A Yankee Trick.

A KentGckian and Yankee were
once riding through the woods, the for
mer on a superior animal. The latter
wanted to make "swap." but he did
not see how be was going to do it. AT
last he thought of plan. His horse
had been taught to sit down like dog
whenever he was touched with the spurs
Seeing turkey the Yankee made his
horse perform this trick, and asserted
that he was pointing game, as was his
custom. The Kentuckian rode in the
direction Indicated by the horses nose,
and up rose turkey. This settled the
matter; the trade was made, and sad
dies and horses were exchanged. After
time they came TO deep, p,rapid stream,
over which the black horse carried his
| rider with ease. But the Kentuckian,
with the Yankees old beast, found great
difficulty in getting over, and when he
reached the middle Of the stream he was
afraid dathe horse would allow himself to
be carried eway, and endeavored 70
spur him up to more vigorous acticn
Down sat the old horse on bis launches
"Look here" shouted the enraged
Kentuckian to the Yankee on the other
side of the stream, "what does all this
mean 20
81 want you to know, stranger" cried
the Yankee, preparing to ride away
''that Horse will pint fish just as well as
he will fowl"

One Better.

An old joker who was never known to
yield the palm to an antagonist in reel
ing knotty yarns, was put to his trnmps
at hearing a traveller state that he once
saw Trick house placed upon runners
and drawn up hill to more favorable
location, some half a mile distant -
"What do you think of that, Uncle Eth
iel ?' said the by staniers. "Oh. ...fudge!"
said the old man. 81 once saw two
story stone house, down east, drawn by
oxen three miles" A dead silence en-
sued the old man evidently had the
worst of it, and he saw it. Gathering
all his energies, he bit off a huge piece
of pigtail by way of gaining time for
thought. ''i'hey drawed the stone
house." said the old man, ejecting o
quantity of tobacco juice toward the
fireplace; "but that wasn't the worst
of the job; for after they'd done that
they went back and drawed the cellar p

How Glover Improves the Soil.

Prof. Voelcker thus explains the ac
ton of clover in increasing the fertility
of soils:
"All who are practically acquainted
with the subject must have seen that the
best crops of wheat ale produced by
being preceded by crops of clover
grown for seed. I have come to the
conclusion that the very best manure is
a good crop Of clover. A vast amount
of mineral manure is brought within
reach of the corn crop, which otherwise
would remain in locked-up condition
in the soil. The plants take nitrogen
from the atmosphere and manufacture il
into their own substance. which, on de.
composition Of the clover roots and
leaves, produces abundance of amonia
In reality. the growing of clover is
equivalent to great extent to manur-
ing with Peruvian guano which a farm.
er would ever think of applying. 1t is
only by carefully investigating subjects
like the one under consideration that
positive proofs are given, showing the
correctness of intelli gent observers in
the field"

to be the road from Woodsield to
GAINESVILLE; others are suggested, but
have not yet developed the confidence
that propositions Of this kind must show
TO succeed.
Let me mention proposition which
seems to me worthy Of consideration.
The Lake Shore and Tuscarawas Valley
road was last year completed from Graf
ton, in Lorain County, to Dennison, in
Tuscarawas County. A few days ago a
charter was obtained for a road from
Sandusky to Newcomerstown in Tusca-
rawas County. Now, by connecting
with either of these routes at Dennison
or Newcomerstown, railroad could be
cheaply built along the valley of Still
water to GAINESVILLE The line from
GAINESVILLE to Woodsfield is well known
to our people, most of which line was
recently surveyed and favorably reported
upon. From Woodsfeld to Marietta the
valley of the Little Muskingum affords
excellent facilities for good road. This
road, if built, will open a line from the
Ohio River TO the Lake, passing through
larger amount of mineral region than
any other road in the State, opening a
means of trade for the fish, lime and
lumber of the Lake south, together with
Lake Superior ore and affording means
of transportation for the coal, salt and
ore of the South part OF the State, north
and west
1t would cross all the great thorough
fares of the country, to wit: The New
York Central, Cleveland Columbus and
Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and
Chicago, The Erie Railroad, Pennsylva-
MIA Central, Baltimore and Ohio, and
connecting at Marietta with the Ohio
Valley Road, which will be built to that
point within the next two years, thus af-
fording competition for cheap rates on
all these lines east and west.
have given the matter some thought,
and suggest it without at present giving
any opinion, but submit it as worthy at
least the consideration of the people who
live along the proposed line from Den
nison to Marietta, and who desire cheap
freights by bringing to their doors so
much competition. A.
