Preserving Flowers in their Natm al
Form.

Several have inquired of the american
.Agriculturist how this is done. The de-
tails of the process are kept secret by those
who practice it as business, but the gen,
eral facts are we'll known. Very fine
beach or other sand is used as the drying
material; it is prepared for u by wash,
ing it until the water no longer comes of
turbid; it is then thoroughly dried anc
heated and allowed to cool. A common
flower pot with the hole stopped up, OF
other convenient vessel, is partly filled
with the sand, and the flowers are stuck
in this more sand is then added so as to
cover the flowers.
Great care is needed in this part Of the
operation, and the sand should be filled
into and around the flower, so that it will
be supported on all sides, and all warping
or crushing avoided. The pot is filled
up with sand and the whole set in warm
place until the flowers are dry. 1t will
require from one to two or three days, ac-
cording to the nature of the flower; the
proper time for each can only be deter
mined by experiment. The flowers should
be perfectly free from dew or other mois-
ture, and the sand perfectly dry when
used. 1t is best at each operation TO heal
the sand quite hot and allow it to become
cool before using, Flowers dried in this
way are exceedingly brittle, and must be
handled with the greatest care. They
are usually made into boquets or wreaths
and placed in glazed frame or put under
glass shades. 49,.

How to DsstrOy the Curculio.

Thirty years ago the late David Thom-
as, OF Cayuga county, recommended IN
our old Genessee Farmer. the Earring pro-
cess for the destruction oil the Curculo ;
and although volumes have since been
written upon the subject, and multitudes
of remedies been offered, we have never
met with one which we deem so entirely
successful as this OF David Thomas. A
correspondence the Newark (N.J.) JHer-
curry says:
"The writer of this has had a long wal
with the Curculio. He has battled with
him through fifteen campaigns, and except
the three first, when he relied upon the
weapons OF quackery. has always conquer
ed. He has used the various washes and
fumigatlons of horrible odors, has bull
forlitirations OF cotton and tar, and troughs
filled weh oil, round the bodies Of the
trees, and placed whole loads of offensive
manures under favorite fruits, and on one
occasion bored holes in the bodies oil
trees and plugged in charges Of sulphur -
Even at this time he occasionally Jared
the trees over sheets, as directed in some
of the books, and killed large numbers OF
the enemy, but subsequent experience
proved that this was not effectually done
the consequence was, no apricots, no nee
tarines, no plums, and but few apples ex-
cept little gnarly things.
'But since those three years, the gar
ring process was systematically resorted
to and has prove perfect remedy. The
fruit crops since have never failed; even
the apricot and neclarne trees never losing
any portions of their crops from, this cause,
and frequently overloaded"

Townsend's company OF the 1st Delaware cav
attached to the regular 10 o'clock train.
The authorities here having been informed
by telegraph Of the arrest Of Atzerot, Colonel
IDgraham Colonel Luddington, and Marshal
Murray, of New York, with strong MILL
tary force, were in attendance at the rail-
road station, and Immediately upon the arri-
val of the train guard was placed at every
door Of the passenger cars to prevent the pas
sengers from leaving the cars until the prison.
er had been removed to place OF safety. This
precaution was taken to avoid any tumult by
the fact OF his arrival being divulged.
AtZerott was then taken quietly from the

been seized by the military authorities, for the
purpose, and rapidly driven to a safe place of
confinement.
AS soon as the passengers were allowed to
leave the train. and it became known that the
rapidly, and in very short time an immense
crowd of persons had assembled at Col Ingra-
hams Office in anticipation that he would be
brought there, but in this they were dishp-
pointed.
While on the way, Atzerott maintained
sullen silence, and endeavored to assume an
air OF Indifference. He was we'll dressed, and
appears to have made no efforts to con ceal his
identity. He has a thoroughly bad face and
repuls1ve manners,
