To REMOVE ScoRcH MARKs.-If
linen has been scorched, and the mark
not penetrated entirely through, so as to
damage the texture, it may be removed
by the following process: Peel and

THE GREAT SLEET OF lS71.-ITs
EFFECT ON THE FRUIT CROP.
From the Western Ruralist. ]

Sleet is a natural phenomenon of fire.
pearance more or less frequently every
year, and may appear at asy time when
the rain-cloud is warmer than 320
Fahrenheit, aud the crust of the earth
and objects near ii are below the freq
ing point.
The sleet about which we propose to
say few things, fell on Wednesday
the 25th of Jaouary. 1t began iu the
morning at 6 O'Clock, with the ther-
mometer at 27o, and rained without
interruption until the morning of
Thursday. The falling rain elevated
the temperature to 800 by nightfall of
the same day; yet most Of the rain was
converted into ice and did not enter the
ground. The measure of the rain was
III inches, and we noticed horizontal
line No 10 galvanized wire enveloped
with an icicle fully one inch in diameter,
with short icicles from below at dis
tances apart as regular, and proportions
as uniform as the teeth of horse comb.
In the magitude of its proportion, this
sleet very far exceeds anything of the
sort We ever witnessed before, and the
dismantled forest trees bear evidence of
this, those of brittle texture, with many
small branches suffering most.
We were curious to take some notes
of the proportions OF this sleet, and cut
off branch of the Weymouth Pine,
about six inches long The delicate and
slender leaves ofthe White Pine, which
add so much to its beauty, put out in
fascicles Of FIVE upon the small branches,
and radiating around the points; these
leaves assume the appearance of a
brush four or six inches in diameter.
In the branch cut off, each of these
fascicles had presented its points to the
shower, and had become the base Of an
icicle5 so that branch, in itself almost
as light as feather, had taken on
three quarters of pound of ice !;
and the parent, very fine venerable
tree OF fifty summers, with foliage too
dense to let through drop of rain
before freezing, actually had in attach>
SuCutc ~ pUtHtS VI ltS IuteTlOf UFaHcHeS
the respectable weight of three and q
half tons of Ice, being the weight Of a
shower of rain | IL inches upon the
space covered by such tree.
It is not surprising, then,s that
branches called on TO suspend three or
-four hundred pounds of ice at arms
length should fail of strength, and
being too brittle to bend down to the
perpendicular. should break off ana
dismantle the tree--a fate that has
overtaken this beautiful evergreen
above all others. We are not disposed
to question the fitness of those laws by
which the elements are ruled; and if w
were called upon to assess damages for
the crashing among the trees which
accompanied this sleet storm, we shoult
feel disposed to dwell considerably il
mitigation of damages upon the advan
tage the farmer has derived from ths
presence OF this slcet The drought d
last summer exhausted the moisture
.npsn the earth's surface to depth ex,
ceeding two feet; but up TO the 25tl

A WONDERFUL MEMoRy-Daniel
Mccartney, humble laborer in Salem,
Columbiana county, Ohio, SO years of
age, possesses such wonderful memory
that he is subject of an article in the
last number of the journal of Specuia-
tive Philosophy, published in ST. Louis.
The article was written by w. ID.
Hedkie, the State Commissioner of
Public Schools in Ohio. Mr. Kenkle
visited Mr.. Mccartney and used all
possible ingenuity in making repeated
tests. Mccartney is.illiterate and nearly
blind, but he remembers the occurrences
of every day since January 1st,. 1927,
when he was nine years old. Mention
any dete to him in the last ID years,
and he tells instantly what day of the
week it was, what sort of weather pre-.
vailed, and what he was working at
and conversed about. Mr. Henkle pro.
vided himself with a Journal for 45
years, and after several severe cross
examinations, proved Mr.. Mccartney
to be correct invariably. Mr.. Mozart
ney also displayed remarkable faculty
for mental arithmetic.

as we had opportunity to know by the
digging or holes in the orchard, only
abeu, one foot of this arid mass had
been moistened by the rains of autumn
and winter, and the lower stratum could
not easily be saturated unless some
sponge like material held the moisture
at the surface while it slowly filtered
through. A snow fall is perhaps the
most efficient method of waterin! the
dry sub>soil. as. beside holding the
water while the snow melts, the parti-
cles of STOW. in falling drop so lightly
as not TO close the interstices made by
frost for percolation of water, which the
pattering of the heavy drops 10 rains
fall would do. But the only difference
between snow aud sleet is, that one is
water frozen in the clouds, the other
the same material CONCEALED on objects
near the earth's surface, and in this
case containing III inches, together
with the snow and rain that fell upon
it, furnished as much moisture towards
saturating the ground as u snowfall to
the depth of twenty eight inches would
have done.
As to the effect of sleet upon the
fruit crop, we are of opinion that the
masses entertain an undue apprehen-
sion of danger. In April 1868, many
OF our readers will remember that after
the peaches were in fnll bloom, light
snow fell during the forenoon of the
10th of April, and during the evening
changed into rain and sleet, so that on
the morning of the llth, the petals Of
the peach blossom were embedded
in frozen snow and ice, transparent as
the c.earest crystal, but the thermom-
eter stood at SO, and peaches in full
bloom were not hurt; so in the late
sleet storm the thermometer was at no
time below 24o, while the backward
ness or slightly developed condition of
the fruit bud would secure it from
harm in the presence of any degree of
cold above Zero, even though surround
ed by sleet.
AS respects the prospects for fruit
crop in 1871, the dry weather IF last
summer, We think, has secured full
supply of fruit buds, which being alive
and but slightly swollen, will MT pro-
bably be damaged, and are therefore
most likely subject to the single future
hazard of passing the ordeal Of spring
frosts. The damage to the orchards ty
the great weight of this sleet is confined
principally to peach trees with large
hanging or horizontal branches, and we
think the best thing the orchardist eau
do with such will be, where the dis
mantiing IS not too great, to head back
the remaining branches, sparing vig~
orous sprouts, and thereby make an
effort to secure growth of young
wood branches. A vigorous tree thus
treated may have considerable bearing
wood for the crop of 1871.

An old farmer was one day looking
over his broad acres, with an axe on his
shoulder and small dog at his heels.
They espied woodchnck. The dog
gave chase and drove him into stone
wall, where action immediately com.
menced. The dog would draw the
woodchuck partly out from the wall,
and then the woodchuck would take the
dog back. The old gentleman's SYM
pathy getting high on the side of the
dog, he thought he must help him. So
putting himself 10 position, with the axe
above the dog, he waited for the ex-
traction of the woodchuck. just as he
struck, the woodchuck gathered up,
drew the dog in far enough to receive
the blow, and he was killed on the spot
For years after, the old gentleman. in
relating the story, would always add ;
"And that dog don't know to this day
but what the woodchuck killed him.

South, the niece of the Governor Of 60,
