The culture of this fruit, unequaled
we think BY any other grown, we are
glad to see lie becoming more general.
Almost every person having Q garden OF
any size is Beginning to try his band
at it, and it can be done with as much
success as raising crop of corn. The
ground should have o warm exposure
and'b be- friable-clay mould not being
adapted-the hills should be dug out
six inches and filled with well-rotted
manure and rich soil-five or six seeds
should be put at equal distances about
an inch in depth, and the chilli. should
be even with the other soil. The
hills should be about six feet apart
each way, and the plants, when they
shall have passed all danger, should
be thinned out to about three in hill.
The bed must be kept clear of all weeds
and grass, and when the vines COM
mence running they should not be dis
turbed, or the rootlets connected with
the vines, and by which it is largely
supplied with nourishment, will be
broken. The ground as the vines be-
gin to extend, should be gone over with
an iron rake, especially after heavy
shower, to loosen it and give these
rootletS chance to take hold. They
should be planted at the time of corn
planting.
There is no reason why all our farmers
should not have patch of canteloupes
for family use. A plot of gronnd forty
by twenty feet would be enough for a
moderately-sized family.-Germd ntown

The sltIsenian Tabica.x.


To those who have neglected to wit
ness the grand paintings illustrating
Milton's paradise Lost )" we would re-
mind them that tonight closes the ex-
hibition, and will probably the last
opportunity they will have Of witness
ing series of paintings that not only
commend themselves as productions of
a fine art, but convey q story which for
sublimity of conception has for many
years challenged the admiration Of the
literary world. In looking upon the
scenes one is transported to another
world and gazes in rapturous surprise
upon the beauties of the heavenly world,
and realizes the great power of the
Omnipotent Ruler who reigns therein.
The poetic conception of the appearance
of Satan is the best we ever saw, repre-
sentiIg him of princely mien, while the
spigit of malignity sits upon his brow.
But our space forbids our going into an
extended description of the exhibition,
and had we columns at our disposal our
pen could not adequately portray its
beauties. Go and see for yourselves,
and you will have a picture gallery in
your mind that will be ever pleasant to
recur to and furnish you food for many
pleasant thoughts.
A matinee will be given this afternoon
for the benefit of families and schools.
If you regard the pleasure Of your chill
dren as anything, do not fail to take
them to the exhibition, for child nat
urally appreciates beauty, and no oppor-
tunity shonld be lost to crafty their
taste in this respect.

Ssnsensy & Giffin, sign of the Big
Hat, ON Monroe street. They keep all
kinds of mems head gear, from plain
chip'to fine silk tile, and the beauty
of it is that they sell them so cheap
that no man can have any provocation
for dishonoring his brains by going
bare headed; in fact, they even give
them away, as was satisfactorily proven
to us yesterday. They are clever and
gentlemaniy young men who pay strict
attention to their business, and are de-
serving Of large share of public pat-

SELECTING SHEEP-The most ap-
proved form in sheep is general round
ness of shape and fiueness of bone. The
chest should be broad, the ribs well
arched, the back and loins broad, fiat
and straight; the limbs should be short
in proportion to the body, the head
small, the ears thin, the skin soft and
elastic, the wool soft to the touch, thick
and coming we'll forward to the face,
but not covering it. The face and fore
head should be clothed with short hair,
and tho eyes should have lively ex-
preston.
Every small bird is worth o great
deal more than what he eats in the way
of fruit and grain for his services in
destroying insects and grubs.

Wearing Of the Grey.

/ wearing d tne eFey.
The Local of the IRteliigencer is a
most sarcastic cuss, indulging in
vein Of irony as keen and cut
ting rs that dull agricultural imple-
ment known as hoe. He is a gener-
Gus soul, too-giviDg us the credit Of
discovering disloyalty in grey clothes.
Being a modest youth, We resign all
pretensions, and upon the principle of
"giving the devil his due" confer all
honor upon the Local of the Inteiligenoer
as the original discover, in whose illus
trious footsteps we have modestly fol-
lowed. He tries TO fatter us into re-
moving our talents and personal effects
to some more pretentiOus city; but We
beg leave to protest against that
mode of getting us out of his way. We
rather like Wheeling, and think we
shall remain in ii for short season;
our cotemporary's desire to get rid of
us notwithstanding. If there he any
merit i'm our article on the Postmas-
ter's suit Of grey, We claim no credit,
for it was borrowed almost entirely
from the Intelligenor, there being but
the simple alteration Of policemen to
Postmaster. Ii has been said that "time
works wonders" and the IntelliJeReeT
article is an evidence of the truthful-
ness Of the saying. Anee suit of grey
is an evidence of disloyalty, and an Of
fence against the loyal feelings Of the
community; but it has only TO be worn
six months to become purified and sane
titled in the eyes of the profoundly
loyal. What convenient thing knot
hole is, to be sure, and how fortunate
it is that the supple and slippery youth
that scribbleth for the Isteliigencer has
had so much experience Is to be able
to squirm through with so much ease
and upon such short notice. As O
sumersanltist and transformatiOnist, he
would be.a fortune TO side-show, and
would prove formidable. rival, In at
traction. to the learned pig and the
india-rubber man. He ought to hang
out his sign Of Turning and Twisting
Done to Order on Short Notice"

Another Advocate Of Reputation.

4 recent number of the New York
Aodld has leading article styled "No
Ircdson-Thc National Debt a National
S,riadle," which, while appearing to
denounce the action of the Government
IN allowing JEFF. DAVIS to be released
OF hail, adopts the following language
in which TO suggest reputation:
Soon, if we mistake not, the people
will interpret the action Of the Govern
nent, the Chief Justice, Underwood,
Greeley, and Of all the rest, rs repudi-
4ting treason and as declaring the war
/, failure in its results. If so, will they
not regard a national debt u national
.wmdle. and repudiate that as readily
~ the crime of treason has been repudi-
.,cd Understanding the action
OF the government and the judiciary as
virtually declaring there is no such
crime rs treason, We should not be snr-
prised To sec, within fye years, the debt
Hreated bv the war repudiated as an i'm
position and fraud. That, in fact,
would be the logical consequence Of
letting treason go untried and unpun-
ished. If there be no treason the war
vas all wrong, and the national debt
ia national swindle.
1t is not a great while since the Her
ild took the sacredness of the war debt
into its holy keeping, and started
,cheme for paying it oil by private sub
'Cription. Now its advocacy of repu-
dia,ion has no other qualification than
an If" of doubtful virtue. This is on
" another straw showing the necessity
fan equalization of taxation and an
equitable adjustment Of the national OBJ
.igations. If the credit Of tho country
md the in.crrsts of those who hold its
,.cuTities are to be maintained. The
hrdlFs article is aothing more nor less
than an initial step towards bold and
nneguivocal advocacy of reputation.

Affairs in Tennessee.

Political matters in Tennessee have
assumed a very disgracefnl aspect.
BRowNLOw'S pets. who are styled by
courtesy militia have taken full pos
session of many sections Of the State,
and are inaugurating perfect reign OF
terror. They are said to bemade up
chiefly of youths from fifteen to twenty
wears of age, of that lazy. shiftless,
worthless class who hang round the
.roggeries of small country towns. They
.re as destitute Of discipline as they are
OF moral principle, and as consequence
neither the rights of persons nor prop
erty are secure against their assault.
The object of their organization is the
election of BRowNLow, B0REMAN's
model. and if murder and robbery can
kill off or drive off the friends of ETH
BRIDGE, their success is by no means
doubtful. The annexed extract from
the Pittsburg Commercial of yesterday
is one of numberless similar occurrences
with the details of which the papers
are filled.
NASHVILLE, May 3O.-A reign of terror
exists in Franklin county, caused by
Brownlow's militia. The citizens held
meeting at Winchester on Wednes-
day night, at which it was reported the
military took man named Brown and
shot him dead, and also had shot at
another citizen. Many are hiding to
avoid being killed. The President was
petitioned to protect the lives and
property Of the people. Failing to do
this, the people are recommended to
protect themselves.
The case is hard one but there seems
TO be no remedy. II the people protect
themselves, there will be endless clam
ors from the "loyalists" Of the North
and the next Congress will be swift to
devise new measures for their deeper
degradation. If they submit, outrage,
ruin and often death must be their 70
ward. .....,
Yet from such scenes are to be worked
up the history of . campaign in the in
terests Of loyalty" and when BRowN.
Lows bayousts have triumphed over
the ballots Of his opponents, We will,
doubtless, hear the most extravagant re-
loieings from the lips of the faithful
over the Splendid Union yietsry.r<

BRUIsING OATS FOR HoRsEs.-The
fact that oats are frequently undigested,
and pass through the horse without
change, should be sufficient to show the
importance of bruising-for certainly no
benefit can be derived from that which
is undigested by the animal. Expert
ments made by the London Omnibus
Company, and othes, show that q small
or quantity is required to produce the
same ability to. work, when the oats arc
bruised, than when fed whole.

The railroad fever has at last taken

viii build the road. So mote it be.
It seems strange that people are af-
hicted with measles, small pox, &C.,
but once, and this railroad fever will
come on two, three, and even dozen
times. The proposition is to raise
four thousand dollars per mile as a
donation, payable as soon as the road
is completed through each county.
With this donation, it is hoped that
capitalists will take. hold and build
the road. Not being a g railroad
man." can't tell whether the pi-
talists will take hold or not. If they
will, the donation can be secured
