A Tight Squeeze.

The late Mr.. Lyman Raymond. for
many years much-respected merchant at
Bridgcwater. Vermont. used TO relate the
following anecdOtc of one of his acquaint-
ances. and v0ilched for its trlthfulness.
miller in a small town in Vermont
was, ut intervals, temporarily insane tor

he imagined himself to be I'm another world

Judge OF all the earth. He built a large
platform nearly ten feet from the ground.
and seated thereon I'm an armchair. with
pOnderous Bible in hand, he imagined
large cOncOurse Of people to be before
him. and proceeded TO question them con-
corning their former occupation. conduct,
etc. answering the inquiries himself. At
length he came to miller residing in an
town, and questioned him thus:
What was your occupation in yonder
world?''
"A miller. Sir

Sterility and Depletion.

Regarding this subject Mr.. Howorth re-
marks: The gardener who desires his
plants 10 blossom and bear fruit takes care
that they shall avoid vigorous growth.
He knows that this will inevitably make
them sterile: that either his trees will
only bear distorted flowers. that fail TO
produce seed. or that they will bear none
at all. In order to produce flowers and
fruit he checks the growth and yigor of
thu plant by pruning its roots and
branches. depriving it of food. and, if he
have stubborn pear or peach tree which
has long refused TO bear fruit, he adopts
the hazardous but often most successful
plan Of wringing its bark.

opening of the court at Columbia, South
Carolina, yesterday, Avery, the famous
Ku-Klux, now or trial, was absent. Judge
Bond demanded to know where Avery was,
when McNIasters, counsel for the defendant,
hoped that the court would excuse him an
swering the question, whoreupon Judge
Bond ordered McMaster to show cause why
his name should not be stricken from the
roll of attorneys. The court then signed
an order for the forfeiture of the bail of
Avery. The amount of the absconding
Ku-Klux is $4,000, and, it is generally sup
posed, that he has fled the State, feeling
satisfied that his trial will result in convc-

THURSDAY EVENING, JAN. A, 1872.
EMIGRATION TO DE REGRETTED.

1t will be seen, by reference to our Vir-
gnia news items, that Col. Michael G. Har-
man, of Staunton, has sold one Of his mag
nifcent estates in Augusta county, to Maj.
Edward Mcmahon, with the intention of
removing from Virginia in short time. =
Whatever else may be said of Col. Har-
man, none will deny that he is one Of the
most energetic and public spirited men of
the Commonwealth. His zeal in behalf of
public improvements, and his ample means
to assist in their prosecution, entitle him to
the credit and the confidence of our people.
The loss of man like him can scarcely
be over-estimated. rl
From the adjoining county of Albemarle,
A. P. Abel, ESQ.,, another prominent citi-
zen, leaves his mother State, and we hear
of others likely to leave in short time.-
We, of course, do not know the motive
which prompts these valuable citizens to
leave Virginia, but presume tits to improve
their condition and find place where the
prospects for improvement are enhanced.
In, They have remained here long enough
since the war, to satisfy themselves that
the opposition of the people to the progress
sive ideas of the age, is keeping back the
development of the State, and that SO
chained are the ruling class to old exploded
theories, that the future is darkened by
clouds of doubt.
H We think they are leaving too soon. We
have hope for the future of Virginia yet,
and think, we see the first rays of new
day, soon to dawn upon her.
