The First Printed Book.

/ 1t is remarkable and most interesting
fact, says a secular paper, that the very
/ first use to which the discovery of print
ing was applied, was the production OF
the Bible This was accomplished at
Mcntz, between the years 1850 Hoo
Guttenburg was the inventor of the art,
and Faust, goldsmith, furnished the
necessary funds. Had it been a single
page or even an entire sheet, which was
then produced, there might have been
less occasion to have noticed it; but there
was something in the whole character. ol
the affair which, if not unprecedented,
rendered it singular in the usual current
Of human events. This Bible was in two
folio volumes which have been Justly
praised for the strength and beauty Of
the paper, the cxac,ncss of the register,
and the lustre Of the ink The work con-
tanned twelve hundred and cighty-two
pages, and being the first ever printed, of
course involved long period of time,
and an immense amount of mental, man
ual and mechanical labor and yet, for
long time after it had been finished and
offered for sale, not a single human being
save the artist themselves, knew how it
had been accomplished.
Of the first printed bible eighteen cop
les arc now known to bein existence; four
Of which are printed on vollum. Two Of
these are in England one being in the
GrenyIle collection. One is in the Roy
al Library at Berlin, and one in the Roy
al Library of Paris. OF the remaining
fourteen copies, ten are in England
there being a copy i'll Oxford, Edinburg
and london, and seven in the collection
of different noblcmcn. The velIam copy

Prepare now for Spring
Gardening.

Spring work in the garden is by most
farmers left to be done at leisure intervals
between the more extensive operations of
putting in the field crops. 1t often oc.
ours that, from press of business, much
that should De done in this important de-
partment is neglected or slightod, because
the leisure is rot found, and as a consc-
quence there is but poor show of vegeta-
bes throughout the season, and these al
ways late. Something may be done dur.
ing this month of November toward early
gardening in Spring.
At this time most of the vegetable
crops have been secured, and there is
some time to work in the soil. If it be
wet, draining now will prepare it for
plowing next year before the fields are
ready to be worked. If draining be i'm
practicable, plowing and subsoilihg will
greatly improve it. Trcnching, especially
on heavy soils and working in plenty Of
coarse manure or muck, will greatly amc-
lioratc heavy soils. A good coat of ma
uurc plowcd in now, ready to be lightly
cross-p s-plowcd and thus thoroughly mixed
with the soil in Spring, will give good
rich tilth.
Now is the best time to set asparagus
and rhubarb roots, two indispcnsables in
every family garden. If old roots are
procured, they will yield at least par
tial supply for the table next Spring. and
much time will be gained in their growth.
Though late, strawberries will live and
thrive if transpanted with care immedi-
atcly. They may yield but little next
season, but the work will be done, and
when the fruit does come, you will leel a.
bundantly repaid for the labor. Black
berries, raspbcrrics, currants, etc., may
all be put in place, also few dwarf pear
trees. if there be space. These trees re-
qurc much care to produce well, but
every cultivator will soon find them his
special pets in the garden.
And the grape vines. Have you full
supply? Do not let the Fall pass with
ont securing enough for plentiful family
use. These and the currants, gooaebcrries
and dwarf pears, will be benefited by
spreading coarse manure about them az
far as the roots extend. The winter rains
will carry much Of it into the soil where
it will be ready for use by the roots in
Spring.
Finally, now is the time to build or re-
pair the fences, gates, trelises, etc. A
coat Of paint, or even whitewash, would
add fifty per cent in appearance TO many
a garden enclosure, in addition to its yal-
uc in preserving the fence.

1t is stated that the Will of Gen. Washington,
instead of being purloined by Union soldier
and sold to the British Museum, as recently
stated by tho Librarian of the New York Ills

stracted from the records of the Fairfax County
Court by Alfred Moss, late seeding Clerk of the
said Court, who removed all the most important
records and papers, public documents, county
seal, &c. to Warrenton, the county seat of Fau-
9nier county, Va. The original viii Of George

either previous to or at the same time. What
disposition has been subsequently made of it ap-
