Wryr A SQUtRREL Drp.--A gentlemen from
New1ly treated US the other day to some walnuts,
which we should perhaps have refused, on the
principle that the receiver is as bad as the thief
hal we known where they we're obtained before it
was too late. Tncy we're part OF the store Of a
striped squirrel, which he had laid up in a hollow
tree. There were in all five QUARTS which he had
carried up one by one, from tree an eighth Of a
mile distant. The hole run into the tree in a
horizontal direction, that its capacity would
have been very small, as the nuts would have
rolled out without some modification in its arrange
ment which Mr.. Bunny proceeded to make with
a good deal Of architectural skill, his movements
being watched daily by our informant He first
built up breastwork of clay, sticks, nutshells and
other rubbish at the mouth OF his magazine, an
inch or two high, and then filled it up with his
provisions, til It would hold no more. He then
al led another course Of mason work, aud anoth-
er deposit of nuts, and on, till at the time Of
the vandirs raid on the little fellows commssariat
the wall was about a foot high. The speculation
was considered ustifible on the ground that man
was created lord over all the beasts OF the field,
anl that it was no worse to make a squirrel work
for him than TO make a horse or an OK do it. Be-
sides, our friend kindly gave the four-legged slave
hia tune for the rest Of the season, and in d week
or Two lac laid in a new supply for himself or fam-

CrTNG Hay EARLY.--It is now better un-
derstood than formerly that some kinds OF hay
should be cut early, especially for cows But in
the declaration Of new doctrines we are DISPOSED
90 go 10 the extreme. Because some grass cut in
June, or early july makes better hay, it is not to
be assumed that all grass will Clover, orchard
grass any timothy attain their growth and maturity
rapidly and early and very soon, il not cut lose
their good quality; aud this is so also of some
other kinds OF grass growing on rich and warm
uplanis, and on any highly cultivated land. But
there is great deal Of meadow which affords a
very superior quality Of hay though cut late in
August This is the case with much Of the bot
tom lands, or river meadows where the grass does
not attain half its growth by the fourth Of July,
and, n cut so early, would want It's superior quail
ity. u dries up rapidly, the juices being only
partially developed, and it lacks nutriment. Any
one who has had occasion to NOW a strip Of such
grass On the early part Of July and to cut the grass
adjoining this strip four weeks later, will be struck
with observing the difference, not only in quanti-
ty bu, in the quality Of the two cuttings There
IS also a good deal Of upland natural meadow, the
grass is of sow growth and late, and where the
quality OF 10 for hay improves nearly long as il
continues to grow, retaining It's COOL color and
rich aroma quite late in the season. In seasons Of
low temperature, such mea73w' will furnish an
excellent quality of hay, cut As lte as the first Of

THAT NOHTn A41Ak4OAA AH3OO0As
English monsrchisss are juhilani and san.
guine over the creation Of the Kinedom of
Canada, - though in tAat aristpcracy were
TO find lease for new life. II was said in
yesterdays foreign dispatches hat Earl
Cameron, in . speech to the House of Lords,
had prophesied grand future for this new
Kingdom. We shall see.
European monarchists are very anxious to
establish 9 regal government % the North
American Continent, alongside Of the United
States. 10 Offset the example, and inAuence of
the latter upon the world. Napoleon tired
his scheme of Imperialism in Mexico. II
signally failed. England renews the effort
on our Northern horder. She will succeed
better, but the full extent Of that success and
the consequences Of it, must await Develop
ment. The whole scheme of creating the
Kingdom of Canada has been hurriedly got>
ten up and gone through with. How far the
Canadian politicians active in the affair are
representative of the feelings and wishes Of
the people of those provinces is not known.
Some of these politicians, now busy cons
rtructing the new Kingdom, were recently
warmly in favor of annexation TO the United
States. Why this change has come over tn
spirit of their dreams gives room for specu>
laton, not for certainty.
Canada is the representative of conservs-
tism. Any attempts to infuse in it an active
political and revolutionary, or even popular
spirit, have failed. From all that appears,
the Fenians can scare II but nothing else. It
would take very calmly the rule of the House
of Hapsburg, or an Egyptian Paeha, if no
effort were made to change the instincts of
the people. This may be putting the case
rather strong. We are ready to retract when
any proof appears TO the contrary. We in
sist that it has not appeared ssy yet
This political apathy of the Canadians is,
doubtless, favorable to the success of the
monsrchical scheme. The ranks and titles
of regal rule may quiet the perturbed spirit
of any politicians that otherwise might be
political agitators. SO the new regime may
be inaugurated very quietly. We shall see.
