the moment of the explosion, he was driving the ball

ball out Of the barrel. On examination, it found
that the barrels bored out Of pieces Of the

Il Fish Story.-There is a man a
Greenwood, in this county, saws the
Carrollton (Miss.) Democrat, a fisher.
man by trade, who has got a pet fish
1t IS a cat, and will weigh about 40
pounds. 1twas first discovered. as we
are informed, by the fisherman's wife,
VINO lives IN ffat-boat on the Yazoo
river The process of tanning was as
follows: She had been washing. one
day, and as the clothing was placed
on a limb of brush in the edge of the
water, the fish was first discovered
while IN the act of trying to eat or
swallow some small article. The LADY,
on approaching the waters edge to
protect her "dry goods' from the en-
croachments OF her strange visitor, OBJ
served that his catfish majesty had evi-
IDENTIFY been engaged in a severe con.
fiict OF some kind-it having had huge
cash cut in its head, which extended
stsssoRa = eaE e ear" As the fish showed
no signs OF being alarmed at the near
approach of the lady, but continued to
pull at the clothing with its mouth. and
seeing the wound in its head, the gen.
erous sympathies of her sex was ex.
cited IN It's behalf. Instead, therefore.
OF making an effort to scare the fish
and supposing it to be hungry. she
stepped into her floating castle, pro-
cured a piece of bread, threw It into
the water beside the fish, which ale it
with the avidity of a halfstarved
hyena. The humane lady repeated
this act of kindness, until the tish's |
morbid appetite appeared to be graft
ned, when 1t moved slowly off into |
deep water.
The fisherman, during this time, con-
tlnueS the Democrat, had been absent.
Upon his return, the wife related TO
MN her adventure with the fish, and
exacted a promise from him not to
modest her "pet," in case il should re-
turn again in quest of food. Sure
enough, the next day, at about the
same hour at which it was fed on the
lay previous, the fish returned. and
hey ted it as before. This was re-
oeated from day TO day, until now MIR.

Large Liquor Seizure in Maine.-The
Bangor Mercury says that on the 22d
ult, the marshal visited schooner dis
charging, and took possession of sixteen
barrels of American liquors-rum, gin,
and brandy-and two quarter pipes OF
excellent Pellevoisin brandy, bearing
the customhouse brand of F. Webster,
Boston. Some of the barrels were d.
rected, on the cards appended, to town
agents. The cheap liquor was stored
in the watch-house, and the good in the
marshaPs office.

Peach Trees.-A writer in that excel.
lent agricultural periodical, the Plough.
Loom and Anvil, thus writes under this
head:
An article appeared in your Septem.
Der number on this subject, which is
valuable for its facts, but liable to do
harm with its generalization on some
points. do not think we are vet ready
10 say whether budded fruit should be
altogether discarded. The subject has
been several times discussed in this
State at our Fruit Growers Convention.
and by local societies, but it generally
ends where it begins, by each party re-
tanning their opinions. The facts are
not sufficiently ascertained as vet
The peach, both budded and natural,
depends so much upon soil, situation
and culture, that no one ought TO pro-
nounce definitely upon any point with
out careful induction of facts. The
experience here corroborates what your
correspondent says of peach buds en-
during greater degree of cold than
IL below zero. The cold here was
as low as 20o-22 in places-yet
some trees are quite full of peaches
A large proportion, it is true, have no
frult and some trees were killed, but
here some of the thriftiest growing
trees escaped. | had about a hundred
young trees, two years out, and lost but
two or three, although they had made
very rapid growth during the summer
preceding the severe winter. They
were all budded trees. Others lost
their trees.
Our experience does not coincide
with your correspondents, in finding
that like produces like in the peach
almost as sure as in corn" This is true
of the common sorts, which are gener-
ally quite small; but budded fruit |
seldom, if ever, produces the like of
itself. 1t may produce good fruit oc-
casionally, but it is too uncertain a
method with US TO rely upon.
The frequent destruction of this crop
BY late frosts, and the occasional de-
'truction of the trees themselves, are
1ery discouraging to fruit growers; yet
he rapidity with which the peach
grows, and its unsurpassed delicacy
md flavor as a table fruit will induce
ruit growers 10 persevere. And as
tatistical tables prove that, although |
easons vary withirespectto each other,
ct in a long course of time they are
cry similar, we may still trust that as
caches have been abundant in times
asst, so will they be in the future.
