Ssow os the 21th April. Last Saturday
morning we were, on rising, somewhat aston
ished to find the ground white with snow which
had fallen during the night. During the day
it snowed occasionally ; and the atmosphere
was raw and chilly, and doubtless tho growth
of Tegetation'wiH be retarded by it. We had
a remarkably mild winter; but this looks as if
we were to have an unfavorable spring. Very
appropriately might it 1 e remarked that ' t
"Winter lingering chills the lap of May.":

L. L. Still, Co. Superintendent.
... Counterfeit tens on the. Southwark Bank,
Philadelphia, have just made their appearance
at various points in New-Jersey, and a number
of arrests have been made for passing them.

Alligators' Nests. They resemble hay
cocks,' four feet high and five in diameter at
their bases, being constructed with grass and
herbage. . First, they deposit one layer ol eggs

eight inches thick, lay another set of eggs
upon that, ana so on to me top, mere wmg
commonly from one to two hundred eggs in a
nest, With their tails they then beat down
round the nest the dense grass and reeds five
feet high, to prevent the npproach of enemies
The lemale watches her eggs until they are
all hatched by the beat of tho sun, and then
takes her brood under her own care; defen
ding them and providing for their subsistence.
Dr. Lutzenburg, of New Orleans, told me
that he once patfked up one of these nests
with the eggs, in a box for the museum of St
Petersburg, but was recommended before he
closed it to see that there was no danger of
the eggs being hatched on the vtyage. On
opening one, a young alligator walked but,
.and was soon followed by the rest, about a
hundred, which he fed in his house, where
they went up and down stairs, whining aud
barking like youog puppies.

rw.n.l.n. if tlio T.onisvill Jimrual. writinir
ironi Henderson, Ky., giving the following
account of a ucus nature" in that place,
that surpasses all freaks of that occasionally
whimsical lady, Dame Nature, that was ever
heard of : : .
I have just returned from a visit to one of
the most extraordinary curiosities ever known
in the . history .of human race, A negro .o-
man be longing to .nr.aarauci otitic,
place, gave birth, eight days ago, to four liv
ing children, joined together by pairs in a still
more peculiar manner than the Siamese Twins
The two boys are connected at the shoulder,
.and from the hip to tho knee jwnt, leaving the
lower joint of the legs and the feet of each
perfectly free. The girls arc joined at the
shoulder, with this diilbrence from the boys,
that they have but one arm issuing from the
junction of their shoulders. They are joined
Jrom the hip down to tho foot the two legs
ending In one loot. ... - , .,,
In regard to the color of tho children, na
ture seems to have been quite as eccentric as
in their formatiouo of the boys being black,
and the other as white as the child of a white
woman , and so with the girls. - They all seem
to be perfectly healthy, and tho mother Is do
ing uncommonly well. . - :
Testing Seed Cons. A correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazelle furnishes the following
node of testing seed corn : There is so much
.damaged corn this year, that much care will
ixj requisite in selecting such as is suitable for
need. I have seen in your paper and else
where, several modes suggested for testing its
germinating qualities, but they are inefieient,
impracticable, or attended' with too mnch
trouble to bo generally useful. The following
mode will be found simple, practical and cer
tain, and can be applied to any extent desired.
Put the shelled corn in a vessel of such di
mensions as arc required for the quantity to
be tested. Pour water over it of about the
temperature of milk from the cow, untiLit is
fairlv covered, adding to the water from time
to time, if the absorption and swelling ot the
corn should raise it above tho surface, bet
it in a moderate warm place and let it remain
twenty-four hours. Then pour the water oft,
cover the corn with some thick cloth which
must be kept wet, and let it stand in a mass,
still in a warm place until it sprouts. This
will take place in about thirty-six hours, usu
ally, if the corn is'good. I prepare all my
corn for planting in this manner, though I
know the seed to be good. I plant sometimes
with tho sprout half an inch long. The result
is that jt brings the plant forward a week or
more earlier than planting dry. This advan
tage in the fall is sometimes very important.
The damaged corn from my fleld last year did
not exceed five per cent - ' -
