The Great Eastern Storm.
mINorr LIGHT HOUSE DESTROYED.

Our New England exchanges are filled with
the particulars of the tremendous storm which
ragged along the Atlantic cost, from the CapeS
of Delaware eastward, on last " ednesday.-
he loss Of property has been immense, and
many persons have perished. The sea rose
great height. and caused much damage 0
shipping, warehouses, railroads, etc. The Mi
mott Light House, description Of which We
published sometime since, was carried away.
This deplorabie event IS believed TO have oc-
CURED about , o'clock on Tuesday. No light
appeared cn " Wednesday night. Mr. Bennett,
the keeper Of the light, was absent in the city g,
having been ordered by Collector Greely TO
purcla ase new boat. He embarked to re urn
on Tuesday afternoon, but the high sea pre-
vented him from doing so. AT about four
O'Clock on Wednesday morning Air. Bennett
was on tie beach aud discovered, stTewed ali
around, fragments of the building. Parts Of
the residence room and Of the lantern itself,
were seen oD the beach, and also portions of
the bedding, Alr. Benne,i's clothing, &c
One Of Benefits Life Bouys came on shore
having the appearance Of having been used by
one Of these unfortunate men who were in the
light house. lie had lashed i; 10 his back,
but the waves probably washed him out Of It.
The names Of the Assistant Keepers were Jo-
seph Wilson, an Englishman, aged 20 and
Joseph Antcne a Portuguese, aged 25. They
both must have perished.
The whole height Of the building was IS
feet. 1t was built on plies sunk five feet in
the rock the diameter Of which was eight
inches the base, and q at the top. On
these piles were nine iron pillars sustaining
the keepers house, the floor Of which was 90
feet from the foundation. The breadth Of the
base Of the structure was . feet; the keePels 5

The damage done in Boston Harbor Is very
great. Half Of the sea wall around Dew
Island is gone. The damage on George Is
land amounts to $4,000. At Long Island the
waves nearly cut a passage through. The
destruction all along the coast was very great.

PROFITS OF POULTRY RAISING.

Col. Minot Thayer, at the late Poultry
Convention, held in Boston, stated that
he had been engaged In Poultry raising
for Is years. His farm consisted of
200 acres, and was acknowledged TO be a
good one, yet with all outlay of S25,
in connection with his fowl department,
he derived more profit than from all
the rest OF his farm 1t was his opin-
ion that good policy required the keep
ing of but few fowls; he usually had not
more than 100; with two acres of land
and a running brook, that number would
be very productive. His practice was 10
have two or three houses in which to
shelter them in winter; these houses
were made of stone on three sides. 1t
was necessary, he said, to give the hens
meat or fish in the winter when they
would lay eggs as freely as in summer.
Mr.. Giles, of Providence, said that
200 OF 800 fowls might be kept on two OF
three acres of land. Their houses should
be cleaned as often as once a week, and
a little slackened lime strewed in them.
Mr.. Giles was of the opinion that
the Dorking and white Shanghai are tn
the most profitable fowls.

Leaves as Manure.

Leaves, buds, and tender branches are
peculiarly rich l.. the vegetable alkali;
besiles which they contain other organic
elements, derived from the soil, enrich
ing its surface, tending to prevent its
exhaustion, or when newly applied-that
is to other ground-to enrich it more
than specifically.
Leaves-and the remark is applicable
to the tender branches also-seem desti-
ned by nature for the manure Of the for
est land. and indeed of ground generally
wherever trees grow. The roots collec-
the inorganic elements essential to veg
citation, from the soil, penetrating deep
ly and widely; the leaves detain and
store up certain portion of them with
other elements derived from the atmos-
phere, such as are required for their
growth; and these returned to the soil
with the fall of the leaf, and there un-
dergoing decomposition, are ready to be
appropriated again. and administered
to the process of vegetable growth

PLUM TREES.

Luke Wyman, IT,, of West Cambridge,
Mass, is celebrated for his Plum Or
chards, from which he has wholly extir-
pated the warts or knotty excresences
that so often disfgure this tree. He
breaks the ground up about the trees in
the fall; in the spring following about
two pail-fulls of drainage of the cess
pool, with half a bushel of good new
loan. must be spread about the roots. adj
ding also three pintS of common salt
None of this composition must touch
the bark or roots Of the tree, but spread
about the tree in circle of two or three
feet in diameter. At the first flow OF
the sap in the spring, pare the knot.y
excresences smoothly down 10 the natu-
raj dimensions Of the limb. Salt is a
great fertilizer of Plum trees, and may
be applied TO advantage, in small guam
ties, at almost any time.

Cold, or Catarrh in Sheep.

Flock masters should be particularly
careful of their sheep when affected with
a cold during the winter months; for if
neglected, it frequently becomes so deep
ly seated as to be incurable, and ends in
phthisic, or consumption. The best
remedy for cold is, first, place your
sheep in we'll ventilated, dry stable,
comfortably Uttered; and second. give
any slightly purging medicine. with a
moderate allowance of hay, and bran
mash one fifth of which should be oil
meal Colds, or catarrhs, are not only
epidemic but endemic; be careful, there
fore where you winter your sheep, that
there be no predisposing cause in their
locality; and when they are attacked, re-
move them instantly from the fiock.-
By following these precautions and keep
ing them well fed, sheltered, aired, wa
tered and sailed. one may bid defiance to
disease among his flock.-American Ag
riculturist.
