EARLY TOMATOES AND CUCUMBERs.-
A correspondent of the Farm and
Fireside says he gets tomatoes and
cueumbers two or three weeks earlier
than they are usually found in
Northern markets, by adopting the
following plan: Our tomato practice
is to scrape out two dozen or SO fair
sized turnips to thin shells, fill them
with rich garden mould, plant few
seeds in each, place them in box of
earth, covering quite up to the top,
place the box in q warm room Al
ter the plants are up, water when re-
quired, give light, and outdoor air
on all pleasant warm days. Select
the strongest plant in each shell to
grow, pulling out the others. Pinch
back too vigorous shoots, urge stout,
stecky growth by frequent slight
feelings of tepid sour milk-some-
times weak soap suds, and when the
frost season is fairly past, set tur-
nips shells, tomatoe plants and all in
the out door soil where they are to
grow. and they will 60 right on grow
ing, without any hesitation or stand
ing still, as they do coming from
hot bed
Cucumbers we persuade forward
in the ssme manner; planting them
in blocks of turf instead of turnips
shells, and almost always we have
tomatoes and cucumbers well set on
the vines before setting them in out
door position. Cucumhers, white,
crisp. cool. tender, almost seedless
free from all unpleasant, earthly taste,
and as delicate and delicious as tu-
cumbers can be. may be induced by
simply placing small fruit within
section Of drain tile. fower-pot, or
old bottle with the neck Knocked off.
covering them from the sunlight and
growing them to table size in the
dark"

App Rotten PorAToEs POISONOUS
To CATrLE?-In the early part OF win
tor saws John Haynes, of London
derry n. H., in the Manchester N.
HI Mirror, Mr.. Joseph Dickey, of
tbis town, lost three cows after feed
ing rotten potatoes to his cattle for
a few days. The first symptom mo-
ticed with these creatures was 9 re-
fusal to take food and drink; second
ly, to purge with some distensien Of
the abdomen, and evidently great
suffering. The first one attacked
lived about a week, and the other
two less. These creatures were
treated by a gentleman, who claims
to know something about cattle and
horses by way of his father, but with
ne effect. I am net able to state all
the different medicines tried, but
thoroughwort was given in abun-
dance, and one of them was bled
from the tail. A post mortem ex-
animation was made by the above
gentleman, who was unable to find
the cause of death, but came to the
conclusion that it was some frightful
malady, the cause of which is never
known. 1 happened to be passing
at the time the last one was skinned,
and gave hasty examination for my
own satisfaction. The brain and
spinal cord was found healthy, as
were the lungs and heart. The
stomach was found empty; the Sec
ond filled with food and perfectly
healthy; the third or manifold. was
found distended, and one-half or
more of its contents perfectly dry
and adhering to its walls, the result
of Inflammation and the cause of
death. At the time, I was of the
opinion that it might be caused by
sudden change of food, it being about
the time cattle came. to the barn.
About ten days since commenced
to feed few bushels of diseased po-
tatoes to my cow and calf and came
near meeting with the former results.
1 had fed about one peck per day for
a week when the COW refused to take
more, with all the symptoms of Mr..
Dickey's. Suspectlng at once what
the trouble was, resort was made to
the antidotes for vegeteble poisons
of that kind-linsecd oil and lime
water, one pint each night and morn
ing.
The third day about four quarts of
blood was drawn from the neck and
with decided benefit. The fourth
day improvement began to take
place, and now five days later is
quite well.
I have noticed that young cattle
do not eat so greadily of diseased
potatoes as the elder ones, especial
ly COWS. This may account for no
more of Mr.. Dickey's cattle being
poisoned which were fed with the
same.

DEATH OF GEN. A. P. Hill
The special correspondent Of the New

the works around Petersburg, Vir-

the death Of Gen. A. P. Hill, in a
letter dated May 26th.
In connection with the defense Of
Fort Gregg, I must also mention q
fact which ! learn from Gen. Malone
in regard to the death Of the distin-
guishcd Confederate corps comman-
der, A. P. Hill. Gen. Lees head
quarters were but short distance in
the rear Of Gregg, In q house on the
Boydton plank road, between the
fort and the town. At.the time Fort
Grerr ,-~s carried Gems. Hill and
DlahQpe were in conversation with
Lee at bis headquarters. Al the firing
grew nearer and nearer, Lee, intently
listening TO the sounds, suddenly
turned 70 Hill and said; "How 4
this, General, your troops are giving
way?" Upon this Hillmounted hi
horse, dashed to the front, but whil'
galloping down the road he suddenl,
came upon two men in blue uniforms
"Throw down your armsl" shoutet
the General. But the men quickl,
sprang behind q tree, and levellinI
