TIT DEAD SEA ExPEDITIoN.AWe arc
pleased to learn from private letters that the
Dead Sea Exploring party have successfully and
satisfactorily completed their task, and returned
to Jerusalem, where they we're the 18th of MAY.
They have sounded the sea in all its parts, 10
the depth Of COO fathoms, and found the bolton.
crusted with crystalized salt. The presidential
effects attributed to the water turns out to DO
fabulous. Ducks were seen skimming over the
surface, and patridges abounded along the shore
The party were upon the sea in their boats or
encamped on its borders for some two months
and their researches and estimates have been Of
the most thorough and interesting character.
All were in excellent health and spirits, no
sickness or accident having occurred. BY the
Arabs they had been received and uniformly
treated with the utmost kindness and attention.
The Syrians consider "the men Of the Jordan"
as they call them, the greatest heroes Of the day
Licutenants Lynch and Dale will visit under the
most favorable circumstances all the places made
memorable in Scripture history and we ma,
expect from them highly interesting account OF
their explorations Of the Dead Sea and their ad.
ventures in the Holy Land.-Boston Transcript;

Sailing and Curing Hay.
Editors Of the Albany CVhirator.

Editors Of the Albany CDHirator:
In the January number Of the Cutiva-
tor, find some remarks of yours on salt
ing hay for stock, which are somewhat
different from my views on the subject
Your statement that salt may be properly
used TO prevent damp hay from being dam
aged, does not agree with my experience
on the subject AS Ear MS have observed
the salt Increases the dampness aud should
be sparingy used on wet hay as well as dry.
Most farmers, in the hurry OF the hay.ma.
king season. are apt In house too much Of
their hay, in a green. damp state, aud use
salt so prolusely as TO injnre it, and the
stock that consumes il. Stock need but
little salt in winter, aud more than 10 make
their food palaleable. must have contrary
effect, aud be eaten from necessity rather
than choice.
My practice is 10 cure my hay properly
and put two quarts of fine salt to ton, Ia.
king care TO have the Jumps well pulyerized
Curing hay in the cock is the only right
way, though most farmers are slow to be-
lieve il, and many have condemned the
practice because they have not patience to
wait long enough, know Of no other way
10 cure clover without serious loss.
Yours, &c. u. S. CURTIS.

and bed-fellow, by long labor had succeeded in
educating himself, and was nearly prepared to
enter upon the practice Of the law. He recev-

small town in Maine, and the next news we had
of him came in a letter Of his own hand writing,
dated in jail praying for efforts in his behalf, to
save him from the severe penalty which would
follow his condemnation for robbing letters of
their contents. Letters had been rifed, their
contents stolen, the money identified and traced
to him, and he was found guilty. in spite of all
efforts to save him, and sentenced to seven years
imprisonment, in the penitentiary or county Jail
lie chose the latter. When first accused he was
engaged to a beautiful and accomplished wo-
man, who with a true woman's heart, chung to
him and his fortunes, the more fortune seemed
to irown upon him. With efforts worthy of
manhood and better cause she Struggled and
toiled to avert the terrible sentence of guilty"
and its consequent infamy; but in vain. Thro'
abuse, encouragement, and obloquy, she waver-
ed not, ill the fearful word fell from the court,
and thensin fit she sank upon the floor. Well
it had been If she had passed away forever in

REMARKABLE ADVENTURE WITH BEAR
1t was one day during the present week, that
two boys, sons OF Seth Names of Bradford town
ship, Pa, one perhaps fifteen and the other not
over eight or ten years of age, discovered
large bear carrying a sheep through one of the
fields The oldest boy ran to the house, got
gun, gave chase, and on coming up to it, shot,
and wounded it in the nose He then commence
ed reloading his gun, and while he was doing
so, his little brother ran forward, or by some
means (the particulars we did not Iearn) became
engaged with the bear. The older brother then
ran 10 the relief oil the little fellow, and when
he reached him received a stroke from the bear
on the arm, which knocked him down, and the
three then rolled together, gun and all. Pres
emily the elder brother got loose, pulled the gun
from under the bear, and while It was holding
the child in its arms, deliberately shot it dead.
The bear is represented 10 have been a very
large one, and 10 this fact perhaps, the lesser
boy is indebted for his life, and perhaps both of
them, as his arms were too long to crush so small
an object, and the wound in his nose prevented
him from biting Ciedrfeh BaRner
