KAINTUCK AND THE FIDDLER.

On board the steamer Indiana, on one
of her trips down the Mississippi, were a
large number of good natured passengers.
They were seeking TO while away hours
according to their several notions of pleas
ure, and would have gol or very well, but
for one annoyance. There happened to
be on board a Hoosier from the Wabash
who was going down 10 Orleans, and he
had provided himself with an old fiddle,
fancying that he could fiddle as well as
the bes, man, and planting himself where
he would attract notice, scraped away.
The fellow couldn't fiddle any more
than a setting hen, and the horrible noise
disturbed his fellow passengers. A
Frenchman Of very delicate nerves and a
very fine musical ear, was especially an
moved. He luttered, fdgetted, and swore
at The fiddle. The passengers tried vari-
Gus expedienis 10 rid themselves of the
Hoosier and mis- fiddle, but it was no GO;
she would music just as long as he pleas
ed Atlast a big Kentuckiar sprang
from his seat, saying, 81 reckon lll fix
him." placing himself by the fiddler, he
commenced braying with all his might.
The effect of this move was beyond de-
scription. Old Kaintuck prayed so loud
that he drowned the screenings of the
fiddle, and amid The shouts OF the Passen-
gers, the discounted Hoosier retreated
below, leaving the victory in the unequal
contest with the Kentuckian and his sim
gular impromPtu imitation of Balaam's
friend. The delight of the Frenchman
knew no bounds, and quiet was restored
for the day.
During the night the Kentuckian left
the boat. The next morning, after break
fast the passengers were startled by The
discordant sound of their old tormentor.
Hoosier had discovered the coast was
clear, and was bound 10 revenge himself
on the passengers. Louder and worsethan
ever screamed the fiddle. The French
man, Just seated to read his paper, on the
first sound rose and looked anxiously
around, shrugged his shoulders, and then
shouted" Ware is he ?"-Vare is he ?

POTATOES IN ENGLAND.

The agricultural article under date of
DoncasIer, England, October, the 2Oth,
SAYS.
''The crop which has in every respect
proved most satisfactory this year is that
of potatoes. There is no mistake about
the abundance and excellence of this val.
liable esculent; nevertheless, it bids fair
under the stimulating influence of the
corn market, TO reach a price quite as ex.
traordinary as any we have seen Of late
years. A few weeks ago potatoes from
the ~neighboring Isles of Axholme, which
may be said to be the potato field Of Eng

there, and 81 many large and distinct
markets does ii suppy-were 10 be had
al the rate of 6s per load of Is stone,
while now they are IS Sd and 9s, with a
tendency to advance still higher"
The load of Is stone amounts to 252
lbs. The prices above quo!ed, therefore,
of 5 and 9 shillings per load are equal'to
81 and 81 cents per 100 lbs.

THE HEALTH OF CATTLE.

The American Veterinarian contains
the following good advice towarcs promo
ting the health of cattle. There is n good
deal in the following paragraphs express
ed in a few words:
Mix, occasionally, II part of salt in
four, five, or six parts of wood ashes, and
give the mixture TO different kinds ofslock,
summer and winter. 1t promotes their
appetites, and tends to keep them in a
healthy condition. 1t is said 10 he good
against bots in horses, murrian in cattle,
and rot in sheep.
Horse radIsh root is valuable for cattle.
1t creates an appetite and is good for va
rious diseases. Some give it 10 any ami
NAL that is unwell. 1t is good for oxen
troubled with the heat. If animals will
not ca; it voluntarily, cut ii up fine and
mix it with potatoes and meal.
Feed all ANIMALS regularly. They not
only look for their food al the usual time,
but The stomach indicates the want at the
stated period. Therefore, feed morning,
ncsn and evening as near the same time
each day as possible.
Guard against the wide and injurious
extremes of satialing with excess and
starving with want. Food should be ola
suitable quality, and proportioned to the
growth and lattening of animals, TO their
production in young and milk, and to their
labor and exercise. Animals that labor
need far more food, and that which is far
more nutritious, than those that are idle.
Guard all descriptions ofofstcck against
cold and exposure, especially against cold
storms of rain, sleet and damp snow, and
against lying Out on the cold ground in
cold nights, in the Spring and Fall.

STRONG STORY.

The Montgomery Mail says that a
wild friend of theirs (Selma Tom) told
the other day the following very tough
story:
Tom says he got acquainted with a
very companionable fellow from one of
the mountain counties, who happened 10
lie in Selma on business. This was in
August last. Mountain Sprout was a
men Der of the church-but being a long
way from home, and having never expe-
rienced iced cocktail before, he "look as
much as he could wag with" Tom aid
ing and abeltiug. In due time Sprout
went home, but JUNIORS of his potalionS
followed him, and the church brought him
'sto taw" for drunkenness. Sproui, on
trial, admitted that he had, while in Sci
ma, got a little " foxy" but then he told
his brethren, the " big Jumps of ice they
had at the bar, were so very inviting, he
couldn't help drinking. Thereupon an
old brother got up. and said, that for his
part, If the young brother had only got
drunk under the circumstances of being
away from home, and falling iulo bad
company, he should have been in favor
of forgiVing him, on his making proper
acknowledgement. "But, brethren" he
wound up, "lhis matter is worse than
drinking. las downright lyingI Did you
hear what brother Sprout said about ice,
and ii in Augnst! Pm for jerking him
osa for lying!' As.d oct he went.

SHEEP IN FRANCE AND GREAT
BRITAIN.

The number Of sheep in France and in
the United Kingdom is each estimated at
$4,000, 900; but, while the English sheep
are supported upon 77,OOO,O00 of acres,
those of France live upon l32,0O0,0OO.
Scotland maintains only 5,000,0 900 sheep,

The average return of an English
sheep farm is fully six times greater than
that of a French enc. About one-fourlh
of the French sheep now consist of meri-
noes and half merinoes. England has,
proportionally, three times more sheep
than France. In France wool is looked
10 as the principle produce, and meat the
accessory. 10 England it is directly the
reverse. About 100000 head of
sheep are slaughtered annually in the
British Isles, Of which 5000, 900, belong
ing 10 England alone. yield an average
weight of so lbs. of neat meat. In France
there are about eight millions slaughtered
annually, which yield on the average, 40
lbs. of neat meat; so that, while the
thirty. five millions of French sheep yield
about the same weight of wool as the same
number of English, they produce only
half the quantity Of food.
