The use Of Fruit.

Instead OF standing in any fear Of a
generous consumption of ripe fruits, we
regard them as positively conducive 10
health. The very malailies commonly
assumed to have their origin in free
use of apples, peaches, cherries, melons,
and, wild berries, have been quite as
prevalent, if not equally destructive, in
seasons of scarcity. There are SO many
erroneous notions entertained of the bad
effects of fruit, that il is quite time a
counieracting impression should be pro-
mulgaied. having its foundation in COM
mon sense and based upon the common
observation of the intelligent. We have
no patience in reading rules to be observ-
ed in this particular department of phys
ical comfort. No one, we imagine, ev-
er lived longer or freer from the parox-
ysms Of disease, by discarding lae de.
licious fruits Of the land IN which he
finds home. On the contrary, they are
necessary to the preservation of health,
and are therefore caused to make their
appearance at the very time when the
condition of the body. operated upon by
deteriorating causes not always under
stood, requires their grealful renovating

Death Of the lnebriate.

Ii, is sad death. There is no com.
fort on that dying pillow. No sweet re-
pose. No voice of friendship bidding
adieu. No lighting up Of joy in the de-
parted spirit.
II is frequent death. Two every

A Gre,., Cheese Mill.

The ST. Louis Reveille tells of an
extensive cheese manufactory in Ten
nessee. Some idea of It's magnitude
may be gathered from the following con.
versaiiog.
Two men were seated at table in
Nashville, drinking ale and eating crack
efs and cheese. Their conversation at
length turned npon large cheese.
That was very large cheese presen-
ted TO General Andrew Jackson, said
one.
Yes, i,weighet nine hundred pounds
aud upwards answered the other.
A young gentleman who vas sitting
reading newspaper in the same room
inquired
How much did you say sir!'
Mine hundred and upwards, answer
ed the other.
That is about half as large as some
that my father makes in this country,
was The young gen,leman's reply, His
cheeses generally average two thousand
pounds
two thousand pnunds!' exclaimed
the strangers in perfect astonishment
Why how does he manage dairy ca.
pable of making such an enormous chez
ses!' inquired both simultaneously.
Very easy replied the young man;
he has an extensive trough, leading down
the side of large hill on his place, and
half way down there is an immense val;
The cows are MIXED in the trough and
the same run into this reservoir, about
middle way on the side Of the HILL
Leaving the strangers to digest this
description, the young man coolly laid
down the paper and walked of. Pres
emily the landlord walked in.
DO you know tina, young man who
lei, the room few minutes since!' said
one OF the strangers.
Yes SIR said The landlord; he is the
sonof dairy owner in this county,
| What is his character for truth and
veracityl inquired the Strangers.
Il never heard il doub,ed,' replied the
landlord.
MY reason for asking YOU, said the
stranger it that he has been telling us
that his father manufactures cheese a
his dairy, in this county, which aver.
age two thousand pounds
Il don't know anything abont ths
weight of HE cheese, answered the
landlord, but know that tins old mar
runs, at the bottom Of the hill, two saw
mills. which are driven the whole yea
round by the whey which runs from his
cheese press.

our horses! quietly remarked the travel

stock, Raising.

tits gratifying TO see the farmers oi
the country exhibiting so much interest
in the selection Of animals for the i'm
proyement Of their live stock. This is
the FIRST step towards agricultural wealth
in country SO remote from market as
our own. II is perfectly impossible for
farmer ever to become wealthy by
raising inferior animals, for they require
as much food and as good attention as
those that would sell for double price,
and then they are much duller SALE
In times oi low prices, none but superb
or animals will be sought for, while the
inferior are forced upon the market at
great sacrifices. Where, in the west, do
we find the greatest amount Of agricultu-
raj wealth! 1t is those countries which
! first moved forward in the importation
4 of fine stock. Look at the interior of
Ohio and Kentucky, and there we find
our question answered most EN- 2hatical-
fly. The great importing company of
Ohio, embracing the Renicks, the Neffs,
of Cincinnati, the Cunninghams, and
I Van Meters, of Kentucky have confer
red incalculable benefits upon their res
peclive States. By strict attention and
proper crossing, they have attained de-
gree of perfection almost unequaled in
the world. We noticed the description
of a bullock, recently the property of
some gentleman in Ohio that has attain
ed the enormous weight OF 1000 lbs.
gross.
4 And so confident are they of his su;
periority, that they will shortly start him
to the Worlds Fair TO compete with the
best animals of Europe.
Agricultural Fairs have beer a most
efficient means in the improvement OF
stock, and have tended to get the best
breeders throughout the country. Ii is
at these she ws that thousands, OF persons
meet annually, and witness the superior
ity OF the improved over the naive
breeds. 1t is here that the advancement
is noticed, and the impetus impaired to
the spirit of improvement. Ii man is
unsuccessful this year, he returns home,
delighted that some person has still IL
ner animal Than he has. and determines
10 take the ..biue ribbon next year.
Itis this spirit of competition, togelh-
er with the real improved value of AMI
mails that has produced such wonderful
results.
We notice that those countries that
have kept up societies of this kind, and
fostered them through pecuniary adversi-

A CURIOUS STORY.

A writer IN the Pnliadeipma ounGay
Dispatch gives The following, as one OF
the experiences of an editor of daily
paper in that city:
There were so many persons who
visited the editors with design TO dis
cuss in rather a summary manner the
subject Of their grievances, that these
little embellishments (pisiois) seemed
somewhat Indispensable. II does moi
appear, however, that they were ever
{ called into active use, sight of them
usually answering a very paclficalory
purpose. One day, whenihey were out
OF siohi, a tall, stout, athletic person en-
tered the editorial room very quietly, and
rerceiving the gentleman piesen, whom
he especially wanted, he carefully clo-
sed the door, locked it, and deposited
the key in his pocket. The editor, who
was engaged in writing, looked up, eyed
these notes of preparation with some
anxiety. and placing his hand in his coat
bosom awaited the result. The visitor
after assuring himself that there were
no eaves-droppers, took sea. opposite
The editor, aud for a moment they gaZed
calmly and SILENTLY at each other. The
one, as we said, was tall, round, well
built and solid figure OF mankind.-
The other was short, slim, apparently
active and strong, and evidently dispo-
sed to take some prompt measure Of de-
fence, if suddenly called upon. ! he

Tothis there was no reply, but a sort
