In a district of a.few miles in extent on the Tryon mountain, neither dew nor frost is ever known. The same district is remarkable fur the variety And excel lence of its native grapes, and they are often found in fine condition in the open air as Into at December. The dryness of the atmosphere in the Tocality men tioned, and its equability of tempera ture are most remarkable, and we should like to know more concerning it. WNskers Pulled Out.—L L.

At a trial recently held at Yellow Springs, growing out of a difficulty be tween some of the tandems and faculty of Antioch, the " Old Wagon Boy," who represented the faculty, was ex hibiting to the jury a foil or cane, •be longing to one of the students, which was probably used in the sxtlee. Torn was in his usual floppy Mood, and brought down tbo house freqitently by hie witty illastrati s of the noble science of f w parrying im aginary threelkaf nue anoaethrowing himself fiercely upeW the attack. At last, baiting. exhausted his fell store of pleasantries, with one fell thrust he a made a feint" to strike ono of the stu dents, Mr. Fisher, who sat near by, and with a look of unfathomable glaoin; and the voice of a stentor, ho thundered out : " And what would you du, lir; be unarmed, if I should attempt to pierce you through ?" Imagine the roe;.-o( laughter which greeted this eloquent effurt of the "old stumper," when the half-frightened student, col lecting again his wits, sprang to his feet. and, successfully mtmicing Cor win's most bombastic style, exclaimed: " rd welcome yOu, sir, wait bloody hands, to a lumpitablegrave."—Olifo Press. Preaching ,L Practice. The late election, bitterly as it was con tested,was productive of some amus in.'r' scones and inhidente which served to keep np the good humor of the op posing parties ; and as we Democrats of this State have very little to crow over, we may as well have some of liaise inci dents to laugh at—so hero goes for " one of them." In one of the interior counties, a Re publican meeting was called at a, tavern kept by an hotit , ,t, member of that, polit tie.il fraternity. This modernlioniface prnies himself upon the skill holposaes sed in manufacturing "npplejack," and the highest compliment that could be paid him by his guests was the free imbibation of his home manufuctnred exhilirator. Besides, his profits on tho article were great, because ho realised all above the first cost in his own person —there being no intermediate dealers to " take off the cream." The 'leaders of the Republicans thronged the tavern on the day of the meeting, pnd talked homily about " !metalling Nome indus try" and finch bancombe, but they per sistently drank whisik,T, and would not touch tho applejack. At least the' pa tience of the landlord was exhauated, and with true indignation he exclaimed : " I tell you what, I don't like all this talk about encouraging hemp manu factures,' because it's a miserable cheat. Now, bore these mob have been preach ing this doctrine all day, yet not a bit of my appki-jack have they drank, but they have filled themselves with corn w hiskey, imported all tho way from Ohm." It is useless to add that the Republican professions about tection" produced but little effect in that locality. Dr. Thompson, " mine host" of the Atlantic Hotel, ►s a jolly, free-hearted landlord ; but his wit is often blunt, pointless and misses fire. He had furn ished a hurried breakfast for some southern passengers by the curs, and bustled about with all sorts of halter skelter sayings. " Gentlemen, here's yowls breakfast. I've SOW) worse." " I never did see much worse," says one of tho passengktrii. Tho doctor wits %aka% down. As they rose to pass out, they asked that Rastopay. " Fifty coots down, ors dollar wl►on we charge it," said the Doctor. " Well, charge it then," said our grumbling passenger. "I'm sold ." said the doctor. !‘Go on, gentlemen, I'll charge it." Thi Negro as& tits 8.0 The following good story of a. negra's first meeting with a bear is told by. Col, —, who had spent - Immo of his for tune and life in the woods of Florida : " The colonel had a black fellow, a good natured; happy creature, who, one mornings was strolling through the woods, whistling and roaring as ho went, when suddenly he spied an indi vidual as black as himself, with much more wool. Dick looked at his new friend, and the bear (on his rump) at bun. Dick's eyes began to stick out a foot. 4 , Who's dat ?" cried Dick.-- " Who's dat ?" again cried Dick, shak ing allover. Bruin began to approach. Dick pull3d heels for the first tree and the bear after him. D:c.k was upon the cypress, and the boar scratching close after him. Dick moved out on a limb, the bear followed—till the limb began to bend. " Now, see berg, Mis ter, if you comp any furder, dis limb break.

Consequontly, , tbe descendants of all those who were sold for one hundred pounds of tobacco were ranked as the first families. ihilo those Who brought but seventy-See pounds are now rank ed as:the second families ; and tho rea son why no one can eves find any of the second families, is because you can't get a Virginian to tic:mit that his mother only . brought seventy-five pounds of tobacco. ser i green looking chap from the Green Mountains went over the line and on to Montreal, "to look round a little."

Pour off tb ewategand add good Reek, or Turk's eland salt, enough to make a brine that will just float potatoes. Two 'or three kiade of potatoes should bo dropped in; as some varieties are mach heavier (of greater specific gravity) than cabers; about the average weight is desirable. The brig° for the-hundred pounds thus proparei, add ortilint "Cesgood molasses, and ex to seven ounces Of saltpetre, using the large clear crystals, as being the purest. Make and use , the pickle cold. Then pour the liquid back upon the barns, and let them stand six weeks, when they will be ready for smoking, though they may stand as much longer as may he desired, as they will in the first six weeks take up all the salt that they will absorb. When removed finally for smoking, tb'y should be thrown into fresh water and stand 24 hours. Take notice that the position of the hams in the barrel should be changed once in 10 or 12 days, to let them lie upon each other at now points, 'and allow the brine to come in contact with the parts which had previously lain to gether. This is an important hint in pickling hams, whatever kind of pickle may he used. Cream FritteAt.—Mix a pint and a half of wheat flour with a pine W-. minx —boit sir eggs to a froth, and stir them into the flour—grate in half a nutmeg, and then add a pint of cream, and a couple of teaspoonfuls of salt.

They declare that they have seen enough in %the experience of the past to convince them that no reform it to bo expected from .the authorities, and to call for united action on the part of ei tizons•within the scope and author ity of law Among other. things. the address says: - " It is sufficient to say—what cannot, we believe, be denied, with a decent respect for the troth—that there is no reasonable and sufficient security in Baltimore for person, property orfrau chise, under the existing administra tion of the laws. A system of recogni sed violence and despotiertillanista has grown to maturity and _power, as a very element of governraent, under the Ineffieieney of a polies force, as ample as it costly, but which, in 'Tito of indfiidnal and meritorious exceptions, is defective, alike in morale, material and administration." New Reams Carriage.—Col. R. IL Hoe, .of New York, inventor of the oolebented typo, revolving printing press, is about to construct a carriage to travel over any turnpike or g ood country road, and to be propelled by steam. The first is intended for him self to ride out and in between his place of business and his country seat, about, twelve miles from the city ofNew York. It is expected that the carriage anti propelling power will • not' ;Wet 'more than a good pair of ,littrsea and coach, and travel over a faig r road at. the rate of two thirty per mile. 'This will prove a grest pubtic-eonvenienee, besides the saving afte flesh and oats.

Why did the hail stones' fan so large, if they were composed ot'dlnglb drops? This fact the philosophers of France were wholly unable to utp4ll4le, and it was left to our ingenkros'boun tryman to furnish the explanation. -At a certain point over our heads is the hottest day of summer thorn is a point of perpetual congelation, and a num in a balloon ascending vertically upwards wouklAnd his clothes, if wet, *glen he reached this point beginning to frees& In very hot weather, when the 44111046- pUero is very full of vapor, the eurrent. running into the base of a tall cloud be comes exceedingly strong, 80 48 to ar rest the falling drops or watek....4o car ry them upward.
