Editor of the Register:
have doleful and frightful dream
to relate to you. repaired to my coucl
last night as usual, with fair prospect
of sweet nights repose, but l was
sadly disappointed, for as soon as Morph'
eus would bid my eyes to close IwouId
dream the most frightful dreams, such
rs being chased by mad bulls, vicious
dogs, and the most savage beasts of the
forest, such as panthers, hyenas, wolves
lions, rhinoserhUses, &c. At length
awoke and found myself lying on my
back, which indicated to me that / was
suffering with an incubus or nightmare.
l threw myself on one side, covered up
my face, and resolved that would try
it again, hoping that all would be right.
But alas, alas so soon as my eyes were
closed, the mind, which never sleeps,
was tortured by visions of every
thing horrible. conld see in my i'm
agination, comets of fire blazing through
the air-little children suspended by
small cords over the most horrible pre-
cipices; could see volcanoes sending
forth streams of living fire from the
bowels of old mother Earth, which was
truly grand, but frightful beyond de-
scription; could see ghosts, hobgoblins,
war horses, rawheads and bloodybone es,
little-devils, and big-devils, and every
thing else which is calculated to drive
man perfectly wild. At length i again
awOke, and found my ear greeted with
the chirpings of the feathered song
sters. which indicated the near approach
of day-when the fur0re left me to a
great extent.
After taking some refreshments /
went to doctor, to see if he could tell
me what was wrong. He told me / had
the "delirium tremens." / told him it
was not so, for had not tasted 'rOt-
gut" whisky for more than month,
He then told me to go to n certain old
lady in the neighborhood and get my
dream interpreted. / Immediately
paid my visit to the lady in question,
/ told her my errand, she drew on her
''specks," counted her cards and COM
menced the Interpretation. She told
me would soon hear some very bad
news, or see some horrible sight. With
fearful anxiety wended my way home
took seat in the cool shade-picked
up newspaper, and was hOrror-strlcken
to learn that Congress ras again in ses-
sion, and that Ben. Butler and Thdd. Ster.
ems rere get liring. The old lady's pre-
diction being fully verified, and the
dream interpreted, / am happy to say
that l am myself again, and hope to
remain in stdtu-guO. YEP.

February Is the most severe month OF
the year in our northern cold attitudes,
for domestic fowls. Few people are
aware how much the prolficucy OF
gallinaceous fowls, turkeys, geese and
ducks, depends on the treatment they
receive during the month of February.
In order TO be doubly prolific the ensu-
ing season, domestic fowls must be pro-
tected from the intense cold OF February,
and we'll supplied with an abundance OF
nutritious food
Sheep that are designed for early
spring mutton should receive a liberal
allowance Of grain, or meal, daily, be.
sides roots, water and salt.
AS the water ceases to flow from
springs, in some instances, during the
cold weather, ses that domestic animals
do not suffer for want of liberal sup
ply of drink.
Almost every farmer ought to traps-
plant more fruit trees. The supply of
truit-of apples and pears--is by no
means adequate to the demand. Now
Is the time to calculate how many
more fruit trees may be transplanted
with profit Examine the fruit rec
ords, and select those varieties that
have succeeded most satisfactorily In
your locality.
In places where sugar maple trees
abound. preparations should be made
tor tapping trees and making sugar,
as soon as the cold weather Is gone.
When one has help, let one boy, or

little judicious management, hundred
dollars worth OF maple sugar may be
made with little labor,

Our Tobacco Crop

Dealers inform us that the tobacco
crop Of Montgomery county, will amount
to something like 1000 boxes of 400
pounds each, or in the neighborhood of
100000 pounds, and when put upon
the market, will put from 100000 to
$3.50, 900 in the pockets of our produ-
GERS. The crop is rather inferior, the
drought of last summer having impaired
its quality. Compared with the crop of
1868, that of 1867 is very small In
1868, our product was between $4,000
and Co. 900 cases of very superior quail
ity. That was the best year for tobacco
ever known in this valley. But even
the small crop of 1857 promises to pay
the producer handsomely. Our wheat
crop very largely exceeds that of 1866,
and promises to command very hand
some prices. The corn crop is not to
exceed three-fifths as large as that of
1866, perhaps, but the average price for
the present crop will probably produce
as much money, as the great crop of last
year.-Dayton Journal.
