PLEASANT TO TOBACCO cHKwRRs.

A letter from Petersburg, Va, 10 the Scbenect-
ady Star, gives the following description Of the
manner Of preparing chewing tobacco in that re-
eion: Commence on the upper floor, which is as
dirty as q COW stable. In the corner are large
heaps Of tobacco. At one end is a large oauldron
into which is put iquorice, rum, and TONGA bean.
On one side Of the room, is q large frame, like q
mortar bed, into which 10 put the weed, to be
sprinkled with the above decoction. Two or
three darkies are stirring the tobacco up with
their feet, 60 that all portions may become equally
saturated. After this operation 1t is dried upon
plates overhead, until il is fit for working in the
room below. On the second story, the leaf is di
vested of its stem by numerous black women and
children. 1t is then, In q supple state, made into
rolls an inch or two inches in diameter, and Of any
required lengths. On the ground floor, the roll
are squeeEed into plugs, and carefully packed fo'
transportation to the tobacco loving people Of tn
North. Some may think part Of this description
highly colored, but it is literally q true account o
what / saw, moro than Onse. 1t might be suppos
cd that people here do not chew, but this is NOS sc
almost everybody does-but then they chew tn
natural leaf.

GOING TO BED.

A PHILosoPHIc VIEw.-The following is frow
the Chicago Journal:
Some fling off their garments as if they wore the
shirt of Nessus-wasn't that his namei-and were
particularly anxious to get at il. Here goes a yes,
in one corner--its contents jiDgling to the floor as
is lies. There goes a boot rieochet. The stockings
are turned inside out the bapless coat hangs by
its skirt to q nail, and the bed is attained with q
bound. Pillows tumbled this way and that the
feet are inserted between the sheets, and, like a
shuttle through q loom. down goes the body +; one
arm is flung under the head lower jaw and eye.
lids droop together, and the man Is asleep-asleep
all oyer-asleep for all night.
Another goes lettering about on his toes. He
puts his watch here. his coat there, aud his vesi
there. His boots stand side by side, like a brace
Of grsnadiers; tips'of bis stockings peep out sys.
tsmatically to the top; and il II be winter, he lin.
gers upon the beds edge like one about to take O
bath-drsAding, yet desiring, and finally steals
into bed by degrees, draws The quilt and the coun-
terpane over his head and is motionless-is gone
arrives in the land of Nod.
II one only thinks Of it, sleep, in q great city,
is q queer thing. Think Of fifty thousand in this
city as sleeping at once. Fifty thousand, in tiers
Of one, two, three, four, and five, from cellar to
garres. Fifty thousand in rows a mile long. Ten
thousand in red nighicaps, tasseled and untass.
eled. Ten thousand in dingy ones that were white
Mondays AMI Mondays ago. Five thousand in
silken ones. SOM edged beautifully, some hem.
med with a sail needle, and some uncapped al
together, with locks disheveled and ruffed like
''quills upon the fretful porcupine."
Five thousand snoring alto-fye thousand snor-
ing bass. Twenty thousand under calico. A hun
dred or so beneath elk. lone w~eeping-some
in their dreams-othsrs dreamless as the
Ringlets twisted up in cigar-lightsrs-
tressss streaming over the pillOW-no tresses at all.
Even asleep. humanity preserves its pecuIiari-
ties. Even in dreams men are distinctive still.

VALUABLE FARM
AT PRIVATE SiLEi


Will be held at private sale, that desirable pro-
perty situated in Knox Township, Columbiana co.,
Ohio; four and half miles southeast Of Alliance,
and one-fourth mile South of the Salem and Nj.
Union road; formerly the property Of Henry Coop

contains 100 acres, 100 of which is cleared and
in a high state Of cultivation, the remaining 20
acres being covered with timber. The improve
ments consist Of a large substantial brick house
two and a half stories high, with four rooms on q
floor with q large hall both up stairs and down.
A large nearly new double decked barn with every
thing about it in perfect order, wagon house with
loft above and corn crib attached. Sheep house,
hog house, wood house, spring house, drying
house, blacksmith shop and a tenant house eEd
barn. These buildings are all in fine condition,
the most of them being nearly new, and for neat
ness and durability cannot BE surpassed by any
in the neighborbood. There is also upon The
property an apple orchard of 100 trees bearing
fruit Of o superior quality. Also a peach orchard
of 800 trees just in bearing order, a good stone
and coal quarry, a never failing stream OF water
Sufficient water for the stock. Besides this run
ming stream, there is two never failing wells at
the barn and two at the house, one of which con
tains soft end the other hard water; the different
enclosures are so arranged that stock can obtain

and worthy Of the attention Of any one desircus
of purchasing; the land being Of extra quality and
considerably elevated, the buildings occupy o fine
position and are a short distance from The public

farming or grazing purposes, and would make O
splendid country residence. 1t is contiguous to

A SUPERNATURAL PREMoNITIoN-sToRY
OF A RAILROAD ENGINEER.

OF A RAILROAD ENGINEER.
/ was running a night express train. and had q
train Of ten cars-eight passenger and two bag
gage csrs-and all were well loaded. I was be-
hind time, and was very ANTIQUE to make n certain
point; thus l was using every e~xertion, and putting
the engine to the utmost speed to which she was
capable. Twas on a section Of the road usually
considered the best running ground on the line,
aud ! was endeavoring to make the most Of il,
when a conviction struck me that ! muk stop.
A something seemed to tell me that to 20 ahead
was dangerous, and that must stop il would save
life. l looked back at my train. and it was oil right.
l strained my eyes and peered into the darkness,
and could see no signal Of danger, nor anything
betokening danger. and there ! could see Eve miles
in the day time. l listened to the working Of my
engine, / tried the water, looked at the guage, and
all was right. l tried to laugh myself cut of what
! then considered a childish fear, but, like Ban
quo's ghost, it would not 60 down at my bidding,
Blu. grew stronger in it's hold upon me.
l thought of the ridicule l would have heaped
upon me if ! did stop; but it was of no avail
The conviction for by this time i, had ripened
into a eonViction-that l must stop grew still
stronger, and ! shut off and blew the whistle for
breakers according. / came to q dead halt, got
of, and went ahead a little way, without saying
anything to anybody what the matter was. l had
a lamp in my hand, and had gone about sixty feet.
when | saw what convinced me that premonitions
are possible. l dropped my lantern from my nerve

BILE to stand for there was o switch, the thought
Of which had never entered my mind, as ii had
never been used since ! had been on the road, and
was known to be spiked, but was open to lead me
off the track. The switch led into a stone quarry
whence stone for bridge purposes had been suaried,
and the switch left there in case stone should be
needed at any time, bu! was always locked. and
the switch rail spiked. Yet here it was quite omen.
and had l not obeyed my observation-disclosures

and, at the end Of the track, only about ten rods
long, my heavy engine and train, moving at the
rate Of thirty miles an hour, would have come In

Their be imagined nor described; but they could. by
no possibility, have been otherwise than fatally

dents we'll managed. The book comes in good
time, and will doubtless soon be found on every
