Sad to witness.

" AM
The editor of the Columbus Journal
visited the iail,of Franklin county a few
days ago, . o on oompulsion we are
happy to hear, but to see if there exis-
ted any occasion to "pitch in" tosthe
officials in charge. He found about for
ty prisoners in durance vile all comforta-
bic provided for, among them three wo-
men in the female department.. The
Journal describes a touching scene-an
Irresistible plea for prohibitory laws
and the transfer of liquor sellers from
their bars of misory aud degradation to
the bars of the prison. 1t says:
While VIC there, a little boy
about eight years of age came to visit
his mother, one of the inebriates, and
as he hid his face in her bosom, he cri-
ed as though his little heart would break.
Poor boy Ecuddled up in his mothers
arms, as we beheld her tears streaming
down upon his youthful head, re could
mot help thinking how sad was his lot;
his mother a druckard-lockcd up in
prison. On expressing our astonish-
ment hat such scenes as this should
occur in our midst, we were informed
that such instances were by no means
rare; that husbands had often brought
their wives to get them sober, and
wives their husbands for the sam e pur-
pose.

EARLY CU~CUMBERsLFoRCING

Where the forcing Of this vegetable
is7caTried on, no time should be lost in
making a hot-bed in which to sow the
seed. For this purpose light vegetable
mould is best placed in small pots, into
which drop three seeds, and cover with
half an inch of mould. "A frame with
one light will suffice. The bed may be
made three feet and q half deep at the
back, and three feetin front, of the best
and hottest stable manure that can be
obtained. Tt should be made a foot
wider than the frame all aound.. Great
care should be taken In the selection of
the seed, as it is quite as easy to grow
a good cucuwberas Q bad one. Fhe
reason Why I say this Is; that il Is very
seldom We see q good grown cucumber
they are generally very small, and as
thick as they are long. In fact, the
greater part are nothing more than
ridge cucumbers ; and it is nothing un-
usual to purchase three kinds of seed,
and to have all turn out the kind 1 have
described They very rarely exceed
ten inches in length, and it is truly an
noying, after growing and taking SO
much trouble with them, to have them
a disgrace instead Of adding credit to
the gardner. .
The best kinds for forcing are the
Victory of Bath, and Hunters Prolific,
which, if procured true to name, will
give perfect satisfaction; and as under
tolerably good cultivation, they will
grow from sixteen to twenty-one inches
In length, they form a marked contrast
to the diminutiYs specimens We are in
the habit of seeing. A heat-from 700
to 75o should be maintained, never
using water lower than this tempera-
They may be aprinkled morning
and evening In fine weather. Care
must be taken that no foul steam be al
in the frame. After the seed is
ap, further directions as to their man.
agement will be forwarded at the prop
er time. The seed bed may be used for
) crop of asparagus or scakals after the
plants are removed, as there will be
heat left for that purpose
