door was ''West India Goods Store" The man
who kept i, one day cmptiod his casks of cherries
intending to replace them with now. This old la
dy being economical. thought it great pity to
have all those cherries wasted, and in order to
have them saved, sho would just drive over hor
turkeys and let them eat them. In the course of

Surely the old ma,ron could not lose tho feath-

CAPT. SMITH's BEAR SToRY.-About the year
$3.50 settled at the Lower Peach Tree, in Wilcox
county, Alabama, and cultivated few acres in
corn and cotton. besides small potatoe patch, and
bit of garden, was usual in those days. NY
nearest neighbor, John Champion, being better off
than the rest Of US, had nice gang Of hogs, and
feeling little above his neighbors on account of
his wealth, and being rather an overbearing man,
was not particular whether his stock broke into 9TH
er peoples fields or not. My crop was too small TO
feed my own family and John Champions hogs,
too, so complained 10 him several times, but got
no relief But being at old Erasmus Culpepper's
house one day heard him say, that if foot or an
ear, or even piece Of bear. skin was thrown down
In place where hogs were they never would show
their shouts there again. l went home and got the
skin OF bear which had killed sometime before,
and having supplied myself with some corn, went
out and saw about twenty fine year Odds marching
away in my field. "tolled them up" and catch
ing good runner, sewed him up in the bear-skin
and turned him loose. of he ran after the rest,
who, taking him for bear, ran as if possessed. -
The last that was seen of them was at Basset's
Creek, near forty miles from my house, only two
being alive, one running from his fellow sewed up
~ the SKIN, and he trying to catch the other-the
rest were found dead in the road having literally
ran themselves TO DEATH 1t is needless 10 add thai
John Champions hogs staid at home after that.

Cranberry Culture.

We are glad to perceive that the spirit of i'm.
movement now abroad is directed in some degree
TO increase the production Of this choice fruit A
friend has brought few vines, bearing fruit,
which he took from a cranberry marsh belonging
to MIR William Eldrid, at outset, a. place about
halfway between Falmouth and Woods Hole. A
year ago, the spot where these cranberries grew,
was covered with unproductive vines. The berry
grows upon that portion of the vine which is the
growth of the new year +; and as, for some cause,
the vines did not grow. Of course they remained
barren. But, last winter, Mr. T.. tried an expert
ment which has often been recommended His
marsh is than two acres in extent, and is flow.
ed every winter and kept submerged until May to
escape the late spring frosts which do most injury
to the vines. When the marsh was covered with
ice, Mr. E. wheeled sand upon about thirty rods,
and spread it over the surface. The best conse.
quences have followed. The vines throve wonder
fully the last season. aud are now laden with fruit
On some Of the stems submitted to our inspection,
there are three fine berries II is rare to more
than two on a STEM The result of the sanding is
so satisfactory, that Mr. E. intends to cover more
surface next winter and without doubt he will final
ly bring the whole bog into bearing condition.

COVERING TO THE GROUND UsEFuL.-In all the

account has been made Of the advantage The soil
receives from covering. have noticed that spot
covered by board pile Of rails heap of sto~ es
or no matter what on the encumbrance which has
occupied the ground for two or three months, and
ultivating it, is found much better than the adjon
ing land. Observe forest tree standing in a field
If of tolerabe size, and thrifty, it will impover-
ish large area around it yet the same kind Of
trees will grow close together vigorously, in the
forest, where there leaves form close covering TO
the ground, and at the same time the soil will be
improved. Acting on these suggestions have for
some years put my manure on clover in the spring,
which designed to turn under for wheat in the
fall giving the land the benefit of the covering of
both the manure and the clover during the sum.

more good to my land in this way than in any 9TH
err that have applied it. state these things that
the attention Of scientific men may be turned to

prevent the escape Of ammonia and other substan-
ces beneficial TO the soil

UMBRELLAs-lt is curious to observe the slender
thanks given to those who endeavor increase the
comfor; and convenience Of the human race
When Jonas Hanway, though very popular char
ncter, first appeared in the streets of London with
an umbrella, he vas looked upon with similar
feeling TO that with which the ancient prophet of
that name was regarded. The novel example Of
such effeminscy ridiculed as quite insufferabIe
and preferrng exposure to the shower of missiles
with which he assaiIed, he quietly put il down
and took shelter in cutters shop, from the back
door Of which he retreaied into adjoining street
and without further moes,a'on, got sale home
1t was some time before he again ventured to
defend himself publicly against the suns rays; but
being deemed eccentric. his singnlariiy was
overlooked and he was permitted quietly to walk
under cover. AT length so many began to avail
themselves of the like accommodation, that the
common eye grew familiar to it. few rurals
stopped now and then to gaze and wonder, but felt
rather amused than offended The imitation at
length spread from the Bond street men of fashion,
TO the men Of smock.frocks and aprons and, in
our day, there is scarcely any one, however poor
that has not umbrella. They have become as
common as shoes and stockings.
