Curious are the grogbills Of our
grandtatners, and not pleasant to cohtcm.
plate when one thinks Of inherited and
congenial appetites. AT Centre Benniug-
ton. VT, lives Mr.. George w. Robinson,
a curious collector Of historical relies.
Among ether treasures ho has petty
ledger of the old Catamount Tavern Of
Revolutionary fame, and from this we
learn that Gen. Ethan Allen, who has not
usually been thought man destitute of
natural courage, did not disdain the Dutch
courage either, for his score, mainly for
stimulants kept by the Catamount, run
ming from January 1875 to little past
January 1856, footed up 60 ls.9., though
we must dodrct from tho lot of the whole
G1 lSs., charged for pasturing horse
an amount which does not properly be-
long to the alcoholic debts. The gallant
Generals credit, we regret to say, is only
95 Is. Sd, from which 1t appears that his
drink account does not differ from many
kept in these modern days. The curious
book also throws light upon the value o.
those times. We discover that IL mug
of grog" was sold for Is. 4d., and one
gallon of rum for five shillings-Provin

Meanwhile another traveller was max
his way in the sane direction, with quite
a different purpose from that which d.
rected the steps of honest Luke Meadows.
Kate moved restlcssly about the house
but never at farther distance from the
room Of the invalid than to bewithiI easy
call. On passing into the house-Plaee at
about half past eleven O'Clock, she was
startled by hearing noise at the window.
Thinking at first that it was only the wind
was shaking the glass, she took no imme-
diato notice OF the occurrence, until pres
emily she saw the window gradually rails
ed, and the light of dark lantern thrown
into the room. Half dead with fright,
she held her breath, barely conscious Of
what was going on around her. Though
she could net see his face, she could easi-
ly perceive that the man who entered
was well acquainted with the
place the instant he reached the floor
he gave one hurried look around and
made directly for the safe, which was
placed under one of the shelves on which
Farmer North kept the books which con-
stituted his library. Opening the iron
door with key, he took from it several
documents, and box Of money, which
he placed on the table. Up to this time
Kate Meadows had not seen the face oI
the visitor but when he had apparently
cleared out the contents OF the safe, he
turned to examine some notes. The light
was thrown upon his face. With loud
scream Kate rushed toward him. The
burglar was Tom North
In a moment he had again passed
through the window, leaving the safe ans
the documents which he had abstractcC
strewn upon the table. Kate had now
fallen down almost insensible, just as Far
mer North, who had been aroused by hel
screams, rushed from his bedroom, gur
in hand. Quickly learning from the state
of the room that the safe had been open
cd and its contents purloined, and alst
qereciring at G lance that the window
was open, he rushed that way, the better
as he thought, to track the cuIprit. Abou
!" h"ad~ol sa~.le f.~-, thu hnnsa h.
thought he saw figure quickly retreatin!
in the distance. Without deliberatin:
for lnorc than an instant, North fired hi
gun, and ran, as he hoped, upon his game
but he could find no intruder dead O
alive. Returning to the house. the farm
er found Kate Meadows liz a state of tn
most distressing agitation; but he coult
not gether any further information iron
|, her than that she had seen man ente
the room and plunder the safe. WheI
pressed to an answer if she could identif
, him. she was too truthful to equivocate
and implored him through her tears no
/ to ask her any more about the incident
: of that most terrible night.
Farmer North having made every thin
, secure, and having assured his wife, i
one of those humane misrepresentation
Of which it may be hoped the recordin
angel will take no note, that he had onl
gone out on hearing the dogs bark, retire
| to rest. But he was too keen an observe
not to have perceived that Kate Meadow
had recognized the burglar, who ha
shown an intimate knowledge oftho Farm

sandy soils. This may be partly ascrlbed to the ply
steal effect of the lime in opening AID loOsening the
stiff clay but independent of this action, the parti-
cles of lime are liable to be coated over and envelo ped
in fine clay, and thus shut out from the access of the
air. Again, acken tht soil is rich IN vegetable matter, lime
may be still more abundantly applied, for in this case
the vegetable matter combines with and marks the
ordinary action of a considerable quantity OF lime"
Again, -" From the chemical action which 70 flows
the use oflime, it's chief benefits are derived; these
are, principally, LIST, That it increases the fertility of
of such as are moist or contain inert vegetable matter.
"a, 1t enables the same soil 10 produce crops Of su-
pcrior value and quality. Bird, 1t increases the effect
Ofa given application of manure calls into action
that which, having peen previously added, appears 10
lie dormant and although it is necessary where lime
is used to manure abundantIy also, yet the same de-
gree of prOductiveness can still be maintained at q
less cost of manu- re than where no lime has been ap-
piled. 4th, AS a necessary result of these important
changes, the money value is raised, and tracts which
have long let with difficulty at SIS. per acre, have been
raised solely by the application of time to the value of
from 30s. to 4Os." The theory of the action of lime
may be thus summed up list, it supplies a kind of
inorganic food, which appears to be necessary to the
healthy growth of all our cultivated plants. Cd, 1t
neutralises acid substances which are naturally form
ed IN the soil, and decOmpOses, or renders harmless.
other noXious compounds which are not unfrequentlv
within reach of the roots of plants. When organic
matter u%ndergoes decay in the presence of air and
water, it assumes oxygen, and there ensues a tenden-
cy towards an accumulation of acid substances in the
soil, and this is more especially the case where the
soil is moist, and where vegetable matter abounds.
The effects of this superabundance of acid matter is,
on the one hand, to arrest the further natural decay
OF the organic matter; and, on the other, to rende
