GRAY Squirrels i'm Ohio.

The Cincinnati Enquirer sans - The
one leading sport ofthe forest.in Ohio,is the
pursuit of the common gray squirrel, which
in the more densely wooded districts of the
state, is, at this juncture a terrible pest to
the farmer, who seeks,b many cunning in
ventions, to bring poor bum to grief, and
very often successfully.
At this season of the year, just when the
east heginS tn Light mp w'th tho e-;'-.so..
and purple twilight. the squirrel leaves his
cozy home in the hollow branch of some
tall oak or beech, and visits the nearest
cornfield in search of his breakfast. His
first object is to find a hill of corn which is
Just peering through the ground, which he
proceeds to dig up very deftly with his
paws, and then eats the kernel. This op-
Grafton he repeats until his appetite is
satisfied, which generally requires from
fifteen to twenty hills. Often. at the hour
of sunrise, as high as thirty squirrels may
be seen in five-acre lot, emulating each
other in gormandizing. and, as a conse-
quence, it is no wonder that the farmer
wages unreenting warfare upon him, nur-
dering him in deadfalls, snares, with shot
guns, and ometimes-horrible to relate
with arsenicum infused into shelled corn
Other men generously believing that the
world is wide, scatter bountiful supply of
corn around their corn field, fences, and the
chattering little sprite of the forest gener-
ally pays them the compliment of refrain
lug from pulling up their growing crop
At any hour from eight to eleven in the
forenoon. and from three to six in the af-
ternoon of these fine DAYS, if you will 90
into the woods, you will find the young
squirrels gambolling and disporting them
selves among the branches and sprays of
the trees, or skipping over the messy
trunks that have lain PROSTATE for genera
tions, and a skilful sportsma, will capture
a brood of four or six of them without
frightening them into their nests. And
then what is a more dainty dish than
young squirrels the exception of
frogs in the early part of June The
brood is seldom, if ever, less than two, and

Acres of Roses

Mr.. Blunt. the british yice-consul at
Adrianople, in his report to the foreign
Office this year, gives an account of the
rose fields of Adrianople, extending over
$4,000 or $4,000 acres supplying the most
important source of wealth in the district.
The season for picking the roses is from
the latter part of April to the early part
of June; and at sunrise the plains look
like vast garden full of life and fragrance,
with hundreds of Bulgarian boys and girls
gathering the flowers into baskets and
sacks, the air impregnated with the de-
licious scent, and the scene enlivened by
songs, dances and music.
1t is estimated that the rose districts Of
Adrianople produced in the season of
1866 about 100000 miscals of altar of
roses (the miscal being one and a half
drachms) the price averaging little more
than 3s. sterling per misca. IF the spring
is cool and there are copious falls of dew
and occasional showers, the crops prosper.
and an abundant yield of oil is secured.
The season in 1866 was so favorable that
eight cakes of petals Gess than % pounds, }
and in some seven okes yielded a miscal OF

takes double that quant;ty Of petals. The

The oil is extracted from the petals by
the ordinary process of distillation. The
altar is brought up for foreign markets, to
which it passes through Constantinope and
Smyrna, whe re it is generally despatched to
undergo the p rocess of adulteration with
sandal wood and other oils. 1t is said that
in London the Adrianople altar finds a

when it is genuine.

Another Mineral Spring.

MR. EDITOR will you allow me through
your columns, to call the attention of the
people to the . Green Mountain Spring
situated on the road leading from Watervile
to Bakersfield, and near the summit of the
mountain.
This spring has long been known by a few
to be mineral; but has not until recently
been called into general notice. 1t is now
nicely fitted up for the convenience OF those
coming to test its medicinal properties, and
it has many visitors daily The waters of
this spring are very cool and refreshing 1t
is situated but few yards from the main
travelled road, SO that it is easy of access 1t
is also surrounded with one of the most pic
turesque sceneries which this country afford.
But short distance from the spring, you
may have have an excellent view of Mount
Mansfield of Lake Champlain and its sur
roundings; and it is said that with a good
glass a tolerable view may be had of the city
of Montreal.
But right around the spring. you may look
upon the everlasting hills and mountains
which God has made. and those mammoth
--.~I-- --l;-L fo-- si-e>.S,-..i yUaro ago were
the heart of the earth; but when the foun-
tains of the great deep were broken up were
thrown to the surface, and left in grand and
awful shape to excite the wonder and admi-
ration of gazing world, and to provoke in
them disposition to fear God and keep his
commandments.
Thus we believe, to say nothing of the med
icinal properties of the spring, there is
enough to amply pay the lover of nature for
a visit SO this spot. Are you thirsty? you
may drink of as good and refreshing water as
ever gurgled from the mountain side. Are
you weary you may find palce Of repose
beneath the shallow of great rock. And
when you are rested you may climb the hill
side and look upon the surrounding country,
and at the same time be famed with the
mountain breezes which are always so bra
cling, and SO needful especially for those of
sedentary habits.
Como then and enjoy the scenery, and test
the waters of the Green Mountain Spring, ,and
come now, for now it is free. A. S.

The JEWISH SABBATH.-It is unlawful
TO ride on horseback or in a carriage-to
walk more than mile from their dwelling
TO transact business of any kind-to
meddle with any tool-to write-to play
upon any musical instrumcnt-to bathe-
comb the hair-and even TO carry pin in
their clothes which is unnecessary. These
and great many others, are complied
with by the most rigid. There is one
command in the law of Moses to which all
Jews most scrupulously adhere: Ye
shall kindle no fire throughout your habi-
tations upon the Sabbath" (Exod. xxxv:
- Consequently, they never light FIRE.
or lamp, or candle, on the Sabbath
day, nor eat food prepared on that day-all
must be done on Friday. As it is i'm
possible to spend the Sabbath in cold eli
mates without fire or light, the Jewish
families who keep servants make it point
to have Gentle in their service to do
these things and among the humber class
es number of families generally unite in
securing the services of Gentle neighbor
for the day.
Nothing could wound the conscience of
a Jew more than to be under the necessity
of putting fuel on the fire, or snufing his
candles on the Sabbath-The British

asked if he could not take little "good

demanded the West Indian.

How Spiders Begin Their Webs.

Early in the Spring of 1866, while ar
rangements were making for photograph
ing live male of the Nephila Elumipes
(the so-called " Silk Spider of South Car
olina'O the spider, after several times
traversing the circle of wire on which it
was, suddenly stopped, took firm position
at the top of the frame and lifted the ab-
domen, pointing it towards a large sky
light which occupied the middle of the
ceiling a slender, shining thread was seen
to shoot forth from the spinneretS which
occupy the end of the abdomen it seemed
to have a blunt, rounded extremity, which
advanced through the air rather quickly
for a few inches, but afterwards more
slowly and steadily, and with an upward
tendency, but always in the direction of
the skvlight. When it had reached the
length of five or six feet, | allowed it to
become attached to my coat: the. issue
ceased at once and the spider, having at
tached the end of the line, turned about
and began to pull upon it. | now broke
1t off near the wire, and, believing that
there was current of air toward the sky
light, blew gently upon the spider from
various directions, and found that it al
ways pointed her abdomen in the direc-
tion in which [ blew, and that the thread
was emitted in the same direction So
that while it seemed to have the power of
projecting thread for short distance,
yet it always avaiIed itself of the prevail
ing current of air. This single instance
by no means proves that all spiders do or
can employ this method of bridging over
spaces, and it may be that on ordinary oc-
casions they do, as every one has seen
them. descend to the ground emitting the
thread they advance, and pulling in the
slack before attaching it to the desired
point But the former method enables
them TO cross water and to pass from tree
to tree; while the well known buoyancy
of the silk permits them tor at least the
smaller species.) to sail along on water.
