UPLAND CRANBERRIEs.-Inan article upon
the culture of cranberries upon upland, the
Name Farmer says:
There is, however, variety of noun
tain berry, belonging to the cranberry ge-
nus, which we think might be cultivated
more successfully than the lowland kind
We last fall received jar of this last
kind from Rev. Mr.. Pierce, of East Win
throp, who obtained them from Washington
county, where they grow on the waste lands
and highlands in the Quoddy region. He
also sent us a specimen of the vine which
produces them. 1t proved to be what bot
anists have named Vdccinium Viis Idea,
and commonly called "mountain cram
berry," crock cranberry" and "cowber-
ry.' We have seen it growing on the sum-
mits of the White Hills, and sides and peaks
of other of our mountains. In the eastern
section of Maine it seems that they are quite
abundant, and are gathered in large guam
titles by the Quoddy Indians and others and
brought into the market. They are
smaller berry than the lowland cranberry,
but of pleasant acid flavor, and by some
preferred to the others. We think this va
riety deserving some trials of culture as we'll
as the other, and wealso think success would
follow the trial.

THE WAsHoE MINES A Nearly
all that has been published concerning the
WashOe silver mines has been ola character
to lead to the belief that the Washoe Valley
was rich in mineral productions almost be-
yond belief The same stories of sudden
fortunes and immense " nuggets having
been found in this region are told now as
they were in the Atlantic States in 1849
concerning California, and in 1857 and So
about Fraser River. The picture, however,
according to the following from the New
York Express, has been greatly overdrawn ::
{" We have conversed with a number OF
miners, who returned in the steamer Satur-
day night, and all concur in saying that the
richness of the Washoe Valley, and other
localities in Utah, has been vastly overrat-
ed One gentleman told us that he had in
spected carefully the whole locality, and
that he did not believe there was n single
claim that would pay for the working, with
the exception of the Virginia silver mine.
Many Of the claims in this region, which
have been sold in California the last winter
at such enormous prices, were, at the goth
of April, full eight feet under the snow, and
not one out of twenty were prospective -

MIR. LincOln's AnII-SIaVery Opinions
Twenty Years Ago.

The Springfield (Ill.) State Journal says:
In 1861 Mr.. Lincoln was one of the
Representatives in the Legislature from
Sangamon county, and during the session,
as usual, resolutions taking an extreme
Southern view on the subject of Slavery
were brought forward, discussed, and final
ly adopted. Mr.. Lincoln refused to vote for
them, but took advantage of the constitu-
tional privilege allowing any two members
to enter their protest upon the journals of
the House, to give his views on the subject
in the form of q protest. The paper is
worthy of being produced at the present
time, and we give it as follows:
March 3, 1887.
The following protest was presented to
the House, which was read aud ordered to
be spread on the journals, to wit
Resolutions upon the subject of domestic
Slavery having passed both branches of the
General Assembly at its present session, the
undersigned do hereby protest against the
passage of the same.
They believe that the institution of Slave
~ is founded on both injustice and bad poll
cy but that the PRONUNCIATION of Abolition
doctrines tends rather to increase than
Rbate its evils.
They believe that the Congress of the u
=. mas no power unuer the COnSLlIuJlonJ 10
Interfere with the institution of Slavery in
the different States.
They believe that the Congress of the
United States has the power, under the
Constitution, to abolish Slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia; but that the power
ought not to be exercised unless at the re-
quest of the people of said District.
The difference between these opinions and
those contained in the said resolutions is
their reason for entering this protest.

From the Cincinnati Price CHrrent, June It'll.
Business Summary of the Week.

VI tAC ~ <CEAs
Towards the close of the past week there
was an increased demand for money, and on
Monday the demand was rather pressing,
producing some complaint, but this increas-
ed demand is regarded temporary, and is
attributed to the payments usual about the
lst of the mouth. There has been some
offerings of good paper, outside, but the reg
ular discount houses took the acceptable
paper offered by their customers, with but
little exception, at their usual rates. lO(6l2
per cent.
The demand for exchange on the East has
been fully up to the supply, and the market
has been rather close during the week, and
4O@45 per hundred was paid for sight
drafts on New York by bankers. New Or
leans remains dull and unchanged. Time
bills on the East are taken at 6GG9 per cent.
per annum, and on New Orleans at lO012.
In this, and indeed all the Western States,
the weather is favorable for vegetation, as
rain has fallen pretty generally in those
States west of the Mississippi which have
suffered by the drought.
In our issue of the 18th of last month
we stated upon the authority of our cor
respondents that the wheat crop would
prove a bad failure in Tennessee and Geor-
gia, and a partial one in Kentucky, Mis-
souri, and as regarded the fall-sown in Hi
nois and Iowa, owing to the winter killing
and the spring drought. Since then the fly
has proved very destructive in Kentucky,
and we have rumors of serious damage be-
ing done to the crop in Indiana, by the
same enemy.
This is discouraging to all classes, and is
most important to the banker and the mer
chant. We also hear complaints regarding
the corn crop, but nothing serious. The in
dications are in favor of large crop of corn,
as we have before stated, in previous issues
Flour has been excessively dull all the
week, and prices quite irregular. 1t has
been next to impossible to force sales with
ont making large concessions, and it is
doubtful that S. could be obtained for
round lots superfne. Holders have not
been offering to sell below So %. Good
extra sold yesterday, we understood, at
50 30.
Wheat, which was in good demand in
the fore part of IT, week, was dull and pri-
ces nominal at the close.
Corn, Rye or Barley did not change in
value or demand during the week, but Oats
declined largely, and closed unsettled and
nominal at SIC.
There has been large business done in
Bacon, chiefly sides, at l0c, and r. fair bust
ness in bulk meats. Mess Pork advanced
to Sl8, but at the close the market was
quiet. though as regards holders, very firm
whose hopes with reference to the future
are very bright and buoyant. There are
three houses curing in ice, and doing quite
a large business, as the supply Of ice is
abundant, and so is that of hogs.

have for these reasons concluded to insert adj
