Thad. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, 10 a late
speech 10 the Northern H,uss OF Representa-
tvs, frankly admits that Maryland would ct
once 4. clare fer The Southern Confederacy II
the F .ds,al troops we're Withdrawn from her
territory. This stateusc! is no doubt true.
aDd vas so known to Lincoln when 10 asserted
In his message that the people Of Maryland
wsre loyal and true 10 biz government. But
deception ard misrt presentation are 30 much
lighter cHrnces than the heads Of tho Northern
government ere in the habit Of committing, that
We scarcely deem it necessary 10 notice them.

no Delay Blossoms.

Any treo may be made to bloom sufficient.
ly late in the season to prevent its fruit from
being injured by the frost, and consequently
present fine, healthy crop by the following
judicious treatment. f
In the middle Of winter, when the ground
is most completely frozen, put a. large pile
Of wheat straw or oak leaves around the
roots, letting it extend for some distince in
every direction, so as to cover the extended
roots that approach the surface of the earth.
Cover the pile with planksor boards, so that
no rain can fallupon the pile, Let this GOV
ering remain until all danger from frost is
past Then remove the cover and straw,
and look for splendid crop to follow them.
The rerson for this is, the frozen earth will
not thaw till late in the spring if the pile re-
main; and while the earth is frozen the trees
cannot bloom; but when the danger is past,
remove the Governing, and the trees will
bloom forth speedily. Try it farmer friends,

Setting Efence Posts.

Setting fence posts in an inverted position
has been frequently recommended. The
following is from the Genesee Farmer:
About thirty years ago, l, to test the
thing, split two bar posts side by side, out
of Chestnut log. They were eight feet
long, eight inches wide and three thick
One set butt down and the top down. AT
the end Of ten years the one set in butt
down was rotted off / reset it in the same
hole. AT the end Of six years il was rotted
off again, and put in Il new one. The
other lasted four years longer, when it got
split in two, and took it out and it was
about two-thirds rotted off Sixteen years
ago ] set six pair Of bar posts all split out
Of the butt cut Of the same white log. One
pair set butts down, another pair one but
down the other top down, and others tol
down. -Four years ago, those set butt
down were rotted off and had to be reese
by new ones. This summer had occasion
! to reset those that were set top down;
found them all sound enough to reset. Nj,
experiments have convinced me that tn,
best way is to set them top down.

SORGHUM Rrnons.

Mr.. NJ. Page, Of Morrow county, has sent
us sample Of the brooms turned out at
his manufactory, also few heads of the
corn from which they are manufactured.
The broom is very superior article, and
the corn something new in that line and
said TO be a decided improvement on the
article generally cultivated. They were ac-
companied by the following note:
81 send you specimen of my premium
parlor broom, manufactured from sorghum
broom corn This corn excels the common,
one hundred per cent. in yield of brush and
fifty per cent. in value in the Eastern mar
kets The fodder being of saccharine fla.
vor, il makes a nutritious and palatablc food
for all kinds of stock, especially milch cows.
Its growth in height is not more than one
half that of the common broom corn, and il
does not mpoyerish the land as much by
fifty per sent, and the brush can be har-
vested with one-balf the labor. All persons
engaged in the cultivation of broom corn
are invited to call and examine this new
variety. There is no patent on it, consequ-
emily there will be FREQ trade in the seed. y

nually IN the United States, for purposes
Which mhy be as well and more cheaply
secured by rock oils and that Europe offers
q ssiliwider market for them, quite as good
as our own. We shall see that there is little
prospect of the rock oils becoming wholly
vslucless, even if every well should continue
to oaow with its maximum yield, and their
nnu,ber should be greatly multiplied.
Whether each well will continue to yield q
constant quantity Of oil If steadily pumped
through o series of years, is more difficult
question than that Of the market or the ag-
,ersate supply. Its solution mustbe mat
ter Of experiment
The wells Of India, and'thc banks Of the
Caspian, have afforded avery large and con-
slant supply Of oil for several hundred years.
The petroleum springs of Hit, from which
the ancient Babylonians took the imperish-
able cement for their Cyclopean walls, still
continue to flow; and the same may be SAID
Of the oil springs of Zante, mentioned by
Herodotus They yield apparently as much
to-day as they did $500 years ago.
~ On the other hand, it may be said with
truth, that the petroleum springs Of Gabian
Ain and Auvefgne, in France, yield now q
much smaller quantity than they formerly
did, and that the wells of India, Syria,
Zante, &c. , have never suffered the exhaust
i've drain Of the steam pump.
One would scarcely expect that the sail
sparsely disseminated through saliferou'
sedimentary strata-the source from which
most of our salt works are supplied-woulC
be more permanent and reliable product o
the wells bored to obtain it, than is the oil
and yet while it is truethat salt wells have
failed, tits also true that such failures arr
the exception, and permanence the rule.
The steam pump may, and probably will
drain local reservoirs, and its powers Of snc
ton may exceed the generative capacity o
limited areas. We must expect that gon'
wells will fail, but the history of thost
largest and most successfully pumped in tn,
oil region 10 nearly constant in their yield
and affecting each other 80 little, gives salts
factory evidence that theirs is no ephenera
function, and has inspired confidence il
the pormanence Of oil wells which is to-da
stronger than ever before.

To have Excellent Hams.

Several times season we make family
visit with our friends Boston and lady, Just
out of the city, and on such occasions we are
rejoiccd with slice Of their excellent broiled
ham, which being such sayory dish, we
have asked and obtained the mystery Of its
curing. which Dir, Roston gives as follows
Put the hams down in dry salt, let them
remain so about four days, then put then,
in tight vessel and cover them with brine
strong enough to float an egg let them re-
main in the brine four weeks or longer, then
soak them in well water three hours, scrape
off whatever of sediment or impurity NAV
be on the surface, let the water drip off.
then rub with molasses and hang them up.
Let the surface dry before smoking, ther
smoke them about ten days. y Field Notes

Thc following extract from Florance Night


The following extract from Florance Night
ingale is well worth considering:
A few words upon bedsteads and bedding
and principally as regards patients who are
entirely, or almost entirely, confined to bed
Feverishness is generally supposed to be
u symtom of fever-in nine cases out of ten il
is symptom of bedding. The patient ha,
re-introduced into the body the emanation'
from himself which day after day and week
after week saturate his unaired bedding
How can it be otherwisep Look at the or.
dinary bed in which n patient lies.
IT were looking out for an example in
order to show what not to do, should take
the specimen of an ordinary bed in private
house: a wooden bedstead, two or even
three mattresses piled up to above the height
ofa table, valance attached to the frame
nothing but miracle could ever thorough
ly dry or air such bed and bedding. The
patient must inevitably alternate between
cold damp after his bed is made, and warn,
damp before, both saturated with organic
matter, and this from the time the mattress.
es are put under him till the time they are
picked to pieces, If this is ever done.
Now, when we add to this the idea of q
little room, six by five feet square, just large
enough to squeeze in bed, and not room
to open door fully, tucked away in some
corner of the house, one small window, with
three sets of shading, i. G., blinds without,
paper shades Of somber colors within, and q
white muslin or moire curtain over them,
thus excluding all cheerful light, ignoring
ventilation, and preserving the damps and
vapors as if life depended on them, the only
wonder is that anybody lives, not that some
do die. -
