irlend of Mr.. Zerubbabel L. Skyes. Every
eye was turned with establishment on the scene.
and DR.. G.. loudly demanded where his horse
was.
81 guess Mr.. Doctor Ganderluoh, if you
use your specs you'll see," was the answer OF
the Yankee.
"What do you mean ?" replied the irritated
man of medicine. "That's the horse you
rode this morning"
"Certain," responded he Of the disputed
animal, "and it was my property then, but l
guess you'll find it's another mans horse now !;
and l calculate it was another mans horse
that I bet to ride against yours.
Why, you swindling rascal" vociferated
the doctor.
easy, easy, Mr.. Doctor" was the quiet
interruption of the Yankee, "don't yon call
names; there's such thing as law /; here is
our bet in black and white"
And there, indeed, it was; the doctor had
agreed to run against another mans horse a
mile, and said horse to be rode by the Yankee.
Proof was now demanded of the property
having been transferred. This was easily
produced, regularly signed by witnesses, and
nothing was left the indignant doctor but to
try another race with the victorious mare, OF
quietly pay the debt, and clear himself os his
new acquaintance. He preferred the latter
mode but the excavations he lavished on Mr.
Zerubbabel L. Skyes, were not few. The cute
horse jocky thought it expedient to shift hi
quarters the next morning, and we have no
since heard of him.

A MILK SroRY.-A ludicrous, but some
what painful affair took place few evenings
since, we understand, in select Female Acad-
envy up town, compromising somewhat the
mistress of the establishment. Several of the
pupils mothers had dropped in, and remained
to take dish of tea. The good lady being
short of milk, sent an Irish girl to neigh
boring store to get some. The tea was hand
ed round, and some surprise was felt that the
milk did not color it, but nothing was said.
The peculiar flavor, too, was remarked, but no
one liked to speak; at length one lady ven.
tured hint, and the ordinations became gen.
eral. The mistress of the family colored
deeply, but of course could not account for it,
and summoned the girl.
Bridget, said the lady, what was that you
obtained at the grocery?
Sure it was milk, ma am, said the girl.
Milk! why, smell it, exclaimed the lady,
handing her the jug.
An troth. it's gin, or my nose desaves me.
But sure it's milk l asked for,-and don't
go there every day for that same kind Of milk
for you, ma'am?

rents quilted the house, after very formal
leave-taking, and that several of the yonng Ia
dies were hastily summoned home.-.N Y

spotted rhscals, who were now doubly enraged
by the resembling blows.
The tree fell with its top against the sum-
NIT of the ledge, and we assembled its trunk
and escaped. Before we left we just took q
farewell glance atour bafied belligerents, who
had then taken possession of our rock, and
were engaged in swapping handkerchief
dropped by one of us. We formed line, and
shot at them and then left.

who, knowing antidotes for this poison, refuse

The weed to which I refer grows from
twelve to eighteen inches high, one stalk,

from one to two inches apart. This weed is
surmounted with small blush blossoms that
have five leaves; three on the lower portion

OLIVE vs. LARD OIL.-At a late meeting of
the Farmers Club, connected with the Amer.
lean Institute, Prof Mapes asserted that what
" we receive as pure olive oil in the MARKET
is nothing more nor less than the surplus lard
sent by our pork merchants to France, where
it is transformed into the genuine article of
sweet oil, and returned to be used at the table
OF those very persons who exported it in the
solid state" This is certainly refreshing in.
formation for the lovers of pure sweet table
oil among us and is no doubt perfectly true
We venture to say that one.tenth of the oil
sold for that of the olive, in our country, is
nothing else than lard OIL
Any person can convert the common lard
oil sold for burning in lamps, into as good
sweet oil as that which is generally sold for
olive oil, by the following process: Take, say
about quart of the common oil, and place 1
IN clean tin pan, and set II on a stove bring
it up to about the heat of scalding water, and
then add about one-quartcr Of an ounce of sal
soda dissolve in half tea-cupful of hot water.
Stir this into the oil for about FIVE minutes.
then take off the vessel, and allow it to cool.
When the sediment settles on the bottom Of
the vessel, the clear should be poured off into
clean bowl through white cotton cloth. to
strain it. The oil obtained by this treatment
is sweet and pure, excellent for oiling fine ma.
chnery, and for making perfumed oil for the
hair. ''N

A VALENT1NE.-A bachelor friend of ours
got valentine which "opened" beautifully.
The fair writer sang in sweet rhymes that she
was dying to learn secret which he cruelty
kept shut up in his heart. 1t was not to know
if he had wealth--it was not to know if he
had health-it was not ascertain his pedigree,
and learn if he had noble blood in hisveins
for love despised all such considerations.
But would he tell her, and cure the wound in
her soul--and thrill maiden's heart with in
efable joy; would he tell her, and confer
happiness upon her which riches and honor
could not bring-would he, tell her-how
much he paid for that new wig!

and they can only be restored to fertility BY
a iudic;ons admixture of all. On all lands IN
which Vegetable matter is wanting, lime may
even do harm to the immediate crops. A
consideration of the circumstances above ao-
verted to are sufficient to induce the entire
abandonment of it. Where soil has been I'M
poverished through its unskillful application
or bv large admixtures Of lime and mari for
series of years, new additions are waste o.
material and labor. When natural Cause'
have removed the superabundance, and pro
duoed an accumulation of those other substan
ces which, when associated with lime, increase
the productiveness of the soil, its use may b.

LIME IN AsRroULruRr.--Prof johnson
says, the effects of lime are greatest when
well mixed with the soil, and Kept near the
surface within easy reach of the atmosphere.
Its value is greatest upon newly ploughed ar.
able surface soils. Such soils usually contain
a large amount of Vegetable and other organic
matter, hence the rule that lime ought always
to precede putrsscent manure when old leas
are broken up for cultivation. 1t produces
greater proportional improvement on poor soils
in their natural state, than on such as are
richer; as naturally poor soils contain great
er or less quantity Of organic matter, but are
nearly destitute of lime. On the other hand.
on poor arabic lands which have been worn
out by repeated lining and cropping, it does
no good whatever, as such soils, if they do not
already abound in lime, are generally desti.

ganic, by which healthy plants are nourished,
