Wrens.

We walked the other morning, one of those
May mornings, notwithstanding our domicile is
q city one, with delightful sounds coming in at
the window. They were the notes of sweet
singing birds. What lovely music 1t was the
first Of the season that had come to our ears
and it struck chord that called to mind scenes
ofyouth, long, long ago. We fastened to the
window and looked out. Ha, ha, my old friends,
we cried, and so you have come back again
1t was the wrens, the same ones undoubtedly
that we built nesting place for last year
There was one pair then, now two pair; the
progeny, we suppose, of those that sung for US
last year. And so, we said, you have both
come for nesting place. have you Well there
is the old one, but you want another. An in
creasing family needs more room You shall
have it. Notwithstanding the morning was
rainy one, we feared our pets might feel neglect
ed, and so down we went to provide for their
necessities. How amply were we repaid the
little labor for all the time we were engaged
they were hopping about the peach limbs, pick
ing off insects and singing most merrily Who
would not cultivate such society as this Who
would not like to have their trees protected
from insects that destroy foliage and fruit
Every one, surely. Then protect the wrens
Build nesting places for them, and they will
come every spring and send their sweet notes
intoyo open window some pleasant May morn
ing, to waken you to see the beauty of SUNRISE
or lull you into dreams of the old farm house, or
chards, and singing birds Tribune.

Suggestions About Haymaking.

Some tbinos i know, and Others [ should like
to know. know that this life is too short to
learn everything that farmer should know by
actual experiment therefore it is necessary to
profit by the experience of others by reading
I would therefore recommend that every farmer
who can should take and read the Country Gen
Hen1an or CultiuGtoY, and as many other agri-
cultural papers as he pleases. / think it pays
well. knowledge and industry are what elevate
the farmer or one man above another. | know
that horses and cattle like early cut hay better
than that which is cut late. They will fatten on
it by giving them what they will eat, while they
will barely subsist on that which gets dead ripe
before it is cut. Cows which go to pasture early
in the spring will make yellow butter and so
they will in winter if fed on early cut hay if it be
well cured. It is more work to make hay of early
cut grass, than~o that which stands and dries mp
before being cut It is an old adage, to make
hay while the sun shines. | think hay dried in
the shade, is more fragrant and better than If
dried in the sun. But in haying time we are in
haste to dry it as soon as possible and get it in
TO the Darn OUT Vi tilt way vi tllo IdlL i h61FO
noticed that women who have occasion to gather
herbs forswnter use, usually gather them when
in blossom and dry themin the shade. [ believe
it is correct IF it be so with herbs is it not so
with grass? / don't know which will pay best,
to cut meadows once or twice the same season.
think it will be better to cut twice; and that
the quantity will be as much or more on the right
kind of land, if cut twice the same season. do
not know but grass would be more likely to kill
or die out if cut twice year; think it would
but would it not pay to re-seed it every two or
three years?
I wish you would persuade John Doe or Rich
ard Roe, or some of those big farmers who own
q hay-scale, to take, say two acres Of meadow
ground, cut one acre early so as to cut it twice
the same season, and the other acre to cut but
once, and weigh it in and weigh it out again on
feeding, and feed it to two steers or cattle of
nearly equal size, and weigh them every few days,
so as to determine which is the most economical
plan, or which will pay the best. should like
to see the result of such an experiment. Country
Gentleman.

HOMICIDE IN MONROE County, Administration
gentleman Of this city, who left Clarendon on Wed
nesday last we learn that on the night previous,
about 10 or IL o'clock, s. w. Boyer was shot and
killed in that place, y Donelson, brother Of
Boyers wife.
The difficulty was caused by the deceased making
indelicate remarks about bis wife, Donelsons sister,
who was then in Clarendon, and had applied for
divorce Donelson was also informed that Boyer had
said he would give fifty dollars for his (Donelson's)
scalp So soon as he heard this he armed himself
with donblebarrel shotgun, took his stand upon
the street, and in short time the deceased ap-
preached him in menacing attitude,-Donelson
telling him to keep off, and giving back few feet at
the same time. Deceased continued to approach,
and Doneson discharged large load Of buckshot into
the breast Of Boyer, who fell dead
Donelson surrendered himself to the proper author
ties. The Grand Jury being in session, the matter
has probably been investigated by that body.
The deceased.was regarded as a dangerous, turbu-
lent man. He it was, few years since that killed
Wilburn, in that county.
The family of Boyer's wife are wealthy. and are of
the highest responsibility. she being the niece OF
Major A. j. Donelson, late candidate for the Vice
Presidency.
PS. Since the above was in type, we learn that
the Grand Jury refused to find bill against Don
elson. Helena Shield.
