State Items.

Rattlesnakes 80 inches long and 10 inch
es in circumference are occasionally killed
in the vicinity of GAINESVILLE, Tennessee.
There are thirty miles OF thickly popu-
lated country between Athens and the Co
ker Creek Gold Mines almost entirely
without mail facilities.
The late report about the loss of all the
fruit was greatly exaggerated. From
all accounts the crop will be pretty good
throughout the State.
The order of Patrons of Husbandry has
extended its operations all over the South.
The farmers of Mississippi, Tennessee, AL
ALBANIA, and Georgia are organizing into
oranges, and evince a lively interest in
the movement.
Mr.. John A. Lee, who has just returned
from an extensive tour in East Tennessee,
informs us that the cutworm is making
sad havoc in several counties. In Loudon
county whole fields of clover and corn
have been completely mown off, and the
ground so lately covered with flourishing
vegetation is as bare as q travelled street.
The complaint of this scourge was loudest
in. McNIinn, Loudon, Blount, Knox, and
Green counties.
Mr.. Lee says the wheat crop of the east
ern section will scarcely be half what it
was last year, and if accident should hap
pen it will fall much below even that.
Fruit that escaped frost was almost in
variably on high ground. Oats and mead
ows are both backward but looking thrift

A Dutch Funeral.

A correspondent, writing from Amster-
dam, saws This morning, as the curtain
was lifted for the first time, about 6 O'Clock,
we saw a funeral procession, which was
one of the novelties of the place. The
hearse was covered over with heavy pail,
and horses draped from their eyes to
their tails in black covering, which is
made to fit the body, and on either side
walked long row of men dressed in
black, long stockings and breeches, black
dress coat, white necktie, black gloves and
cooked hat with long streamers of Grape
floating off behind them. There was but
one carriage-all black, too. Perhaps it is
not the fashion here for friends to go to the
grave.

Saving Grace.

1t seems TO us that this will answer. 1t
is Just over from England, and has not got
into American types:
A milliner's apprentice, about TO wait
upon a duchess, was afraid of committing
some error in her department She there
fore consulted friend as to the manner to
be adopted, and was told that on going be-
fole the duchess she must say her Grace"
and so on. Accordingly, away went the
girl, and on being introduced, after very
low curtesy, she said, For what l am
going to receive, the Lord make me truly
thankful" To which the duchess answer
ed, "Amen !"-Editoy's Dra,0er, in HaT-

Hunting Shine.

Among our own hunters was a trappel
named Shop Medary-a lively, registering
mountaineer, who liked nothing better
than to get joke upon any unfortunate
pilgrim or tender foot " vino waAver-
dant enough TO contide in his stories of
mountain life.
What night" said Shep, rs the moon
rose broad and clear" what q glorious
night for drivin' snipe!"
Here was something new. Two of our
young men were eager to learn all about
the mystery.
M Driving ri wing, s;.niipe! WHAT that shep?
Did we never hear? replied Shep, with
a face expressive of wonder at their igno-
rance. why, it's as old as the noun
tains, l guess; we always choose such
weather as this for drivin' snipe. The
snipe are fat now, and drive better, and
they're better eatiR too, / tell you, a
breakfast of snipe, broiled on the buffalo
chips, is not bad to take, is it, Dick %
Beaver Dick, who had just arrived in
camp, thus appealed to, growled an assent
TO the proposition contained in Shops
question and the boys, more anxious
than ever, pressed Shop for an eXplana-
ton.
Maybe" said one of them, "maybe we
can drive the snipe tonight and get mess
for breakfast; what have we got to do,
Shep?n
"Oh well, >" responded Shep, "if you're
so plaguey ignorant, Pm afear'd you won't
do. Howsomever you can try. You boys
get couple of them gunny sacks and
candles, and we'll go out and start 'em
up"
Elated with the idea of having a mess of
snipe for breakfast, the two young men,
under Shops direction, each equipped
with a gunny sack and candle, followed
him out upon the plain, half mile from
camp, accompanied by some half-dozen
members of our party. The spot was
chosen because of its proximity to marsh
which was supposed to be filled with
snipe. In reality it was the swarming-
place for mosquitoes.
Now" said Shep, stationing the boys
about ten feet apart, "epen your sacks, be
sure and keep the mouths of 'em wide
open, and after we leave you, light your
candles and hold 'em well into the sack, so
that the snipe can see, and the rest of us
will drive 'em up. 1t may take little
spell to get 'em started but if you wait pa
tiently they'll come"
With this assurance the snipe-drivers
LEFT them, and returned Immediately to
camp.
I've got q couple of green 'uns out
there and he with sly wink. They'll
wait some time for the snipe to come up, l
reckon
The boys followed directions,-the sacks
were held wide open, the candles kept in
place. There they stood, the easy prey of
the remorseless mosquitoes. An hour
passed away, and yet from the ridge above
the camp the light of the candles could be
seen across the plain. Shep now stole
quietly out of camp, and, making long
circuit, came up behind the victims and,
raising war-whoop, fired his pistol in the
air.
The boys dropped their sacks and start
Ell on a two-forty pace for camp, coming in
amid the laughter and shouts of their COM
panions.-"Ih The Ascent of Mount Hayden"

The receipts of cattle have been falling off, Cat

HOME CIRCLE.
THE FIRST.BORN.
BY ELIZABETH c. KINNEY

Tread rev rently, this is a holy place!
A soul this moment here begins to be;
A spirit born to live eternaily:
Speak low commences here human race;
An intant-man, Gods image on his face,
In life rough journey takes his first degree,
Opens his eyes, all not the end TO see,
only Omniscience all that path can trace.
softly in whispers there a mother lies,
The dew of youth upon her, yet so pale
She folds white hands, and looks with up
turned eyes,
To her Delverer seen as through the veil
Of this hours weakness still, her full heart
tries
For thankful utterance, though words may
fail. -Scri6Hcr s for June.

Old hogs are never as easily affected by
improper food as young ones, and it has
occurred that sows would appear in perfect
health when sucking young pigs, and yet
bad food so altered their milk as TO kill the
pigs.
