The preparations for building, previously no
tced, are being made with great energy Ma
sons, stone-cutters and brck-layers are all busy.
Carpenters are not as much in demand as yet.
One noticeable feature in the building this sea-
son is tie large quantity of stone and iron to be
used. We have in this vicinity an abundance
of excellent building stone, marble, blue lime
stone, and several excellent, varieties of free
stone; but as yet the quarries have been little
worked. hns -A
There is considerable demand for good tracts
of mountain land. 1t is unfortunate for us that
the early surveys were so careless and the State
so needless in giving encouragement to late en-
tsrors and land sharks. Tennessee lands, with
apparently perfect titles, perhaps certified as
good by mountain courts, are hawked about in
MI the cities OF the country, snapped for green
spectacles, or any other trumpery, and q very
false impression is thus given as to the value Of
the lands of which these are but counterfeit, or
at best, base-born deeds. Where mountain
land has been properly worked up" every
doubt as to title and lines removed by skiliftl
hand, there is ready sale at fair prices. Fair
prices, which do not mean high prices for land
which can only be made productive by con-
siderable outlay of labor and capital, both OF
which must have suitable return. ~ q saafg
A novel mode of making use of our mountain
lands has recently been proposed by Mr.. Muir
ply, of Pennsylvania. There is very flexible,
soft and durable leather prepared from the skin
of the Tampieo Goat. These goats grow to the
size of a yearling calf, and multiply with aston
ishing rapidity. It is considered q low average
for q herd to quadruple in number in q single
year. The skins would be worth from one to
two dollars EACH Those of the kids being used
for gloves; those of the full-grown for boots.
The flesh of the kids is considered dslcacy,
while that Of the grown animal would afford d
cheap and nourishing food. The cost of keep
lag them would be next to nothing. They pro-
tect themselves from dogs and wild animals,
and pick up living where even q sheep would
starve. How they would stand our climate, or
how far experience would change the figures of
theory, we cannot say; but the idea is novel
one, and worth more attention than at FIRST
sight the Goat question" would attract. I If the
mountain sides can be made productive in this
way, MT Murphy would be entitled to credit
tor the originality of his idea. a8Q EeIsa Ell !

INSANE PATIENTS.

The experiment of treating insane
patients in families is being made in
Massachusetts,, aud so far it has been
tried, with encouraging success. In
each of four country houses purchased
by the trustees of the Worcester asy-
lum are now living from five to elev-
Ell men and women taken from the
asylum. Those had been chosen who
did not need confinement nor eoer-
ciOn, and whom il was thought safe
to leave under the care of trusty wO-
men of some experience. The re-
straint of imprisonment is abolished.
they were living as free as il in their
own homes, with open fields, sweet
country air, and the bright sunshine
to render them cheerful and happy.
A visitor to these cottages writes to
the Boston Advertiser that it is not
easy to describe the difference be-
tween the looks of their occupants
and those confined in the asylum.
They seemed, almost all, very happy.
Many of them were busy with the
work of the house, or their own work,
and all appeared to be cOntented,
there, being a pleasant home look
about them which it was delightful
to see. To any one who has been in
telligent and well-bred men and wo-
men, so free from any appearance Of
insanity that a casual visitor might
converse with them for hours with
out observing any indications of
disordered intellect, impatiently pa
cling up and down the confined wards
of an asylum like Gagged animals in a
menaperie the inheritance of such a
reform in the treatment of the insane,
if it is practicable, must be apparent
at glance. For violent maniaes, Of
course, a strict restraint is necessary
bat this class forms but a small pOr-
tion of those who compose the popu-
lation of a lunatic asylum.

MIR. BEECHER AT HOME

No matter who comes or goes in
Brooklyn, what strangers preach or
stars shine, Plymouth church is al
ways crowded. Mr.. Beecher has
opened his season with unusual health
and spirit. His great lecture room,
plain as a Plymouth barn, is full from
week to week. And even the parlors
adjoining have to be opened to ac-
eommodate the throng. a great many
people attend the Friday night meet
ing from other churches, who do not
hear Mr.. Beeoher preach. The Friday
night meeting is unique, and unlike
anything on the continent. 1t is
crisp, sparkling and entertaining
The singing is hearty and full. -Four
hymns are usually sung. There are
no omissions but the hymn is sung
straight through. Two brethren are
called upon to pray between the sing
ing, and ten men do all the PRAYING.
One of the ten is invariably called
upon year after year. Why the circle
is not enlarged it is difficult to tell
The Scriptures are not read. At the
conclusion of the third hymn Mr..
Beecher gives his Talks He sits
in his chair during his address, never
rises, but is very much at his ease
He holds his hymn book in his hand
throws one leg over the other-teet-
ers back in his chair-shoves the Bible
back and forth nervolsly--changes
the position of his vase of flowers
and twisted round from side to side,
without the slightest idea
of what he is doing. His talks are sell
dom over twenty minutes, whent he
is thrown open for questions
a few remarks are sometimes madeb by
the brethren, and the meeting is then
closed with a rousing song of praise.
The whole service seldom exceeds one
to Boston Journal.

try township, Pa, is trying the ex-
pertinent of raising an eagle hatehed
by hen. The POttstOwn Led0ey.
gives the following account: "About
a month ago, while on Flye's Hill, he
saw large bird fly up from a lonely
place among the rocks. Proceeding
to the spot, he discovered two eggs,
Ofnearly the size and appearance of
turkey eggs, which he picked up,
brought home and placed under a set
ting hen. About week ago the eggs
were Matched out, and Mr.. Fries, was
astOnished to find that they were ca
giles. The old hen must have been
considerably surprised, too, for She
snluttered, and tTampled upon one of
her rare progeny and killed it. The
other will probably grow up and do
we'll. Eagles sometimes carry Off
chickens, and il would be rather a
IOke if this specimen would some day
gather up the old hen that Matched it
lnd fY away with her.
