THE BEST CHERRIES.

Fall is perhaps the best time to set out
young cherry trees. 1t is not necessary
that the soil should be very fertile, and it
should not be enriched by strong manures
A rather low, moist soil, we think is to be
preferred the trees after planting, should
be well stalled, and the stakes should re-
main for at least three years. No tree re-
quires support so much as the cherry, as it
is liable to swag much by the wind, and
become bruised, torn and weakened at the
surface Of the ground.
Few people care for more than half a
dozen varieties of cherries, and that is
enough when the right sorts are selected.
There is in this, as in all other fruit,
considerable ccntrariety of opinion as to
which are the best. And this can be no
cause of surprise, as the locality and soil
have much to do in raising the cherry to
perfection and Perhaps for the
greater portion of Pennsylvania. New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Maryland, &C., the follow.
varieties, which we regard as among the
very best, are well adapted, viz :--Early
Purple Quigne, Mayduke, Early Rich
mono, j for baking preserving aud 'bounce;)
Black Tartarian, Black Eagle, Elton,
Downton, and Goes Transparent. Here
are eight kinds, and if We were to drop
any it would be the two last. The Yellow
Spanish, the Governor Wood, Osccola
&C., are not generally adapted to our i'm
mediate region. There are many other
varieties that are valuable and thought
highly of by some, and may do well here,
which it is not necessary to enumerate, as
the foregoing are quito sufficient to meet
the wishes or needs ofany moderate person
whether for private use or market.-Ger.

Use TIE tanning MILL Thoroughly.
1t viii pay to clean grain thoroughly
before Offering it for sale, a careless or
dishonest man has little reason to con.
gratulate himself upon having sold guam
tity of chaf, cookie seed, and other foul
stuff, for the price Of wheat. Dealers in
grain have sharp eyes for anything that
affects the market price, and they readily
detect willful or careless neglect to proper
ly clean the crop, and reduction of from
two to four or more cents per bushel is
the consequence, 1t requires but few
pounds weight Of refuse among grain to
greatly damage its appearance. An amo
which would bring fifty cents if sold at the
price If wheat, will reduce the market
value of twenty-five bushels from four to
Eve cents per busheI, thus entailing actual
loss, instead of gain, as some by their
practice seem to suppose. Grain mer-
chants sometimes take advantage Of the
fact, that foreign matter in grain deter
iorates the market value below the actual
damage caused by its presence. They put
large quantities of poorly cleaned grain
through the tanning MILL take out one or
two cents per bushel in the weight of foul
seeds, etc, and are able to sell the i'm
proved grain at four or five cents advance
per bushel, all of which might have been
realized by the producer, in return for a
few honrs extra lsbor.-An8eyieaa Agrs-

that great and good man " was careful of small
things" bcstowing attention on the minutest
affairs of his household as closely as upon the
most important concerns of the Republic
The editor of the Merchants Magazine, in
speaking of the fact. says: :" No man ever
made a fortune, or rose to greatness in any de
i,artment. without being careful of small
things As the beach is composed Of grains

The Life and Death of a Miser.

Mitchacl Baird tor Bear as he is sometimes
ca,led) who recently died near York, Pennsyl-
vania, was miserable miser. His father left
a valuable farm of five hundred acres in the
vicinity of York, with some farming and
household articles. He kept tavern for a
number of years-married, and raised four
children. He accumulated an immense estate,
which he reserved so tenaciousy that he never
afforded dollar for the education of his chill
drpn. lie never was known to lay out one
dollar in cash for any article he might be in
need of; he would either do without it, or
find some person who would barter with him
for something he could not conveniently sell
for money. He farmed largely and kept n
large distillery, which he supplied entirely with
his own grain. He kept a team for convey
ance of his whisky to Baltimore, where, when
he could not sell for money at aprice tosuit him
he barteIed for necessaries for his family and
taver.. In this way he amassed an estate
worth four hundred thousand dollars.
! Such was his attachment to money that he
was never known to credit single dollar to
any man. Upon the best mortgage or securl-
tv that could be given he would not lend II
cent. He never vested one dollar to public

bank longer than he could get them changed.
He deposited his specie in large iron chest,
until it would hold 10 more. He then provided
strong iron-hooped barrels, which he also filled
After his death his strong boxes yielded two
hundred and thirty thousand dollars in gold
and silver.
The cause of his death was as remarkable
rs the course CT his life. A gentleman from
: Virginia offered him twelve dollars busheI
for one hundred and ten bushels of cloverseed
but he would not sell it for less than thirteer
dollars, and they did not agree. The seed wa
t afterwards sent to Philapelphia, where it WA
sod for seven dollars per bushel, and brough
, in the whole five hundred and fifty dollars les
Z than the Virginian had offered for it. On re
