The ROTHsCHILD ACCOMPLISHMENTS
BELIEF,-The authorities of Posen (says
the London Times correspondent have
enough to do to answer the strange appllca-
atoms that are sometimes made to them
by the Polish and German ptasantry.-
The idea that has got abroad among them
of the vast grants of land Kossuth has re.
ceived from the king of America" does
not stand aonej another impression that
has taken root in their minds is much more
extraordinary; for some time past the Off
cials have received numbers of applications
for shares in a "Rothschild Lottery" of
which they of course knew nothing ; but on
inquiry, it was found the peasant had been
persuaded that the "great Rothschild" has
been sentenced to be beheaded; But from
his intimate relations with the European
monarchs he has been allowed to procure
a substitute (f he can) by lottery For
this purpose sum of many millions is de-
voted, all the tickets 10 be prizes of 5000
thalers each, except one, that fatal number
is blank, and whoever draws it is to be de-
capitated instead of the celebrated banker !
Notwithstanding the risk, the applicants
for shares have been numerous, and the Of
fcials are scarcely believed when they ex-
plain to the deluded people that the lottery
is a fiction. The origin of the absurd re-
port cannot be traced, but it has given the
authorities a good deal of trouble The
journals lament that any part Of the popu-
lation should be in such state of ignorance
as to render belief in such story possible.

The Art of Growing Trees From
Cuttings.

Professor Delacroix, of Besancon, in
France, has discovered a mode of propaga-
ting from cuttings, which is not only sue.
cesstul in case of roses and other plants
easy 10 live, but apples, pears, plums, april
cots &c. Out ofan hundred cuttings put out
in June, all were thriving in August in
the open air, without shade or extra care,
except watering a few times soon after they
were planted His method is to put the
whole cutting in the ground, bent in the
form OF bow, with the centre part up, and
on level with the surface, at which point
there must be good bud on the shoot,
which is the only part exposed to the air !;
the other being protected by the earth from
drying up supports and gives vigor TO the
bud, which starts directly into leaf, and in
It's turn bel ps the cutting TO form roots and
the whole even forms thriving tree The
method of setting them is to form two drills
aboat three iaches apart, with sharp ridge
between, over which bend the cutting, and
stick an end in each drill, and cover up and
press the earth firmly, and water freely
Cuttings should be of the last years growth

Olden Times.

In 1927 there were but thirty ploughs in
Massachusetts, and the use of these agr-
cultural implements were not familiar to all
the planters.
From the annals of Salem it appears
that in that year it was agreed by the town
to grant Richard Hutchinson twenty acres
OF land, in addition to his share, on condi-
ton che set up pIoughing."

Currant Bushes.

Having noticed that currant bushes may
as well be made trees as shrubs, have con.
cluded to tell you how | have seen it done.
In the spring of 1921 my father commenced
garden, and among other things set cut
tings and as soon as they grew picked of
all the leaves except the top tuf, which let
grow. The cutting was gkput fourteen
inches high, and during the summer the
sprout from the top of this grew perhaps ten
inches. The next spring | pinched off all
the leaves to about half way up the first
years growth, SO as to leave the lowest
limbs about two feet from the ground 1t
brancEed well and became nice lttl e
dwarf tree. When it came to bear fruit, it
was more productive than any other bush in
the garden, and the fruit larger, it was less
infected with spiders, and other insects
hens could not pick off the fruit, and grass
and weeds are more easily kept from about
the roots-and it was an ornament instead
Of blemish. Now | would propose that
currant cuttings be set in rows about five
feet apart each way: let them b. long and
straight ones, and trained into trees

Women and Boys of Olden Times.

Early in February, ITO, the females of
Boston made public movement on the
subject ofnon.importation, and the mistress
es of three hundred families subscribed
their names to league, binding themselves
not to drink any tea until the Revenue Act
was repealed. Three days after the exam
pie of the matrons, mutitudes signed doc
ument in the following terms: "We, the
daughters of those patriots who have, and
do now appear for the public interest, and
in that principally regard their prosperity
as such, do with pleasure engage with them
in denying ourselves the drinking of for
eign tea, in the hope to Illustrate a plan
which tends to deprive whole community
of all that is valuable in life" All classes
were thoroughly imbued with patriotism.
and even children were sturdy asserters of
national rights.
Designating these expressions of public
sentiment, few merchants in Boston con-
tinued to sell the prescribed article
Among them were Theophilus Lille and
four others, who were particularly bold in
their unpopular conduct To designate
his store as one to be summed, mob con-
sisting chiefly of halfgrown boys, raised
rude wooden head upon pole near to Lii
lies door, having upon it the names of other
importers A hand was attached to it, with
the fore.inger pointing TO Lilies establish
ment. The merchant was greatly irritated.
One Of his friends, named Richardson, a
stout man, tried to persuade a countryman
to PROSTATE the figure by running his wag-
on against it. The man was patriot, and
refused; and Richardson attempted TO pull
it down himself The mob pelted him with
dirt and stones, and drove him into Lilies
house. Greatly exasperated, Richardson
brought out musket, and discharged it
without aim into the crowd. A lad named
Christopher Gore afterwards Governor Of
the Commonwealth was slightly wounded,
and another, christopher Snyder, son of
poor widow, was killed. The mob seized
Richardson and an associate, named Will
mot, and carried them to Faneuil Hall,
where they were examined and committed
for trial. Richardson was found guilty of
murder but Lieutenant Governor Hutch

After TWO years Imprisonment, he was par
doned out by the King.
The murder of the boy produced great
sensation throughout the country and in
Boston it was made the occasion of most
solemn pageant His coffin was covered
with inscriptions, such as "lnnocence is
not sae," and others of like tenor; and
was taken to Liberty Tree, where a large
concourse was assembled, who from thence
followed his remains to the grave. In that
PROCESSION, about 500 school-boys took the
lead. Six of Snyder's play-fellows support
ed the coffin: after them came the relatives
and friends of the deceased, and nearly fif
teen hundred Of the inhabitants. The bells
oil the city were toIled, and those of the
neighboring towns. The newspapers were
filled with accounts of the murder and fnne.
raj land little Christopher Snyder was apoth-
cosized as the first martyr in the cause OF

HAY. At meeting of the Legislative
Agricultural Society Of Massachusetts, held
at 1.-THE Stats House in Boston, Mr.. Hubbard.
in the course of his address. stated that the
year beiorelaSt, Mr.. Henry Clapp, of Green.
field, in that State, produced upon seven
acres of land, one hundred pounds short of
six tons of hay to the acre. The land was
enriched with stable manure only This is
considered in this section, an extraordinary
growth.
From statistics presented by Mr.. Motley,
1--WE quote from the Commonwealth it ap.
pears that Massachusetts is not losing
ground in agriculture aud horticulture, as
has been asserted, but, on the contrary, she
leads all the other New England States, ex-
cept in grass crops and the dairy, Vermont
takes the lead in these. The same gentle
man stated that not one-tenth of the hay
sold in the Boston market, is supplied by
Massachusetts. The great majority Of it
comes from New Hampshire and Maine.
