A Virginian proposes, in the Richmond Wing
to be one of hundred to offer $40 900 reward
for the safe delivery of Joshua R. Giddings in
Richmond, or $4,000 " for the production Of his
head the said Giddings - having openly de-
clared himself a traitor in lecture at Phila-
delpha." Our Virginia friends, in their anxi
ETY. to catch "a g traitor would very certainly
catch a " Tartar" il they should get possession
of the. veteran Congressman. Mr.. Glddings is
much more likely to visit Richmond voluntarily
than the Rchmonders are to raise $4,000.

PLANTING POTATOES IN THE FALL Mr.. e..
o. Bundy, of Oxford, Chenango County, N.
Y, writes 10 the Genesee Farmer that he
plants his potatoes in the fall, and obtains
larger crops, and larger, earlier, and better
favored potatoes than when planted in the
spring. His method Of planting is as fol-
lows:
Select piece of dry ground, prepare it
as for spring planting, any time In the fall
when the ground is in good order, taking
care to plant the potatoes little deeper
than in the spring planting. Throw shovel
full of coarse manure uponAor, still better,
into each hill or, better still, cover the sur
face of he ground with coat of straw
where mice are not too plenty. The straw
helps TO protect; the potatoes scarcely need
hoeng or blowing"
Mr. B. says he has raisad potatoes in this
way for several years past, and they are IN
variably free from the Tot and at least two
weeks earlier and two or three sizes larger
than in spring planting.

Curing, Smoking and Keeping Hams.

Curing. Smoking and Keeping Hams.
Formerly, tried keeping hams and shout
ders in salt, and also ingram, but they would
dissolve IN the salt or mould in the grain. L
then tried keeping them in pounded charcoal
with no better effect next tried dry ashes,
but unless the hams were very dry when put
up they would taste of the ashes. | then
tried sewing them up in coarse cloth and
withdrawing them several times oyer, as L
had seen them in that condition in the mar
ket; but they did not keep well-would
either mould or the lime would crack and the
flies get in.
For number of years l have adopted new
method and never failed to keep them sweet
and free from mould or flies. prepare a
sack foreach ham. A yard square of god
sheeting is sufficient for a good sized ham,
After the hams are smoked, and before any
flies have infected them, | put them up one in
a sack. I take sweet hay, and cut it lin a
cutting box) about one inch long, and fill in
the sack and around the ham, so that the ham
cannot touch the bag. Tie cord around the
open end and hang them up in the smoke
house or some cool, dry place, and they can
be kept any length Of time; the bag and hay
will keep away the flies and allow the mols-
ture to escape so they will not mould.
Hams should always be cured before they
are smoked | have seen several recipes IN
the Rural for curing hams. The following Is
my method, and have often been asked now
| could keep them through the summer and
have them so fine flavor:
TO one gallon of wa, Ell take one and halt
pounds of good salt, one half pound of SUI
gar, and half an ounce of saltpetre-to be
Increased in the ratio to any quantity requlr-
ed to cover the hams. As soon as your pork
is cold cut out the hams and pack them close
ly in your cask Sprinkle each layer lightly
with fine salt-put on a weight and pour on
the brine Immediately and before the juice of
the ham has escaped. 1t will require from
four to six weeks for the salt to strike through
according to the size of the hams. 1t will be
necessary, perhaps, to add little salt on top
of the hams; sometimes, if they are very
large, they absorb so much Of the salt as to
leave the brine so weak it may sour. 1t
would be well to take.them up after they have
been in week or two, and examine them,
and il necessary add little more salt Great
care should be taken not to salt too much, as
by doing so you lose the flavor OF the ham,
and but just enough should be used to keep
them. As the ham absorbs the salt from the
brine, it should be fed by adding a little salt
on the top, and the hams should be well
struck through. When the hams are large, !
take out the flat bone and cut off the round
socket bone with chiscl. leaving always the
large bone. With care, never have failed
to keep hams sweet.

\ MIRACLE OF COSTRIyANcE.-The Home
Journal describes an operation that is per-
formed At Easton, Penn, on the Lehgh and
Delaware Canals that would be hardly cred
ible, unless, ast the editor says, "seen done: 4"
A Just arrived canal boat, loaded with
coal, sits in the Lehigh canal, high above
the west bank of the Delaware; and she
is To be brought across the river, carried
over a small hill, and deposited in another
canal on theopposite side of the Delaware, TO
pursue her way TO another valley, TO Phila-
delphia. They let her down by n lock,
hitch her to a tow-boat which is SO steered
as to be drawn across the river on a pulley
line by the force of the current, hoist her by
another lock to q cesSpool, run railroad
car under her and drain the water till she
sits in it, draw her out and over the hill by
q stationary steam engine, and launch her
into another eeSSpool on the other canal in
the valley of another river-all in fifteen
minutes Anything more like hocus-
pocus of necromancy than the getting OF
these loaded boats so expeditiously from one
canal into another, with such changes OF
level and motive power, it would be hard to
find

African Explorations i'm Progress.

BY list of the explorations now in pro-
gress throughout the world, we learn that
brave and curious men are visiting portions
OF Africa, Australia, Indo-China, the In
dian Archipelago, and the Polar regions.
The interior of Africa is receiving the largest
share of the attention of explorers. An
English steamer is on an expedition 10
explore the country along the Niger; the
corvette Disc is now exploring the wholly I'm
known country thro which the Gaboon river
runs Swedish discoverer is travelling on
the west coast OF Africa south of Benguela,
in the direction of the Cunene river the
Governor of the Portuguese Forts on the
Zambeze is making preparations for new ex-
plorations in Central Africa; the French
missionary, Leo DIES Avanchers, is rrav cling
through the country which lies to the east
ward of the great sea described by Captain
Burton and Lieutenant Spoke last year. The
German traveller, Albert Roscher has gone
in the same direction, having left Zanzibar
with the hope Of penetrating far into the
interior. The above list, with the added
name of the renowned DIR. Livingstone, who
is now malIingan excursion into those CONN.,
tries he described on former jourey, shows
that the great magnetic centre TO which
most discovers instinctly turn, is still the in
terror of Africa. Those vast countries which
are represented in blank on our maps, have
been attacked from all sides.

Of the above school assembled on the morn

Quoted by Mr.. VIM. Riggs. They had ex-
pressed a desire to visit, perhaps for the
last time, scene so impressive and interest
ing to them. The procession, consisting of
the children and a large concourse Of eiti-
zens, of both sexes, from the neighboring
settlements, arrayed in their best, with hap
piness beaming on their countenances and
joy in their hearts, proceeded to the ground,
singing as they went.
As the procession entered the ground q
salute was fired by Mr.. John Kratz, who
manufactured the ordnance for the occasion
and attended IN ito eaiuns thrnnQhnnt the

day, Madison Kirkpatrick, was obeyed by
the crowd, and in deep silence and solem-
nifty the services of the day were opened by
Mr. VIM. Olmsted, in very appropriate
prayer The prayer concluded, the choir,
accompanied by the children, sang:

A New Yoak EccEsrnrc-A correspor

A New York EccENTRIc.-A correspon-
ent Of the Charleston Mercury regretting
the lack of eccentrics in New York, says ::
The only surviving eccentric worth men
tioning is DIR. B, who dresses i'm the
knee breeches, buckled shoes, shad-bellied
coat, huge lappetted vest, cooked hat, ruff
fies, and flowing wig of the last century,
II is a mere within of the NJ. D., who is n
very sensible person otherwise. When he
was boy, he had n strange laundering for
that costume and determined to indulge in
it when he was rich enough, for the suit is
about ten times as expensive as an ordinary
civilians. An increasing medical practice
enabled him to crafty his cherished wish
or 10 years ago aud since then he has played
the antique very creditably. He is about
35, and jOvial by nature but as he stalks
through Broadway, his cast-iron face never
revealed the slightest consciousness that he
is stared, pointed, and laughed, at by all the
passers-by. Unruiiled Except in his shirt
bosom and wristetS), he strides on with a
majesty worthy OF Gen. Washington

It's height some years ago, the Doctor hap
pened To DC crossing the Park, where an in
dignant meeting OF lrishmen was in full
blast. wag told the frantic Hibernians
that the strange looking parsonage was the
President of a know knothing lodge, who
had turned out in his official costume for the
express purpose of insulting the foreign por-
ulation. A host of ragged Pats straight
way rushed after the Doctor, who inglori-
onsly took to his legs and gained his office,
near Greenwich street, before his ferocious
pursuers could catch him. The rabble
amused themselves 10y smashing his Office
windows until they were dispersed by the
police.
