ARBER'S POLE,

Rove not from POLE TO PoLE but here turn in
The origin of the BARRIERS Pole is to be
traced 10 the period when the Barriers were
also surgeons, under the denomination Of
Barber Surgeons, or Barber Outrageous,
none other in former times being allowed to
let blood To assist in this operation, it
being necessary for the patient to grasp a
staff, a stick or pole was always kept by the
Barber Surgeon, together with the fillct or
bandaging used for tying the patients arm.
When the pole was not in use, the tape was
tyed to it, that they might be forthcoming
when wanted. On person coming TO be
bled, the tape was disengaged from the pole,
and bound round the arm, and the pole was
put into the persons hand after it was done
it was again tycd on, and in this state the
pole and tape were often hung at the door fol
a sign or notice to passengers that they might
there be bled. AT length, instead of hang
ing out the identical pole used in the opera.
ton, pole was painted with stripes round it
in imitation of the real pole q. its bandagings
and thus came the sign.
A few years since, land almost every Bar.
Der in Philadelphia drew teeth, bled, cuppet
and leeched, besides operating on the chin
Times have changed, to be sure, and with ;
very few exceptions, only in some of the up
per districts, do we see any thing Of this un
ion of occupations.
In England, too, the custom which unite'
the three branches of business has long sine
ceased, but formerly it must have obtained
generally. We remember of reading tn
following lines forty years ago. which W
then considered descriptive Of an obsolete
custom:
His pole with pewter basons hung
And rotten teeth in order strung,
Might well his three-fold trade explain
To shave, draw teeth, and breathe vein.'

trees were moved down like grass before the

trees were moved down like grass before the
scythe, and left charred, crispcd, smouldor-
ing, and one half consumed. As the lava
flowed around the trunks Of large trees on the
outskirts of the stream, the melted mass stiff
fencd and consolidated before the trunk was
consumed, and when this was effected the top
of the tree fell, and lay unconsumed on the
crust, while the hole which marked the place
of the trunk remains almost as smooth and as
perfect as the calibcr of cannon. These
holes are innumerable, and found them to
measure from 10 to 40 feet deep, but as |
remarked before, they are in the more shall
low parts of the lava, the trees being entirely
consumed where it was deeper. During the
flow of this eruption, the great crater OF
Kauca sunk about 800 feet, and her fires
became nearly extinct, one lake only out OF
many being left active in this mighty caldron,
This with other facts which have been named
demonstrates that the eruption was the dis
gorgement of the fires of kilauea. The open
lake in the old crater is at present intensely
active, and the flies are increasing, as i;
evident from the glare visible at our station
and from the testimony of visiters.
During the early part Of the eruption Sigh
and repeated shocks of earthquake were felt
for several successive days near the scene o
action.

From the farmers Monthly Visitor.
HOW DOES THE CLIMATE AFFECT
THE STAPLE OF WOOL.

The manner in which our Two distinguish
ed friends, Colonel Jacques and MIR. Sibley,
arrives at the same conclusions from prem-
ses directly opposite, puzzles us exceedingly.
We have not the ability to explain or defend
either position. All we can do IS to express
the hope that our readers, who are practical
men pursuing the successful business of wea-
ming lambs and raising sheep, will not be in-
nuenced to change sure course for any UNI
tried experiment.
Our friend Sbley, whose communications
on any Agricultural subject we shall always
prize, because they are the result of expe-
rience, has fully proved his doctrines in re-
laton to the management of sheep by his
works. we should follow his advice very far
on this, as on almost every other point OF
agricultural information. Col. Jacques is
perhaps, more of man of fancy and ina
ginatlon than the Hopkington Farmer The
essays and the ideas of both gentlemen will
amuse our readers, if they do not afford il
all cases safe instruction.

U\CAGED.

Gen. Harrison arrived at Washington on the
9th inst. and it does not appear from the Globe
that he was either Gagged or under keepers -
All the accounts, however, concnr in represent
ing his progress from North Bend to the Metrop
oils, as a continued series of trinmphal process
sons. Thousands of his fellow citizens every
where thronged the roadside as he passed, and
from every window and balcony was he greeted
by waving 'kcrchicis and approving smiles. At
each stopping place, the people en- mossc gath
cred around him, and so cordial was the real
democratic shake of the hand they gave him,
that he was ultimately compelled to forego this
part OF the ceremony entirely, and one account
says he went into Washington with his right
arm in sling. His reception at the Capital,
was indeed a cordial demonstration. Nothing
like it has occurred since the formation of the
government, and there can be no mistake about
it, the people of that city regard il as the hour of
detrerancc. The votes were counted the day
after his arrival and all found true for "Tippe
canoe and Tyler too" Unlike the Hero of n.
Orleans, Gen. Harrison took the earliest oppor-
tunity to make his respects to the President.
lie was cordially received, and accepted an in
vitaton to dine at the White House on Saturday.
Ills health is very good and, according to all
accounts, he is very much the man the nation
took him to be.
