Hypophosphites is a good medicine, an excel

member when circumstances permit, that the
cause of the people is the cause of France.
Power is heavy burden, because one
cannot always do all the good one would
wish, and because contemporaries seldom
render justice; so tina, in order to fulfil ones

Col. Dewitt, at his large lot on Court
street place in this city, is making the begin
uing for one of the finest gardens in this city !;
and when his plans are perfected and fully
carried out, the lot and its surroundings will
not be surpassed anywhere hereabouts. To
begin with, he has the advantage of one of the
best localities in the city for the purpose, the
soil being light and rich, not liable to be
hardened by rains, or dried into powder dur
ing droutii. 1t is highly favorable for hot
beds and the production of early vegetables
vines, etc, and strong enough fo- all the late
productions. Considerable space is to be
given in the garden the present season to the
raising Of strawberries. A large space is al
ready occupied by choice fruit trees. Addi-
lions will be made to the present buildings
and new fence viii enclose the entire lot
Mr.. Harlow Hall is the active gardener, and
fills the position most admirably. We are
glad to make note of all advancement in
gardening, as this department of industry has
been too much neglected. Men will build
elegant houses, but ordinarily seem to care
little about the surroundings. A garden may
be made a source of enjoyment and profit.
When ''run" for the ''fun of it," the enjoy
ment largely predominates of course.

As Mr.. A. Ii. Barker and Frank Upton, of
Albany, were tramping in the woods few
days ago, they came upon the tracks of
bear that had just left his winter quarters. 1t
appeared that bruin, after sleeping 80 long,
wanted to stretch himself before taking up
his line of march. His first move was to
rise himself up and strike his claws and teeth
into tree; the scratches made by his claws
were as high as a man could reach, and the
prints of his teeth as high as a mans face;
his foot print was nine inches long and six
inches wide, showing that he had got to a
pretty good growth. They followed him
about two days, but as they had no dogs to
worry him, old bruin was little more than
match for them on a long march, and they
concluded to lethinl run. si4tF
