GAS WELL.-We have heretefo
mentioned the feet that Gen. Case
ment was sinking a we'll in search of
gas, upon the farm of Mr.. c. @. Jen-
nings. We visited the scene Of labor
on Wednesday last, having heard that
they had ''struck gas" The well has
been sunk to a depth of nearly four
hundred feet Several small veins of
gas have been found, but nothing OF
importance until about the middle of
this week, when a considerable vein
was struck. The gas is conducted to
the furnace of the boiler and is now
used as fuel in place of coal. The
quantity already obtained is sufficient
guarantee that It is merely 4 work OF
time to secure aSfull supply of gas
from the earth. The success of this
well will work 4 perfect revolution in
the lighting and heating arrangements
of this town, and the pioneer in tho
full development of this useful agent
will deserve and secure the thanks ol
the entire community. We shall
watch the development of this work
with considerable interest, and viii
keep our readers fully advised of its
illuminating success.-PatResrHle Id

Pumpkins Among Corn.

The Farmers Club of New York is
somewhat exercised on this subject,
and rather lnclines, in one of its lead
ing members, j.. d. Lyman, to look
upon pumpkins among corn in a f;lv-
orable light The member has "heard
a great many old farmers say that
pumpkins do not set a corn crop. back
at all. We have seen fields where
part Of the corn was planted without
the pumpkins (for want of seed), ana
that part had the best corn. 1t may
be, in drOugh, that the broad leaves,
by shading the ground, may be bene-
fit. We have seen good crops under
such circumstances of both corn and
pumpkins; but the best have always
been where the crop was one of corn
only. And it stands in reason. Here
is the whole growth given to one crop,
crop that is very sensitive on this
point, as it wants all to itself. For
this reason we keep out all foreign
growths; aud the more we do t! is and
cultivate, STIR well the soil, the better
the crop. This must be obvious to
every one, and has long since become
patient. Where pumpkins are spar
ingly planted of course there is less
effect, the corn does better, the pump
kins probably also. Better raise tur-
nips, which, planted late, will not inter
fere, or but little, with the corn, foI
by the time the crop begins to tell, tho
season for the corn will be so far ad
vanced that but the ripening or ma
turing are to do, and this will not bC
seriously interfered with. 1t is witt
our "old farmers in this respect as in
many other things; they are no
close observers, and bias has a hclC
upon their judgment; hence they ar,
opposed to all the improvements a
first, and only adopt them from ne
cessity. Testing is the only true way
to decide. We have been long sine,
convinced, however, that pumpkins
among corn are an obstruction, hiEd
rance to the growth, and that they
delay ripening. Less and less pump
kins are raised every year; why? No
because they are a benefit amons
corn, but hindrance, to cultivate a
well as otherwise - Country Gentle

NARROW GAUGE RATLwAYs.-On the
subject of narrow gauge railways the
North American remarks:
1t is the point of the economy of
dead weight that the peculiar value of
the narrow gauge is found. Engineers
have vainly endeavored to find any
other means to economize the dead
weight of the railway train, which
wears out the track so rapidly. On the
ordinary plan, engine and cars alike are
excessively heavy, and this causes a
constant wearing out that prevents
many roads from paying. The only
objection to the new system is that OF
transshipping, but as the investment is
not intended for main lines, but only
for branches and tributaries, the trans
shipment is perhaps not serious mat
ter. Moreover on branches and trib-
utaries it is desirable to keep the cars
at home, instead of allowing them to
wander all over the country.

LYING IN BED.-It is often a ques
ton among people who are unac-
quainted with the anatomy and physi-
ology of man whether lying with the
head exalted or on a level with the
body, is the most unwholesome.-
Most. consulting their own ease
on this point argue in favor OF
that which they prefer. Now, although
many delight in bolstering up their
heads at night and sleep soundly with
OUT injury, yet we declare it to be q
dangero as habit The vessels in
which the blood passes from the heart
to the head, are always lessened in
their cavities when the head is resting
in bed higher than the body; there
fore, in all disecse attended with fever
the head should be pretty nearly on 8
level with the body; and people ought
to accustOm themselves to sleep thus
and avoid danger.
