We hear complaints from all sources
that the currant bushes are being injur-
ed BY worms. Mr.. James NJ. Tanner
has splendid lot Of bushes, in the finest
condition, and he tells US that he has
preserved them from the ravages Of the
worms by throwing corn among them
and letting loose his poultry, which,
after satisfying their appetites with the
corn, crafty their tastes by picking the
worms from the bushes. They do not
modest the fruit in the least. The rem
edy is one which can be easily applied,
and if it proves US efficient with all as
it his in the case Of Mr.. Tanner, the
public will have abundant reason for
thankfulness.

HAVING FUN.-There lives in Amboy,
Oswego county, a man by the name of
John Parks, whose idea of "having
fun is novel, to say the least. About
three weeks since Parks was returning
from the "Centre," accompanied by an
other man. both being in state we'll
calcuelated for fun. As they were or
posite the pasture Of Mr.. Kenny Parks
said to his comrade, "you hold my coat
if you want to see some fun" Where
upon Parks got over the fence into the
pasture, and getting down upon all fours
proceeded toward two year old bull for
the purpose of frightening him. Taurus
waited his approach with calmness
which Parks thought would terminate in
fright, but be was mistaken. When he
had got near enough his bullship made
charge on Parks sitting-down place,
which he very speedily transformed into
something which resembled a skinner.
Surgeons and tailors say that it's the
worst Job of repairing they have had in
some time. Some one has been cruel
enough to ask Parks why he was like

A Perilous Passage.

The Portland, Or, Evening Bulletin
Of August 29th describes the passing of
a passenger train, on the evening Of Au-
gust 9th, through burning canyon
north of Oakland, on the Oregon and
California railroad. The fire had enter
ed the canyon and attacked the trees on
either side of the track several days be-
fore, and the Bulletin says that at times
the flames would leap from one side of
the track to the other, while the entire
canyon looked more like a roaring fur
mace than the road bed of a railroad. -
Many of the srees would fall across the
track, and it required the most strenuous
exertions on the part of those employed
to keep the track free. The train en-
tered the canyon during temporary lull
in the fury of the fire. If the track had
been known to be clear of all obstruc-
tions the engineer could have put his
iron horse to its utmost speed, and dash
ing forward, gotten through in few mo-
ments: but the very fact that trees were
falling every minute rendered it necessa-
ry for him to proceed with caution. He
pushed into the fiery furnace, and had
barely entered the canyon when the
flames, famed by the breeze commenced
to quicken and closed up behind him.
Slowly the train moved along, while the
angry flames followed fast and furious,
until at last the outcome was reached and
all danger was passed. Twenty minutes
later the entire canyon was one sheet of
flame, and the road bed, with its bars of
iron, resembled a huge gridiron.

The Green CountrYman.

Years ago, into a wholesale grocery
store in Boston walked tall, muscular
looking, raw-boned man, evidently a
fresh conner from some back town in
Maine or New Hampshire. Accosting
the first person he met, who happened to
be the merchant himself, he asked -
You don't want to hire a man in
your store, do you?"
Well" said the merchant. "I don't
know; what can you do ?"
dol" said the man, Z" / rather guess
| can turn my hand to almost anything
What do you want done?"
"Well, if l was to hire man, il
would be one that could lift well, strong
wiry fellow-one, for instance, that could
shoulder sack of coffee, like that yon.
der, and carry it across the store and new
er lay it down"
"There, now captin,' said our coun.
tryman, that's jest me. What will you
give man that can suit you? ?"
81 tell you," said the merchant. il
you will shoulder that sack of coffee, and
carry it across the store twice and never
lay it down, will hire you for year,
at one hundred dollars per month"
"Done." said the stranger, and by thi:
time every clerk in the store had gather
ed around and were waiting to join in
the laugh against the man, who, walking
to the sack, threw it across his shoulder
with perfect ease, as it was not extreme
ly heavy, and walking with it twice
across the store, went quickly to a large
hook which was fastened to the wall, anG
hanging the sack upon it, turned to the
merchant and said -
"There, now it may hang there til
Doomsday; / shan't never lay it down
What shall 60 about, mister? :? JUS
give me plenty to do and one hundred
dollars month, and it's all right"
The clerks broke into laugh, but il
was out of the other side of their mouth:
and the merchant, disecmfted, yet sat
isfied, kept to his agreement, and to-day
the green countryman is the senior part
ner in the firm, and worth half million
dollars.

registration at anelection district in New

bring his certificate of citizenship, which
for safe keeping he had pasted up on his

easily denied; and not long after his
first application, appeared before the as
tonished inspectors with his bedroom
door on his back, to which was pasted
the required certificate. Patrick was reg

tall, swarthy, Misunderstanding despe-

ing against tree, listened TO eloquent
exortations to repent which were being
made by the preacher. After a while
he became interested, and finally affect
ed, and then taking position on the
anxious seat, commenced groaning in the
very bitterness of his sorrow. The cler-
gyman walked down and endeavored 60
console him. No consolation he was
too great sinner, he said. Oh, no,
there was pardon for the vilest No, he
was too wicked-there was no mercy for
him.
"Why, what crime have you commit

"What have you by violence robbed

"Worse than that-Oh, worse than

beginning to take to themselves great
roughness, and country wagons rumble

looking, with great promise of clearness
and cold. Now the boys when they wake

eyes the indications tending to next win
