KEEPING CABBAGES IN WINTER.—TO preserve cabbages through the Winter and still hive them accessible at all times, se lect a pcrfcctl> dry spot, and open a trench with the spade or plough. Take up tlie cabbages with their roots attached, invert ing them a you proceed to allow the water to run out from the heads. After pulling a quantity and standing them on their heads until they are thoroughly dry, set fhett; out thickly in the trench, in their natural po sition, covering with earth nearly to the head. Open another trench as near this as the heads w ill admit of, and set out nsecond row. Proceed in this manner until all are used, when a temporary hoard shed may be erected over the patch, four feet high in front, and sloping to uoar the ground in the rear. This should he sufficiently tight to firry of ull the water, but. the end* may be left opeu lor ventilation, closing with straw only in very cold weatiifer. Cabbages will keep in this situation until Spring. If wa ter is prevented from entering the heads, the freezing will have no injurious effeet.— When wanted for use, cut off the heads, and if frozen, soak in well or spring wa ter for a few hours before cooking. This will take out the frost gradually, aud also remove any disagreeable flavor. Another and very common method is, to stand them upon the level ground, with the j roots up, and turn a fnrsow against the row upon either side. Au additional covering 1 is givn by hanking up tho "hit'fffc about theui with a spade, until the heads arc en tirely buried. They keep pretty well m this manner, but cannot bo easily got out when the ground is frozen hard. Another plan which we have pursued with success, is as follows: Transplant the cab bages into close single rows, say I'd feet btig, setting the heads nearly down to the surface of the grouud. At each end of the row a erotched stake, and put a poic across a few inches above the Leads. Lay Upon O'ltll Hf-Jw .Jt/iiii. liiaKC a pointed roof over the heads, and shovel 011 a thin layer of earth at first, increasing its thickness as colder weather comes on. The frozen earth can be chopped away at any poinr, aud the cabbages removed as de sired, closing the opening made with earth or a bundle r.f straw. The cabbages will grow and increase in size ail \V inter, it an opening be left at each end for the access of air, closing it only in ease of extreme cold. It is necessary that the earth be packed as to shed off tho rain, as the straw, becoming wet, will rot and injure the heads, though it ought not to he allowed t come in direct contact with hetu. The mice sometimes get in and destroy tbccab i bages. If discovered by their holes, they ; should be trapped immediately. Still another method we have found to answer well, and to require little time.— Lay down two poles or rails upon the ground, two to four inches opart. Turn the heads down upon these and cover them with a few inches of earth, smoothing it off to shed water. On the approach of very cold weather, put a large quantity of eartli upon that portion of them desired for Winter use. We have removed the snow, cttt off tho fro zen earth with an old axe, and taken out the cabbages in fine couditiou during the cold est season of mid-Winter. — Anrrican Ag riculturist. CLEAN K* TUB GARDENS*—TON MAY pride yourself, as we do, on showing a vege- j table garden wbern there is uot a single ! growing weed, but there will be any quan- , tity of vines, stalks and rubbish 'from the : various useful plants which will need to be gathered and piled in an out of the way, and out of sight heap, if yeu would not j have an eye-sore to look upon daring all the Winter. It takes no more limo to do this at the beginning than at tho end of the Winter, and how much more neat and cheer ful your garden plot and yard will appear, if raked entirely cleau and smooth. It wiil be stilf better if. as wc have elsewhere ad vised, the garden soil bo thrawn into uni form trenches, and all tho rubbish buried | beneath them. If by chaocc, or by negli" | gence,eny foul weeds havo been permitted to go to seed, carefully gather and bum them. One weed stalk left to ripen on the grouud, will add materially to the labors of the next and the following years.— lb. VALC* Of FALLEN LEAVES.—No ma nure ie to well worth the saving in October aud November as the falliog leaves of the season. According to Payeo, they oontain nearly three times as much nitrogen as ordinary barn yard manure, and ever; farmer who has strewn and covered them in his trench es late in the fall or in December, must have noticed the next season how black and moist the soil that adheres to tho thrifty young beets. No vegetable substance ields its woody fibre and becomes soluble quicker than leaves, and trout this verv j cause, they are soon dried up, scattered to t the winds, and wasted if not gathered and i trenched in or composted before the advent ! of severe winter. | As leaves ate poor in carbon, and rich in alkaline salts, as nitrogen, they are especi j ally valuable in compost with menhaden fish i manure and dead animals, poor in potash, i hut abounding in carbon aud lime pbos i pliates. But the great vuluo of leaves is in the extia nitrogen they contain. Prof. Jack son truly says that the compounds of nitro gen not only decompose leadily themselves, but they also induce the elements of either organic manor with wnicli they are iu con tact, to assume new forms, or to enter into new chemical combinations; and according to the long continued and varied Rotliam sted trials and experiments of the inde fatigable Lawes end Dr. Gilbert, nitrogen, in its compound forui (ammonia) also ex erts toe same potent influence on the inor ganic or mineral elements of the soil, ren dering oveu sTtid mi# the soluble tood of pl'iiits. Yet every farmer or gardener ought also to know that his own mechanical aid iu trenching or ploughing i n order to keep his soil permeable and absorptive, is indispen sable to aid nature ia developing ber chem ical procss.— Rural -Vein Yorker. IHK HORN AlL. —Several agricultural journals contend that there is co such thing as Iloru Ail, or Hollow Horn in cattle, and that tho boring of the horn, and the fil ling of it with severe remedies, is only a needless cruelty to the poor animal, and may result in indue ing H disease, instead of curing one. Dr. Dadd, the able editor of the Veterinerv Journal, of Bos ton, says he has had Several opportunities of examining the bodies of cattle said to have died of horn ai!, and that aiming these were cases f soft ening of the brain, which the remedy of boring I'OIII I never reach. Hold horns, which have been considered as evidence of hollow horn, is shown to be a syptom of ca tarrh, colic, CQiitisoatioij, any oilier derangement of the digestive or" can*. Such being the fact, horn boring be come* a universal resort, and must add very uracil to rite suffering of the ca'tt'V, and may, in some cases, actually produce death. Tiiuri Howard, in the N. E. Farmer, rec ommend* the following a* a remedy for Hol low Iloru, so called: I had a cow several years ago, that was taken, as we supposed, with the horn ail.

It would seem thu there is no living thing so obnoxious as not o find some admirers. What fcreatures no ifptilsive as rats ami spi ders'? Y T et the Londn Quarterly finds some thing beautiful aud iven lovcubic iu the for mer, and Dr. Asa Fich, iu Harper'* Month ly, labors to show tlat die latter "delieate objects" are worthy tf our esteem and ad miration 1 He denits that their bite is fatal to any but insects, aid extols their agility, adroitness, sagacity,nod heroism, as wjrtliy of all praise. In support of these views, he tells the following cuiotis story concerning a heroic spider that lapturcd a snake. The affair name eff last summer, in the store of Mr. Charles Cook, in the village of Havana, Chemung county, Net York, and is attestid by the lion. A. 11. DLkiuson, of Corning, who himself witnessed the phenomenon, as did more than a bundled other persons: An ordinary-looking spider, of a dark color, its body not larger than a common house-fly, bad taken np its residence, it ap pears, on the under side of a shelf beneath the counter of Sir. Cool's store. What may we suppose was the surprise aud consterua tion ot this little animal, on discovering a snake about a foot lung selecting for his abode the floor underneath, only two or three spans distant from its nest. It was a com- mon silk suakr, which per bairn* had been brought into tho store unseen ill a quantity of sawdust wilh which the floor bad been recently ''carpeted." The spider was well aware, no doubt, that it would inevitable fall a prey to this horrid monster, the first time it should incautiously venture within its leueh. We should expect that, to avoid such a horrible doom, it would forsako its present abode, and Peek a more sicure re treat elsewhere. But it is not improbable that a brood of its eggs or young was secreted near the spot, which the parent foresaw Wool 1 fall a prey to this monster, if they were abandoned by their natural guardian aud protector. Wc can conceive • f WQ „4l, cr uviyi> s:y* * * w k ~~ dated the spidcr.su pertinaciously to remain and defend tbat particular spot, at the im minent risk of her own life, when she could so easily Lave fled, and established herself in some secure corner elsewhere. But how, we uiaj "Weft ask-, was it pos sible for such a Weak, tonder little < reature to combat Mich a powerful, uiail-olad giant? What Ipower ha-' she to do anything which could subject tho monster to even tfco slightest inconvenience or molestation?—- Ilor ordinary resort, that of fettering and binding her victim, by throwing her threads of cobweb around it, it is plain would be of no more avail here than the voids upon the iiufbs of the trashorn Sanacfn. Aware that her accustomed modo of at tack was useless, how did she acquire the knowledge and sagacity requisite for de vising another, adapted so exactly to the case in hand, de pending upon the structure and habits of the serpent, to aid in rendering it successful? llow was ihe able to perceive that it was in her power to wind a loop c' her threads around this creature's throat, despite of all his cndeaV#rs to foil her in this work, a loop of snnoient strength to hold him securely, nitwithstanding bis struggles and writhiugs,Until by her tacklc like power she could graiually hoist him up from the floor, thns litenlly hanging him by the neck until ho was ri*d? for this was tho feat which this adroit litlo heroiue actually performed,a feat beside \4iich all the tabulous exploits of Hercules inoverpowering lions and serpents and dragots sink into utter in significance. And whoean say that, in tho } planning and execution )f this stupendous achievement, there wasaot foresight, rea soning, a careful wcighig of all the diffi culties and dangers, an a clear perception in tho mind of this litll creature that she 1 possessed tho ability to ccomplisb what sho J undertook—in short, an.'xercise of faculties iof a much higher order ban the mere in ! stiuct which is common/ supposed to guide and govern the lower astnals in all their I achievements'? Hy whet artifice the .pider was able, in the tirst of its attack, t accomplish what it did-, \fo 'can only conjecure, as its work was not discovered until tbeuost daring and dif ficult part of its feat ha been peoformed.-- When first seeu, it hadilaced a loop round the neck of the serpet, from the top o* wkiob a single thread as carried upward, and attached to the uoer-side of the shelf, whereby the head of tb serpent was drawn up %bout two inches fiu the floor. The snake was moviog ronn and round inces santly, in a circle, ae il tether would allow wholly unable to gst it head down to the floor or withdraw it frot the noose; while the lieroio little spider,exulting, no doubt, in the succeas of its ex.oit, which was uow aura beyond a peradveiure, was over and anon .passing down to til loop and up to the ehelf, adding thereby n additional strand to the thread, eanh of wich new strands, be- I 'ng tightly drrwn, elevated the head of the , snake gradually more and more. But the most curious and skilful part of its performance is yet to be told. When it was in the act of running down the thread ; to the loop, the reader will perceive it was ! possible for the sn ike, by turning his head ' vertically upward, to tnap at and seize the I spider in his mouth. This had, no doubt i ' i booD lepeatedly attempted in the earlier part I of the conflict; but instead of catching each ! opportunity when the "mouth of the snake I had thus been turued toward her, adroitlv, ' with her hind legs, as when throwing a thread ! around a fly, had thrown one thread after another over the mouth of the snake, so that be was perfectly muzzled, by a series of tiny | threads being placed over it vertically, and | these were held from being pushed asunder | by another series of threads placed horizon j tally, as my informant states he particularly | observed. No muzzle of wire or wicker work for uicuth of an animal could ho wo ven with more artistic regularity and perfec tion; and the snake, occasionally making a j desperate attempt to open his mouth-, woulJ 1 merely put these threads upon t stretch. The snake continued his gyrations, his gait becoming more slow, however, from weakness and fatigue, and the spider contin ued to move down aud upon ihe cord,grad ually shortening it, until at last, when drawn upward so fur that only two or three inches of the end of his tail touched the floor, tho snake expired, about six days after he was first discovered. Death of Crawford, the American Sculptor. Another great light is extinguished. The eye which flushed with the genius of an art that makes fame eternal is ruyless forever, and the hand which gave vitality to matter is as cold us the marble from which he chis eled his greatness. All that remains of the sculptor of 'Orpheus,' pronounced by Thor waldseu Mho most classic statue in the .stud ies of llouie,' is the renown his works be queath to bis country. AUieEif-i, ,n I lie den.,, of (trawOOTvi, has cause to mourn over his demise, for iu dis tant lands he won her enduring honor, open ed to American imeib'-t a pathway to Eu rope, an ajipreeiationy and by his uobl* worl* commended the admiration of tho most cultivated minds of iho age. Mr. Crawford was born in tr, s e>ty in 1838. In youth he gave evidence ct a re markable fondness for art. which uis father bad the sagacity to comprehend and culti vate. lie was a schoolfellow of Page, the well-known portrait painter, and, like the latter, while at school, preferred to draw animals or trees on a slate rather than bo working out the solution of some arithmet ical or mathematical problem. At twenty years of age he was sent to Rome, and was fortunate in making the ac quaintance of the celebrated Thorwaldsen He executed busts of the late Commodore Hall, Mr. Keoyon, Sir Charies Vaughan, Josiah Quincy, &c. In 1839 he designed 'Orpheus,' the finest production of his chis el. Next followed 'Cupid and Psyce,' 'Sap pho,' 'Vesta.' 'Genius of Mirth,' 'Adam and live,' David before Saul,' and a number of Scriptural lias reliefs.' In 1855 his fame as a sculptor, which was gradually develop ing, shone forth with redoubled lustre iu the production of his noble statue in bronze of Bethooven, which is deposited in the Music Hall of Boston But his greatest work was destined to be the last—the Washington Monument, ordered by tho Stuto of Virgin ia, with which the public are long familiar Mr. Crawford was married some years ago to Miss Ward, of this city. Ho has left several children, who are now living with his wife's sister, Mrs. Maillard, at Borden town, N. J. For tho last year or two he has been the victim of a dreadful disease, which has deprived him almost entirely of sight, and caused him to reuounce his art entirely. A malignant tumor made its ap pearance in his left eye, and in spite of ev ery effort of his physicians, increased tosuuh an extent that the eye piotruded almost oat of its socket, while the agony, which was intense, seemed beyond tho aid of art. Last Spring he was induced to leave Rome and place himself under ihc care of Dr. Fell of London, a young American physician, who had acquirod some reputation for his treatment of oancers. For a while the suf ferer seemed to obtain relief, but the efforts to remove tho cancer at the sacrifice of the eyo itself,proved entirely unavailing; the disease penetrated to the brain, and after months of anguish, which he bora with sin gular patieuce, he was relieved of his suffer ings by death on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 10, in the forty-fourth year of his age. The body will be sent home in the steam ship Arago, or the one immediately succeed ing her. It is Mrs. Crawford's wish that tho funeral services here should be held in St. John's Church, wbare he statedly wor shipped before he left for Home.—JV". Y. St raid. 'ME nut INISDM.
