"A Scotchman had reason to perform a
journey to London Beside him in the train
was a fellow passenger, with whom he en-
tered into conversation, and soon the twain
became quite intimate. During the'pause
in the conversation, the gentleman reached
back his hand in the direction of the pocket
in his swallow-tail coat, saying believe
we must have snuff V'0n this, Sawnie,, by
a series of vigorous blows, Immediately
proceeded to set his nose in order for the
reception of the titilaGng beverage; but af-
ter thoroughly searching all his pockets in

AT Housewife, Venango County, Pa

AT Housewife, Venango County, Pa,
on the 18th, an exciting controversy oc1
cured between the Hon. CIV. Culver and
the Deputy Sheriff Of Venango County,
who seized a locomotive belonging to the
Reno and Pithole Railroad at Plumer,
intending to run it over to Housewife and
deposit it upon the Kersey Oil and Min
ing Company horse-railroad track. Mr.
Culver came over from Reno to dispute
the seizure and arrived at Housewife in
advance of the Sheriff. and demanded
possession of the company's property.
The officer refused to comply and Culver
ordered his men to draw revolvers and
take forcible possession. Subsequently
the law prevailed and the officer took the
property.

Art and Science.

The Mechanics Magazine says that coal
oil is better article for preserving sodium
and potassium than naptha. In coal oil So
da keeps its lustre for months and years,
while in the purest naptha it is dimmed in
few days.
1T has lately been discovered by Ger
man chemist that most 5easttiful scarlet or
purple dye may be produced from theme.
This substance occurs in the leaves of spe-
cies of horse-chestnut and holly, which grow
in Brazil, as well as in tea.
| Color blindness is not disease of Eis-
ion but rather remarkable condition of
vision. Dalton discovered his color-blind-
ness by hearing geranium called red
which head thought light blue. Dugald.
Stewart could not tell cherry from its
leaves, only by the form.
"A Mr.. Harding has been experimenting
with open steel tubes, in which he inserts
charge of gunpowder backed by felt wad,
and, at short distance in the rear, another
felt wad, leaving an air space between. On
the top of the charge Of powder or cotton is
ball, in immediate contact with the charge.
The charge is ignited in the usual manner at
the end, and the effect on the ball seems to
be that of gun with breech, while the
wads are thrown out at the rear end of the
tube, torn into lint, and the tube has no re-
coil.
What is Saleratus? Wood is burnt to
ashes, these are lixivated, and lyeis the re-
suit. Lye is evaporated by boiling, black
salt is the residuum. The salt uudergoes
publication by fire, and the potash of COM
merce is produced. By another process we
change potash into pearlash. Now put
in aolyc nd r1o thors
lery mash tub, where the fermentation
evolves carbonic acid gas, and the pearlash
absorbs it and is rendered solid; the pro-
duct being heavier, whittier, and drier than
the pearlash. 1t is now saleratus. How
much such salts Of lye and carbonic acid
gas one can bear and remain healthy, is a
question for saleratus eater.
Another explosive compound, more de-
structive than nitrog lycerine, has been
brought to light. The chemical mixture is
called sodium amalgam 1t is never manu-
featured in very large quantities, though it
has been advertised for sale in San Francis
co, one firm claiming to have as much as 200
ounces for sale. The amount is not large,
but when it is understood that the explosive
power of one ounce is equal to about 25
pounds of gunpowder, or % pounds Of nj
tro-glycerlne, 1t can be readily conceived
that even if Is or 20 ounces exploded in
one place, it would create immense havoc
And when one further reflects that even so
little thing as a spoonful of water coming
in contact with 200 ounces of sodium would
cause an explosion equal to that which
would be occasioned by theignition of 5000
pounds of powder, or the conclusion of 500
pounds of nitro-g lycerine, we can form
some conception of its tremendous destruct-
i've power.

SowED CoRN-We hope the dairy-men of
the West will follow the practice of their
eastern brethren, and SOW corn for feeding
the mich cows as the pastures begin to
fail and water becomes scarce; indeed, at
the approach of winter, some nutriment
aside from that which the grasses afford, is
indispensable if a full flow of milk is to be
kept up, and the full profits of the dairy
realized. We@believe the experience of half
score of years among the dairy men of
Herkimer and Oneida counties, has proven
conclusively that corn furnishes the cheap
est and best food for this purpose; it grows
luxuriantly, and is highly relished by the
cows.
For sowing, we believe our Western or
"Dent" corn as it is called, gives the most
satisfactory yield. The ground upon which
it is sown should be rich-any good prairie
soil of course answering; it may be sown
either broadcast or in drills; if the latter
way, about two and one-half bushels of
seed to the acre will be required; if the
former, it will take more, say three bushels
per acre. Clean ground should always be
chosen if possible, un<rrrr r -
/ Slowed corn is not alone good as green
food for cows, but properly cured and stack
ed or housed it is an excellent substitute for
hay, as is we'll known; in fact, all kinds of
stock are fond of it, and will thrive well
upon it with very little other feed.
1t is now time to put in the crop. Choose
a place for sowing where it can be conven
iently cut and fed, as it is bulky aud heavy
to handle and haul. The double row corn
planters with drill attachment answer ad-
mirably to put in the seed, if the drill sys-
| 10 ia ha cd 30
used upon the place, as the amount of
ground required is not large, it is not
very laborious to put it in by hand.

DEFENCE OF THE CRow-The crow in
many parts of the world is considered a
marauder of the farm, and the gun in per-
severingly used for his determination. The
most able writers on ornithology, and 9TH
ers who have studied his habits, agree that
instead of being a robber and pest to the
farmer, he is one of his most faithful friends
and greatest benefactors. He consumes in
the course of the year vast quantities Of
grubs, worms and noxious vernin: he is a
valuable scayenger, and clears the land of
offensive masses Of decaying animal SUBJ
stances he hunts the grass fields, and pulls
out and devours the underground eaterpil-
lars; wherever he perceves the sign of
heir operations as evineed by the wilted
stalks; he destroys mice, young rats, lizards
and snakes; lastly, ne is a volunteer senti-
mel about the farm, and drives the hawk
from its Enclosures thus preventing greater
mischief than that of which be is himself
guilty. 1t is chiefly during seed time and
harvest that the depredati0ns Of the crow
are committed; during the reminder of
the year we witness only his services, and
so highly are those services appreciated by
those who have written of birds, that we
csrnot name an ornithologist who does not
plead in his benalf-Spirit Of the Times.

The MethodiStS.


The General Conference Of the Metho.
dist Episcopal Church, South, met on the
18th at New Orleans The result of the war
has left the Church in peculiar position
iu some respects. First, the title-"Metho.
dist Episcopal Church, South"-which can
be changed only by the General Conference,
is Objectionable. The Church does not pro.
pose to coD6ne its operations to the South,
1850 called " She has. already, since the
war closed, received a large accession of
members from one of the annual conferences
formerly attached to the Northern General
Conference, and proposes to get rid of a
sectional name, so that her influence may be
co extensive with the Union. The title
proposed by Drs Doggett and Edwards, and
others, is "Episcopal Methodist Church )"
which strikes us-who, perhaps, have no
right to say so-as being very expressive,
distinctive and appropriate
Another matter which will come before
the General Conference, is the question as
10 how long minister should be allowed 10
serve one congregation. A strong disposi
tion is manifested by many of the most
thoughtful minds among the clergy, to ex.
tend the period hitherto allowed.
We also notice that proposals are made
to publish the Episcopal service in connec-
tion with the Discipline, &c. From present
appearances, it would seem that the Meth
odist Church will become blended with the
"Protestant Episcopal Church of the United
States happy reunion, and in cousou
ance with the advice OF the great founder

Legal Effect ofthe Proclamation.

"When the President has proclaimed
State to be in insurrection, the courts must
hold that this condition continues until he
decides to the contrary"
The civil war of 1S60-6l began by Proc.
lamation, and has ended the same way. Uu-
like foreign war, Congress had no hand
in the declaration, as the so-caled Southern
Confederacy never had any legal existence,
and was destroyed by the success of arms.
