Owing to the slim supply of corn,
and entire absence Of grass, the teams

Col. Johnston is collecting all The
trains together at the South Pass to
escort them in. 1t was rumored
that the 10th and 5th Infantry and
the batteries Of Artillery would go
over and take possession Of a Nor.
mon village on Bear River,for winter
quarters. 1t is said that the Drag
oons had month s supply of corn, at
half allowance, and not particle of
grass. With snow on the ground at
that, it seems like madness for them
to proceed beyond Laramie.
There was, probably, never before,

such privations, and to whom the fu-

.Hazelauts growing on a Grapevine

The following from The Hartford
(Eonn.) Times, will be found strong
enough for the crednlous:-
Mr.. Jas. Danford, of South Wind
sor, has shown Us a natural curiosity
in the shape Of grape vine which
has clusters Of hazeInuts growing upon
it, The vine was one of large
number growing among and over a
lot. of haz9lnut bhshes, and, singular
to say, some Of the grape-vlnes have
produced lunches of hazelnuts, OF
rather union of grapes and hazeinuts
in otis: husk. The hybrid fruit is a
curiosity. 1t grows in clusters, and
presents externally the appearance OF
hazelnuts, and the TASTE, too, IS that
of a hazeInut. The germ, however
on cutting the fruit open, is plainly 2
little bunch of grape seeds, in each
instance. sTheyines near BY, (and Of
which this is ope) produce an abun-
dance Of native lrest grapes; the ha.
zelnut bushes. over which some OF the
vines grow, have the usual crop Of ha.
zelnuts. 1t would seem thatthe bush
es SO fed the vines which ran ovel
them, as to produce the curious cross
betr cen the fruit of each. Mr.. Dan.
| ford has left this specimen in our OF.
fee. He says there are more o.
them where this came from.

The Heart for Every One!

Oh! there is heart for every one,
Ifevery one could find it;
Then up and seek, ere youth is gone,
Whaper the toll, ne'er mind it,
For if you chance to meet atlast
With that one heart intended
To be blessing unsurpassed,
The life itself is ended.
How would you prize the labor done,
How grieve if you'd resign it;
For there's heart for every one,
If every one could find it.
Two hearts are made, the angels say,
To suit each other dearly!
But each one takes different way
A way not found so clearly!
Yet though we seek. and seek for year
The pains are worth the taking,
For what the life of home endears . Z
Like hearts of angels makingl
Then haste, and guard the treasure wol
When fondly you've enskrined it:
For there's teart for every one,
IF every one could find it! st'

Curious Facts about Aliigators.

cocks. They are four feet high aud
five in diameter at the base, being
constructed of grass and heritage. =
First. they deposit one layer of eggs
on a layer of mortar. and having COW
cred this with a stratum Of mud and
berbare, eight inches thick. lay an
other set of eggs upon that, aud SO
on to the top, there being commonly
from one to two hundred eggs IN a
nest. With their tails they beat down
around the nest :he dense grass and
reeds five feet high, to prevent the
approach of unseen enemies. ibe
female watches her eggs until they
are hatched by the haat OF the sun.
and then takes her brood under her
own care, defending them and provl-
ding for their subsistence. III. Luz

that there was no danger of the eggs
being hatched on the voyage. On
