a Singular Fact.

The peach was originally poisoned al
mond. It's feshy parts were used to poison
grows, and the fruit was for this purpose
introduced into Persia. The transportation
and cultivation, however, not only remov-
ed its poisonous qualities, but produced the
delicious fruit we now enjoy.
We take the above from the Waverly
Magazine of the 3Oth of January, 1862
We had often heard it said that planting
peach-stone on this island would produce
the almond. such as may be seen in the
custom house grounds. on this island, and
in several of the yards occupied by citizens,
We are willing to be qualified on oath
that some eighteen months ago we planted
two peach stones as an experiment for rails
ing the peach on this island we now have
in lieu ofthe peach, the coarse maidstone al
mond similar to those above mentioned
We are not aware of any poisonous quail
ties in this almond, although we have heard
of children having died from the effects of
eating them, which might have occurred
from eating almost any other green fruit
in excess. We have eaten the fruit our
selves without ever having been poisone'.
Can any of our friends throw light upon
the subject Key Hest Dispatch.

Useful Information.


The Petersburg (Ya.) Lader has learned
in a conversation with an old gentleman of
that city. that for several years past he has
kept his house free from cockroaohes and
other vermin, by tbs use of Epson Salts,
Scattered freely near the holes through
which they enter, these ugly visitants will
seek their homes, and assures US also, that
a strong solution of salts, applied external
ly to horses. will save themrfrom annoyance
by flies and that where mirrors. picture
frames, etc, have been rubbed with the So
luton, the flies will refuse to light.
AS a preventive against bed bugs or
feas the same remedy will be found a great
service, but more effectual one is the r.
Gently discovered carbolic acid or carbolic
soap. Animals washed with this solution
will be forever free from insects.
Perpetual freedom from rats and mice
may slso be obtained by the use of this car
bolic acid or soap but as this is not al
ways at hand. our old friend assures US that
kerosine oil poured into rat holes. or rags
saturated with kerosene, will Danish rats
and mice eGeetualy.
He has used these antidotes for years.
and is fully convinced of their value They
are, at least, simple and cheap, and may
be tried.

The Bee gar Woman.

During time of dearth poor beggar
woman, miserably clad, but very clean,
went through village, asking aims. From
some doors she was driven away with harsh
words, from others she received a few dried
crusts or other refuse too mouldy and de-
cayed to be eaten by the family. One poor
laborer, however. noticing her restitution.
invited her into his house, made her sit by
the stove, and his wife cut off from fresh
baked loaf liberal slice The poor wo-
man enjoyed the warmth and food. and with
many thanks went on her way. The follow
ing day all the villagers were invited to
dine at the castle. As they entered the
dining room they were astonished to OBJ
serve that on the great table were many
dishes, with here and there mouldy bread,
raw turnips, and handful of bran-noih-
ing more On small table at the head of
the hall was spread an array of all sorts of
Bice things.
The lady of the castle stepping forward,
welcomed her guests and then said:
81 was the disguised beggar woman who
yesterday passed through the village. and
was anxious to know how, in these hard
times, the poor Jared, and thus put your
benevolence to the proof. OF all. these two
shared with me their best. They shall now
eat with me, and shall settle upon them
yearly sum. The rest of you are welcome
to take back again what you gave me, and
which you will fnd on those plates-and
remember, also. that as we SOW on earth,
so shall we reap in heaven

must be disposed about his person. Tho
average depth at which he can work com
fOrtably is about ninety feet. which as near
the depth at "hich the operations on the
Royal George were conducted. In the wa
ter from sixty to seventy feet deep, the men
can work for two hours at time, coming
up for ten minutes rest aud doing days
work of six or seven hours. An English
diver, encased in one of Siebe's dresses,
went down in the Mediterranean e a depth
of one hundred and sixty five feet, and re-
manned there for twenty i've minutes, and
We have heard that Green, the American
diver, inspected wreck at the depth of no
feet; but his experience was enough to con
vice him that he could not work on it with
out danger to life. At this depth the preA
sure of the water upon the hands is so great
as to force the blood to the head and bring
on fainting fits, while the requisite volume
of air inside the dress to resist the outward
pressure of the water is so great that it
would speedily sufocate. Means have been
tried to obviate these difficulties, but for
the present limit has been set to the ex-
tent to which man may penetrate the Sc
crets of the deep. An ingenious Italian
workman has brought to England a sort of
armor dress, which would resist the pres
sure of water; but our submarine engineers
think that this would not obviate the diff
culties arising from the limits placed to hu-
man endurance.

A Peach Orchard As Miles Long.

Our townsman Geo. F. Akers, Esq. who
is at present on visit to Virginia, writes
from Petersburg to a friend in this city that
'the breast works in front of Petersburg
thrown up by the Confederates during the
late war, extending to the left toward Rich
moud 90 miles, and to the right about 25
miles for the defense Of the city, has grown
up a continuous line of peach trees ofevery
variety, yielding an abundant crop the pre-
sent year This is the only legacy left by
our poor fellows who were on the advance

How to Prosper in Business.

In the first place make up your minds to
accomplish whatever you undertake de-
eide on some particular employment. and
persevere in it. "All difficulties are over
come by diligence and assiduity." Try and
see lift is not so.
Be not afraid to work with your hands
and diligently too. ''He who remains in
the mill grinds. not be who comes and
goes"
Be frugal. That which will not make
pot will make lido
Rise early. TIE sleeping fox catches
no poultry"
Treat every one with respect aud eivili-
ty. Everything is gained and nothing lost
by courtesy" Good manners insure sue
cess.
Never anticipate wealth to come from
any other source than labor. and never
place dependence on becomming possessor
of al inheritance. ''He who waits for a
dead mans shoes may 60 long time bare
footed" "He who runs after shadow
has a wearisome race
Above all things never despair "God
is where he was" Heaven helps those who
help themselves"
Follow implicitly these preeepts. and
nothing can hinder you from aecmulating.

Manufacturing Popularity

A letter from Paris in the New York
Times says that much ofthe enthusiasm ex
hibited towards the Emperor Napoleon and
the Empress, while in the public places of
the city, is manufactured. and comes from
persons specially engaged and paid for the
purpose. The. government has in its pay
body of 1900 men, who precede or ac-
company the Imperial family on all its ex-
petitions. They receive about SO day
besides their travelling expenses, aud they
continually change their DISCUSSES so as to
avoid observation. Their business is to
prepare for the reception of their NECESSITIES,
to get up an enthusiasm when the popula-
ton is disconnected or Indifferent, to watch
for the fret evidence of plots against tht life
of the Emperor. and to surround his per-
son when they have reason to aPPrehend
that an attempt is about to be made against
IT, This force is quite distinct from what
is called the secret police, and has sepa-
rate organization and chiefs Of it's OWL
When, therefore, the Minister talks of '.the
noble exampls Of courage and confidence"
which was given by their Majesties on the
occasion of the recent riots, the fact was
at every step of their progress they we're
surrounded by little army of spies and
defenders, who not only made themselves
hoarse with cheering. but kept a lypx-eyed
watch Oh the movements OF all the persons
in the crowd whose manner or appearances
suggested motives for suspicion.

Collie in Hnrses-

We are Informed by a gentleman who
has given much attention to the diseases to
which horses are liable, that the following
remedy is a safe and effective one. It is
certainly simple. and if administered with
proper,prudence, we are not aware that it
would do any harm to the animal, if it did
not effect cure. We give it the more read
lily because it is a remedy always at hand,
namely: Dissolve as much salt in a quart
of pure water may be required thorough
ly to saturate the liquid, and dreneh the
patient with one half of it. If the symp-
toms of relief are not noticed in fifteen min
utes or half an hour, give the remainder.
He states that this remedy has proved en-
tirely successful in very severe cases, where
other more complicated remedies have fail
ed.
There are two kinds Of collie, hatulent
and spasmodio collie. In the first, it is ocea-
stoned by the enlargement of the intestnes
by the food passing through the process Of
fermentation instead of digestion. Gases
are largely generated. and hence the deten-
ton and pain.
The spasmodic, which is accom- panied by
more excruciating pains than the former, is
caused by contraction of portion of the
small intestines. In either case, to force
down various pungent aud violent remedies
is dangerous and cruel.
