TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR
Tho Colonel'i Story.
We find the following old "hose yarn
in the last Porter's Spirit of the Times,
ere.lited to an exchange. We do not
know but tiome of our renders may
have met with it before—if they have
we doubt not they will enjoy a now
laugh over its perusal :
I have never been able to ascertain
tho cause of the quarrel between tho
Crickley* and the Drakes. They have
lived within a mile of each other in Illi
nois for five years, and from their first
acquaintance there had been a mutual
feeling of dislike between the families.
One day,,Xr. Drake, the elder, was
returning heat° with a pocket full of
rake, from Chicago, where he had been
to dispose of a load of grain, and Sam
Barton was on the wagon with him.—
As they approached the grove which
intervened bauseeu them. and Mr.
Drake's house, be observed to his com
panion :
"What a. beautiful shot , old Crickley's
roan is over yonder?'
"Rang it, so it is !" muttered old
Drake.
The horse was standing mtdor some
trees twelve rods from the road.
Involuntarily, Drake stopped his
team. Ile glanced furtively around;
then with a queer smile the old hunter
took np his rifle from the bottom of the
wagon, and raising it to his shoulder,
drew a sight on the Colonel's horse,
"Beautiful!" mattered Drake, lower
ing his rifle with the air of a man who
had resisted powerful temptation. "I
could drop tho old roan so handsome."
"Shoot ?" suggested Sam Barton,
who loved fun in any *hap°.
"No, 'twont do," said the old hunter,
eat sing cautiously around.
"I won't toll," said Sant.
tiWoll, I viosit shoot this time, tell or
not tell. The 'home is too nigh—if be
WAS fifty rode off, instead ortwelve, so
their:lomM be h bars possibility of mis
taking him for , a deer, I'd . let •fly: As
it is, I'd.give old Crickley lira dollars
fora shot.' • .
At this• moment the Monet piniself
eteppcd_ from behind a big oak, not half
a dozen paces distant, and stood before
Mr. Drake. • •
uWell, wily don't poi shoot?"
The old man stammered out some
words in confliction.
' That you, COMO, '
tonip!ed to, I declare: But, 'as I said,
rit - rye yon a V for a pad.'
"Say an X, and it's a ,biligskr." -
Drake felt for his rido and looked at
the old horse.
“How much is the old roan worth r
ho whispered in Sum's ear. •-•
About $50,"
Well, I'll do it. Merle's en X."
The Colonel pocketed the money,
muttering " I'll be hanged if I thought
you'd do it."
With high glee, the old hunter put a
frosh cap on his riflo, stood up in his
wages), and drew a close sight on old
roan. The Colonel put the money in
his pocket, and chuckled, too.
Crack wont the rise. The hunter
lot out a horrible oath, which . I will not
here repeat. Sam was 'astonished--
the Colonel stared, old roan nover
stirred.
Drake stared at his rifle, with a facto
" 's 6e tniittet with you, hey
rust timo,you ever terra mo such a
trick, I swan."
And Drake reloaded his piece with
great wrath and indignation.
"People say you've lost your knack
of shaking," said the Colonel, in a tone
of witting sarcasm.
" Who said so ? . It's a lie !" thunder
ed' the enraged old hunter. "I can
shoot- 71 -
" 14 A horse at ten rods. Ha ha!"
Drake was livid.
"Look here, Colonel, I ean't stand
that," he began.
"Never mind, the horse can," Moored
Lilo Colonel,
Grinding his teeth, Drake produced
anothern X. "here," ho growled, "I'm
bound to have my shot."
" Crack away," said the Colonel,
pocketing the note.
Drake did crack away—with deadly
aim too, but the horse did not mind the
bullet in the least. To the rage and
unutterable disgust of the old hunter,
roan stared him in the face, as if ho liked
the fun.
"Drake," cried Sam, " You're drank.
A boree at a dozen rods 1 0, la 1" •
"Shut your mouth, or I'll shoot, you,"
says old ])rake.
"The man lies that says i can't shoot.
Last week I cut a goose's head at fifty
rods, and I can do it again. Crickley,
you can laugh now, bat, I'll bet you fifty
dollars that I can bring down old roan
at the very next shot."
The wager was readily accepted.—
The stakes were placed in Sam's hands.
Elated with the idea of winning back
his two teas-and making an X. in the
bargain, Drake carefully selected a per-
Peet ball, and with a, buckskin patch
•carefully loaded his rilllo..
.It was now nearly night, but the boo-
Set-was in the habiaof b oa st►ag that Le
maid shoot a bat on. the wing, by star
light, and without hesitation he drew
a bead oa old roan's head.
A moment later, and Drake was driv
ing through the grove, the most enrag
ed and desperate of men. Ills rile, in
nocent victim of his he, lay with bro.
ken stoek.in the bottom qi the wagon.
Sem itarton was too frightened to
laugh.
in the meantime, the gratifiedCole
nel was rolling on the ground convulsed
,with mirth, and old roan. Ins standing
under the tree. -

3lEssna Eurroas--Seoiwg several in
quiries in your excellent journal of late,
for the boat location for. au orchard, I,
would say to all inquirers, to choose
the highest location to be obtained.—
The higher the elevation the higher the
color of the fruit, and the more cortaili
tho crop. Several years ago I was
travelling over Kentucky for days and
weeks, and I could not see the first ap
ple, pear, poach or plum, until I came
to the high pine and chestnut knobs of
Salt River. To my utter astonish nib t,
all kinds of fruit trees. were loaded with
fine fruit. I inquired how it was
,that
all the orchards hero wore groaning un
der their loa.d while all the northern
and eastern portions of Kentucky bad
no fruit. They informed me that they
had abundance of fruit ovary year. I
then inquired the whys and wherefores
it was so. They certainly were not so
far'sonth that the frost would not kill
the fruit. No, for hundreds of miles
south the frost killed the fruit some
seasons:- It was the elevation a certain
height, And-the:higher the elevation the
better. This was new to me at *at
time, .I jeurney* :en south, aed as
soon aa . tgot into the low valleys not
the first particle of fruit was to be seen
as far south as I travelled that season.
In conclusion I would say to any person
wishing to set out an orchard for mar
keting fruit, to pick oat a location on
some - Railroad that passes through the
highest hills or monntains, even should
-the distance seed too far from market
and too inconvenient. To have the
finest and sweetest crops whet/ all
*than fail, more than makes up forthe
distance and extra trouble in shipping
the fruit to market,—Country Gent.
Hens always seek to place themselves
upon the highest roosts—as a writer in
the IV. E. Farmer says, "It. is the heiglic
of their ambition." Heavy hens, he
says, often injure themselves in coming
down—as they generally fly the whole
distance atoned, hitting hard upon the
floor. By changing,the height of the
roosts from seven to four feet, hL hens
have become healthy, lay no more soft
shelled eggs, and come down readily
and without injury. - •
Three Children Burned to Death.—We
learn from the Lykenstown (Pa.) Jour
nal that an Tuesday night of last week
the dwelling of Mr. Ziramerrhan, is
Clark's Valley, was destroyed by #ro
and three lives lost. It appears that
Mr. Zimmerman was employed some
where near PinegProve, his wife and
family remaining at home. On Tues
day evening Mrs. Zimmerman and her
eldest son (at home on a visit) left the
house to spend the evening, nt a neigh
bor's, leaving in bed, at home, three chil
dren, of which the eldest was about
thirteen years old. On their return a
bout. 10 o'clock, P. M., the house was
found in dames and nearly consumed,
the children ofcourse perishing with it.
A few of the bones of the children were
recovered and interred on Friday.
13grned.—A, girl aged three years,
daughter of James Maxwell, living near
the toll gate at Wiltier,on Tuesday last
was burnt to death by , her clothes tak•
ing fire. Her mother had left hor 1(4-
