Toledo Nursery Association. n.---Annual
.,.....- Report. ...
TO the Stockholders:

4 o INC OLOCHUOtuCT0:
GENTs.-ln presenting report of the OPP
erations of this Association for the past year
we have deemed this the most convenient
mode of commune ting with you, or those
ofyou who are residents of other States and
therefore. in this form. submit for your con-
sderaton the following statement
The work of enlarging our enterprise has
been constantly, and rapidly going forward
since the commencement, and our efforts
have, thus far, met with complete success.
The inventory, which was carefully taken by
the President and Foreman, shows that the
stock has materially increased In quantity
and value, and is in excellent condition
the heavy rains of the past season having
been less disastrous to young plants in this
vicinity, than to those grown in eastern
Nurseries
The "Stock Account" which is charged
with all items of labor, stock, expenses, &c,
and credited with the sales, has Cr bal
ance, for the year, of SSl1 ,l63 So, which ena-
bes us to declare dividend of thirty per
cent. on S37, 10000, the actual amount of
stock issued. This percentage will proba-
bly, be gradually increased for the next four
wears, after which-the L" enlargement being
brought into market the dividends must
be correspondingly greater.
he expenses lOr buildings ana permanent
improvements have heretofore been heavy !;
bat as we now have large and convenient
propagating house, a substantial and well
arranged root and grating house, two good
offices--one on the grounds and one in town
two boarding houses, and other buildings
for the accommodation of employees the flu
tnre expenses of this department will be tri-
fling.
We shall, this winter, graft about 1000
apple stocks, besides sowing, in the proper
season twenty bushels of apple seeds, five
bushels of cherry and twenty bushels of peach
pits, and propagating as largely as possible
from grapes, ornamental trees, and every
branch of the ornamental department.
Our fall sales, which constitute part Of
next years business, have far exceeded oul
expectations, and we do not doubt our abil'
ity to sell, at remunerating prices, all the
Nursery products we can grow here. Indeed
present appearances indicate that, with the
utmost perseverance on our part, we shall
fail to meet the demands which the fabulou:
growth Of the West must create, and which
from our excellent facilities for speedy trans
shipment in the spring and fall, must, first
here seek its supply.

one about to engage in any business" will
it pay 2 We have not for moment doubt
ted that complete success would attend this
undertaking. Indeed our soil and location
render this the place, above all Others in
which to establish Nursery, on the largest
and most liberal scale and we are pleased
TO see the enterprise and energy Of the men
engaged in this business so munificently re-
warded. The establishment is now, by far,
the largest in the Western States, and, we
understand. i is the intention of the Direc-
1ors, to make it, if possible, fully equal to
the demands Of its numerous customers. e.
Nothing is more clearly indicative of hu-
name and social progress, than the attention
given by community to Horticultural pur-
suits. Viewed in this light, we cannot too
fully commend to our fellow citizens the eX-
ample set by some Of the stockholders of
this Nursery, in clearing up. forest, over
300 acres in extent, and planting thereon an
orchard of the rarest fruits. When this sub
,ect shall~be thoroughly understood. every

A New KIND OF APE.-Professor Owen,
the celebrated naturalist, thus describes
new species of ape just discovered on the
western coast Of Africa, named the Gorilla
species, the adults of which attain height
of five feet five inches, and are three feet
broad across the chest His head is double
the size of mans and his extremities are
enormously developed. They exist in some
numbers in the interminable forests OF the
Gambia river. The negroes of the country,
in their excursions into the forests in search
of ivory exhibited but little fear of the lion,
as it skunk away from man but they dread
ed the Gorilla, for when he saw man adj
vancing he came down out of the trees to
the attack, and could strangle man With
the greatest ease. The strength of this man
ape is enormous, his jaw is as powerful as
that of lion, and his canine teeth are equal
ly formidable.

fired into water, it will not only rebound
but be fattened, as if fired against hard

Douglas is still sick in that place, and will
not be able to attend the opening of congress.
WoRrH TRYING.-A correspondent of the
n. Y. Tribune writes that he has mixed one
bushel of corn with two bushels of grown
wheat and ground the mixture, and it made
good bread In this instance the wheat
ground alone could not be used. The corn
Should be very dry and thoroughly mixed
with the wheat. The quantity Of grown
wheat in this state, particularly the northern
portion of it, gives value to the above sug-
gestion, if the result be correctly stated.

We have heard of cute trick which
those wandering women called gipsies prac-
tice often on young women. \ number of
young ladies went out walking IN the
country, who met a gypsy woman who offer
ed for a half dollar apiece, to show them
their future husbands faces in pool of wa
ter near by. In their froic they agreed to it
and paid her the money, the more readily as
she promised to refund it if she did not full
fill her engagement. The girls were led to
the water each anxious to get sight of her
intended, but instead of the form and face
they expected, they saw only their own rosy
cheeks and laughing eyes below.
"Surely, you are mistaken, woman said
one, " we see nothing but our own faces in
the water" ...... u-
{" Very true, Miss replied the gipsy, "but
will not these be yonr husbands faces when
you are mawied| n .l. .ra -aH

A REMARKABLE MANA correspondent
of the Kentucky Statesman gives the follow
ing sketch of an old citizen of Pulaski coun-
ty, named Elijah Deny, who is, perhaps, the
oldest man in Kentucky:
He was one hundred and eighteen years Of
age on the 10th of September, and is as act
i've as many men of forty. He works daily
on farm, and throughout his whole life has
been an early riser. He informed the writer
that he never drank but one cup of coffee,
and that was in the year 1913. He served
seven years in the war of the Revolution, ,and
was wounded at the seige of Savannah and
at the battle Of Eutaw Springs ;; he was also
present at the battle OF Camden, ,klngs Noun
tain and Monks Corner, He served under
Col. Horny and Col. Marion, and was an eye
witness to the sufferings and death of Col.
Hayne, of South Carolina, an early victim
of the Revolution. He is sprightly and act
i've, and would be taken at any time to be
man of middle age. He is strict member
of the Baptist Church, and rides six miles to
every meeting of his Church. He has four
sons and five daughters, all living, the eldest
being now in his seventy-eighth year and the
youngest in his fifty first year, Such is a
brief sketch of this aged soldier and repub-
lican, who is, perhaps, the only surviving
soldier of Francis Marion ,Sumpter, and Hor-
Ty.
