A well.to-do citizen Of the county Of Hunt

nesce, whom we shall call Squire x was
recently tried in the Quarter Sessions Of
that county upon the novel charge of steal
ing bee tree. 1t appears that in company
with neighbor lie was passing through a
piece of woods belonging to the latter, when
his friend called his attention TO fine bee
tree, which he had discovered, and which
he intended TO cut down in the course of q
few nights. for the sake of the honey. The
tree " as a tall one, and near to the very top
couId be seen swarms of the busy insects
coming and going through the summer air.
That very night the bee tree disappeared
The disappointed owner at once had his sus-
picions aroused, and upon making inquiries,
found out to his satisfaction that Squire x /,
al sisted by two men whom he had employed,
had cut the tree down and hauled it home.
So he bad the Squire arrested and bound
over. When the Quarter Sessions came on,
Squire X. secured the service Of Mr.. s., 8
weil.known attorney.
His confederates had been subpnnaed to
attend as witnesses, and matters looked bad
enough for him, until the case came to trial
when, through the advice Of his ingenious
counsel, the witnesses refused to testify, on
the ground that they would criminate them
selves; and so Squire x. was acquitted
When he went to pay his attorney fee, after
the trial, he remarked TO Mr.. s.. "Well,

RAISING PoTAToBs FOR CUTTINGS The
Chicago (Ill.) Farmers AdUocate observes:
Friend Osborne is an experienced as well
as an experimental gardener, and among his
experiments the last season was the setting
out of single cutting of the potato. plant,
cut off from the top of the plant, leaving
two or three of the eyes or places where the
leaves were pulled off from the cutting on it,
the cutting being about four inches in length.
He put it in the ground precisely as cabbage
or other plants are set out, leaving the top
just sticking out of the ground. 1t grew
rapidly, and at the time of digging he was
surprised to find as the product of the cut
ting sixteen well-forned potatoes fit for table
use, and ten others that were 'small pota-
toes" indeed, the whole weighing when dug
over five pounds.
When we saw them they had shrunk some
what, but we weighed them in grocer's 8
scales, and they still weighed four and three
quarter pounds. The plant or potato .vine
the product of the cutting, measured FIVE
feet in length from root to tip end, and had
as many as ten or more limbs branching off
within six or eight inches of the ground, and
these sgain had their smaller branches, SO
that it covered more space thUn any vine we
ever saw from the most thrifty potato hill.
If potatoes such rs these can be produced
from cuttings, all we have to do hereafter is
to plant over sufficient ground to produce
cuttings to set out over the ground that is
wished to be cultivated in potatoes, and
transplant them as we do cabbage, beets, &c.
Who will experiment on this another season
to test it farther.
Friend Osborne also has good three-year
hedge around his garden, that is a sufficient
protection against stock Of all kinds,
showing that with thorough good care
good hedge can be raised in three or four
Nears. IL

THIRST MORE SEVERE THAN HUNGER.-The
disturbance to the general system which is
known by the name of raging thirst is far
more terrible than that of starvation, andfor
this reason: During the abstinence from
food the organism can still live upon its own
substance; but during abstinence from liquid
the organism has no such source of sup
ply within itself. Men have been known to
endure absolute privation of food for some
weeks, but three days of absolute privatioR
of drink (unless in moist atmosphere) is,
perhaps, the limit of endurance.
This is the most atrocious torture ever in
vented by Oriental tyrants. 1t is that which
most efiectually tames animals. Mr.. Ashley,
when he had refractory horse, always used
thirst as the most effective power of coercion,
giving little water as the reward for every
act of obedience. The historians of ship
wrecks paint fearful pictures of the suffering
from thirst, and one of the most appalling
cases known is the celebrated Imprisonment
of lac men in the Black Hole of Calcutta.
