SINGULAR PHENoMENoN.-On Tuesday
of this week some of the workmen in Mr..
Gould's factory at Mortified Falls, had their
attention arrested by a singular noise, as
though the water was rushing from the pond,
and looking in that direction they saw the
water greatly sgitsted, and near the centre
where the water was of considerable depth,
it was thrown up some ten or fifteen feet
This strange appearance lasted only few
seconds. The noise was heard at distance
of half mile from the place. Who among
our savants can explain the cause s-Me,sen-
ger.
Suppose the river-bottom gave way and lie
the water suddenly into cave or assure
would not the rushing water give the nois'
heard. and the escaping air lift the column o
water OF spray seen,

EcoNoMY OF MOVING MAoHINEs.--A
gentleman OF experience gives as his opinion
that good moving machine will save far
mer, upon an average. one eighth Of his crop
of grass, aside from the fact that haying is
done much sooner, and thereby great saw
ing must DO made. He says the average
height of grass is about sixteen inches. and
that machine mows, upon an average, two
inches closer than the scythe, thus saving two
inches Of grass over the whole surface II a
man cuts forty tons Of hay with moving
machine, he saves five tons OF hay, as he would
have got but thirty-fve tons with the scythe.
Calling hay worth, upon the average, Is per
ton, there is a saving OF $40 year in hay, to
cay nothing of labor. Thus the price of a
moving machine is saved in three years-no
Uncomfortable item. But this is a small item
when compared with the saving in labor and
''the wear and tear of the disposition" in
swinging q scythe through hot forenoon.
! Commend us to the mower as labor saving
machine over all others invented for the use
Of the farmer.-N. IL. Farmer.

SHOCKING ACCIDENTAL Troy, about
10 o'clock ON the 6sh inst, returned soldier
named Elkins, being with the team Of G. H..
Crosse & Son when it was seized by the GUS
tom-house officer for smuggling, got off the
wagon to render some assistance to the Off
Ger, when pistol carried in the inner pocket
Of his vest, exploded and lodged ball in his
abdomen He was living two hours after
wards and showed no signs of external hem
orsge. The accident will undoubtedly prove
fatal.-Nei0s Dealer.
We have learned the facts as to the alleged
smuggling by C. II. Cross 81 Sons teamster,
Marcus Cutler. He was asked by custom
er to take on barrel Of whiskey as matter
of accommodation, and did so, with Mr.. Jo-
siah Elkins, who discharged his pistol acc-
dentAlly when trying to remove the whiskey
barrel. The man who asked the favor was
the smuggler. He promptly assumed the re-
sponsibility for the damages, and the Messrs.
Cross's team was released and is now al
home, to be employed in their Legitimate
business as usual. They are not smugglers
and Elkias was no. in their employ.

TIE ACCIDEeT TO THE ATLANTIC CABLE.
The following statements are furnished the
New York Times by gentleman who is fully
conversant with, and has always taken deep
interest in, the success of the Atlantic cable:
"The accident probably occurred at 8
o clock on the morning OF the 30th. No ac-
count oft could possibly be known. except
on board of the Great Eastern. We might
as well expect the man struck dead by light
ming to tell the cause Of his death, as to look
for an explanation Of the misfortune through
the cable after it ceased to breathe.
The current flowed up to the last moment,
consequently the last pulsation marked its
death.
| The cable must have been perfect as pay
ed out, otherwise no dispatches could have
passed through. At one moment all is right
the next the current fails. The last end Of
time which marked perfect current also up
to that point, makes perfect cable, and the
/ first moment at its beginning without cur
rent, marks the spot where the detection ex-
lists, and that must be on board of ship, or
between the ship and the bottom of the
ocean.
Having found the place, can the damage be
repaired This depends on the ability OF
the cable to support itself in the attempt to
raise it.
The cable is intended to be equal to a
strain of seven tons.
Should the damage be rePnitsd, it cannot
take long to accomplish it. If the effort fails
it is reasonable to suppose that the ship will
return to Ireland, and underrun the ca BILE
from the shore end, and il sufficient be found
perfect with that on board of the ship tc
reach Newfoundland, splice would be made
and another attempt to accomplish this great
enterprise.
The news is damaging, and will dissppoinl
our citizens, but yet it is neither fnal nor IA
tai.
! In laying the old cable, on one occasion
I for more than three hours nc current could
be obtained. Yet the trouble was found, anc
the cable landed, although eventually success
! full in its working.
, We have only to wait a few days at most
8 and then we shall know all.

How TO DESTROY ANTs.-An agri-
culturist, M. GARNER, has just announced
an infallible method for getting rid of ants.
In corner of his garden, infested with le-
gions of these insects, he placed four saul
GERS containing sugar and water, with the
tenth of its weight of arsenic in the mix
ture. A number of ants immediately inva-
ded the sancers, but were soon after per-
ceived staggering away, as it were, and
some being even engaged in dragging their
dead comrades away. From that moment
they disappeared from the garden, and on
the following day not single one was to
be seen. How and whittier this immense
population emigrated in so short time is
a mystery which NJ. GARNER has been un-
able to clear up, and is inclined to attrib-
ute it to some mysterious instinct.-Paris

CABBAGE PLANTs.-A farmer near
Chicago adopts what to us is a novel way
OF raising early cabbage plants. He takes
an old hog trough in the fall, and fills it
with soil, and puts it on the top of fence,
or any place where it will be five Or six
feet from the ground. Here it remains all
winter. The frost mellows the soil, and
in the spring it will be fit to "work' much
earlier than the soil in the garden. He
sows the seed in the trough, and has all
the plants he wants, and some of his
neighbors, and earlier, we are told, than
can be raised in any other way. A frost
which will kill tender plants on the surface
of the ground does not trouble those on
the fence i'll the hog trough.

says :-"To estimate the quantity of she'll

level them, and measure the length,

four. Cut off the last figure and you will
have the mum Der of bushels of shelled

Currants,

OF all the new and Wanted varieties of
curants, do not think there is one supe-
rior to the old RED DUTcH for general
domestic use, The cherry currant is very
large, and certainly fine; but it will not
produce any more, or even so fully as the
old Red. But to get fine crop, the
ground must be rich a heavy dressing Of
good manure should be spread over the
roots just before winter; this will not
only enrich the ground, but preserve the
roots and, as the currant is fbrous root
ing plant, making great quantity of roots
near the surface, protection from frost is OF
some moment. Most currant bushes are
sadly neglected when young. They are
allowed to fruit when small, which weak
ems their growth The currant is so very
precocious that it will fruit when quite
young, but it should be picked of, and
the plants closely pruned down for year
or two, so that they will be encouraged to
branch out and form a spreading bush.-
Some people are averse to suckers, and
prefer single stem. This may be the
best mode-certainly it is the neatest-
but ! find no difficulty in regulating the
branches and the young suckers afford an
opportunity of cutting of some of the OIL
der branches occasionally, which renews
the plant, and also provides against depre-
dations made by the borer, which some
times destroys limb.
OF White varieties, the white grape is
the best that have met. 1t has spread
ing, horizontal mode of growth, and is
easily known from the others. Liquid
manure from the barn-yard, poured over
the roots any time during winter or spring.

currant.
