Rather Tough.

The Catocljn lNd) Wing, has been
telling a story ul a cane that was stuck III
the ground about 10 years ago and grew
an into large tree, which was cut down
few days since, when the cane dropped
out of tie heart Of the tree III lis original
condition.
The Worcester Spy tres TO surpass
this bv story OF some chairs which were
made in Sterling, some years ago, OF green
timber and sold in Rhode Island. The
wood shrunk on drying 50 that tie chars
tell in pieces, but the purchaser put them
together m a moist cellar, and left them
there TO swell. The result was that the
chairs grew, and in few days little chairs
we're found sprouting out all over them.
We believe the editorial sanct0m oil the
Soy is now furnished with chairs which
sprang from this stock.
Thee stories remind us Of the effect
which cargo of guano once had upon an
old brig. This vessel was about 25O tons
bur,hea when she received her load at the
Lo}os Islands, but by the time she had
doubled Cape Horn her size was more
than lrcbIed. When she reached Rio
Janciro she had become a Jarh OF l,SOO
,ous. and the captain stopped at that port
and after trimming cut the suPeriluous
sprouls from the inside of her hole, took IN
large lreightin addition to The guano,and
returned home thus making an exceeding
ly profitable voyage.
This latter tale can only be matched by
one from he Jewish TaImud, which IS
prolific oflarge stories. In that vcrac'ous
cronicIe a bird is mentioned which was so
large that when it spread lis wings 1t blot
ted out the sun.
On one occasion an egg fell from out its
nest. and the white thereof broke and glued
about three hundred cedar trees, and over
flowed a village. One of the birds stan
ding jr the water, was seen by some mar
jners. and as the water only reached to
lhe lower Joint Of the leg Of the bird The
mariners were about to bathe. when
voice from Heaven said, "SleP not IN
here for seven years ago, there a carPen'
ter dropped his axe, and It halh ho' le'

We haze not doubt that the above
mentioned axe was the very one used III

PporEcrrvs Dury ON WooL

Protective DuTY ON Wool
Messrs. EDITORS Ill is reported The
government proposes to admit the
raw materials used by manufacturers
duty free. Such intentions are well
calculated to excite surprise, espec-
tally il pelts and wool are proposed
TO be classed among free articles
II is believed the capital used ~
wool-growing is much more than one
hundred millions Of dollars. and that
il is not less, If II is not considerably
more, than that employed in It's man
uiac,ure, and that the manufacturer
is quite as able TO dispense with pro
tec'ion on cloth as is the wool grower
on wool.
Wool is now raised in all or nearly
all the States, and is source ol mod
crate but sure and annual income 10
millions If people scattered thrpu-b
all parts Of our country, and those ZOO
who would feel the loss OF thai suurc
OF income keenly.
Wool aud sleep are now gradually
improving, which Is well known To
result from careful attention. as was
shown on the estate Of Gen Wash
inlion, whose sheep rapid, improved
when under hIs care and declined
while he was absent ~ the ANN.
II prices became depressed to the
rate which prevailed -four or five years
snce.' and that too vi en- other
branches OF agriculture nay as vel
ar nearly as well as I {, now do,
thousands Of wool growers will uurn
from the. business with disgust, and
their ,fock will he low d to dwln-
die, or will he driven To the bnlc lere
or slaughtered for their pels It's
hoped our Government Will not de
prve a rIcnllure Of The rptccuoN
which il now has.
