An Old physician was declaring in our
hearing the other day, upon the propen-
sity which a majority of people display
in eating unripe fruit and vegetables
Said he "There is not vegetable grow
ing in our gardens that is not best when
arrived at maturity, and most of them
are positively Injurious unless fully
ripe"
II know one thing that amt so good
when it's ripe as It's when it's green,
interrupted little boy, in very conf
dent but modest manner
whats that ?" sharply said the ply
sioiau, vexed at having his principle dis
puted by a mere boy.
"a cucumber /" responded the lad.
The doctor winked at us with both
his eyes, but said nothing.

SAVING SEEDS. BE careful to save
the seeds as they ripen. Seeds from
the earliest and thriftiest plants are the
best Spare a pole or two Of Lima
beans toripen the first growth for seed
and pick the ripest pods nearest the
ground to save When you cutan ex-
ira fine melon, save the seeds. When
you gather any seeds, put the name
and year upon the paper, so you will not
mistake when you want them TO plant,
Seed corn should be particularly look
ed after this fall. Go through the
fields as soon as the earliest ears are
ripe, pick them off, lay them up in a
dry loft and next Spring when you
come to plant, you viii not be subject
ed to the disagrooable results Of "bad
luck" good luck comes of good man
agement, and good management always
pays best %. Cult.

GOLD DISCOVERED IN MIssoURT-We
have just learned from Mr. IL. w.
Stephens, who came in directly from
Gentry county, that Peter Stephens,
Esq, Deputy Surveyor of Gentry county,
made a discovery of gold on Cowan's
Branch, one Of tho tributaries of the
West fork of Grand River. Several old
Caliioruians are now at work on the
branch, making from one to six dollars
per day The gold is very fine and
light aud it is believed by those who
are digging for it, that heavy deposits
exist somewhere in the neighborhood.
Extensive placers are also found in
Ringgold county, Iowa, and a large num-
Der Of persons are at work upon them.

The Union newspaper is constantly

betrayal he has suffered at the hands
of his friends in Ohio The Buchanan

"OIr. Douglas is in a most unenviable
condition. No leading member of the
Democratic party ever made war upon
it under auspices SO unpromising to his
own future He expected confidently
that he would divide the party almost
into halves and place himself at the
head of one But his adherents in
both houses of Congress are less than
the smallest corporal guard-too small
