DANGER OF THRILLING WITH A WIDOW

DANGER OF THRILLING WITH A WIDOW.
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer gives the following
incident:
Considerable excitement was caused
among the guests ip certain we'll known
hotel in this city few nights since, by
the entrance Of the sheriff, accompanied
by several officers, who proceeded to turn
the dodgers out of bed and to carry off the
furniture, leaving the boarders the choice
of seeking another hotel, or sleeping on
the bare floor. Many surmises were made
as to the reason for this strange conduct,
but it was not until several days after
that the facts leaked out. 1t appears
that the lessee of the hotel hired the fur
niture in question from a widow fair,
fat and forty-whom he promised to
marry but somehow or other he failed to
redeem his promise, and the widow out
of revenge resolved to deprive him of her
furniture, and accordingly caused it to be
removed. The case will, very probably,
come up in court, and we may expect some
rich developments. The affair creates no
little sensation, as the parties are we'll
known"

Rise and, Fall of Sap-Interesting Ex
pertinent.

The July Agricultural, last year, Vol. XVII.
psge 2I3 contained an article Oh tie ''rise aud
fall of sap" in which the opinion was-m aintained
that the cap passes up through the new wood to
the leaves, where 1t i. elaborated; and thatit af
forwards descends through the inner ark; depos
itng on its way, the materials for the formation
Of wood, bark, buds, etc. A subscriber, Dir. Chas.
5l. Keep became interested in the subject, and
tried the following experiment with q view of
testing the accuracy of the theory. During the
inoculating season, be took a bud from pear tree
AID with Il, the barS at.achcd an inch above and
ore fourth of an inch below. This was inserted
in the usual manner, except that ths horizontal
cut in the bark of the tree was made at the lower
end of the vertical incision to cut off any sap that
misht flow upwards to supply the bud. The ex:
pertinent was successful as far as the growth of
the bud was concerned. This, however, is not
conclusive to the course of the sap for, in tho
rsual method of budding, the effect of the hori-
zontal cut above the bud would as certainly pre-.
vent the downward aow Of sap TO heal the wound
and form union. 1t Is probable that In either
case enough of the fluid would find its way around
the sides of the cross cnt, through the bark, to
secure the growth of the bud, other crcumstan-
ces being favorable. II In number of trees, the
bark should be so cut away arouud the bud, that
cap could only reach II from above; and In an
equal number OF others the same process snould
be applied, so as to give supply of sap only from

Change Of Seed.

see the subject Of changing seea has been dis
cussed in the Farmers Clubs this winter, and it
Ia not my intention 10 say that ajudicious change
of seed is not sometimes necessary, but merely to
state q few facts in regard to my own experience.
I have cultivated the white Meshandc potato for
thirty four years on the same farth, without any
visible deterioration either in Quantity or quality
Our early patch in the garden has been raised On
the eame plot of ground without changing for
thirty years, aud never has failed to produce
good crop in all that time. The ground was rich
when commenced, and has been manured every
epring since with stable manure.
have one kind of corn chat we have raised for
thirty successive years, and | would not exchange
1t for any other corn that know of butt would
state that it requires the greatest care to prevent
corn from deteriorating. II must be planted
apart from other varieties and more than that
you must select your seed from corn that has been
raised on rich land, for it is just like cattle 1t
will degenerate If not well fed. We have not
confined ourselves to the one kind of potatoes and
corn. W have tried various kinds, but consider
it more trouble tbkn profit TO keep them distinct,
although we are not of that number that believe
that potatoes will bybridze by using the tubers
for seed still it is difficult TO keep a number oi
kinds apart, which always ought to be done.
have quite different experience to relate in
regard to our cultivation of wheat. l have had
to change aeed every few years. We have found
what we call the finer kinds of white .sheat, more
apt to degenerate. BY sowing three or four
years, it will scarcely pasb ks white. We have to
get new start from the North. / think we are
too far south to raise wheat to perfection-lati.

is famed for producing fine Crops of white wheat,
l think il must be owing to the soil more than the
climate, and shoald like to hetr from some of the

FROM BURNsIDE's ARMY
Surprise and Capture of Three Hundred Infantry
by the Confederates

Especial Dispatch to the Washington Chroniclel
FALMOUTH, Nov. 30.-On Friday night
force Of the Confederates crossed the Kappa
hammock at Big Ford, a short distance above
Falmouth, and made prisoners by surprise Of
picket detachment Of 800 infantry from the
Twelfth and Seventeenth New 7 ork regiments,
belonging to Colonel Stockton's brigade, Grife-
fin division, Butterfeld's army corps. Gen.
Hooker, who commands both that corps and
the army corps of Stoneman, was much incens
ed at the casualty, and is said to have broken
the sword Of Colonel Stockton and dismissed
him from the service.
COL Stockton was not in immediate COM
mand Of the detachment, but being toe superb
or officer of the brigade was considered respon-
sible for the neglect Of his subordinates and
the severity Of Gen. Hooke". if the case be
rightly stated. was intended as warning to
others against committing trusts to officers in
whom they have not perfect confidence.
The Confederates having on Friday night
erected breastworks upon their left mount
ed guns upon them, LOO men were detail
ed last night from the two army corps Of
Couch and Wilcox to erect corresponding
works, which they completed under cover
Of darkness. and though exposed to the enc
my s fire; were not attacked. The Confede-
rates have mounted upon one of their bate
ries large l0O-pounder seige gun lately re-
ceived from Richmond.
