COUNTY PoLITIcs.-'' Buzzing' and prelimi-
nary arrangements for the approaching cam
paign have commenced in earnest with both par
ties. We have been intending for two or three
weeks past to furnish list of asprants for coun-
ty positions. but they are increasing so rapidly
that we have determined to wait a month longer
and then devote a column exclusively to that
purpose. Many suggestions as to the manner of
conducting the campaign, SO far as the Union
party is concerned, have been submitted to US
One is that the Union Central Committee name
the officers to preside at primary meetings in the
various precincts. Those who argue this course
think that much Of the contention and bitterness
too frequently witnessed at primaries might
thereby be done away with. Another PROPOSE
ton is this As the primary meetings draw near
the Central Committee shall announce the names
of candidates for county position, and that the
voters in the several precincts vote directly for
their favorite candidates for each position, thus
doing away with the necessity of holdings coun-
ty Convention. The vote of each precinct to be
forwarded to the Central Committee, who will
canvass it and announce the ticket so selected
for county officers. Union men who desire to
express an opinion in this matter can have the
use of the JOURNAL columns to do SO.

FAILURE OF THE MILITARY BnL.-The Heuse

lately rebellious States, after being amended in

end all efforts at reconstruction this session fo-
the committee of Conference would not retnrr
their agreement, if they could agree, until too
late for 1t to become law before the 4tb instant
So far as we can learn, the bill was precisely
what is required for the present emergency and

KENTUCKY DIssESTs.-Kentucky through one
branch Of her Legislature, objects to the militia
rv reconstruction of the South. Had Missouri
or Maryland protested against the passage of the
bill, they have claimed and obtained respectful
hearing, but Kentucky will not secure even that.
A State whose sympathies were always with reb-
els, though pretending loyalty, she has forfeited
the respect of loyal people, and the faith of the
disloyal as even the latter could only depend on
her assistance while they occupied her SOIL
Her Governor is ever halting between two opin-
ions, and is particularly hostile toward all at
tempts at amending the Constitution. Her peo-
pie are ten years behind the times, and little heed
will be paid their requests until they toss over
board those political incendiaries, Bramlette Da-

gentleman who has been prominently identified
with San Francisco politics for many years, is
prominently mentioned for the Lieutenant-Gov

That,s YeryOdd.

A gentleman was recounting his travels
one evening, after dinner, to friend, and
commenced in this way:
"When was travelling in Russia I was
attacked in crossing forest by pack of
twelve wolves, and from my postchaise
window fired my revolver and killed the
first wolf, and strange to say, his compan-
ions stopped and Gevoured him, and then
came on again to the fight. l shot another
and my position killed q third, both of
which were devoured, and SO We went on
until only one wolf remained, and killed
him as We were entering the town, and l
observed that he was immensely fat. He, of
course, had devoured all his companions"
Dear me-" said the friend, '.that's very
odd" ...-.1s. '...a
"Very odd" said the traveller; shut not
nearly so odd as that which happened on
the following day. was out shooting an
telopes, and fired at one as he stood on the
top of crag, and odd to say, the ball passed
through his neck and killed another which
was standing on crag quarter of mile
off, -rr '-,
"That's very odd" said the friend.
"Yes; but the odd part of the story is to
come The report of my rifle so alarmed an
old he bear which happened to be in a tree,
that he fell to the ground, broke his neck,
and died on the spot" .s.sl-.. .t.
SWELL" said the friend, "upon my soul,
that's very odd" .ri's ~. ~.
"Yes, odd" said the traveller; "but not
so odd as the sequel to my story: A thun-
derstorm came on, and sought refuge in a
hollow tree, and, to my horror, descended
into nest of young bears, where had not
been very long when heard strange tap
ping-the unmistakable signs of the she
bear. She assembled the tree and was de-
scending the hollow. With the rapidity OF
lightning seized her by the tail and plung-
ed my hunting knife into her launches,
upon which she started upward, dragging
me with her, and as she went down on one
! side of the tree escaped by the other"
+ "Now, really, that's very odd, said the
friend, 'for it's the first slime in my life !
ever heard of a bear with tail"

the only time ever met with one, and that's

Amount of Lime Required for DIFF.
fcrent CrOps.


Chemistry has proven that lime acts both
as manure and also in mechanical man
ner. 1t not only enters into the circulation
of plants as q manure, but also loosens tho
SOIL
In the application of lime, it is important
to know what crop or crops require the most,
and are consequently the most benefited by
it.. .A.''
It has. been calculated that a rotation of
five years, (corn, oats, wheat, and grass for
hay,) removes from the soil 242 pounds of
pure lime which is equivalent to about 430
pounds of Stacked lime in the form in which
it is usually applied. But these different
crops contain lime in very different propor-
tons. Thus, an acre of corn, say so bushels,
contains of lime in the grain IA pounds, in
the stalk and leaves 80 pounds; oats 40
bushels per acre, contains in the grain Sc
and in the straw 1873 pounds of lime 25
bushels of wheat per acre will remove int the
grain "a, and in the straw 1917 pounds Of
lime, two crops of grass will each removc
140 pounds of lime per acre. h.i
. A crop of turnips will remove from the
soil lao pounds of lime to every acre; while
the same area in potatoes will lose 27O
pounds, of which 25o is in the tops, which
are seldom removed from the soil. e'll
Thus we see why lime is more beneficial
to some crops than to Others KIP 'ia
From this we see why lime is 80 beneficial
to clover and other grasses. -3 oa
But this is not the only manner in which
lime acts it also affects the vegetable SUBJ
stances with which it meets in the soil, and
fits them for plant food. . l.4 'sa-
But you will say that have not accounted
for near all the lime which we apply to our
soils. This is true, for not more than one
twentieth of 1t enters into the circulation Of
the plants, and not more than four-twen-
tie.hs are consumed by the organic matter
in the soil, leaving three fourths OF thu
amount to be accounted for in other ways.
All know the tendency which lime has to
sink into the soil, and in this manner
large portion Especially if plowed in) gets
below tine plow, and is useless for want of
the presence of air. .' ..' hs"
Would it then not be more economical to
apply the lime at shorter periods and in
smaller quantities A7
Will not some of your many able agricul.
tural correspondents answer this question.
1t will doubtless oblige many beside myself.

How TO GET AN EDUoATIoN.- say
to men, ave want an education but We
are poor, and father is poor, aud we can't
get it; so we are going to learn q trade, or
go into a store, or do something else"
Now let me say, every boy that wants an
education, if he will bend his force to it,
can get just as good a one as he wants.
The way is open. Education does not
come through academies, and colleges, aud
seminaries; these are helps; but it comes by
study and reading, and comparing, and all
the schools, and colleges and seminaries in
the world will not make scholar of man
without these (; and with them man will be
one if he never sees college. And what is
true of boys is true of girls, and what is true
of this pursuit is true of any other. The
force must be from yourself, and you must
deveiop;.. Ii is that indomitable ~ can,
that sets man astride the world. @.

A Ieattlesnn1ke Bx pressed TO EastOn
The Easton Sentinel says "On Monday
morning last there was quite commotion
in the Howard Express office, opposite this
Office, on Third street, in this borough,
caused by a large rattesnake making his
appearance in the midst of the clerks and
attaches of that establishment.
ut appears that a box was received at the
Office on the 4th inst, from Pittston, Luzerne
county, directed to S. o. Cartlyon, Easton,
way billed as merchandise and marked C..
o. d. The box was not called for and no
one about the establishment knowing any
person by that name in Easton, it was al
lowed to remain in the'ofiice until Monday
morning, when it was remarked that rather
an unpleasant odor came from the box. Mr..
Higgins, the agent at this place, requested
George Chamberlain, one of the drivers, to
open the box and see what offensive matter
it contained. Chamberlain at once turned
the box over and stepped to the rear of the
Office to get hatchet, and when he re-
turned he discovered his snakeship crawl
lug on the floor, he having made his exit
through knot hole in the box, from
which the knot had fallen when the box
was turned over. The alarm was given and
an indiscriminate stampede followed-some
mounted the counter and Others perched
! themselves on top of boxes, out of the reach
of the reptile. Mr.. Higgins drew revolver
and commenced firing on the enemy; the
second shot took effect and made the var
mint feel uncomfortable, causing him to
spring his rattles and show fight. About
this time Mr.. Chamberlain struck him with
heavy bar of iron, which knocked the life
out of him and ended the fight. He was an
ugly customer, being about four feet long
and had several rattles, which, according to
snakeology, indicsted-his age to be nine
years. The hole in the box was at once
plugged up and the package removed from
the Office. The agent at Pittston was at
once telegraphed concerning the matter,
who replied that the box contained ten large
rattlesnakes, and were intended for a snake
charmer,' who had contracted for them
The box was taken to the river in the after
noon, and after giving it and its contents a
good soaking, it was opened and the balance
of the 'rattlers,' ninein number, disposed of.

think we should care abou. carrying much

INsEoTs.--The predatory insects which
are so destructive to the orchard and garden
should now be assailed with every weapon
of defence and offence. The tent-caterpil-
lars nest should be collected and destroyed.
The cozens picked out of their lurking
places in the trunks of the apple, tie peach
and the ounce. The cocoons of the apple
moths searched for in the crevces of the
bark of the trees and other suspected places.
Bark Lice overwhelmed in deluges of strong
lye, soda solutions or soap suds the ourcu-
lios Jared from the plum trees; the pear and
cherry slugs busted off the foliage with dry
ashes, or any other kind of dust. If the
canker worms have evaded all the "tree
protectors" and reached the leaves, plenti-
full busting with dry ashes, applied while
the dew is on, will dislodge them. The
flea beetle and striped bug may receive
their guietus by the introduction of few
small chickens among the plants which
they infest. - ..r..-

Strawberries-Inquiry.

FRIEND FREAs,-Will you oblige an anna
teur farmer with little information in re-
gard to the cultivation of strawberries l
have bed Of the Agriculturist variety, and
they have some very fine berries on, but they
have commenced running very much. Now,
while need the runners to increase the bed !,
am afraid they take the strength away
from the vine and reduce the size of the ber-
ry, and do not know whether it is better
to pull them off or not, as have no expe-
rience with them. Again, the leaves are so
abundant that the sun has very little chance
to get at the berries, and have been tempt
ed to pull them off on several occasions, but
not knowing what effect it would have on
the plant, desisted.
Will you also tell me which are the best
runners to increase with, as notice some Of
them set out last year have no berries on
this, nor any signs of having any
REpLY.--An strawberries will run if al
lowed to do so.. When they are planted in
hills and wish to be SO continued, the runners
must be cut off, Some growers prefer hills,
others full beds, allowing the vines to run at
pleasure. The runners do not affect tho
strength of the main plant, as they soon
take root and set up for themselves The
leaves will not interfere with the ripening of
the fruit and should not be removed. Plants
set out in the spring ought to give half a
crop the ensuing season. Those set on. in
the fall rarely produce any worth mention
ing. If our inquirer wishes to have a bed
Of broadcast" strawberries-tha is not in
hills-he must let the runners alone. If hills
they must be removed by cutting, not pull
ing. 1t is as easy to raise bed of straw
berries as it is bed of onions. Sometimes,
owing to the location of the bed, the condi-
ton of the soil, or a very moist winter, the
crop may fail-so may any other crop. But
we must, in such event, pick our fints and
try again. Ed. Germantoion Telegraph.
