Then We came to . great tunnaId
Near me sat pretty miss,
And when all was dark az midnigh
Quick from her I stole kiss.
'Oh,' she cried, the people shouted,
And, before we reached the Light.
EGs peering through the window,
In my scat agsin al right.
After passing the great tuunsI,E
To placo We quickly came
Upon tho highest mountain toP,-
And CrassOn is its name 49,
Many people in the summer -
To this pleasant spot repair,
To enjoy its cooling waters
And its puro, iresh mountain ai
At AltoonA We took bFOAklalf,

All the good things on the table

MINK AND GREENBACKS.

FFvO Hunters and Trappers in Southern AL
Z legany and Northern Pennsylvania be it
known, that from this till farther notice, the
subscribers viii pay FIVE DOLLARS EACH
in greenbacks, for all healthy living Mink,
delivered to them in Wellsyille. These Mink
are now worthless for fur, ard will remain
comparatively so for three or four months,
their skins not being prime till about the
middle Of December. Whole litters of Mink
now prevail or the tributaries of the Genesee
and AIlegany, and can be taken in box traps.
Persons catching them have only to keep
them confined in a box well ventilated and
kept in a cool place, with a dish of good pure
water at all times in the box, and half a dozen
if caught can be brought to market at once.
Mirk can be caught much more readily now
than when the season becomes advanced and
cold, and win bring just as good price by
selling to the subscribers. Bring them along
then, 8lngly or by the dozen, and the money
Is ready. WILLIAM W. COLE,

A Greenback xvell invested.

A year ago several journals united in re-
commenting their readers to invest Dollar
"Greenback" in securing that very excellent
Journal for the Household (including the
Little Ones). for the Garden, and for the Farm
called the american Agriculturist. Many per-
sons were thus led to subscribe, and we be-
iieEe all who did so have been much more
fhaA satisfied. They have received the 23d
Annual Volume of the AgricuIturist which is
fun Of good things, useful, practical, and en-
tertalning, and just now the publisher is send
ing out to each of his subscribers applying, a
present of plant of one of the most remark
able Strawberries that has ever been brought
cut. These plants, when sold by the only
other person having them, 90 readily at 70
cents each. So the Greenback invested last
year has certainly PAID WE'LL. All we have
now to say is, let others 90 and do likewise.
Notwithstanding the present advance in cost,
the Publisher still offers to take subscribers
this month (September) at 81 q year, or from
now to the end of 1865 (ffteen months) for
$l,l5. And still fnrther, he offers one of the
most remarkable Strawberry Plants, sent free
and postpaid, to every new subscriber who
encloses cents extra for oil CLOTH packing,
and postage on plant, Our advice to all is,
send the Dollar (or the Sl,l5), and the extra
cents at ouce to Orange Judd, Publisher of
the Agricult4rist at II Park Row, New York
City, and get the paper, etc. You will get a
most beautiful, well illustrated, practical pa
per, and the cheapest one in tho country, to
say nothing of the extra Strawberry Plant,etc.
