NERVE OF OuR NAVAL GUNNERs.-The fol
lowing incident occurred on board the Lack
awanna Immediately after butting the ram
Tennessee, during the recent naval engage
ment in Mobile Bay. A correspondent says:
On this side we had but one large gun
our whole battery being pivoted on the star
board side, it being our intention to have
brought him on that side after striking him,
but the delivery of her broadside, and the
tremendous crash against this mountain Of
iron, disarranged things sn that we were
unable to pivot round in time for her. The
captain of this gun, a quartermaster, was in
the port fore chains, at the lead. Throwing
the lead on the monsters back, he sprang to
his gun, AMI depressing her until the muzzle
came within line of the ramparts, he stood.
with lock string in hand. the rebels irving
to shoot him down with small arms from their
port holes, as they knew the gun was loaded,
and our crew rs valiantly keeping them from
reloading theirs. At this moment one of
them, whether lieutenant or seanan can
not say, stuck his head oat of the part hole
and sang out, Let her c,me: let her come. y
Our quartermaster cooily replied :. Hold on
a Bit" And hold on be, did. until aboet

Coop CURE.-A newly married wife, living
in New Orleans, recently discovered that her
husband was disposed to come home fire.
quently late at night. in state of oblivious
forgetfuluess She determined to cure him
of this habit. About two weeks ago he en-
tered at midnight. and staggering into the
bedchamber, was soon fast asleep. The
wife said nothing, but when she thought he
was sound asleep she procured II large darn
ing needle. and threading it with strong
piece OF twine, sat quietly at work sewing
him up in a blanket. She sewed good and
strusgf TN as the gray streaks of dawn be-
gan to tighten the east. her task was done.
In this condition she left him, and repair
ed to the dwelling of a friendly neighbor,
there to await the result About 10 O'Clock
persons IN the neig hborhood were startled by
the soanl of the most distressing cries issuing
from the house ard rushing to the rescue,
| supposing that murder was being committed,
they forced the Dor and there found the poor
man bound up as tightly as a bale of cotton,
! in the blanket of his own bed. He begged
them to release him, as he was dying from
thirst. and could not move. The neighbors
stood aghast. They thought him the victim
of some terrible plot-some burglars scheme;
but as they were in the act of extricatine
him, in rushed his wife and ordered them to
desist.
Cut not a thread" she cried g did it,
and he shall remain there till be makes a
solemn promise never to come home drunk
again"
He declared he would in future keep better
hours and drink less rum. In the future, al
the wife has to do when her husband is dis
posed to take a little little too much, is te
show him darning needle, and say, . Take
care, sir. or I'll sew you up"

FRUIT TREEs.-Never prop up tree load,
cd with fruit, to prevent the branches from
breaking down. Any branch or tree which
requires propping. has more fruit than it
ought to carry either for the good of the tree
or the good of the fruit. The first thing to
do Is to remove all the smaller, poor or knot
ty specimens. If this is done before growth
has ceased and sometimes after ripening has
commenced, the improvement to the remain.
ing portion viii more than compensate for the
reduction in number. In those regions where
the peach bears only occasionally the owners
often attempt to get all they can by allowing
an over abundant crop to remain. They will
get quite us many bushels by removing one
half or two thirds. aud obtain an immense
superiority in flavor. Many cultivators have
observed that the last ripening peaches on a
tree are incomparably better than the first
merely because they are not crowded. How
much better would they be by removing the
crowding portion before ripcning. II you
wish to have good. healthy uniformly grow

age, do not let them ovcrhaar.

TaE Philadelphia Inquirer of recent date
says :: = The Seventh Ward Bounty Fund
Committee lately called at the house of a
woman. of whom they requested snbscrip
ton. The old lady replied that her only son
was in the army, and that bare living was
all that she obtained from her sewing work,
and therefore she could not contribute. She
said she lived only for her country aud her
SON. and alb she owned was gold dollar,
which, she kept for over three years, and
which she priced very highly on account Of
he< san having presented it to her. This
dollar said she. ( will devote to my coun-
try" The Bounty Committee refused to take
if.-owing tn her INDECENT circumstances, but
she insisted upon it.. Subsequently, at a
meeting of the ward for the purpose of pro-
curing money to pay the volunteers, the gold
dollar was offered for sale. As memento
of patriotism, it realized one hundred and
eighteen dollars in green backs"
