AVINE NEAR THE DooR.-The Massa-
chusetts Ploaonsan well says that traveller
over a country road would instinctively have
his eye caught and his thoughts somewhat
tangled up by iRe vine grow ng vigorously
near the door of home It does not nas
ter how small or humble thit home may be,
it is raised in the esteem of any observing
passer-by holding up the suggestive shelter
of a vine- 1t expresses love in the house,
,thoughtfulness for what is at once graceful
and-32propriate, pure and healthy domestic
sentiment; and spirit of contended happi-
ness which many one goes the world over
to find, and looks for in vain Such a sim
pie home ornament as this is a token for all
men to see, that the dwellers beneath the
roof it adds expression to, are persons of
feeling for what is true and lovely, fer
native refinement and quiet happiness
There should not be farm honse in the land
without vine somewhere contiguous.

PROTECTION TO WINTER WHEAT.-It is
suggested by Western farmer, says the
Maryland Former, that wheat fields may be
protected from the severe weather of winter
by sowing oats with the wheat, or rather
sowing oats first and covering them, and
then follow in day or two with wheat. 1t
is thought the oats win help protect the
wheat during the winter, disappearing Of
course in the spring. Another plan is to
mulch the wheat, late in the fall, with fine
manure, or lacking this, with coating of
straw. What effect either of these plans
may have in protecting the wheat from the
severity of the winter, we do not know
One or all of them might be tried on small
lots Of ground, and their comparative merits
be tested ata tri6ing expense. As the coun-
try becomes divested of the forest trees the
wheat fields are exposed to increasingly Sc
we're trials from wind and frost. Less snow
falls now than formerly and what does come
is borne from the wheat fields by the winter
blasts which career over them since divested
of the protection of surrounding forests

AGRICULTURAL.

A SUGGEsTIoN TO Corn GROWERS.
the farmer would be content to deal with his
other fruit to take the trouble of double
in-gathering, to crop ears of corn as he
would basket cherries or bin hops, and then
to NOW his straw as he mows his hay
he would incur his first expense perhaps
doubleof his present. Ifwhen the corn ar
rived at aproperstage Of maturity, irrespect-
i've of barometer or weathercock, he were to
turn all available hands, women and children
more proftably than men, on his well-eared
fields, each provided with basket such as
that in which seed corn is carried, slung
around the neck, and small knife, or trl-
angle piece of iron, worn like tailor 8 thin
bic on the forefnger, the whole of the corn
would be rapidly secured, being plucked or
rather bent over the knife Immediately be-
meath the ear dropped at once into the bas-
ket, and never suffered to touch the ground,
or knocked about to the loss of a single
grain before it was safely deposited in the
granary; then, if wet, it would be safely
and inexpensively subjected to a simple pro-
cess of drying, process which, if onceadopt-
ed, would be likely to become universal,
whether the corn were in-gathered wet or
dry, as it would entirely obyiate the painful
and clumsy process of thrashing
IF the ears of corn were placed in baskets
or wire trays, tier above tier, so thata strong
and sustained blast of air were driven through
them, whether set in motion by fan or by
the draught Of lofty chimney, the great
power of which is well known to those who
have had to deal with really high stacks
not only would all superfuous moisture be
rapidly absorbed, but the ear would become
SO dry as to cease to retain the grain, which
would fall from the basket as from sleeve
on the slightest motion, The precious part
Of the crop thus secured, the farmer would
take his own time for moving the straw, or
cutting it by machinery; at least he would
do so until practice in drying the wheat it
self should teach him that it was a false
economy to lose either straw or hay in un-
favorable weather for want of proper ar
rangements for drying these valuable crops.

We take the following from the New
York Herald of the 7th:
AS there may be some curiosity to
know who this new man of q new order
Of things is, this man who suddenly
blazes forth like a meteor among the
solid, fixed stars of our political firma-
ment, we are happy to say we have been
furnished with the information by some
admirer too modest to give his name.
In this communication we have the i'm
portant information that Mr.. Jay Cooke
was born in Sandusky, Ohio, 1922. The
day and hour are not given. He was a
selfreiant and energetic boy" and he
commenced his business life at the age
of thirteen in a mercantile house. The
first three years he was employed in San.
dusky and St LoHis; then, at seventeen
years of age, he entered the bauki- q
house Of Z. W. Clark & Co.. pmladel-
phia. At twenty.one he became a mart
ner. In 1860 he established the banking
house Of Jay Cooke & Co, Philadelphia.
After the war broke out, in 1861. he was
employed to negotiate the first I-30 loan.
This, through Mr.. Chase, gave him that
lucrative connection with the Govern
ment finances which in three or four
years made him millionaire Of the first
rank Jay Cooke soon established a
house in Washington, in addition to the
one in Philadelphia, after be became the
financial agent Of the Government
After tbs war closed be opened a house
also in New York. His rise has been as
surprising as that Of Mr.. McCulloch, and
both from the same starting point and
through the same agency. Both were

How TO Break A Chill.

A young man from this city met with
an adventure at Yellow Springs, on
Monday, which he will not soon forget,
il he lives to remember anything. His
statement is, that being at Yellow
Springs on that day, and suffering from
chill, he went to drug store and asked
for something to break the chill. The
druggist gave him an ounce and half
OF aqua ammonia, and the young man
AYERS that he took down the entire
quantity at single draught Aqua
ammonia, we should here remark, is a
soothing fluid, about sixteen times as hot
asthe strongest brandy.
The young man soon found himself
suffering inward torment, like that OF
Dives, aud applied to physician, who
gave him a pint Of sweet oil, all Of which
he drank, rs he had done with the other
dose. He then threw up the whole
conglomeration-aqua ammonia, sweet
oil and a good deal Of blood with them.
This done, he made all haste to Spring
field, where he obtained the services of
Dr. Buckingham, and is now lying under
his care-not in serious danger, we
believe, but with q most fearfully blis-
tered mouth, throat and gullet The
only wonder is that he was not burned up
bodily, il he has correctly reported his
course of treatment We presume the
chill is broken.
Aqua ammonia, in doses OF ten to
thirty drops, largely diluted, is remedy
frequently used for stimulative purposes.

We have had 80 many inquiries con-

his trial by commission has been defer.
red for some weeks-the military board
having adjourned their sitting on account
of the prevalence of yellow fever in the
city,
Meantime his accuser, the Provost
Marshal at this place, has been before
the Justices Court here for two days
confessing some charges, and defending
himself against others, the least of which
we believe is, obtaining goods under
false pretenses. And the evidence
being in the judgment of the assembled
justices, sufficient to convict him, he
was held to bail in the sum of FIVE hun.
dred dollars, or in default thereof, to be
committed to Jail Fortunately for the
Provost, one of the so.called was
found, who furnished the required bail
q kindness, which, in our opinion, be
little knows how to appreciate, and of
which he is less deserving. We think if
Mr.. Gatewood and the Provost were de-
creed to change places it would be q
fine exempli6cation of the old maxim:

A Bslligerent D. D.

Philadelphia Cor Cincinnati Commereial.l
The Rev. DR.. Eagleson (0ld SCHOOL,,
of Western Pennsylvania, moved that a
committee be appointed to report basis
of union between all the branches Of the
Presbyterian family, for consideration
and adoption by them. The motion was
seconded, and, being announced, was
lengthily discussed. DIR. Breckinridge
took the floor very promptly, and pro-
ceeded TO say:
L am decidedly oppoved, sir, to this
motion, or any effort Of the kind-that is
proposing any basis for oreanic union
between these bodies. / suppose the
Old School Presbyterian Church is the
largest body of Presbyterians in the
world, aud there are sitting down here
two or three offshoots from us, the New
School and the Cumberland people (;
but would be willing, and l suppose
all our churches and our people would
be willing, to let the United, Reformed
(or whatever you call III Church prepare
and give Us basis for union, provided
only they will do il better than We could

withdraw his motion, though know be
won't do IT.. for he is a Pcesbyterias

Dr.. Eagleson replied, through the
chair, that the motion was already the
property Of the house, and be could not,
therefore, take Il again,

Mr.. Breckenridge then proceeded I;
"The most likely union that can be
looked for, sir" he continued, lis be-
tween our church and the other branch,
rs they have got now 10 calling il; but,
sir, that union will never be consum.
mated [sensationl, for all they have APP
pointed committee aud so on. No,
sir, you will not see that union IL you
live" Here Mr.. Stewart, whom he was
addressing, said, 81 hope shall, sir. I"
"Well, sill" replied the Doctor, " hope
you'll live thousand years; but take
my word for it, you'll never see that re-
union. Not but that respect and love
my brethren that are on that committee
those Of the Old School, | mean-I
don't know anything about the others
[laughierl, but they won't accomplish
this. Why, sir, there isn't appointed on
the committee of our Assembly, a single
man who has any reputation whatever
for theological learning"
Several members rose 10 call the
speaker to order, and the chairman,
rapping the desk with his gavel, reminded
DR.. Breckenridge that personalities could
not be allowed. The Doctor went on,
however, in the same strain for a mo-
ment, when the chairman again called
him to order. The Doctor turned some
what wrathfully to the chairman, and
continued speaking, while Mr.. Stewart
said ~ have as much respect for
Robert j. Breckenridge as any man has,
but | cannot permit these remarks on
brethren known and respected
Dr. Breckenridge demanded to know
what was the name Of the brother who
had called him to order. He did not
mean to offend the feelings OF any one.
/ am responsible, said he, to God
Almighty and to man for what say, and
/ know what i am saying; and if any
one doesn't like what say, he knows
where live. [Great laughter and SEN
sation
Further objection being made to the
spirit OF the Doctor remarks, the chair.
man again called him to order, where
upon Dr. Breckinridge began to descend
from the platform, saying something
about not being allowed to speak. Many
members cried out to him to go on,
and the chairman most courteously
begged him to remain and finish his
remarks; but the Doctor, stepping back
again, said "No, sir, ] will not go on,
and if you proceed to force this matter
through, the curse of God will rest on
you"
The remark was received with cries of
"Shame " and not few Kisses from all
parts Of the house, quickly rebuked by
the chair, who reminded the Doctor that
he should remember he was not in his
own church courts only, but in general
convention. "Well, sir, said Breckin.
ridge, 81 know where | am--and this is
the first time l ever saw layman con-
stituted the presiding officer Of such
body. II is contrary to all law and pre-
cedent."
With that, the Doctor left the stand
and returned to his seat, and, after some
further discussion, the motion to COM
nit was adopted.
