AN FRESHMAN IN COURT During a ses-
sion of the Circuit court at LyDchburg. an
Irishman was indicted for stabbing another
Cd the canal. and the only witness was Dennis
O'Briue, who was required to enter into bonds
for his appearance at the next court. The
recognizauce WAS read in the usual form:
"You acknowledge yourself indebted to
the commonwealth of Virginia in the sun of
$780," -, @.t>'-
Dennis-sI don't owe her eint, sir"
As soon as the clerk recovered from the
amusement at the answer, he explained the
meaning of the form, and read it over again.
Dennis-"I tell yeI don't owe her cint
It's more money nor ever saw, nor father be-
fore me-"
At this stage of the matter brother of
Dennis iuterfered and said
eye may jest say it, Tennis; it's one of
the forms of the law"
Dennis-.'But l wont. I am decnet,
honest man, what pay my debts. and I'll spake
the truth. and the devil may drink my whis
key for a month if say l owe anybody a
cint. Now cheat me if you can."

QUAcKs:-Iu place in Wisconsin, the
name of which we cabuet pronounce if we
should succeed in spelling it, resides cor
respondent of an exchange who furnishes the
following:
Odd and good is Old DR.. Nichols, who
formerly practiced medicine in Ohio. He
.tookup"the buisdess, having been "broughi
up'' to a trade and as the calls and fees did
not come fast enough to suit him, he added
an apothecary's shop to bis business, for the
retail of drugs and medicines. He had
great sign painted to attract the wondering
eyes of the villagers, and the Doctor loved
to stand in front of the store and explain It's
heauties to the gaping beholders. One OF
these was an Irshman, who gazed at it for n
while with acomical look, and then exelaim-
ed
"Ocb and by the powers, ifit isn't fue
but there's something little bit wanting in
it."
aAnd what, pray, is that ?" asked the doc
tor.
q Why you see,"'- said Pat, yod'ys got
a beautiful sheet of water here, and not bit
of bird swimming in IT."
"Ay-yes," replied the doctor; " that'sa
good thought. III have a couple of swans
painted there; would mt they be fne"
"Faith, don't know but they would,'
said Pat; "but I'm after thinkin there's
anitber kind O bird what would be more ap.
propriate."
"And what's that" asked the doctor.
"Why, 1 can't exactly think of his name
list now, but he is one of those kind of birds
that whenlbe sings, he says, Quach, Quack.

HOW TO SAVE FRUIT.

Nessrs. Elitors-I have recently learoed
from an, experienced orchardist of South
Carolina. that any fruit tree may be, made te
bloom sufficiently late in. the season to pres
serve its fruits from the froses, aud couse.
quently. present heavy crop; by the tolloW-
ing treatment: -.,.,...
In the middle of winter, when hthe ground
is most serverely frozen, place large pile OF
wheat straw or leaves around :theroots let,
ting it extend some distance in every direc-
ton, so as to cover the extended roots chat
approach the surface of the earth. Cover
this pile with planks or boards, so that no
rain fall upon the pile. Let this cover remain
until all danger from frost has passed. then
remove the cover aud the straw, and look for
a splendid crop to follow soon. -, -,
The rationale is simply this: the frozen
earth will not tbaw till verylate in the spring
if the pile remain. And while the earth IN
frozen the tree cannot bloom. But when
Ill danger is past, you can remove the cover
ing, aud the tree will bloom forth speedily:
Try it friends. ,.s h L: A.
, Burke County; NJ c., 1853. O.; g.
We have tried the application of leaves TO
the roots of fruit trees, as directed, and know
that it does greatly retard the rising ofthe
sap. The addition of the boards aud .planks
must cause a. longer retention of cold to The
earth and roots, and therefore still further
initiates the buds and blossome op the tree
We believe the theory a good one for the
purpose designed &; the ouly fear being, that il
a very late spring, the frost 50 long retained
around the roots Of the trees may possibly
kill them.-ERs. NJ C. Planter, -,

A QUAKER JoKE.-A correspondent sends
the Buffalo Express the following good thing
for the hot weather:
- X, the Quaker President Of Penn
sylvania Rail Road. during the confusion
and panic last fall, called upon the W
Bank, with which the Road had kepta large,
regular account, and asked for an extension
of part of its paper falling due in few days
The Bank President declined rather abrupt
ly, saying, in a tone common with that fra
ternity:
"M X. your paper must be paid at ma
turity. We canpot renew it,"
every WE'LL" our Quaker replied, and left
the Bank. But he did not let the matter
drop here On leaving the Bank, he walked
quietly over to the depot and telegraphed all
the agents and conductors on the Road, to
reject the bills on the W Bank. In a
few hours the trains began to arrive, full of
the panic, and bringing the news of distrust
of the VI Bank all along the line of the
Road Stockholders and despositors fockcd
into the Bank, making the panic, inquiring
"What's the matter ?" "Is the Bank broke ?'
4 little inquiry by the officers showed that
the trouble originated in the rejecting of the
bills by the rail road. The President seized
his hat and rushed down to the Quaker's
Office, and came bursting in with the inqui-
rN
"Mr K. have you directed the refusal Of
our currency by your agents :"
eyes," was the quiet reply.
"Why is this? 1t will ruin u.s..
"Well, friend L., I supposed thy Bank
was about to fail, thee could not renew a
little paper for US this morning"
1t is needless to say. Mr.. l. renewed
all the Quake's paper and enlarged his line
of discount, while the magic wires carried
all along the road, to every agent the sedative
message -" The W Bank is all right
Thee may take its currency"

foolish plan to be sending meat all over town
and each man had better raise and kill his

his neighbors out of their meat, if they ex

johnson suggested to him that If be should
leave his beef in the barn over plght-oefore
cutting it up, and then takeFit to his cellar
before daylight, and give out that it'had been
stolen, the people would lose their expected
share, and be very sorry for him besides.-
Just itexactly he would do that verythns.
He killed his beef, hung it up to cool, and
went to bed, to rise early the next morning
and hide it. johnson and few friends be-
fore going to bed. went over to Smiths barn.

it share and share alike, leaving but a wee

s@ As a weary traveller was vending his
way through the mud, out in the far West
region of the country, he discovered young
maiden standing in the door of log cabin.
He rode up to the house and asked the maid
en- for q drink of water he drank it, and,
she being the first woman he had seen for
several days, offered her ga dime fur a
kiss"
The maiden accepted the offer, and re-
ceived both the kiss and the dime. The
traveller was about to resume his journey, but
the maiden, never before having seen dime,
asked:
uWhat am to do with the dime ?"
"You may use itin any way you wish, he
replied; 'sit is yours"
"Tbat being the case" she replied, "I'll
give back the dime and take another kiss"

o certain State was persuaded by some wags
that if be did not reach the State House at
ten o'clock on the day of assembly, he would
lose his seat. He Immediately mounted,
with hunting frock, rife and bowie-knife,
and spurred till he got to the door Of the
State House, where be hitched his nag. A
crowd we're in thelower house, on the ground
floor, walking about with hats on. and smo-
king cigars. These he passed, ran up stairs
in the Senate chamber, set his rifle against
the wall and bawled out
"Strangers, whar's the man that sworns
me in? at the same time taking out his Gre
dentials.
"Walk this way" said the clerk, who was
at the same time lighting real Principe,
and he was sworn without any inquiry
When the teller came to count noses, he
found there was one Senator too many pres
ent. The mistake was soon discovered, and
the huntsman was informed that he did not
belong there.
"Fool, who, with your corn bread Z" be
roared. "You can't funk this child, no how
you can fix it. I'm elected to this here le-
gislatur, and I'll go agin all banks and in

floor this two.legged animal, hop on, as soon
as you like. Though I'm from the back
country, Pm a leetle smarter than any other

After this admirable harangue, he put his
bowie-knife, between his teeth and took up
his rifle, with, "Come here, old Suke, and
stand by me {" at the same time presenting
it at the chairman, who, however, had seen
such people before. After some expostula-
tion the man was persuaded that he belong
ed to the lower chamber, upon which he
sheathed his knife, flung his gun on his
shoulder, and with profound congee re-
marked:

manently, has never yet had rival volume after

and from the most intelligent to prove that Il is a
perfect Restorative; butread the circular and you
cannot doubt; read also the following.
HA. T#R HAyR.-People have for centuries
been afflicted with baldbeads and the only rem.
edy, heretofore known, has been those abominable
wigs. By recent discovery Of Professor Wood
these articles are being fast dispensed WITH, bat
great many persons still patronize them, be-
cause they have been so often imposed upon by
Hair Tonfcs Of different kinds. To all such per-
sons we earnestly make the request, that they
will try once again, for in Woods Restorative
there is no such thing as fail. We know of q Ia.
dy who was bald, who used the article short
time, and her head Is now covered completely With
the tiniest and most beautiful curls imaginable
We know of numerous cases where hair was rap
idly falling out, which it restored in greater per.
fection than it ever had been before.
It is also without doubt one of the best articles
for keeping the hair IN good condition, making it
soft and glossy removing dandruf, and has proved
itself the greatest enemy to all the ills that hair
is heir'to.
1t is the duty 'of every one to improve their
personal appearance though some may differ In
regard to the ways of doing it; but every one
will admit that beautiful head Of hair, either in
man or woman, is an object much to be desired,
and there are no means that should be left untried
to obtain such q consideration.-[ Woman's I'D.
