A FATHER REsCUEs HIS DAUGHTER
FROM THE CLUTCHES OF A REBEL EMILE
EXCITING CHASE.-An exciting scene was
witnessed on Cherry street, at the resi-
dence of DR.. Buchanan, yesterday, few
doors below the Post Office, which deserves
to be recorded. DR.. Buchanan, most ma
lignant traitor, received his walking pa
pers from the military authorities recently,
and was preparing to go South yesterday,
at the time of the ''scene'' above referred
to. The last of the Fanatics mad been safe
ly slowed away in the vehicle, ana among
other chattels of the rebellious ''PanglOss"
was a very likely young woman, about 16
wears of age, whose complexion, like that
| of one of Portals suitors, was ''the shad-
! owv livery of the FURNISHED SUM-" The girl
was sadly preparing to leave with her
owner.
| No friend was near, to rescue her from
! the clutches of one who had been deemed
| so faithless to his country that he was to be
expelled from the society of the loyal
Who could tell what horrible fate awaited
her in the slave-pen-in the rice swamps-
| in the cotton-field, under the merciless lash
of brutal overseer? Just as the wagon
was about to start, an old African, her ia
Their, approached with heart as sad, no
doubt, as Virginius, when he approached
the tribunal of Appius Claudius, to take an
eternal farewell Of his daughter Virginia.
Trembling with emotion, ne begged per-
mission to kiss his only child, and give her
| one fond and final embrace. His request
was granted, when he clasped her to his
arms, and quick as thought with limbs az
fleet as those of q mountain deer, he darted
with his precious prize into an alley
through back yard-into door-and van
ished! Pursuit was made by the enraged
master, but in vain. The father had exc
cuted the Emancipation Proclamation, and
cursed be he who shall say that his daugh-
| ter shall ever fall into the hands of her re-

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS. - Artificial flower
making is by no means an Insignificant trade.
The industrial statistics OF Paris show that
the total manuia iacture of these flowers amounts
TO more than 50 ,O00.00 in one year. OF
this enormous quantity England takes to the
extent Of Gl2, 1000 worth per annum, which

prepared expressly Tor the purpose by manu-
acturing chemists. The buds, leaves, petals
and other component parts, are made In
small wood shops, by persons who cach NJ

Coop TILtAGE Is MANuRK.-Farmers do not
generally realize the tact that good, clean
tillage is about equal to an application Of
manure to lands clOvenly cultivated. We
all know how much larger crops we realize
in the garden than upon the farm. just from
the superior attention paid to 1t IN cleansing
the ground of all noxious vegetation and fro
quently hoeing and otherwise stirring the
soil. The Genesee Farmer makes some use
ful remarks on this subject as follows:
1--WE must, more than ever before, realize
the fact that tillage is manure-that the lit
eral meaning Of the word manure" (man-
us, hand, and ouvrer, to work) Is hand la
bor. To manure the land is to hoe, to dig,
to stir the soil, to expose it to the atmos.
phere, to plOw, to harrow and to cultivate.
The ancient Romans made Stercutius god
because he discovered that the droppings Of
animals had the same effect in enriching the
soil as to hoe it. We can leave the modern
method Of manuring land to our western
farmers, while we 60 baek to the original
method OF stirring the soil. Mr.. Lawes has
raised good crop OF wheat every season Tor
over twenty years. on the same land, by
simply keeping II thoroughly clean BY two
plowings in the fall and BY hoeing the wheat
In spring by hand. The Rev. s. Smith, OF
Lois Weedon. has for years raised successive
crops Of wheat by process Of trenching the
land with fork and by hand hoeing. We
do not advocate this system. but the princi.
pie is applicable to our case. We can ma.
nurc our land by better tillage.'

Why Hoes EAT ASHES Pigs when shut
up to a,ten, are very fond oi cinders, and
improve in condition by eating q certain
portion Of them every day. Some persous
are unable to account for this singular pro.
pensity in swine. Poultry are very fond Of
egg shell, lime. sand, &C., and II 10 well
known these substances are necessary In or
der to form the shells OF eggs, and to furnish
material for the homes Of fowls.
Now, il is reasonable to suppose that
swine eat ashes and cinders for the purpose
Of supplying the material for their bones,
and this singular instinct in animals so low
in scale Of intelligence, is truly wonderful,
Tor ashes contain the ingredients which are
necessary to form bones, viz: carbonate and
sulphate of lime and magnesia, clay, silicia
gelatinized aud made soluble by the Ere.
When hogs are ut large, they take in clay
and SILICA with their food, and eat bones
and roots. which contain tho necessary in
grcdients; but when they are pent up, they
endeavor to supply the material necessary
for keeping up their frames by deyouring
ashes and cindcrs, Let them hayc plenty OF
them.
