10000 pounds of solid eXcrcment. and
about 5000 pounds of liquid. The

bivorous animals holds nearly all the
secretions of the body which are capa-
bic of producing the rich nitro genOus
compounds so essential as forcing or

An INDIANA TALE.-A short distance

on the bank of the bass burdened Blue
river. our fat friend pointed out the
hole III the ground where Enoch Davis
spent several Years of his life. Enoch
was man who had farm close by,
plenty of worldly goods. and family.
One morning Enoch had quarrel with
his wife about some fried mush, and in
the wordy war got the worst of it. To
revenge himself on the partner of his
bosom, he dug this hole in the ground.
walled it up, furnished it rudely, laid
in Il stock of corn meal, salt pork and
rcd-eye, and set up house keeping on
his own hook. The Blue river furnish
ed him with choice bass when he need
ed a change of diet. and EnOch lived in
peace, letting his hair. beard and finger
nails grow, and acquiring wild beasty
sort of look, and an ursine sort of growl,
which frightened off such adventurous
youngsters as felt disposed to intrude
upon his privacy. His wife made re-
pcated overturcs, looking to il reconcil-
iation. hut Enoch resolutely fastened
himself i'll his hole when she came
about. and growled viciouSly at her
through the bars. Finally Enoch dis
appeared, and has never been heard of
since. His wife, poor woman, carries
on the farm, and, i'll pecuniary point of
view has little reason to regret having

This consisted lin applying the hand of
