Curious Mode of Grafting the Pear-
The French, it k well known, are
very expert in grafting and budding,
and have tong since operated on all
sorts of plants, including tomatoes on
rotatm.ut,cueumbers and other similar
plants—sometimes for profit ; at others,
apparently more to show to what ex
t....nt the art can b•r applied. Another
sir gular practice has just come to light,
through the medium of a correspondent
to tt►o English Gardener's Chronicle.
which is the working of Bower Suds of
the pear taken from bearing trees, on
to barren ones. The extract reads :
'• Tho finest pears exhibited (Paris
• Hort. Exhibition) were produced from
flower buds, which had been infterted
!on barren spurs of other treas.-during
the [merlons autumn. This method of
• budding is callod by the French, "Gref
ft.a t.;o boulons $ fruit," which to mo
was a novelty in hortieuitaral manipu
! lation. The wools spars were eat from
the trees, to show the finds inserted,
I which latter had produced no wood
b1i00t..4, bet only .tho fine fruit in clus
, tors o► threes and fours. The best
specituens were thaw of .1.) )yenne
River, Duchess d' Angontemo, Beurre
Clairgeau, Belle .do Berry, and Belly
I A tigevitte."
Durability of Wood.
The piles under old London Bridge
have been driven_ over five hundred
years and on examining, them in 1846,
I they were found fo be but little decay
ed. Old Savoy Place, in the city of
London, was built over six hundred and
fifty years ago, and the wooden piles,
consisting of oak, elm, beach and chest
nut, were found upon recent examina
, ti•in to be perfectly sound. Of the
da
rubility of timber in a wet state, the
piles of a bridge built by the Emperor
Traj?tn, over the Danube, afford a
' strikitig example. Ono of these piles
watrlaken up and found to be petrified
to the depth of three-fourths of an inch;
but the rest of the wood was not differ
; ent from its former state, though it bad
been driven 1,600 years.
ser.Some of the Episcopal papers are
earnestly advocating the practices of
preaching; extemporaneously. The ex
clusive use of tho manuscript they con
sider as a great barrier to success, es
pecially with the musses. Rev. .Dr.
Clarkson, in a letter in the October
number of the Church Review, says :
" Ourclergv, unit especially the Western
ones, should be able to preach the glori
ous gospel of our blessed Lord at nny
time, in any company, in any place,
without note or book."
A Strange Circurngance.—A Dauphin
correspondent furnishes the following :
"A strange occurrence took place yes
terday- (Thursday,) afternoon, in the
bar-room of a hotel in our borough.—
Williatn Milliken, son of Thomas Milli
ken, Sen., fell speechless. Up to the
time I write, he has not uttered a word,
is perfectly rational, walks about, eats,
drinks and sleeps, as usual."
I==l
Working up Sawdust.—The ingenuity
of Parisan cithinet-makers, in the Fau
bourg St. Antoine, has found a use for
common sawdust which raises the value
of that commodity far above the worth
of solid timber. By a new proems,
combining the hydraulic press and the
application of intense boat, these wood
en particles are made to re-form. them
selves into a solid mass, capable of be
ing moulded into any shape, andprawn
ting a brilliant surface, a durability and
beauty of appoarance not found in
ebony, rosewood, or mahogany.

"The Bea Shall Give up its Dead."
Prof. litsury, in his lecture on the
Atlantic Cable, announced the interest
ing fact that animal matter at the bot
tom of tho sea, owing to the super-in
eninbent pressure, the exclusion of light
and heat and the saline properties of the
water, could not decompose, but must re
main precisely in the state in which it
is deposited for ages and ages. So that
Pliaroah and his host, when the last
trumph shall sound and the sea shall
give up its dead, will come forth fresh
in feature and perfect in form as when
in pursuit of the Children of Israel they
were engul plied by the waves of the
fled Sea. This conclusion is reached
by numerous ingenious experiments,
one of which was the sinking of a can
non bull through an apparatus for grap
pling sediment from the bottom, in
which sediment were found remains of
animal life, fresh as when extinct, such
an clams and other smaller specimens of
shell fish.—Troy Times.
Pleasant Incident.—At the funeral of
a little bubo in Now Sharon, a few days
since, says the Gospel Banner, a cit.-
camstanoe occurred remarkably cheer
ing and suggestive.
The little gone, all beautifully robed
for the grave, was laid in its coffin on
the morning of the burial. The weep
ing friends placed ir. its little hand a
small bouquet of flowers, among which
was an unopened rose bud of the "Rose
of Sharon." The lid waallion placed
upon the..Noffin, and•the funeral services
performed. When after the lapse of
not more than two or three hours, the
coffin was opened again, and the friends
gathered around to look upon it for the
last time, that bad had become a fall
blown row, while grasped in the cola
hand of death. It-scorned as though a
voice came up from those henutifially.
Rattled lips, saying, " Weep not for int• ;

Millions of infant souls compose the

&revivelt of a Quarrel.—The
Now Brunswick (N. J.) News records
the singular death of a maraud WOlllllll
near that piece on the 17th tilt: .1(•ho
Moore and his wife fell overboard from
the canal boat C. Smith, belonging to
the Troy and Western line. A divuto
arose between Mrs. Moore and a woman
on board another boat.. Mr. M Nlrj
tried to persuade his wife to go into the
cable, which she refused to do.
then attempted to force her into the
cabin, in order to pat a stop to Tip*
quarrel, wnich she resisted, and in the
scuffle both fell overboard and were
drowned. The deceased leave Ore.!

boat.

of the Methodists in Warren. Mats.,
held in Union Hall, on the 22d ult., on
thdoceabion of a pastoral visit, the flie,r
ravaLwas and about two linii.lred per
sons, mon, woman and children. fell
through into the Unie4Store below.—,
A letter says :
Tho scene was, for a time; heart
rending. A woman rnehod from the
place to Mr. Blair's store, at a short dis
tance, exclaiming, " I am sears , d to
death 1 ." when she fainted, and, re
maining in an unqmscious state, expir
ed at two o ' clock on Thursday morn
lug. No external marks of injury were
found on her person, and it is supposed
Pho died from fright,. The wife of Dr.
Ca:vin Cutter had a leg broken, was
much injured in the back and was hal
ly scalded by the failing of a largo boil
er of hot water. The stove and boiler,
which were heated for ju-pose of
making tea for the festi , fell Oro'
into the midst of them. It was early
in the evening, and all who intended to
be present had not arrived, or inure
fearful results might have onsuod.
A Woman Chops off Iler Husband's
Bead With an Axe.—A correspondent
of the Petersburg (Va.) Express, iy►
writing from Weldon, N. C., says:
" A tragical affair occurred ►n this
county on Christmas night., the partic
ulars of which I have just learned. It
seems there lived about.B miles trim
Italif►x, a family of free negroes, con
sisting of a man named Jack Mills, his
wife, and one son.
" The man and wife wore habit nal
drunkards, and on the night of Christ
mas, had indulged very freely. The
boy went to sleep leaving them qnarrel
ing as usual, but was aroused in the
night by a noise, and upon starting up,
saw his mother strike his father two
heavy blows with an axe; whereupon
ho fled and alarmed the neighbors, who
upon going to the house, found the man
quite dead and horribly mangled, the
head being nearly severed from the bo
dy, and several ghastly wounds inflict
cd upon it, presenting a
, apectaclo most
revolting. The woman was arrebl,od
and is now in jail at Halifax."
A Local TdegrapA in Washington.—
It is stated in the Union that an ar
rangement is now being perfected for
connecting the executive mansion, the
different Departments, the Capitol, and
Willard's, Brown's and the National
Hotels, by telegraph wires, with an
office at each building. A message of

Old Jake's Last..
I am clerk in a store in Fredrick, Md..
and often hearing "rich jokes," I
thought it might be possible that they
would be of some use to you. Here us
ono of them :
Old Jaku S. is a pretty hard drinker,
and often when about "half seas over,"
ho will tell some of the hardest kind of
rerun. Some time ago, sitting in Ike
barroom of D—'s hotel, pith Mr. 11.
Mr. 13., I saw old Jake passing, and
feeling like having some sport at his ex
pense, I told H. to call him in. Just as
he was coming in the door, I commen
ced in a load voice :—"Yes, sir, he died
standing up ; he was taken with the
, bl;nd staggrrs,' and ho got stiff, and
died standing sp." This wan all ere
wanted. So Old Jake commenced :
What's that you're tallaug about—
a horse?"
" Yes," I answered
"Humph! that's nothing; when I
was a boy my father had a bona) that
was taken with tbo lock jaw; and he
got so st ill' in about thirty seconds, that
my brother and me had to pry him
over wi:h crow-bars."

The Way to Get Wealthy
Ne7or was money so scarce, everybo
dy says, and everybody, we believe, is
justified in making the remark. Silver
may be plentiful in bank, gold may be
abundant at Frazer River, bat neither
can be picked up along the streets by
men too indolent to work or women too
extravagant to study economy. They
ill now discern that
"'Tim • very good world that Ire IM to,
To lettd. of to speed. or to give to.
Bat to bol. or to borrow. or pt a stater! rove.
'T Is the very worst world that ever warn tmors."
Tho proverb is an old one, but just as
applicable to our times as those of our
ancestors, Poverty has not much cre
dit in bank parlors, though wealth is
frequently less reliable, unless accom-
panied by honest principle. The only
thing to be depended upon in these
days is industry. That is the beat
financial institution, It never fails.—
Abstemiousness aid frugality are the
best bankers. They allow a handsome
interest, end never dishonor a draft
drawn en them by their humblest cus
tomers. That's our opinion of the mat
ter.

Trial Trip of the First Locomotive.
Valor Tinratio Allen, the engineer of
the New York and Erie Railroad, in a
Ppoech danng the recent festival oeca
sion, gave the following sesount of the
first trip made by a lowmotise on this
contineht :
"When was it? Who was it? And
who awakened its energies and directed
its movement? It was in the year
1828, on the banks of the Lackawaxon,
at the commencement of the railroad
connecting the canal of the Delaware
and llndson Canal Company with their
coal mines—and he who addresses you
was the only person on that locomotive.
The circumstances which led to my be
ing alone on the engine were these:—
The road had been built ►n the sum
mer; the structure was of hemlock tim
ber, and the rails of large dimension,
notched on caps far apart. The tim
ber had cracked and warped from ex
posure to the sun. After about three
thousand feet of strait line, the road
crossed Lackawaxen Creek on trestle
work about thirty foot high, with a
curve of three hundred and fifty-five
to four hundred feet radius. The im
pression was very general that this iron
monster would either break down_ the!
road or it would leave the track at the
curve and plunge into the creek. My
reply to each apprehensions was, that
it. was too late to oonsider the proba
bility attach occurrence; there was no
other course but to have a trial made ofi
the strange animal, which had boon
brougist here at a groat expense ; but
that it was not necessary that more
than ono should be involved in its fate;
that I would take the first ride alone,
and the time would come when I shonld
look back to the incident with groat in
terust. Am I placed my hand on the
throttle-valve handle, I was undecided
whether I would move slowly or with
a fair degree of speed, but believing that
the road would prove safe, and prefer
ring, if wI did go down, to go hand
somely, and without any evidence of
timidity, 1 started with considerable
velocity, passed the curve over the creek
safely, and was soon out of hearing of
the vast assemblage. At the end of
two or three miles I reversed the valve
and returned without accident to the
place of starting, having thus made the
first railroad trip by locomotive on the
Western hemisphere."

Courting by Telegraph.
Everybody knows that the magnetic'
telegraph is a great invention, but
everybody does not know the uses to
which it is put. Who, for example_;
would imagine that love sick swami
"court" damoiselles over the wires ? yet
such is the fact. Many of the operators
at different points are ladies, and with
these the male attaches keep up a run
ning fire of jokes and witticisms. Of
course this is only allowed when the
lines are not burdened with business.
We have heard a romance about thill
matter, and our informant vouches for
its troth. A certain young man, 140,
we shall call Smith, was employd *tea
office on the National Line. In 'the
course of business, ho ascertained that
the person having charge of a station in
a small town some seventy miles dia.
taut, was a young lady, and that her
name was Sarah. Forthwith in an In
terval of leisure flashed over the wires
this message :
"My name is Smith How old are
von ?"
To which the answer was promptly
returned:
" My name is Sarah—Noao of ywir
bus;ness !"
The moat ono ran thus :
" I am not married—What are you
worth I"
To which the words came back :
"Worth a million."
As a climax the youth replied.:
"Will you marry mo ?" •
The answer was "yes"—and in lbw
months they were married.
