to go to trial. A Horrible Incident. " A woman waa arrested in the Rue . Hoqnettc, Paris, accused of arson, and led off to execution ; her child, a little girl of three or four, followed, clinging to her mother's petticoats. No sooner had the unfortunate woman been taken into a court—front a window look ing on to which my informant aaw what fojlow.-d— than the was placed againat a wall and shot The child, which had I wen dragged away from ita mother when the hitter waa led out to be shot, fled, screaming with fright, at toe report ot the muskets. An officer thereupon drew his revolver and shot the child through the back as it ran, killing it in- Htantly. This sounds almost incredible, I Hit after what I have heard I do not doubt that it ia true. A staff officer, | who in ordinary timea is one of the kindest-hearti*d men I bave ever met, told me • day or two ago that some hour* j after toe regular array had got possession of the Chateau de la Muotte, a mysteri ous rapping was heard In a cupboard, j Search wa* made, and two unfortunate National Guards were dragged forth. They had been locked up by Dombrow ski'a* older, for having got drank on duty—a Tery common crime under the Commune. 'And what did yon do to them?' I asked. 'Do to them F waa | the answer ; 'why, shot them of course.'" j Cm AX® COCWTWT.— The desire of country lads for city life is natural enough. They are captivated by the stylish dreoa, soft hands, and easy man ners of the young men of the city they meet from time to time, and are natural ly attracted by a life that would enable them to enjoy what they consider so de sirable. They do not" know that tha poor olerk has* nothing but hia dress and soft hand*, and that between his desire to equal the style of those whose incomes ore far in advance of hit, and the limita tions of his small salary, he leads a life of disquietude and unhappineas that the country youth never dreamed of. A Warm CvurAlus.— The fact that the terms of twenty-four United States Senators expire a year from next March, lends considerable interest to the elec tions of the present Fall, inasmuch as in eight of the States, via. : Kentucky. Cali fornia. Ohio, Pennsylvania. lowa, Mary land. Wisconsin, and Vermont the Leg islatures chosen will be ele ted with in ference to the aeleo ion of ikmatorw.
