"And how much did you get for the

"Ten dollars and half, sir"
"Oh, well, then you owe me just fifty
cents"
Jones was mysti6ed, and Whitaker very
fierce in his demand, and before Jone.

fore the Green County Common Pleas fol-
two weeks past. Richard Randolph, a
relative of famous John Randolph, Of Ro.
anoke, died in Green comfy, O., last year.

before, for be had often told his neighbors
and friends that be intended to dispose oi
his property just as he did by will

was to be done? Lord Napier was con-
suited. In few moments, Lord N. and
Governor S. were flying towards London as
fast as whip and wheels could carry them.
The city gained. they soon reathed the
shop of Prince Albert's tailor. A court
suit was ordered 10 be made in two hours
time. The tailor demnrred-said he do
wonders, but that was impossible. But,
happy man that he is, he was never with
out an expedient. The Governor was re-
qu,red to strip off his black pants, and
with one dash of the shears, off came the
legs OF the pants at the knees.
There stood the Senator in his drawers,
coat and hat. Whisk went the tailor's
The gold knee buckles, diamond clasps,
and rosettes were soon adjusted. The long
drawers and boots gave place to silk stock

buckles similar to those for the knees
Next went on an exquisite cambric shirt

the cooked hat was jauntly put in place,
the straight sword was buckled to his side,
and our good friend, to all appearance, was
the elegant courtier, fit to embelish the

audience arrived, and the splendid equip
age of the Governor rolled into the court
yard of St. James. The Queen was in

received by Her Majesty in the most gra-
cious manner, who condescended to compli-

CuLTIvArINs HoPs.-A valuable dis
covery in the cultivation of hops has just
been communicated to the French Acad-
emy. Like most agricultural improvements,
it has been the result of observations made
by aboring peasant. 1t consists in max
ing the plant rsn in a horizontal direction,
instead of climbing up pole. This is
managed BY means of low trellis-work of
the simplest construction. The advantages
of this made Of calture are numerous. In
the first place it enables the grower to in
vestigate the plant while growing, and to
cleanse it from the numerous insects which
injure it to so vast an extent; then it is
protected from the sun, which always de-
s,roys the upper shoots; it obviates the
great destruction of hops in stormy wealth
er, when the winds lay low whole hop
grounds from the height of the poles and
most of all, it enables the gathering of the
cones to take place without uprooting the
plant, besides permitting the selection of
the ripest ones at first, and preventing the
great loss which arises from the necessity
Of tearing down the whole plant TO get at
the ripest blossoms.
BucKwHEAr FOR Mich Cows.-An
County, N. Y. Dairyman, s. C. Roe, feeds
largely of buckwhest, without grinding.
The grain is boiled with the bulls on, and
when thoroughly soaked, put into the feed
box at the rate of two quarts to each cow.
He adds two quarts of dry meal, which the
heat and steam of buckwheat cooks-this
is sprinkled over cut hay, morning and
evening, as the daily feed of the cow. He
thinks half clover hay, well made, is bet
ter with grain, that twice the quantity of
timothy with the same grain.
CHANGING SEED.-A writer in the New
England Former says his potato crop has
increased from fifty to one hundred per
cent, by procuring seed potatoes that grow
on an entirely different soil, fifteen or
twenty mile apart from his. This plan Of
changing seed every year is good one,
either for potatoes or any other seed, such
as grain and garden seeds; and even if the
change is only made between cultivators
in the same vicinity, it is still beneficial.
PROTECT THE RooTs OF TREEs.-Most
trees in this latitude will receive benefit
by Winter protection. Nature provides
this in forests by depositing the leaves
which formed their summer clothing, upon
the ground beneath, by which most of the
vitality is stored'in the roots. They form
a loose covering containing much air, thus
securing several degrees of warmth to the
surface below. In addition to the benefit
thus derived, the decaying of the leaves
supplies top dressing of the best kind OF
nourishment for the future growth of the
tree. Stable manure affords good protec-
tion, but is not so well adapted for afford
ing nourishment. A compost in which
leaves afford the largest proportion, spread
literally, at least an inch deep, over the
whole surface under the the tree, to be
forked the following spring, viii be highly
beneficial. A tree may live and grow
without these precautions, but its thrift
will be greatly promoted BY observing
them.
