y few days since a boy named John
Nosman found in the bottom above the
city kettle containing $4,000 in gold and
silver coin. The boy is an orphan, the
son Of soldier who was executed at Fort
LcavcnWorth for descrtion, when Johnnie,
who is now Il years Of age, was a baby.
The boy used to live in this city, and
earned his living by backing boots, but
this winter he went out in the country
above the city and hired himself out to a
farmer for &l2 month and his board. AT
the time spoken of he was out after the
COWS, and concluded to DIG up piece OF
sassatras root on the hill side to take home
for tea. In digging for the root he struck
the kettle, and upon eXhuming it found
that it contained money. He lugged his
treasure home, and it was counted and
showed something in the ncighborhOod
of $4,000 in gold and silver. Mosman very
scnsibly took his money up to Omaha,
where some of his relatives live, and has
deposited it, and proposes TO educate him
self well with a part Of it and go into bust
ness with the remainder.-St. Joseph (K0.)

Grating Fruit Trees.

o. many grounds are large old speci-
mems OF apple, cherry, pear, or other
trees, either wild or of inferior kinds,
which, few hours spent in grating,
would ii very few years afford an
abundance of delicious fruit, instead of
now encumbcring the ground to no pur-
pose whatever.
1t is very easy matter to graft, ard
does not require near the amount Of skill
many people suppose it does. Failures
generally occur from using sciOns of low
vitality or from operating too soon. OF
course, most Of our readers know that
Sci0u is the name given to the parts we
wish to use on the tree to be grated, while
the tree to be grfted is the st0ch The
scions should be as vigorous as they can
be obtained, and preserved from shrink
ing by being buried in the ground, all but
few inches Of the tops. Trees to be
grated may be cut back so that it is but
series of stumps about one, two or three
inches in diameter. These are split to
receive the scions, but care must be taken
in making the slit, that the cut down by
the bark on the outside is regular and
smooth. For this purpose it is best to
push knife an eighth or quarter Of an
inch into the stock about three inches be-
low where it is cut off, and draw it up to
this; then the stock may be split with the
chiscl so as to preserve this clean outside
face. 1t IS no matter how rough the
inside or central portion of the stock
may be, but the outside face must be regu-
lar. The scion must then be made wedge
shaped also with a regular clean and plain
pair of edges, 50 as to fit to a nicely the
split in the stock. If this is nicely done
a scion would almost grow without any
tying or waxing; but to make matters safe
it is usual and best to tie the split parts
together, and then to tie around clay, or
wax, OF anything Of this nature which will
check the evaporation from the slit parts.
The two outside edges or banks must be
made to come nearly level on their faces,
so that the bark of the scion and stock
meet exactly by their edges
To have the greatest success in grafting
it should not be done until the tree to be
grated is just pushing into leaf; but the
scions for grating must be cut off several
weeks before this. Trees may then be
grated almost up to midsummer, long
after stocks or trees to be grated have
pushed into leaf. Indeed, we believe that
grating is more certain after the tree has
pushed into the leaf than before, provided
the gratis are very strong, have been cut
early, and the trees to be grated are in
tolerably vigorous health. 1t does not
pay to work with either poor scions or
halfdead stocks.-Forney's Weekly Press.

A Miraculous Escape.

Yesterday afternoon, as the Buffalo
Express on the Erie Railway was dashing
through IOrdville, a lumberman named
John Dunn was dragging maple log,
eighteen feet long and two feet thick,
across the track to the Delaware river.
Just as the log had reached the center of
the outer track it became fast against the
rail. Dunn whipped up his horses, when
they sprang and broke loose from the log,
leaving it across the track. The engineer,
Charles McGatt, Immediately whistled
down brakes, but the locomotive struck
the log while going at full speed. The
log rolled up the cowcatcher and lodged
underneath the headlight, where it re-
manned stationary for about two seconds.
1t rolled down the cowcatcher on to the
track and was again thrown up under the
headlight, breaking the brass rods and
some of the iron work under the light.
The log then rolled down again, one end
striking timber on the top of low stone
wall, the end of which it shivered into
splinters. The log then plunged into the
cowcatcher endways, breaking the main
stay OF the cowcatcher The but of the
log struck the steel axle of the front
wheels of the locomotive 1t was then
carried between the rails, bounding over
the ties for 300 feet before the train could
be stopped. The engineer, McGatt, and
the fireman, James McCally, stood brave
" at their posts until the train had come
10 a standstlll. All the railroad men and
| ola travellers said that it was most
miraculous escape.

when the train struck it said to Sun re-

butter. In place of the inefficient hand
working of the butter, Jaws worked bv
power, squeezing out the buttermilk. lust
as the melted Stag is squeezed out of the
sottened iron in pudding. The dairy
farm at which this butter is made has, we
believe, a hundred or more cows, in addi-
tlon to which milk is purchased from the
nelghboring farms. 1t is, in other words.
factory, producing butter on a large
scale, OF uniform, excellent quality. Our
theory OF buttcr-making has always been
to carry the milk from the COWS directly
to the churu, and only to delay churn-
ing long enough for the milk to cool
20 the proper temperature. There
would then be two Cummings each day,
ana the quantity should be sufficient to
make one or more complete packages for
the market at each churning. Theoreti
cally, also, the caseine should be imme-
diately separated from the residual milk
and buttermilk, and the ultimate products,
butter and cheese, be the only substances
remaining to be cared for from day to dav.
In such factory, power and good machin-
cry would substitute hand labor, and a
uniformly good product of butter should
result. The cheese would be of secondary,
though considerable importance. At the
present time large quantities of French
butter, of uniform quality, are sold in the
English market, at a good price Mean
while, American butter, in England, brings
much less than its value, from the fact
that no two packages are alike, even from
the same dairy. This holds good of
Rhode Island butter, in our own market
The butter from the same dairy, in sue
cessive weeks, in summer, has hardly a
recognizable resemblance. A principal
cause OF this diversity and infcriority of
product, is the difficulty or impossibility
of keeping milk and cream, in our varia-
bic climate, and in any but the best ap-
pointed dairy rooms or cellars. The re-
medy for this is in churning fresh milk
Instead of stale cream-Pr0ctdence Jour-

Perfect Butter.

THERE have been in the Providence
market this winter few hundred pals of
butter which have a history. They crme
from a single dairy in Illinois, and are
uniform in quality, hardly Distinguishing
bic, indeed, one from another, although
made in summer, autumn and winter.
They are sweeter, and have tresher and
more delicate aroma than any ball butter
we were able to find last summer in
Rhode Island. They contain little salt
churned daily from fresh milk. Here lies
the secret Milk one hour-butter the
next. No setting of milk-pans and skim
ming and storing-up of cream. No sub
lection of milk and cream to atmospheric,
electric and thermal changes. No eXpen-
sive cellars with running water to secure
fresh air and equal temperature or, in de-
fault, perpetually fuctuating product Of

After making an excavation small pile

the air came in contact with it, vigorous

and accordingly, obtaining some potatoes,
roasted them by the fire, ate lunch, then
lit some cigars at the blaze, covered the
