FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE Discovery
OF A CoRPsE--Capt Pritchett called at our Of
flee yesterday, and gave US the following des-
criptiOn of the body found in the river near the
mouth of Embarrass, few days ago. The
corpse was that of heavy made man, sup
posed to be about % or 20 years old, light
hair and complexion, had on blue pants and
coarse boots, and is supposed to have been in
the water or s days. The skull was broken
in from the forehead, and there had been a
severe blow on the left breast. The verdict
Of the jury was to the effect that he came to
his death by violence. Foul play had I'M
doubtedly been used upon him. Nn. Gaz.

A Cold Water story.

Twenty years ago, II was the Gus
tom IN northwestern Georgia, as
indeed it was throughout the south
west, for dry-goods dealers TO keep a
barrel of spirits in the back room,
and to treat liberal customers TO a
glass whenever desired.
Fllens and Dowberry were such
dealers in one of the small towns III
dlcaled and they had Cor a custom
era clever rolhcking old fellow,
named Joe Denny, who drank whs-
key in preference 10 water always,
aud whose wife was " flesh of his
flesh in that particular. The old
couple would come to town, Trade
quite freely and quite freely imbibe
the spirits in the back room Of the
dealers we have named.
On one occasion both the old man
and old woman continued their pola-
lions lnordlnalely and as Flllons
observed that his goods went better
the drunker the ola woman became,
he pressed her to drink.
Al last she refused unless he
" would sweelen II with hllle store
sugar" l'llcns INDUCED her, aud
when the old people started home in

How to saDe Fruit Trees injured
By Mice,-E. NJ. Bradley, Esq, of
East Bloomfield, in a letter to the
Rochester Democrat, says:
noticed IN your paper Of to-day,
an article copied from the Buffalo
Express, relative to damage sustain
ed by mice eating the BARK from
young fruit trees during the late Sc
we're winter; and stating that indi-
vlduals have suffered from $500 to
$1,000 each from this cause alone. /
write for the purpose OF suggesting
to all who may have suffered in this
way, that il they will take the trouble
10 protect the injured part of the tree
iron the air, that III nine cases out
of ten the tree will thrive aud show
but very little Injury from the wound
4 very economical and expeditions
method of accomplishing this is TO
,ake dish of grallIng wax, KEEP,
sufficiently warm to spread easily,
and apply 10 the wounded pare with
a common paint brush, and pressing
IN TO this "A small piece OF whlle
wrapping paper or cotton cloth, to
Keep the wax from running when
The sun shines upon II. Pieces of
iarred or waxed cloth tied tightly
about the wounded part will effect
the same end, but the former method
is cheaper and more easily applied,
/ have in this way saved many
valuable trees that had been badly
eaten, and one not acquainted with
the process would be surprised to
see how many trees could be saved
in this way in single day. A single
man will dress from Two to four hun
dred trees in one day IN the above
with his material convent
emily prepared, and at very irlfling
expense.

the evening late, the old man could
scarcely mount his horse, and the
good wife had actually to be lifted
and placed on the pilllon behind him.
Happily she leaned one way and her
husband the other, so that the gravi-
tating point was between them and
as she clung 10 him ins,lnclively,
they passed out Of the village safely.
Before reaching their home, how
ever, they had 10 cross a small creek,
aud when their horse stepped in to
drink, the old lady having reached
Inconsistencies, released her hold
and slid quietly into the stream below.
Arriving home the children inquired
for " nanny" but the old man could
only say the crltler hadn't kicked
nary time so he couldn't say where
she mout be p' and threw himself
stupid on the bed.
Girls and boys flew along the road
the old man had come, yelling 'mam-
my nanny !" but, of course, no
nanny responded.
When they arrived at the crock.
the oldest girl shouted, there she is
sitting down in the creek :"
And there she was seated comfor-
tably in the water, which come near
ly up to her mouth. Asas she sway
ed back and forth, now yielding To
the impetuosity Of the stream, and
now resisting 1t with some success,
the muddy fluid would occasionally
wet her lips, and each time ii did so,
she would family exIlaim with
grim effort to smile:
" Not a drop more, Mr. Fllens,
'thout its swee,ened." And ii is to
this romantic little incident Ia the
life Of the venerable Mrs. Joe Denny,
that VIC are indebted for one of our
popular coloquial phrases.

Mountains and Grass Tie
following extracts are from Ruskln's S
+" Modern Painters"
Mountains are, TO the rest Of
the earth, what muscular action is to
the body of man. The muscles and
tendons of It's anatomy are, in the
mountain, brought out with force and
convulslye energy, full OF expression,
passion and strength, the plains aud
lower hills are the rcpose, and the
eilorless motion Of the frame, when
It's muscles lie dormant and concealed
beneath the lines of It's beauty, yet
ruling those lines ~ their every undu-
lalioD. This, Then, is the first grand
principle of the truth of The earth.
The spirit Of the hills is aclon-lhat
Of the lowlands, repose and be-
tween these there IS to be found
every variety of motion and of rest,
from the inactive plain, sleeping like
the firmanenl, with cities for stars, to
the fiery peaks, which with heawng
bosoms and eXauliing limbs, with the
clouds drifting like halr from their
bright loreheads, lift up their Titan
hands to heaven, saying, ." live for
ever"
Observe, the peculiar characters
Of the grass, which adapt it especi-
ally Tor the services Of man, are its
apparent humility and cheerfatHeSS.
lis humility, IN that It seems created
only for lowest servlce--appolnled
to be trod on, and fed upon. Its
cheerlulness, IN that it seems to ex-
ali under all kinds oI violence and
suffering. You roll il, and it is
stronger the next day ; you nov it,
aud it mulliplles its shoots, as If II
were grateful you tread upon it,
aud II only sends up richer perfume.
Spring comes, and il rejolces with all
the earlh-glowing with variegaled
flame Of flowers waving in soft
depth of fruitful strength. Winter
comes, and though it will not mock
its fellow plants by growing there, il
will not pine and mourn, and turn
