A good method to produce early Gu
cumbers is the following: Make a
trench at the warmest place of the gar
den; into this put old manure, about
three inches; ON this plant the seeds
and cover them with saw dust, two or
three inches. Cucumbers thus treated
are said to come earlier, endure rain,
drouth, and even little frost, far bet
ter than those treated another way
Against severe night frosts they should
be protected by boards.

fill them twO-thirds with coed soil; put
the seeds on this, and cover with saw

gives the following directions for
the preservation of eggs; Now
the most effective, simple and ecOnomi-
cal plan for truly preserving eggs, or
rendering them fit for. Matching pnr-
poses, is to use the patent stoppered
glass Jars with vulcanized India rubber
Joints, and proceed thus: Immediately
after daily collecting the eggs, put the
lar IN hot water, and when thoroughly
warm so as to rarity the air, place the
eggs in the jar the pointed end upper
most. and pack the line with paper sha-
wing of cocoa fibres to prevent them
from breaking; then close the jar before
taking it out of the water, and 1T VIII be
found that eggs preserved in this man
ner will be fit for Matching twelve
months after, and that those intended
for the breakfast table will be as fresh
as on the day when laid. IS

comments on the proposed impeachment OF
President johnson
Now to our mind the proposition of impeachment
is full of danger that he who fathers it must
be short sighted terribly depraved. There is not
a rational in the country that does not that
ii carries upon its very face the commencement OF
civil war; by the side Of which the late rebellion
would appear as shild's play. Before any one &C
customs his mind to wander too far in that direction
let him enquire if he is prepared for state of an
archs that would destroy the value of property, that
would repudiate national and private debts together
that would so darken the of republican liberty
that this century would not its face again, AMI
would make human blood run in the streets till the
very dogs would lap it like water. If any man of
fighting age faYors the deposng of the President n
the present of she country, let him join milf
tary company once and drill as often as he eats
and if he is that age, but has boys that are,
let him call them to him the first opportunity and
look them fairly in the face, decide which OF Them
or how many of them, he is ready to die rather
than have Andrew johnson President of the United
States till the 18th of March, 1869
1t is time this insanity ceased. If We are not all
crazy, or drunk, mad, shall tell all men of all
parties, who propose such schemes, "away devils
we'll none of you" We want more war no
more Staying of the first born; more MANNED
men, or dsconsolate widows, orphan children up
on our pension list. We want no more public debt
and no higher taxes than now have. We want
no President who would put state against state and
man against man in deadly array, by ignoring the
representatives of the people and we want no rep
resentatves lost to reason, right and pubhc duty,
as to propose the deposition OF the President. The
times are full enough of danger without any such
madness. Every good and true man-every man
who loves his race or his God, will seek peace not
war : restoration, not destruction prosperity, not
anarchy and love to all men everywhere, and hate
o none, and malice
