How CAMBRIDGE WAS ESTIMATED AMONG
THE WHITE HILLs.-Prof. FELTON, relates a
very amusing story olSAn excursion which he
made to the White Mountains The party
consisted Of himself, Prof. Agassiz, the natur-
alist, Pierce, the mathematician, and four or
i've other scientific friends. AS they wound
their way up steep ascent, the gentlemen
LETT the carriage, and walking along through
the fields by the roadside, examined such OBJ
jects as they found interesting One took out
hammer, and pegged away upon some min
eralogical specimen; another collected rare
plants and flowers. When they returned 10
the coach they were all laden with the trea-
sures which they had acquired, nd with
which they were delighted. One had hand
full Of stones, and the others had either wild
flowers, moths, beetles, or caterpillars pinned
in great quantities upon their coat-lappels.
Mr. FELTON,, alone, sat in the coach persuing a
favorite Greek author, whose style proved
more attractive to him than the uncongenial
exercise of butterfly hunting.
"Who are those fellows ?" asked the coach
man, on their third sortie from the coach
in quest of new objects of interest. -
"They are party of naturalists," said the
professor, wishing not to be interrupted.
'Ahp replied he, with awiseacre look, tthat
accounts for it, poor fellowsr
A few days afterwards the party was in
creased by the arrival, at the Mountain House,
of gentleman and lady, the former of whom
told FELTON, that he had been driven there by
the same coachman who had brought up his
party, and very pretty character he gives
you. "Last Thursday" said he, 81 drove up
set of the queerest-acting fellows ever saw
they were dressed like gentlemen, and were
all Of them thirty-five Or forty years of age,
but they kept jumping out of the coach, and,
like children five or six years of age, run about
the fields chasing after butterflies and insects,
which they stuck all over their clothes. Their

Miscellany.
Scott and the Orderly.

A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser
tells the following characteristic anecaote OF
Lieut.. Gen. Scots
That General Scott was of hasty and iras-
Siple temper in these latter years no one knew
better than himself. That he was as ready to
recall as to utter an unjust rebuke is not per-
maps, as well known to the public as it shoEld
De .' was witness, accidentally, to an incident
illustrative alike of his impatient spirit and
real gentlemanhood. It occurred while he
was yet commander-in-chiet, though I cannot
now Tx the exact time. His Office was on Sew
enteeth street, opposite the War Department.
his carriage stood at the door one afternoon
as passed, and discovering at the instant that
I ne was coming out tor ride, 1 paused to see
MN. Kind enough at heart and thoughtful
vi MS troops when in service, he permitted no
undue familiarity on the part of his soldiers,
and required proper observance on all occa-
slons OF his rank and position. The regulars
knew this well enough, and were not likely to
offend in this regard. His peculiarities were
very little known, however, by the volunteers.
As he came out OF the door Of the building in
which headquarters were at this time. an or
derly stepped up with, as it appeared afterward,
letter rom one OF the bureaus of the War
Department, winch he had been directed to
denVer 10 zen. Scott at once-Of course to his
adJutant-general or chiefof-staff. The willing
but not well-learned volunteer interpreted his
order literally, however; and carelessly giving
the salute, began: 80, general, here's a paper
want you to look at before you" The
naughty veteran of nearly four score seemed
dumbfounded for just one or two seconds, and
then, Strengthening to his full height, and rails
ing his cane, with a sudden sweep Of the arm
Il think he had cane-he exclaimed in
naughty voice "Clear out, sir-clear out p The
astonished orderly sprang away. and the gen.
eral passed to his carriage and was driven off.
The letter was taken in charge of by the Or
DERBY on duty at the Office, and the other slow
iy walked on. The carriage was driven no
more than twenty or thirty rods before it turn
ed about, and the driver called to the unfor-
tunate orderly. He, of course, met it with
nat in hand and fear in every quivering mus
Gle. He was beckoned to the door, and the
general asked his name and regiment-as he
told two or three of us Immediately after
wards. He gave both, and the general an
swered, "Well, sir, report to your colonel that
you We're guilty of gross disrespect to Gener-
al Scott as an officer, and that General Scott
was guilty ofgross dsrespect to you as man.
General Scott begs you pardon. Go to your
"duty, sir"

Asa great many farmers in this State W

Asa great many farmers in this State were
foolish enough to leave their grape-vines on
the trellises during the winter, they find them
killed to the ground. As the roots are proba-
bly, alive, the better way viii be to leave the
dead vines as they are at present, because by
cutting them they will bleed even more pro-
fusely than when alive. Let new vines start
from the ground, taking care not TO allow more
than from one to three shoots to grow. In
August you can cut out the old wood carefully
and give a chance for the new shoots to hard
en- the wood. 1t is true that our winters will
not always kill the Isabella and some other
varieties, but you may be sure that before YOU
get many crops from them they will be killed
to the ground if exposed to our cold winters,
Besides, the vines are better by being protect
ed, even though they be not killed. Even the
hardy Clinton and native grapes were badly
killed the past winter.-.Maine Farmer.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

, Every Intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out for general use should have
their efficacy established by well tested experience in
the hands of regularly educated physician, whose
preparatory studies fits him for all the duties he must

and cure-as purportng to be the best in the worlu

i9rtuhate should be PARTICULAR in selecting his
physician, as it is lamentable yet incontrovert-
a4ie Iact, that many syphilitic patients are made
from inexperienced physicians in general nractice.
Tor It Is point generally conceded by the best syph,
o9raphers, that the study and management of these
who would be competent and successful i'm their
