Expulsion from the Va. Convention.
a. n:J ftornoon Mr. Williams Of Am

1TlOay Va $1,000
herst, a gentleman born and raised in the North,
but who refused to lend his aid to the Radical
side of the House in depriVing Virginia of the
right of suffrage, was arraigned on resolution
offered BY a person named White, and an ef-
fort made to cxpel him, simply because he
refused to vote on proposition to disiranchl.e
all Confederate officers above the rank of first
lieutenant in the army, and master IN the
navy, Mr.. Williams gave his reason for not
voting. and it was, that he believed, in his in
most soul, if he voted on this question he
would be guilty of perjury. The resolution to
expel him was tabled by vote OF IS to 49,
Not satisfied with this expression OF the SEN
timent of the House on Friday, White intro
duced, on Saturday, another resolution IN re-
ference to the case of Mr.. Williams, charging
that he had "gravelyinsuted the Convention
and asking for the appointment of committee
of seven to investigate the case. And now comes
the interesting part OF the proceedings.
When the name of Mr.. Liggett, of Rocking
ham. was called on to vote on this resolution,
he arose in his seat, and refused to vote be-
cause he tcIt contempt and disgust for the
proposition.' Mr.. Williams was forgotten.
Here was another vctim-one who had been
thorn in the sides of Radicals from the COM
mencement of the session. He was immediate
ly. bounced upon. The call of the roll was sus-
pended, and the Unsuitable parSon--W hlte
forthwith drew up and presented resolu,
ton for his expulsion. Somebody insisted
that the proceedings were irregular-the offend
ing member should be tried-have an opportu-
nifty of defending himself. A Conservative
member suggested that he might probably wish
to offer some explanation or apology. This
suggestion was put at rest by the expression,
on Mr.. Liggett's part, Of supreme contempt
for the whole establishment y The vote
went on and he was expelled He is the first
victim who has been honoreo by the application
of the guillotinc. He is relieved from further
participation in the melancholy farce that IS
being enacted in the capitol. -R'chnond

of the spectators were incredulous, while others
were panic stricken and fed. In q moment the
doubters saw q bear come out of the ruins and
start up Mercer street, TO Houston, through
Houston to Broadway, and down Broadway to
the Metropolitan Hotel. He was pursued by
large crowd, who hooted and threw snow balls
at the terrified beast. Stopping st the Metro
politan, the bear made two efforts to gain an
entrance. but was unsuccessful. The crowd
continued hooting and yelling, andt the bear re-.
sunned his course down Broadway. Turning

STRAWBERRIES AND AsPARAGUs.-The Brat
tleborO Ph9n'r, has a correspondent at Helms
dale, n. II. who last week wrote as follows
1t seems worthy of remark that quite a
number OF our people are engaged, though
not extensively, in the culture of strawberries.
Some nice 10 of these have been sent the
present season to our stores. Some of extra
size raised near our village, after being sliced
or quartered and treated to sugar and cream.
have not been rejected by some of the best OF
citizens. In fact they were rather liked.
Or. Martin has exhibited some of his own
raising of the AgrIculturist - variety, re-
ma. bile for size, f,vor and peculiar shape.
n this respect, they much resemble broad
md heavy coxscomb. They were 50 easy to
take The same gentleman has in his gar
len, an asparagus patch which presents a
fine appearance. His method of cultivating it
being somewhat novel, we propose to give a
short desert ptIon of it. In the fall he sets
the plants. grown from seed sown in the
spring, IN hills three feet apart each way,
first spadlng the ground deeply and mixing
with it liberal sup ly of ashes and other
fertilizers When heavy frosts comes on, the
plants should be covered with about six inches
Of earth, and they never fail to 90 safely
through the severest winters. The subse-
quent treatment is thorough cultivation,
nilling up each plant and keeping the surface
strewed with ashes The third spring from
the sowing of the seed, several cuttings may
be made from each plant, and the crop will
grow more bOuntiful from year to year for
many years. An esculent so valuble, protita-
Die and palatable deserves better treatment
chan it generally receives. 9 Uncle John -
If Il. knows great deal about the cultivation
Of this article, but his laurels so justly won
are bound to fade unless he adopts the i'm
proved way Of cultivating it We would
like also to tell the readers of the Ph9nir the
Or. e new me bod of raising horse-radish. 1t
is al ogether superior to the old method OF
setting the tops He simply takes slips of
the roots from to inches in length and
about half an inch in diameter, and inserts
them in good rich soil, so deeply that the
oops will be covered about two inches They
will soon sprout, and if well cultivated will
grow to large and solid roots before winter
let's in. They may be gathered in the fall
and placed in boxes of dirt in the cellar, or
eft in the ground until spring. The roots
should not be left grow the second season
but slips should be set every spring. 1t is a
profitable crop raised in this way. We com
mend the process to - Uncle John . and to
gardeners generally.

"No; though they say the worm comes
from a miller"
eyes, little moth or miller lays her eggs
in the calyx, or blossom end Of the y ing ap-
pie. Just it i. beginning to grow, and from
that egg the worm matches which troubles
the ap l, SO badly. After this worm Is
grown to its full size, it changes to a chrysa-
lis, in which form it remains through the
winter, and from which the moth comes the
next spring, and lays its eggs again for some
more apl le-worms. The scient nc name OF
this insect is CarpOcap,a pomoneild, and its
common name is the apple-wOrm.
:. But | don't see where the 'ology comes
in.''
Yes, you can ; for the science that treats
of insects is termed Entomology. So there's
another 'ology, in which you, in common
with all other farmers, are deeply interested. =
Your doing well; go on
Well, let's go into the subject little
deeper. What's the soil of your FARM
loan in the low ground and fats.
- Any sand or clay?''
= Yes there's a sand bed, and quite clay
bank over In the corner. There was a brick
kiln down there good many years ago
Any large stone ~
81 Some bOulders-granitc and the lodges
crop out little over one corner of the pas
ture Il y
Very we'll there's another 'ology- Geol-
OgY: which treats of the formation and struc-
ture of the eaIt and of what it is composed >
Well, I'll give up. Looks little stormy
out, don't it ~
What makes you think SOP
- Because there's heavy rain-clouds rolling
in from the water, and the wind is out strong
:. L hats another 'ology-Meteroiogy
which is the science that treats of the weather
md the condition of the atmosphere science
with which every farmer is more OF less prac-
tically acquainted. These are only few OF
the 'ologies in which every farmer is directly
Interested and the principles of which SO
frequently brought into his everyday prac-
tIce. It's no use, Smith, for you to be down
the 'ologies >
. an you name anothes -
- Certainly Thoro', PhySlOL0gy. both ami
NAL and vegetable; the former trea ing OF
everything that relates to animals, and the
latter of plants. So you see it is absolutely
necessary for farmer to know something
about this 'ology. The sciences are intimate
iy connected with the farmers operations al
every stepOf his progress, and he is not a
wise man who persistently opposes whatever
10 him seems to smack of science, or is com
pretended under the heading of an 'ology.'
