Natural CuriOsitIes.

AMONG the natural curiosties of the
Black Hills the most prominent and at
tractive is the Fortress of Rocks situated
about three miles southeast of Sherman.
This fortress encloses, in circular form
about five acres of ground, and its outer
walls are built of solid rock, having regu-
larly shaped port holes at equi-distant
places. The inner walls are composed OF
shelving rock which rises to the height
of twenty feet, and the grounds on the
inside have their tent-shaped cayerns, par.
titioned rocks and parapets. Outside Of
the walls isan impossible barricade formed
by the fallen trees, and so complete in en-
tire structure in all the requisite forms OF
a fortress, that the first sight of it would
convince any man that it had been pur-
posely designed and built for an impreg-
nable fort, which all the cannonading OF
the heaviest artillery could not demol-
ish. -
To the northwest of Sherman is the
Wall of Rocks which extend in length
over two miles, and reach in heighth over
seven hundred feet. Their color at the
base is dark brown, changing in hue as
it ascends the top until it reaches light
grey. At different places on the top OF
this wall are large boulders, pyramidal
spherical and triangular, many feet in
heighth, standing solitary and alone as
immovable sentinels, and on the further end
half reclining over the wall is a globula1
rock hundreds of tons in weight, apparent
ly ready to fall, and which in the distance
is very apt resemblance of the picture
of the world being borne on the shoulders
of the Atlas.
Rocks in the shape of turtles, monu.
ments, inverted elephant legs, with exact
shape of their feet, may be seen standing
all alone in different places on the prairies
and in short almost every species of sculp-
tural work may find very pleasing coun-
.terpart among the numberless rock curl
osities of these wonderful hills.-C0

For heavy work, always feed corn to
horses. Where you wish them to be
sprightly and lively, feed them oats. It's
not always safe to allow all horses to 'feel
their oats" too much. The late Sir Rob-
ert Peel, one of the most eminent of Eng
lish statesmen, lost his life by riding a
fractions horse, which his groom had neg
lected to fill up with water before his mas
ter rode him, as he had been ordered. Sir
Robert was consequently thrown off and
killed. A horse that has couple of buck,
cts of water in him just before being driven
or rode out is not SO wild and frisky as one
that rs empty That much water is heavy,
and keeps him quiet, and compels his good
behavior. Exchange.

"A little girl named Spencer, in Black
Hawk county, Iowa, was killed in queer
way the other day. She had been placed
upon horse to take to water, and was
given the strap of another to lead, which
she secured by tying around her right
arm. Some colts suddenly coming up be-
hind scared the horses, and before aid
could be given her she was dragged to the

manner of cultivating the cucumber was
to me somewhat novel, and it appeared to
me in some respects superior to our mode.
Instead of sowing the seed in hills, it is
sown in double rows, as peas are frequent
ly done, only at greater distance apart,
both between the rows and the plants, say
three feet between the first The vines are
supported by placing brushwood along
each row, forming an arch, over which
they may grow. The advantages this
method presents are, that the fruit is al
ways clean and straight, of a uniform
color on all sides, and can be gathered
without mourning danger of injury to the
vines by trampling on them.-Hogg's Gar

How to Build an Ice House.

A SUBSCRIBER wishes to know how to
construct an ice house that will supply
four families; whether to make above or
below ground in grove by the side of
a stream or on the open prairie, etc.
There are very few men who favor MAX
ing ice houses under ground, as it is found
that ice wastes faster from the heat deriv-
ed from the earth than that received di-
rectly from the sun. We would commend
building in the shade rather than on the
open prairie, as the air would be some
cooler. Near the stream would be con-
venient site for the building, as it would
be little trouble to put the blocks of ice
into it, and the spaces between the blocks
could then be easily filled with water and
frozen during some of the severest days OF
winter. Wood is generally regarded as
the cheapest and best material to use in
the construction of an ice house, as it is
necessary to have hollow or double wall
and filling of some non-conducting sub
stance in any case,
A building eight feet high, eight by
twelve on the ground, would doubtless be
of sufficient capacity for supplying four
families and allow one fourth Of the ice to
go to waste. ,ai an1 'es j-&.
Many persons build ice houses by plac-
ing the stills directly On the ground, but
our experience is that the ice will keep
better if the building is entirely support
ed by upright posts, which we would
prefer to have imbedded in charcoal
This allows free circulation of air under
the building, and provides for suitable
drainage. The only difference between
building an ice house and any other
building, is that it must be double build
ing-one. inside of the other-at least as
far as the walls are concerned. The space
between the walls will depend upon the
efficiency of the non conductor used for
filling; if it is to be pulverized charcoal,
six inches would be sufficient; but if saw
dust or spent tan bark is to be the ma
terial, then foot would be the proper dis
lance. The floor may be made double
like the wall, Or single floor will answer
if there are several inches of straw put I'M
der the ice. The roof is sometimes made
double like the wall, but it is cheaper
plan to make floor across from the caves,
which may be covered on the top with
loose saw dust. If this plan be adopted,
the walls of the gable ends may be single,
and door can be cut through one of them
and through the floor across the caves,
through which the ice can be passed into
the building. 1t is well to divide off few
feet on each end of the building for cool
ing room for milk or for keeping fresh
meat and vegetables. The doors leading
into and out of this room should be double
like the walls, and may be either fitted
with heavy hinges or made to slide. An
ice house should be opened but once
a day, which should be as early in the
morning as possible: and if several fami
lies use from the same, they should unite
on a time in the morning when they will
get their supply.-Prair6e Farmer.

MARKET.

Office Chicago Journal Commerce & Price Current I
June 10th, 1858. !
DRY GOODS.-There has been no feature Of
special interest to report in the Dry Goods market
since the date Of our last. The trade has been Ian
guild, and prices have ruled weak and sOmeWhat
lower for some makes of Domestics, especially
Brown and Bleaehed Sheetings and Shirtings, and
Denims and Tiekings. The decline in prices has
not increased the volume of business to any extent,
as no concessions in prices can tempt buyers to pur-
chase beyond the sxtent of their immediate wants.
The quantity Of goods sold this spring has beenu nu-
sually small, owing, to q great extent, to the back
Wardness of the season, and partly to other causes
no less apparent. All are, however, looking to the
fall trade for compensation for this disappointment,
and If the crops should turn out as bOuntiful as they
promise, q large and satisfactory trade must be the
result.
Prints in light styles are moving slowly into con-
sumption. and the demand continues limited large
patterns are dificultto sell unless alta reduction in
prices. Medium work il scarce, and some agents are
ton at the close is dull and a shade lower, selling at
SOC for Middling Upiands.
The New York Chronicle in commenting upon the
market says.
We p~receive by the latest advices from England
that the same depression exists in the manufacturing
districts there, and that many mills are working on
short time in order to reduce production. Such &
course has been propRsed here but no concerted ac-
tion has been arrived at in the matter as il is gen.
orally believed that such stringent measures are IN
necessary. Nevertheless, there is no doubt but that
the usual stoppage ofsome mills at this season of the
year, for cleaning and repairs, will be prolonged be-
You'd the average period, so as not to oyeTstOck the
market at the commencement of the fall campaign.
