Five Miles of Fire on the Fishkill Noun
tains.
[Newburg IN. ~ Telegraph. June 24.I

LNewburg IN. j. Telegraph. June 4.l
For over five weeks this section of country
has been without rain, if we may except a
slight shower few days ago. For many days
the heat has been intense, the mercury in the
thermometer ranging among the ninetes. For
three or four nights past no dew has fallen, and
the country is suffering terribly. The hay
crop on uplands is entirely destroyed, but that
on the lowlands is safe yet for week if rain
ers are blowing in the meadows and sowing
fodder corn, fearing they will have nothing for
their stock if the drought continues. Oats on
rocky dry lands are completely gone. Rocky
and gravelly land has turned as red as fox,
and the farmers are becoming seriously alarmed.
And, too, the mountain fires have commenced.
In the Highlands of the Hudson, on st. An
thongs Nose, across to Fort Montgomery and
in the vicinity of Crows Nest, hundreds of
trees have been destroyed by the flames. FRI
day night fire caught on the Fishkill Noun
tsins, five miles from Sylvan Lake and in less
than three hours it had run nearly five miles,
destroying 1000 cords of wood belonging to
Mr.. George II. Brown, and clearing its path
way oftrees. The scene at night was magni-
fcent one the crests of the mountain being
lined with fame, and the whole valley beneath
was the next morning enveloped in smoke
Gangs of men were hurried to the spot, and
they fought the fire with dirt and fallows, but
it is burning yet. Up to Hudson a smoky at
mosphere prevails day and night, and the smell
of fire from burning forests and underbrush is
everywhere. The Catskill Mountains are al
most entirely shut from view, rs is also the U.s.
ter range of the Shawangunks. There have
been westerly winds for many days, and, as a
consequence, the water in the Hudson is ex-
tremely low, and navigation north of Hudson
ia very difficult.

About Curing Hay.

The best farmers differ in regard to the
amount of drying or curing necessary for
the hay before storing it, and much of
this difference arises from the different
manner and the difference in the places Of
storing it. When there is no rain water in
the hay or dampness from dew, it may be
stored without risk, when most farmers
would regard it about half dry. If have
been guilty of committing almost every
blunder that men ever committed in farm
ing, 1 plead mot guilty" to that one of
drying hay too much, SO that the leaves
and better portions of it were left on the
meadow or crumpled off and wasted in
the barn. A farmer having large amount
of scatfolding in his barn, convenient to
the NOV, can cover it with wilted grass
eighteen inches or two feet deep, and after
three or four days throw it into the NOV.
Hay cured in this way will come out of
the NOV at any time during winter or
spring with all its beautiful green but
whether hay cured in this way will be suf-
ficiently enhanced in value to pay for the
increased cost of curing it, remains an un-
settled question with me.
Hay may be put into NOW in large
quantities, if put in at once, and the barn
closed up, with but little risk of damage to
the hay, provided it is fairly wilted and
free from rain water and dew.

An Anecdote Of Clay and Adams.

Probably the two men in public life who
could most safely trust to their own re-
sources and requirements, under all cir
cumstances, were Mr.. Adams and Mr..
Calhoun. The endowments of Mr.. Cal
houn were of higher order, and his ere
alive power was superior to that of Mr..
Adams; but the "old man eloquent rs
he was called, had a memory so tenacious,
and his knowledge was so extensive and
exact, that he never seemed to need any
special preparation. He was the most la
borious and methodical man in Congress,
and probably in the country. He kept a
voluminous diary, in which every event,
incident, or circumstance of the day was
carefully noted down and this, with his
habits of industry, made him a very doc
tor in all matters of controversy and argyll
ment 1t was knowledge of his complete
equipment and his power as an antagonist
that prompted the reply of Mr.. Clay, when
asked when he purposed to renew the dis
cussion with Mr.. Adams on the vexed
question of the fisheries Of the Mississip-
pi, as connected with the treaty of Client.
Finding himself getting the worst of the
argument, Mr.. Clay closed the considera-
ton of the matter, SO far as he was concern
ed, with the remark that he should drop
the subject, hoping to renew it at some flu
ture period more favorable for calm dis.
cussion, when he expected to show that
Mr.. Adams was altogether in the wrong.
Some time afterward q friend asked him
when he proposed TO reopen the contro-
versy. "Never I" was his emphatic reply.
"A man must be born fool who volunta-
rily engages in a controversy with Mr..
Adams on q question of fact. 1 doubt
whether he was ever mistaken in his life.
And then, If he happens to be in doubt
about any thing, he has his inevitable di-
airy, in which he has recorded every thing
that has occurred since the adoption of the
Federal Constitution. "-Hdrper'S Maya

A Member OF the typographical Union Re-
fused Burial by Catholic Bishop.
From The Montreal witness. june g. J

Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock the friends
and relations of poor Chabat, the printer who
was last week drowned in the harbor, followed
his remains to the grave in the Roman Catholic
Cemetery, but strange TO say, the authorities at
the last moment refused to allow the body TO be
Inferred. Upon inquiries being made it was
stated that n note had been handed to Bishop
Bourget, informing him that the deceased was a
member of secret society inimical to the Cath
Ollie faith, and that consequently he had felt
himself constrained to prevent the burial of the
deceased in consecratod ground. This was a
dreadful blow to the friends of Chabot whose
only connection was with the Montreal Typo
graphical Union, No. 81, which of course is
very far from being secret society. Several
persons attempted to have the order withhold
ing burial rescinded, but up to o'clock O. IN.
to-day with no success. The remains were,
however, allowed to be deposited in the ceme-
terry vault, where they will remain until some~
thing definite is decided on. A deputation
from the Union will, this morning, formally
visit che Bishop and lay before him the true
state of affairs, explaining in what manner de-
ceased was Q member, etc. Another rumor is
that Bishop Bourgst, having been told of the
lsto meeting of the International Topographic
cal Union in the Hall of the Institute Cana
dian, made up his mind that the two bodies
were associated together, and both were, there
fore, well worthy of accommodation. Much
indignation is expressed by the printers gener-
ally at the Bishops conduct.

The above fish pat up in little tin boxes,
and so much relished by some as lunch,
of the Mediterranean sea Immediately sur
rounding the island of Sardinia, and
thence derived their name-sardines. The
great popularity of these little titbits, soon
caused them to be counterfeitsd, and sprats
and pilchard were put up in olive oil, the
same way, and sold for sardines. They are
really about as good as the original sar-
dine and are caught in large numbers on
the coast of Bretagne, in West France, the
place of the chief fishery of the kind in
the world. The name herring is believed
70 have been derived from the Teutonic
aere or heer meaning an army or multitude.
Such are the derivations of these words,
but why man should ever address his
wife as ''You old Sardine," we are not at
present able to say.

AN article in Hdrper's Magazine for
July on the Russian policy in the East is
full of facts of deep interest to those watch
ing the developments that policy is ma
king. For the ingenuity of a tyrant com
mend us to this wretch whom the writer
describes as follows:
Ivan ". was justly surnamed the Ter
rible. He possessed the ferocity of wild
beast, and on the slightest caprice would
condemn his subjects to death. In single
year sixty thousand men were killed by
his orders, many of them by the most
cruel tortures. One of his favorite amuse-
ments was to bend down two small and
supple trees by the united strength of half
a hundred men, so that the tops of the
trees would be brought together at the
ground. The victim would then be led for
ward, and his feet would be fastened, the
right to one of the trees, and the left to the
other. At signal the restraining pres
sure would be removed, and the elasticity
of the wood swung the man into the air,
where he was generally torn in two. Burn
ing at the stake, tearing the flesh with hot
pincers, roasting in ovens, and the like,
were among the jovial fancies of this Mus
covite ruler and to show that he had no
fastidious fondness for his blOod-relations,
he murdered with his own hand his son
Ivan, who had been sharer i'm his
pastimes and cruelties.

An Opinion of Grant.

OF Gen. Grant, Col Mosby says: 81
think he is the ablest man in America, /
think he would be more useful to the
Southern people as friend than an enc

lieve he has the kindest feeling toward the
Southern people, and especially toward the
Confederate soldiers"
He thought that either Hon. James
Lyons or Gov, Wise would be most accep-

for Governor, and if the people of Vir-
ginia would elect either of them it would
be the quickest way to bridge over the

How to Care for Hams.

To preserve hams through be summer
larger than yosr hams. After the hams
are well smoked, place them in the bags,
and get the best kind of sweet, we'll made
hay; cut it with knife, and with your
hands press it we'll around the hams in
the bags tie the bags with strings, put on
a card of the year to show their age and
hang them up in garnet or some dry
room, and they will last five years, and
will be better for boiling than on the dav
you hung them up. This method costs
but little, and the bags will last forty
years. No flies or bugs will trouble the
hans if the hay is well pressed around
them; the sweetness of the hams wiz be
taken up by the hay, and it will impart a
fine flavor TO the hams. The hams should
be treated in this way before the hot
weather sets in Western RivQI.

Fight With Birds.

Yesterday a scene took place in the yard

occasion to climb "a pear tree for the pur-
pose of detaching rope, and having gain
ed about half his desired height he was at

of young in the higher branches of the tree.
Their attacks were keptup alternately for
a long while, striking the boy on his bare
head with their beaks and wings, and
finally became so demonstrative in their
war of blows and cries that the object of
their venom was forced, in fear of losing
his eyes, to beat a retreat West Chester
