WINTER COVERING.

AS soon as the ground is frozen hard, your
winter covering should be put on. Cover the
entire surface of the soil-plants and all-with
straw, just sufficient to hide the plants from
sight. A heavy covering will do no good, the
object being to keep the plants from thawing
and freezing during the early part Of spring,
and to keep off the snow during the winter.
About the first of April remove the cover
ing, and cultivate your beds so as to keep
them perfectly clean. Some parties simply
uncover the plants and leave the straw be-
tween the rows but think it better and less
labor, to remove the straw entirely; for if
left on, all weeds have to be taken out by
hand.
1 have thus pointed out few facts with re-
gard to soil, AID indicated a few methods of
culture. More, much more ought to be said
in proof of the fact asserted, while the vari-
Gus modes Of culture ought to be illustrated
at greater length, and more details gone into,
Had my object been full discussion of this
subject, would have endeavored to do So
But this was not intended, nor is it desirable;
my object being simply to bring few lead
ing thoughts before the members of this soci-
ETY., and leave the filing up of the subject in
heir hands

Pennsylvania on Grant,

The Pennsylvania Republican Con

tween Grant and johnson very com
pactly in the following resolution
Resolved, That no contrast so elo.
quent could be presented as that be-
tween the loud profession of Andrew
johnson and the silent patriotism Of
Ulysses S. Grant; that, as one deals
ia promises to deceive, the other deals
in acts that convince and that, while
Mr. johnson has fallen rapidly away
from his many voluntary covenants,
Grant has accepted equal justice
and radical republicanism a part
alike Of conscience and duty"
The same convention also declared
it to be the opinion Of the Republi-
can party of the keystone State, "that
by the election of General Grant to
the Presidency all domestic dissen-
sions and factions, and all opposition
to the complete reconstruction of the
Union on the firm foundation laid by
the wise and judicious legislation of

pressed and harmony and good feel

A Lady Disgorges q Centipede
From her Stomach.

We were shown by DR. L N Bruce,
of this city, a worm of the species
known as the centiped, or "thousand
legs" which was placed in his hands
for examination by Mrs M. A. H., a
most estimable lady, of Raleigh
This worm, as it would seem, and we
cannot doubt the statement of Mrs.
e., was elected from her stomach the
day before it was handed the doctor,
and yet more singular, some three
weeks previous she disgorged some
eight or nine "batt" or earth worms,
which were also preserved and sub
mitted to the medical attendant of
the family. When shown us, the
centipede was still partially alive
that 10 to say, one part Of it was
alive, though dying by degrees, a
popularity Of that species of the
worm family, and fact which must
remove all doubts as to its being one
of any2class of worms existing in the
human system. We would also add
that the worm was submitted by DR..
Bruce to q number offellow members
of the faculty in this place, and that
no one of the number dissented from
the general opinion that it was none
other than centipede.- Memphis

The burden of Wendell Phillips
dia-tribes against General Grant is
that he is not garrulous enough
Phillips wants o candidate whose
mouth, like that of the Mississippi
River, is always open. This being
the case, it is strange he is. not more
in love with the present occupant Of
the Executive chair; for in respect to
CAB he is q man after Phillips own
heart. johnson is always cooked
and primed to fire off q speech; al
ways ready to explain his "policy;'
never ceases telling people what he
thinks and what he don'tthink about
everybody and everything. He is
as ready in season and out Of season
to talk, blow, gas, scold, denounce
and vituperate as Phillips himself
But Phillips wants to add Grant to
make the loquacious duett, and make
q windbag Of him; but all the people
demur. They prefer actions with
reticence to garrulous promises and

Seymour's Speech.

Gov. Horatio Seymour, BY all odds,
the ablest man in the democratic
party, threw the following hot shot
into Pendletonism atthe Copperhead

call the special attention Of honest
war democrats to the extract, which
however, long, is well worthy oftheir
perusual:
"While, on the one hand, the op-
pressive Legislation which burdens the
West with high tariffs, together with
the fact that the revenues drawn
from all sections are mainly paid ont

other hand, the bonds, 60 uDwisely,
