What our fine Fruits hare Sprung From.
The peach, originally, was a poisonous
almond. Its flesh parts were then used TO
poison arrows, aud it was FOR this purpose
introduced into Persia. The transplaniing
and cultivation, however. not only removed
its poisonous qualities, but produced the de-
iciuus flui, we now enjoy.
The nectarine aud apricot are natural by.
bridations between the peach and plum
The cherry was originally berry like
fruit, and cultivation has given each berry
a separate stem, and improved its quality.
The common mazzard is the original VI
most Of the present kind Of cherries.
The common wild pear is even inierorto
the choke pear, but still, by cultivation, il
has come to rank among our finest fruits.
The cabbage originally came from Ger
many, and IL nothing more than common
SCI. kale. Its cultivation has produced the
present cabbage, and its different atclima-
,ings the different kinds while its ny btida.
tons with other similar plants has produced
the caulinowcr.
This shows the benefits Of cultivation in
the vegetable world; but the change which
cultivation has effected in the mind Of man
is infinitely grca,er,-Am. dgriculiurist.

Manuring by Means of Glover.

Messrs. Editors,-The practice of manur-
ing by means of turning down second crops of
clover for wheat, and the experience that
teaches it is by far the cheapest and most eff
ficient of all dressings, seems to have taken
possession of the agricultural community in
many parts of the country, particularly where
the farms are so large that 1T gives them the
heart ache, even to think of carrying abroad
and spreading manure from the cart" The
fact is, manuring by means of clover, has in
troduced new era in farming, and it begins
to be seen tina. one half the objection to large
farms is done away, when by some intelligent,
enlightened cultivator, the system has been
adopted and properly pursued. Twas good
deal amused while at the house of friend
who was turning down crop of clover two
tons to the acre for wheat, to hear his wife
coax him to permit the cows to be turned into
it for single day but he would not spare an
ounce of it for love or money.-BOSton Culi-

Bones and Sulphueric Acid.

Mr. p. Davis, of Milton House near Penn
bridge, Herfordshire, England, stated before
the Agricultural Monthly Council, that with
reference to Mr.. Pusseys suggestion as to the
propriety of using bone dust dissolved in
sulphuric acid along with compost instead of
water, for turnips, I" l can confirm his idea
from practice, having last year MANFRED 2
acres with only IL bushels of bone dust dis
solved in 27 lbs. of the acid and $50 gallons of
water. After standing "a hours, the liquid
was mixed with three cart loads of coal ashes
and left to remain week, during which time
it was turned over two or three times, the
mixture was then drilled along with the seed
and the result was a fair crop of common
turnips off piece of poor land, without ma
nure, and at cost of only 12s cd. per acre."
Hon. GEORGE EVANS of Maine arrived in
the city this morning. He is engaged in the
advocacy of some case in the Supreme Court.
There is scarcely politician in the country
so popular with both parties as Mr.. Evans
though he ever has been, and is, warm,
devoted, sincere Wing. His popularity is a
tribute to his many private virtues, and to the
absence of anything like acrimony or malice
in his political conduct.-N. !, Tribune.

The Large Oxen.

The large oxen, now exhibiting at the sta
bic Of the Commercial House, are, considering
everything, the finest we have ever SEEM
cake, but are we'll built, firm and sinewy.-
The size to which they have attained, consid-
ering they have always been worked hard, is
surprising. Their girthis feet and inches ;
extra keeping and freedom from labor would
greatly increase their size. They were raised
in Kennebec County, but are now owned by a
gentleman of Cape Elizabeth.

the place of the Monongahela, in Cope's line
of Philadelphia and Liverpool packets, was to
be launched from the ship yard of Vaughn 4
Lynn. She is to be commanded by Captain
L. Turlcy. The Tuscarora is the largest mer-
chant ship ever built at the port of Philadel
pha, and with one exception only, the largest
merchant ship in the American service. She is
1000 tons, carpenters measurement, or equal
in size to most of the frigates in our navy
Her total cost will be in the neishborhood OF

The New Application.

One sultry day, wolf of president and a
lamb of general happened to come at the
same time to quench their thirst in the stream
of public opinion, that ran tumblng down the
side of rocky mountain. The president
stood upon the higher ground, and the gen.
eral at some distance from him, down the cur
rent. However, the president having mind
to pick quarrel with him, him what he
meant by disturbing the water of public opin-
ion by writing letters, and making it so mud
dy that he could not drink, and at the same
time demanded satisfaction. The general
amazed at this threatening charge, told him in
tone as mild as possible, that with humble
submission, he could not conceive how that
could be, since the water which he drank ran
down from the president to the general, and,
therefore, could not be disturbed so far up
president, you have been publishing letters,
and have been told that you have treated
me with ill language behind my back. Upon
my word, says the general, have done no
such thing. The president finding it to no
purpose to argue any longer against truth, fell
into great passion, swearing and foaming at
the mouth as if he had been mad and drawing
near to the general "Sirrah," says he, "if it
was not you, it was General Gaines that
published the letter, and that is all one to me-
So he seized the poor innocent general and tried

that instead of lamb, the wolf got hold of a
bear, which happened to have lambs skin
over his head, but will perhaps tear the wolf
to pieces before the Ides of November-who
knows.
