CHEAP STUMP PULLER,-Erastus Mar

other day of a cheap stump puller he had
used. He made it just like lumber
mans cant hook. The lever was twen-
ty feet long, and the hook made from a
bar of iron twoby fou- inches, mighty
stout. and the leaver stout in propotion
With this and yoke of oxen, he could
twist oat stumps two and three feet in
piameter, scarcely ever cutting root
with the axe.-Ohio Cuktirator.

The following is said to be sure
remedy for Horn distemper.
6 tablespoonfuls of SCOT,

8 eggs, and Indian meal enough to make
the whole into a stiff batter. Mix this
thoroughly together and divide it into
four balls, give one morning and evening
until they are used up. If this does not
effect cure, repeat the dose. But in all
ordinary cases it answers the purpose adj
mirably. Where this fails, it vii do lit
tie good to bore the horn or slit the tail,
Or smoke the head, &c. Cows will gen.
orally eat these balls from the hand; but
if they refuse, then mix up a little meal
in a pail, covering the ball with it, and
they will soon be eaten. We have known
some animals with hereditary tendency
to this disease, become quite healthy
and robust under the treatment.

One Of our readers inquired last spring
IL rhubarb could be freed from the disa-
grecable roughness that so often spois
it. As have seen no satisfactory al
swer, perhaps the Yankee treatment may
be read with interest. 1t can be made as
smooth as blanc mango by observing
three points; LIST, the kind; I'd, the cul-
.ieation; and Sd, the cookery. The
varieties may have had the same
parent, but there is as much difference
as in the potato--some being coarse,
green, and watery, under any treatment,
while others, with ordinary care, will be
delicate and rich in juice. There is
large kind seen in the Philadelphia mar
ket, that is smooth and rich, but the
Wilmot's Early and the Victoria, both
common, are fine varieties. But, take
a stalk from each kind, in the same bed.
with the same treatment, and there will
be difference. The Wilmot stalks are
of beautiful cherry and white particu-
larly at the butt. The test is this ::
Throw stalk of each into cold water.
and in two minutes the nice ones will be
covered with clear, gclatnous juice
Cultivate these plants and root out the
others. A slight wound in the stalk
will cause an emulation like white cherry
gum if the plant is worth eultivating.
As to the cultivation, if the object is
to raise prize stalks, dig a pit six or
seven feet deep,ill it with manure, ashes,
sand and garden loan, and in three sea-
sons the roots will find their way to the
bottom. This is not the object with all
gardeners therefore more simple mode
may be taken but this shows the plant
to be gross feeder, and one that will
not be stinted without furnishing its
master. Give it plenty of room, Is at
least. } deep digging, and thick cover
ing of stable manure in tho fall, and
broughs or litter, In the spring erect a
protection on the north to force some OF
the plants for early use, add ashes and
dig in the manure.
The last ard easiest point is the cook
ing. Pull the stalks down in such a
way as to get peice of the white butt.
wash and wipe quick, as the water draws
the juice out; cut in short pieces, with
out peeling, and put into nice stone
or crockery pitcher, (never into earthern-
ware for fear of poison.) Set the pitcher
in kettle of boiling water till it shrinks
as much as it will, keeping it we'll cover
ed. Then pour all the juice away and
restore the pitcher to tho kettle, adding
at once, all the sugar you wish, and let
it be nice, hard Jumps, and when done
and cool, it will be perfectly smooth, II
your plants arc good and in cool place.
Alter the warm weather dries the juice
somewhat, it is well to pour boiling
water enough to cover the pieces once
and perhaps twice, which shrinks them,
as we'll as the boiling process, and then,
adding the sugar, finish the cooking =
This is as important with rhubar5 as
with apples, which are far richer and
smoother stewed with the sugar than
sweetenod after the cooking. In the one
case add it dry, but for apples melt it in
the water before you add the fruit. I.

LIFE IN NEW YoRK CrY.-A New York
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, in a
recent letter writes:
A look in this morning upon the "barracks'
in Cherry street, where from yesterday were
dragged IA gang of negro thieves and receiv-
ers of stolen goods, brings to my notice a
most repulsive and unnatural phase of human
life In this horrible abode and rendezvous
of criminals-owned, it is said by wealthy
whte-are congregated by day and night,
hundred squalid human beings of both SEX
es in dens or cells, with wooden walls, like
the stalls of cattle in a market Here ruff
ans harbored and concocted their nefarious
schemes, and here, doubtless, our yellow COW
cred literati might find characters for their
novel Is, without bringing robbers from Abruz-
ri passes or rovers from the caribbean sea-
Here might be found embryo Lafttes, Black
Boards and Kids, going forth to prowl from
dock to dock for plunder; Turpins and Du-
walls, waylaying pedestrians with slung shots
and garrote cords; Jack Sheppards and Bill
Sykes's, playing their desperate game under
the very ewes of our strong prison houses. -
In such premises the prisoner prepares his
"soon-speeding gear" for whomsoever wishes
to put enemy or relative out of the way the
bravo sharpens his knife and loads his blud-
geon; the libertine finds instruments to carry
out his wicked purposes
The underground population" burrowing
in a New York tenant.house are the curse
and danger of ourmetropolis; for there is no
doubt that oath bound gangs of thiesves
wide spread considerations, of counterfciters
and receivers of stolen goods find their cen
ters depots, hiding places and council rooms
in such places as this den of Cherry street.
Here villainy grows and expands, and thence
ramifes through the city and country. How
many public riots, and private assassinations
and arsons it shall necessary for newspapers
to chronicle, before authority lays its strong
hand upon these tenant houses and their
owners-cleansing them, "even as with fire"
i know not but until the work of extrpa-
ting disorder goes down here to the base of
evil growths, we may lop off branches and
shoots forever without decreasing the plaques
that surround our community
