Jeff Davies Account of His Capture. Illy horse and those of my party proper were saddled preparatory to a start, when one of my staff, who bad ridden into a . neighb - dring village, re turned and told me that he had heard that a marauding party intended to at- tact: ;the camp that night. ..This decid ed' me to wait long enough to see wheth er there was any truth in the rumor, which I supposed .would be ascertained in a few hours. M 3 h * orse retrained saddled and my pistols to the holsters, and I lay down, fully dressed ; to rest. Nothing occurred to arouse me until just before dawn, when' my coachman, a free colored man, who - faithfully clung to our tortures, came and told me there was firing over the branch, just behind our vneam - pment. I stepped out of My tPtit and NV some horsemen, whom I immediately reet.ipizeil as cavalry, 4- ploying around the encampment. I turned back and 'told my wife these ut ie not the expected maranders, , hut regular troopers. She implored me to leaveler at once. I hesitated from un willingness to, do so, and lost a few preeioua moments before yielding to her importunity. _ My. horse and arms were near the road on which I expect. : ed to leave down which the cavalry approached. It was therefore imprac-{ ticable to reach them. I wasccimpelled to shut iii an opposite direction, As it was quite dark in the tent, 1 pickesl up what was supposed to lie my 'raglan'--a waterproof - light overcoat without sleeves. Et • v - as subsequently fomicl to he my wife's, so very like my own as .to — be mistaken for it. As I 'started my wife thotightfully threw over my head and shouldemg shawl. I -had gone perhaps fifteen or twenty yards whou a trooper galloped up and ordered me to halt! and surrender, to which : 1 gave a , defiant answer, • and dropping the shawl and raglan from my shoulders, advanced toward him. He leveled his carbine at me. bat I expect ed if he fired he would me, .md 'my intention was in that event to put ray hand under: his foot, tumble him off.on the other ride, and Apring into his saddle and attempt to escape. My wife, who had been watching, saw the soldier-aim his carbine; at me, run for ward and throw her arms around me. Success:depended upon instantaneous action, and recognizing,that the oppor tunity had been lost, II turned back, and the morning being damp and chilly passed on to a-fire beyond the tent.— From Jeff Dqvii's hook. "The Rise and • Fall qf Confederate Government. Greek. Meets Greek. A young man with a lafge book under his arm and a seven-by-nine smile on his mug stuck his head into the ticket win dow at the Union depot abd asked the e1(4.1c what was the fare to tau Antonio.

WOl-v:orked Etnall farms, as a rule, are proportionately more profitable than those of extensive dimensions. Tlie products of the 38 'acre farm of 31iltou Wickersham, Newlin towniMip, Chester county, Pa., is an evidence of what can be accomplished on a limited urea. LaSt year be raised 400 bushels of corn, 200 bushels of oats, and 160 blisbels of wheat, each of these grains liavienzfive acre allotted to it.

Some writers recommend . clover. as . a reclaimer for.- exhausted lands; but a soil that will grow clover is by 'no means exhausted—at all events it is not the exhausted soil we Shall al lude to. What we shall refer to is old fields that have been turned oat for years, and have - grown up with briars, .pine bushes or sedge grass. Even those- lands can be reclaimed and be made profitable while being . restored. Nature makes an effort to 'restore or heal, all wounds' that are inflicted Upon her. HA Ulan or other animal receives a cut or contusion, nature at once ap plies her healing power to cure the welled, So it is also with the vegeta ble kingdom. If as tree or shrub be cut or wounded, nature exerts her heal. iug powers in proportion to the cohsti tution of the plant. So if the soil be exhausted Or wounded by bad farming, nature will Cover it with something in process of time—most probably pine bushes, sedge bushes or briars. If a field his grown up with brierti or pine bindles cut them down in the month-of July or August, and, as there are prob , ably gullies in the field, fill them up with the briers or bushes, leaving any balance that may be on the ground. The next spring the native grass of the country will probably begin to make its appearance; if it does not it will the year after. But 'when it appears and gets a start pleiture it with sheep, or cattle. The fall from these will add , greatly to the soil. The second year after the bushes or briers have been cut down they will prObably have been sufficiently rotted to .plow the ground. Then run a colter or. heavy harrow through it, and in August . sow it.down in rye and pasture all through the win ter with sheep and cattle when tli/, wea ther is (ley, and so continue until Au gust, when plow or harrow again, turn ing the ground over, and sow again in rye and pastnre as before. , .: :The result will be,' after several yeais, ; hf this pro cess, you will have tv soil. thaf will pro duce clover, and then it is Siasy to r m/ike it,produce wheat. In the meantime the pasture of your land will more than compensate for the labor bestowed up on, it. If a field has grown up.in sedge grass commence to pasture it with sheep and _cattle -early in the spring, when - .the young grass is itender, anti pasture it heavily throughout -the year; so as, to keep it from' going to seed. Sheen will fatten on it, dry cattle will keep in good order, and it will even in creas4lthe flow (if milk froui your cciw e Whinhhill make golien.butter. In :twe' or three years the sedge grass will dis appear, and then sow rye and the °lel ver, • pasturing the - Lye whenever tli'e ground is dry enongh to prevent tbh ground from being cut up by the cattle. Rye is a great favorite gras.4 of mine. It is very nutritious as a grass and . makei very good hay if cut when in bloom' or the, grain is in milk. • Horses eat it4 - nearly . or quite as well as-they do timothy or red top. Throwing straw or weeds on galled places is a good way ,10 restore the laud. 7 TVILNIPS.—There is no crop that, tie farmer puts in the ground that pays him better than - the turnip. -We are aware that with some persons it is look ed upon as of little account; but it has never received the consideration to which it is really entitled; and thOse who turn up their noses at it are not genuine farmers.- It i 3 a crop, more over, that is put in at a time when the hurrying work is aver; when it °can• pies ground that has already been used for something else. The cultivation also, say of from one to, two acres of turnips, involves • comparatively little labor. The 'crop, too, is harvested in November, when there is almost no other labor on the farm to interfere with it. As to the variety of seed to sow, we believe there is no turnip equal to the purple top. A topdressing T or bone manure is almost indispensable to au almudant crop. For .nn early crop take the Early flat Dutch and sow broadcast, and now ie the time. T4e Purple Top for the regular farm. crop.. This should be sowed in drills thirty inched apart and when the turnips are the size of a hickory 'nut thin outjo eight or ten inches 'apart- in the row. They seldom fail in affording a satisfac tory crop. The crop can be put in 'the first half of August. Where laud is-a little short sow among corn at the last working. They will not interfere in the least with that crop, geneially, and very little when it is harvested. Be sure al ways to.procure seed of houses of rep utation, and use. that grown here in stead of in Europe if you, wish the best and safest article. A Mountain Messiah.
