casions female timdy is apt to get little the bet

SAFETY OF STEAMBOAT TRAvEL.-A correspondent.
OF the Scientific American. says
you will look at the facts in the case taking for
example, the Mississippi River and all its tributa-
rles, believe you will find that from the 1s of jan
uary, when the law took effect, to this time, there
has not been the loss of life of single passenger.
or even an injury to one upon all these waters,
whilst in the seven months of 1882 corresponding
to these, there 500 persons killed. Ia
king the explosions and accidents elsewhere in the
United States for the same period, they scarcely
amount to anything in comparison with the loss be-
fore.

AN IMMENSE PEACH ORcHARD.-A gentleman
named Davis, residing in Clermont county, Ohio,
has peach orchard of 100 acres, containing II 900
trees. Mr. Davis, it appears, left Philadelphia
few years ago and purchased his present farm-then
considered the poorest one in the neghborhood-
and set it out with peach trees of twenty different
varieties from New Jersey. AS the farmers in that
vicinity had tried for several years previous to raise
peaches for market, and had uniformly failed, they
considered the experiment of Mr.. Davis foolish one,
and even went so far as to appoint committee to
wait on him and advise him to abandon it, as it
would certainly ruin him. He persevered, however.
notwithstanding 5000 of the died soon after be-
ing planted, This was six years ago In 1850 he
gathered his first crop, from which he realized suf-
fcent to pay for his farm and trees, and to leave
him $500 on hand. This season about 5000 of the
trees are bearing, and already 1900 baskets have
been sold at 81 Ter basket. His net profits this
season are estimated at $25, 600.
