DEVOTION OF \ WIFE.-Thc New Haven
Register tells the following story:
\ young man who was convicted OF bi-
gamy at Newburyport, last Spring, upon
serving out his time of punishment, was met
at the railroad station by his first wife, who
took him to clothing store, gave him
new rig then presented to him $500 she had
earned since he had deserted her, and they
departed together for their former home in
New Hampshire. If he isn't faithful to her
for the rest of his life he ought not to live
long 1t is only the women that furnish sich

CRANBERRY CrLTrRE.-A communication
ia the Rur1l IHterirga contains hints on tho
cultivation Of the cranberry. 1t says
''Select a situation for your cranberry field
on clay soil, such as is not liable to bake
or on dark loan soil, or on all moist soils
where there is a mixture Of sand, mostly Of
reclaimed lands, such as can he made mode
Iately dry-thesc are well adapted 10 tho
growth Of the cranberry. In fact almost
all SOL that Is natural for the potato is well
adapted to the cultivation of the cranberry
T5i 4sd tie l''' '''''"'' ''iiS "'a'd be PTsFsF'
Prepare your soil the same as fOr sowing
grain, by piowing, narrowing, and making
your soil cyen-then mark il out in drills !
or - inches apart, putting the plants in the
drills 1--we or SIX inches apart hoe them
slightly at inst, til! the roots become lasten-
ed, and attcrward no other cultivation will
be needed. The plants may be expected to
run together and to completely cover the
soil in two or three years
The cranberry grown by cultivation usual
ly yields from l2p to 400 bushels per acre
is fruit is ~ 0 or three times as large as the
wild fruit, and Of n beautiful flavor. Ii
keeping sound from harvest to harvest again.
The trait is generally gathered in September
it Is gathered with wire-teeth rahcs made
for the purpose. One man will generally ga
ther from 80 to 40 bushels per day, with tho
aid of boy to pick up the scattering fruit
The Bell Cranberry variety naturalizes to
dry soil most easily, is larger than the other
varieties in its wild state, and is the best
adapted for cultivation The proper time for
fall transpanting is October and November;
for spring, from the middle Of March to
about the 25th Of May.
The Homcsiec7, Hartford, Ct, thus
speaks Of the cranberry:
Crops of it are rarely sold for less than
two dollars bushel, and the past winter
has commanded readily six to eight dollars,
and few could get them even at th9lnVrce.
There is no doubt that We have thou + of
acres of poor swamp land now notV orth
five dollars an acre that might be devOt3i to
this crop, and "a Sc the value of the land-to
5000 to the acre. The cranberry meadows
of Natck, Mass, we are informed, are
worth from s. 600 to 81 800 to the acre, and
| probably pay the interest on that valuation.
| There is no danger of Cutting the market
with this fruit for many years to come. The
inhabitants of Boston and New York, TO say
nothing of other cities, have but just begun
to get Il taste Of cranbcrries, and that taste
,
mand for the article. We hope to see Con-
necticut waking up to the Importance of this
crop, and by way Of giving it an impulse,
we beg leave to suggest to the managers of
our State and County Agricultural societies,
/ the importance of offering liberal premiums
/ for the best acre of cnlticatM cranberries."
! Crops of this excellent article are reported
as large as 25O bushels to the acre, though
generally bushel to the square rod is con-
sidered large yield. During the past win
ter SIS, $50, and $50 per barrel were paid
for cranberries by our hotels. Usual price
$40 to Sl5 per barrel

How TO PLANT PoTAToEs.-A pamphlet
has been published in Scotland by a farmer
named Craig, on the potato disease and its
cure By planting three different kinds of
potatoes together last year, very favorable
results were achieved. Two out of the three
varieties planted had been on previous occa-
sions affected by the disease, all were found
to be perfectly healthy and sound when dug,
and experience has shown that they kept
well during the winter. lie believes that the
potato disease may be safely attributed to the
violation of one Of the laws of nature, and
that the generation of the malady is occa-
stoned by the plants being TOO closely bred,
or, in other words, by "sub-breeding."
The lesson we derive from this is, that two
or more varieties of seed potatoes should be
planted in each hill. Scientific american.

The CooL CAPTAIN AND IHE LisF.NG LIEU-
TEHANT.-A good story has been told Of Il
liSpinc officer having been victimScd by "A
brother officer (who was noted for his cool
de.Ioeration and strong nerves. and his get
ting square with him in the following man
neT.
The cool joker, the captain, was always
quizzng the liSpjng officer, lieutenant, for
nervousness, and said one day in the pre-
scnce of his company:
"Why, nervousness is all nonsense {: tell
you, lieutenant, 10 brave man will be ner-
vouS"
Well," inquired his lispng friend 'how
would you do, thpOse the,l with an inth
futhee thould drop tthelf in a walled angle,
in which YOU had taken thelter from COM
pany of tharpthooterth, and where it wath
thertain tyou put out your notheyou'd get
peppered:
circle, why, take it cool, and spit on the
fusee."
The party broke up, and all retired except
the patrol. The next morning a number OF
soldiers assembled on the parade, and talking
in clusters, when along came the lisping
lieutenant. Lazily opening his eyes, he re-
marked:
Il want TO try an experiment thi;h morn
ing, and thee how exceedingly cool you be. "
Saving this, he walked deliberately into
the captains quarters, where fire was
burning on the hearth, and placed in its hot
test centre powder canister, and instantly
re,reated. There was but one mode OF
cgrcss from the quarters, and that was upon
/ the parade ground, the road being built up
/ for defence the occupant took one look al
! the canister comprehended his situation,
/ and in a moment dashed at the door, but il
was fastened on the outside.
Charley let me out if you love inc :"
shouted the captain.
/ Not moment was lost; he had at first
snatched up blanket to cover his cgress,
/ but now, dropping it, he raised the window,
and out he bounded, sans everything but a
very short under garment, and thus with
hair almost on end, he dashed upon full
parade ground. The shouts which hailed
him brought out the whole barracks to see
/ what was the matter and the dignitied cap
tain pulled 4 sergeant in front Of him to hide
himself.
''Why didn't you thpit on it," inquired
/ the lieutenant.
because there were no sharpshooters IN

tain.
"All I've got to thay, then, ith,'' said the
lieutenant, that you might thaiely have

two Young bloods Of this city is set down,
we understand, for next Tuesday afternoon
at three o'clock. The place selected is on
the fats just south OF the Rapids. The
"gen,lemen' are some IA or 10 years old,
and the cause of the muss is ''lady"-oi
course! One of the gentlemen" is busy
brushing up an old pistol and running bul-

day noon.
Spectators should keep at respectful dis
tance-as they would otherwise be in greater
danger than the principals.
p. S.-We understand that the "gentle
men" and "lady' are pupils in the same
school. Should the former not appear in
their seats on Wednesday, the school
''mam" may consider them as dead and de-
clare their seats vacated.--Roch. Union.
