BuRNs' CREEK. There is friend of ours
who collects in reservoir, over night, the
small stream Of water flowing in this creek and
manages to make his claim pay good wages
even with this small supply. His dirtis brought
in buckets to the sluice which is soon filled,
when two Cinnamon are placed at the head Of
the sluice where it connects with the reservoir,
and bail the water into the boxes from the
reservoir. Every hundred buekets-full of dirt
pays twenty.four dollars. "Where there is a

EFFECT OF THE SuS.-Mr. Bernard, on leav-
ing Horntos with his team, carelessly threw a
canister Of powder into the bottom of his
wagon, thinking neither of danger nor alarms
But he was destined to experience surprise
of rather an unpleasant character. The sun
was pouring down flood Of heat on himself
the horses and the wagon, and so intensely hot
was its rays that it exploded the canister Of
powder, which tore Mr.. BIS pantaloons and
set them on fire. Fortunately for our friend,
he sustained no other damage than the loss Of
his pants and the backening of his face and
hands. Old Sol is some pumpkins in these

the heaviest blast at Quarryviile, SO said,
that was ever lie. off on the Bolton Noun

were let off. The mass OF rock upheaved
was 2s feet in depth, and 25 feet wide by so
feet long At least three thousand tons Of
rock was removed, ten thousand being
throw from Is to 100 rods distant.
One solid mass of rock, weighing at least
Is ons, was thrown distance of 80 rods;
fences in the yicin ty were completely des-
troyed, and the tops of trees taken off as
clean as if done by the axe. The tops ot
trees in an orchard near by were takeh COM
pletely off, presenting desolate appear
ance. The pubic road which runs al the
foot of the hill was completely filled; many
of the larger rocks requiring to be blasted
befure they can be removed. One mass
which lay in the road, after being divided
into four parts, could with difficulty .be re.
moved by six OK team.
1t generally requires, in opening new

The people of this section of country
were considerable elated with the prospect
of the fruit crop, but as the season progresses
they begin to fear their iLticipations will
not be realized. The cold weather or some
other cause has caused the fruit 10 fall until
there is scarcely common crop left. On
examining the apple Orchard | find the
worms are injuring the fruit badly. In my
Orchard | believe one half OF the fruit is
more or less injured, and if they continue
for any considerable length of time, they
will strip many trees of both leaves and
fruit. But we hope their operations will be
of short duration. The worm is species
