The Dutchmans Trick.

While Dutcbman was passing through
a city in Vermont, a Yankee came up to
him and said:
"Shon, if you trea; to cider, I will learn
you trick"
Shon agreed. Yan1 then placed his hand
against fence and told PIN to etrike it as
hard as he could. Shon, not thinking that
any harm could befall him by doing 80,
struck blacksmith's blow, but instead of
hitting Yank's hand. the latter jerking it
away, poor Shon struck the fence board,
knocking it of.
"Mein Colt in himmeI p cried Shon,
what you makes foolish 1 knock mine
hand off clean up to the elbow Oh,
SOcker blitz my poor frau, what will she
say ?'
Poor Shon was bound to have revenge
50 one day. as he was passing through a
field, he espied man. Going up to him,
he said :
"Mynheer, show you Won leetlo trick
for nodding."
As there was no fence or tree near. Shou
put his hand against his mouth and said,
"Strike yust SO hard as you can
Mynheer struck, and Shon pulled away
his hand and received the blow on his
mouth, and was knocked down. Shon
jumped up, his mouth bleeding. and com.
mcnced dancing with pain.

A small quantity of alcohol is formed dur
ing the fermentation, and this prevents the
acetus fermentation so common to spruce
beer. The essence Of spruce is of course
left out in the making of mead. The alco-
hol formed from the fermentation Of honey
resembles that found in metheglin. while
this alcohol formed from the fermentation Of
molasses is rum.

We recommend the following as eminent

this meridian as well as any other:
Whatever patronage may be accorded to
city journals, whether on account of their
cheapness or the general" news they con
tain, the importance Of sustaining "home
papers" should not be overlooked. AS the
medium for local transactions, and for fur
thering some interests, their value can
hardly be overestimated. The following
article, from the Cleveland Herald, presents
the question in its true light owe know
Of nothing that is more disheartening to
publisher of country newspaper than to
be told, as he often is, when soliciting sub
scribers i feel too poor to take your pa
per, take the Herald Tor some other huge
foreign weekly,) aud it only costs me
two dollars year, ana contains twice
as much reading as yours does
when the receipts of one week Of tho office
named above would be double the yearly
receipts Of his country paper and when, if
the foreign paper were published seventy
years, it would not result in as much ben-
eft to himself and country in which he
lives as would single weeks edition Of
his own country paper, Recollect, if a
home paper is TO be supported, home iudu-
ence must do it. Every dollar sent to the
Eastern paper is at the expense Of the local
paper A county acquires prominence
through ils PAPER more than any other way,
and to every one who has his county inter
ssts at stake, his home paper is a necessity.
Never will such man take paper printed
away from his home until he is able to take
a second paper. HIS first will be his home

that the com crop is as good now in all
parts Of the county as ever2 In parts Of
New England it has been better for The last
tel years, aud the quality is fully as good
now as it ever was, but this is not true of
other grain. This is because more care
has been taken in saving and preparing the
seed for our corn fields, or rather because
we have been able to select tie largest, ear
liest ripened, and plumpest kernels for seed.
