TELLING TREES BY FIRE.-The idea of
burning down a tree six or eight feet in
diameter, and solid green, would seem to be
simply absurd and ridiculous. But the thing
is done in Oregon every day at vast saving
of time and labor. The operation is done in
these wise: A hole is bored into the tree
horizontally, the nearer the centre the bet
ter. Then directly under this hoe another
Is bored at an angle of elevation so that the
holes meet together near the centre Of the
tree. A coal of fire with kinding is intro
duced into the orifce thus formed. and the
lower hole causes II draugh'. and the upper
one performs the functions of "A chimney

trees down thus much quicker and easier
than he could otherwise do. In similar
manner, when the tree is cut down, it is cut
into pieces by being burned in two. A hole

No Scotchman. says the Registrar Gen.
eral of the country. " will begin any kind of
work on Saturday if he can possibly avoid
it; he fears he should not live to finish it. A
Scotchman will not marry on Saturday he
apprehends that one or other of the parties
would not live out the year. or that the mar
riage would be uniruitful. Except when the
last day of the year falls on Saturday. it is
the favorite marrying day in Scotland. but
the Saturday superstition prevails over the
luck of the end of the year. The detailed
report for 1862. just issued from the Scottish
Registrar Generals Office. shows that full
twentieth of all the marriages Of the year in
Scotland, are celebrated on the 3lst of De.
eember but if that be Saturday, they take
place on the 30th.

MUSICAL PRoDIGY.-Wc find the following
singular statement in the columns Of the
Richmond IVA Republic:
- The Rev. Mr.. Martin, of Tye River
Warehouse. Nelson county, in this State.
has in his possession a more remarkable
prodigy than Blind Tom--a musical mouse.
The reverend gentleman had for sumo nights
heard in his chamber what sounded like the
singing of canary bird, and his curiosity
having become excited, it occurred to him
that it might be a mouse, having heard of
such wonders in natural history. He ac-
cordingly set trap and caught the muSi-
clan, a veritable mouse, who sings like II
canary. only the notes are not quite so loud.
The little animal sleeps the greater part Of
the day, but at night he takes up his tune
fnl melody, and pours forth his low but
sweet strains with little inte-mission till day.

MILKING Stools Farmers are bothered"
often, in milking their cows in the stables or
during wet weather, by the pail getting in
the mud and manure. This may be remedied
by making the milking s.ool in the following
manner: Take board ten inches wide, and
twenty inches or two feet long. Put two
pegs six or eight inches long in one end and
one in the other, for legs. Sit on the end
having one leg, and place the pail before you
