A correspondent of the London Times gives
The following description of the city Of Jeddo
" Jeddo, without exception, Is one of tho
finest cities in the world streets broad and

The Moose.

Rev. R. M. Keep writes upon the subject of
the Moose, in the Aroostook Pioneer, from
which we learn some interesting facts. He
says
When Madawaska settlement on the St John
river was first made by the French, eighty years
ago, they seemed to be countless, so that the
inhabitants need never want for meat summer
or winter. A tradition says that the Indians
were dispfeased with the practice of French
hunters killing them for their hides only, and
in revenge killed hundreds for less than their
perhaps sixty years ago, not moose track was
to DO found in all the forests within one hundred
miles or more. What became of them has
never been certainly known. Ifa general dis
temper had swept them of, their carcases would
have been found, but they were not. The
wilderness through which they had so lately
abounded extended from the northern settle
ments Of Maine and New Brunswick to Canada,
New Hampshire and Vermont wilderness
about two hundred miles in diameter, but SO
surrounded with settled countries that their
exit could not have been made without being
known, unless, as some have argued, and some
Indefinite traditions have reported, they swan
the Gulf of st. Lawrence, below Quebec, where
it is thirty miles wide, and made their escape
to the Rocky Mountains, and in this case the
hunters Of the Northwest company must
have known it, and whether they did or not we
are not informed.
For twenty years or more not moose was
seen OF heard from in all Northern Maine, or
the adjoining borders OF New Brunswick,
though some were found on the Penobscot and
Kenebec in Southern Maine, and in their al.
scenco many a hungry family in Madawaska
listened to the story Of the father telling of bet
ter days. About forty years ago, the first re-
appearance of moose was announced in tho fact
OF tracks being seen to cross the winter road
near Grand Falls, and the announcement seemed
to 60 through the settlement like royal proc
lamaton OF plenty to the hungry people, and
from that time to this, in spite of the most de-
struetive slaughter they have continued to in
crease. From the best reports we can get, there
are at least one thousand year are killed with

In some instances the large streams are literally
damned up with floating carcases Some are
looking every year for their exit again, but

smooth gravelly bed beneath scarce ripping
the surface above. Above, as far as the eye
could reach, it came foaming down u gradual
descent, broken into white sheets, made whittier
by the contrast Of twilight, by the black rocks
that everywhere were seen raising their black
heads through the waters. Below, for a space
was the same gradual rocky descent, and still
farther down, great perpendicular fall Of fifty
feet, broken two or three times in the distance
by shelves Of lodges of rocks.
A small light skif was drawn up the bank
in which were neither paddles, oars or seats,
and which appeared to be newly and roughly
made.
Here we cross, said the stranger, betray-
ms the least trihe of excitement and showing
the boat into the water.
"Why?" asked Leon, trembling in spite of
himself
" It's nearer. Besides, we can't go up this
side on account of a large quag pond half
mile up. Quick get in; it's getting late,
and we must hurry"
But where are the oars?" asked Leon
il" You certainly do not expect to cross without
oars
Here" The stranger placed his hands
upon something, that looked as though they
might be oar handles but which were in reality
peeled hemlock limbs, left there for the purpose
with one end concealed. "Quick we have
no time to lose, -
Leon thought moment. 'Pshaw, only
imagination" he SAID to himself, and jumped
into the skif, which the stranger Immediately
sent gliding into the current of the stream, and
FASTENED up the bank and disappeared in the
thicket. The boat was showed with such force,
that it reached the middle of the river, where it
stopped for IA moment, ere it commenced its rap
id descent
The whole occurrence had occupied but II
momeut, and Leon was at first completely be-
wildcred but as the boat slid over the little
dam, made by the embankment of sand and
gravel, and began to descend the rapids towards
the great gulf ahead, he realized all the horrors
of his situation. He tried 10 fasten his hands
hold Of some of the sharp pointed rocks which
everywhere stood up out of the water, but
without avail and almost before he was aware
of the fact, he had wholly passed them, and was
drifting rapidly down the smooth current, which
here stretched for quarter of a mile above the
great leap He had driited nearer the western
Shore to which the current tended, and Was
rushing on with frightful speed.
lie saw the hopelessness Of his situation, but
instead Of giving way to despair, it nerved hin
to greater effort. One chance yet remained.
few rods below him spruce treetop had lodget
against rock, and now stood out Of the water
thick with limbs, and, to Leon, big with hope
With the giant energies which his condition in
spired, he commenced padding with both hands
for the friendly haven.
On the current swept him, and by almost su.
perhuman exertions he kept the boat in range
Nearer-nearer-s scarcely SIX feet distant, anc
his heart beat high with hope-when, in thu
very moment of safety, the skif was whirlec

Turning Under Grass.

The Yankee farmers are great people, in their
way great in making experiments upon their farms
and great in writing accounts of them for their Agr
cultural papers Here is illustration of the cor
rectness of this remark the republication Of which
may prevent some Tennessee farmer from becoming
perplexed IN like manner as his New England cousin
was, or help him out of pe-plexity into which he
has already fallen:
Mr. EDIToR: noticed in the Eelo England Farmer,
Of February llth an article on improving the soil
by blowing IN crop of clover. As that does not
agree with my experience. l will give another view
Of green crops for manure:
Several years ago, having piece of ground that
was worn down, wanting to improve it, and being
short of manure the last of June, the whole crop
Of grass plOwed in we'll at about one ton per
acre; during the season, the weeds up, they
were plowed in; this was done three times.
The next spring it was spread with coat of barn
cellar manure and planted with corn, hoed three
times and poorer crop of corn l never raised !!
while on piece adjoining, equal in every respect.
that had no grass plowed in, was a good crop of
corn.
In June, 1858, wanting to sow a little more fod-
der corn, l broke up a piece that was taken of
from an old pasture adjoining piece of moving
that bore heavy grass the old fence being moved
left bog running anglewise the piece; to make it
square l plOwed about one half of EACH moving
the pasture; the grass on the moving when pOwed
was knee high which was all turned in and the
whole was spread with manure and the corn sowed
in drills ran the cultivator between the rows but
did not hoe it; the corn on the pasture land grew
eight feet high and over, while the corn on the
moving land never grew more than two feet and
was yellow and sickly all the season. Last year
sowed the same with corn with the same result.
Such is my experience in blowing in grass for
fertilizer

bold adoption of the ranSest Abolition sentiments,

More trees are destroyed yearly than saved by
injudiciouC watering. Many persons pour pailful
after paful Of cold water around the roots of new
ly planted trees during the early part the season.
their object being to assist the tree by supplying
the moisture to force out its buds and leaves to Wig
orous growth. The result is, more often, to create
disease and rapid decay in the roots, to drown the
young fbres, and, by keeping the ground wet and
cold, produce death. Better hoe around the tree
