THE PEoNY.--Among the thousands Of per-
ennial plants in cultivation, the peony is one of
the most deserving 1t is SO easy of culture
that it grows, and even ffouriShes gailv, in the
most ordinary soil, and under the most indtfer-
ent treatment. Its flowers are magnific Mt
large, brilliantly, deIicately colored, and then
they are produced in such profuson, and last so
long--sure enough, it is a flower for the million.
The rose possesses more varied attractions,
both in color, perfume, seasons OF Towering
and above all, in poetic associations yet with
out kind and generous treatment, it will not
flourish, and it is therefore only for those who
are thorough cultiyators but give the peony
couple of square feet of any ordinary soil, and
occasionally a little manure, il you please, and
you will have rich display of flowers without
fail The old double crimson is well known
and general favorite. The Chinese white has
flowers nearly as large, of creamy white, and
delicious rose color. The Humei is-a Chinese
variety, and very large, of purplsh rose. and
slightly fragrant These are common, cheap
and good. In the nursery mems catalogues are
many new and fine ones, presenting rare COM
binatons of colors and forms-Mo0re's Far.

Enormous mass Of pure Copper.-We stated
day or two since that the Cliff mine on Lake
Superior had more copper uncovered than could
be got cut by the present force in three years
We have since sscertained the dimensions Of one
single sheet which they are at present working
on, which presents the following almost incredi-
bic dimensions: forty feet long, eighteen feet
high and from six inches to three feet thick. 1t
probably weighs three hundred tons, and the mi
ners have not yet reached either end or the top
of the sheet. 1t may possible be two or three
times as large as has yet been developed. The
public at large are entirely in the dark in regard
to the riches of the Lake Superior mineral dis
tricts.-fN Y. Trib.

STRENGTH OF TIMBER.-The strain occa-
stoned by pulling timber in the direction of its
length, is called tension it frequently occurs
in roofs, and is therefore worth consideration.
The absolute strength of fibre, or small
thread of timber, is the force by which every
part of it is held together, which Is equal to the
force that would be required to pull it asunder !;
and the force which would be required to tear
any number of threads asunder is proportioned
to that of their sum but the areas of the sec
tons of two pieces of timber composed Of fibres
of the same kinds are as the number of fibres
in each; and therefore the strength of the tim
Der is as the area of the sections.
Hence all prismatic bodies are equally strong !;
that is, they will not break in one part rather
than in another.
Bodies which have unequal sections will
break at their smallest part; and therefore if
the absolute strength which would be required
to tear a square inch of each kind OF timber be
known, we shall be able 10 determine the
strength of any other quantity whatever.
The heart of a tree is never in its centre, but
always nearer to the north side. and the annual
coats OF wood are thinner on that side In con-
icrmity TO this it is the general opinion OF car
penters, that the timber is stronger whose an
nnal plates are thicker. The trachea, or air
vessels, are weaker than the simple ligneous
tbres.

A Boys HEAD Cur OFF-DREADFUL Acct
DENT.--We are informed of dreadful occur
renee that took place on Friday afternoon last,
on the Little Miami Railroad at the " Gravel
Bank" Two miles this side of Morrow. The
lumber train had passed up a few minutes be-
fore the passenger train for Springfield came
along, and as it was making the curve there,
the engineer saw, when within about thirty
yards, body apparently asleep on the track -
The whistle was blown, and every effort was
made to prevent a disaster, but to no purpose
The wheels of the locomotive were fatal to the
sleeper, instantly severng the head from the
trunk 1t was ascertained that the person thus
sent to eternity was youth who had been loi-
tering around the Gravel Banks for several days
but who he was OF where he came from, no one
could tell. His body was lying inside the rails
his head resting on one rail for pillow. The
gentlemanly superintendent Mr. Clements, pro-
cured coffin, and had the remains decently
bured.-Cin. Commercial.

The following is truly the most remarkable
instance of the petrefaction of human body that
we ever heard of. We gather the facts con-
necte1 with the circumstance, from the survv-
ing husband Mr.. Abner Phelps, who emgrated
TO this state something like four years ago, and
settled in the vicinity of Oak Grove, in Dodge
county, where he soon after buried his wife,
Since that time he has been q resident of this
county-town of Kingston. Having determin
ed upon making our place his future home, it
was thought best by himself and the relatives to
remove the remains here for interment. On ex-
humlng the body its enormous hett excited the
curiosity of those engaged in the undertaking,
and led them TO an examination of the contents.
The coffin. which was enclosed in a box. appear
ed in perfect state Of preservatlOn-hingts and
handles as bright as when first put on. But
what is the most singular, the body was found
to have retained almost perfectly its size and
to appearance was a solid massive stone, and
equally as impurvi Bis Whether it be simply
an instance Of incrustauon or petrefaction we
have no means Of knowing. A chemical anal
ysis of the soil might unfold the mysteries con-
nected with this Circumstance or disease may
have had an agency in the matter. Should the
result Of an nves,igation-which is proposed TO
be had-devslope any satisfactory conclusios in
regard to it, 4 mystery will be solved, which is
nov left open to conjecture.-Mar. Mercury.
